Best WLM Reviews
My friend and I went to this Thai restaurant for the first time. Service was great, but there were some other not-so-good things.
The table had crumbs on the seats, which implied to me that it hadn’t been cleaned. The food was not so good too. The veggie spring rolls were mostly batter and had very little filling, which to me implied they were store bought frozen and simply reheated. The green curry I got was grainy, as if the curry paste was not fully resolved. The bamboo shoots were stringy and not tender at all. The tofu in it tasted old and tough.
My friend enjoyed her noodle dish, and the mango sticky rice was very delicious, but I couldn’t get over the other downsides. For the prices they charge, I’d recommend trying other Thai places over this one.
????I ordered the pineapple shrimp fried rice, which is my number 1 gauge for Thai restaurants. Needless to say based on the rating they blew me away. The rice was seasoned with the spice level (3) was perfect and the shrimp chicken and extra veggies were bussing. I'm so glad untried this place its definitely worth a stop no cap…
The basil fried rice ($17 plus tax) is indeed spicy and the serving is enough to share. The Haekun appetizer, while crisp, was a bit dry (probably a bit overdone in the fryer). The only real negative point is their suggested tip amount, which is computed after tax.
TLDR: This is probably the best Thai food I've had in D.C.
This is a family-owned restaurant and it really shines in the mom-and-pop eatery realm. This was the most authentic taste I've had compared to my time in Thailand and my mom's cooking. Don't tell her I said that.
Everything I ordered was excellent and I was shocked at every dish. Not to knock Thai restaurants, but they Americanize their recipes quite often. I don't just mean with the spice levels either, but it's the flavors and ingredients. Remember, Thai food is distinctly known for combining the sweet, sour, and spicy components into a harmonizing melody that transports you to the motherland.
Definitely my new favorite spot.
Delicious food. I just loved all the dishes we ordered.
The thai coconut griddle was top notch yummy ????. It’s a must try I would say.
Parking is tricky.
I really like this place, especially the papaya salad, this will be my favorite food choice,we will be back!
Really good 5* experience, especially for food and service. This is a top DC option for Thai. I've visited many times and always had a great meal.
I visited most recently and had the Green Curry. They were nice enough to add string beans (no up charge). This is a very flavorful dish. Be warned, the normal preparation comes spicy. It isn't crazy heat but more spicy than the usually more bland places. Lots of veggies in it already. Really good green curry.
The service here is always really good. However, they are really busy during popular times. I've never needed a reservation to get a seat, but this most recent visit (Saturday night), I got the last table.
Definitely worth coming across town for if you want Thai.
Here’s a review based on your experience:
As a Thai food lover, I've been on a quest for authentic flavors, and this restaurant exceeded my expectations! It’s a small spot that I hadn’t heard many Thai people mention, but I believe they’re missing out. I've tried many well-known places, and while they were fine, this restaurant truly stands out. Every dish I've tasted here is absolutely delicious! If you're looking for genuine Thai cuisine, I highly recommend giving this hidden gem a try!
