Judging Restaurants – Paragon Thai
20 October 2009 12:00 PM | By Prince Of Petworth in Neighborhoods - Cleveland Park, Restaurants, Restaurants - Clevland Park
When a reader inquired about Thai X-ing last week folks were mentioning other good Thai places that they liked. I noticed Paragon Thai was located at 3507 Connecticut Ave, NW in the strip with the new Weygandt Wines. I know this spot used to be a restaurant previously but I forget the name. Anyone know if Paragon Thai is a new spot? Is it any good?

This place used to be Sala Thai.
It was good then, and it’s still good now, at least for the few favorite dishes we order.

I first ate there in Dec. or Jan. so it’s at least a year old, give or take. Been there twice now and both times were excellent.

The Thai place on the other side of Connecticut next to the firehouse is better.

I got take-out a couple times from the old place and it was, as they say around here, “turrible.” Hopefully the new place is an improvement.
Jandara down by the Woodley Metro was always a lot better for take-out.

I went to dinner there a few months back and was impressed.

Very good. Way better than Thai Tannic II, to my dismay.

Agree with others – good takeout.

everyone likes Thai, and some people like to pretend that they’re connoisseurs of it. Its probably harder to get a reliable review of a Thai restaurant than any other food.

The two times I’ve eaten there, I found it pretty average to sub-standard. Siam House, across the street and next to the firehouse, is much better IMO. Definitely better Tom Kha and Pad Thai, and the service is better too.

I ate there the first weekend it opened and thought the food was absolutely disgusting. I ended up having to throw out my Pad Thai and ended up sharing my boyfriend’s dish which wasn’t great, but at least edible. I’m not a picky eater either so this was very bad food.
