    Spring Rolls
    Lia M.

    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.

    Pad Thai

    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!

    Tom Kha Soup

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Panang Curry (gf)
    Jessica O.

    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).

    Duck noodle bowl
    Jonathan K.

    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.

    Sticky Rice
    Georgia O.

    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.

    Drunken Noodles
    Haniyyah B.

    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.

    The food was so so, kind of disappointed with the chili powder and vinegar both are extra charged. I never get charge with those stuff in any restaurant before.

    Beef noodle bowl
    Seth F.

    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.

    One of my favorite Thai spots in DC! I first discovered three from a Yelp event last year and…read morethey've become a regular rotation ever since. I've ordered takeout, delivery, and dined in and the quality is always good and the food is really tasty. I'm generally not a seafood person but their Tom Yum Seafood soup is legit sooo good. Idk how mama is able to make the squid not chewy but she is a wizard. The chicken Panang curry is my go to. It's got a good little kick to it but is full of flavor. The calamari is also really delicious, the batter is so light and crispy. The pad see ew is also solid, as is the pad Thai. Basically everything I've ever had is delicious because Mama is really cooking up some magic back in the kitchen.

    We came in as walk-ins with no reservation. The staff told us to wait outside for 45 minutes, took…read moreour number, and said they'd call. After walking around for an hour, we came back, but the receptionist informed us that no tables were available yet. Despite the heavy wind, they made us wait outside again. We were finally seated after a total wait of an hour and a half, while some other walk-ins got tables instantly. The terrible service continued inside. The table next to us had ordered 15 minutes before us and was still waiting for their food. It took another 45 minutes for our food to arrive--and that was only because I nudged the staff after 30 minutes of waiting. I've been to many American, European, and Asian restaurants, but none have ever been this slow. Price-wise, the portions were small and the flavor fell short compared to standard Thai restaurants. My husband and I had Pad Thai, seafood Tom Yum, and a platter of boiled vegetables with spicy dipping sauce and sticky rice. The vegetables were overcooked. The Tom Yum cost $30 for a small bowl that could barely feed one person (usually enough for two elsewhere), and it tasted like clam soup with zero lime leaf aroma. The tofu in the Pad Thai was bone-dry and crumbly. To top it all off, the restroom floor was soaking wet due to a leak. On top of that, the restroom was not only soaking wet but also inexplicably freezing, making me feel like I was using the toilet in the middle of a windy ocean. Will definitely not be back.

We had major indecision because there's SO many things on the menu we wanted to try but ended up getting: Naem khao: 4/5 probably better with the sour pork, but loved how fresh this was. It was a large portion too, so we got kind of full from finishing it before our mains even arrived. Shrimp pad see ew: 5/5 the best pad see ew I've had in the DMV. So much wok fire flavor. You can really taste the caramelization. And the large shrimp were velveted which was made it extra satisfying to eat. Also a good shareable portion size! Muu Som: 4/5 this was super rich and heavy. Would get this again only to share with a larger group. Loved that it came with sticky rice. Mango sticky rice: 4/5 delicious but in my opinion didn't need the ice cream on top (my boyfriend thinks otherwise though). Very large portion as well. The cocktails were a little pricy ($15) for what they were but I did love the tamarind margarita. Just wish it was a larger drink or a smaller price tag. Service was very attentive!

I actually intended to try out the Trini Vybez restaurant next door, but discovered they're closed but their signage is still up. Anyways, I got a seat at the bar for myself and service was great. I was a bit indecisive as the menu is pretty extensive, and I've never eaten Laotian food before. Luckily, it was happy hour, so I was able to sample a couple of their appetizers and their daiquiri which was quite strong. I had the Tam Sum, papaya salad and that was very good with a hint of spice and lime. Then, I also had Chuenh Peek Gai, which was tamarind glazed wings. Omg they were savory and crispy! I loved these. For the entree, the bartender recommended some great options, but I finally settled on Kee Mao, which is flattened rice noodles with stir fry beef and vegetables. It was also a very savory dish, with a sweetness to it. Laotian food is very similar to Thai food and I love Thai food. I will not sleep on this restaurant and will be back soon!!

Corn coated in a thin layer of tempura batter, fried until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, showcasing its natural sweetness and slightly chewy texture. It was somewhat like a Chinese yumi-lao玉米烙 but more moist. The most surprising thing was that despite being entirely vegetarian food, it has the sweetness and meaty texture of fried shrimp paste. The sweet and sour sauce is similar to the Thai sweet chili sauce commonly found in China, but thinner. Served in a small cup, it looked like a cup of black tea, making it more refreshing. Grilled Pork Neck: Very different from pork neck in Chinese Thai cuisine; it's more like Cantonese char-siu叉燒. The pork neck was very well marinated and grilled to a very tender perfection, with a rich and smooth honey aroma, and a subtle wine aftertaste, but it was slightly too sweet for me. Nam Jin Jaew was primarily composed of the tangy kick of lime and the savory saltiness of fish sauce, complemented by the mild spiciness of bird's eye chili, the special fragrance of cilantro, and the sweetness of palm sugar, with a subtle hint of smokiness. It was refreshing on the whole, and incredibly layered - I fell in love with it instantly. Tom Saab Soup: It looked light, but it was surprisingly spicy and sour! The ribs were very fresh, all marbled with fat and lean meat, stewed until incredibly tender, allowing you to taste the natural aroma of the meat. The sourness was subtle, clear, and mild, with a base of lemongrass fragrance that added even more depth. My friend thoughtfully ordered it mildly spicy, but in the end, it just felt like it lacked a kick. Mango Sticky Rice: The best mango sticky rice I've ever had! The sticky rice was cooked to perfect texture and warmth, absorbing the coconut milk flawlessly - neither too watery nor too dry. The first taste was the fragrance of glutinous rice, followed by the sweetness of coconut milk, and a refreshing, slightly tart mango to cut through the richness. Thai Iced Tea: Too much condensed milk, excessively sweet. My friend said it was much sweeter than the last time she had it. Was this a change in the recipe, or did the quality control need improvement? Donsak is a district in Surat Thani, Thailand, and also the hometown of the restaurant's co-owner and manager, Boom, where she was born and raised. The restaurant's introduction states: "When she left for the US, Boom didn't know she wouldn't get to see her home again for many years - and she still hasn't. Donsak is a way around that." No wonder what truly touches the heart, is indeed the taste of love and home.

That said, I was very happy with my this random result. Upon entering the restaurant, I thought the host/bartender/server was super nice and very friendly. For my dining pleasure, I went with the drunken noodles with chicken. While the meal was pretty tasty, I thought the portion size was a bit small compared to the same dish that I've had at other Thai places in the area. While the portion size was a bit smaller for this dish, I did think the prices in general were pretty reasonable compared to other spots in the area. Interestingly enough, I did place an order to go for my family, and the portions for those dishes were pretty standard. One thing that I have to recommend: the chicken wings with the chili sauce. I'll say that the sweet chili sauce was out of this world amazing. The Regent really should bottle this sauce and sell it, because I would totally use this sauce in my everyday cooking. Actually, I probably appreciated the sweet chili sauce more than the chicken wings. ;) Overall, I cannot really complain about my experience at The Regent.
