For a place thats bold enough called "Pad Thai" better have decent Pad Thai. We gave this place a go and we were able to get seat for two on a Friday evening Got pad Thai and crispy duck basil. Tbh the duck wasn't bad but we had to order rice separately and there wasn't much actual meat on the duck. Lots of sauce and flavoring though The Pad Thai was disappointing. Really thick with sauce, far too sweet, and had a tang in it that isn't typically in normal pad thai (lemongrass? Mint? Not sure) I don't recommend this place, price wasn't great for the meal and wherever you do, DON'T get the pad thai read more

We ordered curry puffs . They were good . Then we ordered Tom Kha .Big mistake .It was just too sour . I have had Tom kha before not like this . The lady kept telling me it is sour that's how it should taste .My teeth felt numb. Finally my husband said he is from Malaysia . The lady came back to say she took it off our bill. We ordered a Drunken Noodle and Duck Green curry .They were ok . Food was not that great compared to other Thai places . read more

This place is an absolute gem! The service was outstanding--friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. We had the Pad See Ew and it was incredible--packed with flavor and perfectly cooked. They were able to make it spicy just how we like it, and did a great job customizing the dish. Also really appreciated how gluten-free friendly they were. The ambience was quiet, clean, and relaxing--perfect for a peaceful meal. We will definitely be back. Easily the best Thai food in the area! read more

Pad Thai Restaurant - Pad See Ew - Thai Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

Good food at a reasonable cost. Service was friendly. Ambiance is lacking but clean. Overall, we enjoyed our visit and also chatting with the owners. read more

I'm sorry. I've been coming here for years but I'm done. The crispy dumplings are literally from the Costco freezer section. I'm so upset by that. Also, the noodle entrees are not what they used to be. By the way, restaurant is empty on a Saturday night, not a good sign. read more

Service was prompt and very friendly and nice. The food also was served so quickly which was welcome because we were starving. We ordered spring rolls, calamari, papaya salad, pad see ew, pad Thai and ka pow. The dishes were all rather average, nothing really stood out. But if you're hankering for a quick and friendly Thai meal, it's a perfectly acceptable place to stop in. read more

Pad Thai Restaurant - Wow real back home cooking a must try in Fairfax Va - Thai Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

I just realized Pad Thai Restaurant is a female owned business. Love to support small businesses, but it's even cooler when it's a female owned small business. I haven't had a single dish that I have not enjoyed here. This recent visit I ordered the Ka Pow basil chicken ( ground chicken). This was my first time going with the ground chicken. Found that I prefer it over the sliced chicken. The staff is extremely friendly and welcoming. They are also good about asking you about how spicy you'd like your dish. I went with the medium spicy which has a decent amount of spice. This is a safe choice for an edible spice level. They are finally back open for indoor dining! They do require a mask. Another great food experience at Pad Thai Restaurant! read more

2/11/23 After doing some shopping, it time to get someone to eat. My wife picked the restaurant today and today it is Pad Thai. Tje ratings are high so we will see how things go today. We turned out to be the first guests so far. I went with the appetizer Chrispy Dumplings ($5.99) and my wife went with a meal of Drunkin Noodles aka Kee Moa Met the owner of Pad Thai Ms. Noi. A charming young lady full of wit and grace. I learned she is the onwer of this restaurant for nearly 20 years. It is a family run. The woman behind me in pink is Noi's sister (for name sake Shelly). The Chrispy Dumplings have no meat in them and are delicious. I ordered 2 of them. The Drunkin Noodles I did not try, because it is spicy...my wife loves spicy food. The music playing right now acoustic guitar with spanish themes. Not sure of the song. Okay I looked it up. 2 The Night (Fast Cars/4 Frank) Song by Ottmar Liebert. The music is setting the mood. Dessert turned out to be Sticky Rice with Mango. The mango did not last 5 minutes. The rice was okay for me, but I think I would have rather eaten a whole mango. I will be sure to let Ms. Noi know this for next time. Before leaving, Ms. Noi noticed my card for Relax Rite Massage. We had plans to get a massage and Ms. Noi was surprised to learn the cost was so low. I gave her information on who to see so she might make an appointment with Cindy or Amy. Nevertheless, we will come back here to eat later on this year. read more

