Siriwan Thai

Good food. Crying tiger and shrimp angel are great choices for starters. I love the Tom ka kai soup. Yum woonsen and red curry chicken are my go-​to main dishes. Delivery can take awhile, pick up orders are never ready when they’re supposed to be, and there is a bit of a language barrier when placing phone orders, so have a little extra patience when ordering — the food will be worth the wait.

The only reason that they don’t get 5 stars is that the décor (interior) needs some work. The Walmart table and chairs and pretty hideous looking.
I didn’t come to look at the furniture though! The Tom Yum chicken soup is awesome! So many other places I have visited and DC cannot get it right. They have it 100% perfect in taste! Did they drag grandma off the plane from Thailand?! Good gracious… very enjoyable. The food is full of flavor. Now I see why this place is open. I’m not sure why anyone would rate this place below 4 stars unless they just don’t like the hole in the wall look (which is not always a bad thing!). They just focus on the food. I have been to places that were beautiful in Hyattsville that were disgusting.
The food here is tasty, good and flavorful. I’m glad I found this place.

Best Thai food in the area. Summer rolls and chicken satay are excellent. Highly recommended.

The food is delightful. Quite flavorful without being overpowering. The décor is barebones bit that’s how I like it. Staff is very friendly.
Great prices for a quality Thai meal.
Lunch special is only $ 7.50, can’t beat it

Food is very good, but the place is not. Prices are average.
Bad news: This isn’t a place you want to go for a romantic night or a date. Walls are scraped up, tables are tattered, and the floor is dirty. We did see one roach crawling underneath a table beside us. So don’t come here for the ambience. They need a good deep cleaning of this place immediately, but they may be holding off because people still come here for the tasty food (see below).
Good news: The food we ordered was very flavorful and spicy enough for the liking of 5 Indian men. We started with the Chicken Lemongrass soup (Tom Yum) and it was YUM. We got it extra spicy and it really hit the spot. I would certainly order this again, especially if I’m feeling sick or have a sore throat. It would really open those nasal passages up.
We ordered a few dishes (Chicken Pad Thai, chicken in green curry, pineapple fried rice (no shrimp) and beef drunken noodles).
The best dish was the Beef Drunken Noodles by far! Get this. I would go here again just for the drunken noodles. Better than Yo Yo Café’s drunken noodles in my opinion.
Surprisingly, the second best dish was the pineapple fried rice. It had a great flavor. The pad Thai was average. Nothing special.
I didn’t like the green curry, but I don’t normally like the green curry. The person that ordered it said it is usually much better, but today it wasn’t as good.
Overall, I would say eat here if you can look past the untidy place. Maybe order take-​out instead of dining in. But you MUST try the drunken noodles. It might take a couple of tries to get it to your spice /​non-​spice level.

So they get 1 star for awesome food. They lose a star for forcing me to sit in this sauna. They lose another star for making me point to my order because she was FOB. But lucky for me I can’t add, so they get 4 stars.

I would give Siriwan a 3.5 overall. We’ve been here twice now and both times dined inside. It’s clear that most of their food is for takeout as there are only a few tables inside. The most redeeming quality to this restaurant is that the food is inexpensive, some of the cheapest you’ll find. The dishes are a bit uneven, some are better than others. You’ll have to try a few things and find the ones that work best for you. If I lived closer, I would order takeout here regularly.

There is no AC. Some guy comes out of the kitchen rolling a big trash container through the diner area and the front door then walks back in! Where is the health department.

They never pick up their phone! You may have to stay the course and hear ringing for a few minutes before anyone will pick up. Pick-​up for 3 entrees took just 15 minutes. The food is on par with typical Thai food. Lunch special runs at $ 7.50 with an «appetizer» which is literally one piece of fried roll or two small dumplings or 3 pieces of tofu.

Great food every single time. Great service. very polite and courteous service. The place could use some heat in winter time, but there is always the take out option. I would eat there every day if i could. Happy Customer !!

My girlfriend and I needed quality food and we needed it cheaply. This restaurant rose to the occasion. We went inside the restaurant and ordered. I must admit, the ambiance was a little off-​putting. It looks like they tried to cover up how run down the place looks by putting decorations on the walls. It just feels… dirty. Also don’t use the bathroom unless you absolutely have to.
While that doesn’t sound like a great start to a four star review, the food was delicious. It was fresh, flavorful, and not too greasy! I had the Pa Ram Jae, she had the Pad Thai, and we split the fried tofu and the mango sticky rice — all for $ 30! Very good food.
I must admit it isn’t the best Thai food I have ever had, but I do live in Portland, OR — that’s about as authentic Thai food will get in the U.S.
Altogether, this restaurant really hit the spot. I just recommend calling ahead and picking up or ordering for delivery instead of sitting down. Everything was very satisfying and we even had a lot of leftovers! We’ll definitely come back again.

