Stopped in at the last minute to support this neighborhood gem with a friend who lives just a block away. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. We were both surprised to see the restaurant completely full on a Wednesday evening -- which truly speaks volumes about its popularity and quality. I had a minor issue with my dish, but I later realized I could have asked for the meat to be cooked to my preference. That was on me. Kudos to the entire team for being super accommodating and creating such a warm, inviting atmosphere. read more

The service was so kind and we walked in without needing a reservation with no wait. Food was quick to order and came out fast with so much flavor! We got the fried tilapia (10/10 flavor was powerful but not overpowering), papaya salad (9/10 great freshness to balance our meal), drunken noodles with chicken (8/10 I've had more flavorful drunken noodles but this was still great). The Thai tea was bombbbb that's a must. I would come again and try the rest of their menu (it's vast). Inside the vibes were so homey and a great place to talk w a friend, it can get loud tho but I don't mind read more

I enjoyed the flavors and spice level in the red curry with chicken. I will say that I did find the vegetables in the curry to be a bit tough to chew at times, but overall I did enjoy my meal. The servers were attentive and the restaurant was in a nice location with proximity to other food spots and shops in the Mount Pleasant neighborhood. read more

Loved this delicious spot in Mt. Pleasant-- it's so much fun the way it's decorated for Pride! We had wonderful service. I got the boozey Frozen Thai Tea! Yummmm! You won't be disappointed! My friend and I tried the Thai empanadas. Yummy. The sauce was super sweet which my friend enjoyed. I just only wanted a tiny bit of it. I had the green curry with chicken. Delicious. Ate all of it. My friend enjoyed the pork belly. I would definitely come back or try ordering out from here. :) read more

We ordered Doordash craving some thai and Beau Thai did not disappoint! I tried the beau thai chicken which was sweet, garlicky and just the right amount of spice. We also split the mango sticky rice which was super unique - almost mochi like sticky rice! Everything was delicious but a bit pricy for the portion. My cousin ordered the pad se ew which was a typical takeout portion but I felt mine was a lot smaller for the price. I'd definitely return to try some more in the restaurant! read more

When you can smell fragrant deliciousness before you've walked on the door, you know it is going to be good. Staff was very friendly. I ordered pad see ew, which is my favorite, and it was delicious. Our spring rolls were so, so good. The spicy tray didn't have the chilies I wanted, but the ones they did have were fine. It was bustling even on a Tuesday. I look forward to returning. read more

We have been wanting to try Beau Thai and I'm glad we finally did because we really enjoyed it! We ordered for delivery and honestly the food was really good! We ordered the pad Thai, pork belly, Brussels sprouts and larb gai! The pork belly was cooked to perfection and super tender and flavorful! The larb gai was spicy but not overwhelming and the sauce it was in was delicious! The seasonal Brussels were my absolute favorite! They had that crispy char to them and that sauce it was cooked in was phenomenal! I hope this becomes a regular menu item! The reason I am giving 4 stars is because of the pad Thai! While it was good it lacked any type of spice and in my opinion was extremely sweet! Would be great if they allowed for an option to up the ante on the spice a bit. Overall, the service was quick as the food was still hot when it arrived and I am adding it to my rotation of Thai restaurants! read more

I've been a long-time fan of the Beau Thai location in Shaw, and their Mount Pleasant outpost is just as delightful. I visited this location for a Thursday night dinner with a few friends, and we had a wonderful time. There were quite a few other parties there, but the space is quite large so it didn't feel overly crowded or loud. The service is remarkably efficient, so you can usually start eating within 15 minutes of ordering. We enjoyed a delicious spread including the yellow curry, pad see ew, and drunken noodles, all with either tofu or shrimp. The food was all phenomenal, with just the right mix of salty, sweet, acidic, and spicy. The yellow curry was a bit on the sweeter side, making it a great choice for those who prefer a bit less spice. The proteins were cooked beautifully; the shrimp was juicy and sweet, with a slight snap, and the tofu was perfectly fried and acted as a great flavor sponge, especially in the curry. My favorite will forever be their drunken noodles, but it was all outstanding. read more

We dined in at beau thai while we were spending a weekend in Washington DC. This is a great spot in the Mount Pleasant neighborhood. They have a full menu offering a variety of Thai dishes and sides. The food was delicious we got a couple of entrees and a side to share between us. The soup that we ordered was the Tom kha soup served in coconut milk, chicken, and mushrooms. This was really delicious and had a lot of different flavors in this soup. I also got the chicken fried and Brussels sprouts both were delicious as well. If I had to say to get anything it would be the Tom kha soup it was truly unique and is something that isn't being served at all Thai spots. Service was great and definitely a spot I would go back to again. read more

A DC institution, I dream about their duck rolls. As of November 2025, they are offering an incredible deal on Wednesday nights for dine in- 2 apps, 2 entrees, 1 bottle of wine, and one dessert for $68 pre-tax/tip. It's a great deal. We split it with three people and added one entree. All said and done with tip with was $38 a person. Great deal! They are very friendly and the food is always excellent. Glad to see them always busy. I prefer the MT. Pleasant location to the Shaw location read more

