I would describe this place as offering vivid flavors and full authenticity. You should get the vermicelli with fried mackerel (one of the best dishes around, period), the Kow Soi soup with noodles, and the fried chicken salad, for one of the best meals around, certainly tops in McLean. I tried a few other dishes and liked those too. One note: the prices are not super-cheap. They are entirely reasonable for the location and quality, but not the kind of steal that you might get from other places in this guide. <\/p>\n<h3 class='related_post_title'>Related Posts:<\/h3><ul class='related_post'><li><a href=\"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/mum-aroi\/\" title=\"Mum Aroi\">Mum Aroi<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/thai-treasure\/\" title=\"Thai Treasure\">Thai Treasure<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/thai-food\/\" title=\"Thai Food\">Thai Food<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/one-night-in-bangkok\/\" title=\"One Night in Bangkok\">One Night in Bangkok<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/southeast-impression\/\" title=\"Southeast Impression\">Southeast Impression<\/a><\/li><\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Esaan Cuisine, web site, 1307 Old Chain Bridge Rd, McLean, VA, 703-288-3901 (Metro Trip Planner &#8211; opens in new window) [TripAdvisor | Don Rockwell | Ylp | McLean Connxn] Another phenomenal northern Virginia restaurant, this one is food from Northeastern &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/esaan-cuisine\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[113,47,3],"tags":[1667,1668,1669,340,866],"class_list":["post-3858","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-mclean","category-thai","category-virginia","tag-esaan-cuisine","tag-fried-mackerel","tag-kow-soi-soup","tag-thai-2","tag-thai-food"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3858","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3858"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3858\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3862,"href":"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3858\/revisions\/3862"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3858"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3858"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3858"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
