Aiyara Thai Restaurant

I love the food, it is always so fresh. it is one of our favorite places to eat.

THAI TUESDAY for $ 10.95. It is well worth it. They close on Mondays and I think if you work for the government, they give you a discount.
This is our favorite thai restaurant in Leesburg. I really like their Kapow Red Curry.

Thai Buffet alert! — is there such a thing? Yes, there is. I’ve ranted over the years about the copious amounts of Indian and Chinese buffets around but no Thai buffets. Why? We should be able to three-​plate gorge on Thai cuisine just like anything else that is amazing!
Well, thank you Aiyara Thai for «Thai Buffet Tuesdays» as we call it in my office! Be forewarned,…do not expect a Vegas-​casino-​style spread of choices,…there are roughly 6 entrée choices, soup, two kinds of salad and a dessert or two. But if you are ever in the mood for Pad Thai AND drunken noodles and don’t want to seem like a heathen whilest ordering two entrees, this is the perfect choice for you.
All hyperbole aside, the food is actually really good. Like as in, «I’d eat here even if it wasn’t a buffet» good… because you know there are some places where you only eat because of the price for the buffet.
Their pad thai is very good as are their crab ragoons. I also judge thai places by their peanut sauce and their peanut sauce is thick and spicey.
Only downsides? They give you appetizer plates!!! ha. Ok. Just take four trips instead of 2 – 3. Also, the buffet is only on Tuesday, not every lunch dasy. (hence the name «Thai Buffet Tuesdays»)

This has to be the best Thai Restaurant we’ve eaten in. Just fantastically good food. Service has always been prompt and friendly. Their crispy spring rolls are the best, they’re cashew chicken and basil beef are outstanding. Had the Thai hot Kra Pow (basil beef) and wow — I wasn’t expecting it to be that hot — not around here especially. It was wonderful! Reasonably priced — definitely will be back.

This is our go-​to place for a quick Asian bite, always great service, delicious food & fair prices!

Expensive, small portion sizes, the food is not fresh and the seafood was over cooked
The waitstaff we had, a young male, was very professional.
Plus the beer is amazing! A 32oz beer for $ 9 will fill you up after the gap left over from the meal.

So I got a delivery tonight and everything was going well, until I got to the bottom of my soup. Unfortunately for me, there was a bug hiding all the way at the bottom! yes that’s right! I ate the majority of my soup before finding a bug! :-(. I must have bad luck because this is the SECOND TIME I have ordered Thai from a restaurant (delivered) with a bug in my soup. Now it’s not me, because one was delivered to my work and one was just today delivered to my new home. Both from different places. Now the tasty food is getting thrown out and the almost $ 40 I spent on delivery for the next few days is wasted. Seriously this is a shame because the food tasted good but NO BUGS ARE WORTH IT! It is Sooooooooo disgusting!!! I’m beyond repulsed! :-(hopefully they will get their stuff straightened out but this will NOT BE MY NEW THAI RESTAURANT! Never again!!!

The manager who had the common decency and spine to ask Gnei to remove a crying baby from a moderately upscale restaurant, which the mother should have had the sense never to bring in the first place, is my hero. You may be all put-​out because you have no grasp of basic etiquette, or of the distinction between a restaurant and a Chuck E. Cheese, but the rest of us just trying to eat our dinners in something resembling peace are cheering. This restaurant IS family-​friendly; I’ve seen plenty of tables here that included children – well behaved children who weren’t making life a misery for everybody else in the restaurant because they were too young to get anything out of the experience, themselves. Who brings a baby anywhere more upscale than a McDonald’s and *doesn’t* expect to get a dose of reality from the management? If a baby had been squalling while I was here on a date, as I have been before, I’d have had to bail in the middle of my meal. That’s not fair to me, my date, or the restaurant. But then, I suspect Gnei is too accustomed to people fleeing in all directions from her approach to even register it, anymore. Get a babysitter. Get two – one for your infant, and one for you.
Moving on: food’s good. Not spectacular, but reliably good, and refreshingly spicy. It’s very hard to find a place that will make anything truly spicy, even when «Thai hot» is advertised, so that alone makes this place a gem. The Gang Pha is hot as lava but still flavorful, with lots of fresh veggies and a lively combination of flavors in the curry paste. The coconut-​based curries I’ve had have all been good, too – rich without flattening the spices. Shrimp could be cooked a little more gently. The mixed drinks I’ve had have all been smooth and tasty, though I admit I’m no connoisseur, and the Thai custard was lovely, very creamy.
The outdoor area is very nice in cooler weather, but there’s really not enough shade for it to be tolerable in summer.
Service has always been good in my experience: unobtrusive, but accessible, with drinks never left empty long. Perhaps it helps if you don’t expect the staff to spend its time adoring your infant child.

