The service was very friendly and thorough. The food was served fresh and it was very tasty! I forgot to take a pic of the food before digging in, but the presentation of the food was great. I got the Pineapple Fried rice with an extra fried egg on top, and my boyfriend got the Drunken Noodles with chicken. Highly recommend! The drinks in the picture is the Pink Coffee and the Phi Phi Island drinks. If you want a coffee with a sweet taste to it, get the pink coffee. The Phi Phi drink was just a refreshing pineapple juice. read more

ZumoThai - Pink Cofee and Phi Phi Island drinks - Asian Fusion Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

My friend and I visited this restaurant For lunch. I couldn't help but order the edamame, spicy and the veggie ramen. The edamame was divine. The veggie ramen was fairly good. I could tell the tofu wasn't marinated prior to preparation, but that's a personal preference. My friend really enjoyed the Shrimp Fried Rice. The service was very friendly and prompt. I appreciated the intimate environment and quick service. read more

I stopped by for a late lunch. The place was pretty empty, with only five other customers dining in and a few pickup orders coming through. I ordered the Thai tea lemonade and the chicken teriyaki bento box. The beverage was refreshing with just the right amount of sweetness. The bento box came with chicken teriyaki, a California roll, fried gyoza, a spring roll, seaweed salad, jasmine rice, and miso soup. The miso soup was a great starter. I also enjoyed the gyoza and spring roll. The teriyaki flavor on the chicken was nice, though I could have done without the stringy carrot and onion mixture. I didn't want the salad, but they don't allow substitutions, so that pretty much went to waste. Service was a mixed bag. The lady who welcomed me in was friendly; however, my waitress was curt and she neglected to bring me chopsticks and a fork for my entree until I asked for them. She did acknowledge her oversight. Overall, the food did the trick because I was hungry. It wasn't the best Thai food I've ever had, but it wasn't terrible either. read more

I do not say this lightly; this was by far the worst service that I have ever received in my life! This was my first time going here, and this will definitely be my last. Do not go to this restaurant if you value good service and a good restaurant experience. First, upon walking in, the server, an Asian woman, motions for me and my friend (who is Chinese) to sit towards the back of the restaurant. We head in that direction, and quickly realize that the table options (only 2 open tables) in that area were both bad. One was directly in front of the bathrooms, and the table behind that was practically in the kitchen! There was an open table in the front of the restaurant, where other customers were sitting as well, so we grabbed the table up front, which was directly in front of the restaurant entrance (and exit). It only gets worse from here. The server asks for our order, and we start by ordering two appetizers, the shumai and the fried oysters. Several minutes later, she comes back to take the rest of our order. My friend orders a 3 roll sushi combo that comes with miso soup, and a Thai iced tea. I ordered the pad see ew with duck. This server arrives with the fried oysters and the shumai. They both tasted good, however, the portions were so small. There were 4 fried oysters, and there were 6 shumai, which were the smallest shumai that I have ever seen in my life by far. For the amount provided, they were significantly overpriced. The server didn't even bring us chopsticks or offer to, just gave us each a fork. Then, she brings the 3 roll sushi combo that my friend ordered...nothing else. Normally, miso soup is provided before the sushi. That is a common thing, except on this occasion apparently. She still hasn't brought or offered chopsticks, but whatever, we just ate the sushi with our hands. She also doesn't provide any updates on the rest of our food, she essentially just drops the food on the table and leaves in an instant. My friend asked the server about the Thai iced tea and the miso soup, and the server says they'll be right out. Again, several minutes later the server comes back with miso soup (nothing else), sets it on the table, and walks away. No mention of my friend's Thai iced tea or my pad see ew order, or the fact that she brought out miso soup essentially after the sushi entree was finished! Meanwhile, while all of this is going on, other customers, who all happen to be white, are coming in after us, being seated, and served, having their food brought out together, including noodle dishes like the pad see ew I've been waiting for! While I was there, one other black couple came in to sit down and get food, and they were asked to sit at the back of the restaurant, even though there was a much better table open up front by where I was sitting. I'm not sure what happened with them, but I noticed that after a few minutes they left the restaurant and were audibly and visibly upset. An hour has gone by since we placed the order, and I asked my friend to go to the back and ask for the check (without the Thai iced tea or pad see ew that we never received) so we could pay and leave. My friend told me that the server asked in response, "would you like the Thai iced tea to go?" Really?! Again, no acknowledgement of the pad see ew, and now she's making a last ditch effort to keep $5 on our bill. If you could whip up a Thai iced tea that quickly to go, then where was it for the last hour? When I went to the back of the restaurant (with my friend) to pay, I asked what happened to my noodles that I ordered? Why did they never bring them to me or say anything about it? We had a whole conversation about the order when I placed it since they had pad see ew on their menu and duck wasn't one of the proteins, but since they have duck elsewhere on their menu, I asked for my pad see ew to be with Duck, we agreed on a price (which would've cost significantly (about 33%) more than the regular dish, so it's not like she forgot, and if she did forget, I would have so much more respect for her if she just said that as opposed to taking no accountability or acknowledging her or the restaurants failures. I have been to hundreds, if not thousands of restaurants, and have not had service this bad before. There is no excuse for this. I don't care if she was the only one waiting tables, there was like 5 tables with customers at any given moment, the restaurant is so small. That doesn't excuse the poor communication. Even if this was my first day on the job and I had never worked at a restaurant before, there is no way I would allow this to happen. The service was so abysmal that it feels intentional and racist. Again, this is not something that I say lightly. I was visiting DC for the weekend and was looking forward to exploring Chinatown, and now, after this experience, not only will I not go to this restaurant ever again, I'm hesitant to go to another restaurant in DC's Chinatown period. read more

