Is there anywhere in DC proper like this Thai restaurant?

Columbia is just too far for a meal but it looks really good. Would love something like this closer.

Siam House right by the Cleveland Park Metro is really delicious, underrated, I think.

Not DC proper but much closer than Columbia: Charm Thai in downtown Silver Spring is excellent. Their dishes I find run slightly oilier and notably spicier as a default than Siam House, but still very good. A standby.

Both have extremely nice staff and owners.

Siam House is lovely but has maybe 3 inside tables, and a half dozen outside. It's tiny.

Thai Chef was historically good, although I haven't been in 10+ years. https://www.thaichefdmv.com/dc

Soi 38 is good. My favorite was Thai Xing but they closed.
Not Thai, but Lao - Thip Khao in Columbia Heights is terrific.

Ruan Thai in Wheaton is great, if you can venture out to the not too distant suburbs.

What am I missing - besides the sweets that looks like every generic americanized thai place all over the DC area. There is one every half mile all over the suburbs in VA and MD

Soi 38 has menu items I've never see at any other Thai restaurants in the US but have seen in Thailand and other countries. Worth checking out.

I've ordered from here (very close to where I am) but have only gotten my classics. What do you recommend here to branch out?

Regent Thai in Adams Morgan is my fave.

RIP Little Serow, formerly the best Thai place in DC.

Thanks for all of the recommendations! I have been to many of the ones mentioned, I guess what stood out was the ambiance and drinks, just felt like a different vibe than most Thai places I’ve been to.
