Nara Thai - Washington Reviews
Always a go to for Thai for us. Can't go wrong with pretty much anything on the menu. Our favorites are pad see ew, pad Thai, drunken noodle, Pad Kra Pow. Always a good experience here. We order regularly for pick up. FYI- the garage is now paid, but if you ask they will validate.
I stopped by for a post-theatre late lunch so it was very quiet except for steady take-out orders. I ordered hot jasmine tea, Tom Yum soup with chicken and Green Curry Beef. The temperature of everything was hot and the spice levels were as requested (I requested mild on the green curry). The green curry dish comes with eggplant, basil, red bell peppers and I chose green beans as the side. Very tasty! My waiter was very considerate and kept checking to see that everything was good. The prices were reasonable and I will definitely return.
Parking, structure behind the restaurant and they provided 2 hours free. Saturday afternoon, the restaurant was basically empty, one other couple there. It's a nice quaint storefront, the bar looked like they could make anything and a good selection of beers. Something that I believe a lot of places could work on, the staff that seats you or brings the menu's, it doesn't hurt to be friendly. Return a "hello", something, just a little welcoming. Remember, you more employees than customers at the time we came in. The good, drunken noodles slightly more than mild spice were delicious. The spice went well with the Chang beers. We also got the Thai wings, really not something I would order again. Pretty basic. Even the dipping sauce "sweet Thai" wasn't much help. We were in Houston for the weekend and thought we would give Thai a try, I'd go back to try anything spicy and have a beer with it.
Was craving Tom Yum soup, so I picked Nara Thai tonight. Really good broth. Even at a spice level 1 it had some kick. I was worried the bow wouldn't be big enough, but it was a good portion size. Only thing I would maybe change is more cilantro, less mushrooms. I also ordered some fresh rolls to start. There were 2 rolls cut in half, and they were very large. A good size appetizer for 2 people. Few other items on the menu looked good that I may have to try next time. The eggplant basil and the fried rice dishes caught my attention. They were not too busy with dine-in, but there was a steady stream of to-go orders. The restaurant has a nice open and clean feeling to it. Neat decor around the bar too.