The name is a misnomer, this is an Asian fusion restaurant, not a Thai restaurant. The staff was super accommodating to my friend who uses a wheelchair. They removed a chair and gave us a table near the front. Service was efficient, the server brought the hot sauce cart quickly when asked. The shumai were delicious but small even for an item that is always small, about the size of the tip of my ring finger. The ramen looked good, but I forgot to ask my friend how it was. My Udon and crispy duck was sort of one dimensional. A slightly sweet broth with Udon noodles and fried duck. read more

The day I stopped into this place was when the temperature in DC dropped from 60 down to 40 and it was windy and cold and it was really nice to find a cozy place to get out of the cold to warm up a bit. I had some late meetings and so lunch didn't happen for me until close to 3pm, which is when I came here. I ducked in here around 3pm, which was probably after the lunch rush and the place was pretty empty except for 2 other people dining. I needed to charge up my phone and the staff here were super nice and put me at a 4 top that had an outlet available, sweet! And since it was quite cold for me (Im from Phoenix), I opted for a miso ramen noodle soup with tofu. Noodle soup was decent, not as good as an authentic Japanese place, but since it was piping hot, it soothed my soul and the boiled egg was very good too! I slurped happily, got my phone charged, staff was very nice and helpful and I was tucked into a cozy, warm place, so I was a super happy and content when I left. Ramen plus tax and tip came to $20, pretty good deal. I'd come back here again to give other dishes a try too. read more

Massaman curry tasted like a sweet tart candy. Not sure how that is even possible. Would never come back. Everything else is also very mid.

Had ZumoThai takeout, we got the 5 roll special. My favorites were the Shrimp Tempura, and Salmon Avocado. The Tuna Avocado was also pretty good, and the Spicy tuna was on the spicier end for me. The fish in the sushi felt good and tasted fresh, but the avocado wasn't the best. Some of the pieces of avocado were a bit hard, and some had a bit of an off taste and a few dark spots, not terrible but definitely could have been fresher. We also had the Katsu Don which was very good! Had a good subtle sweetness and a great katsu breading. Pretty good overall, would return. read more

Nice people. Cute little restaurant. We were greeted as soon as we walked in. They had a lot of great things on the menu. There were 5 of us dinning and we were all able to find something we liked. I had the appetizer tempura which came with shrimp and mixed vegetables. I also ordered the Pad Thai. Both were very tasty and portions were large enough for everyone to share. Colleagues ordered a variety of rolls, soups, and other dishes. Everything was excellent. read more

This is a very small restaurant and if you are not paying attention, you will miss it. It is right before Walgreens and next to a Chinese store. The employees are very nice and greet you promptly. This place serves Thai, Japanese, and a mix of all kinds of Asian fusion. Even though the name Thai is in the name, this is not a traditional Thai restaurant. If you want authentic Thai, this is not the place, more Thai fusion. Food: Got the Pad Ka Prow with pork. The pork was cooked well and a generous amount of pork. I am used to a larger amount of veggies. For sure this has more protein than veggies. The rice was okay, not very fresh. The sauce was very sweet compared to other places and ran a bit too salty. This was the closest Thai restaurant to my hotel and I was having a Thai craving. read more

