Okay, so I've heard some great things about Thai food, but havent had the (apparent) pleasure of enjoying any yet. I don't wanna take a blind shot at some restaurant and have a bad experience leading me away from Thai cuisine. Any of you all know any good Thai restaurants in the NoVa area? If so, can you give me a brief rundown of the place(s) you know of (location, prices, etc.)? Thanks all.

Bangkok 54 on Columbia Pike (near Brown's Nissan in Arlington) is a personal fav of mine. Thaiphoon in Crystal City isn't bad either

 

Neisha Thai in Tysons Corner FTW!

 

PM Jeffie about Thai food. He lives and breathes Thai food.

 

Sakoontra in Fair Lakes, up by the costco, real classy place, good prices too. Thats def me and my girls spot.

 

huh, thai? where'd that come from.


Thai food unlike Chinese food, isn't very Americanized unless you order the "thai salad" or some crap off the applebees or other mainstream restaurants menu. With that being said, if it looks like a smaller hole in the wall place, chances are it should be pretty good.

I like bangkok kitchen, its right across from FT Meade in Odenton.

Thai food is really good, my only problem with it (at least in this area) is the portion sizes suck.

Drunken Noodle FTW

P.S integrity My I/C is bigger then your I/C... sucka!

 

Anyone know a good thai place that isn't too spicy? I LOVE the food but can only eat so much since some dishes are just way too hot.

 

+1

 

busara in tysons!

 

oh yeah.. and pusara in kingston!! yum..

 

Only until I get a front mount sucka, 400AWHP is going to own you!

 

my favorite thai restuarant

House of Siam in springfield, va

It's family owned and run... so you get good service.. and good food.

2 dishes you gotta try.... if you're up to it:

1.) Beef Kapow (minced) with fried egg on rice - it's not on the menu.... just order it that way.

2.) Crab Fried Rice with fried egg

If you don't like eggs.. then just don't order the egg.

There's a Thai place in Fair Lakes shopping center, which is ok, but sakoontra is much better.

Tong Thai at University Mall (right across Braddock Road from George Mason) is also really good.

 

Thai Royal in Leesburg VA...
relatively cheap and i eat there like 3x a week. best thai ive ever had and its connected to a gas station haha.

 

Another vote for Busara, Neisha, and Sakoontra.

Need to try that Tong Thai place though, that's close to me too.

 

Well, since Neisha, Sakoontra and Busara all seem to have a good rep, i'll hit up those spots sometime. Any other suggestions are welcome.

 

As far as hot Thai food goes, give this a try. Order your food, then ask the person taking your order to tell the chef not to make it spicy.

believe it or not they'll do as you ask. =)




This sucker is the biggest I've seen so far.

If only I could say the same about my pants =(

 

Mine is taller and thicker but yours is wider.But we still have non cc'ed mirrors.

 

Dude, spicy food ftw. In my household, we've eaten A LOT of cajun food and the spicier the gumbo is, the better it is for me. No reason to change that when eating Thai.

Sidenote...+1 to jeffie, that's a BIG freakin' intercooler. lol

 

I want to find a good Jamaican place, and a good Korean place around here. I'm DYING for some yakimando
