Absolutely the best Thai food I have had since moving to the area 7 years ago. The staff is amazing, everyone from the bartenders down to the servers and the management. Everyone treated me like an absolute Queen from the moment I walked in. The food is full of flavor and very fresh. I will definitely be back!

Have been coming to this location for 30 years since it was Thai Luang. Extremely happy with the new ownership, we still have great Thai in Nova! Renovations are very clean and nice as well inside.

I had a wonderful dinner tonight at 246 Thai Street Restaurant, and everything was absolutely delicious.

Good to know

Where is 246 Thai Street, and is there parking?

We are at 171 Elden Street, Unit 130, Herndon, VA 20170 — inside the office building next to Virginia Tire & Auto. It is an office building rather than a shopping strip, so look for Unit 130 rather than a row of storefronts. There is a free on-site parking lot with plenty of space, plus free street parking, and both the entrance and the lot are wheelchair accessible. We are in downtown Herndon, minutes from Reston Town Center and Dulles Airport, and an easy drive from Sterling, Ashburn and the rest of Fairfax County.

What are your hours?

Lunch is 11:00 am to 3:00 pm every day. Dinner is 5:00 to 10:00 pm Sunday through Thursday, and 5:00 to 11:00 pm on Friday and Saturday.

When do you stop taking orders?

Online ordering closes 15 minutes before the dining room does: 2:45 pm at lunch, 9:45 pm Sunday through Thursday, and 10:45 pm on Friday and Saturday. If you are cutting it close, call us on 703-467-0111.

Do you take reservations?

We seat from a live waitlist rather than taking bookings. Join the waitlist online before you set off, or call 703-467-0111. Walk-ins are welcome as well.

Can I order online for pickup or delivery?

Yes. You can order online for both pickup and delivery.

Do you have vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options?

Twenty dishes on the menu are marked vegetarian. Most can be made fully vegan on request, and gluten-free is available on request. Please mention it when you order, as fish sauce and oyster sauce are standard in a lot of Thai cooking.

How spicy is the food?

You set the level. Around half the menu is spiced, and many dishes are marked spicy on request so you choose how hot it comes.

Do you serve alcohol?

Yes, we have a full bar.

What should I order if it is my first time?

Our most-ordered dishes are Pad Thai, Vegetable Spring Rolls and Pad Kee Mao. For something you will not easily find elsewhere in Herndon, try the Northern Thai plates such as Khao Soi or Kaeng Hung Lay ginger curry, or anything from the Isan side of the menu.

What does a meal cost?

Starters run $7.95 to $13.95 and the Isan salads $10.95 to $15.95. Most mains are $18.95 to $20.95; house specials such as crispy duck are $22.95.
