    Chicken Pineapple

    The last time that I had such authentic Thai cuisine was in Thailand! I was absolutely impressed by the quality of the ingredients. Service was great! The ambience, however, left me puzzled. Instead of image of Thailand, there were posters that did not make sense. Otherwise a great experience and fabulous food.

    Pad Thai
    Katie P.

    Decent neighborhood Thai place. I've been here several times before (even pre-pandemic), but I think the food quality has declined a bit since and prices have increased (story of most restaurants post pandemic, I suppose). It's a cozy spot with friendly staff - if anything, it's more of a "go and support the local business." The food presentation is always great too - see pictures below.

    Firecracker Shrimp

    I'm always down to eating Thai food and trying next places - this was my first time here. All the food we ordered tasted delicious but the food did take a while to come out (we did come for a later dinner though). I wish the portion sizes were a bit bigger; if we didn't order a few appetizers, I probably would not have been full with just an entree.

    Stir-fry veggies
    Monique B.

    Dropped in on a whim after work, ordered the stir-fry veggies, no rice or meat (see photo). The food was tasty but the portion size, small. For $13 I expected a little more. The facility was clean and COVID friendly. The service was cordial. The menu offered a little something for everyone. Would definitely try again.

    Crispy Beef Basil spicy Golden Calamari
    Zuri D.

    I pass this place almost every day and finally stopped to try it last week, and I'm glad I did! I had the crispy basil beef and the spicy calamari. Bottom line up front: this was the best calamari I have EVER had. I've had tons and tons of calamari, and nothing even comes close. The spice level, the crispness, and the portion sizes were all *chef's kiss.* I also really enjoyed my Thai iced tea and crispy basil beef. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that the beef was pretty salty, but still delicious. They were also very responsive and the service was super quick, especially for calling at 5 PM on a Friday. This will definitely be my new go-to Thai spot.

    Shrimp pad Thai
    Alex N.

    This is a restaurant serving the classic Thai dishes. I think there's room for improvement. Regardless, this is worth a try if you enjoy Thai. Food: Pad Thai - 3.5/5 - bland lacked both sweetness and sour tartiness bean sprouts and a slice of lemon which are commonly seen in other Thai restaurants are not offered on the side here Crispy basil chicken - 3.5/5 - chicken tasted quite dry on the inside Crispy basil beef - 5/5 - very delicious; I enjoyed this a lot Pad see ew - 5/5 - classic, delicious taste Thai iced tea - 5/5 Ambience: Small, cozy, comfortable with modern contemporary-traditional Thai decor Service: Very friendly and attentive staff

In the same breath, she also warned that service may be slow. However, that wasn't the case when I visit on a Sunday evening in July for dinner. Here's my experience. 1) Service: There's a small parking lot on the upper level of this strip mall in McLean. Walk down the stairs into one-room spacious Chiang Mai Thai Cookhouse. Once inside, I was greeted by a hostess and seated at a table for two. Throughout my one-hour stay, I was checked in upon. My water glass was kept full, and the check came to my table in a timely manner. 2) Food: Hungry, I ordered the papaya salad, tom ka soup, and the mango and sticky rice for dessert. I also ordered the Thai iced tea. Every dish was a little different from other Thai restaurants across the country. The papaya in the salad was thicker and not as soaked in the flavors. The soup had large, cooked onion pieces in it. The rice in the dessert was a slight green color. The Thai iced tea was more subtle. Despite the uniqueness of each dish, I enjoyed each one. 3) Space: Decorations color the walls in the one-room dining room. Unisex restrooms are in the very back.

Now, the restaurant itself is deceptively unassuming. It's tucked inside a strip center behind a bank and next to two other (well rated apparently) restaurants with only a handful of seats, both indoors and outside. DO NOT let the appearance deter you from sitting dow and enjoying what will be an unbelieveanly good meal . We kept it simple - we started with the special fish dumplings (fish based dumpling around a pork/mushroom filling), the Yum Woon Sen and their house Drunken Shanghai noodles. My wife asked for mild, and j asked for medium on the spice levels The flavours were simply divine. The portions were perfectly sized in this era of gigantosaurus dishes and the service was helpful and friendly. The only possible negative comment was that my medium spicy was leaning toward the mild (ok - it was actually mild) side of the spectrum. That's certainly an issue that can be overcome - and is always better than falling on the other end of that spice spectrum where you risk having your face melt during the meal. We will definitely be back - and cannot wait to explore more of the menu!

