Finn Thai Restaurant & Bar — Restaurant in Purcellville

We've been to Finn Thai a few times with family and friends - generally a good Thai restaurant. We called in two lunch carry-out orders from the "Lunch Selections" which indicates "All served with house salad." When we got home and realized the salads were missing, we immediately called - I was willing to return to pick up the salads. The person that answered the phone indicated that salads did not come with lunch carry out orders. Nowhere in the current on-line menu could we find that these salads are not included with carry out orders nor did the person taking the order indicate this deviation from the menu. Our paper menu is months old, but it is consistent with the on-line menu with respect to the discrepancy. (The menu also has a house salad in the "Soups & Salads" sections with no indication that you can't purchase one in a carry out order.) My husband called back again and confirmed with the person in charge that nowhere in the menu is there mention of the exclusion of salad in carryout lunch orders. (The manager or owner was not in or available to take the call.) We were surprised when this person in charge indicated they knew the menu was wrong. Also, when asked, this person indicated you can order a house salad (a bigger salad) to go and actually get it. I know it's only a salad (actually two salads), but I expect to receive what I pay for, not to get an explanation that I'm not receiving what I agreed to pay for after I've paid for the order. Generally, good food but we...

We have enjoyed this place in the past, but last night my wife and I got sick on the chicken satay. We ate different foods all day and felt good. We then got 3 dishes from Finn Thai for dinner. I was greedy and ate 4 of the 5 chicken satays to include the sauces. My wife ate the other one. Thankfully my daughter doesn't like chicken satay. Two hours later I started to get chills, aches, fever, nausea, and a headache that I couldn't get rid of. Hours later my wife started to get these symptoms. I am fully confident in saying that we got ill from your food. With me being the worse off and then my wife. My daughter has zero symptoms after 24 hours because she didn't eat the satay. I like to support our local restaurants, but not at the cost of my health. I will not be eating here for a long time now. Probably ruined my crave for Thai food too. Food poisoning is awful. I also noticed that on January 4th your restaurant was written up by a Food Inspector for Raw animal food (shell eggs) stored over ready-to-eat food in the walk-in refrigeration unit. Corrective Actions: Store raw animal foods (shell eggs) below ready-to-eat foods to prevent...

We ordered take out on a Sunday night. The staff were pleasant and friendly. I wanted to try the food and regret not posting a more positive review. Perhaps the restaurant had a better chef from the positive reviews that led me to try the food? The food was prepared fast and portions were generous. However the firecracker chicken was over cooked, thinly sliced, with little batter to encourage tenderness and tough and stringy to the point a steak knife failed to cut it. It tasted left over or possibly has been cooked and reheated. The pad Thai was sour, starchy with little to no flavor and even the peanuts tasted stale. My friend said it was the worse he’s ever had and I agree. The Penang curry was watery but tasted ok with over cooked vegetables - not anything special. The restaurant needs to improve its cooking techniques and use fresher ingredients. Perhaps hire a new chef otherwise I can’t see how they can survive with better Thai restaurants in the area. I will not try other dishes here. I would recommend Thai Pan. I did not have the sushi however will not try it as the food I tried had a stale quality. I’d recommend...
