I finally gave in to Alexis K's wish to try out IMM Thai. If you have read my other reviews you will know I am not a particular huge fan of Thai food. With that being said I found this place to surpass my expectations. My girlfriend and I ended up ordering three dishes which were the Hide and Seek Chicken, Short Rib curry and the cracked black pepper shrimp. Three dishes split between two people was more than enough. The food took awhile to come out from the kitchen (~30 min) but the waitress kindly assured us it was coming. The lag was due to the the short rib curry. We were informed from the waitress this dish takes awhile to cook. The Hide and Seek chicken was my favorite dish. This dish reminded me of chicken biriyani an Indian dish. The rice was very flavorful and I enjoyed the green sauce you drizzle on top of your chicken. The short rib curry was also very flavorful with tender beef chunks, it had a hint of sweetness and spiciness. The spices complimented each other well. Lastly the shrimp dish was definitely seasoned with a lot of black pepper which is what the dish name implies. They were not joking around. I found the black pepper to be a bit overwhelming but that did not take away too much from the dish. It was still tasty and there were ample amount of shrimps provided. I hear they are expanding and opening a second location in D.C. I hope the food is still as tasty the next time I come around. I shall be back soon. P.S. Happy hour is from 4-7 everyday. If you are a fan of Singha it's $3 a bottle during HH.

Larb Gai Pineapple fried rice Drunken noodles (chicken) Basil fried rice (shrimp) Thai iced tea The outside appearance of IMM is very modest, but there is nothing modest about their food. The larb gai was spicy and tangy. It went very well with my Thai iced tea. My husband is very picky with his food, and does not like onions. He punished his drunken noodles. There was absolutely nothing left on his plate, which was a VERY generous portion. He said it was the best drunken noodles he has ever had in his life... I laughed it off, but he made me try some and I was impressed with how fresh the vegetables were, and the texture of the noodles. They weren't soggy, mushy, or clumped together, but chewy and flavorful. My sister ordered the pineapple fried rice, and she said it was very good. It had a hint of spice from curry, and some sweetness from the pineapples and raisins. IMM's pineapple fried rice comes with asian sausage, and I think some pieces of ham. She ordered her food with shrimp, and they were HUGE. She couldn't finish her food, so she asked for a to go box....which surprised me because she never takes food home. When I asked how her food was, she replied, "Yummy." I ordered the basil fried rice with shrimp, and the first thing I noticed was how crispy the onions and peppers were. They weren't raw, but not fully cooked. It was the perfect in between that gives you just enough crisp, with a hint of warmth. Again, the shrimp were HUGE. I think my dish was the best out of the three main dishes we ordered, but my husband and sister say it's theirs. You be the judge! Do not judge a book by its cover, ladies and gentlemen. IMM is a hidden Thai pearl in a sea of Korean restaurants.

I've always wanted to tried this place I'm glad I did...I did ordered duck roll and drunkin noodle...duck roll was my first it was pretty good and drunkin noodle portion was generous lots of veggies I liked it compare to other places... Interior wise is nice modern decor...a hidden gem next to korean shops this used to be soju bar place when I grew up...
(4)Rosita C.
Not impressed and costly. Mediocre food. Salty not spicy. Having lived in Thailand I can think of several Taii restaurants in the area that are better.

Don't be fooled by the dark and small exterior of this restaurant. When I walked into this place, I was surprised by the décor, food, and service of the restaurant. The server was so friendly and attentive to our needs. She was helpful in helping us pick our food and she was very knowledgeable. The interior is modern, clean, and simple. They had a full bar and seating was spacious. I inhaled their food because it was so good. I got their duck wraps for appetizers, chicken pad Thai, and crab soup. Their duck wraps were delicious and worth a try. They were wrapped with green onions, duck, and hoisin sauce. So flavorful! Tasted like pecking duck-- Their crab soup had chunks of real crab meat. This was so delicious too. Yay! Love that I found a new go-to-Thai restaurant!

One of the best meals I've had in a long, long time. I've dined at Imm Thai once before and had a solid experience, but tonight's dinner was SO f!@*ing good that I'm compelled to update my review. My dad ordered for the table in his usual aggressive manner, and I'm so glad he did. We had some of the same items as we did on my first visit, so I'll just give a quick run-down of my two favorite dishes of the night. - Hide & Seek Chicken (Kow Mok Gai): This dish is absolutely DELICIOUS. The rice has a subtle curry flavor to it, but I tasted a hint of coconut milk in the rice as well. Addicting. The chicken that rests on top of the rice was incredibly moist and well-seasoned. A magical sweet, savory sauce (aka crack) is served on the side and pairs really well with the rice and chicken. By the time I got around to tasting this dish, I was pretty full, but I could. not. stop. eating. - Duck w/ Basil: Crispy boneless duck breast served in a garlic/basil sauce. This stuff seriously hit the spot. I was half expecting for the duck to be dry, but no - it was tender and moist. I still highly recommend the Duck Rolls (appetizer), Pork Belly Salad (appetizer), Cracked Black Pepper Shrimp, Chef's Secret Fried Rice, and the Pad Thai. I'm not really a huge fried rice fan, but Imm Thai does such a great job of maximizing flavor and minimizing the greasiness that is typical of most fried rice dishes. Imm Thai is one of Annandale's hidden gems. The restaurant is pretty low-key from both of my experiences; I don't think very many people know about it and it's quite easy to overlook the small establishment while driving down Columbia Pike. A part of me wants to keep Imm Thai my little secret, but that's just me being selfish :p I highly, HIGHLY recommend Imm Thai as it has become one of my favorite Thai restaurants in the DMV area. - FYI: Imm Thai is opening up a second location in DC soon! - Also, they deliver if you're feeling a little lazy

Good Thai food for a reasonable price.I highly recommend their lunch specials which is a steal below $8.00 price.
(4)Evie S.
I really liked their Tom Kah soup. The rest of the food I got was good too. The atmosphere is nice and comfortable. FYI for anyone who cares though: their papaya salad has fish sauce and the filled green leaves have shrimp even though both are marked as vegetarian on the menu.
(4)Irene C.
Service was slightly slow. Our waiter seemed like he was new, when we asked him a question he would leave and come back with the owner. Happy hour ends at 7pm, my wine tasted slightly sour/old. Crispy Flounder and pad see ew was tasty but nothing stood out for me to come here again. The papaya salad was good but definitely not 'thai' spicy. Overall, food was average for the price. I did notice all the patrons while we were dining were Americans and it is a little out of place in Annandale. Overall, there are much better thai restaurants with faster service and much better food that I would frequent before I come here again.

