Thai Curry — Restaurant in Arlington

Update: I unfortunately have to take away a star now. This week I ordered the green curry again and yet again, there was no eggplants. There wasn’t any bell peppers in it either so it was literally just chicken and bamboo shoots. I’m really disappointed. I ordered the dish wanting everything inside the dish that was listed on the menu so that was sad. Guess it’s time to find a different go-to Thai spot now.

Original: My husband and I have ordered take out from here a few times and we have generally been very pleased. My only complaint is that this past time, I ordered their green curry because I wanted eggplant and in my curry, there was absolutely no eggplant :( I was really disappointed but the flavor of the curry was still great so I won't hold this one-time miss against them. I personally really like ordering from them because unlike a lot of other Thai/Asian restaurants, after I eat their food I never feel insanely thirsty like I can drink a gallon of water. This tells me they either use no MSG or minimal MSG, and I really appreciate that. The flavor is all there and I feel healthier than eating at some other restaurants. Also, I love spicy food so I like that they use good heat here but for those who are sensitive, their "spicy" is preeeeeetty spicy so choose your level...

RACIST! I used to frequent this spot. I typically come in after work in professional attire around 945pm and I have always received service, except for today, which ironically happened to be my birthday so the frustration was a bit increased. On this particular night, I came after I had changed my clothes and taken my hair down, which happens to be long dreadlocks. As soon as I walked in, the cashier hollered repeatedly, “we’re closed!” Then he and a female began to insist that they always close at this time, which I knew was incorrect because I came at the time I usually do. A big reason for that being that all online and store information states that they do not close until 10pm. They repeatedly insisted that the kitchen always closed early. Then it dawned on me…I was not professionally dressed on this particular night. It was not the best feeling to realize the true feelings of one of my favorite area restaurants of the past 4 years. The experience definitely left a bad taste...

This place is a bit frustrating. Let me say I like the flavor of their yellow curry but seriously... for THE PRICE... they give you as few potatoes, carrots and rice as possible. This is my third time trying and hoping there will be more the next time and even asking and requesting more... nothing. This last time, I ended up ordering more rice and paying for it and added additional veggies in the selection and still not satisfied. I think they try to give you as little food as possible while charging you higher then normal pricing. I am now going to the other Thai place down the road because I am tired of dealing with this place. As you can imagine, the other place does give me enough rice, and veggies and it taste great too! Wow! Look at that! I just really wanted this place to work out because it’s closer to my house. Done...
