I've been here a few times over the years and honestly can't get enough. Food- I've only ever tried the sushi, but WOW.. it's fresh. They never miss. The combinations of ingredients are amazing and you can't go wrong with any of the rolls. Some of my favs were: white & green roll, sriracha crunchy roll, and the three amigos roll- pictured here. The nigiri is also tasty. 4-6pm they have a happy hour where mini sushi rolls are served. Ambience- it's very quiet. There's a bar and then a small ramp down into a seating area that has a small market with Asian goodies from ramen, drinks, sweets to different types of sauces. They have a really good selection to choose from! Service- 10/10, every time. Very sweet and great recommendations. Kid friendly (-: read more

3.5 overall ok, some good, some just fine. ordered for takeout and it was ready very quickly. favorite dishes were the rangoons, the panang (although runnier than I prefer), drunken noodle. Ok dishes were pad see ew and pad thai. would skip the khao soi, rama, and yum nua. read more

We came here for happy hour on Friday and this sushi bar was suprisingly busy especially considering there are not that many businesses in this area. The happy hour included mini sushi pieces, and I also ordered the green cury which is one if my favorites. The Thai Tea is one of my all-time favorites and it wasn't too sweet this time. Interestingly this is the inly restaurant in the entire strip that has outdoor patio seating. It was definitely too hot to be outside, and without any umbrellas togice a little shade, we chose to sit inside. In as much as they cinsider this place a market, it really is set-up more like a diner. We were comfortable, the sushi was good, and it was nice and quiet and easy to have a conversation. read more

The Food was amazing..THE best Thai food Ive had in DC. The sushi was amazing too! The restaurant gives a cute cafe vibe, and the customer service was attentive. Their bathrooms were immaculately clean, and require a code to get in the door. Street parking is available, but limited and make sure to read the street signs. Overall, the reviews are true...5 stars all the way. Highly recommend! read more

A friend local to the area recommended this spot so I decided to give it a try for an early evening dinner on a weekday. The ambiance is light and airy, with a small market tucked away in the corner of the restaurant. Luckily, we came in during happy hour so we were able to order an assortment from items from that menu, ultimately deciding to start off with the Lychee Pop cocktail. The flavor was refreshing and crisp, almost resembling a lychee lemonade - highly recommended and something we'd definitely order again. Next, we ordered the Crab Rangoon and the Spring Rolls from the happy hour menu. The Crab Rangoon was made perfectly, with a light, crispy exterior and a creamy interior. While the Spring Rolls were well made, we both agreed that there was a touch more cabbage than we would have liked and would have preferred more of an assortment of other vegetables. Our main courses were phenomenal. I ordered the Drunken Noodles with beef and the ingredients tasted fresh, the spice was on point, and the noodles themselves were toothsome. My friend ordered both the Spicy Basil Fried Rice with chicken and the Onyx Dragon Roll. The Spicy Basil Fried Rice was delicious - The rice was perfectly cooked and the dish itself was well seasoned with an interesting smoky flavor. The Onyx Dragon Roll was packed, with my friend remarking that the extra layer of seaweed added both flavor and support to the dish overall. I'd recommend The Pantry to anyone in the Georgia Ave. area looking to have a pleasant, filling meal for a reasonable price. The service was straightforward and helpful, the food was flavorful, and the ambiance was casual and relaxed. 5/5. read more

I had walked past here so many times and it had been tempting to go in and see what was good. This bistro is pretty darn fancy and we were greeted immediately after we walked in. It was more or less busy right after 2pm which was ok because we got the table that we wanted. They set this restaurant up very nicely, and there's a lot of things to look at, besides your phone obviously. I got the basic California Roll platter, as well as, some Thai tea which is my absolute favorite. My friend ordered some kind of sushi with crab meat which looked even more delicious than mine. They had so many great things that I wanted to try, but we didn't have unlimited time unfortunately. Our Server was well aware of that, and he followed-up with us several times, which was nice. I would absolutely recommend this bistro if your into Thai food and exotic sushi. read more

I went here a few days ago and forgot to leave a review it was amazing i definitely recommend people go here

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place already. Shame! I love pantry. It is a classic go to neighborhood spot. The staff are amazing. Incredibly friendly and helpful. I have ordered takeout for Here for 4 years and finally dined in. It was a nice experience. The ambiance is cute. The store has great items, and as usual, the food is excellent. They have a good happy hour and the cocktails were really tasty. I have ordered a lot of things from the menu and can't complain about any of them. A word of warning - the spice ratings are serious. I think I have a high spice tolerance - this place puts that belief to the test. The sushi, noodles, rice dishes and even the empanadas are all solid options. This is a go to place to order from if we have a group of friends over and we don't feel like cooking. There is something for everyone. There are also plenty of vegetarian options. read more

