Close to Capitol Hill, this place is often packed during lunch, but that is because of the proximity, but moreover, because the food is fantastic!! The quick and friendly service surpasses the food.

Close to the Capitol building. My wife and I shared a plate of drunken noodles and some crispy spring rolls. The food was very good; very satisfying.

Loved the food ! The waiter basically forced me to add a 25% tip by showing me at least five times the 25% button. We left with a bittersweet feeling because the food was fantastic. To end on a positive note, the other waitress was adorable !!!

Really great food! It’s pretty close to the Capitol and to the metro stop too. The food is really delicious, portion size is decent, and the price is really good for DC. Probably one of the more affordable options for Thai food in DC city proper. Thai ice tea was good too.

Reasonably priced. The Panang curry I got was delicious!! I think this place seemed very authentic. The decor was quaint, and the food came out relatively fast. We happened upon it after getting off the metro, and I enjoyed our experience altogether.

A true hidden gem - cheap food and drinks in downtown DC! All the food I’ve had here is great. Duck Red Curry is my favorite Longggg happy hour! My only complaint is I wish they would play a little background music. When the place starts emptying out, it seems like EVERYONE can hear your conversations.

Great food and great service. Maybe can use some help with servers. Everything tasted great except the calamari.

THE place for inexpensive authentic as-can-be Thai food popular within the GenZ government interns who frequent this long-standing joint that survived the pandemic with good old fashioned delicious food. We love this place and it’s food and come here enough to know a good thing when we eat it. The drinks come heavy, the apps come fast, and the entrees never disappoint. Come here for the early crowd and Happy Hour specials. We had the spring rolls, fried wontons, yellow and red curries where you can adjust spiciness. Careful not to get ahead of yourself, looks can be deceiving.
