    Thai Tea
    Menghai T.

    I got the beef drunken noodle ($16) and Thai tea ($5). The tea was quite good and refreshing on a hot day. The drunken noodles came out in about 10 minutes and was cooked fresh. It could've been more spicer and a little more salty. But because of that it wasn't super oily and greasy like other spot. Staff were very friendly. Overall it was a good experience and I'd come back again! Food(50%): 7.4 Staff/service(25%): 8.0 Value(25%): 7.0 Overall: 7.5/10

    Just pick up food real quick, did't pay attention to any details in the restaurant. I can say only taste of food, just alright, nothing special.

    Great Thai food, and friendly service, in a pleasant cozy environment! Still in my quest to find the best Pad See-Ew of Northern Virginia, this one is a top contender. The noodles were soft, with a layer of sauce cooked to crispy-like feel, if this makes sense. I did ask for number one spiciness, it felt like 3-4, but that's only me. I also tried their Garlic Cilantro eggplant, and substituted beef to shrimp; it was a little too salty, and the sauce too thin. I will definitely go back for another Pad See-Ew, and probably try their sticky rice dessert.

    Mum Aroi became my top 2 favorite Thai restaurants in the DMV. We stopped by a few minutes after opening on Saturday ready to eat. After perusing through the menu, we noticed the extremely affordable pricing of all the items where most of them were under $20??? In this day and age, that's crazy. STIR-FRIED BABY CLAM WITH CHILI PASTE - 18 This was definitely my favorite dish out of the four. There was a generous amount of clams, each one soaked up a good amount of the rich black bean and garlic sauce, which really elevated their sweet and tender flavors. I even drizzled some of the sauce over the rice that we got on the side. The only issue we encountered was that a few of the clams weren't thoroughly washed, leaving some residual shell fragments. DRUNKEN NOODLE (PAD KEE MAO) - 13 They didn't use much dark soy sauce to add a deeper brown coloring for the drunken noodles, so the color of the dish ended up lighter than what we're used to. However, the flavor was spot on. The basil sauce was lightly spiced from the red chili bits, giving the dish a perfect balance of sweet and savory. The basil added a subtle, earthy note. KHAO NIAOW MOO PING - 12 Each order comes with four long skewers of Thai BBQ pork, accompanied by a tangy sauce on the side and served with sticky rice in a bamboo basket. The moo ping was incredibly juicy, flavorful, and tender. The marinade was on the sweeter side with some umami from the fish sauce. They were perfectly grilled and went well with the sticky rice. Absolutely delicious, this was a close second for me. TOM YUM NOODLES SOUP - 15 Tom yum noodle soup is a classic that we had to get. The noodles were on the softer side and soaked up the savory, sour broth nicely. There was plenty of minced pork, fish balls, and green onions for toppings. While it was good and warmed us up, I didn't think it was anything out of the ordinary. The three of us ate until we were stuffed and still had leftovers. After tax and tip, I think we paid less than $25 per person. I would definitely come back to order the stir-fried clams and moo ping again. I also would love to try their boat noodle soup, crispy duck basil, and crispy flounder fish.

    Ordered takeout delivery of fried chive dumplings, sun dried beef, and Pad Thai Noodles with shrimp. Chive dumplings were a bit gelatinous. I thought they were ok. But then I put them in the air fryer two days later and they were awesome. I get it now. Dipping sauce was perfect. I would order it again but air fry to crisp it back up. The beef, as other Yelpers noted, was the best. The flavor was incredible. The portion was generous. This is a must get dish. I skipped the sauce and ate them "plain". They are not plain The Pad Thai, the dish all Thai restaurants will be judged, was deemed to be worthy. Very, very good! Packaging was great too. Would order out again but would also like to try this restaurant "in person"!

