Great customer service and decent Thai food!! I've never heard of Thai Select but glad I found them when I did! They accepted my large, last minute catering order (greater than $500) that I placed for a team event. The order was delivered on time AND they helped me quickly set all the food out. Also, all the dishes were really well packaged! read more

My new favorite Thai place! We found them through a promotion on Doordash and will definitely order from them again. The food was tasty and really reasonably priced! We ordered the family meal which is recommended for 4-6 people and two additional entrees, which was more than enough food for 5 people. The family meal is really a great deal. You get to pick an appetizer and two dishes, one rice and one noodle. We got the crispy spring rolls for the appetizer and really appreciated how they vented it by cutting a triangle in the lid so they stayed crispy! They were so tasty. We also got the spicy basil fried rice with beef and the pad see ew with beef. They were both delicious! I get pad see ew anytime I get thai food, and this did not disappoint at all. We also got the Basil Paradise with duck which was just okay, wouldn't really recommend it or get it again, but the Crying Tiger was great! Grilled Thai style flank steak sliced thin paired with sticky rice. Not bad for $18. The family meal is only $45 which is seriously a steal. Delivery was fast and the food was hot and fresh. Would definitely recommend!! read more

I really enjoyed this place, flavors were on point, portions were a good size and the food came out fast! The drinks that came in the plastic containers were super cute and the 3 we tried were all tasty. The only thing I was indifferent about was the soup that came with the lunch meal - but I wasn't expecting it anyways. There was both indoor and outdoor seating, we elected to dine indoors because it was so hot outside. Parking was cramped and we couldn't find any in the adjacent lot, but were able to find street parking nearby. Overall a solidly good Thai place and would definitely go back if I were in town. read more

Solid Thai place at a decent price! Kinda felt sketch when I saw they sell everything at this restaurant like sashimi and bubble tea but decided to try the duck and green curry and was not disappointed! Also tried Tom yum which was just average. Felt sanitary as Staff all wears masks and you can see into the kitchen while they are cooking. Most people order takeout but we dined in because we were the only people in there. Would definitely order from them again! read more

Thai Select - Duck Red Curry - Thai Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

WARNING: This restaurant exploits and misleads customers on DoorDash. So I was feeling under the weather and wanted some soup to get my health back. I go to DoorDash because I'm not up for going out. I eventually stumbled upon "Yin Soups" (will explain the connection to Thai Select later) which was apparently a new restaurant on DoorDash (and promoted recently) as they only had 25 ratings. Hesitant, I look up "Yin Soups" on Google and get no returns. Huh, that's a little weird but okay. I eventually find "Cup of Wonton Soup" for $15.99 and the description is "Pork and shrimp wontons simmered in a light consomme topped with roasted pork." I think to myself "$16 for a cup of wonton can't be right. Surely this must be a mistake." Seeing as it's a new restaurant, I wanted to give them a chance and hoped I wasn't paying $16 for a tiny cup of soup. With no way to verify the integrity of Yin Soups, I took the risk. I was sorely mistaken. Aside from the delivery and service fee, I paid $16 for the cup of soup pictured. That's right, folks. For $16, you can get a cup of soup that you can eat in a couple of minutes. "What does this have to do with Thai Select?" Yeah, that's where it gets interesting. After receiving the soup, I was flabbergasted. I go to "Yin Soups" on DoorDash and find their address is "1713 Wilson Blvd, Arlington, VA 22209, USA." Does that address look familiar? Yes, it's the address of Thai Select. So here's what has happened: Thai Select rebranded themselves as a SECOND restaurant on DoorDash as "Yin Soups" with the same address. "Yin Soups" offers the same menu as "Thai Select." Thai Select currently exists on DoorDash already. Thai Select's "Cup of Wonton Soup" goes for $8 in the restaurant, goes for $9 on DoorDash, and GOES FOR $~16 when ordered from "Yin Soups" on DoorDash. While the merchant sets the price on DoorDash, and they're fully within their right to set whatever price they want given the extra fees, the fact that they're charging $16 for a literal cup of soup when it's the exact same restaurant as Thai Select, and is $9 if ordered directly from Thai Select on DoorDash, is downright exploitative and insulting. Shame on this restaurant and their practices. read more

