Beau Thai: Reviews & Ratings
Everything was 1st class kudos to the hosts and bartender Papaya salad and green curry off the hook
I came here for dinner with a friend one night. The directions to this restaurant are a bit confusing as it doesn't locate it exactly but nonetheless I found it. The ambiance of the restaurant was dim but not too dim, and quiet. I was a bit thrown off by the elementary school classroom chairs. They were really low, uncomfortable, and not tall person friendly. I ordered the drunken noodles with shrimp and decided to forgo any appetizer options. The drunken noodles were flavorful and really spicy how I prefer them to be. I wouldn't dine in again but I'd definitely order takeout.
I've only ever gotten takeout from Beau Thai, so I can't speak to the environment inside. The shrimp cakes are a delicious appetizer and come with a sweet chili dipping sauce. I always go with the pad thai which is the best in DC. As you can see however it's a small portion. Prices have been going up and it looks like it's now $17 which in my opinion is overpriced for what it is. I may order from them again when I have a craving, but hard to justify.
Solid Thai spot in Logan Circle/Shaw. We showed up at peak dinner time on Saturday but managed to sneak into what might've been the last table. If possible I'd make a reservation. We tried a variety of dishes, including pad see ew, drunken noodles, kao pad nam prik pao, and yellow curry. I think everything came out well, though there wasn't anything incredible. I am always partial to pad see ew and Beau Thai did an excellent job. The beef was flavorful and approaching melt-in-your-mouth status. The vegetables were cooked to a nice crisp-tender. If I were to nitpick, I'd say that the noodles clumped together just a little bit, but it really wasn't that big of an issue. Ambiance is a little on the darker side but it is still a really nice place, in my opinion. I would definitely come back!
I liked my experience at Beau Thai! I'm surprised at the relatively low rating on Yelp. The inside of the restaurant is spacious, casual, and ambient. The Pad Thai and Pad Se Ew were delicious and well made. The Pork Belly appetizer was so good, and I think it's a great price for what you get. In addition, I was happy with the Beau Thai Iced Coffee cocktail that I ordered. I definitely plan to come back.
Just delicious and filling. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and the service. A beautiful space and an authentic experience. So glad we stopped by! Highly recommend
On a quick trip to DC I found this place. I was really tempted by the seasonal curry and went for the pumpkin red curry and a side of steamed buns. Neither disappointed! The curry was flavorful and had just the right amount of a kick to it. The steamed buns were good and came with a soy sauce with maybe some yuzu in it? Either way it was a great combo and I enjoyed my meal. I would definitely try more options when next I'm in DC.
Nothing better than udom curry and noodles on a rainy day. Also, excellent. Always consistent.
