    Yum Ma-Muang (Mango Salad)
    Dawn E.

    Finally gave Amina Thai a try for carry out. We got Pad Thai w/ tofu & vegetables, Jungle Curry with beef ( both at 2-star 'medium' spicy), and mango salad. I had a 30 minute drive home and we ate as soon as I arrived. We loved all the dishes. Salad: Ingredients were fresh and not overly-dressed. Salad was red onion, iceberg lettuce, mango, tomatoes, cashews and shredded carrots, dressed in a hot chili dressing. I think this is the first time a salad determined my beverage for the meal (milk). I don't consider the heat to be a negative; I've become a bit of a light-weight when it comes to food heat as my kids will claim and a bit of milk was all it took to enjoy my portion. Pad Thai: ordered ours with Tofu and Vegetables. Tofu was fried up perfectly, veg had just the right amount of crunch. Ordered it 'medium' spicy, we could have handled hotter, now I know for future orders. Jungle Curry: this one intrigued me so it has to be part of the order. Lemongrass, lime leaf and galangal were well-balanced (at least to my tastes, I love lemongrass) and provided a delightfully aromatic flavor profile. This will go on my favorites list while I'm working on a construction project a few doors down. COVID take-out: I do not think they have reopened to indoor diners yet. They have a doorbell outside which I dutifully rang when I arrived. Few minutes early. They quickly answered, took my name and had me verify my name before leaving with my food. Social distancing observed, masks required, masks and gloves worn by staff. Sometimes I find that dishes don't have a great differentiation in restaurants focusing on specific global cuisines. That was certainly not the case here. I will definitely be back!

    Shrimp pad Thai and spring rolls.

    3.5 Stars. I ordered beef pad Thai and spring rolls from here through GrubHub. The food arrived hot and slightly ahead of schedule. The spring rolls were good. Nice and crispy! The pad thai, however, was quite sweet. The beef in it was also tough and a bit overcooked. It tasted okay, but I could only manage to eat a few bites of it because it was just so sweet. I had a question about my order and when I called the restaurant, the staff person was very nice and she quickly and kindly addressed my concern, so points for that as well!

    I'm a huge fan of Thai cuisine. Drunken noodles (extra spicy) is my staple. Earlier today was my first time here. I've honestly never even noticed the place before and I'm sure it's been around awhile. I ordered take-out...only option right now other than delivery due to Covid-19. You can't even go inside. You have to scan the menu, place an order online, pre-pay and they'll text you when it's ready. There's a doorbell and they bring the order to a table outside. If others are waiting, you must maintain at least 6 feet apart distance and be wearing a mask. Kudos for these precautions!! After placing my order, I received a notification letting me know it would be ready in 20 minutes. I went to grab a drink at Silver Strings a few doors down while I waited. Now onto the food... not the best Thai I've had and definitely not the worst, but with soooo many options in the area, this place won't be on the list of places I'd ever be in a hurry to try again. The noodles seemed overcooked and the chicken lacked flavor. I would say the portions are good and the price fair, but if reviewing a food place, ultimately the quality of the food bears weight!!!

    $40 for this?!? This place is a joke.

    $40 for this?! What a joke. Not authentic Thai in any of the dishes ordered. Would not recommend

    Do not go there, had the disrespectful manger. I went to pickup my order , and they had pick ups at the door I couldn't notice as it was my first time so I walk to the front desk and he yelled "stay there , stay there " the way he said it was so disrespectful so please don't go there

    Drunken Noodles Jae

    So so good! Happiest that I finally tried this Thai place. Definitely has been my favorite Thai restaurant so far. We had Drunken Noodles Jae and Spicy Kaprow with Chicken - they were both so delicious! Highly recommend!

    Definitely my favorite Ethiopian restaurant in the area! The meat and two veggie combo is just the…read moreright amount of food for two people and the price is fantastic. I prefer the spicy tibs, but the crispy tibs are also quite good. My favorite side is the lentils and salad. My wife loves the cabbage and carrots. I like adding the extra chicken leg as well. I only wish they had a full chicken meal and some spicier sauces. We come here at least once a month and always enjoy ourselves. It has become quite popular and there are a lot of white customers these days... I hope the food maintains its quality and flavor. The service is always friendly and I like the Ethiopian beer.

