The service was great, and the restaurant itself was really pretty and had such a nice atmosphere. We all got the mango frozen cocktails, and they were AMAZING; so refreshing, and honestly the perfect pairing with the food. Everyone in our group ordered something different, and everything we tried was so good. I got the Thai vermicelli, and it was absolutely delicious! I also got to try some of my friends' dishes, and everything was flavorful and really well done. I'm usually pretty nitpicky when it comes to coconut curry sauces, but it was so perfectly balanced and flavorful. It was easily some of the best Thai food I've had in the DMV (honestly!). No complaints whatsoever. I'll definitely be returning next time I'm in the area! :)

Amazing Thai food at this restaurant. Got the green mango Salad, chicken wings, khao soi, and beef…read morecurry. The mango salad was delicious, I could eat that all day. The khao soi had good flavor, and it came with rice. The chicken wings were for my son, he said they were the best wings he's ever had. The beef curry had good flavor, but the beef was a bit overcooked. Service was a little bit of a miss. When the waiter first came, he asked us for our food order. However, we wanted to order drinks first. I was able to order my cocktail, however, the waiter left before anyone else at my table could speak to order a beverage. Food came out very quickly. This is not the type of place where you would want to enjoy drinks and food over a period of time. However, if you are super hungry, your food will definitely get to you quickly. Restaurant was crowded, but not super loud. Overall, I would come back for the food, I just wish that I could have more time to enjoy my restaurant experience.

I ordered lunch from here earlier this week and unfortunately, I really don't understand the hype…read more I ordered the Pad See Ew, and it was probably some of the worst Thai food I've had. The dish seriously lacked flavor, and the egg wasn't properly broken up or incorporated into the noodles. Instead, there were basically two large chunks of egg in the dish. I also specifically asked for extra sauce and was willing to pay for it, but they very clearly did not add any extra sauce. I ended up throwing it away after only a few bites. I will say the rocket shrimp rolls were very good, and the sauce that came with them was also really good. They were easily the best part of the meal. That said, Pad See Ew is a pretty standard Thai dish and something most Thai restaurants easily nail, so I was surprised by how disappointing this was. Overall, definitely not a good experience and not somewhere I'd order from again.

For appetizers, I got the spring rolls and chicken satay. The spring rolls were pretty good, but the chicken satay was definitely a highlight because the chicken was so juicy and flavorful. For my mains, I tried the Veggie Tom Yum soup, Veggie Drunken Noddles, and Veggie Basil Fried Rice. The Tom Yum was delicious and had just a hint of spice that gave it a nice kick without being overwhelming. It was actually really refreshing and flavorful. The Drunken Noodles and Basil Fried Rice were also good. For dessert, I got the mango sticky rice, and the mango was SO fresh and sweet which I loved. I also tried the Thai Custard Pudding. The texture was definitely interesting and different from what I expected. I thought it would be a pudding but it was more of a cake texture. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't my favorite of everything I tried. For drinks, I got the Lychee Thai Iced Tea and regular Thai Iced Tea. The Lychee Thai Iced Tea was really good, but the regular Thai Iced Tea was absolutely bomb. Overall, I really enjoyed my first visit!

I dined there for a mid afternoon lunch with a friend and we ordered the spring rolls, papaya salad, chicken panang and the Thai lemongrass pandan drink. The spring rolls were generously sized and the papaya salad was a nice contrast with it's sharp, fresh flavors. The chicken panang had a light, mild spice and wasn't too sweet or heavy like other restaurants . I had never had a Thai pandan lemongrass drink before so was pleasantly surprised at how well it complemented the dishes. It's a bit "grassy" on it's own but it works well with food. The service team was great- attentive but never overly so. The space is intimate so if you she a group larger than 6 it might be hard to get a table unless you make reservations. There is a cute upstairs dining room that seemed to have a few larger tables. I am so glad that we encountered this restaurant and will add it to my regular Georgetown restaurant rotation!

We ended up waiting over an hour but that's not their fault and this isn't reflected in my rating. In the order they came out: 1. Crispy catfish (Pad Phet Paa) - extremely disappointing. It wasn't crispy at all and the flavor was lacking. Also, there was supposed to be eggplant but we barely saw any. 2. Red coconut curry - too sweet for my liking and it wasn't spicy at all which was also a disappointment. 3. Kee Mao - this honestly was the best part of the meal but I honestly expect this dish to be solid at every restaurants. Overall, as someone from out of state, I wouldn't try this place again given this experience.

