On a weekend evening they will have four or so dishes, during the day two or so. These are their very best dishes and they are superb. I love their <a href=\"http:\/\/learnthaiwithmod.com\/2012\/08\/kanom-jeen\/\">Ka Nom Jeen<\/a>, a Burmese-influenced noodles with curry composition. The tuna appetizer looks a bit like sawdust (really) but is first-rate and original. The <a href=\"http:\/\/allrecipes.asia\/recipe\/9718\/hang-lay-curry-northern-thai-yellow-curry-.aspx\">Hung Lay Curry<\/a> is a knockout, with Laotian and Burmese influences. <a href=\"http:\/\/boardingarea.com\/viewfromthewing\/2013\/06\/04\/elephant-jumps-thai-in-northern-virginia-getting-even-better-with-new-dishes\/\">Gary Leff has a good review of those dishes here<\/a>.