I've been quite curious about Imm Thai Cuisine, as I've always walked by it to go to the other Korean eateries in the same plaza; it's set upstairs (up the rickety steps) of a house look-alike (you can enter from the back from the parking lot, or enter off of Columbia Pike). When the hubs and I entered, we were surprised at slight modern-look; however, we weren't fans of the smell of the place, as it was pretty potent (fish sauce-like). The menu was extensive, offering items such as appetizers (calamari, meatballs, etc.), soups, salads, entrees, fried rice & noodles, Thai Street Food (roasted duck egg noodle, noodle and chicken green curry, etc.), and chef's specialty items (duck with basil, choo-chee, etc.). The hubs and I started off with Imm's Duck Rolls (a roti-like pancake filled with sliced duck, cucumber and scallion slices, drizzled with a plum sauce; the pancake itself was okay, but a little bit dry; I wished there was more sauce, as there wasn't enough for the rolls); Chicken Panang Curry (I was surprised that there were zucchini slices in there, which was kind of odd; the curry itself was thick, but the taste was slightly watered down, and not as creamy and peanuty that I usually prefer it to be; this came with a pyramid-shaped jasmine rice); Chef's Special Fried Rice (contained an ample amount of shrimp and chicken, some raisin, and topped with a sliced thin egg omelette; the fried rice itself tasted pretty okay, and I liked the raisins in there; I was not a fan of the shrimp, as it was not fresh and it had a extremely 'seafoody' taste to it T___T); Chicken Pad See Ewe (I enjoyed this dish, as the wide rice noodles were cooked perfectly, and the flavor was delicious; however, I was confused why there were two different types of broccoli in this dish??? Sticking with the Chinese broccoli would have sufficed!); Shrimp Pad Thai (I was not a fan of this dish, as the taste was extremely different from what I'm used to - it had a weird combination of flavors that was just not flavorful, and it was more on the bland side; in addition, while the shrimp were plentiful, they were not fresh); the Hide and Seek Chicken (otherwise known as 'Kow Mok Gai,' both the hubs and I were confused, as this was literally a Middle Eastern Chicken and Rice dish; the rice itself was biryani-like with two drumsticks of the chicken; while the chicken appeared to be dry, it was actually tender enough; however, the dish itself, while reminiscent of such a cuisine, was a little less flavorful); and, we also tried the Thai Iced Tea (I was surprised at the generous glass that it came with; I thought the drink was pretty okay, but the hubs wasn't a fan, as it was more coffee-like). I think requesting the dishes without the meat/seafood (it was just too overwhelming and thickly-cut) would be wise, and requesting extra plum sauce for the duck rolls would be good. Service was very sweet and friendly, and there were some locals coming in to dine-in. I'm glad I was finally able to try this place out, but will not be coming back as I have my favorite Thai eateries! +Imm's Duck Rolls (request for extra plum sauce) +Chef's Special Fried Rice (request for extra raisins; no need for chicken/shrimp) +Pad See Ewe (no need for meat) +overwhelming amount of thick-cut meat T___T +not fresh seafood T____T +friendly and sweet service :D +located to the east of BonChon (up the stairs); another entrance off of Columbia Pike

I'm glad we stopped and tried this place. It was great. It's a modest restaurant with a lot of good food to offer. The food was awesome and service was great too. It's clean and very presentable. I wish them good luck. We are definitely going to try more in the menu.
(4)Holly S.
I normally love the heck out of this place, often ordering from here at least twice a week. Last night I ordered some lettuce wraps to go and it was packaged so stupidly. The lettuce cups were placed on the bottom of the bowl and the hot mixture of chicken and veggies were heaped on top. Now what do you think is going to happen to the lettuce? Of course it became hot, wilted, and unusable. Common sense people! Come on now! I definitely didn't order lettuce wraps just so I could eat minced chicken with a fork... Lesson learned: check my to go packages prior to leaving the building.
(3)Beth O.
Price is right, place is convenient (I'm a fan of the online ordering), and the food is delicious. Hope this place sticks around for a while.

I came here one evening with one of my girlfriends because we both love thai and heard some good stuff about this place. IMM Thai is a small cozy thai restaurant nestled in the Giant shopping center in Annandale. Upon arrival, the waitress was really friendly and we were seated right away. We started off with calamari and some Tom Kha soup. We both ordered drunken noodles with chicken and thai tea martinis. The calamari was decent, the tom kha soup was really good. We both enjoyed having the soup the most. Our martinis tasted a bit like thai tea but not such a great choice or alcoholic beverage. The drunken noodles were just ok. Kind of not the flavor I was use to. My friend told me I had to order some other stuff, but I won't take this place off my list just yet since my friend told me I had to order some other stuff that were pretty good last time they went. So I will come try this place again, especially since everyone was so nice and friendly. Maybe next time I could try like pad thai or any of the other special items on the list my friends recommends. I will update this the next time I go.

The outsides and insides couldn't be bigger contrasts. From the outside this place looks like a dump, non assuming building, definitely nothing special to look at. The inside is surprisingly nice. Nice modern look, giant open window that really opens the place and a simple but sleek bar. Only issue with the set up is the place is small so you can be distrubed by other patrons. While I was dining, there was an obnoxiously loud group that lessened my experience. Service was very pleasant. As I came just after opening there was only one waitress working the entire restaurant. She was friendly and helpful. Food was okay, started with the duck rolls, they were crisp and duck was well prepared. For the entree I had the sweet and sour chicken, chicken itself was a little on the bland side. Sauce had a nice flavor with a decent kick on the end. Vegetables were cooked well and add greatly to the overall presentation. Definitely a cute little place to get a nice Thai meal. I imagine I shall return in the future to try a few other dishes.
(3)Faisal S.
A tiny Gem tucked away in a strip Mall area but excellent service and food. Be prepared to wait for your food and enjoy the Company because food is freshly prepared by the Aunt. We have always tried something different and come away very pleased.
(4)Mike H.
This isn't just the best Thai place in the area, this is now our favorite restaurant in town. The spicy wonton appetizer was fantastic, and lately we have been ordering off of the 'Thai Street Food' menu, and it is really fantastic. Hole-in-the-wall place near the Giant grocery store, but do not miss this place!
(5)Tay L.
This place was a disappointment for me. The cabbage in the egg rolls weren't chopped that when you took a bite, all the inside came out together which was difficult to eat...the Pad Thai noodles were so thin like the pho noodles and way too wet for my liking. We went during happy hour but the server did not apply happy hour pricing so make sure you check before paying!
(2)J K.
This is one of the rare restaurants in the Washington DC area that has the dish Mieng Kham (also sometimes spelled as mieng kam, miang kham, miang kam). It's a very unusual Thai "street food" to find at a restaurant, but it's a refreshing mix of flavours and textures. Their mieng kham is a vegan version with "green leaves filled with roasted peanuts, pieces of limes, shallot, ginger, roasted coconut shavings, and a home made sauce which is likely a palm sugar-based sauce. When ordered as takeaway or carryout, they give you six pre-arranged servings in a box for $4.95 (see photograph), but when ordered in the restaurant, they provide the individual leaves and ingredients for the customers to put together themselves. It can be fun to make these "leaf packet" snacks so long as you know what to do. Other restaurants or stores may include other ingredients like little dried shrimps, thai chilis, garlic, mango, or cashews, but this place keeps it vegan. When you arrive here, you might be turned off by the outside decor, but it's much nicer indoors. The service is a bit slow, but their food seemed pretty authentic and they had a very good menu selection.

