No-frills spot for Thai & Laotian dishes that also offers lunch & dinner buffets.
"This restaurant started it all for D.C.’s Lao cuisine ambassador, Seng Luangrath. Previously called Bangkok Golden, the menu here shifted to focus more on Lao dishes, though a Thai menu is still available. Carryout through the restaurant website; a new location of this restaurant recently opened in Arlington." - Missy Frederick
"The Falls Church standby near Seven Corners will now transform into a fast-casual, bistro-style restaurant called Met Khao." - Tierney Plumb
"Her home cooking became so legendary amongst her friends and the employees of her husband's construction company that she began catering. This led to the purchase of a Thai restaurant in Virginia called Bangkok Golden, which has since been renamed Padaek (the name of Laos' deeply funky, unfiltered fish sauce)." - Jacob Dean

"The founder of critically acclaimed restaurants Thip Khao and Padaek, and leader of the Lao food movement, Luangrath’s feed is full of artfully arranged food, images from trips abroad, and glimpses into her ongoing campaign to educate the whole world about Lao cuisine." - Eater Staff
