Dok Khao

First time here & we will definitely be back :)The food was delicious! Our group got the Crispy Salmon Roll to start, the pad Thai, chicken fried rice, lemon chicken & the crispy duck basil as entrees all were phenomenal & flavorful! Finished it off with the chocolate lava cake (and I forget the other desserts name but it was on special this weekend) both were delicious. Our server was very friendly and helpful! Also we loved how cute the decor of the restaurant was. Can't wait to come back!

This restaurant has quickly become one of my favorites in the area. The lively atmosphere, enhanced by beautiful floral décor, creates a welcoming ambiance. Seating options include tables, booths, and a well-stocked bar with a wide variety of drinks. Although reservations aren't accepted, we were seated within 20 minutes, with nearby stores to explore while waiting.We started with the Crispy Fried Calamari, served with sweet chili sauce. Our entrées included the Lychee Duck Curry, offering a perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors; the Crispy Whole Flounder with tamarind chili sauce; and the classic Pad See Ew with beef, all of which were delicious.The Thai tea was also excellent. The extensive drink and cocktail menu is worth trying, and the dessert menu features pastries, waffles, ice cream, and sticky rice. I haven't tried the desserts yet but plan to on my next visit.

My friend and I enjoy exploring Thai restaurants together, and we found Dok Khao after seeing an Instagram reel. They are known their aesthetic desserts, so we drove over half an hour to see if it was worth the hype. We stopped by yesterday evening for dinner, and were seated upon arrival. The food came out quickly after we placed our order.YELLOW CURRY (W/ CHICKEN) - 17.95This came with a sizable bowl of yellow curry filled with chicken, potatoes, and carrots. The curry itself was very coconut milk heavy and creamy, but lacked depth and spices. It tasted pretty bland, with a 1D flavor profile. Additionally, the curry was supposed to be medium-level spice, but it wasn't spicy at all. The chicken breast were OK and absorbed the curry well. However, the potatoes and carrots were cut into big, awkward pieces. We were hungry, so we devoured the food, but it was not impressive.CRISPY PORK BASIL - 21.95The deep-fried pork belly pieces were cut into uneven, sized chunks, making it awkward and uncomfortable to eat. To make matters worse, the fried parts were incredibly stale and tough, making it hard to chew, so it was practically inedible. The sauce was extremely disappointing -- it lacked the expected basil flavor and tasted more like store-bought teriyaki sauce. The crispy pork basil was a complete flop, and we were shocked by its poor quality and execution.VOLCANO THAI TEA - 13.95After two subpar entrees, we had very low expectations for the iconic volcanic Thai tea bingsu. The dessert came wrapped in hard plastic, and when we pulled the plastic off, the cream cheese mousse and bingsu cascaded over the plate like molten lava. The presentation was very nice, and we had fun with the "volcanic" effect. To our surprise, the bingsu had a smooth texture, with a strong Thai tea flavor in each bite. The cream cheese mousse added a richer flavor, while the vanilla ice cream, graham cracker crumble, and berries were great complements. The dessert was not too sweet, and we were impressed with how tasty the bingsu was.Even though dinner was a complete flop, the dessert was delightful. I would come back for the Volcano Thai Tea, but I wouldn't try their savory options again.

This restaurant is super top tier and serves amazing Thai food!! The inside is decorated so well and they were able to easily sit our party of 12 (including 2 kids)! The staff are also very attentive, kind, and helpful.We did family-style and ordered a BUNCH of dishes and almost all of them were amazing! (Only complaint is the lamb in the massaman curry was a little tough and cold on the middle of each piece, but we forgave them because of the rest of the dishes haha) My personal favorites were the Cry Baby Noodles, Guay-Tiew Tom Yum, Lychee Duck Curry, and the Dok Khao Pad Thai. My brother-in-law, who lived in Thailand for 2 years, chose all the dishes and loved them all. This is THE place to eat when you're in Woodbridge and craving Thai food. It's a beautiful and very authentic restaurant that deserves more recognition!

