About navathaiwheaton
Nava Thai in Wheaton, located at 11301 Fern St, is a popular restaurant that serves authentic and spicy riffs on classic recipes. It has been featured in various publications over the years and has a following of local fans that have become regulars.
Suchart and Ladavan Srigatesook opened Nava Thai in a cramped space tucked behind the Hung Phat Asian market in 2007. The hole-in-the-wall garnered rave reviews from Washington Post restaurant critic Tom Sietsema, and soon word spread about the noodle soups and hot-and-sour scored squid that are served here. Now the restaurant, which doesn’t have a website, shows up on more than just Cheap Eats surveys and in the Washingtonian’s “100 Very Best” lists for four of the last five years.
Suchart and Ladavan https://www.navathaiwheaton.com Srigatesook opened Nava Thai in a confined space tucked behind the Hung Phat Asian market in 2007. The opening in-the-wall gathered rave audits from Washington Post eatery pundit Tom Sietsema, and before long word spread about the noodle soups and hot-and-sharp scored squid that are served here. Presently the café, which doesn't have a site, appears on something beyond Modest Eats reviews and in the Washingtonian's "100 Absolute Best" records for four of the most recent five years.
Certainly, the Nava area isn't gaudy — it seems more like a supermarket than an eatery. In any case, a commendable objective for anybody needs to attempt true food intended for the Thai sense of taste, not the American one.
Nava Thai is not for the casual eatery crowd: There are no fruity cocktails and no sushi bar, and the restaurant is practically hidden in the back of the grocery store. But Suchart and Ladavan don’t present their restaurant as an experiment to refashion Thai food for the American palate; they are simply offering their interpretation of what they remember from their home country.
