Paragon Thai

FYI - I am typing up this review while eating the food from Paragon that I ordered for dinner tonight. First, hats off to @UberEats delivery driver Maria who delivered the food on time. Second, I needed to type this review right atm because I didn't want to forget. I ordered the marinated pork with sticky rice, massaman curry and a Thai iced tea. The massaman was what I expected and hoped it would be. In many other places I've ate from, the Massaman tasted very different. But I didn't want to write this review because of the Massaman... if you haven't tried it yet, you need to stuff Paragon's marinated meat into your mouth followed by a ball of sticky rice. The perfect blend of salty and sweet that glazes over the fatty pork is seriously mind blowing.

We stopped here to eat after a visit to the zoo. It is in the shopping center right next to the exit for the Cleveland Park Metro station. Very quick and delicious food. I had the shrimp ka pow (they can adjust the sauce to be mild or medium spice level). And I also tried the chicken pad see ew. Both were tasty.

Paragon Thai is a cozy little Thai restaurant nestled in a bustling strip mall near Cleveland park, Washington DC. The food was great and staffs were very nice and attentive to details. Crispy fried food was just right, for example, we ordered curry puffs and crab rangoons. You can see from the plates that , the pieces were golden brown and have no excess oil which depicted good quality deep fried food. I can vouch for the crispiness and the taste 😬 .. the spicy salad was great as well .. I have tried other stir fries and mango sticky rice which were also awesome. if you are in the area or thinking of a quick and tasty takeout, give them a try. Highly recommended!!!

5 stars for the food, 3 stars for the service. The food here is amazing, I almost always get the spicy fried rice which is fantastic, and I recently tried the panang curry which was also very good. The service however is not great. It seems as though they only have one waitress so she may just be overworked but she's not usually been very pleasant, and while the food comes out very quickly, it's hard to get her attention if you ever want to order anything else, she also has never or rarely refilled our cups of water after she first pours it. But if you're ordering takeout, I'd definitely recommend this place!

I absolutely love this restaurant. Most recently I placed a pick up order and it was perfect. I ordered chicken satay skewers with peanut sauce and Curry potato puffs with their cucumber/veggies vinegar sauce. All of the employees are extremely kind and hardworking. The food is delicious. I'm looking forward to dining in soon.
