Doi Moi serves dishes like khao soi gai (chicken and noodle curry ) and other regional dishes from Thailand and Vietnam. The decor is primarily white, with accents brought back from Asia.

Ben Bisbee

Beautiful, fresh, crisp atmosphere - borderline airy. While the food was rich, complex, grounded - borderline perfect. 14th just got a little brighter and a heck of a lot bolder. Run, don't walk.

Delicious Street Thai and Vietnamese street food . Try the melt in your mouth Sable fish , Nua Kem ˧ Thai Wok Tossed Marinated Beef , whole crispy fish , and blue crab noodles .

Ruth Madrigal

Awesome restaurant with a beautiful open kitchen . Food was amazing - portions were big and yet they won't leave you feeling all bloated. Try the chicken curry , it melts in your mouth!

Bab Mendoza

Their green mango salad is a must try. If you’re one of the people who are rational enough to not be scared of whole fish , try their crispy snapper with that sticky rice !!

The Blood Orange mimosa at Doi Moi was absolutely beautiful, and tasted just as great. This is the mimosa that brunch dreams are made of. Read more

If you didn't make a reservation on a Saturday night just head to counter seating- great service & it's awesome to watch the kitchen staff prep the meal you'll soon be dreaming about for days

Chris Molitor

Go to 2 birds 1 stone for a drink while waiting. Adam Bernbach (proof, estadio ) drink menu is incredible. Get the beef appetizer , it's huge and tasty!

Serious Eats

Southeast Asian flavors with potent heat, playful soft serve , and peanut-infused bourbon cocktails . Be sure not miss adjoining cocktail bar 2 birds 1 stone downstairs.

Jake Andrew

Great zucchini blossoms n herb aioli . Bigger dish is garlic scapes w poached egg . Great wine list for such a cafe .

Washington Post

Part Thai, part Vietnamese, Doi Moi is pleasure. Mark Kuller (Proof, Estadio ) and chef Haidar Karoum returned from Southeast Asia to create flavors that some foodists compare to Little Serow.

Ardvaark

Order the Spicy Fried Cashews as soon as you sit down. They'll give you something delicious to munch while you're perusing the menu.

Marta D.

Delicious! Loved the very spicy duck salad & chicken curry . Noodles made in-house and you can tell! Very reasonable wine prices. Can't wait to go back.

Winter

Halibut was good but extremely spicy . The lemongrass beef is a decent main portion size and solid, traditional and I would order again. Pork collar skewer was excellent

Shane Tews

Great cuisine, noise level is high, they need to add Ikea rugs to the Ikea like design

Bridget Gael

Absolutely love this place— great Thai spicy food . East Asian gin & tonic , pork buns , short rib curry , and noodles were big hits

Washington Post

The Gaeng par hed, or wild mushroom curry , is a vegan dish with tender chunks of lemongrass and fresh green peppercorns . Read more

Bea

Be aware- the wild halibut is delicious only if you are into spicy food !!! It's 8 out of 10! The Lemongrass beef is out of this world delicious!

Katherine Kennedy Allen

Absolutely get the spicy cashews while you pick out the rest of your meal. My two favs: the sable fish and crab fried rice . Perfection!

Trevor M

Mushroom dumplings , papaya salad , chicken curry , and veg noodles were really good!

Poli T

This was the best meal I had in DC this year. Amazing flavours! A must-go for spicy food lovers.

Steven Vega

Lemongrass beef it's amazing, it's the perfect balance between tasty meat and refreshing nouc cham with vermicelli noodles

Lucia Theresa

The wok fried cashews are yummy and the happy hour is pretty great.

Lucille Fisher

Authentic Thai cuisine. The Kao Soi ( chicken curry w/ noodles bring vivid memories of Chiangmai.

Chamene

Great food & knowledgeable staff . Temperature is a bit chilly - wear removable layers. Make reservations !

Nicole Nigh

The lemongrass beef noodle dish is fantastic! As for the wine list - stick to the Pinot from oregon. The Italian reds by the glass aren't great.

James H

Steamed Chive & Mushroom Dumplings

Bilal

They have excellent take out through the Caviar app.

Love everything (lemongrass beef & peanut cocktails ) but the service

Roniel Tessler

The Thai beef jerky is delish. The snapper is perfectly fried. Everything here was very good.

Sablefish with dill and tumeric -the best dish I have ever had in my life!

Shafique Kassam

While you wait for your table, head to the bar downstairs through the nondescript entrance

Pat Russo

Can't go wrong with the Brussels sprouts , Thai jerky , and of course the Bronzino .

Stephanie

New Southeast Asian/Thai/Vietnamese restaurant from the group behind Proof and Estadio .

The Tofu Curry is delicious! Also the Siracha beef appetizer , big portion though.

Order 3 appetisers each if you're in a group and share, tapas-style. Really great food!

Try the passion fruit sherry drink and the beef vermicelli noodles . Really great service too.

Ava York

the korat stir fried noodle is delicious!

Kee Mao is one of the best Thai dishes I've had in DC

David Coe

Halibut and duck curry were the best dishes we had, but everything was great.

Dara Fisher

Very excellent Vietnamese food ! Also small, pretty shareable plates.

Ardvaark

The specialty drinks are small, and the wine pours are light. Stick to beer or rail.

Lynn Pina

The papaya salad and crispy chicken wings are divine!

Shohini Gupta

Great cocktails and off beat selection of Asian tastes

Huma

Crab rice is amazing. The halibut curry could use more curry though.

Allison Kasic
