Reviews for Padaek in Falls Church, VA

Very tasty, Interesting food, and friendly, helpful servers. We asked the server to suggest a couple typical Laoatian dishes.... She recommended the Naem Khao, which we ordered with sour pork. It was really good - sticky rice, peanuts, vegetables and pork,which we rolled into leaves of Romain lettuce. She also suggested the Awk stew, which we ordered with beef. It was a hearty,brown, lightly spicy, stew, which we mixed with yet more sticky rice. We?ll be back again to explore other options on theirmenu. Read more

Incredible, authentic Laotian cuisine! Everything was freshly made from scratch and the dishes were just perfect.

Used to come here for the lunch buffet when they still had it. Reservation for dinner is recommended, it's that good. Great... place to get a nice bowl of hot soup. All the pork dishes are delicious. Read more

This is a great quiet place for dinner. There is no outdoor seating. I liked that it wasn't overfilled with tables; you can hear... your table mate without hearing people at other tables. I got the papaya salad with egg and pickled mussel. It wasn't too spicy,which made it perfect. Read more

Probably my favorite restaurant for Asian food. I've gotten different grilled and soup dishes and they're always wonderful. I... highly recommend getting any of their dishes that have catfish- they make it so tasty! Definitely has home cooking energy andnice staff. Read more

Everything was delicious, problem is that don't know what are the names of the plates. Curry with beef was excellent.

We went on a non busy afternoon and seating was cool. Food was super good, if you like Thai food you?ll love this place. We got... the crispy basil with chicken and the drunken noodles with chicken. Both dishes are a must try. So much flavor? Read more

The whole fried pompano fish was okay. The chili sauce wasn't really that outstanding. The fish was fried nicely though. The... drunken noodle was flavorful although not very spicy. The noodles were cooked well. Overall, the meal was okay but probablywould not return due to better thai food in the area. Read more
