    THAI ICED TEA - Different. Reminds me of a melted popsicle and flat Sprite blended with ice. Not bad, but I don't get it. I'm in the area often so I'll definitely return to try the rest of the menu. __ I eat. @f.hux I thrift. @DCthriftish

    Drunken khao soi - one of the best things I have ever eaten
    Patrick G.

    Drop whatever you are doing and go get the drunken khao soi at this place. It's the best thing I've eaten all year as of August! I got it with fried chicken that was perfectly cooked, it's made with stir fried spicy egg noodles (yum!), chili jam, shrimp paste, fried shallot, fresh herbs, and steamed broccoli. It's a big portion too. Ambiance: It's one of the stands at the water park in Crystal City, plenty of tables. Quick service.

    Pad Thai bowl with fried chicken thigh

    This place was formally named Tiki Thai. I asked about the name change and what prompted it, I was informed that it is the same owner, just an updated menu and new name. This business is located in the waterpark at National Landing in Crystal City. I stopped by for lunch today and ordered the pad Thai with fried chicken thigh. My coworker ordered the spring rolls. Once back at the office, we decided to share and try each other's orders. The pad Thai had a different flavor to it and was a little dry, and the chicken was just OK. The spring rolls were almost gummy on the inside and lacked flavor. The portion sizes were reasonable, it was $15 for the pad Thai with chicken, and the spring rolls were $8 for five. Overall, it was just meh, not sure I will return, other than for the fact that it is convenient to the workplace.

    Lots of flavor and quick service, this is a great spot for an easy lunch. I love all the options at the Crystal city water park, including Birds Eye! The portion sizes are also generous and I had enough for leftovers, great spot!

    Came here on opening night of the newly renovated Water Park. Lots of people came so the wait was about 30 minutes. I don't anticipate it being this long once all of the hype dies down. If you don't like waiting around, they do have online ordering for pick up. I tried several food items and overall was a fan: Khan Soi w Crispy Thigh ($17) - Highlight for sure was the crispy chicken thigh pieces. Overall, enjoyed this meal. Noodles were great and went well with the coconut curry. Fresh Mango & Sticky Rice ($10) - Such a staple Thai dessert. Says seasonal so I had to get it and it did not disappoint. Thai Iced Tea ($6.50) - Not super sweet as typical Thai spots serve them. So I give them props for that. Will be back again during my lunch hours and after work now that this whole spot opened up.

    I am so happy that Tiki Thai opened a new location at Water Park. the trek to Reston is worth it but it is something else to have the deliciousness super close by. They have a limited but strong menu here with classics like Khao Soi and Dragon Khao Soi. They also have TO GO coctails which are super STRONG! That little bottle packs a punch! I tried the Mai Thai and wow !! Their spring rolls, thai iced tea and mango sticky rice are super delicious! You can eat outside or they are just now in Uber Eats so you can ordee too! Very friendly staff and definitely will satisfy your cravings!

    Ambiance: (5/5) This is a great area to come to in the spring/summer. There is a lot of seating. Price: (3/5) I think due to portion sizes their appetizers are way overpriced. The entrees and desserts are a decent size. Food: (3/5) I was dosas that the tofu was hardly seasoned, the broccoli had no seasoning and the onions weren't even cooked. I think if all of that was cooked in the same sauce as the noodles, I would have enjoyed it a lot more. The gyoza was good, but nothing out of the ordinary. I did really enjoy the mango sticky rice. It was not too sweet and the mangos were very fresh. Service: (5/5) Food comes out fast.

    Drunken Khao Soi
    Matthew F.

    Not the worst Thai I've had, but quite far from the best or most authentic. Tried the drunken Khao Soi; I see their attempt to make a popular soup/curry into a standalone noodle dish, but... it doesn't work. The vegetables that were present were fresh enough and the noodles flavorful and chewy, but the chicken was mediocre quality, rather dry and flavorless on its own with only a little sauce drizzled over it. Plus, there were no scallions, bean sprouts, and/or egg noodles to add authenticity, and the lack of a curry/coconut based broth is criminal for anything labeled "Khao Soi". Finally, the portion for the price... nope. Value isn't there; I'd recommend going to one of the local Thai restaurants in Crystal City instead of this kiosk if you want a full meal for a similar price. The service was fine, and the Water Park itself is a very pleasant dining venue, but their take on this dish is... pretty awful. They really should go back to the drawing board on this.

    Great food! Awesome portions. It's window service, and you pick a spot outside if you're not taking the food home. All good. The heat lamps were going and the tables were clean. Great experience overall.

    The spring rolls and wings were a good snack. This Thai restaurant is a great add to the neighborhood and is close to the VRE and metro.

    Curry with water feature in background

    The food here is fantastic. I got the tofu wings, thai ice tea, and tofu Panang curry. I was skeptical of the way the tofu wings looked but the sauce to dip in was soooo good. The curry was fantastic and I liked how they put the sauce in separate container so customer could determine how much sauce to put on the food. The ambiance was also very nice with a pretty water feature. The only reason for four stars is because at least five people that ordered after me got their food before me.

    Pickup cocktails are top notch, but expect a hangover- they go down easily. Bbbbbextrachars

    Reynolds is officially my new favorite DC cocktail bar! It's got this moody, low-lit, and velvety…read morelounge vibe that's absolutely perfect for a date night. The seating is incredibly comfortable, making it easy to settle in and enjoy the evening. I ordered the Porn Star Martini, and it was absolutely delicious, with a plant-based foam on top. One of the best cocktails I've had in a while. The drinks are pre-batched, so keep in mind they can't be customized. I also loved that this place feels a little tucked away, like a hidden gem. It's connected to a hotel on the other side of the block. It was crowded on a Tuesday night so you need reservations.

    What a unique spot! I'm in DC for work and was a solo diner. The atmosphere is sultry, intimate and…read morecozy. The service was friendly and warm. I did not feel rushed at all! I ordered their mocktail, the clean slate, and the poutine. The drink was tart, fruity, but also slightly bitter? It was delicious! The poutine was phenomenal. A cheese pull everytime, there wasn't a lack of gravy, and the flavor palette was beyond salt and pepper! The gravy was sweet and savory and the cheese curds were gooey, not rubbery at all. The fries were cut perfectly and didn't overwhelm the dish. There wasn't a perfect ratio of cheese gravy and fries! My only disappointment is there were no matchbooks due to supply chain issues. I understand not their fault, but they look quite cool and I would have loved to add one to my collection. This place is definitely a must if you're ever in DC looking for a high quality, aesthetically pleasing, and delicious cocktail bar!
