Pasa Thai — Restaurant in McLean

My wife and I were in the area and looking for a tasty spot. We definitely found it. The exterior of the restaurant doesn't look special. There is plenty of free parking directly outside the restaurant. The interior has a modern mix of modern photo art and traditional asian themes. The restaurant has a bar in the center with table seating surrounding it. All very clean and crisp. The menu has multiple photos of menu items and is easy to read. When the food came out it looked like the menu photos which rarely happens as we all know. Each dish had excellent flavor and good spice that you can ask to be raised or lowered when you order. We started out with the Tofu Tod. It was crispy and the sauce was delicious. We also had the thai iced coffee that had the perfect amount of sweetness and was very smooth. I had the Panang curry with chicken (white meat comes standard) and my wife had the Crispy Beef Basil. They were so good we joined the clean plate club. We then pressed our stomach 's with the mango sticky rice. It was epic. Total cost was $61.48. A bit much for a quick lunch but we will definitely be back. If for nothing else, the Thai iced coffee and mango...

This has been our go-to Thai for 7-8 years, however, we’ve noticed a decline in quality lately. We used to love their spring rolls which at one time contained meat, noodles, taro and other goodies. These days it mostly just cabbage, so basically just like an egg roll at a Chinese restaurant. The sauce also increasingly tastes like egg roll sauce straight from the jar. I ordered Pad Khing tonight requesting they sub mixed veggies for the mushrooms. In the past they might have subbed carrots and bamboo. Tonight it was celery. My daughter ordered Siam Beef, her fav, and it hurt her stomach. I ordered green curry a couple of weeks ago and it didn’t have a lot of flavor. So it’s a shame, hopefully they pull out of this. It’s a cute little place and the staff is super nice. I think we’ll go less often, but will likely check in from time to time to see if...

Did a carry out order few days ago, and I ordered $80 worth of food, the portions are a lot smaller than before, I ordered tom yum soup and my soup had 1 pc of really shrimp , a quarter size of a scallop 😳 and 3 tiny mushrooms in it the broth are watered down not as tasty as I had it before. My Chicken pad thai had just noodles and not much meat In it. I feel like I Totally got ripped off. As much as I wanted to support this local restaurant, I am not coming back again. In my opinion if they want local support they should be fair to their customers as well. Been cooking a lot at home and wanted some carry out food for a change, but it’s just disappointing, Il go somewhere else...
