You Gotta Thai This Place…
Here's what a restaurant rater has to say about Thai X-ing after visiting earlier this month:
Step in to the charming and quirky ambiance of Thai-Xing and experience it for yourself. Not to be missed!
I haven't visited Thai X-ing yet, though Anne Marson's Young & Hungry column from February makes me curious. If you've had a chance to visit, let us know what you think.
And what are your can't-miss eateries for D.C.?

I tried this place for the first time on Saturday night. I got the 11. YUM WOON SEN (Spicy translucent noodles tossed with shrimp or chicken, black mushrooms, spring onion and cilantro in spicy chili lime sauce) with shrimp and 20. CHICKEN VIGSITTABOOT (Chicken and watercress topped with spicy peanut sauce). I asked for both to be 'very spicy.'
They said 30 minutes and when I arrived about 35 minutes later the food was ready and hot. The smells in Thai Xing and in the car were wonderful, full of cilantro and spice.
The shrimp and noodle appetizer was really close to fantastic; it was spicy enough to get some beads of sweat going on my forehead. I wish it had been bigger (it wasn't small, I just really liked it). The chicken vig-- was very good too. I liked having the watercress in there; the peanut flavor was just a bit too subtle though and could have gone up a small notch. It also wasn't as spicy as I would have liked.
My girlfriend wants to try it so we'll be getting some tonight. Maybe I should say "thai spicy' instead of 'very spicy'
