Surprisingly excellent Thai spot in Chevy Chase, with a limited but happily opinionated menu with some classic items as well as street food fare. We enjoyed the Beef massaman ( Slow-cooked beef in Massaman curry with potatoes, onions, and peanuts); it was a warm, nourishing comfort curry. Alongside the Baa Mee ( egg noodle, five spice roasted chicken, bok-choy, fried garlic, peanuts, spring onion, and cilantro), it was excellent combination of flavorful noodles and a rich creamy curry. Service was excellent and the space was modern and vibrant. Acoustics were poor however, as the amplified din made it very difficult to carry on a conversation. Really the only note for the restaurant.

Really great new Thai place. Succulent duck confit surrounded by curry. Nice spice, pineapple not too harsh. Crowded interior because of how popular they are. If they keep doing well maybe they should expand!

What a wonderful addition to the DC restaurant scene. Just opened 5 weeks ago and already a hit. The cocktails are innovative and delicious. The food is fabulous and has the audacity of real Thai food and also the spice. Every dish we order was amazing and look beautiful. The dessert matched the creativity of the menu (not often found in many restaurants) and loved them. Yes, we order two desserts.

SO GOOD! The grilled oysters. Chef’s kiss! The white curry. Chef’s kiss. And I do not like curry in general. Midnight Fried Rice. Thankfully this was not spicy but my friend tried the sauce and it was HOT but he gave it so many thumbs up. Highly recommend the homemade ice cream. SO GOOD! The staff were friendly and knew the menu. I watched them work a bit and helped each other out with each other’s trays.

A great thai restaurant that serves fabulous dishes that can be enjoyed by all people no matter their spice level. Absolutely delicious.
