I came here for the weekly Thai market and I'm so glad I did! I learned about this market from TikTok and immediately bookmarked it. The market is outdoors when it's warmer outside but for the winter, it's inside RiceBerry Market. I wasn't expecting the market to be as busy as it was! Every stall was bustling with people. Each stall was offering different food and I was so excited to try some authentic Thai food. I got the 7 piece chive dumplings and a fresh papaya salad. What I loved about this market was that most of the food is created to order. It's as fresh as it gets! The people who work here too are genuinely some of the kindest people I've ever met. Everyone was so accommodating when I told them I was vegetarian. The chive dumplings were literal perfection! The dumpling wrapper was so soft and chewy, and the chive filling was flavorful. Each bite made me want to take another one. The papaya salad was also amazing. It was made completely fresh right in front of me, and the person making it gave me so much! She even gave me a sample to taste in case I wanted it more spicy. The salad and dumplings filled my friend and I up but we couldn't leave without getting a sweet treat. We got taro pastries and I was so shocked to see that there was legit taro inside! I'm so used to taro flavored things that I realized I had never had the real deal before. The pastry was a bit dry but honestly I didn't mind it. This market is every Sunday from 10am-3:30pm, and if you're in NoVa then it's definitely worth the trip!

Before I forget, I want to post a review for this place. I came yesterday (over the weekend) as was picking up pizza in the adjoining Papa John's. Arrived early apparently, so spend twenty minutes walking around in the evening cold. I stopped by here. It's a nice small place. Part grocery store and part restaurant, offering Thai cuisine. Owner was nice to me and was chatting with me briefly. He offered to buy me a donut as he saw me eyeing it, but I ended up refusing. Nothing personal, I don't wanna be in anyone's debt. It's just ingrained in me. Anyway, I bought a chocolate donut for 3$. Apparently it's from this shop down in Vienna. It came with I think chocolate Rice Krispies or those cereal bits on top. Pretty dope. Shame I didn't get to try out anything else, maybe next time. I realized I can Thai food next time I swing by. Also Croffles that looked good, decently prized. Look forward to next time. I like to support local business in the area.

It is nice to find an authentic Thai grocery store that also serves food in Sterling, VA. It's a hole in the wall. But the amount of Thai groceries is amazing. They have all the instant Thai noodles and snacks I have seen in the DMV. There are also frozen meats and all kinds of condiments and dry noodles. My husband and I ordered the crab meat fried rice and boat noodle soup. I loved the boat noodle soup which the option of beef brisket, tendon, and meatballs were given to us. The crab meat fried rice was just ok for me. The rice was soggy in my opinion. The amount of crab meat was decent. With our two dishes, we somehow scored a free drink. We wanted to Thai ice tea but they accidentally gave us the Thai coffee. Still pretty good.

STERLING, VA / THAI / 06-15-21 / TAKE-OUT DINNER +The pad thai tastes very traditional. Would've been better with wider rice noodles. +The crab fried rice was delicious. +The kids enjoyed the chicken satay. +I watched the chef prepare our food in the wok, and she was very professional with clean execution. Never did she touch her mask or let her ladle touch a questionable surface area on the grill. She had a bandana on, to make sure hair does not fall into the food. She also had a pair of cloth pants you can only get in Thailand, which I recognized because we have similar pairs from our travels. +The pandan sticky rice and mango dessert is a must order. +The store is very clean. -Submitted an online carry out order. Drove 20 minutes. Waited another 25 minutes, as it looked like they started cooking after we arrived inside to pick up the food. -They did not have the green chili peppers in vinegar or red chili peppers in fermented fish sauce, the sauces you find in the spice tray at other Thai food establishments. -The significant other foodie likes westernized pad thai. It wasn't spicy, salty, and sweet enough for her palette. Go figure. -The summer rolls are $8 and one of them popped, spilling all of the vegetables and shrimp/pork. Overall, the food was great! The ordering, operations, and execution could use some improvement, but I'll be back to try the other items on the menu. Best of luck to this Thai joint, and go check them out!

what a cute new Thai grocery market in Sterling! It's not a huge market, but it has your Thai essentials. tons of snacks and instant noodles. instant Thai iced tea. all the Thai sauces you could be looking for. Thai medications. Thai frozen goods. Thai homemade sausages. really, it's just a really cute Thai grocery store. but the hidden gem, is the little restaurant in the corner. you can order your meal & wait for it while you shop. currently they are offering free Thai iced tea with any $25 order placed in store. the pad Thai was ok, but the mango sticky rice was delish. the kanom Chan was yummy! nice chewy, pandas flavor, definitely try this when you go. the owner is so friendly and welcoming. highly recommend stopping by & checking this place out!
