Tiki Thai is always lovely. The vibes are fun and there are always new selections of cocktails and food. The food comes quickly and is delicious!

Ha N.

Ambiance: Christmas themed decor with a Tiki twist Food: drinks were great and food was good. Service: it was very busy in a Thursday evening. There were 4 bartenders and a bar back. 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.

Panang Curry

Ate at bar. No wait to get in. Food and service were amazing. Love the fresh air from the large open front door. I'm a vegan and had plenty of options for me to choose from. Would highly recommend.

Decor

What a cool place! The decor was well done and intentional. The food was delicious here. We had the chef's special pad Thai and it was so good. At first it didn't look different than regular pad Thai but the flavors were so much bolder. We also had a tofu dish that was amazing as well. The server was friendly and patiently explained the menu items when we had questions. We look forward to returning next summer!

Bar

The drinks were fun and holiday themed. Mine tasted great as well! I loved that the curry puffs came with its own little pot of hot curry it was soooo delicious probably best curry puff I've ever had. The chicken stir fry we got was good and heathy. I would return to try more on the menu. The ambiance was festive for the holidays and the service at the bar was welcoming and quick!

Pad Zee U with tofu

I've been curious about this place since seeing all their Instagram pics. The place did not disappoint. Food, service and most of all ambiance hit the 5 star mark. Same owner as Sense of Thai(multiple locations(, they carried their themed decor to this cute place. The menus, the outdoor patio, bar area and dining room all had personality. Service was great: water glasses and drinks always attended by someone. Multiple people delivering food, explaining items and asking if we needed anything. My friends and I decided to order full entrees since we also wanted to try the Pupu Platter consisting of beef, chicken, pork, salad, pork rinds and sweet rice. It was plenty of food for 3 people. Our entrees included 2 types of curry and the Pad Zee U. All were tasty with plenty of protein in each dish. We all packed plenty of to-go for later. Parking in the lot is free for 3 hours but if you go over the 3 even by 10 minutes then it's $12(that happened to me). They have lunch specials $18 that included a choice of appetizer and a good selection for entrees. We didn't go that route but for my next visit, I may chose that option.

Fun bar drinks

Food is great, drinks are strong. Service is fantastic and the restaurant is so pretty. A nice little outdoor area is great on a sunny day. Walkable from the metro station. Been here at least 10 times and it's always first on the list to treat out of town visitors. No one has ever had a meal they didn't like. Can get pretty spicy, though!

I took my parents with me on a lunch date, my Dad rarely eats out, maybe 2-3x a year because he likes cooking his own food at home. Needless to say, he enjoyed himself and the Lychee Duck Curry. So much so, he even looked up how to make it, it was extremely flavorful and the duck was tender. We were greeted by Fern the hostess who sat us right under some pretty cool artwork. We were waited on by Kiki, Amm and Gina, because shifts were rotating out, they are all so nice and helpful, we got recommendations from each one of them. We placed an order for the drinks and appetizers (everything came out really quickly) and enjoyed ourselves. The restaurant is beautiful and spacious, there's a cherry blossom theme currently with a really cool pink decorated phone booth in the front before you walk in and themed menu. The bar is very nice as well, my parents took a picture in front of it. The food was AMAZING, they have a lunch special menu and from what I saw was what the other patrons were ordering from as well. It's a steal of a deal! Here's what my parents and I ordered: Appetizers: Tom Yum: Chicken, lemongrass, chili, cherry tomatoes, kaffir lime, mushrooms Healthy Roll: Minced chicken, lettuce, carrots, Thai basil, rice noodles, cucumber, rice paper, spicy peanut dipping sauce Calamari: Southern-style fried whole wings, pickled veggies, sticky rice or steamed veggies Hot Gai Wings: Batter fried calamari, Sriracha aioli, shishito peppers Drinks: Love Yuzu Chardonnay North Bound Entree: Shishido beef: Flank steak, shishito peppers, mushrooms, onions, scallions, carrots Lychee duck curry: Duck breast, lychee, finger peppers, cherry tomatoes, Thai basil, pineapple, red curry paste Basil, fried rice: Ground chicken, Thai basil, bell peppers, green beans, finger peppers, fried egg Sa Mui Lo Mein -- Gina told us to try this dish. 100 stars. I would've never ever tried this. Shrimp, minced chicken, egg, onions, Thai basil, bell peppers, pineapple, chili shrimp paste Dessert: Cappuccino Spicy Brownie: Thai chili pepper, dark chocolate, almond tuile, salted caramel ice cream Pina Colada: Pineapple cake, coconut glaze, coconut flake, toasted coconut & chocolate chip ice cream I can't wait to see what's on the summer menu! I'll be back!

Pad Zee U
Eastie T.

Place looks great and Service was good the two times I've been to lunch last week. Pad Zee U is an underrated dish and needs a special mention for anyone tired of Drunken Noodles. The Tom Kha soup was a great pairing for the lunch option

Salmon Rolls

Tiki Thai Reston is one of my favorite place to go to for a late night cocktail. They open til late and you can ask for a drink based on your preference (e.g. sweetness of the drink). The chicken satay was delicious and tasted great! plenty of sauce and great to share. If you like sweet cocktails, choose "free as a bird" , taste like juice alcohol. Price was also reasonable and staff is always so friendly! Would always recommend this place!