I like Beau Thai! The food is consistently good. While I typically visit the Shaw location, I decided to have dinner here with a friend who lives in the area. We were able to walk in and get a table on the weekend at prime dinner time with no problem. The restaurant itself is spacious, casual, and charming. I ordered the Pad Thai, which was well-prepared and flavorful, while my friend had the Duck Noodle Bowl, which looked delicious. I also appreciate that they offer different noodle options to suit personal preferences. For our appetizer, we shared the Steamed Dumplings, which were a solid choice. Everything was reasonably priced, and the experience was enjoyable. read more

Fabulous Thai cuisine. It is a little on the pricier side and I think the portions could be a tad larger, but I've really enjoyed everything I've had here. The curry is very flavorful and well made. read more

Best Thai food in the area !! Have tried many spots in dc and this plays always hits. Pad Thai + Panang curry is soooo good

Food tasted really great! If I could, I would give the restaurant an overall 3.5 out of 5 stars simply because I feel like the prices could be a bit cheaper. However, all food dishes were really well spiced with the Udon Curry being the standout with how flavorful the curry was. Their cocktails were strong but tasted as well. We sat outdoors, but the service was still prompt and the weather made it very suitable! read more

This is my second visit to the Mt. Pleasant Beau Thai, and I sure had a pleasant time!!! I came in a group of 10 after church on Sunday at 2pm, the kitchen closes at 3p, but we were able to stay past the kitchen time in the dining area to chat. There is outdoor seating but the summer heat/humidity has been rising, so indoor seating seemed more ... pleasant. There was plenty of seating at that time of day without reservations (and it was Father's Day). The bathroom is clean and well-stocked, high-ceilings, modern-looking backsplash where there is a bar, and some urban industrial looking pipes should you turn your gaze upward. There were some cool looking lights too. The service was prompt and the people were nice. They helped arrange for all of us to sit together and food came out pretty fast for how big of a group we are! I got the panang curry, which I have had in the past, but my first time getting it here. It was so flavorful and I ate it so happily. I got to try my friend's drunken noodles - spicy (he said he ate a jalapeno and it took a little bit to regroup himself so the spice is not to be taken lightly!!). I've had their Udom curry (variation of panang curry) with pork in the past (a few months ago) and it's STILL very good. I wonder if they ground their own spices and make their curry pastes fresh here - bc the flavors are just bolder and more fragrant than store-bought pre-made curry pastes. I'd totally come back to try their other curries (and maybe just ask them this next time too!) Don't be fooled - it may not look like it's a lot of food but it does fill you up (the curries at least)!!! In conclusion, I highly recommend coming to eat here. It's not cheap, but it's DC price average. Expect 20-30 per person (more if you get drinks/more apps). read more

Great hole in the wall Thai restaurant. I got the duck noodle bowl. It was a very hearty meal. Duck was tender, noodle was tasty, and broth was aromatic. Only thing for me was that the broth was a little too salty, so I couldn't really drink it, which was such a shame. For some reason, they also ran out of dessert when we ate there. They did not have mango with sticky rice. They didn't even have ice cream! Overall, fantastic meal, but wish that the ending would have been better. read more

Finally went to Beau Thai brunch and it was a hit! The mimosas are delicious- perfect ratio of OJ to Prosecco and they have a carafe option too. The kanom krok appetizer was so tasty- warm and sweet. I enjoyed the OMG Chicken- delicious chicken and sticky rice, beware the sauce it comes with is spicyyyy. My friend had the hangover special- their favorite- and it looked equally as appetizing. Friendly and attentive staff- our server was the best :) I love their outdoor seating- they have tables in the sun and in a covered area, both enjoyable on a nice day to people-watch the bustling neighborhood activity. The entrance is wheelchair accessible. read more

I actually went for dine-in, and we were one of the only tables. They greeted me with hand sanitizer, and had us complete a sign in sheet for contact tracing. Everyone was wearing masks. Ordered the veggie spring rolls, and they were crispy but not filled with too much flavor or vegetables so the sauce was needed to give it a little more taste. I typically enjoy Thai cuisine, and always order the drunken noodles with no bell peppers and a medium spicy levels. The food was so spicy that it was almost unbearable. I needed more water refills than usual, and the waiter regularly checked on us so it was fine. read more

A really fantastic Thai place right in the heart of Mt. Pleasant. I haven't been to the Shaw location but I assume they're similar in quality and menu. For my personal palate, it doesn't have as many options for me as other Thai restaurants in the area, but what I can/do eat is great. The food is always so fresh and inventive and perfectly seasoned and spiced. It is a bit on the pricier side, so keep that in mind when you're choosing what to order. The inside is cool with lower lights and an upscale feel, and the outside tables have primo people watching potential. read more