    Ambiance 4.5/5 The inside is very bright from both the natural light from the entrance and all the lighting fixtures around the place. There are a lot of tables with seating on two floors. There is a little bar area with a wide alcohol selection. There are a lot of very interesting Thai decorations that add a lot of color and personality to the restaurant. Service 4/5 The waitress was very nice and attentive. She explained some of the dishes to us. There weren't a lot of people so she checked on us often. The food was brought out hot and quick. Tom Yum Soup - Chicken ($7) 4/5 The soup was nice and sour with a bit of heat, but wasn't too spicy. The chicken and mushrooms were chewy and the green onions and cilantro added a bit of crunch. Really enjoyed this soup and was a nice appetizer before eating my entree. Pad Thai - Chicken ($13) 4/5 The Pad Thai was tasty and filling. The chicken and tofu were firm and chewy. The bean sprouts were so fresh. The crushed peanuts added a nice crunchy texture to the mix. The noodles had a slightly sweet and peanutty flavor and was nice and chewy. Would definitely order this again. Mango Sticky Rice ($7) 3.5/5 The mango sticky rice was a nice treat to finish the meal. It was warm and the rice slightly salty. The coconut cream added some sweetness and gave the rice and mango some creaminess. The mango was a bit too soft for me but still good and sweet. The dish is a little small for the price but still a decent dessert.

    Chicken Sate w/fresh peanut sauce. So good.
    Tammy L.

    Second time here- solid place, food's good. The peanut sauce for the Chicken Satay was delicious. Khao Soi was on the thicker side, highly recommend the Boat Noodles.

    Yes yes yes. Brought mom here for her birthday because she loves Thai food and we wanted something close by and the pictures proved our choice right! We chose to order some items to share so we could try more things. The best thing we ordered was the sun dried beef but everything we ordered was super flavorful and tasty. The meats were all tender! You can't go wrong with anything you order here. The restaurant had really cute decor for pictures! Service was quick and we hardly waited anytime after ordering. Forgot to take a picture of the mango and sticky rice because we ate it so fast! If you're in the area, you must stop by - you won't regret it!

    We were big fans of Rabieng and found out it was closed early summer. The Thai restaurant is now Mum Aroi, offering similar thai street food dishes. It was great to see that the restaurant was renovated. The lighting, the fixtures, the decorations all look new and modern. Service was awesome. We had a 10 month old and 4 staff came out to help with the high chair - it is a small restaurant and a high chair could occupy most of the hallway. The two waitresses were nice enough to play with my impatient baby. Duck noodle soup was my favorite dish in Rabieng. The broth was great at Mum Aroi, but it was a very small bowl for $15. Fried calamari was subpar, it tasted like microwaved calamari. The catfish salad was tasty but small for the price. Lastly my husband ordered a pineapple fried rice and he thought it was ok. I was still hungry after dinner and we went to the Thai grocery next door. They have a separate to go menu - I ended up ordering a $12 Hainanese chicken to go. After eating that, I felt full. Overall, they have a big menu and the price looks attractive but keep in mind they are relative to the food portion. We will still come again to try out other dishes.

    I came here forgetting that Rabieng had closed down recently. I was relieved to see that Mum Aroi, a Thai restaurant, is now located here. The service here is fine, and the staff are friendly and very helpful. It hasn't changed much in atmosphere. I ordered the spring rolls as appetizers, and they tasted fresh and piping hot: the way I like 'em. You receive three. For the entree, I picked the crispy duck basil as one of their specialties. This is a typical favorite whenever I see it on the menu. Crispy? Yes. Basil? Yes. As for spicy, I was expecting medium spicy, but it was more like a light spicy, and yet the duck was crunchy, moist and flavorful I definitely wanted to leave the restaurant with a sweet note/taste. So I got their coconut ice cream with nuts on top. It was a nice ending to the meal experience, although it was a bit smaller than expected. I hope to try more stuff in the future. 3.75 stars out 5 stars

    Tom Yum Soup

    I love coming here for lunch. It looks very small and unassuming outside, but there is plenty of space. In addition to the front dining area, there is some loft space as well. The servers are friendly and always ensure that you are enjoying the food. Lastly, the food is great for a good value. I love Thai food and think this is one of the best in the area. Calamari was sooo crispy. Drunken noodle flavor is what keeps me coming back.

    Skinny marg and ice creams
    Dona P.