I loved the drunken noodles with beef and it was to die for. I asked for spicy and they didn't disappoint at all. It was by far the best drunken noodles I have ever had. By the way I liked the spicy going in not coming out. ;) (be aware) Also you must try their house drink I for get the name IMM something :)
(5)Jane P.
My favorite go-to Thai restaurants in Annandale! I've been here a few times & also ordered carry-out & I've never been disappointed. I've ordered the Tom Yum Soup with Shrimp & asked it to not be too spicy & it was delicious. I've had the Chicken Pad Thai which was a huge portion & had plentiful of chicken. They use thinner noodles, but I actually really like it & it's the perfect flavor (I've had bad Pad Thai before, so I'm picky about where I get my Pad Thai from). The Pineapple Fried Rice is a great choice, it has a generous amount of Chinese sausage, ham & jumbo shrimp & not an overwhelming amount of curry flavor. The service is very friendly & attentive when dining in & picking up carry-out orders. Overall, I love this Thai restaurant! The location is random but give it a try! Small, modernized interior but very clean. Generous portions & great service. Would definitely recommend this restaurant to friends & will be returning for many future yummy meals!
(5)Amy T.
Fresh, fast, tasty, traditional. Sleek and clean environment with several tables and fully-stocked bar makes Imm a good choice for carry-out or dinning-in with a group of any size. Any of the yummy lunch specials or a cup of the Tom Yum will nourish you without denting your wallet, too!
(4)Diep P.
The food here has a unique taste. Crispy duck with tamarind sauce and cheese cake tempura with raspberry sauce are out of the world

What kind of a professional kitchen allows rocks to pass through into their finished entrees? Imm Thai's. Our dinner party found rocks in a noodle dish. Avoid this disgusting place and find a better, cleaner restaurant. We ordered carryout. It took 90 minutes for them to get to us. By then the food was cold. They also failed to delivery one of our dishes. Then, a member of our dinner party took in a fork full of noodles and bit into a rock. He quickly got up from the table grabbing his mouth. He spit out the rocks and they clinked down on his plate. There were two. He was lucky he didn't chip a tooth. We called Imm Thai and their management was skeptical, which I can understand, but they were also hostile and combative. There were no apologies given even after we offered to send them pictures of the rocks, an offer which they declined. They have absolutely awful customer service. They lied to us and said they would refund the dinner on the condition that we allow their driver to pick up the remainder of the dinner. We obliged them, but were never given a refund. I will never eat here again. I sorted other reviews and found similar accounts of customers finding foreign objects in their food, like long strands of hair, and similar encounters with awful customer service.
(1)Adiyba A.
No I did not just pay $20 for Short Rib Massaman Curry and I got sweet beef broth with lots of peanuts, large slices of onion, pineapple slices and what appears to me boiled dough like dumplings and not potatoes!!! The only reason they got 2 stars is because it came with 3 decent size pieces of beef. I ordered to go and I got home ready for what I am used to for Mussaman curry. Nothing like the Thai food I'm used to. The sauce should be thick and creamy and flavorful. I've never had it with so many peanuts and then the pineapples??!!! I'm all the way disappointed. Especially since I wanted sushi but my spot was closed. Coulda had a V8!!! Maybe the place is as good as the reviews but don't order this dish.
(2)Shawn S.
I've eaten here once and gotten take out several times, and I've had nothing but good experiences with it. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but I'm really glad I decided to try it one night because it has a really nice atmosphere inside.
(5)Marshall M.
Fill yourself before head into this place, because take another live to bring food to your table. I went to this place because my friend told me about real Thai food, everything in there make you feel you're in Thailand. I don't think so. I showed a few picture on yelp that look yummy to server, but she replied that wasn't available for today. 5 of 5 none of their picture on yelp can't be served that day. So disappoint. So long Imm.
(1)Roanna O.
So first night we had the Tom Kan soup. So sweet we could not eat it. The main courses were very good. The server was very kind and hard-working but they were short staffed. I ordered delivery the next night. The Payong curry dish from the night before was nowhere near as good. it was watery and lacked real flavor. The fried rice dish was okay but pretty greasy. I would not order from there again because of the lack of consistency.
(3)Valerie D.
This place gave me a reason to write a review. I've gone twice so far. The first time was when I needed a place to hold my birthday dinner and they helped me out so much the night before- I sat down with them, they helped me make a menu for my guests and I had almost 30 people attend. The food is fantastic, the family/staff are so nice, and clean and modern setting. I felt so grateful that I found this place for my birthday :) they even gave me a bday surprise dessert I didn't know was coming. Then my 2nd time was for lunch. Delicious. The food looked and tasted great and portions are perfect. I had the lunch special panang curry (less than $8) and Thai iced tea- one of my new favorite drinks. I highly recommend Imm. You will enjoy it for sure!! Thank you Imm Thai Cuisine!
(5)Nimia M.
Love this place! The food is so good and the staff is extremely friendly! Love the hide and seek chicken is delicious! Really recommend it!!
(5)Tim F.
Wow oh Wow, amazing thai food in Annandale of all places. As others have said please do not be put off by the appearance from the outside. Once inside you will find a clean neat modern comfortable and peaceful setting. The food was amazing in quality and preparation, the prices equally so, very few places have lunch specials even on the weekend. The waitress was so pleasant, courteous and efficient so super helpful. At the completion of my panang curry when she asked me how I enjoyed it I said please place another order for me so I have an additional order to take home. I will return often and encourage you to do the same, I am already looking forward to my next visit.
(5)Paul N.
Food was really close to how it is back in Thailand and having kao soi makes it the more better.
(4)Ryan H.
All and all an ok night out. Strong drinks a plus and cheap-ish at that. Food was okay. Nothing over the top. Would have happily eaten bonchon right next door if it wasn't for the fact that my significant other was craving soup to smooth her ailing cold which wasn't an option next door. We both ordered apps and entrees and weren't disappointed with the quality of the food. Pretty basic and semi uninspired from what you hope would be a little more creative. Plus the overwhelming atmosphere for the one waitress in there serving all the tables and acting as the bartender.. Felt bad she was running nearly as much as she was. Seemed like it was all for not. So many other better thai joints out there. Don't see this place in my near future. Too bad :-/

