This is a very unique restaurant  and different restuarant for two things. #1) The combination of Thao-Lao cusine and #2)The only exclusively Thai Buffet in the DC area.
The Thai Dinner Buffet is served only on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights from 6:00 PM until 9:00PM. It is a very reasonable price $12.95 and the selections are excellent from Pad Thai, Tom Yum Soup, Drunkin Noodles, Papaya Salad, Lao Curry Fish, Seafood, Basil Chicken and many more. The food is always fresh and hot,I say that because not all buffets are that way.
The menu itself has a large selection of Thao-Lao dishes at very reasonable prices and good size portions.
Servers and employees are very friendly and service is excellent. The restaurant is a bit small and on weekends there might be a wait, but it is well worth it.
Keep up the great work!
I had heard about this place so a co-worker and I decided to check this place out for lunch. Upon entering, we noticed that it was really dim inside and really cramped. We both did the lunch buffet and while there were a good amount of food about (15?) different dishes, most seemed to be all vegetarian. Â
The vegetarian pad thai and drunken noodles were good and that seemed to be the only dishes I kept coming back to. The tofu larb they had were by far the most saltiest dish they had and thats not saying much since most of the food there seemed to be salty, especially their chicken and tofu soup.
The only thing I commend them on is the fried plantains and their taro dessert. Overall, not a bad place for a cheap lunch but beware of the salty dishes. After lunch, I kept guzzling water all day to quench my thirst.
Read great reviews on the buffet lunch/dinner so decided to try it out. Did the dinner buffet and was not disappointed. This place is good! The food was flavorful, much to choose from, and the freshness was amazing! It just kept coming out to cater to how busy they were.
The only thing that was a bit uncomfortable is that the place is super small. There are only 12 tables tops and that's pushing it. So groups beware! Also if you are looking for romantic or intimate/not having anyone listening to your conversation or not hearing anyone else this place is not for you.
But if you are looking for a great meal and great service, go!!!
I have been sampling Drunken Noodle dishes at every Thai restaurant I can find in Arlington and I give Bangkok Golden's Drunken Noodles an outstanding 5 stars.
The chicken was well cut with a good mix of vegetables. The flavor was as close to perfect as you can get - spicy but flavorful. While it wasn't a super bargain like a few other places, the portion size was good and I'd say the overall value was excellent. As of writing this (2/13) I would say Bangkok Golden is the best place for Drunken Noodles in the Arlington area.
I was so happy to find this on yelp. I have been to this shopping center for so many years and never even knew what I was missing. I had a craving for thai food and got excited when I found out they had a buffet here. I went here today for the first time with a friend and we thought the food was really good. We are hoping they change up the menu from time to time. I saw a lady leaving with to go Thai Iced Tea and I did the same before heading out. It will take more visits to find out. I plan on going again next week. Hopefully it be just as good as today.
Review Source:Review for lunch buffet:
Typically would have gone straight to Eden for lunch but.. decided to try something different! And was I happy. Yeah the buffet was a bit pricey but wasn't disappointed whatsoever. The selection wasn't much but what they did have? Was yummy. They didn't skimp on the taste or quality even though it was a buffet. Warning: things are spicy! I'm not one for spicy.. But things were so flavorful? That it didn't matter.
Things tasted authentic though I'm no specialist but the soup was the only iffy for me.
Reason for it not being 5 stars? Some things were just toooooo spicy.. Why not just make it medium for those who aren't traditionally used to the spices.
We went there for the buffet. It was nice not to have to wait to food to be prepared. One thing I noticed was all of the dishes tasted better when they recently refilled the trays. Â I will give the restaurant appearance 1 of 1 starts the prices 1 of 1 stars the service is hard to rate because of the buffet but they seems very nice and helpful to others 0.75 of 1 stars and I would rate the food 1.75 of 2 stars. So all together 4.5 stars. For now ill leave it as a 4/5 and will revisit for a lunch buffet and post an update.
