One of the region’s best Thai restaurants is expanding its reach across Loudoun County. Sense of Thai officially opened its second location in South Riding this week.

The restaurant is 5,500 square feet and includes three separate dining areas, along with patio seating. With the food and drink menu created by Thai executive chef Porntipa Pattanamekar and Jeremy Ross, diners can find the same elevated cuisine and cocktails that they have come to love at Sense of Thai, one of our 50 Best Restaurants.

This is Sense of Thai’s second location. The first is at Ashburn’s One Loudoun and opened in 2015. The new restaurant sits in the space that was previously Ford’s Fish Shack, which closed its doors in July 2023. 25031 Riding Plz., Ste. 150, Chantilly
