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

Lack of authentic components such as rat, dog, or monkey.


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


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

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

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.

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.

Thai Square -

It is small but makes no compromises. Food can be scarey spicy and garlicky.

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.

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.