Review Source:There aren't too many Laos restaurants in the area, so imagine my surprise when I found one that gets the Laos stamp of approval! Â (My boyfriend is Laotion and he lurves this place!) Â One of the main highlights of this restaurant is the buffet - buffet prices at you-won't-believe-its-a-buffet prices. Â Although the buffet station looks modest, it offers an amazing variety of dishes such as; tom yum soup, chicken wings, pad thai, drunken noodles, spring rolls, larb and many more! Â The only thing that IS modest, is the price. Â We paid $12 for a lunch buffet on a Sunday. Â Top it all off with a thai iced tea and ahhhhhh, refreshing heavenly-ness!!
I've also had the opportunity to do the Laos tasting menu here one night. Â Every dish was more savory, succulent and spicy than the last. Â We were served papaya salad, Laos sausage, larb, a delicious steamed fish dish, and a lovely avacado sticky rice for dessert. Â I urge you to try some foods from the Laos menu next time you come here, as it will give you different flavors than your typical Thai food.
If you like spicy, sweet and delicious Thai food, I recommend going here hungry so you can try all the dishes. Â The lunch buffet seemed like a good value for the money. Â Note seating is in an open area so it is recommended to be careful if having any discussion about any politically polarizing topic as anyone nearby can overhear and object if the topic is controversial enough.
The staff and food are something good to write home about. Â However, some customers might not come from countries that practice free speech so it is useful to keep that in mind. Â If the group is large and loud or people need to share a quiet word, I would recommend eating elsewhere simply because this is not the best place to share a semi-private word. Â I stand by a top rating on the staff and food as they were very nice.
I accidentally stumbled upon this place and figured "let me try their buffet." Â Simply YUUUUM! Â Great variety and fresh food. Â A lot of times, you go to a buffet and all you see are dishes with tiny pieces of veggie or meat and lots of sauce. Â But definitely not this one. Â The meat pieces are chunky and veggie fresh. Â I was so stuffed. Â
And the staff was pretty nice and attentive as well. Â Although we arrived with a big-ass stroller, and the place was full during lunch hour, the waitress was able to accommodate us and have my baby, who is in the stroller, close-by.
I am interested to try out their a la carte selection during dinner times.
Try their Laotian menu!
The Honey Crispy Wings were somehow still crispy as advertised even with the amount of sauce on it. Â The sweet, savory sauce was good and that dish came out so fresh I slightly burned my fingers. Â Unless you're an expert knife and fork eater, this can get messy.
I was less impressed by the Lao Spicy Sausage because of the chunks of fat in the sausage slices. Â I just don't like eating that type of texture! Â But I would still recommend it because it is not something I've seen elsewhere. Â Beware of that brown paste on the side. Â Spicy to the max! Â Have a thai iced tea ready by your side.
The showstopper was the Crispy Rice Salad. Â It comes with a plate of lettuce leaves to wrap the rice salad in. Â No sauce served with it, but no sauce needed. Â I think fish sauce is already embedded in it. Â Also good by itself once the lettuce leaves run out.
The food is delicious. The service is excellent. I have only tried their delicious lunch buffet, and it is quite the bang for your buck/baht/Lao Kip at $8.95. Â An exceptional value compared to the $50 I spent the week before on just an appetizer, soup, and one seafood dish at a nearby fancy Thai restaurant.
The spiciness of each buffet dish has been dialed way down to suit the American palette, so I use the spice tray to kick it up a few notches. Â
I think about the food here on days when I don't visit. Â I'll definitely be back.
What can I say? This restaurant has never let us down. We have been there countless times, and that says something! The curries have an incredible depth of flavor. Their food is truly outstanding! I would encourage you to order off of the Lao menu AND the Thai menu. Be careful if you don't like spicy food, because some of the dishes are quite spicy. If you like spicy, I would recommend the Panang curry off of the Thai menu.
The restaurant is very inexpensive, too. The service is fantastic, and it is a very cozy atmosphere. It is definitely five stars!
