20 Second Restaurant Review: Thai Regent
1910 18th St. NW
202-588-5288
The first thought that popped into my head walking into this place was "Get a goddamn date, you loser!" This is a good instinct, since it's one of the best places to bring a date in the Dupont/Adams Morgan area (no, Tom Tom is not acceptable). The decor is cool and modern, but is interspersed with enough vaguely Thai wood carvings to soften the edges. It's somewhat dark, but not cave-like.
The food: It's generally like the Thai you'll find nearby at places like Thai Tanic, Thaiphoon and Thai Chef, but presented more artfully and with sharper, more defined taste -- no grease here. Try the Panang chicken or the green curry.

If you like Thai and haven't tried Kanlaya on G and 6th, it is really tasty. I actually was a huge Thaitanic fan until this place opened and actually delivers.
Eating in or getting the delivery; either way a great place to eat. And pretty affordable, too.

By "actually delivers," do you mean "has good food" or "brings it to you"?