    This is the REAL DEAL!! Not overly fishy / not cloyingly sweet / not artificially flavored / not at all oily !! Fresh authentic flavors with wholesome ingredients made with love !! We asked the thai massage place down the street where to go, and I realized I had this saved on my Yelp bookmarks, so it was a thai inspired evening !! The Tom Yum soup / papaya salad / seafood story fry were phenomenal! They made me a skinny margarita that I asked for more sour and spicy vs sweet and it HIT!! I am so impressed that even the cocktail was perfectly balanced. Adorably appointed interior that's cozy and welcoming ! The veggie pad thai was also delicious . The coconut ice cream and thai ice tea ice cream were also shockingly authentic and light - just wonderful!

Something is very off with the (lack of) protein quality at the Falls Church location. The head-on shrimp were smallish - some were 21-25 count, some were 26-30 count, and all had an off-putting *green* poop line. The clams were inedible and tiny. Half of the clams were missing from their shells. They shouldn't be sold. When I showed the poor quality of the clams to the server, they offered a 20% discount - clearly they don't get it. What keeps me loyal to the brand is their signature Hot N Juicy Special sauce (mod: extra garlic). No other Viet Cajun (even in Houston or wherever) comes close to the depth and complexity of the Hot N Juicy Special sauce. For now, the winning move is to order a some sausage in a cup with Hot N Juicy Special medium sauce w/extra garlic TO GO, and sautée it with a bag of defrosted Costco head-on 16-20 count shrimp, or a few dozen live Cherrystone clams from HMart. There is so much potential here. The sauce is boss. Solve your protein problem!

I told him that says suggestions not required and that I could give him 0 tip. He proceeds to make a huge scene about the 2 extra bucks I need to pay. I finally cave because my friends were very very uncomfortable. As we leave my friend said the guy was a talking shit in Vietnamese to his employees about us.

    About three weeks ago, I left a 5-star review for Hook & Reel Cajun Seafood & Bar because, until…read morerecently, it had become one of my family's go-to seafood spots due to its convenience and generally good food. Before that, our preferred restaurant had always been Crazy Crab, where we consistently had excellent experiences. Unfortunately, after today, I will not be returning to Hook & Reel. I brought family members who had just driven in from Massachusetts and planned to treat them to dinner. There were four of us dining, and while three planned to order the All-You-Can-Eat option, one person preferred ordering directly from the regular menu. After we had already ordered drinks, we were informed by the manager, Vivian, that either everyone at the table had to order All-You-Can-Eat, or everyone had to order from the regular menu. There was no flexibility, no customer consideration, and no appreciation shown for the fact that we are repeat customers who have spent a significant amount of money there over time. In fact, several friends and members of our church began dining there based on our recommendation. What was most disappointing was not simply the policy itself, but the way the situation was handled. We were made to feel as though the restaurant viewed us as people trying to "game the system" over a few shrimp or crab legs, rather than loyal customers bringing business and referrals into the establishment. To make matters worse, this was communicated only after our drink orders had already been placed. Rather than create a scene, we simply paid for our drinks and left. We immediately went to Crazy Crab, where the experience could not have been more different. Staff members remembered us even though it had been months since our last visit. We were welcomed warmly, treated with dignity and respect, and received exceptional service from beginning to end. We gladly spent over $230 there instead. As a retired Army veteran, retired federal executive, business owner, and someone who frequently hosts family, friends, church members, and professional guests at restaurants, customer experience matters greatly to me. One poor interaction can cost a business far more than a single table. It can impact repeat business, referrals, community reputation, and future opportunities. From a business perspective, this experience should concern ownership. In today's economy, restaurants do not simply compete on food -- they compete on customer experience, relationships, and reputation. One inflexible interaction from management did not just lose a single dinner sale; it likely lost repeat visits, family gatherings, business meals, church referrals, and positive word-of-mouth within the local community. Strong businesses empower managers to protect both policy and customer relationships. Unfortunately, in this situation, customer loyalty and hospitality were sacrificed over what appeared to be concern about one person potentially sharing food. That decision ultimately cost the restaurant far more than it protected. If you want to dine somewhere where hospitality, consistency, and customer appreciation still matter, I would strongly recommend Crazy Crab. I truly hope Hook & Reel reflects on how situations like this are handled in the future, because no loyal customer should leave feeling disrespected after choosing to spend their hard-earned money at your establishment.