This restaurant is one of my favorite Thai places. It's not the best food but it's very good and economical. I'll go here any day. The best part about this place is the $13 dinner buffet available Fri-Sun. $13??! I did my birthday dinner here recently and not one of my friends ordered off of the menu. The buffet was definitely the way to go. It's always packed and the decor is beautiful. It's not a huge place, but so cozy and pretty.
Review Source:I was drawn in here by promises of yummy Thai buffet, but I quickly realized the REAL reason to come here is for the DELICIOUS LAO CUISINE!
My first foray into Lao food and this did not disappoint. I initially came here on a Sunday night set on doing the tasting menu, but apparently they only do those on weeknights so heads up: if you want to sample a bunch of food GO ON A WEEKNIGHT.
Second word of warning, everything is MAD spicy (I guess that's the nature of this kind of cuisine), even the mild...I guess that can be a super plus or minus depending your preferences.
FOOD:
- Crispy rice salad w/ Lao spicy pork sausage ($9.50) - for only $1 more you can add their signature Lao spicy pork sausage to their signature crispy rice salad. I loved the confluence of flavors in this dish, from the aromatic basil to the crunchy peanuts and crispy rice that gave it a nice texture. It comes with a side of lettuce for you to wrap the crispy rice in. Spicy!
- Duck (Larb Ped) - Ground duck that comes with sticky rice. Probably my least favorite of all the dishes, but still good! Couldn't really taste the duck flavor though, as it was obscured by the numerous other strong flavors in the dish.
- Fish Moak ($8.95) - Fish wrapped in banana leaves and steamed. SO GOOD and SO tender. The fresh dill really complemented the fish really well and wasn't overpowering at all like I thought it might be. Nice and light, which was a welcome contrast to the other spicy/heavy foods we got.
The Thai buffet looked okay too. I wish I could have tried at least some of their Thai fare, but their Lao dishes really stole the show, so if its your first time here definitely try their Lao specialties!
Thank you, Yelpers!! We wouldn't have found this restaurant without you! It's in the upper part of the Seven Corners "mall" -- if you're facing the front of Shoppers Food Warehouse, it's in that line of stores and shops to your right.
My husband and I had a "date night" without the kids to try this restaurant, as some of the reviews had indicated the food was pretty spicy. We both had the buffet, and while the spice level definitely built over the course of the meal, it wasn't excessive. I'd judge most of the food on the buffet to be about 1.5-2 spicy peppers on the normal Southeast Asian scale of 4 peppers.
The buffet was a remarkably good deal. For $12.95 at dinner, it included a tasty chicken mushroom soup (a lot like the galangal at Rabieng, which is high praise). It also had a variety of chicken and seafood dishes, as well as some veggie entrees. Best of the bunch was a monkfish with dill and several herbs and spices I couldn't identify. It was mostly savory, but with a bit of fruity sweetness from the dill and the other herbs. The fish was cooked beautifully!
The larb ka (chicken) reminded me of the chicken appetizer that some Chinese restaurants serve with lettuce leaves. It had a bit too much raw onion for my taste, but the chicken was really flavorful.
Several of the dishes included seafood, which is extremely uncommon for a buffet at this price level. And they refreshed the buffet frequently, so even the fried food was fresh and crispy.
We had to wait a while for a table, because a group had reserved space for 25 people (which is probably 2/3 of the restaurant) for 6PM. They didn't show up until 7:15PM; the restaurant only started releasing the tables about 15 minutes before that. And they had the nerve to come in at 7:15PM and say they had a reservation!
Service was excellent; attentive without being intrusive. The Thai iced tea is a super deal at $2, and helps offset any food that's a bit too hot.
Laos food! Spicy deliciousness!
I came here because an amazing instagram picture was taken and hearing great things from Kimberly V. I just had to come to see for myself.