Pineapple Fried Rice
Makenna M.

The ambiance and tiki decor was adorable! I went with my mom and got the pineapple fried rice, it was good but I was hoping it would come inside an actual pineapple like the pictures. I got the chicken satay with peanut sauce too which I really liked. The service was decent and I really want to come back to try their drink menu because it looks like they have a ton of good options!

Flew into town for a concert and saw this at the top of the recommendations, very serendipitous!…read more The place has a great atmosphere from the moment you walk in, the decor has a unique kitsch and the music is a definite vibe as well, and that's before you meet the staff. The staff was friendly front to back, hostess, waitress, bar tender- friendly and knew the menu and had solid recommendations and knowledge of the menu. The food was great, we had rangoons for an appetizer, followed by their famous General Tso's and the Mongolian Combination, all delicious! Highly recommend this place if you're in the area! Shout out to Jason!

I came here with a couple of friends who live in the area. The initial vibe and aesthetic seemed…read morereally cool. I was excited for my meal and experience there. However things went downhill pretty quickly. I ordered one of their specialty cocktails, which is more expensive than most of their meals, which was just ok. The drink was pretty strong which I didn't mind but most of it was just ice and the gummy was a little stale. Overall it looked cool but didn't really justify the price. The service is really where I felt let down. The 2 friends that I came with got their food in a normal timespan but it took 20-30 minutes for me to get my food. When I asked about it (because clearly they forgot) they lied and said their kitchen was backed up and the order is being prepared. The restaurant was half empty at that point so it was a little hard to believe. Also another waiter came out 10 minutes later and said my food just started to get cooked and will be out soon. Both my friends were pretty much done with their meals by the time I got mine and I didn't get anything from the staff aside from an insincere apology and a bad excuse. For the price we paid I expected much better service and for the staff to go above and beyond when they make a mistake, which didn't happen. The food was good when it eventually did come out though so I I'll give it an extra star for that.

Stopped at Makers Union in Reston on a rainy Sunday afternoon after taking our dog to the dog park…read more We sat outside on the patio with Onyx, and our server Kenny was great. When the rain started becoming an issue, he actually moved the umbrellas together to make sure Onyx had a dry spot. Really appreciated that. We started with a Bourbon Club and the Nitro Espresso Martini, then got the buffalo wings and she-crab soup. The wings can be grilled or fried and we went grilled, which was definitely the right call. Good char on them and I'd get them the same way again. The she-crab soup was also really good and perfect for a rainy afternoon. For lunch we had the French dip and the Reuben, and subbed the mac and cheese for one of the sides. Both sandwiches were solid, but the mac and cheese deserves a mention of its own. Definitely worth the substitution. Good food, good drinks, and especially good service from Kenny. Being able to hang out on the patio with our dog without the rain ruining lunch made the whole experience even better.

We had Mackenzie as our server and immediately connected because she's a foodie like me. At her suggestion, I got the Grilled Chicken Sandwich but swapped the grilled chicken for fried. She had me at bacon. I mean, what doesn't go well with bacon? The chicken was crispy without being greasy and all the flavors just worked. My son had the chicken and waffles. Chicken was perfectly crispy, although the batter was a little sweeter than I prefer. I'm more of a Southern, savory fried chicken person. We asked for hot sauce to add to the maple syrup and Mackenzie upped it by bringing us hot honey instead. YES! Makers Union, add that to the menu. Promise you, it'll be a hit. You can thank Mackenzie for that one! Hubby had the fish and chips. His first reaction was, "Is that all?" Turns out, it was more than enough and really flavorful. The food was great, but honestly, Mackenzie made the experience. When your server understands food AND is a great people person, that's a winning combination. Great first visit and we'll definitely be back!

One thing I really love about Masti is how thoughtfully the menu is put together. The dishes and even the cocktails feel carefully selected, which makes the experience feel a little more personal than your typical restaurant. The service is phenomenal, the staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is one of my favorite things about this place. It has a lively vibe without being so loud that you can't hear yourself speak. I love being able to sit down, enjoy good food, and actually hold a conversation. On my most recent visit, our server recommended the Kale Chaat, and it was an excellent choice! We also had the Chili Paneer as an appetizer. For my main course, I had my favorite: butter chicken with basmati rice and garlic naan. I paired it with the Cheeni Espresso cocktail, which is TO DIE FOR. It surprisingly reminds me of a piña colada, and I absolutely love it. The interior is also beautiful, from the lighting to the colors and overall design. Everything comes together to create such a warm and inviting atmosphere. I may be a little biased because I'm a HUGE Masti fan, but this is genuinely one of my favorite restaurants. I will travel across the DMV for their food without hesitation. If butter chicken, great cocktails, beautiful interiors, and a relaxed atmosphere are your thing, Masti is definitely worth trying!

It's great that parking is free in the nearby ramps on the weekend. The restrooms aren't far but you do need to exit the restaurants. The server was attentive and friendly. She got my daughter a kid friendly water cup and spoon. She also suggested non spicy options since I wanted to make sure my toddler would try as much as possible. Portions were generous and drinks were delicious. My toddler was still a little bit picky and honestly I'm not used to all of the traditional Indian spices but I'm glad we tried it. Also it was a bit on the pricey side but to be expected given the location and more elevated ambiance. We were able to bring home some leftovers which was nice not having to stress out about another meal afterwards.
