Padaek - Falls Church

I ordered the red curry and laos papaya salad. The flavor was just okay; wasn 't great, wasn 't terrible. The most disappointing thing was that I intentionally chose this restaurant since it 's more laos focused, which is supposed to be more spicy than Thai. I got medium thai spicy and was disappointed. Luckily, I have thai chili peppers at home so I chopped four more into each dish. They 're overpriced, especially considering the size of what you get and the fact that it leans more towards bland tasting.

Delicious Laotian food that is mind blowing because it's not available anywhere else. We got these to bring home with us. The papaya salad is flavorful and so delicious. It's not too spicy for me but for others, it might be mouth burning so be careful when order. I don't know what's the other one called but the crispy rice salad is so unique and have a flavorful coconut taste. Crispy and very flavorful, you don't even need any sauce! The sausage is delicious as well. Totally recommending this place if you want authentic laotian fold in the dmv area.

I used to love this spot but the food quality has dropped significantly

Great Thai food!! Both of us had chicken pad Thai. Loved it and will order again! Been to many Thai restaurants around Falls Church but this is now our #1

Very authentic South East Asian dishes. The Mee Kathi that i ordered was very tasty with enough coconut milk and just spicy to my taste. Highly recommend.