My go-to Thai place in Arlington. I love that they clearly label the vegan options on their menu. I always get the drunken noodle and my fiancé goes for the pad Thai. They have a good happy hour as well! read more

Cute small restaurant. Good food and nice efficient service. We ordered blanket shrimp, calamari, fresh rolls, tofu drunken noodles $15, chicken pad Thai $15, Hawaiian poke rice bowl $16, combination plate 1/2 chicken pad Thai and 1/2 chicken Panang (small portion) w/ a tiny 1/2 scoop of rice $15. Everything tasted good. Majority of people ordered to go so they were hustling with all of those orders pretty quickly. read more

I ordered from here because of a buy one get one deal that was going on for Uber eats. I ordered the red curry and the spring rolls. Overall this was a really great and well priced deal. Hi enjoyed the red curry very much. However, the red curry was not nearly as spicy as I had anticipated it to be. The serving size of the curry was very well portioned and enough for leftovers. I thought that the eggplant in the curry was great and the food was very delicious overall. I would say that the red curry was more sweet than other Thai curries that I've tried. So for people who steer clear of spicy, this mild curry is perfect for you! read more

I have never dinned at the restaurant. I have always ordered for pick up. I can say it's always busy and a lot of people picking up orders form Uber eats and DoorDash I am assuming. It gets hard to go and ask for your order up at the register. Over all the food never disappoints always so good. My favorite is the chicken drunken noodles very spicy. So delicious strongly recommend. read more

So I've been paying closer attention to the health scores of various restaurants and marking them off one by one if they are below a certain score. Unfortunately, a lot of my asian spots are well below 80, one was even in the 60s. Yuck. Anyways, I came across Thai Select and saw that they had a score of 100! I was taken back a little by that bc it's rare. Most are low to mid 90s. So I placed an order to try some of my fave dishes out including a couple of new ones and boy oh boy did they not disappoint! Everything was so tasty and packaged great. My first order was delivered and the next time I went (a few days later, dont judge me), I decided to pick up and it was just as fresh as the delivery. I even added mild spiciness to one of my dishes and that may have been a mistake bc everyone's spice level tolerance isn't the same. Mild felt like medium to me. I was sweating a little BUT it didn't take away from the dish. It was still delicious! Also, pickup was easy and safe with this pandemic situation going on. They wore masks and gloves and even had hand sanitizer at the table for you. If you're looking for some great thai dishes, check this spot out! You won't be disappointed! read more

Very average experience. They do not answer their phone so you are forced to order from the online website. The order was wrong when we picked it up and when we came back there was no apology. The pad Thai was dry and kinda disappointing as they online put sauce on the side and not mixed in? Definitely better places to go. read more

They do business as I-Thai on Uber eats and I ordered basil fried rice but what I got was minced chicken with a side of rice and a very oily egg on the side as well. I wouldn't care if the food was good but it was so salty. Will not be ordering from here again. read more

