Update having now visited in person: The food is just as good as it was before, better maybe for not having first. The new renovations look great and the place really jumps out with a beautiful patio and an open and nicely painted interior. Service is speedy with staff checking in frequently at every table rather than assigned to individual tables. Both people who assisted us were super friendly and seemed to care that we had a good experience. The food was amazing, and everyone cleaned their plate. My parents had thai iced tea for the first time and adored it. Definitely in running for my favorite restaurant in Fairfax City right now.

Surprising atmosphere in the middle of Fairfax with a gorgeous patio where you can relax and enjoy the delicious Thai dishes. The coconut soup was loaded with fresh vegetables which were cooked just right. The spring rolls were crisp and yummy. The sea lover dish had juicy shrimp and scallops (which were a little over cooked). And the lamb and veggie dish was quite good. The lamb was tasty and the veggies were perfectly cooked, with the eggplant being our favorite. Meanwhile, the presentation of these dishes were delightful. Overall, we were happy to find this gem in the middle of Fairfax.

This is probably my favorite Thai food. I will just say I never have been a person who enjoyed Thai food. But Courtside Thai Cuisine has changed it for me. I am now a big fan. The folks are very friendly and inviting. There were a lot of regulars when we arrived and the owners knew folks by name which was a good sign. The restaurant is open Tuesdays thru Sundays and closed on Mondays. We started with the Curry Puff appetizer, Deef fried stuffed with chicken and potatoes. Well seasoned with sweet cucumber-onion relish. The curry was more on the sweeter side than spicy. Very delicious. I had a cup of Tom Yum seafood soup. Wow, this is the best I have ever had. We also had the Thai Papaya Salad, First time I have tried this, and found it quite pleasant and tasty. We also enjoyed the spring rolls. For the main meal, we had the Siam Sarm Chan (Prepared Pork Belly sauteed with sweet onions and sweet peppers with cashew nuts. Quite tasty. The star of the dish was the fried whole flounder with veggies and garlic sauce. The flounder was huge and delicious. It was the last one they had, Over 2 pounds. They did mention that a new shipment of fresh seafood would be coming in including Red Snapper and softshell crabs. I washed everything down with Thai Ice tea and Thai Iced coffee as well as water. Did not have room for dessert but I will be back for more. This review is actually 4.5 stars

This is one of the best Thai restaurant I've experienced. The food is presented colorfully and tastes fantastic, boasting authentic flavors such as mango and chilly. The owner is incredibly friendly.

The dishes were bursting out authentic Thai herbs! Absolutely scrumptious meals. I highly recommend the drunken rice noodles with shrimps, the pad Thai chicken/shrimp dish, or the eggplant with garlic sauce if you are a veggie lover. For appetizers, do not hesitate to order the famous chicken satay which was so flavorful, tender, and juicy. The waiters were polite and accommodating. Bravo and wish you continued success!

The best Thai food I’ve ever had! Especially loved their Thai tea, which was super refreshing! Will definitely come back soon.

A very charming thai restaurant hiding in plain site with excellent flavors. You will need to use public parking but it is on the street level so handicap access is not a problem.

The mango sticky rice was sooo yummy!! The shrimp curry is phenomenal, will definitely be coming back.