When my bf and I got there their laos buffet closed but I was fine with that, maybe i'll try it next time. I first sat down knowing i wanted papaya salad (the pic i saw from Kimberly was a photo of papaya salad) I love papaya salad so it was a must. I ordered it thai spicy and omg was it spicy, like really spicy! My bf started sweating the first bite he took but I polished it off because it was soo good and spicy. We got the beef larb and it had a wonderful mint taste to it, very refreshing and tasty. The next thing we got was a pork stew or pork orm and this thing was like jammed packed with flavors like dancing around your mouth. Spicy, sour, sweet all in one bite. I finished off with fried bananas with ice cream. PERFECT! I will be visiting here again soon!
So glad Kimberly V. has all the dishes written down, since I definitely don't remember them all.
The tasting menu was really unique and cool if you're open to trying a bunch of stuff you wouldn't normally order. And also to sweat. It gets hot.
My favorites were:
Crispy rice salad - defnitely unique and with a lot of different flavors and textures. Lime, crunchy, cilantro, chile, fish sauce. Real good. I could definitely see myself eating a large portion of this and be fat and happy.
Grilled pork neck and papaya salad - the pork, so tender and flavorful. Damn good meat if I should say so myself. And perfect with sticky rice. It brought me back to my roots. The papaya salad was actually just above average, but not super amazing. It was spicy for sure, but I think the texture/freshness of the papaya wasn't right.
Steamed fish in banana leaf - honestly, I saw this and thought it looked like a block of some type of mutated fish spam. By this point I was really full, but I had to try it. It was soft, flaky, and flavorful.
The rest of the dishes were good, but I think these were the top performers. I would definitely like to come back and to see what else is on the menu.
Yelp Office Hoursss! I came here with the yelp crew. There was a 7 course tasting meal which was fantastic yet incredibly spicy. I didn't even get a change to look at the menu becasue everything was set up before hand. I thouroughly enjoyed all the different courses and will be coming back here to try what is not on the tasting menu. The food was great but most dishes were super spicy and we only got the medium spicy, they have an even spicier level..Whoa too much for me!
Review Source:Can I say how much I love my job? I recently planned an Office Hours event at Bangkok Golden to try their new Laotian tasting menu and to my surprise and delight, people actually showed up! It was great to share a new eating experience with people who truly love and appreciate food.
Although Bangkok Golden has been serving Laotian food on the DL for the past two years, Chef Seng recently introduced the tasting menu for no0bs who didn't know what to order and wanted to get the full flavor experience.
My tasting menu consisted of the following:
Nam Khao / Crispy Rice Salad - Crushed fried rice seasoned with lemongrass, ginger, peanuts, chile, cilantro and fish sauce wrapped in a lettuce wrap. This was one of my favorite dishes on the menu and when I came back the next day for dinner with my parents it was one of theirs too! The flavor and texture was outstanding!
Sai Oua / Sausage - I usually only get this when my friend Thammaphone S' parents goes on a homemade sausage making spree so I was very pleased to see this on the menu! It takes a lot of love and preparation to put these together and it is evident in the taste. It was served with a chili jam which was our first foray of the night into "Laos Hot".
Moo Ping / Grilled Pork Neck and Papaya Salad - See my other review on Bangkok Golden to learn more about their papaya salad. Let's just say that it made our resident Thai cry, it was THAT spicy! However, it was the perfect compliment to the grilled pork neck. I've never had pork neck meat before but found it to be extremely flavorful and tender. This dish pairs splendidly with Beer Lao!
Larb Kai / Chicken - Minced chicken with lots of herbs and spices, this is a Thai and Laotian favorite and a welcome palette cleanser from the spiciness of the papaya salad.
Orm Pa / Curry Fish - By the time this came out, I was so full that I put a bite in my mouth and almost exploded in a fiesta of spice. It was good but I had to sit this portion out. COMMUNITY MANAGER FAIL! But for those looking to learn more about the dish, it was made with a mixture of red curry, thin rice noodles, coconut milk and fish and it smelled heavenly.
Mok Pah / Steamed Fish in Banana Leaf - By this course, pretty much everybody at the table was ready to throw in the towel but the delicate flavor of this dish was a true saving grace to those whose mouth was still burning from the papaya salad.
