Thai Pad - Washington DC

Great neighborhood restaurant if you are craving Thai food. We sat outside because the weather was so nice. Service with a smile. I ordered the Spring Rolls with beet root and tofu to start and finished my meal with ground chicken larb. The dishes were flavorful. My husband ordered a curry dish with rice and he prefers his curry to be spicy, so he asked for the condiments. Seating outdoors in front on the street, or inside the restaurant or order TO GO as I saw many

The service was good. The food was really good. Had lunch here on a weekday; food came out very fast. Everything was hot and tasteful. The drink was ok, little watery but still good. For desert I tried the mango rice, my first time having this and it was surprisingly good.

This neighborhood restaurant has a cozy country Thai feeling. Presentations are simple but the food is delicious. One must ask for Thai spicy . Otherwise you will get the food in American mild heat. Try the crispy duck and mango salad. There is a small bar and the restaurant has a good selection of wine and beers for such a small restaurant. Good location with easy walk from Van Ness Metro. The portions at the restaurant are more than what one gets delivered online.

I am so excited about this place. I have been looking for another great pad Thai spot and this might be it! The spices, vegetables and tofu were SO delicious. It was very authentic tasting and wasn?t overly expensive. I loved the lime that came with it, it enhanced the overall taste quite a bit. I?m definitely ordering from here again!

On a positive note, the Thai iced tea was cold and refreshing, and nicely served in a ceramic mason jar. The lunch portions of Thai fried rice and pad thai noodles were each served with choice of meat, a salad and an egg roll. The meals were filling, although the beef and chicken could've used some more flavor.