Solid Thai food in a carry out setting. People eat in here but I wouldn’t. The food is always good every time we’ve ordered. We’ve ordered pad Thai, drunken noodles, curries, pad kapow, pad pik king, Tom yum soup, papaya, some seafood dish that has a lot of lemongrass (I do not like). And prob a few other dishes. The prices are kinda high imo but maybe that’s just me. You can expect each entrée to cost about 13 $. I really like the Tom yum soup with chicken but I couldn’t justify spending that much money on it. Papaya is always on point. Everything we order is always on point. Consistency. There is this dish that I’ve ordered twice, that, I don’t like but it’s because I don’t like the lemongrass sauce.
I’m subtracting a star because this place needs to be kept cleaner. The whole right side of the place is sloppy and dirty. The cashier /​ordering area is sooooo messy. There are things everywhere. Looks awful. It kinda scares me because if that’s what’s seen by the naked eye, imagine the areas customers can’t and don’t see. It looks like the people don’t keep up with the place at all.
We order from here often because it’s the only Thai place near my house and the food is consistently good. I hope they take care of their kitchen better than the front of the house.

The straw that broke the camel’s back, as they say. We had become regulars after finding this little hidden place over a year ago. Decent prices, good food, good service-what’s not to like. Now we’ve had a small disappointment with their (defrosted) desserts before, but nothing like today. Our usual mixed veggies dish had very old green beans in it, which is already very bad, but their reaction to our bringing it to their attention was worse. They basically said it wasn’t their fault we just didn’t like it and wouldn’t do a refund or anything! There were BROWN spots all over some of them. This is a deal breaker, Siriwan. I’m not serving food that can possibly make my family sick. Hope that $ 12.95 was worth losing more business.

Reliably authentic Thai food cooked to order. Great prices both lunch and dinner. Owner is always there, so you know what you are getting so far as quality etc. I eat here at least 3 – 4 times a month.

Duck dishes here are pretty damn good, the bulk of my stars are dedicated simply to how they prepare their duck. Everything else was ok. Atmosphere/​décor is kinda dead so I def recommend delivery or carry out.

Love the Ka Pow chicken! I get it only «American spicy». I ordered it medium spicy the first time and it was pretty hot. It was still yummy, I just had to wipe my nose after every other bite because it was running from the heat :). The fried wrapped shrimp appetizer (angel something?) is great as well. The pad see ew is pretty good too. I didn’t care for the taofu family very much. The shrimp were greasy and the sauce to tofu ratio was a bit off. While the sauce was tasty, there wasn’t enough, so I ended up eating a lot of plain tofu. Overall I really like the food here and look forward to trying more items from the menu. If I can ever bring myself to not order the Ka Pow. .doubtful ;)

Came here for lunch once and thought their lunch specials were a great deal. I got the 2-​chili pepper *“thai spicy* green curry and it was both sweet and a great depth of spice. I had thai iced tea which helped to take away some of that spiciness. I may ask for less sugar or half n half next time.
It’s a cute little place. I worry about the restaurants in this shopping center because it’s so dead (and doesn’t face the main road).
Wouldn’t hesitate to come back!

Crispy basil duck was delicious. Atmosphere could’ve been better. I was gonna eat in but decided on carry out as I walked in. Drunken noodle was not my favorite thing and was bummed they don’t have yellow curry. Would go back for carry out.

We decided to come here for dinner after seeing an ad in the mail. Surely enough this is the closest Thai restaurant to our home that we would come back to — perhaps for carry out.
On the particular day we went the restaurant was empty and we were the only dining in customers for a while. It wasn’t until towards the end that one more couple came in to dine. Multiple customers came in to carry out though. We dined around 7 – 8 timeframe so it was a bit surprising there weren’t that many people dining. Regardless, service was nice. We weren’t sure who was the actual server since the initial guy that welcomed us and sat us (who also sat at the counter) never followed up with us after he took our order. It was another lady — perhaps the cook or owner? that checked on us, brought out the food and refilled our drinks.
We ordered:
Crispy Basil Duck — crispy and lots of duck meat, yummy
Pad Thai — good typical
Soft Shell Crab — 2 delicious crabs, yummy
A seafood dish (can’t remember the name) — dish has the same vegetables as the crispy basil duck and scant amount of seafood for the price we paid for the dish, tasted good but not worth the price.
Overall, good food that was reasonably priced. Out of the 4 dishes we ordered probably won’t order the 4^th again but would come back again. Will most likely carry out next time.

Daaag, first time I didn’t have to doggy-​bag a curry.
Ordered the Roasted Duck in Curry and wow, was it good. I really love that play on sweet and savory, so this dish hit the spot. Just the right amount of sweet pineapple with the crispy duck with the fresh aroma of Thai basil at the finish.
I highly recommend this dish. Git it.
