Thai Treasure is a culinary gem that shines brightly in the constellation of local eateries. This isn't just another Thai restaurant; it's a vibrant homage to the rich tapestry of Thai cuisine, served up in a modern setting that's as inviting as a warm smile. With service that makes you feel like royalty, it's no wonder this place has become a treasure trove for those in search of flavors that transport you straight to the heart of Thailand.
Our culinary expedition began with the Crab Rangoon, a playful yet sophisticated take on the classic appetizer. The delicately crispy pouches served with a side of sweet & sour sauce were a surprisingly great way to start the meal, much better than what we typically think of. It's a dish that says, "Welcome to flavor town, population: you."
Then came the Lava Beef, a dish so sizzling, it could melt even the coldest of hearts. The combination of beef, onion, bell peppers, and pineapple, all lovingly tossed in a honey pepper sauce and kissed by sesame oil, was a sweet and savory ballet that pirouetted right onto our taste buds. It wasn't just hot; it was volcanic, in the best possible way.
The journey continued with Pad Kee Mao, also known as Drunken Noodles. This dish, with its wide rice noodles, onion, bell peppers, tomato, and basil, was like a late-night adventure in Bangkok--bold, spicy, and utterly unforgettable. It's the kind of dish that makes you want to dance in the rain, or at least order another round.
Speaking of rounds, the Panang Chicken Curry was a knockout. The spicy, rich curry, infused with the zest of kaffir lime and studded with bell peppers and broccoli, was a masterclass in balance and flavor. It was like a hug from an old friend who just happens to be a Thai spice merchant--warm, comforting, and slightly spicy.
And let's not forget the cocktails and classic beverages, a liquid odyssey that's as daring as it is delicious. Thai Treasure's beverage menu is a treasure map that leads to bliss, with each drink more inventive and refreshing than the last. It's the perfect complement to a meal that's already overflowing with flavor and fun.
In essence, Thai Treasure is more than just a restaurant; it's a celebration of Thai culture, cuisine, and conviviality. With its modern vibe, exceptional service, and a menu that's both adventurous and authentic, it's a place where every meal feels like a...
Read moreIf I did not have Celiac’s I would give this place 4-5 stars, however I think that the staff needs to be educated on what gluten free actually means.
I ordered the drunken noodles from the lunch special, as the menu explicitly said they were gluten free. Usually this is not the case because they’re made with soy sauce, so I assumed they used tamari or another alternative. The lunch special also came with a small appetizer, but none of the options were gluten free and I was not offered any alternatives. When we had finished our meal the staff brought out a slice of the cheesecake with a candle for my birthday, which was very sweet. However we asked them several times if it was gluten free, and after going to “check,” they came back, confirmed, and said all their desserts were gluten free.
Needless to say, this is not true. I experienced horrible stomach pain and vomiting within an hour, and after checking the menu again online, their cheesecake is NOT listed as gluten free. This is a dangerous error on their part for people who truly can’t have gluten, and makes me question the validity of the rest of their “GF” items. I usually am not sensitive to gluten contamination or even accidentally consuming a small amount, so to have a reaction this strong makes me feel like things beyond the cake may have contained gluten.
The staff was kind, the food was piping hot, and the ambiance was great. However because of my personal experience I can not rate them highly. If you are unsure about ingredients, it is better to simply state that you don’t know rather than risk people...
Read moreAn incredible dining experience at a beautifully decorated Thai restaurant located in downtown Arlington. The ambiance is elegant yet cozy, with tasteful decor that truly sets the mood for a delightful meal. The location is convenient and easy to find, making it a perfect spot for a night out.
One of the highlights of my visit was the Thai iced tea. It was perfectly brewed, with just the right amount of sweetness and a creamy texture that made it absolutely refreshing. It was, hands down, one of the best I’ve ever had.
As for the food, the Thai treasure Pad Thai and Pineapple Fried Rice were both outstanding.
The Pad Thai had a perfect balance of flavors, with tender noodles, fresh vegetables, and a hint of tanginess from the tamarind sauce. The only weird part was the addition of Gouda cheese which did not enhance the dish for me.
The Pineapple Fried Rice was a delightful mix of sweet and savory, with juicy pineapple chunks, crunchy cashews, and perfectly cooked rice.
The sticky rice dessert was the best I've ever tasted. It was perfectly sweetened and paired beautifully with the fresh mango slices. Each bite was a harmonious blend of textures and flavors that left me wanting more.
I wish I had a bigger appetite to try more items from their extensive menu. Each dish that passed by looked incredibly tempting, and I can’t wait to return and explore more of their offerings. This place is a must-visit for anyone who loves...
