Authentic Thai food! I've been dying for some Tom Kha and was so glad that they had it here. I came for a late lunch so I was basically the only person in the restaurant besides staff, so everything I ordered came out very quickly. I wasn't too hungry when coming in for a late lunch so I didn't get big plates. But I can 100% vouch for everything I ate. The Tom Kha was some of the best I have ever had! A slightly mild soup with chicken and coconut flavors (yummmm). I also ordered the mussels (I did not expect them to come in a broth since the menu says they are steamed) but they were surprisingly spicy and delicious. It came with some housemade chili sauce that was even spicier! There were like 7 mussels. Even though it was so spicy, the flavors were delicious so I bared through the spicy sauce. I ordered jasmine tea and it came as a packet of the jasmine tea with hot water. I would've loved it to be brewed loose leaf but that's ok. Overall, this place was delicious, and it was so cute! The decor inside doesn't give "Thai" but it's absolutely gorgeous and relaxing. There is a lot of seating as well and a whole parking lot. read more

Excellent food and service! Soul Thai Kitchen & Bar, located in the Arlington --Dominion Hills neighborhood on Wilson Blvd in Arlington, offers some of the best authentic Thai eats I've had in a while. The whole vibe and setting of the place is welcoming, casual and chill with a really cool interior. I've been here three times now and I can say all the dishes I've tried have been consistently flavorful, seasoned, spiced right and delicious!! My favorites so far are the Grilled Squid, Drunken Noodles, Panang Curry, and Pad See Ew noodle dishes. They even have enticing Thai desserts like Mango with Pandan sticky rice and Coconut Custard with sweet sticky rice which I haven't tried but it next on my list to partake and try. In all, you can't go wrong with this place! The customer service is great, the vibe is chill, relaxing, and most of all the food is delicious!! I highly recommend. read more

I came here with a group on a Sunday evening, and it was pretty busy. There is a decent amount of seating in the restaurant. I wouldn't say the inside gives off a Thai restaurant, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. For starters, we ordered the duck wrap and the papaya salad. The duck wrap was interesting, but not sure if it was in the good way. The wrap tasted buttery, which was a little different than what I have had before, and the duck didn't really taste like duck and there wasn't much of it. The papaya salad was fine, but not the best I have had. It was a little bit spicy. For the main dish, I ordered the hang-over noodle (Khee Mao), which was I think their version of drunken noodles. I thought it was good, but it was definitely too spicy for my liking but that is my bad for not asking for a lower spice level. The noodles had a nice texture. I wouldn't say this is the best Thai place in NOVA, but I thought it was alright. read more

We came here for lunch on a Friday and we're immediately seated. They have a great lunch special so we ordered the chicken pad z eew and the shrimp panang curry both of which came with a spring roll! The spring roll was to die for and next time I'm definitely going to order more of those to start us off. The curry was also amazing and the pad z eew was flavored perfectly! read more

We have a couple go-to restaurants for Thai food and this spot is one of them in Arlington! - Satay Chicken -- paired well with the peanut sauce - Papaya Salad -- loved the spicy lime sauce - Tom Yum Soup - Spicy Sweet Basil Ka Pow -- added chicken - Basil Fried Rice - Sweet Mango w/Pandanus Sticky Rice - Thai Iced Tea The interior is nicely decorated giving an inviting ambience for any occasion. The portion sizes were well worth the price and everything comes out promptly and tasted amazing! The service was great and their staff were friendly and attentive. read more

