About Us
Duangrat’s Thai Restaurant is the
realization of a dream which
originated in 1980 as a humble
Asian market located just around
the corner.  The market is still there
today and now supplies this
restaurant, which itself has
blossomed into one of the
Washington D.C. area’s most
celebrated ethnic restaurants.  
Since 1987, restaurateurs Ed and
Pookie Duangrat have been raising
new standards and redefining the
quality and presentation of Thai
cuisine.   

Look around and you will see the
hand-crafted details of Thai art
and architecture throughout.  
Duangrat’s was created to be a
showcase of both Thai cuisine and
culture.  Waitresses are adorned in
colorful traditional Thai silk gowns
and gracefully serve the talent and
innovation of the kitchen staff.  In
the front of the house, the fine-
dining setting of crystal chandeliers
and white table cloths is equally as
impressive.   Upstairs, patrons can
experience the pleasures of Thai
dinner and drama in the area’s first
and only Thai cultural dinner
theater, featuring live Thai classical
dance performances on select
weekend evenings.

Duangrat’s confident menu is
extensive and not only boasts
authentic favorites like Pad Thai,
but an ever-changing selection of
Pookie Duangrat’s own signature
creations, many of which have
become “new classics”.
