Little Serow - Calumet-Norvelt

The best Thai food in Washington DC (and I am a big time Thai food aficionado). There has never been better! The only downside about this place is that it is a bit pricey. The overall value for your money isn't quite as spectacular as the taste and quality of the food itself.

A friend recommended this spot to me while we were visiting DC. It's currently doing takeout only, so it was a great stop after a long day of hiking.The set dinner for two comes with: Nam Prik Num Crispy Pork Skin Herbal Pork Sausage Tom Kha Pumpkin Isaan Style Catfish Laap Crispy Rice Salad Chicken Kua Kling Mekhong Whiskey Marinated Pork Ribs Khanom KrokMy favorite thing (hands down) was the crispy rice salad. I love crispy rice. It has a great texture and the sauce was delicious.The pork ribs were my second favorite thing. The meat was so tender that it was falling off the bones.If you're interested in trying some Thai dishes that you won't find at most Thai restaurants in this country, check this spot out.

This used to be a 5 star experience. The food was great, the ambiance was cute, service was nice. They had authentic flavors, didn't hide the spice, and told all the snowflakes that if they had allergies that, well, tough.However, they aren't open for in person dining. Takeout only now. And the food is simply not the same in takeout format. The experience of small plate, slow food, is lost. Environmentally it's a nightmare as well, creating so much unnecessary waste from takeout containers.Get over the covid fear nonsense and reopen.

I had high expectations ordering from Little Serow, and my expectations were met! Tried a couple items— the wings and dry chicken curry, both had complex flavors and were quite unique! I can’t wait for the restaurant to open up for in-person dining to try out some more cool things.

I’m not surprising anyone by giving Little Serow five stars, but the food is just excellent (get the crispy rice salad). Unlike other great restaurants, the food from here makes for great takeout. It has kept us going through the pandemic