Service here was pretty good! Our server was extremely kind and friendly. She checked on us regularly. Forgot a couple things at one point (sauces), but that's never a huge deal to me if I don't have to wait too long. Now for the food: It's a solid MEH for me. I ordered the kratiem prik Thai (garlic peppery), which comes with rice. This is my favorite Thai dish, which normally tells me all I need to know about a place. Got the lunch special at $14.95, which includes a spring roll. Paid $4 extra for Tom Yum, too. Garlic peppery: NOPE! It wasn't bad but the rice was overcooked and the dish, itself, was lacking flavor. I'm used to this dish being very flavorful and, dare I say, garlicky? This was neither. Added soy sauce and chili and it was still under seasoned/flavored. And at $14.95, which was only like 1-2 bucks less than the full entree price, I was not impressed. Tom Yum: lots of chicken but not as much flavor as I'm used to. There are better Tom Yuma in the area for sure. Spring roll: basic. Could've passed on it altogether. They put the sauce on it instead of serving on the side, too, in case that's not your thing. Thai tea: $5 but pass. The cup was so full of ice and the tea itself tasted like sweet orange milk with a hint of Thai tea. Decor: very cute and they have a patio! The floral decor was cute and clean. Mango mojito: $16. Yikes. These are almost city prices and it wasn't strong lol In all, not a bad experience but not an impressive one. Definitely wouldn't go out of my way for it. Not worth the $35 I ended up paying for it (this is for everything listed above except the mojito). read more

Everything is delicious! I can't believe I forgot to order dessert. Chicken Satay: 10/10 grilled to perfection it also comes with 2 dipping sauces. One is a peanut sauce and the other is a sweet, tangy and refreshing sauce. Hangover Noodle Khee Mao: 8/10. I ordered mild and it was medium hot but I fought through the pain. Panang Curry: 9/10 probably the best Panang Curry I've had in DC. You won't reject it! read more

Best dish on our first visit here was the duck rolls. I've never been much of a fan of duck meat, but these rolls were really good. I'd order them again. Soul Thai's interior is warm and inviting with rich wood and faux hanging plants. Service was great, our servers were smiling and welcoming. Our other appetizer was the fried calamari rings. These were fresh and hot and came with a sweet dipping sauce and a spicy dipping sauce. The Massaman Beef Curry was pretty good. Though it tasted great, some, but not all of the beef pieces were tough. The Khao Soi was very good. A little bit of the chicken was refrigerator cool, but it wasn't worth it to me to send it back. The sauce was great and I liked all the crispy fried noodles in the dish. I think that Soul Thai could cut the size of this entrée down a bit. It really is a hefty helping. JP ordered a Thai margarita. This creamy concoction was delicious. Loved the light sprinkles of dried lime and salt on the glass rim. Unfortunately, this drink is a special and will be only available this month. Soul Thai should consider making this cocktail a full time cast member. I also ordered the Thai Iced Coffee, which was excellent. read more

This is a nice neighborhood spot. This is a weird observation but something that impressed me is that they had all these hanging faux florals everywhere and normally those are huge dust collectors but these were completely dust free so they must be really on top of cleaning. I will say that we were sat at an odd table - they have three booths that share a wall with the kitchen and the wall has this open trellis work that goes straight through so all the kitchen noises, smells (including like soap smells) and anything venting came thru to our table like we were sitting in the kitchen and not in a good, chef's table way. We couldn't hear each other and asked to move so then they put us in this semi-private room off the main room by ourselves. I do not understand that design choice. As a result of being in the separate room I think service suffered a little. My other caveat is that this wasn't the most veg friendly menu for a Thai place (I'm pescatarian) Some of my favorite dishes, like massamun curry, automatically came with meat rather than a choice of protein, and the house specials were exclusively meaty. There were some other customizable options- curries and noodle dishes. But more limited than some other Thai places. I had had a big snack before we went and we also ordered appetizers so I ended up ordering a tom kha shrimp soup and a fried tofu appetizer. Honestly? This was really really satisfying and I couldn't finish so I would seriously consider that same combo if I came back again in a hungrier state. It is hard to believe that fried tofu can vary that much but this was especially good - fresh with good texture and am ample portion. Same goes for my soup. Really tasty and a nice portions for the price. My husband ordered a flat noodle dish that was similar to drunken noodles but slightly different and he enjoyed it and enjoyed that it offered some variety. We also got a papaya salad appetizer that was solid and not painfully spicy like in some places. Our grilled squid appetizer was lackluster - not bad, just not especially tender or flavorful - and that is the one thing I would recommend passing on. All in all I would come back here next time we are craving Thai because the food is good and portions are ample for the price. However, I might consider other places instead depending on the dish and/or vibe I am seeking. read more

