Customer Reviews
Food: food was great, only deduction was the chicken appetizer was extremely small for the price paid. The pineapple frid rice was really good but pricy at almost $23. About 5 pieces of juicy shrimp were in the dish as well. Kruba cashew chicken was good. Service: got there as soon as they opened for lunch so seated right away and food was quickly delivered. Atmosphere: nice but a bit dated. Many of the tables are uneven and no longer sit together flush. Ambiance was nice, Thai decor all around and wooden vibe. Final impression: very good for a quick lunch in downtown DC and head back to the office. Might be added to a regular rotation in DC lunch adventures.
Went for lunch on Friday as they opened. Service was good, the atmosphere was good, the food was good 👍 It's definitely americanized (good for those who like that, less good for those who want authenticity). I enjoyed the Cashew Chicken but wish there was some spice to it. I would have liked a bit more rice, too (personal opinion). I'll be back for sure to try more of the menu!
The food was kind of fusion Thai-Pan-Asian food? The restaurant was spacious and bright. I liked this restaurant as a place to sit down and have a nice chat. The food was kind of so-so. The stir-fried was very Americanised and the portion was pretty small.
The taste of the food was so-so. I’m used to Thai food having stronger flavor. Also, this was the first Thai restaurant I’ve been to that didn’t include onions in the basil friend rice. After receiving my food, I asked for onions and was told it would be an ADDITIONAL charge of $4!
The food is rather average. I just spring roll appetizer. They had no flavor really, fried crispy but couldn't taste what was inside them. Chicken fried rice was alright but unremarkable. For 13.95 the dinner portion was small, much smaller than any Asian restaurant I've been to and I've been to plenty. Generally portion sizes at Asian restaurants are big enough to share, this was not. The server was decent. The decor is best thing about the place. I doubt I will ever return.
