    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!

My daughter only wanted plain noodles (kids ), and the staff was incredibly kind and patient with her. The plain noodles were a little gummy, but they paired nicely with the comforting bowl of soup they brought out. It's not the fanciest or cleanest restaurant, and parking takes a little patience, but when the food is this good, I don't mind one bit. The staff clearly works hard, and the delicious food speaks for itself. I just wish this place were in my neighborhood! Looking forward to coming back and working my way through more of the menu.

For the uninitiated, abura soba is a brothless ramen where the magic happens at the bottom of the bowl. A savory aromatic oil and tare base sit beneath springy, chewy noodles, topped with a silky poached egg and classic ramen accoutrements. The key is to mix thoroughly -- really commit -- until the egg emulsifies with the oil and sauce, coating every strand in glossy, umami-packed richness. The texture is the standout. The noodles have a satisfying chew that holds up against the weight of the oil without becoming heavy. It's indulgent but not cloying. The customization element elevates the experience: a drizzle of chili oil adds warmth and depth, while a splash of vinegar cuts through the richness with bright acidity. Dial it in to your preference and the bowl transforms in real time. If you're a fan of Chinese scallion oil noodles or Korean jajangmyeon, you'll recognize the comfort-food DNA here -- but abura soba feels more refined and layered. The flavor is concentrated, savory, and deeply satisfying without relying on broth. This is the kind of spot that knows exactly what it is and executes with confidence. A refreshing change from the ramen norm and absolutely worth the visit. Bonus points for the casual kid friendly atmosphere and also offering traditional soup ramen and donburi for less adventurous dining companions.
