This is definitely one of the better Thai places we have been to in the DC area. Prices weren't cheap, per se, but were totally fair given the quality and presentation of the food, the attentiveness of the service, and the upscale ambiance.I also appreciated how much more extensive this menu was than many other Thai restaurants I have been to, with creative options I haven't seen elsewhere. While they had standards like drunken noodles (which both of the other people eating with me ordered), I got a fried cod with a chili sauce that was really nice and different. We also had a savory fried plantain appetizer that was really nice and almost meaty. I love fried plantains but am used to them being much sweeter, rather in SE Asian restaurants or Caribbean ones.Definitely recommend.

Ate here in a Sunday. A bit of a challenge, since I don't like spicy food and my friends is allergic to crustaceans. This eliminated a good portion of the menu especially since they do not have a separate oil for frying that dishes containing crustaceans were fried in. We started with roti duck roll (with the hype and would get again), the special lychee dumplings (delicious and interesting combo of meat and sweet fruit), and the satay skewers (recommended by the waiter and would get again).For our mains we got the seared sea scallops (good), pad Thai with chicken (very good), and the whole fried rock fish (he decided to chance it and take a pill). For the rock fish, we substituted the Asian Caesar for the spicy simple salad. It was delicious.Atmosphere is elegant and hard to believe one is on Colombia pike. Service was excellent. Will return!

Yummm-E. Came for a weekend bite. It didn't disappoint. The food was delicious and very flavorful. The sesame beef and Tom Yum soup were absolutely delectable.

My friend and I checked out a new fragrance spot around the corner and decided we wanted Thai. We came here and parking was pretty easy. We were a little confused on if we were supposed to go upstairs but we stayed downstairs since we saw people eating. As we were being seated a couple said the food was delicious and named a few items to get. We were seated immediately and the service was PROMPT, that was lovely! I ordered tea, Thai fried rice spicy and my friend ordered a few things on the menu as well. I was so excited for the rice and it was just the rice spice I needed. Everything was delicious and IF I was back in the are son would absolutely return! Great choice, I highly recommend. Em

What a good place to eat. The duck rolls, papaya salad, and chicken ka prow are my favorites. This is a delicious spot, and lots of choices on the menu. Prices have gone up, but this is everywhere due to inflation. Hoping one day it'll drop a little, but a lot of economic reasons are in play. Their meals are good size, and the quality is excellent.Parking can be a headache. It's Baileys Crossroads after all. Be careful as nearby route 7 is a cluster. Service is top notch though. Every visit I've been pleased, by how well the servers do. Also the interior is stunning. An impressive place, and the ladies I've brought here agree it's solid!

Returned after years specifically for the chicken Bhram entree (chicken curry w cabbage). The dish was much sweeter and the sauce more soupy (watery) than I recall. Too sweet actually. Not enough Napa cabbage and too many bitter stalk pieces to my disappointment. I also ordered pork spring rolls which had a slight stale after taste but not bad enough to not eat one. Thai Fried rice w pineapple added for an extra $1.50 was unremarkable and lacked flavor. Service was pleasant enough. Had to pour my own water. Maybe it's customary here. Dining room is still festive red. I was also disappointed that the colorful chocolate coated mints they offered for decades are replaced by something far less satisfying.

Duangrat's is an authentic Thai Restaurant in Falls Church, VA. The interior was beautiful. They have weekly specials. Tara and I shared Soft Fresh Rolls, which consisted of soft rice rolls filled with Chinese BBQ sausage, egg, Tofu, bean Sprouts, and cucumbers, topped with Hoisin sauce. They were sliced. It was unique and quite tasty. Tara enjoyed the Shrimp Potpourri, while I enjoyed the Tropical Fried Rice. It would have been cool if my Tropical Fried Rice was served in a pineapple shell. The portions were generous and had leftovers.

Really enjoyed my first experience here at this [relatively] historic institution. It claims to the first Thai restaurant of its kind in the area, opening in 1987 and winning several local culinary awards and recognitions in the ensuing decades.The interior of the restaurant is beautifully decorated in red, gold, and white, with lots of relics from Thai culture adorning the space. The service was friendly and professional. I had the Yen Ta Fo (Thai pink noodle seafood soup - $15 during lunch) and it was delicious, and very filling. Would absolutely recommend.

This review is for One Night in Bangkok - Duangrat's second floor.Formerly known as Rabieng, they refurbished the upper floor of the restaurant and rebranded it as One Night in Bangkok. The menu focuses on Thai street food. We love the food, my favorite dishes are the Duck noodle soup, fried calamari, chicken satay, and the coffee. Service is great as always, there's less traffic as Rabieng and they are able to serve efficiently. Highly recommend this place!
