Yet Another Thai Restaurant?

No indeed, finally a good Thai restaurant just around the corner from me.

Sakulthai Restaurant
408 south vandorn st.
alexandria, va 22304

For those who know the neighborhood, this is the spot where Thai Hut used to be. The menu had this enticing item:

10. Crispy Duckroll *** Must Try ***
Crispy duck, scallions wrapped with roti skin served with chef's special sauce.

So I had to try it, right? Incredible. On top of that I had the standard Tom Ka Gai and the Ka Prow Beef (28. Chicken Galanga (Tom Kah Kai) and 37. Fiery Basil respectively) and both were rather good. The Ka Prow was sufficiently spicey, and the Tom Ka was the best I've had in a long time.

In a city with as much Thai as DC has, Sakulthai does good enough with the standards, and offers enough specialties of their own, and in a much more pleasant atmosphere than Thai Hut ever seemed to have.

Mr. Kerns,
Sawatdee krob!
I am the co-owner of Sakulthai restaurant and out of curiousity, I decided to "Google" my restaurant. I was not looking for anything specific; I was simply curious. In doing so, I was delighted to come across your wonderful comments. On behalf of the restaurant, we thank you very much for your exceptional feedback.

Again, Khob khun mak mak krob! (Thank you very much!)

Here's the sad thing. We've just moved to Rockville, MD and so far I'm not very impressed with the Thai we've found, and we really miss Sakulthai. If you live close to the west end of Alexandria, consider yourself lucky, Sakulthai is a gem.