Khao Mao/ Avocado & Sticky Rice - Â Just when I didn't think I could swallow another grain of sticky rice, this dish came out and soon I was back in the ring! I loved the creaminess of the avocado mixed in with the coconut milk and sticky rice. It was a divine combination sent from God.
All-in-all it was a great meal! In fact, I loved everything so much I came the very next night to share the experience with my parental units, Kat V and my little brothers! This time we shared everything family style and added in an order of grilled chicken wings (OBSESSED) and roasted quail. My mom, who is a teeny tiny Asian woman just under five feet loved everything on the menu and was still munching away even after we were all done. My mom is not a glutton like everybody else in my family so this just comes to show you that Bangkok Golden is the REAL DEAL YO (said in my Jesse Pinkman voice).
Loved Bangkok Golden! Â
My boyfriend and I decided to be adventurous and tried some grilled (or "Ping" as they call it) dishes from the Laotian menu. Â All ping dishes comes with sticky rice, house sauce and steamed broccoli. Â I tried the boneless chicken breast and herbs and he tried the pork marinated with house sauce, lemongrass and ginger. Â The sauce is a mild soy-like sauce and accompanies the chicken quite well. Â The best part is the sticky rice which compliments the meal sooooooo perfectly. Â I have yet to try the Thai menu but will surely be back!
Finally went to Bangkok Golden after reading about this restaurant a year ago.
We were greeted by a friendly waiter who was very welcoming and encouraged us to look at the buffet and or if we had any questions with the menu items he would be happy to assist us.
We usually do not do buffets but this time after doing recon I just had to do it because of the variety of foods and it all looked too yummy. Â I had to eat it all!
A Cyndy TIP: Â when doing buffets always do recon to see the food and to determine how to prioritorize the order of food you are going to eat.
Everything on the buffet line was very tasty and delicious. Â I will definitely be back to order from the regular menu although after a wonderful time with the buffet it will be hard to limit my options to a couple of entrees instead of having it all! Â The price point is reasonable for variety of dishes offered.
Below is a list of what was on the buffet :
There is egg fried rice and regular rice in addition to soup.
First item I tried was the Tom Yom Gai - chicken and mushroom lemongrass soup with lime juice and chili. Â The chicken in the soup is so tender and delicious with the lemongrass flavor and the perfect amount of lime juice and chili - absolutely delightful!
2. Â Papaya salad is delicious - the papaya is uniformingly grated with the right ratio of fish sauce, chili, and lime juice which make all the flavors work well into the salad. Â Very yummy!
3. Â Yum Won Sen is a delicious rice noodle, minced shrimp and chicken very flavorful and yummy! Â You can't stop eating it because your taste buds are enjoying it so much!
4. Â Chicken Larb - minced chicken, scallion seasoned with chili and limes - very yummy.
5. Â Vegetarian Spring rolls - onions, charrots and mushrooms served with a sweet and sour sauce.
6. Â Chcken basil. Â
7. Â Crispy chicken wings
8. Â Monk fish with dill -
9. Â Red Curry chicken
10. Â Pad Thai with chicken
11. Â Seafood stir fry
12. Â Shrimp tempura
13. Â Fried bananas
14. Â Drunken noodle - stir fried wide rice noodles with fresh basil, chili, and chicken.
Bottom line - try Bangkok Golden because you will enjoy it!
Went for the new vegan tasting menu and I cannot say enough good things! This was one of the best meals we've had in a long time. For a mere $25pp we had SEVEN delicious courses. We'd never had Laotian food, much less a completely Laotian tasting menu, and we were pleasantly surprised and thoroughly delighted.
The server began by asking how spicy we like our food--well, very. Usually this doesn't get us much in the way of flavor, but Bangkok Golden did not disappoint! Our entire meal was flavorful, perfectly spiced, and the courses were served in the perfect sequence to balance the heat and spice and cool and sweet and smokey and bitter.
In short, we had:
Steamed Asian veggies with tons of garlic, ginger, and roasted chili.
The perfect next dish--a mango salad, somewhere between chilled and room temp, but still with a spicy kick.
