The Thai Curry restaurant is located at 307 N. Glebe Road, Arlington, VA 22203. The restaurant is in a little shopping center next to several other restaurants selling shish-kabobs, Mexican food and Chinese food, so it has a lot of competition.
I went to Thai Curry because I had a Groupon coupon that offered a substantial discount and I wanted to try something new.
