Crystal Thai is good -- nice and quiet.  It's right next to the Outback
Yuckhouse. 

There's also a good on on Glebe, just north of 50.  It's in a dumpy-
looking plaza on the right side of the road, next to an Indian place.
Really good Pad Thai.

Hmm, there *is* a bar (a tiny service bar, not one you belly up to), but
I don't know about umbrellas (bring your own?).  China Delight?  I can't
remember the name either, but the Hunan Chicken is great.  Fridays is ok
for drinks --> get a Friday's Fantasy:  an ice cream drink w/ Oreos in it.
I've never seen it on the menu, but it's great...in fact, you could also
hit Copeland's for frozen Oreo drinks, on the way home, although they're
not as good as Friday's Fantasy's.

Wonderful Vietnamese food, plus another Hard Times (Order the veggie
chili w/ everything, extra cornbread, and onion rings.  Don't expect
an umbrella in your beer!)

Hmm, Brian, I'll keep a lookout for you, since we seem to eat at
many of the same places!
