Have been picking up takeout from this neighborhood staple for 26 years and I know people who have been eating here since 1990. D Thai Chinese is apparently a one-woman operation; the owner takes orders, cooks, serves etc. all by herself, and she is so sweet and friendly. I can only respect how D Thai's prices remain lower than other Thai/Chinese places in the area, although the prices have been raised in the last year or so (two dollars up per lunch and dinner special). The quality of the food however has remained reliably good, fresh cooked to order, and flavorful. I don't know enough about Chinese or Thai cooking to comment on how authentic it is, but it's pretty good in my opinion and that's what matters most to me. I've tried most of the menu over the years and the standouts to me are the fried rice, thai basil chicken, mongolian beef, beef salads, and pad see ew. The majority of the menu is four stars, but those are the five star items in my experience. Be advised, cash only and takeout only! For what it is -- a takeout Asian hole-in-the-wall restaurant -- D Thai is a respectable local treat that I will allow myself pretty regularly within my budget. Since the owner lady is so likeable and impressive, and the food is plentiful and decent quality for your dollar, I have to rate this place five stars overall. Thank you, nice owner lady, for your years of providing your good food and service to Westminster's hungry and...
Read moreI love this place! The food is great! My go to dishes are the Stir Fry Chili and Mint with Ground Pork and add a Fried Egg on top, the Pad See-Ew with Extra Chinese Broccoli, or the Pad Woon Sen. Occasionally I get the Curry Chicken, Curry Fish or the Chicken Chop Suey, but I have tried a lot of the menu and have never been disappointed. it's like home cooked dining!
It's run by one lady, she answers the phone, waits on the tables, serves, cleans, and cooks! She does it all, but because of this your dining experience could take a while, and she is very busy all the time! However, the reason she is busy is because the food is awesome and she is so nice! She cares very much about her customers, especially if you are a regular.
I'm lucky in that I work nearby so we come here about once a week. Like I said, highly...
Read moreIf some friends hadn't told me about this place I never would've even bothered with this tiny, unassuming place next to a donut store. Sure enough, ONE lady runs the whole joint, and she's as nice as she can be. I've been here for dinner twice now (one of the very few who actually dine in--a bulk of their business does seem to be takeout) and both have been very good experiences. It's like going over to a kindly aunt's place; everything tastes homemade. Nothing fancy about the decor or food, but the place is clean and the food is solid. So far I've had the beef chow fun, pad thai, crab fried rice and egg rolls--all good. Thai iced coffee was delish as well. It's not the best place if you're in a hurry, but if you've got the time it's...