Excellent food. Attentive service. Strip mall ambiance. I had seen this place for several months and my best girl & I decided to drop on in. Had an assortment of apps which were excellent. She ordered a green curry chicken that was flavorful & fragrant. We also had a side of pad Thai I wanted "something different" as I'm going to Thailand in 2024 and I'm not very knowledgeable about the food. So. Yes. Research! I asked the waitress and she gave me several options, including the "whole fish".... When I saw MKT for price, I asked and she said "depending upon size, but about $40".... It's my birthday weekend so I figured Let me say the fish - whole flounder - was excellent! Tasty. Firm. Fresh as promised. Dessert of sticky rice was great. The issue came with the bill. I was presented a non itemized bill with a significant cost. (We were drinking waters).... When I asked "how much was the fish?", I was told "$65.99.... First time special price".... Ok. $65 is NOT $40 That said the food was excellent 9+.... Service was 9+ Ambiance is a 6 Pricing surprise was a 3! read more

I love Thai Food. Based on the Reviews of this place looked good. I always checking out reviews first. I ordered to go. The crab fried rice tasted and smelled old. Also the vegetable Pad thai was sweet. I have never tasted a Vegetable Pad Thai that was sweet. Very disappointed and wasted money. Threw it out in the trash. On a postive note the spring rolls were good. The Customer Service was good. I will not be back Sadly to say. read more

While visiting our daughter at GMU, the group voted for Thai. We chose Pad Thai Restaurant for the convenient location and consistent reviews. We were greeted immediately and ordered Spring Rolls, Pad Thai, Pad See Ew, and Chicken Lo Mein. The food was delivered hot within 10 minutes of ordering and everyone enjoyed their entree. The owner & staff were very pleasant and the restaurant is quiet enough to have a conversation. Music is playing throughout the restaurant. Great food with reasonable prices. Give Pad Thai Restaurant a chance next time your getting your noodle fix. read more

Pad Thai Restaurant - Classic Pad Thai it's Chicken & Shrimp - Thai Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

Nice little hole In the wall. Very clean Really good prices. Friendly and fast service. The have beer and wine options. The seem to have a lot of carry out business and a lot of repeat customers. The food is average quality. I ordered beef with my noodles and could not eat/chew thru 1/2 of the beef bc it was very fatty and not good quality. I had to spit it out in my napkin. My wife got the veggie version and was significantly better. White rice came with the noodle meal. We did not need it. But nice for hungry people. Be careful sitting next to the door, every time someone enters/exit a cold blast of air hits you. (I assume the opposite for summer.) I know it's only 3 star review. I will try them again. read more

Good food at a relatively cheap price. The staff there is also friendly. I would definitely recommend the pad Thai there

A simple, but clean, modern, cozy restaurant. A pleasant find. We were in the area and followed their 4.3 star review on Google here. Probably not the most authentic or best Thai dishes but great service, good pricing, and generally good food. The seats along the wall are very comfy, with pillows. The fish cake appetizer is good; it has a bit of spice embedded within. The calamari, I would skip it next time. Really all about the breading. Not much calamari. The seafood hot pot is good, though they are very stingy on seafood. Overall it's good, it's just filled with tofu. But then the price reflects this somewhat. So I can't complain. read more

They have really delicious pad thai! The sauce is sweet rather than sour, which I love. Their drunken noodles are good, but could do with a bit more flavor. I haven't tried the other dishes, yet, but will come back for more! read more

Listen here, we were fooled by the reviews and I don't want that to happen to you. Of all the Thai places I've been too this was by far one of the worst. The Thai iced tea was very small, with a lot Of ice...chicken wings were overcooked, the pad Thai was watery and had a strange taste...with a name like pad Thai you would think this would be the best Padthai ever right? Wrong. To top it off both of our meals were cooked wrong after she verified with us twice how we wanted them cooked, then just says "well that's how the chef is used to making them"....help me understand here. Got charged for extra egg, didn't receive extra egg. The service was terrible and very slow. All I left that restaurant with was disappointment, a bill for things I didn't recieve and heartburn. Do yourself a favor and skip this one. Thank me later. read more

Came by with a group of my coworkers for lunch. The restaurant isn't too big so our group of 10 definitely took up most of the space. I love that they have lunch specials and their prices are so affordable compared to other Thai restaurants in the area! The food was very authentic and our server was also the chef! She was so personable that I look forward to my next visit! read more

