Their hot wok options actually look the best to me. Service is really quick too. Ordered carry out and food was ready for pick up within 15 minutes. I would actually say it's probably one of the best Thai restaurants I've eaten at.

Was seated by a delightful young lady, and found the decor and layout to be quite pleasing; modest by elegant. As for the fare, it was indeed quite worth the walk. Ordered a bowl of Tom Yum and the Pad Thai Mun Goong. The Tom Yum was solid and quite flavorful, a flux of tangy lemongrass with the oniony sweetness of steeped scallions, and enoki mushrooms to provide some heartiness. The Pad Thai Mun Goong was a chef specialty pad Thai made with stir fried rice noodle, prawns shrimp tomalley oil (a crucial element for this version), egg and bean sprouts, naturally topped with green onions, peanuts and a lime for squeezing, and this also was quite phenomenal. Savory, sweet, a little tingle of sourness from the citrus in the mid-palate, and the juicy, briny shrimp balancing the dense carbs and rich flavorful sauce. All-in-all, I was well pleased this visit. As this is Padaek's second location, I hope they don't expand too much further/quickly and compromise on quality.

Authentic Thai food! I've been dying for some Tom Kha and was so glad that they had it here. I came…read morefor 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.

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.

Parking was a challenge due to the major construction project they are doing in the neighborhood but we were able to find a spot and walk over from a few block away. We were seated right away and placed our order with the friendly server. They got my order wrong and had to remake it (ordered shrimp and got chicken). My friend enjoyed her curry chicken over rice and Thai iced tea. I also really liked the salad I ordered - only wish was there were double the skewers of shrimp, even if they need to raise the price. The food was good and they didnt rush us out despite being close to their closing time. I look forward to returning with my friend in the future!

Plenty of parking on the left side of the bldg, tons of available seating. Hostess/waitress was a hoot; very friendly. Suggested several dim sum items. Samosas (4, $12) had a nice crispiness and a thinner dough than one usually finds in samosas. Would get again. The duck roll (2, $13) is filled with crispy duck and scallions. Would also get again. Mango cashew slaw ($11) has a nice spicy warmth to it. The Chinese chive dumplings (2, $6) had a nice crunch. We also got a beer ($9). A nice canned and bottled beer selection. We also got the Thai beignets dessert. 3-4 dim sum items is a full meal for a couple unless you're *really* hungry. Will definitely return. You should go. Now.

However, that was the only fast service we got. We waited for 10-15 minutes and still no waiter came. I asked someone if he could get us water and he said our waiter will be right with us. When our waiter finally came, he did not apologize for the wait. All through the night, food was very slow in coming out. Entrees probably took 30 minutes to come out. The food was honestly not very good. The pad Thai was too sweet. However, I did appreciate that they put the large shrimp in the pad Thai. Their lychee dumplings sounded interesting but it was such a miss. The combination of sweet/tart lychee did not go well with savory meat. Their fish was just okay. It did not take on the flavor of the sauce at all. Ambiance was fine. It is a modern looking place with clean bathrooms

However, after eating it, I was having some slight symptoms as though I had been glutened- not my worst reaction, but definitely something. Perhaps it would be worthwhile to double check on cross contact (I don't always do that- though I'm a milder case of GF compared to some) or verifying it was tamari vs. soy sauce etc. ^Aside from this, I still enjoyed the meal!! I found it to be hot and fresh, particularly for carry out - and the service was fast and friendly. I may try this place again, but double check/verify some things with GF offerings first!

The country curry was by far my favorite thing and tasted very, very good. Nice and savory, well spiced, and had a ton of aromatics to brighten up the entire dish. There was also a lot of vegetable vegetables, mixed in to brighten up the entire dish. The curry reminded me of a good khao soi with a little more sweetness. Regardless, it was super super enjoyable. I also loved the pad as well; the sauce was thick and coated all the vegetables nicely with this light savory flavor; if I had to describe what it taste similar to most, it taste similar to those crispy noodles you get at Chinese restaurant coded with a little bit of thick gravy. This one was better though and again I love the vegetables that were served with it. The presentation was beautiful when it came out and the service we had was very good. We came here after a long day of work and were surprised at both the decorations, atmosphere, and service. We will definitely be back.
