If you're into 'in', there's always Zagat's.
Food, Decor and Service are each rated on a scale of 0 to 30
0-9...........poor to fair
10-19...........good to very good
20-25...........very good to excellent
26-30...........extraordinary to perfection
The Cost reflects the estimated price of a dinner with one
drink and tip. Lunch usually costs 25 percent less.
[The Cost may not be up to date and may be 25 percent more.]

Looks like 2 out of the 3 Thai they show might be worth a shot.

Edging out its showy cousin Duangrat as the DC Survey's top Thai, this
"understated", "often overlooked" sib focuses on food; here, one can
explore
"regional Thai cooking" in a "quiet setting" where the "sparse decor and
dismissive service don't matter" once the vivid, "spicy" tastes explode
in your
mouth.

Altogether "a delightful dining experience" sums up this "in-town" Thai
whose "discreet decor" and "courteous" manners contrast with its
"incendiary"
dishes; when the few "wonderful tables overlooking P Street" are
occupied or
when there's a "wait on a weeknight", consider the "consistently good"
takeout.
