Food was good, different flavor than I'm used to though. Seemed very understaffed, understandable given COVID, but even when they got slow, service was really slow.

Wonderful meal & service! We ate on the patio w/ heaters both times. We had vegetable pad Thai ("no tofu, lots of veggies") and my husband had drunken noodles w/shrimp. Also a pleasant white wine & we split an excellent, rich chocolate torte.

Party of 4 all adults, everyone enjoyed their entrée, But we all made sure we had a room for the sticky toffee putting for dessert. We were not disappointed.

Nice curry dishes. Tried all the duck dishes over many visits, all very good. Great spring rolls and soups.
In general very mild spice and heat. Ask for medium hot or more if you like it more traditional.

We came for a Friday luncheon. Oddly enough they have another Thai right across the street. The service was lackluster, very inattentive, needed several refills that never got attended to, just wasn’t the kind of service we were expecting or lack thereof. We would have gotten dessert but our server wasn’t around to much so never got to ask.
The food was ok but was heavily sauced up which lacked flavor. We’ll try again at a later date maybe things will have improved 4/10*

I waited for 10-15 minutes before someone seated us to our table. We arrived at noon (well after they opened for the day), and there were already two tables seated before we came. Yet no one came to greet us even though the door chimed loudly our arrival - we had to call out and wave to the cooks at the back for someone to finally come out. I found the service lacking from the start.

I had the pad char which advertised itself to be an eggplant dish but had less than one tiny eggplant (4/6 of a baby eggplant the size of large gumball). When we complained, the server did not seem to understand our

3 - Plenty free safe, super close nearby Parking
4 - Indoor outdoor.

Also, forgot something at the restaurant they retrieved and held it for me till I was to return the next day to retrieve it and I was happy to order take out from them this time as well

We had a pretty disappointing experience at the Thaiverse.
-food was meh. Take out level quality that you can get pretty much anywhere in NOVA. Not inedible, but nothing to write home about either.
- appetizer took 30 min to arrive; almost one hour for main course. Don't come here on a Saturday night if you are starving
- service was not great. Yes, the restaurant was busy, but that's not an excuse to wait 30 min for drinks to arrive. I had to get up and approach the server 3 times (!!!) to ask for drinks and check.
- the server kept calling me "honey," not in a condescending

A great find in Middleburg - never expected to enjoy some great Thai food in this quiet town. We dropped in without reservations on a Wed night, and Ms. Jay seated us quickly on the outside patio on a lovely evening. The Pinot Noir and Cab options were modest, but well chosen and presented. We started with a delicious plate of pork dumplings - really excellent! My wife had the Massaman Curry and I chose the Drunken Chicken, with a side of stir fry veggies. These were nicely prepared and presented, subtle and flavorful and thoroughly enjoyable. We finished our meal with the sticky toffee and

SO so so good.

I was referred here by someone who lives in the area. We made a reservation and got to be seated immediately and outside. The food is so flavorful and delicious. The owner came around to talk to the regulars who are also the locals. I would definitely come back next time in the area.

We had dinner on the patio. Setting is lovely. Menu is full of the usual Thai dishes but with a few interesting additions. The food was very good, although the Thai basil chicken was a little salty, but overall great flavor. I would probably give the food 4 stars. Unfortunately the service was a ZERO. Really bad. It was Friday night and the restaurant was nearly full but there appeared to be plenty of people working. It took forever to be acknowledged and order. At least 30-40 min later before we saw any food. We had to ask for water over and over. And no one seemed to care too much. Would not

This place is delicious! We have been there several times and I can't believe it took us this long to discover it. The service is very good and the food is amazing. It is clear that this restaurant has earned its health rating! We love the summer rolls and during our most recent visit, we had the deep-fried brie bites, pork steamed dumplings, teriyaki salmon, Massaman curry, pad see eaw with crispy tofu, and the mandarin shrimp. Every single dish was outstanding - Fresh ingredients and very flavorful! We didn't have any leftovers, and people started eating so quickly that I couldn&apos

After having a meal catered from this place, decided to go check it out. My wife and I went for lunch and were completely blown away by the hospitality, food and the drinks. One of the best Thai food I have ever eaten and the drinks were delicious. We also had the opportunity to talk to the Chef and owner Ms Pia. She was very pleasant and welcoming. Go visit and you will not regret it !! I give this place 6 out of 5 stars :)

We went to Thaiverse for a Saturday lunch. It was a really amazing experience. The food was delicious and we enjoyed the drinks. Our hostess Calissa (who was outstanding) also went out of her way to customize our drinks according to our dietary preferences.
We ordered chicken satay and summer spring rolls for appetizers- both were equally great.
We also recommend their massaman curry and drunken noodles. We had asked for the brown rice and were pleasantly surprised by it's texture and flavor. The sticky toffee dessert with coconut ice cream was exquisite.
We want to really thank Calissa for

So glad we stumbled upon this hidden gem! Some friends and I were on a day trip to Middleburg yesterday. Stopped in for lunch. We sat outside and although it was a warm day, it wasn't unbearable. I ordered my go to thai favorite, drunken noodle with chicken - extra spicy. They even brought me some extra pepper on the side. It was great! The service was excellent and I recommend this place. My only "issue" was the portion size - a bit small for the price!