Came in for a quick lunch while at the WW Convention Center. Started with some gyoza which definitely were frozen, but okay-ish. Pork masaman curry was tasty enough and while it was supposed to be medium spicy it was much hotter which was fine with me as I was prepared to ask for some chili sauce. Dish was large for a lunch portion and was very filling. Service was pleasant and attentive. read more

4.5 for the amazing pad Thai that really exceeded by expectations. But 2.5 for the agadashi tofu Nonetheless, I enjoyed my time here. Also, that might be on me getting Japanese from mostly Thai runned place. I would love to come back for the pad thai soon!! Pretty much right off Chinatown gallery place metro. Restrooms are clean. The space is small and cozy- great for a 2-4 people (maybe not much bigger- doable but may feel more cramped?). Loved the people- they were very patient and helpful and friendly. read more

My husband was excited to take me to this Thai restaurant as he is a frequent visitor while in town for work trips. I had high expectations considering we're pretty big Thai fanatics. I was glad to see them open and ready for business on a Sunday early afternoon. When we got there, we were about one of three parties, we were seated right away and our server was very tentative. We were able to put in our order quickly after sitting down, and the food came out in no time. Both of us ordered some sort of fried rice and it was a ton out of 10. I very quickly saw wine. My husband enjoyed this restaurant. Staff continued to come back throughout the meal as soon as our water glasses got to about halfway empty. We didn't feel rushed throughout the entire process, and the staff deserve a 10 out of 10 as well. We will definitely be returning the next time. We are in town. I highly recommend you check this place out if you are looking for a great Thai restaurant. The restaurant is cozy, updated, and full of delicious food. Definitely check it out! read more

Very small place near Chinatown. Decided to give it a try after visiting the convention center. We ordered takeout to bring back to our hotel since we were tired. We got the Zumo fried rice, gyoza, spicy tuna roll, and red chicken curry. Everything was tasty except they forgot my rice for my curry. So that was disappointing. We had already walked back to the hotel and didn't want to walk back. read more

Loved this for lunch! We got a combo of their dishes - a bento box with teriyaki chicken, a sushi roll combo, and drunken noodles. Everybody really liked their meals. My sushi combo was great - miso soup, a salad with very good dressing (carrot ginger?), and three rolls: spicy tuna, eel avocado, and shrimp tempura. I enjoyed it a lot! The service was excellent! The servers were friendly and helpful, and stopped by frequently to see if we needed anything. The restaurant was clean and inviting. I look forward to coming back! read more

Really convenient place near the Chinatown stop. I thought the Japanese/Thai concept was not going to work, but this restaurant does. Ended up getting the pad Thai and it was one of the better ones in the area. Would go back. Also friendly service and very chill vibes read more

ZumoThai - Chicken pad Thai - Asian Fusion Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Really close to my hotel and a very cool "hole in the wall" kind of spot right behind Walgreens. I will go back for one main reason, the service. This is very clearly local and family owned and operated and they were so kind, so fast, and very helpful. The food is good! I had a sushi roll (spicy something special) and it was excellent. I also had drunken noodles which personally, I didn't think were spicy at all. Had a rich garlic brown sauce flavor and chili with what I think were handmade noodles. Very well prepared. I was a little surprised there wasn't a wait and I was the only one there. For the quality and service they should be MUCH busier. I'd definitely come back to try their pad Thai and more sushi. Prices were good for dc and they had plenty of options. Great experience. read more

