Year after year, Washington City Paper readers name Beau Thai as Best Thai Restaurant. They are undoubtedly picking up on chef and founder Aschara Vigsittaboot’s passion for Thai cuisine and the authentic recipes she learned growing up in Thailand.

She is still the driving force behind this popular lunch and dinner spot, and prepares her own in house curry pastes along with lots of other thoughtful touches throughout the menu. Aside from their superior curries, the Beau Thai Chicken is their signature dish and the best thing to order if you’re undecided. It consists of lightly battered chicken and string beans with a spicy garlic sauce. There are also plenty of gluten free and vegan offerings, like Pad King, Pineapple Fried Rice, and more. Check out Beau Thai’s Bangkok street brunch every weekend from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. for tons of foods often served in the capital of Thailand.