After stopping by at nearby Boxwood Winery for a drink we were hungry and put in an online order:

Pork Steamed Dumplings - super tasty just a little too oily

Octopus Dumplings - super tasty, but brought a little too much heat

Massaman Curry with beef - the curry was perfect with lots of flavor, some spice, and creaminess. The beef was still tender.

Green Curry with chicken - same as the massaman curry

Malaysian Style Pancake - could have been crispier and had too much residual oil left on it.

Food was ready on time and service was good. Prices were a little high compared with respect to

Lovely outdoor patio setting with umbrella covered tables. Its chef sourced all of her recipes from her time cooking in Thailand, and her Scottish husband told marvelous stories of their international adventures.

The Panang Curry with Tofu, U.S. hot spicing was marvelous. The Sticky Toffee Pudding with coconut ice cream, the only food offering from Scotland, was a triumph making the trip from Maryland a treasured experience. Balvenie 17 closed the meal with a fitting Scottish flourish.

Always an amazing visit. I recently started a vegan diet and there were plenty of meu items available for me.

last night I had the drunked noodles with tofu, vegetable rolls, and something like 4 of the most amazing cucumber lychee martinis.

I live in Middleburg and visit Thaiverse often. I also get delivery and carry out. always perfect.

I really like this place. The waiter was covering many tables (both inside and outside) and took a while to get us things, but otherwise, everything was delicious.

We ate outside and there were firepits that they turned on and moved closer if you asked. They also had heaters, but for some reason, they didn't work.

You access the menu through an app, but I imagine that they would give you a paper one if you asked. We liked the no-contact version, so it was fine.

I had Tom Yum soup and Panag curry with shrimp. Both were excellent. I will definitely go back when I'm in town.

Delicious food, ample off street parking, and comfortable open air seating.

We enjoyed sharing a meal on their deck. The crisp fall day was mitigated by the gas fire pits they had distributed among the socially distance tables. Among the five of us we had an assortment of appetizers, soups, main course, and (adult) beverages. Everything was properly spiced and tasty. My daughter even ordered a second helping of chicken satay. And thanks to her filling up on that and Tom Yum soup I was able to discover that her uneaten fries pair nicely with red curry.

Next time we're back in Middleburg

Deliciousness - 3.5/5
Happiness - 5/5

This was our first time eating indoors during coronavirus and they made us feel safe and sound. Masks by the server, big gaps between tables (impressive given that it's a small interior) and online menus. I really enjoyed it.

The food was good. I'm not a fan of Thai food, so fortunately they have a lot of other Asian options. I was able to enjoy a teriyaki chicken bowl that was absolutely top notch. The food is elevated with high end ingredients and beautiful plating. My wife (the Thai fan) got duck curry. She really enjoyed it as it's something

It was an awesome that place at a beautiful little town. The food was fresh, clean and tasty Thai! We got the chili lime cod, summer rolls and som tum (green papaya salad). They were all great. The spicy level goes from 1 to 5. 4 was perfect for us chili lovers. They have outdoor seating and space was plenty around 2pm on Sunday.

The owner is not Thai. I was very put off by the idea. Yes, I judged! I gazed around the restuarant unsure if the contents would be up to par with a "traditional" Thai restuarant.

However, I was pleasantly surprised. In my opinion the food was really good. I especially loved the plating. We ordered a multitude of dishes. I however nestled in to my favorite which is Pad Kraw Pao (Thai Basil Chicken). The dish had the same complexity as I'm used to with an additional veggie of green beans, a friend ordered hers with pork and the other ordered the Garlic Beef. The rice comes on the

Wow I was surprised that there was good asian food in Middleburg. This Thai food was moderately priced and quite delicious! We got the spring rolls, drunken noodles, ginger chicken, and some other chicken dish. All of it was delicious, but I honestly think a lot of Thai stir fries start to taste the same as you eat. So the two chicken dishes were good but I couldn't taste a difference. Spring roll was perfectly crunchy and not overly greasy. Btw all of this was on the lunch menu.
FYI there is a lunch menu with cheaper prices on weekends!! The star of the meal was def the mango sticky rice

We went for lunch and would love to go back for dinner. I hear you should have a reservation for dinner time.
The service is great. It’s a small restaurant and the food is good. Their Tom Yum soup is the best I’ve ever had.
The drunken noodles were good. The curry had a great flavor and was made with sweet potatoes.
Highly recommend the dumplings as well. Served with a great sauce.