Today, my friend and I have been to do some business in Virginia. On the way back to DC, we drove though Korean Town, Annandale but we did not feel like having Korean Food. We heard that there is a small Thai restaurant quietly sitting in the Korean Empire called IMM.So... why not to stop by and prove their reputation. We parked our car in the parking space behind restaurant. After seated, we went through the menu. Their menu is not that big, however everything sounds yummy. We started off with Fried Taro Hash Brown and Mieng Kham. Taro Hash Brown is like crispy deep fried mashed taro and tofu serve with sweet and peanut-topped sour sauce. The sauce is fantastic. Mieng Kham is thai herb-wrapped with special sauce. I don't know how to explain this dish, it is a must to order. For the entree, I got roasted duck with rice and my friend got northern style noodle in curry. I forgot what they call it in Thai. My dish is magnificent. The duck was not I expected. NO, it is not the peking duck! It completely differ from roasted duck in chinese place. It was well-marinated and well-roasted. The sauce they put on top was brilliant. It was gravy-like sauce. About the noodle soup, it was claimed that it is street food. As you may not know, street food or street vendor in Thailand always serve great food. The noodle comes with some kind of curry sauce and many ingredients on top including crispy noodle. My friend did not comment anything after having the first bite. He found himself again after eating it all. He said he likes the feeling of spicy curry with boiled noodle and the crisp from fried noodle. It sounds like the great combination. I talked to the server. Her family runs this restaurant. Well... it makes sense. The restaurants that claimed themselves FAMILY RUNNING are always good. They make food like cooking for their family members. Service was very good and warm. There were a couple tables which are obviously their regular customers. I understand now why they come back again, because I will come go back again... with my family. I highly recommend this place to those who want to have real thai food.
(5)Louise T.
Why is this place not packed? Food is great and it is a very relaxed atmosphere. Herbai shrimp w/salt and chili is delicious, as is the Thai iced tea.
(5)E S.
They do a nice chicken pad thai and a very good version of drunken noodles. The soups and beef panang I've tried have been ok, but not great. They use 'fancy' greens on the num tok salad, I prefer simple cheap iceberg lettuce instead, it holds up to the sauce better. I wouldn't order this salad here again though, it lacks mint and tastes too salty, doesn't have that bright balanced flavor of lime and heat, last time the meat was on the chewier/fattier side too. Get the drunken noodles, you won't regret it! The place is small-ish and the service can be painfully slow with one waitress struggling to keep up with entire dining room AND phone-in orders, esp at dinner.
(4)Jeffrey M.
driven past a million times never realized what a wonderful restaurant was hidden in such a modest building. Great and friendly service, not very crowded. Spicy crispy porky belly and Singha beer. Good Thai food! Close to home I'll be back.
(4)Wendy L.
I met up with a friend here for dinner last night. The decor inside is modern and it's nice that you can enter from the front and the back since most of the parking is at the back. We started off with the Mieng Kham as our appetizer because of the reviews on this site and it was really good. I liked the different flavors together and textures. I order pad thai because it is what I always order when I go to a new to me Thai restaurant. It was okay but definitely not great. The noodles stuck together and the fried tofu pieces were bad (as in sour), but the chicken to noodles ratio was good. My friend enjoyed the duck noodle dish that she got and again the duck to noodle ratio was good. I would probably come again because there were a bunch of appetizers that looked good and order one of their specials or street food options.
(4)David C.
Customer service is great here, I've eaten here and ordered delivery numerous times and the food is absolutely amazing. Recommendations: crispy pork belly or hide and seek chicken with curry rice.
(5)Marjon S.
Peking Duck Roll is where it's at!!!!!! Loved it!!! Next time no sharing for sure!!! For the entree we shared the Short Rib Curry and the Hide and Seek Chicken....liked the chicken didn't really care for the short ribs. The fried banana for dessert was very yummy!!!
(4)Jessie H.
I don't usually eat Thai food but the food here is pretty good. We got Kow-Tung-Na-Tung (rice crackers w/coconut & minced chicken dip), Tom yum noodle (spicy sour lemongrass soup. bamee poo ( Egg noodle with crab meat and roast pork), and Green tea creme brûlée. We also got the thai iced tea. Kow-Tung-Na-Tung - sauce was good but crackers are nothing special. They remind me of Krispy Treat Crackers. I won't get this again. Tom yum noodle- excellent flavor Bamee poo- Delicious!! I love this, it's a combo of chinese/thai food. There is fish sauce in the noodles with chinese roast pork on top and then crab meat sprinkled on top. I'd ask the waitress for additional sauce. There is this 2 mini pots of sauce they give you so you can pour to your heart's content. Green tea creme brûlée- pretty good and I don't even like green tea The second time I came back I got the Bamee Poo again along with fried calamari and Chicken Satay. Fried calamari - overpriced , not very good. looks like onion rings. Chicken Satay- overpriced, three chicken kabob things. not worth it. Next time I come here I am getting bamee poo or tom yum noodle or maybe I will try something new. I would stay away from their appetizers. Service is good and there's no line/wait.

Annandale is overwhelmed with Thai, Chinese, and especially Korean food joints. Many are really awful. Imm however is outstanding. Completely unassuming from the outside. Don't let that deter you. It is one of my absolute regulars for both lunch and dinner. Tom Yum soup is outstanding. Drunken Noodle, Pad Thai, and Panang Chicken Curry are all extremely good. Very clean. Great food. Great service.
(5)Alex H.
Annandale and Fairfax have never been lacking in good Korean fair, though good Thai has often been hard to come by. Fans of good Thai, rejoice! In fact, fans of good, quality, and, dare I say it, gourmet food, rejoice--Imm Thai is here to answer your prayers. I went to Imm Thai on a whim with my mother on a Tuesday night. Though slightly hard to find (the easiest way to get there is through the back door in the 236 Giant parking lot), the restaurant is truly a gem. Walking through the unassuming back door, we were met with a pristine, modern dining room, a few other guests (busy for a Tuesday, at least), a fully stocked bar, and minimalist black tables. We were seated promptly by an extremely friendly waitress, and so we perused the menu. The menu is immense, though not overpowering. It's impenetrable in a way that makes you think, "everything seems so delicious, I need to order something new this time," and subsequently leaves you scratching your head or asking the server for advice. Eventually we settled on the duck rolls, chicken and noodles in green curry, and a classic pad thai with tofu. The duck rolls were delicious, served in a thick scallion pancake atop a bed of crispy vermicelli and a caramel-tamarind sauce (I think). Though the thick-cut pancake was a bit heavy, the duck was just right: not too fatty, yet still flavorful. My mother ordered the curry chicken, and while I only tasted the curry broth itself, I can say that broth was definitely the best I've had in Virginia, and comes close to what I expect is equally good fair in Philadelphia's finest Thai restaurants. My pad thai was phenomenal. In NoVa, one has to be careful ordering pad thai, as certain restaurants will just slap down some orange-colored cellophane noodles, wholly lacking in flavor and texture. Imm Thai is NOT one of those restaurants. The noodles were coated in the sweet, sticky tamarind sauce, and subsequently covered in very finely chopped peanuts. The sauce itself was sweet, but not too sweet, and a delight to the tongue. Unfortunately for me, the portions were huge (and well-priced, as well), so while I failed to clean my plate, I did enjoy every minute. Perhaps one thing to work on, my last piece of tofu was a little dry compared to the rest. You may want to consider adding chicken or shrimp, rather than tofu (though all things considered the fried tofu was still fantastic, it just suffered from being left as I ate slowly). For dessert we split the green tea creme brulee, which was honestly the best creme brulee I've ever eaten. I'm not a huge fan of custard, and I'll usually just skim the sugar crust off the top. This time I devoured it. The custard is mild and semi-sweet, just like the best matcha-flavor you can find, and the sugar crust came out warm, obviously burned to order. Though we didn't order alcoholic drinks (happy hour is only from 4-7), both of us got a Thai iced coffee. Though similar to its Vietnamese counterpart, I feel like the whole drink was sweeter, and the coffee of a slightly finer blend; this could also be my imagination. Our waitress was wonderful, cheery, and always prompt whenever it seemed we needed something. Truly she capped the amazing experience. Head out to Imm Thai Cuisine soon. Sooner than soon. Like, literally, you should be there now, why aren't you?