Great little place! A group of us had reservations on a Friday night and enjoyed sharing spring rolls, sushi and other dishes with each other. The interior is comfy and not pretentious, but there definitely isn't a ton of seating. But service was great and the food was good. I will have to check out the literal pantry on my next visit! The passion fruit margaritas are a must-try! read more

Had a GREAT first family style dining experience at Pantry Thai. All dishes and apps were hot, flavorful, presented well, and had the perfect sidecars/sauces. Standouts include the pad thai, drunken noodles, and dumplings. Yes, everything else was great! Service and the GM were attentive, polite, and without error (which we sincerely appreciate). Everyone left happy. read more

One of the best sushi rolls I've had in DC so far. I usually get an order of the crunchy salmon and crunchy tuna and sometimes, a shrimp tempura roll when I'm feeling festive LOL. So far, they haven't missed. They also have a cute corner towards the back with a bunch of international ingredients and snacks that I enjoy looking at. You should check it out if you're in the area! read more

Despite its location on Georgia and New Hampshire, right across from the Petworth metro, Pantry-- with its minimal sinage-- is a hidden gem. Even some locals I know in the area, have never heard of, or thought to, coming here. Even their Yelp is unclaimed. It's not normal Thai American food -- is solidly authentic Thai. Uniquely, Pantry offers amazing Thai stews and soups you can't find elsewhere (beware that some are very thing l thick and rich that if that's not what you're liking for, ask them). read more

Atmosphere: Pantry Thai Bistro and Sushi is named really appropriately -- there is a pantry (grocery section), a Thai section, and a sushi bar. It felt very homey and casual! Service: Our server was nice, and our food came out pretty quickly. Food: We ordered the Red Curry with Chicken and Chicken Pad See Ew. The Red Curry was flavorful and slightly spicy. The Chicken Pad See Ew was pretty good! It was soft, saucy, and flavorful. We weren't sure if the portions were small or if we were super hungry coming in! Overall: We had a positive experience at Pantry. The food overall tasted authentic and left us wanting to eat more! We'd love to try some of their sushi in the future as well. read more

HAPPY HOUR 12-7! If you're like me, and you've been wondering, "Where are the lunch specials?" look no further! Pantry is cost effective + has delicious food. It's been so hard to find a quality Thai spot that matches NYC, and this comes so close. I do wish the wings had more sauce on them, but everything else was great (and the drinks are strong). I ordered the drunken noodle since it was my first time here (typically a safe option). The noddles were slightly over cooked, but the flavor was there. My boyfriend got the panang curry, which he adored. read more

We were not feeling great, ordered delivery through the restaurant. Soup made it all better!

The eel avocado roll and futomaki roll were amazing. The spring rolls were also really good and they offered a great portion. Good service and atmosphere is very welcoming. Will definitely try again! read more

I tried this place last week with my wife and we were both very impressed. They had happy hour deals until 7pm that we took advantage of so we ordered cocktails (sweet tea lemonade, passion cooler, kimono whisky sour, and kimono shiso), edamame, seaweed salad, spring rolls, chili wings, three fried rolls (salmon, tuna, and whitefish), and two mini rolls (salmon avocado and spicy tuna). Still slightly hungry we then ordered the drunken noodles with beef and Kapow chicken which we had plenty of leftovers of. They also have delicious sparkling Japanese juices and we tried the Ringo (apple) flavor. The atmosphere is interesting as it is a restaurant inside a small market and our server was wonderful. We look forward to returning to a new favorite spot in DC. read more

How have I never been here? I walk past this place all the time and somehow have never made it inside. I'm glad I finally made the time to go because the food is delicious, the service is easy, and it's a cute eatery. This isn't a place I would go for vibes, but for really scrumptious food. read more

Good service. And very flavorful food. Was a delicious stop for lunch. Had some sushi (melted like butter in my mouth) and a Thai dish. Very good! read more

Service was wonderful. I enjoyed that they had a cute bar to sit at. For food I had: -HH fried tuna roll (with cream cheese) - these were great, but I wish the tuna was raw, as it was definitely cooked. -Spring rolls - these were ok, lacked a little flavor -Crab rangoon - this was a surprise, as I'm used to mostly cream cheese, but it was all crab :) -Tuna sashimi - this was ok, not the most robust flavor or color I've had, but it tasted fresh -Special roll (shrimp tempura, asparagus, eel) - the tempura gave it a nice crunch, but it definitely needed soy sauce I'd go back if I was in the area to try other dishes. read more

Bought Crab Fried and Seafood rice from them today. It has been a while since we visited this restaurant. However. I WAS SO DISAPPOINTED with the meal. My crab fried rice had a smidgen of crab meat on top and once I mixed up the rice you could neither taste nor tell there was any crab in there. It was devoid of flavor. My one tomato was firm and not cooked at all. I may have to just leave this place alone for they have changed. read more