Do not come expecting a solid seafood dinner. We came here after a nearby event. There was live music in the very sizable back lot area. People were actually up and dancing and having a great time. The vibes were stellar. I don't know if I would be into tbis place in the winter if I had to eat inside because the inside is kind of dingey, but outside in the summer is pretty paradisiacal. I did notice that they were doing karaoke in a weird little side room and it did not seem crowded on a Saturday night so that might be worth checking out. Servers were also all super nice. Pretty sure we entered the wrong way and kind of just let ourselves in through the back lot area and then we had no idea where to go to find a host(ess). So we asked the first server we could find where to go and she went "oh I can seat you" and grabbed two menus. Excellent. She also gave us our choice of wherever. The place is huge. Our assigned server was also nice and really knew the menu, which is not small. The menu had a ton of options including some really interesting tofu options and I had a hard time picking so I got excited. Also very customizable where you can choose your preparation. The beer list was not exactly artisinal...a lot of like...michelob ultra. And they had those island slushy kind of drinks. So at first I was like...this is my new weekend hangout. Then our drinks came. They were small and in little plastic cups. Wuhoh. Then our food came. I should have known it wouldn't be fresh. The price wasa little *too* good. When I asked about the catch of the day it was like four different things. I ended up with a buffalo grouper sandwich (grouper was one of the four things). I have had a fresh buffalo grouper sandwich in Clearwater before and that was in 2019 and I still remember it 7 years later. This buffalo grouper sandwich? Oh no. First of all it was this thin, flat battered fried cutlet thing. The breading absorbed the buffalo sauce so I couldn't taste it very much though they did bring me a lot of Bleu cheese dressing. The fish was bad. I bit into it and it tasted fishy and it was dry. Honestly if I hadn't been super hungry I would have just not eaten it. On top of that, I paid an extra dollar to upgrade from fries to hushpuppies. These were legit hushpuppies, but hushpuppies are small and how many did they bring me? 5. Are you kidding? Again, in Florida these are brought free by the basket. They're literally just fried up balls of corn meal. I think that may have offended me more than the bad fish. My husband went witb BBQ pulled chicken and fries and said both were good. So. Here are my thoughts. Would I come here again in the summer for fun vibes and good service? Yes. Would I set low expectations for my food and drink? Yes. Would I probably just order a softdrink and stick to something simple they can't screw up like a quesadilla and fries? Yeeeeeeeah.

This is not a slight against the restaurant, all restaurants do this.) I asked for bread and they brought out some yummy Parker rolls baked in a little skillet with old bay butter. They were piping hot and just perfectly fluffy on the inside. They charge six dollars for it. This is a minor issue-- I probably wouldn't charge more than five dollars. Most restaurants don't offer bread at all anymore and if they do--they charge. They really should mention that they charge for the bread when customers asked for it. My friend chose strawberry ice cream for his dessert included in the restaurant week menu. It was just okay, but what can you expect? It was just ice cream. I ordered a wonderful special bourbon old-fashioned--it was delicious. He got a beer which was quite pricey at $13 for a beer. That seems a bit high. We had a wonderful waitress. Her name is Chante. She was delightful and added to our great experience. We sat outside under the cover because it was such a beautiful night we wanted to eat outside. The bar was really hopping and loud. The restaurant decor is very cute with a French bistro style. This restaurant is close to the Ballston Mall. If you can't find street parking, which is usually tight, just go into the mall garage. I will definitely be going back.

    Cute place with outdoor seating. Located in Balston. Service was ok. And the reason I'm saying…read morethis is because I was server gave us what I thought was complementary bloody bloody Mary shooters. That is a bloody Mary shot with an oyster on top normally it's eight dollars each. We did not order it yet. He added it to my bill and made me pay an extra $16.!!! Other than that, my steak salad was not appetizing. But everything else was good. Update: owner replied and did a refund to my card. I didn't bring it up at the restaurant because I didn't want to cause a scene. I appreciate your reply and the refund was a surprise. I would definitely go back.