I'd give this 3.5 stars if I could, because I've ordered and picked up from here many times and they were all very speedy. The pad thai wasn't fantastic, but it was pretty decent compared to some other places I've been to.

This contemporary Thai restaurant is a great addition to a town filled with Korean restaurants. We've eaten in a few times as well as taken food to go, and it has never disappointed. The menu is interesting and varied. They have some northern Thai dishes as well as a selection of Thai noodle soups called big bowl noodle soups. The shrimp Tom Yum Noodle soup was perfect on a cold night. They typically run specials and feature Thai "street foods." The curry doesn't beat Thai Square (although it's good) but the duck rolls, the whole fish entree, and the wonton soup were tasty. Seriously, the wonton soup was probably the best I've ever had. I'd say the negatives are that the portions are a tad smaller than most Thai restaurants, and some things are slightly overpriced. But the food is quite good so this is quickly becoming our go-to Thai restaurant in our neighborhood. It's never very crowded, so I hope it lasts! FYI: They are still waiting on their liquor license the last time I went in March.

The pics don't lie! The food looks great and tastes yummy! as well! Nice modern looking place in a sea of Korean joints! Pat was a my server.....very nice as I got the Crispy Chicken with roasted chili sauce and steamed brocholi to go... $12.95. It was delicious.....the marinade was delicious. I perused over the takeout menu and noticed plenty of interesting choices not found on reg. Thai menus.... Tangerine Duck Salad $7.95 looks great and plenty of soups and noodle dishes. Maybe this place will become the newer version of Thai Square? :) and take off in terms of popularity? I'll def. be back and I live in MD.....

My family are regulars at Imm. The food is not mind blowing but very good. I always get the papaya salad and request it to be extra spicy. They do not disappoint me. So spicy that I get red ring around my lips. Love it! My only eh is that I get it with a litte side of rice which is 2.00 extra. Not going to burn s hole in my pocket but little pricey for such a small amount of rice. My daughter really likes the green curry of course also making it extra spicy. The beef salad has a nice flavor although I will request next time not to have the crunchy rice bits sprinkled on top. Duck rolls are delish.
(5)Jay E.
We always order delivery from Imm and we love it! The first time we called they said we were just out of our delivery range but they would still accomodate us. We always place big orders because we love how fresh and tasty all of their dishes are. I particularly like the E-saan steak and the Massaman Curry, always with an order of shrimp rolls. I've never had a bad experience, they have great customer service and an awesome product. We look forward to our next meal!
(5)Theresa L.
This place is so horrible and they took forever to deliver. I ordered the pineapple fried rice and the pad Thai an they both tasted so horrible. All oily and old and one of the apple tasted rotten. I am a big fan of Thai food but this place is such a big disappointment an I do not think I will return nor recommend to anyone.

In a sea of Korean restaurants sits this unassuming jewel serving fantastic, authentic Thai cuisine. I was in a party of 3 that visited on a Monday evening. This was our first visit and we all agreed we will be back, soon. Plus, they deliver and carry out. We began with two appetizers: Duck Rolls and Calamari. Both were discounted $1 each because of Happy Hour from 4 to 7 p.m. I didn't eat the duck but the presentation was quite nice and the other two in my party enjoyed it. I stuck to the Calamari, which was lightly fried rings with a killer sweet and sour sauce. Very yummy. The entrees were the best part. I had drunken noodle with shrimp, which is one of my favorite dishes. You know how some places make this dish quite greasy? Not here. Perfectly sauced and seasoned, with tasty shrimp and full of veggies. The other meals we ordered were cracked black pepper beef and somen curry. My partner had the beef dish and asked for it to be extra spicy, which the chef certainly honored. Mine was medium spice, just right. Had no room for dessert, alas. But maybe next time. My only complaint was that our server could have been more attentive. There were only a handful of other patrons in the restaurant, but I had to flag her over to get another beer and for water refills. Other than that, it was a delightful experience and we will definitely be back!
(4)Victoria C.
One of the best places to eat ever. Looks nondescript from the outside and is a spectacular gem on the inside. From decor to cuisine, you will never be disappointed. Owned by a young couple making an extremely positive addition to the Annandale community.
(5)Caitlyn J.
One of the best places for fried rice in the area. The duck rolls are also a treat instead of very thin spring roll type of dough they use a pancake in a big piece of duck in each. The one thing that is not good is the Pad Thai, so I would just order anything else including the Panang Curry which really hits the spot on those cold nights.
(5)Mark E.
The appetizers are very good here. Yummy. I've had two different curry entrees and both of them were pretty good but not amazing. I think my primary problem with the entrees is there isn't a lot of protein. I usually get chicken and there doesn't seem to be a lot of chicken compared to other Thai restaurants I've been too. That said, it's not like there's not enough protein. I'm sure it's at least a 4 oz serving. Just not as much as other Thai restaurants. The desserts are amazing. I've gotten the tempura cheesecake twice now. It's absolutely heavenly. Amazing. To die for good. The service is very good. We will keep going back and trying new dishes. So, overall, pretty good. 4 stars.
(4)M C.
Great service and food - they also deliver! Duck rolls were my favorite app until I tried the Miang Kham - a mouthful of sweet, sour and salty wrapped in a kale like green. Try the salty shrimp with the crisp battered green beans. Excellent - loaded with large shrimp. Friendly staff remember you and what you ordered the last time!
(5)Todd M.
Definitely worth checking out if you are a fan of Thai and you are in Annandale amongst all the Korean food spots. The panang beef curry was very good and our Thai server was very friendly and helpful.
(4)Bobbi G.
Imms chicken curry puff was really good, would order again. Chicken pad Thai was good, and the best we have had in the area. The portion was large, so glad we split it. Eggplant salad was decent, although there is a unique smell initially that may not be for everyone. Thai iced coffee was wonderful.

