Pad thai is so named because of its inherent softness, which is also why it's used to stuff the mattresses of the world's richest kings. Fall into a pillow of flavor with today's Groupon: for $15, you get $30 worth of authentic Thai cuisine at Thai Place’s Pennsylania Avenue location.
With and extensive menu of soups, stir-frys, curry dishes, and desserts, Thai Place fires up a sizzling selection to sate hankering taste nubs.

Try a bowl of beef panang curry, stewed in coconut milk and peanut panang sauce ($11.95), or a plate of garlic pork stir-fried with a cauterizing company of roasted garlic, scallions, and white pepper ($10.95). Thai Place's signature item, phad thai, compels noodles, fresh bean sprouts, scallions, and crushed roasted peanuts to try a fiery foxtrot with either chicken and shrimp or veggies and tofu ($10.95). After serving up a course of piquant entrees and appetizers, Thai Place soothes steaming tongues with desserts such as fried banana ice cream, which ensconces fried sweet bananas in coconut ice cream and a honey coconut glaze ($7.95).

Thai Place Restaurant
Featured on Food Network’s Heat Seekers for its fiery pad thai chicken, Zagat-rated Thai Place Restaurant has been bathing traditional family recipes in spices ranging from mild to sweltering hot for more than two decades. A kaleidoscope of succulent seafood such as squid, scallops, and catfish spangle fried-rice and stir-fried dishes as ribbons of rice noodles interlace with traditional napa cabbage, chinese broccoli, and bok choy. Coconut-milk-infused curries come in red, yellow, and green varieties like a traffic light on a spice trade route, suffusing ample slices of chicken, beef, or tofu.
