I’m sorry to leave a 1 star review. I know this isn’t a sports bar but I’ve gotten bamboozled here twice trying to watch hockey. One was a caps game on local broadcast and the other was on NHL network. I’d think the owner could afford the sports package if they are charging $16 (with included 10% service charge that should simply be included on menu prices) for a small selection of house cocktails. $113 for two cocktails, 2 entrees, and wings. By the way the wings were an odd combination of overcooked and rubbery.

Always a great time at the Thirsty Crow! There are 3 pool tables with house cues and a tournament some Sundays. There is trivia nights and other fun events. You can watch football, UFC, and all other sports. There are board games and lounge areas too. The food is great and they share a kitchen with the Michelin star restaurant upstairs. Catch and drink and dinner during happy hour for a really good deal. Also, Caleb is a great bartender and has the best service! See you at the Crow!

Char Kway Teow
Favorite dish of the four we got! There are no words for how good the flavor is you just gotta eat it and experience the power yourself 8) There's a really nice charred flavor the kind that comes from a good wok frying :D
The Chinese sausage was the cherry on top, mixed in with the noodles and shrimp each bite was phenomenal! Noodles are soft and chewy but not mushy 10/10 good mouthfeel. Had me wishing the plate was bigger so I could eat MOREEE

Nasi Lemak (chicken confit)
Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside just the way it should be! Pulls apart pretty easily too so it's easy to eat. Chicken has a pretty good flavor alone but the Best part of the dish has gotta be the SAMBAL!!! I want to take jars of the sauce home with me 🤤 It has a slight kick to it and is soooooo good I could put it over all the other dishes 😂
You can't tell from the photos but the rice is a super fragrant coconut pandan rice! Smells and tastes so nice. The anchovies on the side are super crunchy and add a really nice texture and flavor to the dish. Especially when u eat them with....THE SAMBAL

Wok Fried Celtuce
Had no idea what celtuce was but am glad we decided to get it! Was super fresh and had a nice cromch to it while simultaneously being kinda soft. Hard to describe but highly recommend! The sauce was delicious as well poured it over my leftover rice heh. It's topped with some crunchy garlic chips which added a nice contrast to the overall dish.

Chicken satay
You can't go wrong with chicken satay! Peanut sauce is thick goodness and the chicken was perfectly cooked and juicyyyy
Pro tip dip the chicken in the sambal ;)

Atmosphere is very chill and the employees are very friendly :) There are a bunch of tvs, pool tables and darts making this a good place to chill with a beer on top of the fantastic food!

If I lived nearby would definitely become a regular but at the very least I will 100% be coming back here to try the rest of the menu! It's worth the hour long metro from VA LOL. They are also about to open a malay restaurant upstairs can't wait to try that out as well! 🥰

I love Makan and Thirsty Crow. It’s such a great quality time every time. It’s my favorite place. My favorite is definitely any of the fried chicken dishes, but I’ve never had a meal I disliked and I’ve had just about everything on both menus. The customer service and knowledge of the cuisine and menu from the servers and bartenders is always helpful and elevates the experience. It is a top tier and luxe dining experience with a very reasonable price point. For a more formal, relaxed, and romantic dining experience, I suggest Makan. For sports or fun experiences with friends, coworkers, or a partner I suggest Thirsty Crow. My favorite bartender is Luis(sp). I can’t wait to go back!

I got a chill bar vibe from here. They also served us food from Makan which is extremely nice since the restaurant booked out far in advance. We ordered family style and shared several dishes. We loved their spicy noodles so much, I ordered a second one. Their desserts are fantastic too. I liked it.
