Doi Moi is no longer, "Doi Moi" . The chef inspired menu, is, chef-less. Portion sizes have been reduced but not equal to the price reduction. A new restaurant group has taken over and is taking what used to be a 14th street place to go into a place that I will not go back to again. Sad to see such great quality food misrepresented while the new owners attempt to figure their play.

I've been a regular at Doi Moi for years-- this most recent visit post-merger was very disappointing. The quality of the food and ingredients were noticeably reduced. The food came out lukewarm and one of the dishes I'd had multiple times on previous visits was very different in flavor. The new menu items seem more like Americanized Thai-- like they're trying harder to appeal to the masses with this new menu. I think ownership made a mistake here, but I wish them luck!

Doi Moi had been on my list of restaurants to try for a while, and I'm glad I got a chance to experience it. However, I'm not sure it was the experience I was hoping to have in terms of food. I know they are only on week 2 or something of their new menu, so they could still be making adjustments. We had some flavoring issues with some of our dishes—some were too flavorful and others weren't flavorful enough. We let the waitress know and the manager came by to solicit our feedback on the recipes and make adjustments. After making the recipe adjustments, they provided us with new plates. So the service was amazing and outstanding. Both our waitress and the manager were extremely attentive. The food may be going through some ups-and-downs at the moment, though.

This was my first visit. I liked everything we ordered. The food is brought to the table family style, so l tried every dish. Excellent food. I do think the drunken noodles should be less sweet. The total with tax was $88 for 3 people including tax. Huge bargain in dc.

The seafood coconut curry was excellent, as were the lime pie and strawberry mousse for dessert. They entrees were brought out as soon as they were done and served family-style, though the portions are about right if you want to eat them individually.

I'd been looking forward to going to Doi Moi, the menu looked great on the website. My first visit was basically pretty horrifying. Sad food, seafood curry with some bottled shrimp and barely any other fish, not curried spicy. Very dry satays. The noise level was beyond crazy. I could hardly wait to finish the meal with 3 friends at get out of there. Such a disappointment.
