If I had to choose my last meal it would be what I ordered last night from Paragon Thai. I didn't even go there, I got Postmates delivery (and usually Postmates fills me with complete rage) and it was still one of the most perfect meals I've ever eaten. The spicy Pad Thai with pork was the perfect pork to noodle ratio, and the spice level was accurately described by the word "spicy." The pad see eaw was unmatched, the broccoli was plump and deep green. The coconut shrimp and fried tofu were fried to perfection; absolutely the best coconut shrimp I've tasted. The fried banana was decadent and key lime pie was lip-smackingly tart; just the way I like it.
I haven't been this satisfied by a delivery order ever in my life. I don't usually do reviews but last night's meal will stay in my heart forever and the world has to know. Thank you Paragon Thai
Excellent meal. Everything was hot with quick service. I will be back when I'm in town.

Consistently delicious food and the service is always friendly. Panang chicken and Brussels sprout salad are the BEST!!
What a lucky find! Service was friendly, efficient and attentive, but the food! My Pad Thai was amazingly matched to my taste buds, so much so that I thought out loud: "This is perfect." Can't wait to go back!
Casual restaurant with delicious food. The Pad Thai was very flavorful and comes in varying degrees of spice. The dumplings were also good, but expensive. $9.50 for 4 dumplings is a lot in my opinion. Service was good.
FYI - I am typing up this review while eating the food from Paragon that I ordered for dinner tonight. First, hats off to @UberEats delivery driver Maria who delivered the food on time. Second, I needed to type this review right atm because I didn't want to forget. I ordered the marinated pork with sticky rice, massaman curry and a Thai iced tea. The massaman was what I expected and hoped it would be. In many other places I've ate from, the Massaman tasted very different. But I didn't want to write this review because of the Massaman... if you haven't tried it yet, you need to stuff Paragon's marinated meat into your mouth followed by a ball of sticky rice. The perfect blend of salty and sweet that glazes over the fatty pork is seriously mind blowing.
Paragon Thai is a cozy little Thai restaurant nestled in a bustling strip mall near Cleveland park, Washington DC. The food was great and staffs were very nice and attentive to details. Crispy fried food was just right, for example, we ordered curry puffs and crab rangoons. You can see from the plates that , the pieces were golden brown and have no excess oil which depicted good quality deep fried food. I can vouch for the crispiness and the taste 😬 .. the spicy salad was great as well .. I have tried other stir fries and mango sticky rice which were also awesome. if you are in the area or thinking of a quick and tasty takeout, give them a try. Highly recommended!!!
I absolutely love this restaurant. Most recently I placed a pick up order and it was perfect. I ordered chicken satay skewers with peanut sauce and Curry potato puffs with their cucumber/veggies vinegar sauce. All of the employees are extremely kind and hardworking. The food is delicious. I'm looking forward to dining in soon.
Service was pleasant, the atmosphere was calm, although the lunch combo only comes with two small gyoza I have no complaints. That was the *best* fried rice I have *ever* had. The lemonade was also perfectly tart and refreshing!
Great Authentic Thai food, even my dad who is very picky, I'll be honest I am too, was able to enjoy the chicken pineapple dish. Everyone there also seems to be from Thailand, not that that matters so much, but it is truly a paragon Thai restaurant.
cucumber sauce and peanut sauce are absolutely delicious, the portions of food were perfect and everything was just so good, very impressed, good prices as well
I am spoiled for choice with the Thai restaurants surrounding me, including Paragon Thai. I basically always order a curry and/or noodle dish and it's always delicious here! Very attentive staff too
Got the fried rice with shrimp and fried crab dumplings omg so yummy - not soggy and you could tell the dumplings were hand pressed . Great quarantine food
We stopped here to eat after a visit to the zoo. It is in the shopping center right next to the exit for the Cleveland Park Metro station. Very quick and delicious food. I had the shrimp ka pow (they can adjust the sauce to be mild or medium spice level). And I also tried the chicken pad see ew. Both were tasty.
5 stars for the food, 3 stars for the service. The food here is amazing, I almost always get the spicy fried rice which is fantastic, and I recently tried the panang curry which was also very good. The service however is not great. It seems as though they only have one waitress so she may just be overworked but she's not usually been very pleasant, and while the food comes out very quickly, it's hard to get her attention if you ever want to order anything else, she also has never or rarely refilled our cups of water after she first pours it. But if you're ordering takeout, I'd definitely recommend this place!