We've come here twice, for my dad's birthday and my grandma's birthday. The space is cozy with cute and whimsical decor. I especially like the floral decorations hanging from the ceiling and the walls. The servers were very friendly and the food and drinks came out fast. My family is usually pretty picky since they usually only eat Vietnamese food but they like this spot enough to come back twice :) We're especially fans of the Tom Yum and Tom Kha, and the noodles are flavorful but not heavy or greasy. On both occasions they gave us free desserts, which is always appreciated. Definitely planning to keep this as one of my go-to Thai places! read more

Probably the Best Thai food I have had!! The place is so cute with all kinds of decorations, plants, words of wisdom and paintings and the greeters are so welcoming. We were a party of 6 so we called ahead for reservations. When we arrived our table was already set and we were seated in a private section of the restaurant. For appetizers we ordered Calamari and Spring rolls, which arrived pretty promptly. For our main course everyone ordered their own but I got the green curry with chicken and my daughter got the drunken noodles with chicken. Even after the first bite, I could tell this food was special and really enjoyed the meal. Since no one was sharing, the only dibs I made were at my daughters dish who was sitting next to me, so got to experience the drunken noodles as well. The portions are huge and though we were in no mood of sharing, none of us could finish their meals and we made the remaining to go. We had a nice chat at the front desk too, and I encouraged them to open a spot in Fairfield County, CT. So if they end up opening one, you all know who to thank!! read more

My friend and I decided to try this place for lunch today. The menu had a lot of my favorites. I love Thai food. For drinks I ordered lychee ice tea. It's not something I find in other Thai restaurants. I love lychee flavor so I went with it. The drink was very flavorful. On the sweeter side and loved the lychee flavor. They actually give you a small piece of lychee fruit. 5/5 for drink. For the entree, I ordered the massamam curry. 3/5 for the entree. One of the main reasons being it had lots of raw onions and big chucks of unflavored potatoes. Looked like they forgot to cook the curry with potatoes and onions and added it later just before serving. The curry and beef were delicious though. I wish it tasted like the traditional curry. The service was great. Ambiance was great as well. Parking was easy to find. read more

So good things first: the ambiance is really cozy and well-decorated. The service was also very friendly! My criticism: the biggest disappointment was their "Smiling Tiger" appetizer. The amount of steak provided was SO sad and I was a little embarrassed. It looked like little shreds of steak. Half of the plate consisted of boiled vegetables. If you Google "Crying Tiger dish", which is what the dish is based off, you can see that they are supposed to be thick cuts of steak. My friend's pad thai noodles were thin and not the right type of noodles used for pad thai. It was also overcooked so the strands of noodles were broken. I think if you are Thai or have been to Thailand, these dishes will disappoint you. The other dishes we tried were not memorable. read more

My friend and I originally tried to come on a Saturday night without a reservation and the place was packed already So we went to Kao Sarn (see my review) and came back here on Sunday night. My friend is vegetarian so after thinking about it, we decided to go all vegetarian. We started with the veggie summer roll, which is what I always get back home in California to start This is cold tofu and vegetables rolled up in rice paper and is served with shredded carrots and a peanut sauce. The peanut sauce came nicely, presented in a clever little cup. However, I far prefer the Tiber chilies and fish sauce, which is part of the four condiments tray that you have to ask for. I love me that hot chili burn ! Not every Thai restaurant carries these and they vary so it is something. I'm always sure to ask for as a sign of a good restaurant. This is a good restaurant My friend ordered the Penang curry with tofu while I ordered the vegetables Kapow with sweet basil. His was the better dish, but both were good. Especially with Thai Bird chilies in fish sauce! A word on the curries. They are not actually marked as being vegetarian, which, of course will depend on whether you add meat to them or not. However, when I look at the curry pastes from Thailand that are sold at places like 99 ranch market, the only creep paste that I have seen without shrimp in it is the yellow curry paste. We did ask and we were assured that the Penang curry sauce base does not have any shrimp in it. Perhaps sometimes it's better not to ask :-) For dessert, we were going to share the fried bananas, but we disagreed on the choice of ice cream, so we each had our own! He had his with the coconut ice cream and was very happy with it. I went with the chocolate ice cream and I was also very happy with it. The service is attentive and friendly, but they should take care to crumb the table before they bring you the dessert. I had to ask them to do that. It was Sunday so we didn't have any cocktails, but it looks like they offer a good variety They did have a Fess Parker wine on the list and I've heard some good things about that wine, but I generally don't order wine at these southeast Asian and East Asian restaurants. They don't generally store them very well. Of course, this place might. There is plenty of parking. Including some in the back. They have outdoor seating in warmer weather, which looks to be pleasant. The indoor space has subdued lighting and is not too noisy read more

