Reviews for Courtside Thai Cuisine in Fairfax, VA
Very good...loved the papaya salad, pad Thai, kao pad, lamb curry, and Tom Ka Gai. All fresh and delicious. Everyone was also... super friendly. Great service. Highly recommend!! Read more
Pad Thai was sour and not the right balance of sweet, sour and saltiness that it was supposed to have. We also had the mai tai... drink which was decent. We also had Pad Ka Prow with beef. Flavors were good but it doesn't seem cooked okay. It had theappearance of boiled beef instead of sauteed in hot heat. We also had the coconut shrimp which was delicious with just the rightamount of sweetness and coconut flavor. It was just crispy and delicious. We had the Pad Se Ew which was a thick white noodle inbrown sauce. It was good. But not quite 100%. Their staff are super nice and aim to please. For that, I give them thumbs up forthe great customer service. I have eaten here before mainly for their service and decent food. They have great potential. Lotsof customers eating in their romantic court yard in Fairfax city with cute lights hung above. Nice ambiance and customer servicestill brings me back to try more new plates I have never tried before. Read more

I visited on a Friday evening to finally experience this seemingly well reviewed Thai food after passing by several times... before. The interior showcases ample seating in a welcoming and clean open space with brightly colored walls. The exteriorallows for a number of tables for those wishing to eat outside. Service reflects that which one would hope from a family-ownedestablishment. I was greeted by more than one person, including both what I presume to be husband and wife. The former orientedme to the menu assuring me of the fresh and authentic nature of the food, and the latter checked on me as I was eating and evengave me a remote control to watch TV as I ate at the bar. My food order seemed to be paced appropriately if not a little slow atthe beginning for which the student serving me apologized with the busyness of the kitchen on a Friday. I settled on atomato-based broth soup and sliced beef appetizer to start, the catfish entree for a main, and a pair of favorite desserts ?mango and sticky rice and fried banana with ice cream. The thermal heat with both my soup and catfish was reassuring. The souphad a light and refreshing flavor with properly cooked and portioned vegetables and chicken. The sliced beef appetizer tastedbright and fresh, however a sprinkling of some kind of nut prevented me from finishing the dish. I did not see any reference tonuts in the menu nor does the picture online seem to show nuts, so I thought my allergies were safe with this dish. Fortunatelyno health problems occurred, but I would have to remember to ask the staff in the future to be sure. The catfish was crispy, hot(both thermal and spicy), and moist inside. The curry was nicely mild, and the vegetable garnish was cooked well so somecrispness remained. The desserts were both quite satisfying, especially the fresh and ripe mango and the fried banana. The icecream was portioned generously with just the right amount of honey drizzle that avoided soaking the crisp banana Read more
