Mum Aroi

Mum Aroi became my top 2 favorite Thai restaurants in the DMV. We stopped by a few minutes after opening on Saturday ready to eat. After perusing through the menu, we noticed the extremely affordable pricing of all the items where most of them were under $20??? In this day and age, that's crazy.STIR-FRIED BABY CLAM WITH CHILI PASTE - 18This was definitely my favorite dish out of the four. There was a generous amount of clams, each one soaked up a good amount of the rich black bean and garlic sauce, which really elevated their sweet and tender flavors. I even drizzled some of the sauce over the rice that we got on the side. The only issue we encountered was that a few of the clams weren't thoroughly washed, leaving some residual shell fragments.DRUNKEN NOODLE (PAD KEE MAO) - 13They didn't use much dark soy sauce to add a deeper brown coloring for the drunken noodles, so the color of the dish ended up lighter than what we're used to. However, the flavor was spot on. The basil sauce was lightly spiced from the red chili bits, giving the dish a perfect balance of sweet and savory. The basil added a subtle, earthy note.KHAO NIAOW MOO PING - 12Each order comes with four long skewers of Thai BBQ pork, accompanied by a tangy sauce on the side and served with sticky rice in a bamboo basket. The moo ping was incredibly juicy, flavorful, and tender. The marinade was on the sweeter side with some umami from the fish sauce. They were perfectly grilled and went well with the sticky rice. Absolutely delicious, this was a close second for me.TOM YUM NOODLES SOUP - 15Tom yum noodle soup is a classic that we had to get. The noodles were on the softer side and soaked up the savory, sour broth nicely. There was plenty of minced pork, fish balls, and green onions for toppings. While it was good and warmed us up, I didn't think it was anything out of the ordinary.The three of us ate until we were stuffed and still had leftovers. After tax and tip, I think we paid less than $25 per person. I would definitely come back to order the stir-fried clams and moo ping again. I also would love to try their boat noodle soup, crispy duck basil, and crispy flounder fish.

Ordered takeout delivery of fried chive dumplings, sun dried beef, and Pad Thai Noodles with shrimp.Chive dumplings were a bit gelatinous. I thought they were ok. But then I put them in the air fryer two days later and they were awesome. I get it now. Dipping sauce was perfect. I would order it again but air fry to crisp it back up. The beef, as other Yelpers noted, was the best. The flavor was incredible. The portion was generous. This is a must get dish. I skipped the sauce and ate them "plain". They are not plain The Pad Thai, the dish all Thai restaurants will be judged, was deemed to be worthy. Very, very good! Packaging was great too. Would order out again but would also like to try this restaurant "in person"!

Yes yes yes. Brought mom here for her birthday because she loves Thai food and we wanted something close by and the pictures proved our choice right! We chose to order some items to share so we could try more things.The best thing we ordered was the sun dried beef but everything we ordered was super flavorful and tasty. The meats were all tender! You can't go wrong with anything you order here. The restaurant had really cute decor for pictures! Service was quick and we hardly waited anytime after ordering. Forgot to take a picture of the mango and sticky rice because we ate it so fast!If you're in the area, you must stop by - you won't regret it!

Mum Aroi is an absolute hidden gem of a Thai restaurant located in Bailey's Crossroads. The two of us got beef boat noodles, fried chives dumplings, and drunken noodles to share. After we placed our order, they brought out a variety of chili oil/paste (very spicy so be careful!), flakes, and sweet chili sauces. The fried chives dumplings have a crispy surface and bursted with a rich savory flavor - highly recommend this dish for the appetizer!Beef boat noodles came out in a boat shape bowl (very fitting!) and the broth was so tasty. You get to choose from beef or pork for the protein and a variety of different noodles (I got the thin noodles).The drunken noodles, the classic Thai dish, had the perfect amount of sweet and spicy kick. You can choose the protein and we got pork, and it was juicy and tender. Mum Aroi has a pretty big menu with classic Thai dishes and house specials. I can't wait to visit again and try out other dishes!

My Kao Soi was amazing they took over from the former owners of Rebeing. I was told the new owners currently Mum Aroi are from the North of Thailand so they do excellent Kao Soi. I will go back. I recommend it. I'm confident in my review even for loyal Rebeing and Duangrat customers.

We were big fans of Rabieng and found out it was closed early summer. The Thai restaurant is now Mum Aroi, offering similar thai street food dishes.It was great to see that the restaurant was renovated. The lighting, the fixtures, the decorations all look new and modern. Service was awesome. We had a 10 month old and 4 staff came out to help with the high chair - it is a small restaurant and a high chair could occupy most of the hallway. The two waitresses were nice enough to play with my impatient baby.Duck noodle soup was my favorite dish in Rabieng. The broth was great at Mum Aroi, but it was a very small bowl for $15. Fried calamari was subpar, it tasted like microwaved calamari. The catfish salad was tasty but small for the price. Lastly my husband ordered a pineapple fried rice and he thought it was ok. I was still hungry after dinner and we went to the Thai grocery next door. They have a separate to go menu - I ended up ordering a $12 Hainanese chicken to go. After eating that, I felt full. Overall, they have a big menu and the price looks attractive but keep in mind they are relative to the food portion. We will still come again to try out other dishes.

We recently tried this restaurant after finding it through Google. We were amazed by how tasty all of our food was. We had the Khao Soi, which is a hard to find northern Thai dish. It was delicious! In fact it was so good, we devoured it before we got a photo.Something else that was unique to this place is the craft "Thai" beer, which is actually from a local MD brewery. The specialty lager and IPAs both paired well with our food. We will definitely be back!

First time here. The restaurant is decorated very nicely. It's clean and bright. I ordered a shrimp and eggplant dish. It was not too spicy and hit the savory flavors well. I wish the serving size was a bit larger. I finished off my lunch with a mango and sweet rice dessert. It was slightly salty and sweet. It was a very nice way to finish my experience. I'd recommend coming here. The selection of dishes isn't overwhelmingly large but there seems to be something for everyone.

I came here forgetting that Rabieng had closed down recently. I was relieved to see that Mum Aroi, a Thai restaurant, is now located here.The service here is fine, and the staff are friendly and very helpful. It hasn't changed much in atmosphere.I ordered the spring rolls as appetizers, and they tasted fresh and piping hot: the way I like 'em. You receive three.For the entree, I picked the crispy duck basil as one of their specialties. This is a typical favorite whenever I see it on the menu. Crispy? Yes. Basil? Yes. As for spicy, I was expecting medium spicy, but it was more like a light spicy, and yet the duck was crunchy, moist and flavorfulI definitely wanted to leave the restaurant with a sweet note/taste. So I got their coconut ice cream with nuts on top. It was a nice ending to the meal experience, although it was a bit smaller than expected.I hope to try more stuff in the future.3.75 stars out 5 stars

The food and service were excellent! Fried items were in a very delicate batter cooked to perfection. Noodle dishes were also perfectly prepared, tasty and served hot. One of the best Thai restaurants in Nova. Conversation was easy, and atmosphere was subdued and relaxed.
