DC Thai - Thai at Vermont Ave and K Street, McPherson Square Downtown - Closed

[Kibbee Nayee]

Looking for someplace convenient and inexpensive, we stumbled upon DC Thai not far from the White House. The restaurant is about 3 years old, and is on the 2nd floor of a street front access. Walking into the place, there was a mild odor of day-old seafood and the tables seemed to have a glaze of slightly sticky sediment...

Nonetheless, this was pretty decent fare, and at a price that belies the neighborhood. Happy hour deals are great, with most appetizers at $3 or $5, and all wines and beers at $5. I had the "Capital Hill" which is stir fried beef with fried basil on top. Save for one tough bite, it was very good. Companion had the "FBI Undercover" which was a seafood stir-fry. We both agreed to hit this spot again.

This is not Chada Thai in Las Vegas or Elephant Jumps in Merrifield, but this is sound Thai food at a good price in an atypical location for value.
