Absolute Thai - Washington

Avoid the crispy duck. It's very thick cut and batter fried, yet the sauce is thin. Appetizer and drinks are standard, portion is large. Overall not recommended at this price range.

Stumbled on this place because we were in the area. The basil fried rice was delicious, and as a vegan it seems there are definitely options because she said the Pad Thai doesn’t have fish sauce. Service was very attentive and friendly.

Delicious food and inviting atmosphere! The friendly staff created a homely feel, always ready to chat and make friends. Outstanding service, especially from Myer!

I like trying Tom Kah soups of Thai restaurants to understand their seasoning. Overall, their seasoning is fine, just think they might overdo a couple of things. My dishes were fine but not fantastic. It is a solid spot if you are in the area. Service was fast and friendly, prices were reasonable. I wanted a hot tea and even though they didn't have the one I wanted they hooked me up with a nicer one!

Absolute Thai is the perfect spot for anyone attending an event at Capitol One Arena, Shakespeare Theatre Company or Woolley Mammoth Theater Company as it is closeby. It is one of the few eateries in Chinatown that is truly wheelchair accessible. There is no accessible door button but the staff did help open the double doors and there is a ramp to enter. There is a table for 4 and table for 2 with removeable chairs on one side and a booth on the other. The restrooms are wheelchair accessible as well. All the food and drink was delicious! I would highly recommend it!
