Rabieng proudly serves Fat Tire Amber Ale!

"Named in honor of our co-founder's bike trip through Europe, Fat Tire Amber Ale marks a turning point in the young electrical engineer's home brewing. Belgian beers use a far broader palette of ingredients (fruits, spices, esoteric yeast strains) than German or English styles. Together with co-founder, Kim Jordan, they traveled around sampling their homebrews to the public. Fat Tire won fans with its sense of balance: toasty, biscuit-like malt flavors coasting in equilibrium with hoppy freshness". -New Belgium Brewery

Musings on Restaurant Week & prix-fixe Thai menus...

In case you're wondering why Rabieng (and Duangrat's) does not participate in Restaurant Week, it's simple- we believe in offering the customer our full menu and the freedom of choice.  After all, it's your money and your belly, why leave it up to someone else's discretion?  

More importantly, our a la carte prices are already an outstanding value!  In fact, we are perennially awarded Very Best Bargain restaurant by The Washingtonian Magazine.  With our guest check average of $12-$15 (lunch) and $20-$25 (dinner), you can easily build your own 2-3+ course meal  for well less than  Restaurant Week promo prices (usually $20 lunch, $35 dinner- per person).  

No doubt Restaurant Week offers excellent dining value for trying out that "expense account" restaurant you've been saving for a special occasion.  The bottom line is, no need to wait for a "sale" or occasion.  Drop by Rabieng anytime for a homestyle Thai meal that will leave you and your wallet smiling!

"Songkran" (Thai New Year's week ) is here April 11-17!

In Thailand, the Thai New Year is marked by the week-long water festival known as "Songkran".  The splashing or dousing of anyone and everyone with water stems from the ancient Thai belief that the purity of water washes away evil & misfortune, replacing it with good luck, prosperity and happiness.  Needless to say, this is a much anticipated ritual during Thailand's hottest month!
