The service was great, and the restaurant itself was really pretty and had such a nice atmosphere. We all got the mango frozen cocktails, and they were AMAZING; so refreshing, and honestly the perfect pairing with the food. Everyone in our group ordered something different, and everything we tried was so good. I got the Thai vermicelli, and it was absolutely delicious! I also got to try some of my friends' dishes, and everything was flavorful and really well done. I'm usually pretty nitpicky when it comes to coconut curry sauces, but it was so perfectly balanced and flavorful. It was easily some of the best Thai food I've had in the DMV (honestly!). No complaints whatsoever. I'll definitely be returning next time I'm in the area! :)

Amazing Thai food at this restaurant. Got the green mango Salad, chicken wings, khao soi, and beef…read morecurry. The mango salad was delicious, I could eat that all day. The khao soi had good flavor, and it came with rice. The chicken wings were for my son, he said they were the best wings he's ever had. The beef curry had good flavor, but the beef was a bit overcooked. Service was a little bit of a miss. When the waiter first came, he asked us for our food order. However, we wanted to order drinks first. I was able to order my cocktail, however, the waiter left before anyone else at my table could speak to order a beverage. Food came out very quickly. This is not the type of place where you would want to enjoy drinks and food over a period of time. However, if you are super hungry, your food will definitely get to you quickly. Restaurant was crowded, but not super loud. Overall, I would come back for the food, I just wish that I could have more time to enjoy my restaurant experience.

Came here on a weekday evening around 98:45M. Shared a chicken satay and mango sticky rice, I had…read morethe khao soi. The chicken satay was fried chicken with peanut sauce, definitely not authentic (chicken satay is usually grilled). Decent for what it was though. The khao soi's flavor was great, there were pieces of chicken which is also not authentic (usually has a chicken leg). The mango sticky rice was tasty though, rice was warm and chewy, mango was very little though. I originally asked for tom yum noodles with thick rice noodles (it usually comes with super thin noodles), and the kitchen "couldn't" do it. Yes you can, all you have to do is cook a different type of noodle and put it in, it's not that hard. I'm not sure what you "can't" do about it. Price was okay, decent for DC. Service kept reminded us probably at least 3 times throughout the meal that they're almost closing (at 9:30PM).

Their "jungle menu" also offers more adventurous dishes that might be unfamiliar to local diners. The sparkling lemonade was also one of the highlights but I don't have photo for it. If you are not into sweet drink and more on tangy, this drink is for you. The service was quick and attentive, and the space works well for both small and large groups. They also have photos displayed of people who I believe are the owners. I highly recommend this place, especially if you're new to Laotian food. You may recognize some dishes that overlap with Thai cuisine because of their shared historical ties, but the cooking techniques and some staple ingredients set them apart

I love the colorful decor and the woman behind the bar was hustling - she was playing the role of hostess and bartender all at once and never missed a beat! I ordered chicken satay, because I just wanted a little bit of a protein snack to hold me over for a bit. It was good - pretty standard and what I expected. But after seeing the person next to me order the Claypot Noodles, I placed that order to go. I loved the dish - light, but still flavorful and filling with a decent amount of fresh crabmeat sprinkled on top. I would definitely order it again.

There's a dozen small tables inside with 4 tables outside. The food was prepared very fast within 10 minutes, fresh and pipping hot! Sadly, there are no lunch specials (the dishes are a little pricey at $18). The Pad Thai is hands-down the best with saucy rice noodles, topped with fresh scrambled egg, crunchy crushed peanuts, and airy fried tofu. The dish was very fresh and flavorful. Tofu is typically dense at most Thai restaurants, but surprisingly the tofu here seemed freshly fried and soft and tender. It was odd that I was given a large fork and spoon, but no chopsticks! I received a disposable pair upon request. The Panang Curry tasted authentic with a mid spicy kick (I requested for mild), which wasn't overpowering and served with a side of white sticky rice. There was a heap of cubed airy tofu. It would have been nice to have a bit more curry to balance out all of the tofu. I enjoyed the dish and made for great leftovers! Agree with fellow Yelpers, the Thai Iced Tea is the perfect dessert and not to be missed! It's sweet and helped to offset the spiciness of the curry. The touristy poster of authentic Thai favorite dishes actually delivers and not a tourist trap, quite the contrary! Great Thai restaurant by the Capital. Looking forward to coming back!