Pantry is my favorite place to go when I don't want to cook, but I want a really great meal. I stop in at least once a month if not more. I usually take it home. They have a cute outdoor seating area and the food is always hot and fresh. I always order the crab rangoon because they're packed with crab and so good. Panang Curry is another staple of mine. Packed with meat, flavor, and spice! The picture doesn't do it justice for how much meat is in there and when I get tofu it's cooked perfectly. The drunken noodle is amazing as well, and I order it every now and then. It'sone of the best drunken noodles I've had. The papaya salad has papaya, green beans, tomatoes, carrots, and a sweet and spicy dressing that is everything! Please stop in for a bite. It's a great restaurant with excellent customer service. I highly recommend a bite to eat here. read more

Some of the best local sushi and it is my go-to for my neighborhood. Walking distance or deliver, the food is always fresh and great.

A good place for sushi and Thai that isn't too expensive. In Petworth lots of ethnic restaurants are opening. Pantry has a wide ranging Asian menu that's friendly to those who don't know much about this. Even if you've never had Asian, it's easy to read the menu. The sushi is fresh tasting. I came off the Metro one day to eat. It's located on the other side of the street across from the station entrance. This is a convenient location for Metro riders. For being in such an up and coming area, it's not all that expensive. The sushi rolls are about $5 and are large. It comes with kimchi and wasabi like any good roll does. The wasabi is fucking spicy. Other Japanese items include the miso. This is light and is a good accompaniment to a roll. I haven't yet tried any of the Thai items. Maybe the next Metro ride. The inside has tables or bar seating. read more

I'd give this place a 4.5 star if I could! It's a great neighborhood spot with a small selection of Asian food items for sale, and a small but solid Thai and small but solid Japanese menu. I absolutely love the Burmese khao soi coconut curry chicken soup noodle bowl with pickled greens. The noodles are perfectly cooked, the curry is flavorful but not spicy (and I say this loving spicy food), and the chicken is tender which is almost never the case for bowls like this. The drunken noodle is perfectly cooked though it doesn't hold up as well on delivery and sticks together (likely just a consequence of delivery). When I had it on the patio, it was perfectly cooked. I had it with pork which was juicy and nicely cooked. The miso ramen is quite good and less overly salted than most restaurant ramen so I don't feel like I need to down three liters of water afterwards. The flavor is great, noodles of the right toothiness, pork is good quality and tasty, so no complaints! The tuna sashimi rice bowl hits the spot. The tuna is reasonably fresh and flavorful. The rice was a tad too mushy but still the best option in Columbia heights or petworth, no doubt. Staff are immensely friendly and professional and kind. There's a small outdoor patio with a few tables. Not heated though so unfortunately harder to visit during a covid winter. You can order delivery straight from the restaurant website and it's really affordable, more so than using DoorDash or another service. I highly recommend it! read more

Great first impression. Staff is very nice and welcoming. They have an every day happy hour from 12 to 7 which is awesome and the nigiri taste fresh and is very good. read more

My worst dining experience in DC by far in over 30 years. People issue, not food. After two visits and spending over 110 dollars, I've decided to provide feedback about their Tom Yum Coong soup that wasn't good. I was harassed by the manager and I felt physically threatened just trying to help with feedback. This place is in a very high crime neighborhood in DC, bathrooms have coded locks, etc. unfortunately, people are also bad, unfriendly. read more

Honestly didn't know what to expect from this place being on Georgia ave you do not see much good food places just mediocre but coming here and trying their food definitely had me second guessing my thoughts on that concept. The sushi was pretty good not fishy at all, had interesting roll options. The shrimp dish that I can't pronounce or spell was ok reminded me a little of something I'd get at the carry out, but the sauce in it was good. I know that they have a lot more dishes I would like to try and from the looks of what others were having as I waited on my food it looks like they have good options. The decor on the inside although closed was nice and so was the service. I'd give it another try. read more

Honestly some of the best Thai food we've had. Their flat noodles are to die for. Not your typical cheap Thai food noodles, these are thicc, chewy, and perfectly cooked with a bit of char. Almost approaching mochi chew. The meat in the dishes was also cooked perfectly. Not dry as a bone like you'll typically get in American Thai food. read more

Stopped in for dinner on a recent Saturday evening, and it was really enjoyable. Food was delicious, and we enjoy both sushi as well as Thai food, so the combination worked well for us. Everything we had tasted really good - very fresh, flavorful, & satisfying. We also were able to get a few beers under their happy hour (until 7pm), which was much appreciated. Service was okay, but would have liked to see the waitstaff more frequently checking on beverage refills, etc.... But overall, a solid place to grab some good sushi & thai food in DC. read more
