Roses Luxury
Fiola Mare
The Italian Store
Elephant Jumps
Seasons 52
Le Diplomate - Not bad, but usually oversalted
Taco Bamba
Barley Mac
Blue Duck

I enjoy:
Tail up Goat
Rasika
Thip Khao, although some dishes are not good

I thought this was just kinda hole in wall place - not really hyped up. It's good Thai - nothing over the top. Sisters Thai belongs more on this list - good but also nothing special (other than quirky design).

Hate Sisters Thai. It’s Thai food for white people who have not idea what real Thai food tastes like. The pad Thai is fluorescent orange. Hated everything there. And pricey.

I love Sisters Thai for the atmosphere and the staff. The food is not amazing, but it's still good. While I wouldn't hype it up to anyone, it's still a nice option to have a catch up lunch with a friend. I find their vegetable-focused dishes to be best.

Founding Farmers is so bad that when people recommend it I feel bad for them.

THIS! It was good and innovative 20 years ago. Not worth it now. I also think they are Trump supporters.

The chef is gay. I highly, highly doubt it.

I went to planta once and thought it was terrible and people rave about it.

Thai is really hit or miss here and it’s mainly miss so I’d be interested to hear what you think is okay. Le Dip is fine. It’s like Starbucks. You get what you expect.

Sister Thai is awful. I don't understand why people like it. IMO, Kiin Imm Thai is much better, but not by a huge margin.

I used to live in CA, and there were some amazing Thai restaurants.

I also found FF meh, and Cooper's Hawk meh but definitely better than FF.

I don't find Stanford Grill all that great, either.

Rose’s Luxury was a huge disappointment when we went a few years back

Planta is always packed. I have no idea why. It's overpriced for such small, meh-tasting portions.

Le diplomate for sure. Why is it so greasy?!

Really? I am hyper critical and think DC has a terrible food scene but think the quality is really good and think the menu is well done. Ambiance is also beautiful.
