    This was such a great little afternoon lunch. The doorway is a bit narrow, so don't bring a stroller or anything large like that because it won't fit through but the staff was so nice trying to get it in. The staff was so prepared and had kid utensils and kid Size stuff for the children I had with me to eat. Service was really quick and delicious. I will say the food was a bit pricey for the area in my opinion and parking could be difficult, but otherwise it's a delicious spot.

    Shrimp Drunken Noodles
    Samina M.

    Lucky Thai is a great spot for solid Thai favorites! My family and I came in to celebrate my sister's birthday and were pleasantly surprised by this local restaurant's cozy vibe. I got the Shrimp Drunken Noodles, a spicy noodle dish with large pieces of carrots, onions, and peppers. It was tasty and had a great spice level. The shrimp were a bit overcooked. I would recommend getting chicken if you plan to go. The service was speedy and very accommodating for our bigger group. Recommend visiting if you are in the area!

    Chicken pad Thai lunch special with potstickers
    Zarin B.

    Stopped in for a quick lunch and decided to try the chicken pad Thai with potstickers lunch special. The pad Thai was so salty and strange, it was as though the chef just poured fish sauce onto it at the very end (there was literally liquid under my noodles). I ate as much as I could but it wasn't very enjoyable. It also didn't have that slightly sweet component that pad Thai sometimes does. The two potstickers that came with my lunch special were good though. The only saving grace in my meal. Sadly, I won't be back.

    Pineapple Fried Rice

    This place is amazing! Walking in, it's clean and organized and the team is quick to say hello with a smile and get you seated. We went on a Thursday evening around 6 so it wasn't too crowded. We ordered an appetizer of spring rolls (comes with 3) and I got the drunken noodles and my partner got the pineapple fried rice. The food was quick to come out, spring rolls first, and then entrees shortly after app was finished. The drunken noodles could have been a tad spicier, so if you like spice ask for some extra spice on the side. The pineapple fried rice was good too. Sweet and savory. Portion sizes are decent for the price too. Definitely going back and trying the curry next!

    Pad See Ew
    Adithi M.

    I'm always on a search to eat Thai food and when I learned about Lucky Thai I had to check it out. We ordered the Pad See Ew with Tofu, Pad Him-Ma-Pan with Tofu and the Panang Curry with Tofu. All the dishes tasted great with my favorite being the pad see ew. The restaurant was pretty empty the day we went and it's definitely a more casual/takeout type restaurant as many people were walking in and getting their orders. The food came out relatively quickly and everyone was so nice! We had a lot of leftovers for the next day and after the flavors set in it tasted even better!

    Pad See Ew Lunch Tofu
    Anne L.

    Came here for lunch on a Saturday and sat at a table outside. Service was very quick, got the pad see ew with tofu. The noodles were perfect! Tofu was a little tough but the dish was still great tasting. Portion size was generous, split it between two people for a light lunch

    Lucky Thai seems to be a Falls Church favorite - we came here for an earlier dinner and ordered: +Duck Rolls - rotie wrappers filled with duck, spring onions, and cucumbers, served with their house hoisin-like sauce; the duck was described on the menu as being 'crispy roasted duck', but it was not crispy at all; the app just seemed to have been served cold, and it was just super chewy +Panang Curry - we opted for the tofu; the curry itself was thick and creamy, which was great; however, it was super bland and tons of crushed peanuts throughout; the fried cubed tofu was generous +Drunken Noodles - we opted for the chicken; the noodles were just way too mushy, and there wasn't not much of that stir-fried taste nor not enough sauce that dressed this dish; this was just bland +Pad Thai - we opted for the shrimp; this was more on the wetter end with the sauce, but it was a bit too vinegar-y and overly sweet at the same time; the noodles could have been cooked less +Thai iced tea - this was tasty and strong Service was very friendly, and the place itself is cute and cozy. There's also some patio seating in the front as well. Free parking in the back; just note that the spaces are marked with the number range of the businesses. I'm glad we were able to check this place out, but most likely wouldn't return. +mediocre Thai items +friendly service +free parking in the rear

    Mango with Sticky Rice

    The food is always fresh, flavorful and imaginative. I am amazed at the distinct flavor blends and quality of the food and service. Rattiya, the owner, makes coming here from Fairfax worth the drive every time. Each visit is an intimate experience. Excited for my next culinary adventure!

    Pad See Ew
    Audrey M.

    Has been a very good reliable and quality local Thai place. Was just in for dinner last night(forgot to take a good pic) and spoke to the chefs wife on the way out. She was so sweet and explained they dont even advertise. Its word of mouth entirely. Will always come back for more Lucky Thai, especially the Pad See Ew!!

    Agrima P.

    Really good food. This place was a staple for me when i lived in the area, and i had the chance to try it again recently. The food never disappoints. I tried the lemongrass tea refresher and really liked it! It's a local fav of mine.

    chicken curry in a black bowl
    Andy Y.

    Local favorite along West Broad street located within a strip mall. With plenty of parking behind the restaurant and seating options for indoor and outdoor. The dishes are delicious with a perfect mixture of spices. At times, a little spicy even for a 3 chili pepper on their scale of spiciness...but still tasty! Even though we order takeout this time, the service is always friendly and quick with a smile. This place is a must visit and bookmarked for us. Enjoy!

    Larb! Thai hot- very yummy

Why bother ordering types of drinks? They have a big jugs of tea and lemonade at the stand. We tried a couple of seasonal menu items. Ordered the ricotta pancakes with peach compote. Usually, the ricotta is baked into the pancakes in the recipes I see. These pancakes were totally dry with a huge wallop of ricotta spread on top with canned peaches on the side. Extremely dry. I had to go to the counter and ask for maple syrup. Still, I would definitely never order this again. The pancakes were not only dry, but also hard. The feta avocado spread with flatbread is spicy. It doesn't say that on the menu. The flatbread is nice, but the spread is a bit too spicy for my taste. At least the staff are friendly. Again, people love this place, I don't. This is the third time I've tried it. I won't be back.

We didn't know how big the portions were since the menu didn't have any pictures. We relied on the photos from yelp or google.

The beef noodle soup was good and clean but I would get the thin noodles next time. The wide noodles weren't as bouncy as I would've liked. I would come back for the cucumber salad and the peking beef wrap. All of our orders came reasonably on time after each other but we were still waiting on the fried pork chop over rice. Time passed as we almost finished with all of our dished until we asked one of the servers if our fried pork chop was coming. The server looked at our receipt order and acknowledged we did order it but told us it was sold out. Not one staff told us it was sold out when we placed the order or even when our other orders came out. We've been waiting this whole time expecting the fried pork chop not knowing it was sold out. We were asked if we wanted something else to replace the order and we decided to get the fried chicken over rice.