Good quality Thai food at reasonable prices. The dishes were rich in layer and satisfying…read more Corn Fritter: An equisute and interesting appetizer. Corn coated in a thin layer of tempura batter, fried until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, showcasing its natural sweetness and slightly chewy texture. It was somewhat like a Chinese yumi-lao玉米烙 but more moist. The most surprising thing was that despite being entirely vegetarian food, it has the sweetness and meaty texture of fried shrimp paste. The sweet and sour sauce is similar to the Thai sweet chili sauce commonly found in China, but thinner. Served in a small cup, it looked like a cup of black tea, making it more refreshing. Grilled Pork Neck: Very different from pork neck in Chinese Thai cuisine; it's more like Cantonese char-siu叉燒. The pork neck was very well marinated and grilled to a very tender perfection, with a rich and smooth honey aroma, and a subtle wine aftertaste, but it was slightly too sweet for me. Nam Jin Jaew was primarily composed of the tangy kick of lime and the savory saltiness of fish sauce, complemented by the mild spiciness of bird's eye chili, the special fragrance of cilantro, and the sweetness of palm sugar, with a subtle hint of smokiness. It was refreshing on the whole, and incredibly layered - I fell in love with it instantly. Tom Saab Soup: It looked light, but it was surprisingly spicy and sour! The ribs were very fresh, all marbled with fat and lean meat, stewed until incredibly tender, allowing you to taste the natural aroma of the meat. The sourness was subtle, clear, and mild, with a base of lemongrass fragrance that added even more depth. My friend thoughtfully ordered it mildly spicy, but in the end, it just felt like it lacked a kick. Mango Sticky Rice: The best mango sticky rice I've ever had! The sticky rice was cooked to perfect texture and warmth, absorbing the coconut milk flawlessly - neither too watery nor too dry. The first taste was the fragrance of glutinous rice, followed by the sweetness of coconut milk, and a refreshing, slightly tart mango to cut through the richness. Thai Iced Tea: Too much condensed milk, excessively sweet. My friend said it was much sweeter than the last time she had it. Was this a change in the recipe, or did the quality control need improvement? Donsak is a district in Surat Thani, Thailand, and also the hometown of the restaurant's co-owner and manager, Boom, where she was born and raised. The restaurant's introduction states: "When she left for the US, Boom didn't know she wouldn't get to see her home again for many years - and she still hasn't. Donsak is a way around that." No wonder what truly touches the heart, is indeed the taste of love and home.

But after seeing the person next to me order the Claypot Noodles, I placed that order to go.

There's no reservations here as it is walk-in only. SUKIYAKI - 23 +chicken My go-to is normally pad see ew, but wanted to try something different. I noticed they had a Thai-style sukiyaki which isn't commonly found in most Thai restaurants I go to. I loved that this dish contained glass noodles, a wide variety of veggies, and a good portion of chicken. However, I didn't love the sukiyaki sauce, which was savory with some acidity. The sukiyaki had great ingredients, but not my ideal flavors. My friend got the Siam House Noodle with extra spice, which i didn't bother trying. He enjoyed it though. Overall, Siam House gives you a huge portion of food -- we both had enough for leftovers, and this is saying a lot for my friend who has a big appetite.

That said, I was very happy with my this random result. Upon entering the restaurant, I thought the host/bartender/server was super nice and very friendly. For my dining pleasure, I went with the drunken noodles with chicken. While the meal was pretty tasty, I thought the portion size was a bit small compared to the same dish that I've had at other Thai places in the area. While the portion size was a bit smaller for this dish, I did think the prices in general were pretty reasonable compared to other spots in the area. Interestingly enough, I did place an order to go for my family, and the portions for those dishes were pretty standard. One thing that I have to recommend: the chicken wings with the chili sauce. I'll say that the sweet chili sauce was out of this world amazing. The Regent really should bottle this sauce and sell it, because I would totally use this sauce in my everyday cooking. Actually, I probably appreciated the sweet chili sauce more than the chicken wings. ;) Overall, I cannot really complain about my experience at The Regent. Perhaps, I'll return during another one of my random adventures in that part of town.