ZumoThai - Asian Fusion Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Zumo Thai is conveniently located in the Chinatown district of DC. We were out enjoying the holiday market and festivities that downtown had to offer. All of a sudden we were craving some quality Thai food. Neither of us had been to Zumo Thai before but bring it was cold and getting late we were eager to have some food that would warm us up. If you blink you will this place, it is a small unassuming restaurant with an entrance right next to another Asian restaurant. Thai is one of my favorite cuisines but being vegetarian it's been a hit or miss for me since many Thai places use fish/oyster sauce. I wasn't pleasantly surprised to see the menu had a plethora of vegetarian dishes. Nearly all the entrees had a vegetarian option. And I'm not talking about just tofu, although I love a good tofu but eggplant and other options. The food was so good I only managed to snag pics of 2 of the menu items we ordered. Definitely try the Agedashi Tofu appetizer, this is unique and is dunked in a sauce umami/soy style sauce with a dusting of sea weed flakes. The pineapple fried rice with tofu and green curry is what we ordered for our entrees. The plain rice with the green curry was the most perfect sticky rice I've ever had. Green curry was flavorful, yet light and filling. There was something about it; most places green curry feels heavy. This was the perfect touch. Pineapple fried rice was tasty and likely the best one I've had in the DMV! You can taste that they use quality fresh ingredient and the meals are prepared made to order. Don't miss out on this gem if you are looking for Thai in the DMV. read more

Zumothai is a casual Thai place that's pretty popular. It took me about 30 min to be seated at lunch time. The staff was nice but clearly busy. I tried the following: Thai iced tea (5/5; classic and delicious), yellow tail belly, salmon belly and spicy scallop nigiri (3.5/5; fine. Fish tasted fresh but wasn't particularly satisfying. The fish to rice ratio was a bit off), tom kha (3.5/5; decent. Nice veggies included but I expected it to be a bit sweeter due to coconut milk. Somewhat disappointing). Drunken noodles w seafood (4/5; I got Thai spicy and it wasn't that spicy. The seafood was well cooked and plentiful. Veggies were cooked well but the noodles seemed overcooked and were in small pieces that were stuck together. The sauce was also a bit too sweet). Overall, I had a decent lunch but I'd definitely had much better Thai elsewhere read more

This is a nice mom and pop place in Chinatown and within a block of the Capital One Arena and right across the metro. They have a good mix of Thai and sushi dishes. But you have to have Thai! All the dishes we ordered were very good. Start with the spicy edamame. It really is not super spicy but it's flavorful. I'm sure the typical edamame with salt is good too because the edamame itself were decent size seeds, ie not skimpy. Go for the Tom Yum Ka soup with chicken and red curry with chicken. Both are very flavorful with fresh ingredients. You may want more rice because the first serving will probably run out before the curry. Another must is the Thai ice tea. The service is fast and friendly. Better yet... the prices were not pricey for the city. read more

I was visiting with my partner. The restaurant itself is not the cleanest. Bathroom had no toilet paper no soap -- I don't get how that's okay!!! The food however was a small but perfect portion of you're not trying to have leftovers. Still expensive for the portion size though. We both ordered the red curry but mine was tofu which was yummy. I'd go back but maybe only for carry out next time because I didn't feel the restaurant was clean to my expectations. Service took forever -- they favored large parties who were there for alcoholic drinks. We ordered a coke and once our food was out they didn't check on us. We had to call someone over to get our bill after 15 minutes of waiting. read more

I was craving peking duck and the usual place I go to was closed so I stopped in at ZumoThai for dinner. There's a grand opening sign in front of the restaurant but it's been up there for a least a year so this isn't a new restaurant. I asked for recommendations regarding duck and was recommended the crispy duck ga prao. I asked how crispy the duck was and was told it wouldn't be as crispy because it will be tossed in sauce so I asked for it on the side. When I received the dish, the duck was very thinly sliced and then fried so tasted tough and weird. The sauce itself was flavorful. The fried tofu was crispy but bland, definitely ask for more sauce. read more

The food came out staggered over 10 minutes which is okay but the last dish they got wrong. It's a simple mistake as they didn't hear my sister say the curry in the tonkatsu curry. Waitress insisted she heard it right (and our table of 5 was wrong) and we said fine just a side of curry. Figuring they'd not charge us or charge us for the dish we ordered as at this point we were all done eating. Manager, who wasn't around at the time, also insisted we'd ordered it wrong. Just so weird it was $5 on a $130 tab. It sucks as I'd id been back but so many other great Thai places in Thai area read more

Not my favorite. I ate here with friends after a movie. The pad thai was unusually sweet. It evoked the taste of sweet and sour sauce, which I've never experienced at another Thai restaurant. I would have preferred to order a different Thai dish, but when I asked about a substitution in the vegetable used for that dish, I was told that the change could not be made. That's also a first for me. There are many other Thai options, so I won't be going back. read more