The staff was friendly, service was prompt and the food was delicious. I had a papaya salad and shrimp pad woon sen. That wasn’t even on the menu but they made it and it was great. I can’t believe I have driven by this place so many times. (perhaps because the other two Thai places in Leesburg were a disappointment). I will be back!

Food was ok, it did not come out as hot as it should have. The waitress forgot to place our appetizer and it never came. The menu said fried rice was an option but they dis not have it and instead of telling me that just brought something else. The place has an odd smell and was totally empty at 7:00 for dinner. Do not think I will be coming back again.

Came here for lunch with a friend who works in leesburg. I have to say this might have been the best drunken noodles I’ve ever had. My food came out boiling hot (a major plus, I hate when my food isn’t hot enough). Also at level 3 spice it was perfect. On the upper end of what I can handle, but if you like spicy food you’re in for a treat.

Great food and staff! The whole staff treated me as I was a regular even though it was my first time there! I will be going back very often. The atmosphere is warm and inviting!

This place is a little gem with thai based interiors that provide a nice, classy touch. We had lunch here ordered Krapow and Red curry. The food was authentic, flavorful and decent portions. The service was warm and prompt. Overall a great experience, thier restrooms need a lot of attention though :)

I’ve had my share of mediocre Thai food. Aiyara hit the spot. The food is really good and captures that hot Thai spice that I’ve been craving! The service was basic, can’t complain. 5 stars nonetheless.

We love Aiyara Thai! Best thai food in Central and Western Loudoun! We love their pad Thai, green curry, Penang Curry, chicken fried rice, coconut soup is delish, spring rolls r yummy– only problem is we always seem to crave it on Mondays! :)

Ordered the green curry with chicken. Description says it has eggplants which is a major ingredient for this dish. Instead I got it with green beans. If you are going to substitute the main vegetable, I would expect a heads up. I am just glad I didn’t get turkey instead of chicken. Also there is a discrepancy between their online price and store. Not a happy camper.

Absolutely love this place.
We have tried many thai restaurants in this area, Aiyara thai has been the best thai restaurant for our tastes. The Green Curry and Red Curry Chicken is delightful and so is Chicken Volcano.
Would definitely recommend this place to all.

My husband and I just had one of the best dinners since moving here from California. Wasabi dumplings for appetizer, chicken madness & Lava fried rice. Although we ordered the dinners separately we mixed them together just to see and the flavor was outstanding. I also tried a Green Elephant Marti and have to say we ended this dinner on a high note for our date night and we will absolutely be back multiple times.

Delicious Thai food, and friendly staff. I’ve been here several times, and the meals are all great. I like to start with the veggie Tom Khar soup, which is rich with veggies and tofu. For dinner, I’ve had the super hot jungle curry, the green curry, and the popular pad thai. All are delicious and plentiful.
I especially like the Catoctini, a martini made with local gin!
I will be back!

I was sure this place used to be some kind of an American grill or something but to my surprise it has been transformed into an awesome Thai restaurant.
My go to menu items: Pad kee maw and Gang Pha. Now, this dish will melt the skin off of your face so not for the faint of heart. A hearty hot pot of vegetables with a very spicy broth. I am very big fan of hot foods and even so, this dish will get my forehead sweating. My buddy who I went with a couple of weeks ago took pics with sweat coming down my face. Howe good is that?
Another amazing dish is Phad Phed Pha, which is another scorcher but with a generous serving of eggplant.
This is a wonderful family run restaurant with very authentic and well presented food in the old business route of Leesburg. Highly recommend if you are in this area, or even if you aren’t take a detour and give it a try.
