Little Serow, East Dupont Circle

Posted on February 10, 2018 by Don

I’ve been meaning to write this for quite awhile now, as Little Serow remains one of my very favorite restaurants in the area – remarkably, it has remained just as consistent and value-driven as it was when it first opened, … Continue reading →

Urban Thai, Crystal City

Posted on August 7, 2015 by Don

In Crystal City… My waitress from a different restaurant was Issan and told me Urban Thai has Issan menu (like Little Serow’s style). She says it’s excellent. Funny, she hasn’t heard of Little Serow and when looking at Yelp pictures … Continue reading →

Sweet Rice, Falls Church

Posted on March 9, 2014 by Don

Kudos to Sweet Rice for delivering last week right after we got pounded with 6-8 inches of snow. They not only delivered, they delivered ahead of schedule, and the food was hot and *good*. Wild Pork ($10.95) and Gang Gai ($10.95) were both as good … Continue reading →
