Washington PostApril 1, 2015The pumpkin curry garnered such a cult following since its inception on Halloween 2008 that it became a menu staple. The dish includes red curry, kabocha squash, coconut milk, chilies and lemongrass. Read more
iLuvtra1ls PAugust 2, 2013probably one of the best traditional Thai food I have had in DC. small place and set menu. Everything is delicious and some dishes could be spicy! Loved it. reservations highly recommended
AFAR MediaAugust 4, 2014A flavorful, 5-6 course chef's choice prix-fixe menu, which includes his signature Pumpkin Curry and Pad See Ew noodles. Reservations fill quickly, so book ahead online, and it's BYOB for drinks. Read more
Derek FlanzraichMay 28, 2017It's simple and amazing. The menu is price fixe and they just start bringing you food and seemingly never stop-- highlights were the pumpkin curry, chicken, and mango sticky rice.
Bunny BrooksJanuary 2, 2017Thai X-Ing is really fun! You don't even see a menu and they bring out really delicious foods.
Samantha MohrOctober 18, 2013Thai X-ing is nothing short of amazing. It's a real authentic Thai experience tucked on Florida Avenue. The meal is always filling and delicious, but save room for Mango Sticky Rice!
Katherine FortnerOctober 19, 2015Sunday's are completely vegetarian! They keep bringing you plate after plate, it's so much food, and so delicious!- Sarai JohnsonOctober 4, 2013Great atmos. Food is really good, but often extraordinarily spicy. Beware, bc it's chef's choice, so you kind of have to eat it even it's so spicy that your nose runs and your heart valves seize up.
MelodyDecember 5, 2011Hands down the best Thai resto in DC metro area! My Thai friend, who was with us, thought the same thing. The food was spectacular, authentic. Can't wait to try non-vegetarian meals next.
Morgan HainesSeptember 21, 2012The pumpkin curry, mango sticky rice, and papaya salad were my fav dishes. Random townhouse with old school decor but well worth it for the food. Delicious! Just remember BYOB!
Becky Eng-WongFebruary 19, 2016Prix fixe menu, served family style with proportions depending on how many are in your party. Hands down, the most legit Thai food in US.
Colleen NNovember 14, 2013From Eater DC: perhaps the most well known BYOB spot in the city, customers need to make reservations in advance to enjoy the perk of BYOB- Washington PostMarch 13, 2013Order the pumpkin curry. Tender kabocha squash is the sweet counterpoint to the fire and kicky basil in this traditional Thai red curry. Read more
Ana Marie 💃February 10, 2015Best Thai food in DC. No a la carte, fixed meals served family style, $30 per person, amazing every time.
Carlos MontanoSeptember 23, 2011There are a lot of good Thai places in DC, but this one is best. Get the chef's daily menu and bring a nice bottle of something (and pay no corkage fee). You won't regret it!
Sean HealeyJune 19, 2010This is the real deal. Serves Thai food as they do in Thailand - whole fresh fish, big bowls of spicy soup in the summer, lots of lemongrass. Bring cash. Bring your own booze, not sold here.
PoppyMarch 1, 2013Great food... So much, full to the brim! Also, hostess/waitress is very "orderly" (she knows what her job is and she does it well :)
Skye EarlsSeptember 21, 2013Amazing. Cute, unique, authentic, delicious. You eat what you're served. BYOB. Great price point.
VenuSeptember 13, 2014Please bring back the green curry short ribs from 2009!!! Otherwise, pumpkin curry is what these guys are known for.
Melissa BellFebruary 24, 2010We passed this dinghy basement and thought, hmm.. it's a dinghy basement. Turns out it is. And it's so amazingly wonderful. Order lemongrass soup. Eat whatever they serve you. Book in advance. Read more
Joseph GunawanAugust 16, 2012bring your own favorite Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, Pinot Noir or any good German Pilsner pairing with their spicy food.
Tyrus ManuelJuly 14, 2013Wonderful food in an eclectic setting. Like a supper club that's been around for years.
megan dunnJune 4, 2013BYO and the food packs some heat so think about pairing with beer and wine that work with spice.
Dori Grezlik-MarmannNovember 11, 2013Amazing, you can't go wrong! Remember its BYOB ( no corking fee) :)
- Jacqueline ArceFebruary 18, 2013Hands down BEST and most authentic Thai food in the DMV. It's BYOB as well.
GlenDecember 29, 2013Most Thai dishes are spicy and since these are authentic, be prepared for that.
- Danielle RicksJanuary 17, 2011They offer a 10% discount on Mondays at 5PM but you still need to make your reservations or takeout orders in advance. Enjoy!
Erik MoeJune 13, 2009call ahead. expect to spend all evening as though at a neighbor's house for dinner. be amazed.
