I had a wonderful Happy Hour meal here. The food was very filling and I enjoyed it very much. We were served quickly and courteously. The happy hour specials were really good, and the non-happy hour prices were not bad for Dupont Circle. The aura of the restaurant is also nice, the walls are decorated in a vibrant and colorful manner. Enjoyed this restaurant!

We are visiting DC and we found this restaurant on the day we arrived. I ordered the Red Curry Beef, medium ️ and it was one of the best Red Curry dishes I have ever had. It was delicious! Perfect level of spice and delicious flavor.

Thai Chef Street Food was our daughter’s choice for lunch since she had never been there and she wanted to try it. She really liked it. Personally, Thai food isn’t my cup of tea, haha. I prefer Chinese food over Thai. But it’s a cute place, not far from the Dupont Circle Metro. We parked in a parking garage (1666 Connecticut Ave NW) a block away. I liked the Spring Rolls, they were cooked well and were tasty. There is also an upstairs if you want a more private dining area.

They definitely make Bangkok food style here. It was full when I went there but the foods came out surprisingly quick and delicious. Although, the chicken wings were sweeter than I expected. The drinks are creative and good. Both of the dishes I ordered were really good. I’ll definitely go back here again.

This popular Thai restaurant serves up great value at a break neck pace. The dining room is small but the turn over is quick and there are no reservations.

The inside is super cute and really aesthetic. We were originally seated at the bar but the waitress was really nice and moved us to a table when we requested it. The bar was super fun because we were able to watch the bartender make drinks.

I stopped by here for dinner with friends during my stay in DC. I LOVE this place, the interior is so cute and has plenty of seating, including the upstairs area. I ordered the chicken pad see ew and a Thai iced tea.

Just great, one of the best Thai food in US. Lots of flavor, with great mixers and atmosphere. Service is super fast and host is very attentive. Highly recommend this place!

The hardest working (and the most pleasant and hospitable) bartender on Earth served me both drinks and dinner and made a fantastic “Crazy Thai Lady” cocktail — a Thai version of a margarita on the rocks.
