Cute neighborhood place. Good food but nothing spectacular The atmosphere is quite nice but I didn’t like how loud it was, a problem created by the owners because they have a boomer box on the counter blasting music so everyone inside who talked needed to yell. We sat outside despite the chill and rain. They have large parasols

Great Thai food, had one of my fav is the papaya salad, so far one of the best within the DMV. Perfect spice!!!! The basil rice was a little spicy for me (even tho I asked for level 3) if you don’t like it hot ask for level -0 – to be honest everything we order was good. Will definitely visit them again soon.
Service was great as well even tho they got busy quick they still make sure all patrons were tended to.

The perfect ending to a wonderful day. My friend and I shared Red Curry Delight with Chicken and Spicy Eggplant with Tofu (each $13.95). Hot tea was $4 and Thai Iced Tea $5. Delicious food at very reasonable prices. Attentive service. Located a block away from the Capitol South Metro, so the perfect place to eat before or after visiting the Library of Congress.

The food here was delicious! We got crab ragoons, Panang Curry, Basil Chicken, and Peanut Sauce Chicken. Everything tasted great and despite it being very busy the service was good and we got our food very quick!

Great Thai food and service. We came kind of at the tail end of the shops hours where the kitchen was gonna close in 10 minutes, so felt a tad pressured to rush the food and drink choices (not by them—they were nice and patient—just in general). Our drinks, appetizers, and entrees ended up still being so tasty and piping hot! The chicken wings were so crispy and the sweet and sour sauce they had elevated them! The crab rangoons were super delicious. My SO and I got got chicken and beef Pad Thai dishes, reapectively (my rushed choice, but hey, can’t go wrong) and it was definitely some of the best I’ve had in a minute!
Most importantly, the service was great despite them winding down operations and they went out of their way to accommodate and not rush us, still checking on us to make sure we were enjoying our food and whatnot. I highly recommend this spot!

THE place for inexpensive authentic as-can-be Thai food popular within the GenZ government interns who frequent this long-standing joint that survived the pandemic with good old fashioned delicious food.
We love this place and it’s food and come here enough to know a good thing when we eat it. The drinks come heavy, the apps come fast, and the entrees never disappoint. Come here for the early crowd and Happy Hour specials. We had the spring rolls, fried wontons, yellow and red curries where you can adjust spiciness. Careful not to get ahead of yourself, looks can be deceiving.

I had a very disappointing experience at Talay Thai. The greeter at the front was incredibly rude and unwelcoming from the moment I walked in. It was so off putting that I almost turned around and left immediately. No customer should feel uncomfortable or dismissed just for entering a restaurant.
I only stayed because I was hungry and specifically wanted something healthy to eat. While the food itself was okay, the poor service completely overshadowed the experience. A hostile first interaction sets the tone, and unfortunately, it never recovered.
Customer service matters just as much as the food, and based on this visit, I will not be returning.