It leans toward Northern Thai regional cuisine, bringing a more complex and adventurous flavor profile than the familiar dishes we usually find around the DC area. Considering McLean's generally conservative, affluent crowd, this restaurant is a refreshing kick of bold flavors. The space itself is modern, spacious, and spotless. The staff were attentive throughout the meal, and the presentation of each dish was thoughtful and appealing. They also offer a nice selection of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails. We started with the curry puffs, made with vegetables instead of chicken. They were delicious--small in size but packed with flavor, balancing sweet, savory, and just a touch of heat. The green mango salad was crisp, fresh, lightly spiced, and wonderfully summery. For my entrée, I had the vegetable sukiyaki with thin rice noodles. It was well seasoned, flavorful without being overwhelming, and hearty enough to be a satisfying meal. Overall, Sorn Thai offers a refreshing take on Thai cuisine with regional dishes that stand out from the usual fare. If you're in McLean and want to experience something a little different, this restaurant is definitely worth trying.

Sat on higher chairs (given option for lower chairs/table or higher). The place was very busy for a Sunday evening. We waited almost 5 minutes before our server came by. I was counting down the seconds til we were going to leave. We ordered the Thai chicken fried rice & Chicken Drunken Noodle as usual to sample if this place is legit in our eyes & mouths. After 8 minutes, our food came out hot in large flat bottomed bowls. The portions seemed reasonable. The chicken fried rice had several pieces of white meat chicken, scrambled eggs & nice assortment of veggies. The smell & taste test passed with good amount of wok hei in every bite. My son finished 99% of it. He gave it a 10! My medium spicy chicken drunken noodles had a good amount of heat and very good portion. The Thai flavors of hot, sweet & salty were all there. Ordered the spice tray for more heat & added vinegar-chili for that sour kick to cut through the rich flavors of the noodles. Only problem was that some of the chicken pieces were overcooked and hard & plastic-like. Not ideal but better than undercooked. 8/10 Overall, service was okay but the food was very good! Good enough to come back again.

Had never heard of this place, but a…read moreFacebook friend raved about the drunken noodles here, and I noticed the spot wasn't too far from me (within short walking distance of the Dunn Loring Metro stop in Merrifield near Vienna), so I decided to walk over and check it out. Went over a few Saturdays ago a little before 2 PM. Semi-small spot, but it wasn't busy, so plenty of seats were available and I was basically able to sit anywhere. (I'll point out that while they do serve beer and wine here, there is no bar area or TVs in the restaurant.) This is one of those spots where you have to access the menu through your phone--no paper menus (unless maybe you ask). Not too much of a problem for me because I knew what I'd come for: the drunken noodles. Not much for vegetables mixed in with my meat, so I ordered the beef drunken noodles with no veggies (except for basil, which I left in) and scrambled egg. Ordered at spice level 4 (extra spicy); spice levels range from 0 (not spicy) to 5 (Thai spicy). I love spicy food, but I was warned by the waiter not to choose spice level 5 (LOL), so I went with 4 just to be safe. Don't know if it was because they weren't too busy, but the noodles came out blazingly fast--in less than 5 minutes! And the noodles were excellent too--honestly, up there with some of the best noodles I've ever had! At a spice level of 4, you could feel the spice, but it wasn't bad at all. I think spicy food lovers would be perfectly fine at 4 or even 5. The noodles were also well-portioned and fantastic. The base price for the noodles was around $14. While most protein add-ons are no extra charge, the beef option was an extra $2, and adding scrambled egg was another $2. With taxes, the price for my noodles came out to around $20, which wasn't bad at all considering my add-ons. Customer service was good--the waiter was nice, prompt, and informative about the menu (which honestly isn't the easiest to navigate online). Great experience overall, and I was in and out of the restaurant in less than 25 minutes. Enjoyed my meal so much that I came back a couple days later for their Monday-Friday lunch special, where you get a free appetizer (chicken soup, tofu soup, or crispy veggie dumplings at the spice level of your choice) with any entree. Ordered the beef drunken noodles and chicken soup, both at spice level 5. Both came out quickly and were excellent. Also tried the recommended Thai iced tea for the first time, which was also very good. No complaints about Kiin Imm Thai--I see why they're so highly rated here, and I'll definitely be returning as a regular. Only regret is living within walking distance of this spot for over 3 years and not being aware of it. In addition to this location in the Vienna area (close to the Dunn Loring Metro), I believe they also have a sister location of the same name in Rockville, Maryland. Highly recommend!