Came back for another round with my friends! We all got he lychee thai tea cause it sounded yummy but...it just tasted like lychee iced tea with a slight thai tea aftertaste. I got the crybaby noodles and it was SO GOOD! I love the crunch from the celery and using thick noodles (pad see ew noodles) with red tofu, sausage, and shrimp was such a good combination. The sauce was light and mixed really well. My friend got the guay tiew tom yum and she really liked it! She chowed down fast and from the spoonful of soup I tasted, I thought it was really yummy. My friend got the dok khao pad thai with flank steak and she liked it! It was a good amount of spice for me and I thought the flavors blended in well with each other. We all shared the mango parfait for desert--it was basically like a deconstructed parfait on a plate. The sticky rice was very yummy and the fruits fresh. Downside was that the mango ice cream just tasted like vanilla and grabbing the mango from the way the cut it (seems to prioritize plating than function here cause I would've preferred slices) was so hard.

We love this place! Food is always fresh and delicious. Wonton soup is so yum! We got the dumplings as well and they give you a hefty side of dumpling sauce!Kids fried rice is a massive portion, as well as the other dish portions. We take it home and have the leftovers for dinner. Service is great, and I love the greenery all around the restaurant. Very clean bathrooms also. Menu items are a little pricey so we don't come here often as a family of 6. Other than that we just love coming here.

We were seated immediately and the ambiance was beautiful! We love it on a regular day but the added valentine decor was tasteful and well done. Our food came quickly and it tasted delicious as always! We started with some spring rolls which are our go to there. The sauce on the side is perfect. My husband got the Red Curry and I had the Siam Chicken. Both were great and SO much food. My drink was tasty (spicy daisy). Think spicy margarita almost but with a super cute presentation. Our go to Thai when we want a dine-in experience.

Amazing Thai Food with Incredible Service! Don Khao exceeded all our expectations! From the moment we walked in, the decorations and ambiance were absolutely on point, setting the perfect mood for our dining experience.The food? Simply amazing. We started with the larb gai, which was a heavenly blend of sweet, spicy, and savory flavors--truly a flavor explosion you can't imagine until you taste it. We also tried the duck rolls, which were delicious but could use a bit less breading and more duck to really shine. The street noodles were regular degular, but the Pad Ka Pow was solid and one of the better versions compared to others in the area.The true star of the night was the soft-shell crab curry--WOW! When I say we ate every last bite, I mean it. Nothing on that plate was spared! This dish alone is reason enough to visit Don Khao.What made the experience even more special was that I brought my older family members, who have a very traditional Vietnamese palette and don't usually stray far from familiar cuisines. They were thoroughly impressed and left highly satisfied, even recommending a return visit.If you're looking for incredible Thai food paired with an awesome ambiance, Don Khao is the place to go. Usually, you get one or the other, but Don Khao delivers both flawlessly. Highly recommend stopping by!

I found this restaurant on a trip to Wegmans. The staff was very welcoming, attentive and friendly. There are many offerings on the menu.I started with spring rolls. They were piping hot and crispy. Very good. For my entree I chose the green chicken curry and egg fried rice (small up charge). The dish was beautifully plated. The ingredients (chicken, bamboo shoots, and green pepper) were fresh andPerfectly cooked. I left a happy camper.

As always, this is my FAVORITE place to visit and it's always a craving to come have their food. I have tried so many Thai restaurants in this NOVA and none have come to beat this one yet!! The service is always kind and fast to everyone. The atmosphere is always classically beautiful, clean, and bright. I've probably been there a thousand times and can't wait to go a million times more! Their Pad Thai and Pad Si Ew is my favorites from the menu along with the spring roll appetizer. They have so many different types of drinks that it's endless and I always try a new one when I come. I've yet to be disappointed at all by them. GIVE THEM A TRY!!!
