Sense of Thai, South Riding

Sense of Thai in Chantilly is a solid spot for good Thai food. The food itself was amazing and definitely the highlight of the visit. The deep fried branzino absolutely stole the show, crispy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The fried pork and chicken satay were also very good, and the drunken noodles and pad thai did not disappoint. Unfortunately, they were out of mango sticky rice, which was a bit of a bummer, though that could simply be due to seasonality. The wait staff was fine, though they could have been a little more friendly, I might just be being picky here. Overall, a good experience and a strong 4 out of 5. I would happily come back again for the food alone.

The atmosphere here is very polished and the service is very attentive. They have a lunch menu during the week that comes with an appetizer. The spring rolls and healthy rolls are both very good. The roti is excellent. The entrees are good. I ordered the panang chicken curry. It has a good flavor. The pomegranate lemonade is a very good drink. The lychee cheesecake is a great option for dessert.

Such a vibe - definitely a great spot for the holidays! We got pickup and it was good. They were out of mango sticky rice, which was a bummer. They forgot to give us utensils so I had to go back in. It is pricey - like city prices in the burbs. Also, the auto tip buttons for takeout checkout starts at 20% minimum, which seems steep for pickup. But, I would go back! All decorated and fun and good food. The avocado yum salad was divine. Also, open late!

The atmosphere was nice. The service was good. The spring roll was just ok. The crab Rangoon was good. Bangkok wings were good. Lamp lollipop was good and very spicy. The drinks were ok. The love yuzu drink was very good and flavorful. The flank beef fried rice was great. The chicken panang was very good. The Chompshun pad Thai was ok. The strawberry coco dessert was good.

The food was absolutely great! I’m a huge Thai food fan, and every bite here truly hit the spot. I’ve had drunken noodles a million times before, but this one tasted unbelievably fresh—the flavor lingered with me long after the meal. My husband ordered the cashew chicken, and it was just as delicious. Even the Thai tea was beautiful and perfectly made. We’ll definitely be coming back!