Words can not describe what Thai Select has done for me and my family over the past 3 years. They been with me through good times and bad times. Every time I come back to DC from a vacation, my first meal is Thai Select on UberEats. Every time I am sad, they lift me up! Thai Select's services never disappoint. Food is always hot. And - they have a great rewards program through UberEats. If loyalty was a brand, it's Thai Select. I found out about Thai Select when they did a hostile takeover of my original favorite Thai place (iThai on M Street, shout out to the OGs). I noticed that whenever I ordered from iThai, my UberEats driver came from northern VA...suspicious. Regardless, the drunken noodles still tasted fire and I'd always been a very happy customer. I finally decided to take a pilgrimage to Thai Select in September of 2021. It felt like meeting up with someone I had been e-dating for years - I was nervous! Was I being cat-fished?! When I got there, I saw the logos of 8+ different restaurants on the door. Was I being cheated on?! I walked in and the place was buzzing with delivery drivers picking up orders. Orders of pad thai, bubble tea, dumplings, and more! I sat and ate alone and just observed the amazingness that was happening. It was a revolving door of delivery orders. A well oiled machine! Sitting over my steaming drunken noodles (and ice cold Sapporo), I realized I was witnessing history - true innovation in the restaurant industry. 8+ amazing offerings in one house, fueled by third party delivery and rewards programs. This was a restaurant that not only survived pandemic related economic downturns, but actually thrived!! It was a beautiful experience. In short, Thai Select is my hero for many reasons - the drunken noodles, 2 for 1 egg rolls, and the amazing business they've built! read more

I will get drunken noodles from another thai place down the street. They at least kind of fill the food container. They skimped on the food for some reason. I found few chopped meat. Not worth it read more

Thai Select - Drunken noodles - Thai Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

I ordered meals delivered to my hotel at 9pm. There were no plastic utensils, no napkin. The food was cold. I called restaurant to report. The manager said I had to ask for utensils and napkin when I placed order, he said he wanted to save the earth so he did not provide plastic utensils or napkin. He said he does not care if I cannot eat food with no utensils. I had to walk to the restaurant at 9:30PM for in-person reports, I requested the refund, he said no and the manager order his staff to hand me plastic utensils. When I am back to hotel, the food was too cold to consume. My daughter and I walked back to hotel by 9:52PM. I called back the restaurant to try to talk. The restaurant even block my cell number after I called the restaurant afterward. +1 703-565-2661 DO NOT eat or buy meals from THAI SELECT. read more

"Thai Select" more like I wish I selected something else. I ordered take out from Uber Eats. I paid an additional $2 for crispy chicken for my Massamun curry and it was just left out. But thank heavens I got the curry and the most minimal amount of vegetables. You can literally count 2 cubes of potatoes and 2 slices of carrots. The Tom kha was edible. Overall, I wish this place the best and I hope it gets better. read more

Very utilitarian Thai place with not much ambiance, but food was good. I was disappointed in the ThaiRama, though. I ordered it with tofu, which was fine, but the "bed of steamed vegetables" consisted of 1 small broccoli floret, two or three matchstick carrot pieces, and the rest some kind of lettuce or cabbage. Tasty, but I was looking for more in the veggie department. I threw a bunch of spinach into the leftovers and at least got some better nutrition on day 2! read more

Let's start out with the food quality...I would describe this place as on par with Asian food you would find in a mall food court. It's in no way authentically Thai. It's edible but not worth the cost and ultimately disappointing. What compels me to leave this place one star is its dishonest marketing and business practices. I have seen this place bill itself as SO many different names on Uber Eats, Postmates, and other delivery platforms. Here are just a few of the names it does business under beyond Thai Select: i-Thai, Vegan Mania, and Rice and Roll. Every one of these places is located at the same address and the menu is exactly the same, so they cannot even claim to host multiple businesses or kitchens. It is very dishonest marketing since I wanted to avoid Thai Select after trying them the first time but got duped into ordering again under one of these other names. The food that arrived was exactly the same as from Thai Select, which is what led me to look into the restaurant and notice their ever-changing names. Why keep re-branding if you stand by the quality of your restaurant? Maybe they're called "Thai Select" because they're constantly selecting new names to do business under. Bottom line: I would avoid this unethical business that sells very mediocre food under constantly-changing and deceiving restaurant names. read more

