Rien Tong Thai Asian Restaurant & Sushi Bar - Arlington

I have ordered DoorDash from here a lot and decided to come in for dine in. Sadly, my experience was not the best. Let me rate each individual thing: - Customer service was horrendous. The waitress was rude, seemed like she didn’t want to work at all. There were people talking some tables over who were loud. They were not even eating. It made the atmosphere very unpleasant. - Spring rolls were good - Double spicy tuna was not fresh and tasted weird. Horrible. - Chicken panang was good. I should have known better… the restaurant was completely empty besides the random people who were talking. I used to like this place but I guess I’ll have to find another Thai place.

Order at your own risk! I have never seen such a nasty food! Sushi/Nigri was old and I can't say this enough, it was very thinly sliced meat. That wasn't even sushi fish. It was old, dark and just gross. The pad Thai was out of this world awful, I have no words for it. The spring rolls were stale and tested like old overcooked oil. I threw everything I bought in the trash. What a disrespect for their customers and just unbelievable they are a legitimate business.

The food is unpredictable. I usually get pad thai and it's sometimes delicious, sometimes flavorless, and once was bitter. It's very frustrating because every time I order I hope the bad times were just a fluke because the good times are amazing. I'll give them one more chance before finding another thai place for lunch.
