I keep forgetting to share this comment from our Best Thai in Town thread:
“Sadly, Tanad is closing. It’s on the Chevy Chase Listserv. I just went back and looked at the posts, and apparently a hostess has told people that March 5th is the last day. The (perhaps someday) good news is that the owner is apparently hoping to take a year off/restructure, and reopen next year.”
In January 2012 we noted that there was a lot of love for 4912 Thai, the precursor to Tanad, which was closed after it’s retail license was suspended.
Ed. Note: Phone numbers listed for Tanad that I’ve tried calling have been disconnected. Updates when we learn more.