I honestly was not pleased with this place. I ordered a duck curry and a cucumber roll. First of all, for 6 small cucumber rolls, $4 is a bit much. I give it credit for being the better dish of the two orders. Second of all, the duck in the curry tasted off. It was dry and extremely gamey; it wasn't even soaking any of the curry flavors which disappointed me because the curry was pretty decent. Is it sad that the pineapple and the pepper in the curry tasted better than the duck which was supposed to be the main event? The reason why I got duck curry here was because I tried my friend's duck curry and regretted not getting it at another Thai place because it was SO GOOD. The other place's duck was plump and juicy and picked up the curry sauce just right. Ironic how I go here hoping to have a consistent satisfaction at this Thai place and it's absolutely not what I expected... you live and you learn I guess. Would not recommend this place for either sushi or Thai curry. read more

Love Thai Select for takeout night! They always have great promotions and awesome food. We always get the pad thai and fresh rolls! We also love the pineapple fried rice. Service is always quick and friendly. Highly recommend Thai Select. read more

This Thai restaurant used to be quite good and reliable. Unfortunately, that is no longer the case. Prices are up, portion sizes are down (especially the meat portion), and service is no longer reliable. With me, they have lost a customer for life. I highly suggest you find another restaurant! read more

I ate lunch at Thai Select for the first time on Tuesday, and unexpectedly enjoyed it so much that I came back on Friday. And finally -- bubble tea in the Rosslyn area! The menu has all the standards you'd find in your typical Thai joint in America, but the ingredients are high quality and fresh, and the dishes well executed. The lunch box specials, available until 3pm on weekdays, include a soup of the day that is chock full of fresh vegetables and a choice of a couple fried veggie dumplings or a spring roll. And unlike previous comments, something must have changed because it's a lot of food; lunch is more like dinner portions - for only $9.99 to $11.99 depending on the protein(s) selected. So far, I've had: - Green curry with duck (there was a whole duck breast sliced in there) - Basil eggplant with seafood (east coast mussels and not the green-lipped ones from New Zealand) - Fried calamari (a light dusting of starch before perfectly fried) - Lavender milk tea with lychee popping bubbles (OMG. And not too sweet!) The main dishes were very filling with lots of perfectly cooked veggies. I admittedly licked up every drop of their sauces. They also have fried or grilled sliced marinated chicken lunch combos with sticky rice, as well as soft shell crab (!). And various other fruit popping bubbles, aloe, and Thai jellies for the bubble tea in addition to the typical tapioca bubbles. Despite being a casual eatery, the restaurant interior is quite nice with relaxing piano jazz playing. Very glad to have this place nearby my workplace. I'll be back...often. read more

Not impressed. - The portions are tiny. (See photos of Pad Thai/Panang combo - that's a teaspoon in photo for scale; full "serving" of Panang on plate) - Ever dish is overly sweet. - The Tom Yum soup didn't contain any Thai ingredients - no galangal, no lemongrass, no straw mushrooms (had white button mushrooms). Also, soup was ordered with shrimp and instead came with two lonely mussels in it, but no shrimp??? If I wanted extreme-diet portioned, sweet American food I wouldn't have gone out for Thai! read more

Another stop on my Rosslyn/Courthouse food tour of Arlington. The place was pretty crowded and had a decent sized lunch rush, but since I was doing carry out, I went to the front desk and placed my order. They have decently priced lunch specials for $9.99 which includes soup, dumplings, and the main entree. The dumplings were my favorite part and everything else was pretty subpar. I went with the cashew chicken and veggies meal. The chicken was rubbery and tasted bland and the veggies were not very fresh or tasty either. The dumplings are honestly why this meal is getting 3 stars. The veggie dumplings were so flavorful and I could eat 5 more of them if they came with my meal. I'd be willing to try this place again for their lunch special with a different entree, but I'm not super excited about returning. read more

This place is my go-to when I don't feel like cooking anything. I've tried a variety of their noodle dishes and fried rice too. Although I would say - they sometimes forget to include utensils for takeout orders. This has caught me off guard a few times. read more

Needed someplace close to office and very happy I found Thai Select. Arrived at 1pm and not very many people there so got seated right away. Didn't explore their entire menu but saw around 10 options on lunch "box" menu and chose Green Curry with soup of the day and spring roll. Soup was good but not as hot temperature wise as I would have liked. Spring roll was excellent as was the green curry. Fast service and just the right spice. I will be back every time I'm visiting our Arlington office. read more

