Fit to Be Thai'd
See All Lists
1. Bangkok One
This place kicks booty for cheap, quick lunch (same food at dinner, prices several bucks more but still a fairly good deal). Prices are a steal and you can actually dine in at this sit-down place and be in and out before your lunch hour is over!…More »
2. ChuChai
Eight or nine years ago on a visit to Montreal, I discovered Chu Chai (then in its former location) by accident while wandering the neighborhoods. I was so thrilled to find an all veg restaurant serving fabulous food I dragged my traveling companion…More »
3. Faang Thai Restaurant & Bar
3.5 stars.
You know, for a Thai restaurant set up in Warrenton, Faang really ain't half bad. Sure, when you compare it to the plethora of Thai dining establishments *inside* the Beltway, it's [on the higher end of] average. For Warrenton dining,…More »
4. Green Papaya
While visiting Boston recently we stayed in Waltham, arrived to the hotel rather late in the evening, and were looking for a good place nearby to grab a bite. I whipped out my trusty Blackberry, opened the Yelp app, and punched in "Waltham, MA."…More »
5. I Love Thai
This spot is new since I lived in Ballston a few years ago, so when I was in the food court this afternoon I thought I'd give it a go. It hits all the necessary notes for a satisfactory quick-lunch:
1) "Service should be friendly but efficient." I…More »
6. Mai Thai
3.5 stars.
We eat at Mai Thai on occasion after a strenuous day of shopping and strolling around Old Town. It can take a lot out of a girl, and Mai Thai is a nice way to refuel and stretch out the tummy for the requisite visit to Ben & Jerry's…More »
7. Pilin Thai Restaurant
This place really is A-OK. When we lived right behind this dingy strip mall, we ate at Thai Pilin frequently. It's small, and a hole-in-the-wall as others have said, but it's usually not a problem getting a seat. And if it is, well there's always…More »
8. Rice & Noodles Thai Gourmet
3.5 stars, and reason #58 why I love Yelp: friends' reviews often point me in most excellent directions. Thanks to Mike T. for planting Rice & Noodles on my radar!
The food here was really nice. Not the best Thai I've had (hello, THAI Shirlington),…More »
9. Rice & Spice Thai Cuisine
Little River's Rice & Spice is the latest eatery opened by the folks responsible for DC's Asia Nine and the south-of-the-Beltway "Alexandria" location of Rice & Spice. They've set up shop in the space formerly occupied by Maizbon, whose closure was…More »
10. SakulThai Restaurant
Despite having eaten SakulThai food dozens of times, I've never actually set foot in the establishment. A restaurant with delivery breeds armchair-customers...and laziness. But that's neither here nor there.
SakulThai offers perfectly passable Thai…More »
11. Thai Cuisine
3.5 stars.
We visit Newport every summer to see family, and we make Thai Cuisine a regular pit stop after a day of shopping on Thames Street. It's a small unassuming establishment on a quieter end of the Street, which is why we enjoy it (a nice…More »
12. Thai Curry
I thought it'd be nice to treat Moms and Pops to a casual lunch out. You know, to repay them for public temper tantrums at the mall, ER visits, teaching me how to drive, and shelling out for my higher education. Thai Curry seemed just the ticket.
We…More »
13. Thai Lemon Grass
Decent. Consistent. Affordable. But oily.
Thai Lemon Grass is on my way home from work, so sometimes I swing by if I'm suddenly in the mood for Thai and need to scratch that itch stat. If you walk in and place an order to-go, it's ready within 10…More »
14. Thai Peppers Restaurant
I think of Thai Peppers as a special little place for me and moms. She's the only person I've been here with, I guess that's why. I don't work summers, and she's retired, so in warm months we have lunch dates in our favorite neighborhood, Del Ray.…More »
15. Thailand Royal Street Restaurant
Thailand Royal Street, where have you been all my life?
Oh. Right. In Old Town Alexandria since 2006.
You're just like that boy in my freshman Biology class who sat in the back. He wasn't unattractive in his cute little gingham button-downs, but…More »
16. T.H.A.I. In Shirlington
Still my favorite Thai restaurant. After 15+ years eating here, I've yet to find better Pad Thai Jae or spring rolls.
My only regret is not trying the calamari sooner. It's my newest benchmark courtesy of T.H.A.I. Shirlington.

Seems like Thai restaurants are a dime-a-dozen these days, featuring the typical, run-of-the-mill… Read more »
Recently updated lists from MacRae O.
I Think I'm Alone Now... (41)Despite their popularity, I find these places somewhat (if not totally) overrated. |
Think Globally, Buy Locally (71)The best places to pick up farm-fresh, local, homemade, organic, and/or good-for-you goods! |
Bubbles in My Beer (66)Here's where I been watchin' 'em. |
Westsiiiide! (65)Alexandria's West End is wonderfully diverse, ethnically varied, and abuzz with activity -- why I love to call it home. |
Your Body Is a Wonderland (13)Here's where to treat it like one. |
I'm Flexible (19)After nearly two decades as a strict vegetarian, I decided to adopt a "flexitarian" lifestyle and reincorporate farm-raised, grass-fed, organic, and humane meats back into my diet. Here's where I find that ethical food. |
Carbo Loading (76)Wraps, enchiladas, pitas, spring rolls, quesadillas, crepes, turnovers, pupusas, samosas, tacos, calzones, empanadas, pierogies, dosa, pot stickers, burritos...I'll eat anything in a carbohydrate shell. Except pot pie. Not pot pie. |
Two Tickets to Paradise (46)Hawai'i's Garden Isle of Kaua'i is as close to heaven on earth as it gets. Here's just a few of its amazing offerings. |
The Rainbow Connection (34)Someday we'll find it. |
So Why Don't You Run across the Border, Mama? (37)I won't forget/ to bring you back/ what you need: cheesy, spicy, delicious Latin food. And yes, I counted Tex-Mex and Latin fusion. |
