Well, if you're ever out in the Tysons/Vienna area, there is a great
Thai place on Maple St. in Vienna:  Tara Thai.

It's located in the George Mason bank building on the south side of
Maple between Nutley St. and Park St., across from the NationsBank.
Chain Bridge Rd (rt. 123) at Tysons turns into Maple as you head southwest.

Our office goes to lunch there often, and our favorites are the Pad
Thai (naturally), Panang Curry (ask for extra hot), Wild Lamb (ask for
extra extra hot!), and Beef Kapow.  Other dishes on the menu include
duck, two other kinds of curry, and other normal (and not so normal)
Thai dishes.  All of the dishes are well prepared, and the portions
will satisfy the average appetite (i.e. if you are a big eater, you
may want to get an appetizer in addition).  The staff is very polite
and courteous, too.

The decor is also interesting as well - they have taken great pains to
make the place look like it's on the ocean floor - and it succeeds.
It is worth stopping by just to see the decor.
