He's usually the type to only order one thing from a restaurant- for American, Hispanic, Chinese, etc. This was the first restaurant that made him want to try something new. He's pretty judgemental, so most places are just okay to him. This one was amazing. Hands down the best Thai restaurant he'sever eaten at. Every time we're in the area, this is our go-to spot. (I didn't get a picture of the duck dish he ordered- I'lltry to do that next time. And for my word- it's a lovely little restaurant. The decor is unique and adorable, it's got amaximalist-chic vibe with large bookshelves filled with a lot of items that make it feel homey and a little upscale all at once. If you order a drink, it comes in these very hipster glass jars, which are reminiscent of Mason jars- but convenient to pickup. (I'll try to get a picture of them later too- I'm very into the jars. The seats on both sides are cushioned, so there'sno fighting over who gets the booth and who gets the hard seat- both are lovely to sit at with equally amazing views. The menuis round and has high quality food photos on each page. I'm also quite picky with what I eat, and this is the first time I'vebeen to a restaurant where I liked their dipping sauce. Overall, this is my favorite Thai place- not just in the Fairfax area,and definitely worth checking out if you're around.