In the heart of a dining treasure trove of wonderful Korean dives in Annandale, Imm Thai Cuisine offers a small unexpected, yet still Asian, detour. We offer a much more detailed description with photos on our blog, but suffice it to say that there is a reason that this area of Virginia is called "Little Korea" and not "Little Thailand." The restaurant is clean and cozy and the food is fine, though definitely not great. The noodles in our noodle dishes (Pad Thai and Drunken Noodles) were mushy. The items marked with two stars indicating heat, were not very spicy at all. We would probably not seek it out to return to it, but if you are in the area and craving Thai, this will suit just fine. The prices are quite reasonable. If you'd like to see photos and a more detailed description of our dining experience, please go to our blog!

Ate here a few weeks ago and was very yummy. Got drunken noodles with Chicken- good food, good price. Also go to the green tea creme brulee based on another yelp review and it was AWESOME. Great dinner for 2 with dessert for under $30. Can't complain.
(4)Lindel H.
Nice simple decor. I had the tom kha gai, chicken coconut milk soup, it was very good, spicy but not too spicy for non-native consumers of Thai cuisine. Will have more to add next time I go back for larb and basil summer rolls.
(4)G B.
It was all tremendous. It is so nice to have a good option for Thai food a little further out in the suburbs. I ordered just salads and appetizer to have with my Singha beers. It's not like being in Bangkok, where getting lots of variety street food to have with beer is common. But it seems all Thai menus have been adapted to American palate, but Imm has not compromised so much as to lose the special Thai characteristics. The mussels were amazing and Tom Kha was also good. I made the mistake of ordering the Som Tum papaya salad as only medium spicy, but it was still great and the grilled shrimp were perfect. I love Korean food, but sometimes it just seems so heavy. My dinner at Imm was perfect and I will be back.
(5)Chris K.
Modern and nice interior. Duck rolls are delicious
(4)Tracy C.
My husband and I discovered this Thai restaurant last year when we were looking for a new restaurant to try. We are both fans of Thai fare but also know that living in the Annandale area, some of the restaurants can be a hit or a miss. We had a wonderful experience the first time we visited and the food was better than we imagined and/or expected. I am a huge fan of their drunken noodles and this is our go-to place for Thai fare when the mood hits. The service is great and the food is delicious! :)
(4)Shahrokh A.
They just open, I stopped by with my family, very nice people, environment were great. I ordered their great ice tea and I loved it so much. Great duck dishes. I had great time, definitely will stop by again. James A

I love all in their menu. Very yummy, so good, the place very clean & cool design.

We decided to try this place for the 1st time as our Christmas Eve dinner and agreed on deliver rather than go outside in the cold and dine in. Our first experience was fantastic. Super friendly, wonderful customer service...off to a great start. Delivery comes, again amazing customer service with such a great attitude! We started off with the veggie curry puffs, which had a great flavor but my 9 year old found 2 HAIRS in his - one short & one long. OK, we can move on & get past that, we just don't finish the puffs. On to the entrees. We ordered a crispy whole founder that had no taste other than grease. We chose the 3 spice sauce because it was that or a sweet/sour sauce and we wanted some spice. The sauce had almost no kick and was very sweet. A bit of a disappointment. BUT...the real kicker, my 9 year old ordered the pad Thai, which had vermicelli sized noodles and hardly any flavor, and he found ANOTHER LONG HAIR!!! That is 3 hairs in 3 dishes...GROSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Needless to say we all lost our appetites and our money and our Christmas Eve dinner was not very festive. I sure hope they are trained in sanitation, which includes having your hair pulled back & secured. Unfortunately, we will NOT be back and will not recommend! :/ Please note recent Health Inspection Report: annandale.patch.com/arti… Imm Thai Cuisine 7203 Columbia Pike Date of inspection: Dec. 14 Critical (corrected during inspection): One or more of the elements of an effective employee health policy is either missing or incomplete.

