Soi 38

Really good and enjoyable Thai food with classy interiors. The ginger tofu curry was very potent and flavorful. For the crispy noodle app, was expecting a fried egg as mentioned in the menu, but it was not an overt fried egg but incorporated strangely fried- could not tell it was an egg. Overall loved the food and place and highly recommend.

Taste: We were craving Thai food and decided to give Soi 38 a try after seeing some great reviews. The menu has all the Thai classics, so it was tough to choose—but we went with the drunken noodles, chili chicken, and shrimp pineapple fried rice. Everything came out super fast (like, under 10 minutes), and while the portions were a bit smaller than expected, the flavors made up for it. Everything was tasty and satisfying. Service: The service was solid. We had a reservation and were seated right away. Our server was helpful and made sure we had what we needed. The drinks especially stood out—really nice presentation and tasted just as good as they looked. Ambiance: The vibe at Soi 38 is really nice—stylish but still chill. It’s perfect whether you’re out for a casual dinner or dining wit

I had never been to Soi 38 but it had great reviews so we decided to give it a shot and we will definitely be back, everything was so delicious and well made 😋

Stylish Thai restaurant, but food and service have room to grow We stopped by Soi 38 for lunch with a friend in June 2025. The interior was very nice, but the food quality was mixed. The Tom Kha soup was excellent. The duck salad had a strong, weird aftertaste, so we left most of it. The green curry was ok, not five-star though, as something seemed missing from the flavor palette. The noodles were excellent. The "crispy" duck entrée was ok but wasn't crispy at all and tasted more like a Chinese dish than Thai. Service was fast but not customer-focused. I explicitly asked not to bring entrées before we finished our appetizers and soup - common issue in Thai restaurants. Still, the entrees arrived just minutes after the appetizers and soup, leaving us to choose what to eat before it got col

Why was I the only family eating in? This was an amazing gem with delicious Thai food. Crispy Duck was outstanding. Pork belly very nice. Not overly authentic, but I appreciated it was a good mix of western and Asian for my liking. Still true Thai food though, if not inspired by Thai tasted. It was expensive, but we shared 1x satay and 5x meals between 4x of us ~$160 for 4, but didn't need to spend that much. Venue and service was outstanding and just what the wife needed to fill her restaurant fix. We had just landed in DC and it was easy and nearby. We nearly walked away as the door was difficult to open and place was completely empty, but glad I pulled hard as it was a gem for the area. Certainly will recommend and when I'm in DC next time we will certainly come back for business or
