It…read moreisn't a huge restaurant, but our party of six was seated right away, which was a pleasant surprise. The Boat Noodle Soup hits the spot every single time. It's so comforting and filling that I always feel like I need a nap afterward! The rich, spicy broth has the perfect kick that lingers in the back of your throat, and the lemongrass flavor is incredibly satisfying. It has just the right amount of noodles and tender beef, and it's even topped with crispy fried pork skins that add the perfect crunch. If you enjoy spicy food, this is definitely a dish you need to try. The food comes out fairly quickly, so don't be surprised if your appetizer and entrée arrive around the same time. I don't mind because everything is so delicious, but it's something to keep in mind if you like to pace your meal.

Unfortunately, the service was very disappointing. I asked the server if she was Thai, and she nodded to indicate that she was. However, after that, her attitude was cold and unfriendly. She rarely smiled, seemed annoyed whenever we needed anything, and made us feel as though we were not welcome. The poor service took away from what could have been a pleasant dining experience. Good food is important, but customers should also be treated with warmth, courtesy, and respect. I hope the restaurant will improve its customer service.

From the welcoming atmosphere to the consistently delicious food, it's easy to see why people keep coming back. Whether you're craving a comforting bowl of pho or one of their other flavorful dishes, there's really no wrong choice. On this visit, I ordered the lemongrass beef, and it absolutely hit the spot. The meat was flavorful and satisfying, and I was especially grateful that it arrived so quickly because I came in starving. If you're under the weather be sure to order their pho. It's equally impressive, with a rich, aromatic broth that will warm your belly (and keeps this diner coming back time and time again). The restaurant itself is cozy and inviting, yet surprisingly spacious with plenty of seating. It's the perfect spot to get together with friends or family for a quick lunch, or comforting dinner.

One of the best spots in MoCo for Thai cuisine!…read more My family and I love going to Bangkok Garden for friendly, efficient service and delicious Thai food. This time around, we ordered pad thai, one dish with shrimp and one with beef, crabmeat fried rice, and the khao soy noodles. The khao soy was the perfect amount of spicy and the chicken pieces + fresh onions + crispy noodles added a nice texture to the richness of the broth. This order came literally 5 minutes after we placed it, with the rest of the food coming shortly after! Portions are reasonable - all of us managed to finish our plates and felt pretty content if not full. I would say this place has a fun, upbeat atmosphere with the colorful, graffiti walls. Very limited seating though, so understandably there may be a wait time on a busy Friday or Saturday night.

We liked our first dinner at Charm Thai. Our experience was casual and good. The Pad Thai with…read moreChicken was reliably enjoyable. The seasoning on the noodles was more red than brown and I liked the sweeter flavor. I've had this style of Pad Thai before and it seems more authentic. I enjoyed that the sauce wasn't too much or 'goopy.' In other words, it wasn't too thick or strong. We ordered an extra side of thin rice noodles to add to our Pad Thai. It was $4 for a small bowl, but I might have preferred a larger portion for that price. As with others reviews, the basic garden salad was one step up with yellow peppers, red peppers, tomatoes, onions and delightful version of the traditional Thai peanut sauce. The portion size makes this garden salad worth the $9.95 price point. We loved the mango with sticky rice dessert. It was so delicious with the thick, sweet coconut rice sauce and sesame seed (I think) garnish. #localtastebyjenny

Fine in a pinch. I…read moreordered channa masala (chickpea curry), pav bhaji (similar to Indian vegetarian sloppy joe) and butter naan (bread). The delivery took forever (an hour and half just to confirm the order). The food tasted good but not great. The pav bhaji was too soup-like and not the right consistency. That's not how to make pav bhaji. You should still be able to experience the various textures of peas, potatoes, and other ingredients. It also wasn't as flavorful and spicy as I expected. The chickpea curry was also just good but not amazing. I would probably order different dishes if I were to reorder from this restaurant. The naan was fine, buttery, a good portion, and not chewy or hard or dry.

One of my fondest food memories from Queens was eating at Warung Selasa in the back of Indo Java…read more Dewi's food was always on point, and her sambal was unforgettable. Since Indonesian food isn't easy to find in the DMV, I'm really grateful to have Artha Rini so close to home. The restaurant itself is small, casual, and welcoming, and everyone we interacted with was genuinely friendly. I ordered the Soto Ayam, and it was exactly what I was hoping for--warm, comforting, and flavorful without needing to add much of anything. My wife had the Pecel Lele, which was tasty, though the fish was just a little overcooked. My only other minor complaint is that I wish the portions were a bit larger. One thing to note is that the menu leans pretty heavily on coconut milk, which can be tricky for my wife because she has a sulfite allergy. What really impressed us, though, was Artha herself. She patiently answered all of our questions and even told us that if we call ahead, she'll source the one brand of coconut milk that doesn't contain sulfites so she can prepare dishes my wife can safely enjoy. That level of care and customer service is hard to find these days, and it's more than enough reason for us to keep coming back. We're excited to work our way through the rest of the menu.

Crystal and I shared the fried rice that she ordered and the duck curry that I ordered, and I enjoyed both, but the perfectly sweet duck curry really made me happy, so I had it again at my party. Our party of 15 was served efficiently, including pad thai and pineapple fried rice for everyone, and I enjoyed the Crazy Thai Lady: Tequila infused with Thai chili and lime leaves in a tartly-rimmed glass with my dinner. NOTE: They don't take reservations after 6pm.

My partner and I came back today for a late lunch. The place was not crowded…read more We ordered a Tom Yum soup with two spoons, Drunken Noodles and Pineapple Fried Rice. We've had the Drunken noodles before and they are consistently good. The fried rice, my first time for this dish, was very good. Three large shrimp, chicken, chunks of pineapple and some veggies with a very tasty rice. Yum. One disappointment today that I think is worth mentioning. We routinely get the Tom Yum soup and it is one of my favorite things here. Today, the broth tasted like sriracha sauce. My partner agreed. The manager came over and asked how things were. I told her that I was disappointed in the soup, and asked if they had changed their recipe. I told her that we routinely get this item as a favorite, and that it normally has a complex flavor of spices and this time tastes like simple sriracha. She asked if we wanted a different soup. I told her no, that this is our favorite soup and that we get it every time and it's just disappointing this time. She said it probably had too much chili paste put into it and that she'd talk to the head chef. And that was the end of it. Never heard another word or saw her again. When the check came, the charge for the soup was still on the bill. I'm deducting a point from my 5-point scores in the past because I'm disappointed that the manager acknowledged there was a problem but still charged for the soup.
