    7. Steamed Dumpling
    Zoya F.

    Delicious and authentic Thai entrees with friendly service. Any germaphobes out there should feel comfortable visiting; this place is spotlessly clean. My friend and I enjoyed everything at an early weekend lunch.

    Very wonderful hidden gem Thai restaurant in Springfield. Quiet and clean interior with comfortable seating options - booths and tables. Very friendly staff who checked in with us before the rest of our group arrived, making sure we were comfortable. The food was delicious - at the table we shared dumplings, red curry, crunchy pork belly, and pad thai. The servings were just enough for a hungry belly with no appetizers, with the exception of the pad thai - lots of volume there! Red curry medium spice wasn't too spicy at all, it was perfect. I don't visit this area often, but I am really glad we stopped in to try Thai Ghang Waan!

    Stopped here for dinner with my family and it was delicious! We got here around 630pm during a weeknight and it was already packed inside. Located near the Brookfield plaza tucked near Bonchon. We ordered the chicken larb, watercress salad with seafood, pad see ew with beef and duck red curry. Everything was delicious! I loved the flavors of the larb and the watercress salad, citrusy, herby and spicy. Our entrees took a little but I didn't mind me everything was made to order. The dishes were piping hot and overall had great balance of savory and heat. The pad see ew had a great wok flavor. The red curry was tasty, a little spicy from the red curry subtle coconut taste. The watercress salad was my favorite along with the pad see ew. I also want to talk about the vibes inside this restaurant. The aesthetic of the place is amazing and allows you to feel relax and enjoy your meal. If you're in the mood for Thai food, definitely try this place out.

    I chose this restaurant because most of our friends were in Springfield Va. Wow what a great find . Had to wait an hour to get out table as we didn't have any reservations . They didn't disappoint us. Food was delicious and just tasty . We were a group of 12 . Pad ka praw pork super tasty. Our meat was a bit dry . Drunken noodles was yummy plus Pad thai was very tasty . Calamari too good so was Dumplings . Our other friends ordered a variety of their curries they just loved it .Please make reservations .

    Probably one of the best Thai spots in the area. Everything we've tried on the menu was very good - papaya salad, crispy rice salad, the prawn pad Thai and crispy pork belly were excellent. Staff's very friendly and attentive. It's a great date night spot but definitely make a reservation.

    Thai Ghang Waan absolutely blew us away. From the moment we sat down we were treated wonderfully with caring, prompt service. We ordered a few beers and a Thai iced tea (of course) and the bottled beers were served with chilled ice mugs. My group of 5 decided to order a few things and share family style. We ordered the chicken larb, som tum, pork lad na, pork pad see ew, and koh moo yang. All were incredibly tasty and large portions which was a perfect amount to share. We also ordered sticky rice to accompany the koh moo yang which I highly recommend! Dishes were cleared without us having to ask and everyone was super friendly. I will be returning VERY soon.

    Walked in to order Carryout wanting to try Tom Yum fried rice - ended up trying a Special "Goong Gleur". (Lightly fried Shrimp & string beans in sweet Asian sauce. Pretty good but a bit greasy. Service was nice and quick. Place is nice.

    Small cozy restaurant in a strip mall near Springfield Mall. Went to it for lunch. Been a while since wife had the boat noodle soup and this place has it. The servers are friendly and helpful. Since it is relatively far and hard to get to without GPS guiding. We decided to get a selection to try. We got the Yum Woonsen, Koh Moo Yang (Grill pork strips), Pla Num Pla, Floating Market Noodle (Boat noodle soup) with pork, and Ba Mee Haeng (Dry egg noodles, very well seasoned noodles). The portions are generous and properly seasoned. Only minor miss for me was there is a bit too much raw onion in the Yum Woonsen. If you are looking for a friendly neighborhood Thai restaurant at an affordable price, well worth a drive to Springfield. Would definitely go back to try out some of their other dishes.

    We ordered a lot of foods and all of them were good!! After the restaurant renovated, it was so nice, cozy and clean looking. Nice to take your friends or family because all the foods were good portions for sharing. The servers were good service.