Delicious lunch at Pad Thai! I had the crispy watercress salad which was tempura fried watercress topped with cilantro, red onions, cashews, chicken breast and two nice sized shrimp. This was topped with a bright citrusy sauce and really hit the spot. Fast service, and ice cold beer were also a plus. The interior is a bit tired, and there was someone watching a very loud and violent movie at a nearby table, which did detract from our meal a bit, but for $13, that salad made it worth it! read more

This has been our go to for Thai, particularly for Pad Thai, for years. It is consistently outstanding; we get take out from them about every other week despite the fact it's 5 miles from home and not on our normal commuting route. It's clear that everything is made fresh to order (it nuclear hot when you pick it up) - and I've never had a bad batch. The staff is friendly and welcoming and their payment system it's easy and straightforward (in fact I now have their app on my phone). You can eat in the restaurant as well. It's a simple but fine space. read more

For a long time this was my go to spot for Thai food. Lately it seems like the quality has diminished. The pad Thai was very dry and seemed unusually colored. The Crispy basil duck was not great. The duck was fried for way too long and wasn't crispy but tough and chewy. The flavor of duck was completely absent probably from the over cooking as well. The overall portion size was relatively small considering the price tag. On a positive note, the drunken noodles were still good and flavorful and the green curry wasn't too bad. read more

** 3 Stars ** I stopped in here for lunch today - craving some Thai spiciness - and well, it was a mixed bag. I was planning on the Som Tum, but I noted a soup I've not had before - the Poh Taek - which is a spicy broth with seafood and Thai herbs - the soup had mushroom, red onion, green bell pepper, and some other veggies and herbs I could not identify, plus shrimp, mussels, and squid - it was good - 4 Stars for the soup. Pad Thai stumbled on the Papaya salad. I'm a big fan of this dish, so I'm a bit critical when it's done poorly. It just had no kick or zip to it. And things were not as crunchy and fresh as they should have been. Most places I've been serve the salad on a bed of crisp Romaine lettuce - which itself is delicious after sitting in a zippy lime dressing. Maybe Romaine was not available today - but they served it on a bed of crappy, weak looking iceberg lettuce that had seen better days. And instead of firm, juicy cherry or grape tomatoes, they substituted mushy chunks cut from regular tomatoes. And the whole thing just lacked the spicy zip that I've come to expect when eating Papaya salad. 2 Stars for the Papaya salad. The service was attentive. I'll give this place another shot some time down the road since others have rated it so highly! read more

They have a pre-set lunch menu with about six entirely forgettable items, that are a basic "Asian" stir-fries and fried rices. Their $8 price point includes a bamboo shoot-and-tofu soup (???) and a pre-made spring roll. While that sounds like a deal for lunch, I think you can do far better in terms of getting a meal that sounds less like "veggies out of a can" tossed in a broth... The price point is on par with a DC truck lunch, but at a sit down restaurant. Because I wanted to check out the true hand of the cook here. I chose their interesting sounding Seafood Pattaya. The spice did not disappoint. The gravy was more watery than rich. The concoction of seafood was A-OK, but in total I felt that there could have been a few more flourishes with more of a basil garnish, better presentation, and more vegetables (the eggplant was rather scant!). The cook came out and ate her own lunch in her own bowl towards the end of the lunch hour and I wondered what she had concocted for herself, in her large soup bowl. I would have enjoyed a more 'native kitchen' experimental soup concoction myself! The price point for the seafood was rather too high. With tip I ended up paying approximately $20 for lunch and I felt it was exaggerated for the presentation and the dish that was served. read more

