This place was awesome. I saw it recommended on Reddit so we ordered delivery on a Friday night…read more Delivery was only $2 (+tip) and they don't upcharge the prices because they don't go through a delivery service. The only downside is you can't see the delivery progress but I felt like a kid again where you had no idea when the food would show up and you'd just sit there watching the window (it took an hour at peak Friday night). The pad Thai was delicious, not super sweet like some places make it. The crispy squid basil was also excellent, and they cut a couple small holes in the container so it was still crispy when it got to us. The prices were very reasonable as well. I think we found our new Thai place in Arlington!

I went here today for a small dinner and it did not disappoint…read more I took the time to read their reviews before going and noticed other yelpers commenting about lack of decorations and customer service. I'll be honest, I also felt at first that our server wasn't friendly. The food completely made up for her lack of customer service. We ordered the catfish as well as the boat noodle soup. Both had the most amazing flavor and did not take long to come out. I also noticed that once we engaged our waitress in more questions and conversation, that she is just a more reserved person and not unfriendly. The decor inside wasn't anything outstanding but I truly didn't care with how amazing the food was. This was the best boat noodle soup in northern va that I have tried.

I keep hearing how Bangkok 54 is the best Thai restaurant in Arlington, so I had to check it out…read more They have Happy Hour from 4-6:30, including appetizers, desserts, and an impressive cocktail list, all for under $10. I was greeted and seated as soon as I walked in. I ordered the Poolside cocktail and crispy spicy duck. I couldn't believe how fast they both came out. The drink had a summer vibe to it, with its mix of rums and fruit juices. The duck was hot, indeed crispy, and the medium spice was perfect without being overwhelming. It was a generous portion as well. The mango cheesecake was pretty good, and the fruit slices were very fresh.

Was seated by a delightful young lady, and found the decor and layout to be quite pleasing; modest by elegant. As for the fare, it was indeed quite worth the walk. Ordered a bowl of Tom Yum and the Pad Thai Mun Goong. The Tom Yum was solid and quite flavorful, a flux of tangy lemongrass with the oniony sweetness of steeped scallions, and enoki mushrooms to provide some heartiness. The Pad Thai Mun Goong was a chef specialty pad Thai made with stir fried rice noodle, prawns shrimp tomalley oil (a crucial element for this version), egg and bean sprouts, naturally topped with green onions, peanuts and a lime for squeezing, and this also was quite phenomenal. Savory, sweet, a little tingle of sourness from the citrus in the mid-palate, and the juicy, briny shrimp balancing the dense carbs and rich flavorful sauce. All-in-all, I was well pleased this visit. As this is Padaek's second location, I hope they don't expand too much further/quickly and compromise on quality.

They had a band and singers and folks were up dancing. We found out this is an annual thing and not something regular. We didn't realized they closed at 9pm so felt a little rushed. My friend and I shared the Pad See Ew with beef and the Pla Makham. Both dishes were so good and packed with flavor. We saw some good looking dishes being delivered to other tables and can't wait to return to try them.

Forgot a couple things at one point (sauces), but that's never a huge deal to me if I don't have to wait too long. Now for the food: It's a solid MEH for me. I ordered the kratiem prik Thai (garlic peppery), which comes with rice. This is my favorite Thai dish, which normally tells me all I need to know about a place. Got the lunch special at $14.95, which includes a spring roll. Paid $4 extra for Tom Yum, too. Garlic peppery: NOPE! It wasn't bad but the rice was overcooked and the dish, itself, was lacking flavor. I'm used to this dish being very flavorful and, dare I say, garlicky? This was neither. Added soy sauce and chili and it was still under seasoned/flavored. And at $14.95, which was only like 1-2 bucks less than the full entree price, I was not impressed. Tom Yum: lots of chicken but not as much flavor as I'm used to. There are better Tom Yuma in the area for sure. Spring roll: basic. Could've passed on it altogether. They put the sauce on it instead of serving on the side, too, in case that's not your thing. Thai tea: $5 but pass. The cup was so full of ice and the tea itself tasted like sweet orange milk with a hint of Thai tea. Decor: very cute and they have a patio! The floral decor was cute and clean. Mango mojito: $16. Yikes. These are almost city prices and it wasn't strong lol In all, not a bad experience but not an impressive one. Definitely wouldn't go out of my way for it. Not worth the $35 I ended up paying for it (this is for everything listed above except the mojito).

Plenty of parking on the left side of the bldg, tons of available seating. Hostess/waitress was a hoot; very friendly. Suggested several dim sum items. Samosas (4, $12) had a nice crispiness and a thinner dough than one usually finds in samosas. Would get again. The duck roll (2, $13) is filled with crispy duck and scallions. Would also get again. Mango cashew slaw ($11) has a nice spicy warmth to it. The Chinese chive dumplings (2, $6) had a nice crunch. We also got a beer ($9). A nice canned and bottled beer selection. We also got the Thai beignets dessert. 3-4 dim sum items is a full meal for a couple unless you're *really* hungry. Will definitely return. You should go. Now.

Perhaps it would be worthwhile to double check on cross contact (I don't always do that- though I'm a milder case of GF compared to some) or verifying it was tamari vs. soy sauce etc. ^Aside from this, I still enjoyed the meal!!
