Bangkok Golden Thai Restaurant<\/strong>, web site<\/a>, 6395 Seven Corners Center, Falls Church, VA<\/a>, right next to Hong Kong Palace<\/a> (this is NOT in Eden Center), 703-533-9480 (Metro Trip Planner<\/a> – opens in new window) [Google<\/a> | WaPo<\/a> | Yelp<\/a>]<\/p>\n

(July 16, 2012: This is an update of my previous review.<\/a>)<\/p>\n

(Online maps do not always accurately show the location. The actual address is 6395 Seven Corners Center, in the Seven Corners Shopping Center, but using 6222 Leesburg Pike does show the approximate \"Bangkok<\/a>location. This place is on the southeast end of the Seven Corners Shopping Center, between Leesburg Pike and Rt. 50, about 2\/3rds of a mile due south of Eden Center, facing Sears, that includes Michaels and Shoppers Food Warehouse on the Leesburg Pike side, and Fortune and Home Depot on the Rt. 50 side. The Google<\/a> link does show a good map.)<\/p>\n

It\u2019s called Thai, and they do have Thai food (including a mediocre buffet), but there is also a separate Laotian menu \u2013 which you have to ask for — and it is a stunner<\/strong>. This is by far the best Laotian food I\u2019ve had. Everything is excellent but I think the Nam Khao<\/a> is one of the best dishes in this whole area, get two of them. You can even get the dishes which don\u2019t sound too interesting. Use the dipping sauces a lot. The chicken on a skewer is good, as are the small dishes to start and the soups (Kanthi) and the tilapia. There is also now a new Laotian menu, kind of a secret menu behind the secret menu, no English. Insist they show it to you. Tell them to bring you the best things from that menu. The bottom line is that this place just got a whole lot better and it was great to begin with. Sticky rice too, of course.<\/p>\n