Crispy rice salad--apparently this is a Lao staple. Â And apparently it is AWESOME.
A wonderful mushroom soup with sticky rice (and I don't even LIKE mushrooms!).
Tofu larb--again, another tasty dish full of fresh herbs.
Steamed bamboo in banana leaf. This was my least favorite dish, a LOT going on, but the more I ate it the more I liked it. I was just so so full I felt near death.
Seventh and final course: Brought back to life by avocado sticky rice with coconut! This was nothing short of incredible.
Bangkok Golden is entirely worth the trip out to Falls Church. It's not a fancy place--a small restaurant in a strip mall--but the service was very warm and friendly. I hope the tasting menu continues as it is a star for the entire area, and we will return again and again.
Also hoping that Chef Seng produces a cookbook!!
I've been on a hunt for really good Thai food since most Thai restaurants in this area are now too bland, generic and catered to the American taste.
After hearing and reading many great reviews, I decided to pay a visit.
My friend and I ordered:
Laos style papaya salad - my favorite! this dish is very special since it is much more flavorful than the Thai version. I like my papaya salad stinky and ultra spicy. This restaurant makes it the best by far.
Laos style chicken larb - this version has a lot more different herbs and spices mixed into it compared to the Thai version. I cannot say that I like it more than the Thai version since it is almost an entirely different dish
Drunken Noodles with beef - this dish met my expectations but did not exceed it. To say the least, it was good  and theres nothing to complain about it
Duck red curry - Again, this dish met my expectations. The quality of the duck was nice, juicy, thick, and tender. Although, the duck curry at Thai Square surpasses it a little
Everything was ordered with a spicy level of 4 out of 5. It got really intense but our water was quickly refilled to burn out the fire.
Service was very friendly and quick. The gentleman waiter was very informative to our questions.
I have not tried the buffet but I will most definitely come back for that!
Oh my, I'm in Pad Thai Heaven!
I love pad Thai but none live up to my personal golden pad Thai standard (baseline is in a Thai place in Ferndale, Michigan), until now! Â I really loved the sweetness of the pad Thai at Bangkok Golden as well as the heat in the dish. Â It was perfect, in my personal pad Thai universe.
We shared the pad Thai as well as a chicken and broccoli in peanut sauce dish with rice and both were wonderfully prepared and so delicious! Â We'll be back :)
Btw, we ignored the buffet completely.
Ummm hellz yeah I am a fan of this place!
its a hidden gem I must say
Its a spot that is in the 7 corners shopping center on the Shoppers Warehouse side so if you know where that is you will find it!
Its a small Thai/Laos Restaurant  which has a lunch buffet for $8 and its a solid buffet too! maybe about 16 different items on it.
The menu items looked pretty awesome!
So I had the buffet and my guest had veggie pad thai, she said it was the best pad thai she has had in awhile compared to other Thai Restaurants , she said it was full of flavors and it was huge! it was lunch that day and dinner the next! so yes it was a huge portion!
The buffet items were on point too! lots of flavors and spices! I tried drunken noodles, honey crisp chicken, the chicken wings, egg plant with pork, veggie spring rolls, yellow curry with veggies and oh man all of that was awesome!
I need to make another trip back so I can give it 5 stars cause I have to try the Laos food
I'm still not sure why anybody looking here goes for the Thai buffet. On recommendations I ignored it completely and shared various Laotian items from the menu you must ask for. Better yet, ask for the specials menu that is only in Laotian (with some English transliterations but no translations) and ask them to help you pick out some tasty things real Laotians like. Just choose at random and you're sure to find something incredible. I came with some friends and simply have few words to describe the food beyond superfantastabulous and as spicy as you want it. if you ask for it to be actually spicy, they do not dumb it down. Look interested and glad to get the real stuff and they reward you well.
The staff was friendly and glad to help us pick some good dishes. If you like spicy asian fare this is basically one of the best places in the DC metro area. Go now!
