    Food was pretty good, we definitely underestimated the quantity of how much food would come in each dish. We ended up having a lot of left overs. The Thai tea was especially good! I recommend getting this. The service was okay but the restaurant was very pretty inside.

    Went to TL on Friday night. It was fantastic. The Duck soup was delicious as was the crispy beef. Service was very good. I would recommend them for sure!

    This place is amazing!! The food portions are large (and sharable - if desired). It's so flavorful! The thai dumplings - got 3 orders. Drunken chicken noodles, crispy snapper, spicy fried rice (liked the ground chicken vs the filet pieces), and the crispy duck (OMG!!) - we ate well!! The ambiance is delightful. The owner is super friendly and sweet. You'll love this hidden gem that's not super busy!!

    Love the lunch menu. Comes with soup and spring roll. Both very good. I enjoyed the red curry, while my guest had panang curry. Both flavorful. Full of veggie goodies. Decor is nice. Not updated or fancy. Music playing at a low volume enhances the mood. Recommend for lunch.

    The picture saying it self. Delicious food, good service. If like Thai food this place is for you.

    Crispy Duck Noodle Soup - So good!
    Diana N.

    Who knew this area would be known for one dish: Crispy Duck noodle soup. I had the pleasure of trying Thai Tada's version and wanted to see how Thai Luang compared. Although their crispy skin got soggier faster, the duck had a bit more flavor from the duck fat. Also, the broth slightly had more flavor than Thai Tada's. Thai Luang's version uses very large wide noodle which was fun to eat with a fork. The prices were about the same and well worth every dollar. In conclusion, which place is better? Sorry folks, it's a dramatic tie for me!

    Pad Thai with Fried Tofu (to go portion is HUGE) nice and spicy if you ask for it

    I moved to Herndon two years back and ever since, this has been my go to thai place! In fact, since coming here I now live in Chantilly, and I will drive all the way out here because their thai food is the best in northern Virginia hands down. The staff are so friendly, sweet, and when you order to go they make it FAST. My go to items are the Pad Thai, Pad See Ew and the Spicy Basil Fried Rice. I really like spicy food and level 2 and 3 are very spicy! I love when places actually know what "spicy" means. I always get tofu as my protein and they give you plenary!The thai iced tea is also super good. I have never been disappointed with anything I've ordered from here. The biggest plus for me is they give you SO much when you order. I know when I order take out it will last me a good three to four days of dinner.

    Chicken Drunken Noodles with Ground Chicken...

    Wow. Well I asked a co-worker where to go for Good Thai. He said oh this place in Herndon. Another friend said Reston but I wanted to try a next door place. So sorry I did. This is garbage. This is Drunken Noodle. This is just slop, liquid clear red saucy. Minced chicken. Well I am glad I threw away $20... lets just say Sisters is worth the drive.

    Thai food is not my favorite. We went here for my MIL's birthday. The food was decent. Not a big fan of coconut either but we decided to share some coconut ice cream. DUDE, this ice cream changed my life. Imported directly from Thailand it was freaking amazing. Huge chunks of roasted coconuts it tastes like chocolate. I daydream about it everyday. GO TRY IT!

My mom and I were seated right next to the front door by the manager. Since it was freezing outside and the door kept opening, we politely asked if we could move to a table away from the draft. He told us no because a large group was expected to arrive soon. We then asked another employee, who said it wouldn't be a problem and moved us to a different table. A few moments later, the manager noticed we had been reseated. He came over, abruptly took the menus from our table, and angrily told us to leave the restaurant. The way he spoke to us was aggressive and totally uncalled for, especially considering his own staff had seated us. We decided to leave at that point. As we were heading out, he raised his voice again and told us to "go home," which was embarrassing and uncomfortable with other diners around. There was no confrontation on our end -- we didn't argue, complain, or cause a scene. We simply asked not to sit in the cold draft by the door. The entire situation escalated solely because of how the manager handled it. It's disappointing because the restaurant advertises friendly, welcoming service, which was the complete opposite of what we experienced. After reading other reviews, it also seems this isn't an isolated issue. If the owners see this, I'd strongly suggest addressing how customers are spoken to. No one should be yelled at or treated aggressively for making a simple, reasonable request.

We were pleasantly pleased that the bistro did not have a wait and we were seated immediately without reservations. Looks like there is also outside seating once the weather really warms up. The menu consisted of many familiar items. Many of the dishes allowed for a choice of protein. For my entree, I went with the shrimp pad see ew. Though the portion was generous and the noodles were cooked well, the dish was a bit too salty for my taste. It also had a noticeable kick of white pepper, which I actually enjoyed - but the salt was overpowering. Unfortunately, not only did I finish a glass of water at the restaurant, I found myself grabbing another glass after getting home. La Ong is low-stress dining in a cozy spot. Service was friendly and parking was a breeze with plenty of spaces.

Not pictured here but the Crispy Pork Belly with sticky rice was the star for me. We tried several other dishes, but this one really stood out. It was so good that we were craving it again just a few days later and ended up going back. Even thinking about it now is making me crave it again. In the photo is their papaya salad and another dish that I believe was siomai. I am not completely sure of the name, but it was good as well. The restaurant is easy to find since it is right next to a Starbucks. If you enjoy Thai food and love crispy pork belly, this dish is definitely worth trying.

They were slammed. And I think they did a great job with the demands of the patrons. Let me explain the 1 star rating. My friend raised her glass to take a sip of her cocktail. The entire bottom broke from the top and spilled the contents over 4 people. Half my pants leg was covered. Another had her purse drenched. Another her shoes were soaked. The one with the drink - her entire pants was soaked. My friends husband talked to the bar manager and he said he would comp us (4) a drink. So we told the bartender what our friends husband said. The bar manager came over and said he is only going to comp my friends drink that exploded. We all looked at him like "WTF just happened?" His bar back cleaned up the mess around us and saw all the liquid on the ground and stools. I don't even think they check to see if we were ok. The 3 of us paid our tabs and left. I haven't been to Tiki Thai much this year but when I had, I never had an issue. The service from the bar manager was appalling to say the least. There are so many restaurants in Reston Town Center that we can spend our money at and we will from now on.