    I've been coming here quite a lot lately because the ethio food is not only second to none…read more(especially if you're a meat eater), but the place has pretty decent ambiance as far as your hole-in-the-wall ethio spots go. I always get the veggie combo, and I probably always will. Their tomato lettuce salad is perfection, not an afterthought, and I wouldn't mind if they gave me a whole bowls worth to grab in every bite! I've sampled bits of the meat off my partner's platters, and it far exceeds any we've ever tasted around here from an ethiopian restaurant. Back to the ambiance. I recently brought two good friends here because the space is bright and decent. That said, reservations are a MUST if you are bringing a party of larger than 2, due to how tiny the space is, and for a group, you really need to get spots either by the window or maybe their dark nook in the back. (you'll know when you visit). So so good... I'm not sure I want to go anywhere else at this point for my ethio fix!

    So, it's been a while since my family and I last went out to eat at a restaurant, and we landed on…read morethis one since it was both nearby and the prices reasonable for the fare that they offer. My wife and I had been here for lunch before and had a good experience, so this time we figured why not check it out for dinner? Turns out, it was a great idea. The wait for the food was a bit on the longer end, but to be perfectly fair, we ordered a LOT, so we certainly didn't mind. By the time the food hit the table, we forgot about it almost entirely because the smells of freshly made kitfo, lamb tibs, and this stewed chicken dish whose name I can't remember (but it came with a hardboiled egg!) hit our nose, nothing else mattered. The food was presented in a way that somehow matched the overall vibe of the restaurant, which at this time of night was set to be kinda toned down with dingy lighting and smooth music. Huge call out to my waiter that I curse myself for not getting his name, because he is, simply put, the best server I've ever had at a restaurant. Not only was he timely and discreet about topping off our waters, but also checked in about soft drinks as well, and when he heard my son saying the food was too spicy for him, he took it upon himself to get him something else to eat that wasn't spicy at all, and without myself or my wife asking. If you're looking for a great place to eat with a killer atmosphere and even better service, you've found it.

    I had another destination in mind, but when I saw the sign that said they had indian, nepalese, and…read moreEthiopian food, I stopped in my tracks. It wasn't a platter type of night, but both Indian and Ethiopian cuisines have some great appetizers, so we stopped in after a movie. It was cool to see the breakdown of a vibey bar scene on one side and a sit down area on the other period both sides had the World Cup showing, so there was really no going wrong. The woman who greeted us led us to decide where we wanted to go. According to their hours, they are open until 1AM. We decided to get the stuffed naan basket, sambusas, and chicken momos -- A nice but fairly light spread for the evening. We or later told that they were finished with the naan basket... For an Indian restaurant more than 3 hours before they closed, that was surprising to me... I should have specified whether it was naan in general or just that basket, but still. The other two items came after 25 minutes or so. The sambusas were fried HARD, but had a great flavor. The momos were solid! We had a good time catching up, and they did great keeping water refilled (mostly). It took a while to close out -- they probably thought we were invested in the game and not in a hurry, but it's a weeknight and we were on Metro's time. I am curious about their proper Indian and Ethiopian entrees ... By the way, I saw a mouse right before we left... It was in the back on the dining room side past the tables.

    One of my fondest food memories from Queens was eating at Warung Selasa in the back of Indo Java…read more Dewi's food was always on point, and her sambal was unforgettable. Since Indonesian food isn't easy to find in the DMV, I'm really grateful to have Artha Rini so close to home. The restaurant itself is small, casual, and welcoming, and everyone we interacted with was genuinely friendly. I ordered the Soto Ayam, and it was exactly what I was hoping for--warm, comforting, and flavorful without needing to add much of anything. My wife had the Pecel Lele, which was tasty, though the fish was just a little overcooked. My only other minor complaint is that I wish the portions were a bit larger. One thing to note is that the menu leans pretty heavily on coconut milk, which can be tricky for my wife because she has a sulfite allergy. What really impressed us, though, was Artha herself. She patiently answered all of our questions and even told us that if we call ahead, she'll source the one brand of coconut milk that doesn't contain sulfites so she can prepare dishes my wife can safely enjoy. That level of care and customer service is hard to find these days, and it's more than enough reason for us to keep coming back. We're excited to work our way through the rest of the menu.
