Garnjana Thai Restaurant — Restaurant in Virginia

I love this restaurant so much- it’s incredible. My mother introduced me to it because she loves the food. I hadn’t really had Thai food before and I can be a very picky eater. I’m also not a fan of hot/spicy food, so I was hesitant, but decided to give it a try anyway. Oh my gosh, I’m so thankful I did! I was amazed at how good the food was. I ordered from here tonight for dinner, too, and the food was awesome. Like awesome to the point that you start dancing around while you eat. My mom was legit upset because she was too full to eat more of her food. One of the best things about this restaurant, to me, is that you can customize your food in pretty much any way. You don’t want it spicy? No spice. You want some extra basil? You get extra basil. You want no mushrooms? Guess what? You get no mushrooms. They even have the option to make dishes vegan. I love this about Garnjana so much. The food is fresh, it’s tasty, and it’s plentiful. I feel like you get your money’s worth.

Also, they make some good chicken soup. My dad got some once in the past because he was sick, and he loved it. It helped him feel better.

I’ve had their chicken soup as well. It made me feel better, too, and I wasn’t even sick! Haha.

Anyway, I would recommend this restaurant to everyone. Even if you think you don’t like Thai food (or perhaps even Asian food in general), you should still give Garnjana a try. I think you’ll really like it.

The dining room is cozy -- they definitely seem to cater to take-out orders at this suburban location -- but the food and service were excellent. I was visiting family and we brought two kids who just wanted pancakes for dinner. By the time we left they were insisting we give a rave review. The boys (9 and 11) shared their first ever mussa-man curry. They asked for extra rice so they could eat all the curry. The flavor was spot on, tender meat, mildly spiced but perfect for the kids. The panang curry was a little spicy for them but I loved it. My wife ordered her usual pad see ew and the sauce on it was outstanding. The bubble teas for the kids were very generous on the bubbles and my wife's Thai iced tea was perfectly strong and sweet. Overall it was an excellent experience for two out-of-towners looking for a favorite cuisine. I'd stop here again in...

This is one of those somewhat upscale places hidden in a more industrial strip mall. The dining room is intimate and appointed in a pretty manner, and though the surfaces are hard, sound does not echo much. Staff members are attentive and discrete, very skilled.

Menu selection is MASSIVE, and all of the food is delicious. Both authentic and American-oriented versions of dishes seem to be available, and there are no signs of mass-production or large-scale pre-preparation. Portions are ample. Even the drinks seem to have just that little bit of extra care taken with them. A take-out counter rests in the atrium of the dining room, and the food dispensed there appears to be the same quality as that served at table.

Do not let the location turn you off of trying Garnjana. This gem of a Thai restaurant is perfect for dining from deeply casual to...