Went there for lunch numerous times, but since being not familiar with Laotian food, and trying to be quick and easy, I always have their buffet. Even though after several attempts trying to remember the names of those dishes, I still have no idea what they are called. But I always get satisfied by their food. About their service, most of time, average or above. but it could be a miss sometimes.
I would have gone back more often if they were not located in the most miserable traffic area - Seven Corners.
My friend wanted to try this Thai/Laotian place out so we gave it a go and ordered 4 dishes:
CHICKEN LARB: contained great spices and was a rather large portion size
LAOS PAPAYA SALAD: better than the typical Thai one; however, it had more of a fishy smell/taste
BEEF DRUNKEN NOODLES: pretty standard; it was not as flavorful and did not contain as much sauce as I had hoped
RED DUCK CURRY: my favorite dish out of the four; the duck was fatty and tender
Service was prompt and friendly.
Overall, the food was great and contained great spices that were not only hot, but flavorful. Â The scale is from 1-5, 5 being the spiciest. Â We got all our dishes as 4, which was a good balance. Â My main complaint is that there were many fruit flies in the restaurant (they should try running bleach down the sinks) which was pretty annoying/distracting. Â Other than that, I will return and recommend it to anyone who wants a good kick to their food!
Don't go for the buffet.
If you're hungry and you need something fast, sure go ahead and order from the buffet. It won't be the best thing you ever ate, but it won't be the worst either. I prefer the chicken larb, some eggrolls, mok pa fish, and crispy chicken. But like I said, don't go for the buffet.
Don't go for the Thai menu either, for that matter. Yes, I know it's called Bangkok Golden, and I know that Bangkok is the capital of of Thailand, but ask for the Lao menu. It's the only reason why you should go there. This place has the most authentic Lao food you'll find in the DC/MD/VA area without being invited to the Lao Embassy for a reception or making a new Lao friend. Everything on the menu is good.
Remember that the Lao spicy scale starts where the Thai spicy scale stops. Get the papaya but don't try to be a hero and order the spiciest Lao version. It'll hurt you. Bad.
This place was really good. This is the only Thai Buffet that I know of. Â I came here for lunch twice and every time we go, my co workers and I are very full and happy. The Thai buffet is fresh, i really like the fact they cook everything in small portions to keep the food fresh.
The service was on par with other buffet restaurant, where they were constantly picking up my finish dishes and filling my glass of water.
I had their pad thai, drunken noddles, egg rolls, some curry dish, etc. They had really good Thai desserts which I really enjoy. I appreciated that they had Thai desserts and not an attempt to buy cake/cookies and call it a dessert. All were very good.
It was very delicious. I would recommend this place for lunch.
I love this place! I've only been here twice, once for the Thai buffet (how freaking awesome is that!?), and another time to sample their Lao menu because they offer dinner buffets on the weekdays.
When I found out there was a Thai buffet place in Va, I nearly fell out of my chair. I love Thai food and NoVa is blessed with an abundance of really good Thai restaurants. Their Thai buffet was pretty cheap, $13.95 for all you can eat Thai, too bad they don't include all you can drink Thai iced tea. That would be money. Anyways, there was at least 8-9 different options served at the buffet, pad thai, drunken noodles, crispy basil chicken, papaya salad, chicken ka prow and some other dishes. Everything was TASTY and I ate way too much of course because I couldn't stop piling the food on to my plate.
Would totally go back in a heartbeat.
This is the place to go for Laotian food. Â I haven't tried their Thai buffet yet. Â The Washington Post has raved about them, and recently included them in their 2011 Fall Dining Guide. Â
Laotian food is a little different. Â We use sticky rice as our utensil. Â Ball up a bite size and use it to pick up your food. Â Also, make sure to order a basket of rice per two diners to share (or ask for your own basket). Â The meal is family style so make sure to have your friends with you. Â Also everything is spicy.
I love everything here. Â For newcomers, I recommend the crispy rice salad. Â It's like a crispy version of fried rice and you wrap it in lettuce. Â Love their papaya salad with grilled wings. Â If you order larb or goi, make sure to order the soup too. Â Please order a bottle of Beer Lao!!!
