Dana Craig recently visited Alex’s Thai and spreads the words on this “cozy Shockoe addition”:

I appreciated Alex’s menu designating each dish’s spice level rather than encouraging a free-for-all of mild, medium and hot customization. With authentic Thai food, some dishes are meant to be spicy, and some are not. However, the menu notes they can adjust the spice level if specifically requested. [...] Alex’s is a great addition to the already expanding food choices in the Bottom. It might not be worth a lengthy trip from across town, but I know the neighborhood is happy.
