Surprising atmosphere in the middle of Fairfax with a gorgeous patio where you can relax and enjoy the delicious Thai dishes. The coconut soup was loaded with fresh vegetables which were cooked just right. The spring rolls were crisp and yummy. The sea lover dish had juicy shrimp and scallops (which were a little over cooked). And the lamb and veggie dish was quite good. The lamb was tasty and the veggies were perfectly cooked, with the eggplant being our favorite. Meanwhile, the presentation of these dishes were delightful. Overall, we were happy to find this gem in the middle of Fairfax.

This is one of the best Thai restaurant I’ve experienced. The food is presented colorfully and tastes fantastic, boasting authentic flavors such as mango and chilly. The owner is incredibly friendly.

This is probably my favorite Thai food. I will just say I never have been a person who enjoyed Thai food. But Courtside Thai Cuisine has changed it for me. I am now a big fan. The folks are very friendly and inviting. There were a lot of regulars when we arrived and the owners knew folks by name which was a good sign. The restaurant is open Tuesdays thru Sundays and closed on Mondays.

A very charming thai restaurant hiding in plain site with excellent flavors. You will need to use public parking but it is on the street level so handicap access is not a problem.

I love Thai food and given all the good reviews I really wanted to love this place. Unfortunately the food was bland and had no flavor at all. My green curry tasted like water and had no spice. My friend said her drunken noodles were equally bland. The service and atmosphere are beyond excellent but sadly the food is just not up to par. The Thai tea was good but I was surprised to see it was $6. I should’ve asked how much it was before I ordered it since they don’t have a drink menu but rather tell you verbally what’s available.

We had a delicious meal at Courtside Thai last night. Sat outside and it was very pleasantly set up. The food was really good and did not seem like it came out of sauce bottle like a lot of restaurants. It was all really fresh and well prepared. Perfect job on the crispy basil. The whole staff/ family, was super pleasant too! Our first visit- we will be back!

I visited on a Friday evening to finally experience this seemingly well reviewed Thai food after passing by several times before. The interior showcases ample seating in a welcoming and clean open space with brightly colored walls. The exterior allows for a number of tables for those wishing to eat outside. Service reflects that which one would hope from a family-owned establishment. I was greeted by more than one person, including both what I presume to be husband and wife. The former oriented me to the menu assuring me of the fresh and authentic nature of the food, and the latter checked on me as I was eating and even gave me a remote control to watch TV as I ate at the bar. My food order seemed to be paced appropriately if not a little slow at the beginning for which the student serving me apologized with the busyness of the kitchen on a Friday.

Really disappointed. It was like they forgot the sauce on our pad Thai. Look how pale the noodles are! Looking at other photos of their pad Thai, there’s way more sauce. Not sure why they put barely any sauce on our noodles but it really feels like a waste of $18. I’ve never had pad Thai with essentially no sauce.

Hands down the best Thai food we ever had in the area. We like to try new things from the menu and they all never disappoint. For all of you spicy food lovers, they also have various hot chili sauces and they are so good! The customer service is also amazing, the owners are always so nice. Highly recommended.