The 7 of us had a great meal here recently. For appetizers, we shared chicken satay and duck rolls. They were great starters for what was to follow. 2 different noodle dishes, pad kra pao, eggplant, etc., I believe 6 mains in all but I've lost track. I do remember that they were all wonderful and there was enough food for everyone to get a taste (or two). Price and service were on point and the overall ambiance was great! read more

Came in on a relatively busy Saturday night. I was greeted immediately and sat pretty quickly. The space isn't large but seemed to have a very busy hum without being too loud. The restaurant is well decorated and plentiful seating available. The outside patio is so cute although with the rainy weather wasn't an option for that night. Typically when trying a new Thai restaurant I order two pretty standard dishes the pad Thai and the kha prao to establish a baseline of comparison. The pad Thai had a great lemongrass flavor and wasn't too saucy and definitely not dry. The kra pow beef is definitely not the star but wasn't too bad either. I have been back a few times for the pad Thai and it has been consistently good. The service has also been warm and welcoming which will keep me coming back. read more

Good atmosphere and a very slow Sunday afternoon. Food was good and service was nice. Forgot to take photos for a party of 6.

This is a cozy restaurant, on the non-busy part of Wilson Blvd in Arlington. It's located in a small shopping area. The service was very attentive, which I always appreciate. Here is what I ordered: - Veggie Spring Rolls : this was quite good. The rolls were well seasoned with veggies, and the sauce was delicious. - Veggie Drunken Noodles : this was ok. The noodles tasted good, but somehow wasn't as flavorful as I've had at other restaurants. - Mango and sticky rice : this was delicious. The green rice was a bit different from other restaurants I've had this dish. But I loved it. My husband loved his Spicy Basil Fried Rice. I want to have that next time I go there. Definitely give this place a try. I can't wait to go back. read more

This restaurant has a very inviting atmosphere. It's beautifully decorated and has a very comfortable seating area. It's very large so perfect for solo dining or large parties. The service was very friendly. It's in a small plaza with free parking. I had the lychee iced tea $5.85, 10/10, it had a delicious flavor, and the lychee and Thai tea was a perfect pairing and a refreshing treat. The spring rolls (3) with vegetables $6.95 were crispy, and the vegetables inside were very flavorful 10/10. I also had the chive dumplings that were fried 7.95. The dumplings had a really good texture and were tasty but now realize, I'm not a big fan of chives. It was a bit too many chives inside the dumplings for my personal preference. However, they still had a good taste 8/10. The Tom Yum soup with tofu was 6.95 and my least favorite item of the evening. I could not eat it. It had a very tomatoey taste and not the typical Tom Yum flavor I'm use to. I would not recommend this dish 0/10. For my entree I enjoyed the hang over noodles with vegetables $14.95. The dish was an extremely large portion, enough for 2-3 people. The noodles were very flavorful, I enjoyed the gravy, and the vegetables were very fresh. I was satisfied with that service and enjoyed most items that I ordered. I would recommend it for Thai food. read more

I got the coconut soup. It's my 'go to' in any Thai restaurant. I got it with tofu. There were exactly 4 mushroom slices in the whole soup. There was nothing else, no other vegetables, nothing, aside from the 4 mushroom slices & a handful of tofu slices that I requested. That soup was 98% broth. Huge disappointment! Especially considering the prices. However, the coconut custard with sticky rice was a 10 out of 10. Hence the three stars. read more
