Ridiculous price. I used to come here once a week and already found it kind of expensive, but I rationalized it as a "nice to have" option. So whatever. Now it's over $15 for fried rice...at a smaller portion than what they used to give me. Rice is not an expensive ingredient, and this is 98% rice. So why is it over $15? This cost me nearly $20 after tipping.
We visited the VA area for Memorial Day weekend and stopped by Thai Square for lunch. I ordered the eggplant with basil and shrimp dish, my daughter ordered beef pad thai and my bf ordered spicy pork belly with Chinese broccoli. I enjoyed the freshness of the food that was served. My eggplant dish was super delicious. It was fresh and the sauce isn’t something that I am used to tasting in Thai restaurants. My bf’s pork belly dish was too spicy for me. Even he said that it was hotter than most Thai restaurants that he has eaten at. My daughter enjoyed the pad thai. They used thin noodles which is different but there was still a lot of delicious flavors in the dishes. It had a personal touch to it that I enjoyed. The place was clean and it wasn’t crowded with people. Towards the end of our lunch, more people started walking in. Prices were reasonable and definitely a place I would like to visit if ever I am in the area again. If ever you are in the area and enjoy Thai food, it’s worth giving it a try.
I love Thai Square back then, It is even better now. I moved out of the area for a couple of years and now it changed alot. The decor, the food. I got a bunch of appetizer dishes that is enough to fill me. The fried flounder was delicious, the mussels are very flavorful, the papaya salad is on point, flavored just right. There is this fried fish with mango, a must try. Overall, this is my first choice for Thai food. I highly recommend this spot!
Visiting two weeks in DC from California for the Folk Life Festival. A friend living in the area suggested Thai Square Restaurant. Thai food is a long time favorite, and being a vegan I usually call ahead to be sure that at least a good amount of menu items are available for my dietary preference. The gentleman who answered the phone was very polite and told me that they can substitute the traditional fish sauce with soy sauce. When my friend and I arrived, we had fast friendly service to be seated, the server answered our questions. Throughout the dinner, service was excellent. When trying a restaurant new to me, I often order Pad Thai as a gauge for comparison. I ordered the vegetarian Pad Thai without egg, and asked for tofu to be added. First, the crispy spring rolls were some of the best I've had. When served the Pad Thai I found this dish to be the best I've had for texture and flavor as well as the noodles being thinner than most. It was a large portion, excellent texture & flavor with a reasonable amount of additional tofu. I was glad to add that I planned on saving room for dessert. We shared the Sticky Rice with Mango, another menu item that I gauge a restaurant by. It was also the best. I will come back next time I'm in DC area.
I enjoyed this restaurant until I found a long string of hair inside the spring role. I know for a fact it was someone from the restaurant's hair because: (1) I do not have long hair and (2) it was actually inside of the spring role once I cut it open. When I informed the manager of this, his response was to offer me a free spring role. My response is to never return.
Great little place to visit while on trip to DC. While there don't forget to order the Thai tea, Drunken noodle and pad Thai. Original Thai experience and the drunken noodle is out of the world spicy!
First time at Thai Square on Friday night. Very busy but luckily we had reservations. Very big menu with lots of variety. Came here specifically for the fried Rockfish which was delicious. Warning it will take a long while for the fish like 45-50 minutes so order appetizers. Will be back to try more.
Definitely the best Thai place I've been to in and around the DC area. I lived in Asia for several years and had been to Thailand a number of time. This place is IT! The staff were also friendly. You can't beat their lunch prices, especially nowadays. The Masaman Curry and Drunken Noodles were the bomb.com. Don't go anywhere else... Eat here!!!
Delicious! THE BEST crispy duck in the DMV. Also amazing Thai iced tea, curry, etc
The best Thai food in DMV. Have been many times. My brother lived in Thailand for 15 years and taught me about authentic Thai food. We both agree this is def the best!!!!
