"Decent Thai for the region. What they call spring rolls are actually fried egg rolls. It was after we ordered that we realized we should have ordered the summer roll.My main dish Pad See Ew was on the dry side: noodles and tofu were VERY dry and chewy. The entire dish lacked flavor and spice. I ordered medium spicy and was warned that their medium is very hot so I changed to mild bad call, should 've stuck with medium because there was no hint of heat/spice.My husband orders spicy by saying, I 've traveled and eaten in southeast Asia, I want that level spicy. Most places smile and know exactly how to prepare his dish. Not this place my husband 's dish didn 't even cause him to sweat or sniffle. I could 've handled the spice in his dish, so it would be what I consider medium.Maybe, we caught them after a long strenuous day and we had the misfortune of getting their below average service and cooking because we walked in just after 8pm. If we 're in Alexandria again we 'll give them another try and hope we have a better experience."

Absolutely recommended! Great flavors and fresh ingredients. Pho is a must have on a cold day with some hot fresh egg rolls!

Good service and the food was better than we expected. The lighting was attractive but the TV was on Newsmax the whole time and was pretty distracting.

I had a disappointing experience at this restaurant. The food was not good at all, and I feel embarrassed to have spent my money here. I definitely won't be returning. If I could give it zero stars, I would.

This was my first time dining here, and it was the best decision I could have made. Everything I ordered was incredibly tasty and delicious. I'll definitely be recommending this place to my friends and coworkers. I can't wait to come back for more!

Wow! I finally tried curry for the first time and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience at this little restaurant. Each flavor in the curry was so distinct and delightful. The service was excellent, and everything tasted fresh. I give it a perfect 10 out of 10 and will definitely return. Thank you so much! View menu

I’ve visited many Thai and Vietnamese restaurants, and I’m looking forward to trying the pho next time to see if it’s just as good. The pad thai was excellent, the drunken noodles were delicious, and the curry was fantastic. The sesame chicken had the perfect balance of thickness and sweetness in the sauce. I’d definitely recommend this place and will return when I’m in the area again.

I had the red curry with chicken, extra spicy, and really enjoyed it. I also tried the steamed chicken dumplings. The person taking my order wasn't clear on the difference between Chinese and Japanese dumplings, so I took a chance that they wouldn't be the thin-wrapped Japanese style. Unfortunately, they turned out to be the thin-wrappers, which were just okay. At $8 for six dumplings, I thought that was a bit pricey. They mentioned that they make the dumplings in-house rather than buying them pre-made, which might explain the cost. I’ll definitely return for the curry and to explore other menu items, but I’ll skip the dumplings next time since I can get Chinese dumplings at another well-kno...

"This place really helped me adjust. I later learned that people gravitate towards certain bars, and I found my favorites, especially those with live music like Birchmere, Black Cat, 9:30 Club, Lincoln, Capital One Arena, and even the now-closed O'Shaughnessy's and Rock & Roll Hotel. One of my most memorable experiences was running into Rory Sheridan on one of my first visits. He was launching his DC music campaign back then and was part of Loud Boyz. We chatted a few times, and I even caught up with some old classmates. Another highlight was when I heard about a “reunion” night before Thanksgiving, and I decided to crash it. There were moments where people could be unkind or I felt out of place, but I was given some guidance on where I would fit in better, without the unnecessary drama. Being in Old Town, I was familiar with nearby schools like West Potomac, Mount Vernon, and Bishop Ireton. During my visits, I would often take an Alexandria cab or use Metro Access, being discreet about my disability since I felt embarrassed at times. Being a regular meant navigating the tourist scene, and there were people who seemed territorial about the place, but I ended up doing quite well when I sold my house. Good times continued with events like watching RG3 play for the Redskins or meetups organized by JT. I enjoyed New Year’s celebrations and weekend outings. I also frequented other establishments like Flying Fish before it closed, and O'Shaughnessy's before I decided to stop drinking. This is a sports bar located near a bicycle shop, close to the Ben & Jerry's I used to work at, along with many other walkable bars for bar hopping, like Union Street Pub and Fish Market. It can be a great place to have fun, but with the good comes some downsides. Overall, I felt well-hosted and respected here, despite some things I was not initially aware of or didn’t want to uncover."