Went here last night for a quick dinner after running errands. To my surprise the entire restaurant got a makeover. Its very modern, clean and brightly lit. My daughter even commented that the bathrooms were soooo clean and had fresh flowers inside. Ordered a few things and it all came out quickly. Pad thai with chicken was a but lighter in color than what i am used to but this was surprisingly super flavorful. The balance of flavors, softness of the noodles and peanut sauce was on point. Minimal on the garnish like beansprouts, green onion and there was no lemon on the side. But it didnt need all that to make it good. Pad see ew with chicken was also flavorful and had that amazing wok smoke/smell/taste. The noodles were perfectly cooked and had just the right amount of chicken. Ordered a curry i have never tried before and was surprisingly pleased. Massaman curry with chicken, potatoes and whole peanuts. Amazing! Not too salty and they must have fried the potatoes first because it had a crunchy outter coating, chicken was thinly sliced and tender. The peanuts added an amazing crunch/texture. Highly recommended. You have to try the crispy duck basil dish. We opted for a medium heat so my kids couldnt try it but is was great. The crispiness was amazingly balanced. Not too oily but had a tempura like sweet batter coating on semithinly sliced duck. I didnt notice the basil too much. So i wish it had more of it?!?! We didnt order dessert because we were so stuffed from eating all the food. Maybe next time! Overall the dishes were awesome and we cant wait to return. The service was also great. Waters were refilled constantly and the owners? were super nice and friendly. read more

It's a great small business hole in the wall. Food is filling and the price is really kind. I liked the pad Thai. The Panang curry was very weird though, it was tomato sauce based and not orange but reddish. Would come back. read more

The Beau got crispy duck, I got chicken pad thai and green tea. Food took little to no time to come out. Clean, whimsical feel to restaurant; real small (long and narrow). Waitress is super nice and accommodating. Duck was very crispy and spicy sweet. The pad thai was good. This is my favorite place for duck so far (I've sampled it at 2 other Thai places-- the Beau gets this dish everytime). However, the Beau said it was only "good" compared to his favourite spot, simply because Pad Thai's style is similar to Chinese General Tso's. My dish had small slices of mango in it, very few scallions, plenty of bamboo shoots and peanuts, eggs and decent sized pieces of chicken. Restaurant was DEAD at 6.30p on Sunday, sad cos the food is good and we'll definitely come back. read more

This cute little spot is my new favorite for Thai. These sweet little lady served us the most delicious authentic Thai food. I usually am picky about my Thai food and everything here was great. The service was fantastic and I enjoyed my ka pow chicken, my friend loved the pad Thai. I had a bite of the pad Thai and it was the best I've ever had and I'm not usually a pad Thai fan. Definitely coming back here! read more

Not your typical trendy hip Thai restaurant, but definitely very authentic. Feel like you can't go wrong with anything here. Lunch specials are so worth it tho. $7.99 for a big portion meal with either an appetizer or soup (chef's choice). For to try the Kapow chicken which was a little spicier than expected but still delicious. The Pad Thai and Pad See Ew was also very delicious!! Those are good go-to's. Both very flavorful and filling. Unfortunately, not part of the lunch special. Also, got a hot Thai tea, which my dad special requested. The owners are super nice and accommodated to him. They even cracked jokes and always checked up on us. We found out that it's a family restaurant owned by two sisters, and I really respect local family-run businesses, since they're usually authentic and feels very homey. read more

Amazing service, great food! We highly recommend this Thai restaurant. It's cute and nice and clean inside as well.

I only noticed this place cause my nail salon is a few doors down. The interior is cute with a nice choice of seats, tables, and cushions. Good service and my food came out quickly. I started off with tom yum soup, as I've never tried before. Although I did not prefer the smell, the soup tasted pretty good. There were about 3-4 shrimp and the cilantro tasted fresh. I also ordered drunken noodles with beef at a 2 out of 3 heat, and I've gotta say this is the best I've had. I stopped ordering drunken noodles for a while because no one seemed to meet my liking and skimped on meat, but I'm glad that I tried it here. The beef was flavorful and there was an abundance. Also the right amount of onions, peppers, and carrots. Love the vibe here and the server was very attentive. read more

Ok. So- I used to swear by this place. Came in after a few years- they remodeled!!! It's bigger! Walked in at 1115- they open at 11, I walk in- owners sitting at a table- no greeting, I'm awkwardly standing there for about a minute- and finally as if I seat myself- no sign. The menu.... I can't tell if it's a Chinese restaurant or Thai- they had a lunch special menu that was laminated on top of a two page menu that head not laminated- had food stains and writing in pen on it. The soup of the day the server didn't know- it was egg drop- at a Thai restaurant? Lol Ordered pad Thai and yum yum soup- mushrooms were from a can and really felt they phoned it in. I want the old place back. Pad Thai was good- lil too sweet They used to have an hrc equal rights sticker in the window... not anymore! read more
