T.H.A.I. In Shirlington Restaurant

Everything about this place was perfect! Food was tasteful & full of flavors. Outdoor & indoor seating. It’s a peaceful atmosphere! The service was 10/10. Will definitely be back.

This place has a large selection on their menu, and the appetizers were great. I had the spring rolls and fried tofu. If you have a gluten intolerance or celiac disease, there's a lot of options for you! My friend and I had the chicken basil and the tempura flounder. The chicken basil was tastey, but it wasn't spicy at all as advertised on the menu along asking to truly make this dish spicy (why I chose this spot originally). The flounder itself was fresh, good fish. The sauce however tasted like watered down fish sauce, again no spice character. If you don't want spicy food, then this would be great for you. If you want true Thai spice, I would look elsewhere. The service was alright, the first man I had was very kind. I recieved the wrong wine, but it ended up tasting great and honestly pairing better with the food than what I had originally ordered! The second person serving us seemed like they were over that day, which I get at the end of a long serving shift, it just doesn't mean you get to be cold towards everyone. Dietary restrictions: Lots of GF options and vegetarian options

Order two lunch specials, really delicious food! They have a new chef so one must visit a few more times to "test" him out. :)

Never disappointed with this place. The food and service is consistently good. There’s a lot of free parking within a block or two and very accessible. The setting is casual, comfortable, and clean. My sons, wife, and I started with the chive dumplings, which are a must have. My wife and I got the fried Thai chicken while one son had Penang perfect and the other had the General Tso’s chicken. Everything was delicious. Update. Overall a good place to eat. It's in a good location with several free parking garages within a few blocks which helps. Service is always good and the food is consistently good. This last time my wife and I made a meal with plenty of small plates (appetizers). One of our favorites is the crispy chive dumplings and the winter squash potstickers. We also had the chicken satay , chicken mango salad, and fresh Vietnamese summer rolls. Most are solid but I think the satay could be better. Update. We went there for lunch today since it had been awhile. We found parking behind the restaurant without any problems. The restaurant was clean and service was decent but I do feel like they’ve slipped some. I had the pad see ew while my wife had the Penang perfect curry. Both were ok but not up to our expectations. My pad see ew was a little sweeter than it should be and I think the vegetables were different. My wife’s chicken in the curry was tough. Still good food, but it feels like they’ve slipped. Getting parked is easy as there are no less than 3 free parking garages within a block or two so there’s no reason to worry. We were seated quickly although they were very busy; busier than I’ve ever seen them. The setting is very nice and a great place to go with a significant other. The food however seemed blander than in the past. An absolute must try are the crispy chive dumplings and winter squash potstickers. I had the crying Tiger steak, but it came nowhere near to making me cry; I think it could have been better. My wife had the spicy eggplant and had no problem with the heat to where she had to add peppers (and she normally avoids spicy). My son had the chicken cashew, which was shy of cashews. Again, not bad, but not as good as it used to be. New chef? I am never disappointed with THAI in Shirlington. The service is always great, and the food is always delicious. I’m a huge fan of the drunken noodles, spicy basil fried rice, pan-seared squash potstickers, and garlic chive wafers. But other dishes I’ve had were also delicious. This is a regular for my wife and I.

Came here for lunch, and The Panang Chicken they had on lunch special was more than a generous portion, tasty and affordable

Great food and good service.