Delicious Curry...Just Wish There Was More of It!…read more After a weekend away, I wanted something good, warm, and comforting for dinner, so Thai food immediately came to mind. I've tried quite a few Thai spots around DC, but this was my first time ordering from TipThai. I went with the red curry with chicken, and it was REALLY delicious! The curry was flavorful, rich, and exactly the comfort meal I was looking for. I also love that they let you choose your spice level -- mild, medium, hot, or extra hot. I ordered mine hot, and it was perfect! Definitely had some heat, but not so much that it overpowered the flavor of the curry. My only real complaint was the portion size. The price was comparable to other Thai restaurants in the area, but the amount of food definitely wasn't. The portion was noticeably smaller than pretty much every other red curry I've ordered locally, which was disappointing considering the price. That said, the curry itself tasted so good that I'm definitely interested in trying some of their other menu items. I just worry that the smaller portions may be consistent across the menu. Overall, TipThai nailed the flavor and spice level -- I just need them to be a little more generous with the portions!

Our group shared the Moo Yang and Crab Dumplings to start, and both were delicious. For our mains, two of us ordered the Pad Thai and the others had the Panang Curry. Everything we tried was flavorful and well prepared, and I can definitely see why this place gets praise for its Thai food. The only issue was the timing coming out of the kitchen. Our Panang Curries arrived several minutes apart, and we waited more than 15 minutes for the Pad Thais after the first entrees were served. We had to ask our waiter a few times about the rest of the food so we could actually eat together. It wasn't just our table either. I noticed the same thing happening around the restaurant, including a couple on a date where one person had her meal sitting in front of her for about 10 to 15 minutes before the other person's food arrived. Hopefully they can work out the timing because the food itself is worth coming for. Despite the issue, I would definitely give Rimtang another try.

Very tasty! Liked the sauce as well. - fresh spring rolls: really fresh, tofu didn't feel very substantial. A bit difficult to eat being cut the way they're cut as things just fall out - drunken noodle with tofu: really good flavor, noodles cooked just right, not too spicy. Tofu was a bit empty, didn't like the texture much. I wish I got half tofu, half veggies because the noodles were a big bunch of noodles and a few pieces of tofu. Really friendly staff (although I came with a friend who knows the people working there). Prices are about average for DC I guess, 20% service charge automatically added for staff (it's said on the menu which is great).

First time visiting this place after saving it on my list for a while now. Well, let's just say…read morethat it's worth the hype! Advice: sitting outside might be better in the cooler weather because we were being eaten alive by mosquitoes and fighting off flies. I really hope that they consider some type of nature oils near the tables to help guests feel more comfortable outdoors. Also, it would help to get more than one fan. Hospitality: aside from the bugs encounter, I would say that we did not have reservations (they were packed inside) so the hostess was nice enough to accommodate us outdoor. Our waiter, Anthony was a ball of energy and he really understands the dishes and was able to give great recommendations, some of which we plan to try on our next visit. Portions: the dishes are shareable so we only ordered the beef noodles and walnut shrimp and both were more than enough for a party of 2. DRINKS: I ordered the dark and stormy which can best be described as not too sweet and perfect for anyone desiring a well balanced drink. The bourbon smash was also really good. Well balanced with a smoky flavor which I loved. FOOD: Beef noodles- gosh this was so divine! Be warned however, there is a bit of spice to it but nothing that you won't be able to handle. I think the spices paired with the preparation of the noodles and the beef all made this dish memorable. Walnut shrimp- another memorable dish which came with a side of white rice. The shrimps were HUGE! But the flavors on each shrimp paired with that crunchy texture and creamy sauce, spectacular! Safe to say that we enjoyed both dishes and cannot wait to return and reserve indoor tables lol

I don't even know how to describe the energy in this place, but you can just feel it the moment you walk in. The restaurant has a dark aesthetic that gives it such a cool, cozy ambiance. My daughter and I ordered the Dan Dan noodles and spicy wontons. Everything was so filling that we ended up ordering another bowl of the Dan Dan noodles! And honestly, I still crave them. The Dan Dan noodles were SO good. The sauce was the perfect combination of creamy and spicy, and there was a generous amount of minced pork that balanced everything out really well. The wontons paired perfectly with the chili sauce that came with them! They were spicy--my ears turned red and my nose started running--but I literally could not stop going back for another bite. Even the wontons alone were incredibly filling. I don't live anywhere near this place, and I genuinely wish I did. I traveled pretty far to get here, and I'd absolutely do it again. This was one of those meals that stays on your mind long after you've left!