Tested out Imm for the first time after noticing it opened a couple of weeks ago. Overall a very nice experience, great food, and only a few rough edges. The menu starts predictably, with the usual Thai favorites: drunken noodle, pad thai, panang curry, etc. There's also a separate "Chef's Specialty" list that are a bit more upscale. We tried the "Imm's Chicken Curry Puff" appetizer at our server's recommendation and were impressed; they're worth trying for the accompanying pickled vegetables alone. The spring rolls were the usual, but well-executed. Portions were a bit smaller than other places, but the quality of the ingredients seemed higher, with an emphasis on fresh vegetables. Service was very good. The only odd part about the whole experience was the very loud, thumping music; initially we thought it was from an adjacent or upstairs business, but it seemed to be coming out of the stereo. Seemed like an odd choice and not exactly relaxing. The decor inside is sleek and modern, despite not looking like much from the street. Overall, a nice addition to "downtown" Annandale; looking forward to going back.
(4)Jean G.
Stopped in for carry out one cold winter night and was very happy with the results. Friendly staff, nice atmosphere and - most importantly - tasty food! I decided to go with the standard Panang Curry as a control, while my husband got a little more adventurous with the E-Saan Steak. Both dishes were pleasantly spicy and flavorful -- no bland Thai here! Will definitely return.
(5)Jenya H.
Try the hide and seek chicken was very good!!!.I went their once and ordered for delivery twice. The food was good but some menu was ran out when I ordered( which is the server recommend to me). For the hide and seek chicken.,and duck with rice, They both really good but they gave very less amount of the meat, most of them is the rice. So if they could balance between meat and rice should be nice!
(4)Ake L.
I'm thai and the food is pretty decent as far as thai food in America goes but I think the food is on the more expensive side for what it is.
(3)Paul A.
Having to travel to so many places, I can certainly say that this another must-try Thai place. I had a Thai boat house noodle soup and it was very delicious with good portion. Their food is considered authentic, good price, delicious, and good portion. The owners came out and greeted me. They seem to really care about what they do/give to customers. That's what I really like about here -- their great attitude. The staff was very friendly and the vibe was great. Overall, this was a great experience and I would definitely come back again!
(5)Tim H.
Wow, this place is pretty good. My girlfriend and I split the chicken curry puff, the roasted duck curry, and the shrimps Tom yum noodle soup. Everything was very flavorful. Definitely worth checking out!
(5)Jen V.
I'm a fan of their vegetarian friendly appetizers. The curry vegetable puff, tofu taro hash browns and the jumbo tofu too. I do enjoy their drunken noodles but maybe if they made it with a bit of extra "Love" I'll be more hooked.
(4)Andy P.
Pretty good! But to be sure I will be back tomorrow... and probably the day after that too. Good duck rolls and decent crispy duck entrees. Be sure to check out "the other" menu. Oh, and the deep fried cheesecake is a must to make sure you don't go back to work after.
(5)Calvin P.
Great taste, equally matched by good portion & good price! Even lunch entrees almost match dinner portions. Menu choices are just enough, where you're not gonna get confused. It has many attractive and authentic recipes. Somewhat a hidden location, but once you are inside it is easy to tell this place is well taken care of, with a comfortable contemporary interior. A must visit place!
(5)Tamara H.
I went here and ordered the curry vegetable puffs, which were so good. I also ordered chicken ka-pow. It was good but the portion size was for a toddler. Since this was a dinner menu the portion size should have been a lot bigger. They mad it look pretty on the plate but I was forced to order a second entree to be satisfied. My daughter got pad thai which I didn't like but she did. It was made with the normal noodles you make it with. They had some other kind of noodels. So overall my meal was mixed. I did like what I got but the size was so small I think if they increased the meat portion sizes I would come back. Other than that I will eat somewhere else and get double the food for the same price.
(3)Rhonda H.
We were very pleased with Imm's! The origami napkins, modern decor, and great service were wonderful, as well as our starters and entrees. The Mieng Kham and Chicken Satay were delicious for starters. I had the vegetable stir fry and my husband had the pineapple fried rice for entrees, and they were superb as well. We'll be going back here a lot! We have tried lots of Thai restaurants in the area, and this goes to the top of our list. In a town where we can't understand most of the shop signs (they're in Korean!), we really appreciated a menu we could read. Go and try this place. You'll love it.
(5)Ms. Foodie A.
My least favorite Thai place in the area. I am a big yelper and checked their yelp page before I decided to go here for lunch. Bad idea! How can you really even mess up with Thai iced tea? Their Thai iced tea portion was big but the cinnamon flavor was too strong and even the cream couldn't not balance it out. Strike 1. Ordered their "grilled beef salad" to be safe. Waited for 15-20 mins when it wasn't even busy at all. I finally got the salad, looked weird. Served on spinach. The beef looked like it was steamed not grilled. Complained about it to the waitress, then she said, "do you want to try it first?" Which wasn't so nice. Now, I tried a slice of the beef from the salad. Couldn't eat it. Thought I was eating salt coated beef that have been sitting around somewhere in their kitchen for a while. Come on. I tried a lot of Thai restaurants from West Coast to East. This was the worst. Congrats.
(1)Wilawan C.
simple and contemporary Thai restaurant with an authentic taste! We ate Thai boat noodle soup. It was delicious and super good! The papaya salad is also good. The most memorable one is the green tea cream brûlée. The texture was smooth and the taste was superb!
(5)Lisa M.
I've been here three times now, and I really do enjoy the authentic Thai food here. As my parents are from Thailand, I crave Thai street food, and this one of the few places in NOVA where you can find it. My favorite it the roasted pork over rice dish (Khao Moo Dang) -- it's Thai comfort food. The only reason I am not giving this 5 stars is because the service can be extremely slow. I'm not sure if they need more cooks in the kitchen but it was definitely slower than most other Thai restaurants.
(4)Karen H.
I found this place on yelp. After looking at their menu to find Tom Yum soup with noodles, I knew I had to come try it out. The food was delicious when I ate it there, but afterwards, the MSG hit me. This is the only reason I'm giving this place a 4. The food was delicious, but there was too much MSG. Just a note for new patrons, you can come in through either doors. The front door and back door both are entrances. Also, I highly recommend checking out the street foods page and asking for the "Big Bowl" menu that has the Tom Yum Soup with noodles listed. Decor is very modern, but the bathroom has plumbing issues. The sink was stopped when I went there last.
(4)Marc H.
My first time here. I ordered the drunken noodle to go. The order was completed very quickly. Felt like 5 minutes. Maybe because I sat comfortably at the bar watching the game while waiting. I walked out happy. Drive home, which is a 10 minute ride. Wow, did I enjoy that meal. It was still hot and fresh. Very fresh vegetables and tasty noodles. Like it was home made! I'll be back.
(5)Andy N.
I don't know how this place even get 4 stars it must be fake! The food was so horrible that I had to throw it away. They took forever to get the food out and it tasted old. I ordered the Pineapple Fried Rice and it tasted like rotten pineapples in old rice. It was so oily that all I taste was the oil. The Pad Thai was so oily and salty and the noodle was so nasty. If I could I would NOT give it any star at all. I will never ever go back to this place again.
(1)Trish G.
So far I've been three times, and everything I've had has been amazing. My favorite has been the shrimp Pad Thai, although every time I go there is some kind of special on the menu that is delicious. They usually have appetizer specials too that are excellent.
(5)Nawaf H.
I am new in Annandale, and found this little treasure resturant. Really great food, so kind stuff, and lovely atmosphere, the only thing to complain is the prices a little bit high..
(4)Yan W.
Food here was pretty good. Being in the middle of K town (Annandale), it's a nice change of pace. You have to park in the back and walk to the front for the actual entrance, so that can get a little confusing.
(3)Auraiwan D.
Chill place, good food and great desserts!!! I love their green tea cream brûlée..
(5)Vivian C.