I prowled into Beau Thai after a long afternoon of strolling on the nicest February day. Immediately affronted by the most tantalizing aroma of boiling broths and noodles, Beau Thai certainly makes an entrance. And the affront by these odors is not the extent of goodness leeching from this venue--you will also find very good food at somewhat reasonable prices. And the bathrooms are nice. Many of my four (4) stars are attributed to the food. I had a BEEF NOODLE BOWL that was good. Deeply juicy and steamy, although perhaps not the most flavorful of all BEEF NOODLE BOWLS that I've swallowed in my time. I ultimately added some chili sauce to spice the broth up a bit, which was a fine decision, although the beefy broth remained perhaps not the most flavorful of all BEEF NOODLE BOWLS that I've swallowed in my time. Now. I will say, I made a mistake. It's not the gravest of errors--I've done worse--but was no negligible deed either: given the option to select nood thiqueness, I requested the thiquest of the nood options available. Let me tell you, the thiquest of noods is NOT the BEST NOOD for a BEEF NOODLE BOWL. Stick with medium or skinny and you will find yourself much happier! And the remaining morsel of star we can attribute to the service and ambience of this fine establishment. The service was speedy, staff was pleasant. And the ambience was somewhat trendy too, but still titillating to a wide variety of audiences, from the grandparents taking out their grandchildren to a Fine Dining Experience to the Young Love couple on their second date. It is good to know, they tell me, that trendiness is vaguely accessible to The Masses. So, with this I come to the finish of a fine dining and writing experience. All in all, I would recommend Beau Thai as your next Columbia Heights Thai restaurant. BUT! Maybe don't get one of the brothy NOODLE BOWLS. read more

I've been coming to this place for four year now and it has never disappointed me! The food is always great, it's not very expensive and the staff is extremely kind and helpful. I love getting their crispy tofu (as you can see from how many times it's featured in my pictures lol) and I think it's one of the best starters out there. As a main meal I normally get ramen (either vegetarian or beef) and the food is amazing! It's a great place to come with friends when exploring Columbia heights! read more

We came here on a whim. It wasn't busy at all but service was a little slow. Maybe we were just hungry though. Anyway, food wise it was ok. I do recommend getting the pork belly appetizer and the duck rolls. We ordered the pad see ew, the green curry and the pineapple fried rice. It was all ok to be honest. All the main dishes were flavorful but nothing really stood out. Anyway, definitely worth a shot though! Give it a try and let me know what you think! read more

I've never actually eaten at the restaurant so unfortunately, I cannot comment too much on the quality of service or ambience, but we always get takeout from this place and the food has always been very good. You can very much tell that all the ingredients are super fresh. I will say that some of the dishes do tend to be on the spicier side, and I feel like I have a high spice tolerance. My favorite dish here is the Tom yum soup. It is always perfect. Super fresh and flavorful! read more

Came here on Sunday for lunch with a big group and there wasn't a wait. They have a separate brunch menu but the regular menu was also available. The beef noodle soup was delicious with big, tender chunks of beef flank in a very flavorful soy sauce based broth. You can choose from thin, medium, or thick rice noodles. read more

Ordered take out from this restaurant because my friends and I were craving Thai food. Delivery was free and surprisingly quick! Food arrived hot and in about 30 mins. The tom kha soup was delicious - good lemongrass flavor with appropriate amount of chicken and mushrooms. Pad see ew is one of my favorite Thai dishes and this did not disappoint - it was great! Crab fried rice was also yummy but it could have had more crab in it. My only criticism would be both entrees were a bit oily but that was probably necessary it keep from sticking to the wok. Overall, 4.5 stars and a great place to eat Thai food! read more

Great food, friendly, responsive staff. Our favorite place for carry out and when we have guests in town.

I ordered the Pad See Ew, the wonton soup, and the Thai sweet tea. It was delicious the wonton soup was nice and flavorful. The Pad See Ew was nicely seasoned and had a good ratio of vegetables and meat to noodles. The sweet tea was very sweet but not overly sweet, so it was perfect.

Every good human needs a go to Thai restaurant, this is mine. During Covid19, we've all developed new routines we feel safe in. Beau Thai has consistently impressed me with their service and safety and has become a part of my routine. They are socially distanced and have many healthy options that make it easy place to constantly crave and feel good after eating. Over the weeks, these are my staples (all mentioned is ordered vegan): Pad King - A nice light sauce and great for mushroom lovers! Crispy Tofu - This is either good or great depending on the preparation, sometimes layer of sesame seeds is so thick that it fails to fry or cook fully. Still yummy and unique, the tamarind sauce is great. Mango Sticky Rice - *insider hint* if you call, they have dessert and some dishes not available through online ordering (and it's cheaper for you and the restaurant gets more of the profit). This is my favorite dessert in the world and they do it well. Other good things: Pad Pik King, Pad Thai, Drunken Noodles Other OK things: Green Salad & Grilled Vegetable Salad read more
