About

Noodles!  Think of how many cultures and cuisines use them. Now think of how they taste when served with flavorful Thai spices, fresh ingredients, and with a creative cocktail.  That’s why we created DC Noodles, an authentic Thai restaurant that blends a sophisticated menu with a neighborhood attitude and a community spirit.

It’s where you can find those noodles as part of a sizzling stir-fry, a spicy soup and a zesty salad.

It’s where you’ll find regulars sitting beside newcomers, recommending their favorite dishes every night of the week. .

It’s where you’ll find an ambiance as charming and vibrant as our beloved neighborhood, the U Street Corridor

And it’s where you’ll find memories from the owners’ and chefs’ childhoods in the form of old-style recipes passed down from one Thai generation to the next.

Originally designed to offer an Asian fusion menu, DC Noodles was born under the name Simply Home.  The unique U Street space also offered furnishings, clothing and accessories handcrafted in Thailand. Diners could shop while waiting for a table and shoppers could enjoy a snack after making their purchases.

With the redevelopment of 14th and U Streets, we refocused our attention back to our food, expanding the menu and creating a room for private events.

We hope you enjoy both the old and new traditions of DC Noodles, and we look forward to serving you.