After hearing about a new Thai restaurant opening a while back in one of the capitals of Asian Foods, Imm in Annandale had big shoes to fill. As usual and expected through Yelp, when we walked through a short alley to their dining area, it was an empty venue. We were the only table; therefore, you would expect service to be spectacular and cuisine to be phenomenon. Both was below par. We ordered a good portion of the menu, starting with their renowned chicken satay, peking duck roll, chicken curry puff, and tofu taro hash browns. They didn't have any of the fried chicken, which raised a light bulb. Who runs out of one of the most abundant and domesticated species in the world? Anyhow, for entrees, we opted for the "favorites", such as the drunken noodles, kao soi noodles, and chef's secret fried rice. Fortunately, this review wasn't that difficult to write since there is only one word to perfectly describe every dish that came out. COLD. It was comparable to frozen goods. They were merely re-toasted or reheated, not even refried. You know how I know? Because when you're a penny-saving college student and you buy hot pockets that need to be in the oven for the directed 28 minutes and you can only wait the 15 before you grab it to quench the hunger, the interior of the sauce/pepperoni/stuffing is still cold. I am an expert in this area. The similarity in both episodes is that the time wasn't long enough to allow the heat to dissipate through the external crust. Every bite of the appetizers reminded me of my sad eating habits back in college when I was too lazy to assemble meals suitable for a human being. The waitress who served us didn't seem very pleasant either and didn't seem to like us asking a lot of questions. When we asked her about recommendations, she was quick to beat us to the bush and addressed us that everyone is different. And that is not all, if you refer to my pictures, the fried rice is burnt. Apparently, the chef's secret was raisins, because that was all I could identify as "special." The dehydrated grapes didn't fit well with the selections of meat and added to the bitterness of the dish. We ended up with a plateful of unfinished grain. The best part of the meal was my order: the Thai Iced Tea. You see, if you mess up your country's most recognized drink, I cannot see how your establishment plans to exist. However, when you manage to screw up everything else, it ain't that hard for it to happen.
(2)Serena I.
My boyfriend and I were craving Thai food while we were in the Annandale area. We checked out the reviews on Yelp and decided to give this place a try. We ordered the Duck Rolls for an appetizer, the Duck and Egg Noodle dish, and Drunken Noodles for our entrees. Duck Rolls - Amazing! So flavorful and yummy, probably the best duck rolls I have ever had thus so far. Duck and Egg Noodle - Not bad, very flavorful but a bit on the salty side. I enjoyed the Chinese broccoli that accompanied the noodle dish. Drunken Noodle - Good but I have had better. I love me some drunken noodle so my standards for drunken noodle dishes are pretty high. Overall, it was a decent experience here at Imm Thai Cuisine. Our server was very nice and the restaurant decor is cute and modern. I might have to come back here just to order the mouth watering Duck Rolls and probably try a different entree.
(3)Karen T.
Highly disappointed. Our service was terrible. Got there at 5:30 on a Saturday night and were the only people there. Yet the waitress could not seem to manage our simple order. Each of us ordered soup, but she didn't bring them out at the same time, so two of us had nothing while the other two got their soup. (And really, there is no excuse for that - soup is already prepared and is the simplest thing to get on the table). For the entree, two people ordered a steak dish and two ordered chicken. The waitress brought the two chicken dishes out and said the steak would come out later because it takes "longer to cook". (Side note - steak actually does not take that long to cook). At least 10 or 15 minutes elapsed before the steak came out, and it was COLD! Totally unacceptable. Besides the poor service, the food was mediocre. Not worth the wait or the aggravation.
(2)Lateef X.
Great food quality and flavor - portion sizes are excellent (would be large outside the US). Really a hole in the wall that's hard to spot, Imm Thai dons a misleadingly boring facade that encases a modern (chic?), well-decorated, cozy environment with super customer service. The menu includes some awesome street food options like the starter we had, Mieng Kham...it was off the hook! The Chicken Satay starter, topped w/ homemade peanut sauce, was great and enough to serve as a light entree. We went w/ Thai mainstays as entrees, Spicy Eggplant w/ Chicken and Chicken Kapow were excellently spiced, flavored, and textured! The restaurant works well w/ allergies and includes many vegan dining options. They packed our leftovers in to-go boxes and we were surprised to find an add'l order of sticky rice...a thoughtful gesture that we realized when heating up leftovers for next day's lunch. With hearty portions, at competitive prices, and superior quality, Imm Thai Cuisine is at the top of the Overall Best Value Restaurant list.
(5)Vina H.
I will say that I would have never thought of going to Annandale for good Thai food. From the outside, the restaurant looks very humble in its location and appearance. But, once you've stepped inside the interior is very simple, clean and modern looking. I've ordered takeout many times in the evening including pad thai, pad see-ew (wide rice noodles stir-fried in soy sauce), and thai fried rice. The food is excellent-- not fancy but authentic. I especially like the thinner rice noodles used in the pad Thai, a nice difference compared to the norm at most other Thai restaurants. The service here is nice, quick, and efficient. I've never requested this specifically but noticed that for every one of my takeout orders, they've lined the styrofoam container with aluminum foil before adding the hot food in between. I'm not a fan of hot food touching styrofoam in general (i.e. health hazard) so I greatly appreciate their attention to detail. I've tried many Thai restaurants in D.C. and other cities, and this place is the real deal. Portion sizes are relatively generous and the prices are reasonable. I'm looking forward to my next visit and trying out their special Hide & Seek chicken and some other entrees which seem to be their own unique dishes.
(5)Yelp Y.
Love this little secret place! Favorites: Drunken Noodle w/chicken, House Thai Fried Rice w/chicken, Pad Thai, Panang Curry, Won Ton Soup, Mango w/Sticky Rice. Very Good wine selection. Genuinely gracious staff, owner & chef. Five Stars Plus! It's Annandale:-)! Who Knew?!
(5)Janice Y.
To me, this place was mediocre. Interior is cute, but food wasn't that great. The shrimp tom yum noodle bowl was mehhh, but what was even worse was the phitsanulok noodle soup. I don't know if the soup was supposed to be that sour, but it was too sour to be enjoyable. Maybe the cook messed up. Who knows... Pad Thai was okay, but the noodles that im they used were very stringy thin ones that I was not used to. Flavor was good though. The fried calamari app wasn't that great either. Was very chewy, sauce was meh, and portion was small. The only thing I have truly liked here is either the green curry or red curry. I forget which one. Oh and the green tea Creme brûlée is really really good, but the rest of the food is ehhhh... It really could be better and I hate saying bad things about restaurants, but I am not that hard to please!!!! I eat anything!!! And this place disappointed me. ): Honestly, Thai food which is literally across the street from here is so much better!
(3)Matthew T.
This place is excellent. The decor is very fresh, despite the exterior appearance, and the staff are delightful. I had two appetizers that I had never seen on a Thai menu before that were both delicious. The mien kham was was very interesting and among the best appetizers I have had. The curry noodle dish from the Thai street food menu, which was not quite like anything I had eaten before, served with plenty of cilantro, was also interesting and quite tasty. Although this is an imperfect indicator of quality, this is a Thai restaurant that appeals to Thai people.
(5)Brenda D.
I think this is the only Thai place in Annandale but it is almost always empty at dinner time. It's got nice modern decor, the service is very friendly and the food here is actually pretty good (just not the panang curry). So I don't understand why more people don't come here. That being said, the "dead" atmosphere kinda ruins it for me personally because I like the crowds. But if you live around here and want good thai with decent prices, you've got a place to call your own =)
(3)Guillermo C.
Was recommended by my father but was very hesitant upon arrival. The exterior is an old small building and we went in what we thought was the front door which turned out to be the back door. Our only complaints end there. Very nicely done modern decor. Small restaurant with a VERY attentive waitress. Food was delicious with very nice presentation. We had spring rolls, fried rice, curry and crispy chicken and ALL were delicious. Glad to have a new spot near our home to put in the rotation. Dont be scared away by the outside of the building, youll miss out!
(5)Ju Yeon P.
Decided to get some take out food as it's nearby my office. The location and exterior of this restaurant may seem a little sketchy but the restaurant interior has a very clean and modern feel to it. Thai iced tea was refreshing although they awkwardly handed me a half-full container. I got drunken noodles for my coworker and pad thai for myself which we both enjoyed but would recommend dining in for better food quality.
