Thai Mom — Restaurant in Vienna

Thai mom is one of the most authentic Thai places I have had not just in the DMV but the US. And not only are the flavors authentic, but it's authentically DELICIOUS and they really are generous with their portions for the proteins. I unfortunately only found the restaurant after I moved to DC and went to Vienna for a vet appointment but ever since then I go every time to pick food up after my annual vet appointments.

First of all it's really hard to find restaurants that have a dish with the raw shrimp and Thai mom has TWO types, one with the green sauce and garlic and a mango salad one; both dishes are AMAZING. I'm pretty sure they actually handmake all of their sauces because I do not get that generic Thai flavor that I get at most DMV/US Thai restaurants eg the sauce for their crispy tofu or the seasonings of steak salad, and the street food versions of the tom yum and duck noodle soups. The duck noodle soup is insanely deep in flavor without having a strong sickly sense of MSG and the tom yum is actually reminiscent of those I've had in Thailand in it's flavor profile vs all of the generic lemongrass forward blandish type flavor that US Thai restaurants have. The fact their tom yum has liver should tell you something! Also, their papaya salad with crabs is insanely flavorful with the perfect amount of zest (I am very spiteful of papaya salads that are not strong in the zing of citrus) and spice and the crab even had eggs (a surprising delight for my Korean self). Be warned though, I have a high spice tolerance and the Thai spice is very barely tolerable and the spicy is even pretty spicy without rice or a dairy. You're in luck though because Thai mom has had the most fragrant and flavorful Thai iced coffee and Thai iced tea; and they don't skimp on the tea portion (4/5 full in the to-go cup of tea vs 1/2 to 3/5 full in many...

Never again ! Ordered takeaway First : the place smells as you walk in … I ordered 1. So called seafood soup 2. Thai spicy duck curry . Seafood soup ; should not be called seafood soup at all ( has 1 shrimp, 1 clam everything else was mushrooms & 1 cherry tomato that’s it ) . I called & let them know . Then moved on to the duck yikes ! The most rubbery chewy ducks I’ve ever had with a very distinctive smell . It was 8pm tried to push myself to eat it but it was truly not edible at all :(( I called again & said I have to return it for them to see the texture !! , owner kept arguing & arguing . I drove back again 8:30pm spoke to the owner in all honesty . At that point it wasn’t about the money as much as it was I wanted them to see how terrible the texture was . The Audacity of the owner to say “ have you had duck before ? This is how it tastes . The soft duck is not a true quality duck ! I explained to her it’s the zillion times I’ve had it around Vienna, falls church and DC never have I tasted something like that - it should be very soft never chewy with that smell .! Her response wasn’t the greatest . She voided the charge citing “ because I was honest with her !!! It’s sad that for over $30 meal to get such quality . There’s a lot of competition out there . Quality is shameful . Plus. I’m inquired when did they open ? They said it’s the very same place that was there earlier just changed the name to MAMA THAI because license expired! The whole thing is just not right...

The accompanying peanut sauce is equally delightful, with a creamy and nutty flavor that complements the chicken satay perfectly. The satay is served with a side of fresh cucumber and tangy dipping sauce, enhancing the overall taste experience.
