Thai is my favorite cuisine to eat in DC. There are a lot of great places to get it, and some not so good ones. These are in order by tastiness, so start at the top. Go spicy or go home!

Thai X-ing is one of Eat Thai Food.

Carlos M.Carlos Montano: There are a lot of good Thai places in DC, but this one is best. Get the chef's daily menu and bring a nice bottle of something (and pay no corkage fee). You won't regret it!

Carlos M.Carlos Montano: When you ask for spicy here, you get it. If you've got a timid palate, ask them to go easy. Or live dangerously and leave happy!

Carlos M.Carlos Montano: They deep fry things that you wouldn't normally expect, like the chicken in Kra Pow, and the service is spotty.