Had dinner here when they first opened and we loved the food, crispy softshell crab and crispy chicken were really good. But we felt the dinner combo portions were really really small. We each had a dinner combo here and then went to Pho 75 next door for dinner part 2. read more

I had a really bad experience ordering food here. I got pad Thai which was fine, but I also received green curry that was NOTHING like what I'm accustomed to. It was translucent and separated and greasy, too spicy to taste anything, without any of the nuanced creaminess of a regular curry. I think a friend ordered from the same place once before at their place, and it was quite good. So maybe this was a dud order and maybe not. Either way, I won't be risking it again. That said, delivery was quick and polite. But at what cost? read more

Always my go-to!!! For a similar price range, the food is WAY better than all the restaurants around. Always bring my family or friends visiting DC here read more

Consistently great Thai food. Excellent vegan options too. Love the Spicy Basil Fried Rice and Pad Thai. Tons of customizable dish items and easy to select via in app ordering. Pre-social distancing the dining room was always packed and the staff is so considerate. Help them out during this difficult time and support That Select! read more

Came here for lunch and made it in time to try the lunch box. I got the Kaprow chicken and the lunch boxes come with one spring roll and a small tiny bowl of veggie soup with tofu. The food was really tasted and tasted like authentic Thai food. I would just share a tip that If you get the lunch box the appetizers are smaller portions. If I'm ever in the area again I'd deff come back again! read more

Solid Thai. Good options for combos. Good sized portions. I've had the standards and they all hit the mark. read more

Great food in an adorable restaurant. My boyfriend and I came here for dinner after work and it was extremely busy. Service was fast and everyone was friendly. For starters I got spring rolls and he got wings. I got a coconut milk tea recommended by our server and my boyfriend got a mango milk tea with mango popping. For our entrees I got chicken pad se eew (my usual) and he got drunken noodles with chicken. We finished with the mango cheesecake and my boyfriend got another mango tea to go. All of the food/teas were delicious and I definitely plan on coming here again. read more

Definitely geared towards Uber/deliveries. Food was lukewarm/cool. No one in our party finished their food. No authenticity or effort put into dishes. The service was fast food drive thru quality. Nothing explained, honestly they seemed too busy to even bother with our table. We constantly waited for eye contact to order or get service. Needless to say not a good first impression and will not be returning. Should have looked at the prior reviews. read more

Love this place- awesome service ans food. So friendly and clean. Can sit outside and they are very attentive. the parking suck but it's worth the wait for other car to leave. They Have so much selection and the amount of food they give it's so worth it for your money! read more

This place is great for takeout. The sushi fish is always super fresh tasting and they are fast! Thai food is good but can be spicier than you expect. Overall reliable place for takeout but not the best ambiance to dine in. (Rated by a Thai person) read more

Very disappointed. Rude and unprofessional service from this restaurant. Tried to order online through Uber eats, and confirmed an order for delivery at 6:00pm. At 6, I check the status and the estimated delivery has been pushed back to 6:30. It gets pushed back later and later. When the time is 6:35pm, I get the notification that the restaurant has cancelled my order entirely. Now I'm left without dinner for my entire family and I have to scramble to get/make food, while everyone is hungry. Really disappointed, I'm not sure if it's the fault of this restaurant or if Uber. read more

I saw a sign that it was going to be a Thai Restaurant ,where Rolls by U used to be, so I decided to give this place a try. I walked in & ordered a take out, which took ten minutes. I got a Pad See Eew, from the lunch special. It came with a little Tom Kha Soup & your choice of veggie spring rolls or fried dumplings, the Pad See Eew that I ordered came out fresh & flavorful ! This restaurant had cute interior, great food, a bubble tea bar, YES ! They have a bubble tea bar that I'll be looking forward to come by this place again. read more
