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. read more

Lucky Thai Restaurant - Chicken pad Thai lunch special with potstickers - Thai Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

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! read more

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! read more

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 read more

Lucky Thai Restaurant - Pad See Ew Lunch Tofu - Thai Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

Lucky Thai has incredible food with a lot of taste and flavor. I almost always order drunken noodles or chicken pad Thai and they are both the best dishes that I have had from any Thai restaurant. This is a small family-owned restaurant and they put their heart and soul into the food. I have not found a better Thai restaurant in the tysons area. read more

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 read more

Lucky Thai Restaurant - Pad See Ew - Thai Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

Still closed for dine-in but their take out is amazing! Every restaurant has their specialty and I can hands down say that their Pad See Ew is the best in Northern Virginia. They get that blend of sweet, salty and savory sauce just right and the high heat gives the best little char to the noodles. It's so addicting we always order two, because one is never enough! Another sleeper hit on their menu is the Crying Tiger which is skirt steak with a spicy sauce and sticky rice. It's a total show stopper! I placed an order while I was in their parking lot and got to bring everything home less than 15 minutes later. What a gem! read more

The food was delicious for a great price, and it came out in good time! Especially considering I can with a group of around 20 people. And the customer service was especially nice! The lady that works there gave us some extra food and offered free tea throughout too. Fully recommend!!! read more

I don't usually eat duck, actually I never eat duck but something about these duck rolls here make me leave my comfort zone. My go to is their Satay, Pad SeeEw beef, pad Thai chicken and panang chicken. Small and quiet place but they get very busy. All the food is fresh and flavorful. Currently my favorite Thai spot in northern va. read more

This is a local staple. If you are choosing to eat in the decor is definitely basic but the service is always friendly and attentive. I always find they're particularly nice to children/ families which is so lovely. The food is delicious- especially the duck rolls. I love their panang curry just wish it came with veggies in it as it is a little heavy without. Would recommend!! read more

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. read more

Lucky Thai Restaurant - Thai Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

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! read more

Really surprised with this Thai location. I wasn't expecting it to be incredibly "authentic" considering where it's located. I mean, just a mile down the road in Eden Center you can get a lot of truly delicious Asian food, but on Broad street, I feel like the Asian food might cater more for American taste buds. But Lucky Thai was deeply appreciated on a night where we just wanted great Thai food. We ordered the Larb, Pad Kapow and the red curry. Not only was the portion very generous, but the Thai spicy was actually spicy! Imagine that! The flavors were all great and each dish shined on its own. I wish this place was bigger on the inside and we can finally eat inside. Can't wait to come back. read more

You'll be lucky if you never order delivery from here. I liked the food the first time I had delivery but the second time the food took over an hour PAST the delivery estimate. I had to call to check on my order and the food was cold by the time it finally arrived. It was clearly prepared for the original deivery date and sat (probably in the delivery vehicle) for over an hour. I'll consider going here to eat but I won't waste time or money on delivery from here again. read more

This restaurant is a nice find in Falls Church downtown. First I will say that this is a typical decor but fairly clean. The people are nice, attentive and the food is delivered timely as well as drink refills. Price was was a little cheaper at lunch then dinner, but still very affordable. As for the food, it is awesome. I had the Duck rolls and the Crying Tiger Steak which was savory, tender and cooked very well. I will be coming back for future meals when I am in town. read more

Lucky Thai Restaurant - Crying Tiger Steak - excellent - Thai Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

This is the best Thai restaurant I have ever been to. I had to come here after seeing so many positive reviews. When I came in the place only had a few tables occupied. I was seated quickly and given water. I ordered the Pad See-Ew, as I order from other Thai restaurants. My meal came very quickly and was quite pleased with the look. The noodles had the slight char that makes Pad See-Ew taste good. It included Chinese broccoli, which had a pleasant bitterness to it. I am not kidding when I say this is the best Pad See-Ew I've ever had. I will be back again to try their other dishes. read more

I went here for lunch because I was craving thai food and the food was delicious (I recommend the curry puff appetizers). It's a small establishment and the service is really fast. All around a great pick for thai if you want to support a local business! read more

I normally come to Lucky Thai and get take out but I opted for eating in for dinner. If you are looking for a authentic, discreet, and quiet place to enjoy Thai this is a good choice. The restaurant is Located in the City of Falls Church. Parking is plentiful if you park around the back (across from cvs.) The service is average. I ordered the Thai ice tea which was very good. I also ordered the crispy crab which was one of their specials. It was very delicious. I'm a huge fan of the spicy chili /garlic sauce and I drenched my meal with the dressing. It was pretty empty inside .Yet, i felt kinda rushed during my dining experience. They don't have a full bar. I was advised they have beer and wine. This is more of a casual spot. I'll come back for take out. read more

