Appetizer:
- crab rangoon 5/5
exactly how i make my homemade crab rangoon's at home. stuffed perfectly, in my opinion, it had a great imitation crab and cream cheese ratio. it wasn't too hot surprisingly because of how stuffed it was, but the crisp was still there and it was the perfect temperature to enjoy prior to our main entre!
- heaven beef 2/5
i wouldn't get this again. the beef was too chewy, almost the texture of beef jerky. the spice was a little off, but the red sriracha sauce had a bit of tang that made it edible. the sticky rice was pretty good too even though plain. i'm not complaining because i'm a sticky rice fan, hehe.
Main Entre:
-chicken pad thai 5/5
it made up for the heaven beef lol. i really enjoyed this classic thai cuisine, as well as my partner. recently became a bean sprout lover and it put the whole meal together for me, personally. texture, taste, seasoning, perfect. the chicken wasn't too chewy either it was moist and soft. yummy.
Drink:
Christmas Cocktail (forgot the name but it was the first one on the xmas cocktail menu) 4/5
- i really enjoyed it! it was sweet, a lil tangy, and bitter. it tasted like a christmas ornament idk how to explain it, but in the best way possible. i tasted the holiday spirit! literally!

Service: 4/5 total
Wait time: 5/5
- i also work in food hospitality, so i'm not often complaining about the wait. we were given 30-45 minutes, but it felt we waited a total of 15 minutes. pretty quick and efficient!
Service: 4/5
- for a completely crowded and booked restaurant, we were attended as quickly as possible. the server we had was very kind and patient (even though i know she had other tables to tend).
Food and Drink Arrival: 3/5
- i know i said it was crowded (6pm on a friday night), and i don't mean to judge the table next to me but they had a more complicated entre (it looked delicious btw and i hope they had a lovely dinner) .. sat down 10 minutes after us... and their food and cocktails arrived before ours. we had to wait 20 minutes after our order -both drinks and food .... - and my partner and i were pretty hangry. kept it together because luckily the ambiance was very cozy and we were smushed between the couple that arrived after us and a larger party to our right.
overall, definitely try Sense of Thai once in a while! i've looked at local foodie influencers from the area, past yelp reviewers, tiktoks, and it was worth our time! and i really admire how they have a seasonal cocktail menu, it's very innovative! come with friends, family, etc. the environment is super nice too. there's a barnes and nobles for book worms out there, sephora, a local bar, hot pot, etc. almost similar to Mosaic District in Falls Church, VA! i'd love to come back sometime to try other cuisines they offer!