    This was our first visit to Thai Ghang Waan in Brookfield Plaza (love the retro 60s Brookfield sign at the entrance). Lots to like at Thai Ghang Waan. The restaurant was thoughtfully designed with a door immediately inside the front door, which is great for keeping cold drafts from entering the establishment. Thai Ghang Waan is immaculately clean so we felt kinda bad when we inadvertently tracked in salty brine from the sidewalk outside. They'll have to deal with this for a while because it appears the 10" of snow that fell Monday ain't goin' anyplace soon. Service was excellent. We liked how our friendly, kind and attentive server immediately brought out small plates, chopsticks, spoons and plenty of napkins along with the menus. During our meal, whenever the water level dropped in my glass, our server was right there to provide a refill. I really love that! We started out with an order of the steamed dumplings. The steamed dumplings were oh so delicious, made even better with the accompanying sweet soy sauce. BTW, ever since I had sweet soy sauce for the first time in Doi Moi in DC, I jump for dishes that come with it. Thai Ghang Waan's dumplings might, from appearance, remind you of shumai. For my entrée, I ordered the Phad Thai with pork. It was pretty good with plenty of pork and lots of crumbled peanut. The flavor was not bad at all, but I would have preferred a stronger hint of tamarind sauce. JP ordered the Phad Thai Ra Yong. I think of as Phad Thai Plus, because it was essentially the same as my Phad Thai, except it had (some) crab meat and two giant shrimp. I thought they were crawfish, but they were just unshelled big shrimp with legs and everything. While we absolutely will come back, we do wish they had timed the arrival of our entrees at the table a little better. JP's dish came out nearly 10 minutes after mine. There were no other eat-in customers while we were there, but several people came in to pick up take out orders.

    Garlic Lover - Chicken, dinner portion
    Lindsay D.

    Thai Ghang Waan is a little hole-in-the-wall Thai restaurant serving up authentic Thai dishes as well as some Western favorites. The place is always packed, but the wait isn't too long since the food comes out relatively quick but always hot and to order. The interior is warm and inviting just like their customer service. The wait staff is friendly and attentive. The noise level is average, so you don't have to worry about yelling over any speaker system or whispering so that you aren't breaking any still silence. My go-to dish is the garlic lover with chicken. The chicken is tender, the vegetables are fresh, and the garlic flavor isn't overly powerful since I for one would never call myself a garlic lover. The dinner portion is about 50% larger than the lunch portion, but both are at a great price for the quality food you get. Overall, highly recommend trying Thai Ghang Waan out whether you're looking for comfort authentic or Western Thai food.

    I met a friend for lunch at Thai Cafe on a Saturday. Parking near the restaurant that is part of…read morethe Springfield Mall is frankly a bit challenging. With a little persistence and a short walk, I found a spot. Walking in to the restaurant, there is a small greeting counter. No one was there and so we walked to the back. You don't see the tables when walking into the place, I suspect the kitchen is along side the hallway leading to the tables. The ambiance is friendly, casual with the tables and booths well spaced to provide privacy. The restaurant was relatively empty during our meal and the noise level was comfortable, allowing us to have conversation easily. Thai food is one of my two favorite and I am always looking for a new place to be inspired. I put Thai Cafe on my list of places that I'll return to. I started my meal with Tom Yum Seafood soup. The flavor was really excellent. Two minor things for me: I like soup warm and not hot. For me, the temp was perfect but for other people who like their soup really hot, it probably wasn't hot enough. The other issue is 'how spicy does this restaurant prepare their food?' The soup was 1 pepper, which was a bit milder than I prefer, but accurate. I added a bit more spice. I chose the vegetarian Kapow Pak. The dish is prepared in a brown sauce which frankly isn't my favorite. But it was really good. The veges were fresh, crisp and crunchy, and the tofu was wonderfully lightly fried. The dish is described as medium spicy, reasonably accurate. My friend chose the Pad Woon Sean with chicken. I didn't try it but he said it was a 10/10. The staff were friendly, helpful, and helped me select my dish. This is a family business that's been open for about 30 years. The servers were totally wonderful. I will certainly be back.

The flavors were all on point & delish and you can adjust your spice level, which I like because I am all about the Thai spicy!

The menu was huge (which actually was three separate menus). We started out with Crispy Wontons, Tom Kha soup and Tom Yum soup. The delicately thin Crispy Wontons were tasty. The Tom Yum soup was very good. The flavor of the spicy Tom Kha soup was also very good. Even if it's traditional to be prepared this way, I didn't like the hard pieces of lemongrass in the soup I had to pick out. I ordered the lunch special pork Phad Thai. With bits of pink-tipped barbecued pork the smoky flavored Phad Thai was good, even if it was served on a plate that was a tad too small. The Gai Tod crispy chicken came with a yellow curry sauce. The perfectly seasoned curry sauce was delicious and the chicken excellent. My Thai Iced Coffee was excellent. The best part of our meal was the mango sticky rice for dessert. The mango was sweet and ripe and the rice with condensed milk was wonderful. We do wish that they hadn't brought out entrees almost immediately after our appetizers. That made for a crowded table.

When the Pad Thai arrived, I was also pleasantly surprised with the taste; however, two things struck me as very odd -- the thin noodles and white color! It did not have the familiar reddish look of tamarind which I thought was essential for Pad Thai. Regardless, it was delicious and I ate everything. Not a single morsel of food was left. If i weren't eating with polite company, I would have probably slurped the remaining dressing from the salad bowl. I'm definitely coming back and it shouldn't be difficult because the prices seem fairly inexpensive.
