My husband's favorite cuisine is Thai. But he's been woefully disappointed with many Thai restaurants purporting to serve authentic thai but actually serving American-Thai food. Where can I can find the best tasting and most authentic food to surprise him with? I live in VA but will drive to DC if necessary. |

Little Serow is a good suggestion, except for the huge wait times.
Nava Thai and Ruan Thai in Wheaton are pretty good. I've had good food at Mango Tree but I haven't tried the new DC outpost. You might want to check out Thip Khao-- it's a new Laotian restaurant which has pretty authentic flavors. |

Thai Square -
http://www.thaisquarerestaurant.com/ It is small but makes no compromises. Food can be scarey spicy and garlicky. |

Little Serow is amazing--and it's not bad waiting in line on a nice night. Or, you can go wait in line and then tell him to meet you there at 5:30.
I've heard good things about Soi 38, but I haven't been. I'm not a huge fan of Doi Moi, but some people love it. |

NP. Funny, I was just teaching my kid about offensive Asian stereotypes yesterday, using these kinds of jokes as a "teachable moment". |

| Absolute Thai in McLean, on Beverly Road. No wait. Incredible food. I know someone who has lived in Thailand for years and that's the only restaurant he ever wants to visit when he's in town. |

| Lived in Bangkok for two years and Thai Square is as close as it gets. |

Not an "offensive stereotype", since they actually do eat rat, dog, and monkey in Southeast Asia. |

| Probably too far, but Sabai Sabai in Germantown is very good. |