Located along the main drag of Falls Church City in a strip mall I refer to as "Pan-Asian Row" since it contains a Thai (Lucky Thai), Vietnamese (Pho 88), and Japanese restaurant (Maneki Neko)....Hunan Cafe if you want to add a typical Chinese takeout place found in Anytown, USA, Lucky Thai stands head and shoulders above the pack as the best in class. While all are family friendly and moderately priced, Lucky Thai has definitely been a staple for COVID takeout since not only can I count on timely preparation, meticulous packaging and proper COVID checkout protocols, the food is not watered down in terms of spice level and the flavors are remarkably balanced. The papaya salad, pad see yu, green curry, and duck noodle soup are solid staples. Be sure to tip them well since I hope to see them on the other side when Pan-Asian row emerges from the Pan-demic. read more

We ordered Lucky Thai for takeout and were pleasantly surprised with a fairly decent meal. We ordered the Tiger Steak, Panang chicken, crispy duck, and pad Thai with chicken for two of us and had plenty of leftovers to spare. The pricing and portion sizes were very reasonable compared to other spots in the area. The Duck and steak were tasty but definitely on the spicy side so be prepared for that. The pad Thai was not our favorite so we would probably skip it and try something else next time. Overall, it was a solid meal and a good option for Thai in the falls church area! Glad to have another takeout restaurant to add to our rotation. read more

We had delivery and everyone enjoyed their dinner. The food was delicious!! We will order delivery again. read more

Excellent in every way. . I had a large carryout order. Papaya salad, correct amount of spice and sourness. Green Curry, with seafood, creamy and thick. Pad ma klur, eggplant with pork, yummy. Seafood Pad Thai was perfect, they did not add peanuts as we requested. Basil fried rice with beef so delicious. The best was the Crying tiger steak, so tender, correct amount of spiciness. The quantities are larger than other Thai restaurants. This will now become our go to. read more

Oh man this place is good! My wife and I were in town and just wanted to grab a quick dinner. Didn't know much about this place and expected it to be fine, but it blew us out of the water. We got take out and service was friendly and fast. Got the food home and was impressed by the sizable portions given how reasonably priced it all was. Overall though, what really blew me away was the flavor. This food was f-ing great. Will certainly be back and tempted to get more this week. read more

Food delivered to my front porch. Sat in rain and cold for 30 minutes. No call or text to notify me of delivery.

Lucky Thai has turned into one of our staples during this crazy, self-quarantine, COVID-19 homebound crisis. We love to be able to do support local businesses, and Thai food is like comfort food to my family. Our favorites include the classics: pad thai, pad see ew, panang curry, and tofu tod. Of note: if you order through the Yelp app (via GrubHub), it WILL take a long time. For whatever reason, I've never had delivery arrive in less than an hour via that method. HOWEVER -- if you call and order directly, it will come much faster in my experience. Just something to note! read more

Great Thai we love this place so much. The food is real ethnic and the service is just amazing. Five Stars easily earned for this neighborhood gem. read more

Lucky Thai Restaurant - Crying tiger steak - Thai Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

Excellent in every way - from the positive and helpful staff, the easy and unassuming decor and ambiance, and the delicious, hand-curated food profiles. We had Panang curry - deliciously creamy with A perfectly balanced seasoning and just enough curry for it to be not overwhelming. We had Tom ka gai - more sour than I usually expect but surprisingly comforting and so interestingly flavorful. Also the cashew and chicken dish with peppers and onions in slight brown sauce - simply PERFECT in every way! My boyfriend loved the Thai tea as well. We will be back for sure! read more

This is quaint little Thai restaurant situated in the downtown falls church broad st, across the Harris Teeter. I came here during lunch time and had their lunch special which consisted of your choice of meat (or tofu and veggies), a side (spring roll, soup etc) and entree (pad thai, broccoli veggie dish, friend rice, etc.) I got fried rice with tofu and vegetables and one lone skinny spring roll for $9.95. The fried rice portion was decent, I couldn't finish it all but some of my coworkers didn't have a problem. Service was attentive and fast. We kept getting our waters refilled promptly and checked up on. The food wasn't the best Thai I've had but it wasn't bad either, pretty tasty. Overall a good experience. read more
