Tasneeya “Tas” Gordon has always wanted to open a restaurant in Dominion Valley.
“My kids go to school here… we love the community,” she said.
Next week, that dream will become reality as Gordon plans to open the doors on the third Thai Peppers Restaurant in the Dominion Plaza shopping center next to Giant Food. Her other two Thai Peppers eateries are in Alexandria, and her Bristow location that opened in 2011.
The menu features curry fried rice, noodle dishes, spring rolls, and authentic Thai dishes. Thai Peppers will be the only Thai restaurant in Dominion Valley, she said.
People think of spicy, hot food when they think of Thai, so that’s why Gordon chose the name “Thai Peppers.”
“The name is easy to remember, and our food can be hot or mild,” said Gordon.
The new location will feature a darker interior than the Thai Peppers restaurant in Bristow.
“We used a lot of copper, gold, silver and brown while the other restaurant has a lot of red. There is more of an older crowd here while Bristow has more young families, so we didn’t want anything too poppy,” said Gordon.
The new restaurant will also feature a full bar. Gordon is still working through the permitting process with Prince William County, so she cannot yet offer an opening date.
Gordon’s new restaurant sits just doors down from the new Macaron Tart patisserie shop.
When it does open, Thai Peppers in Dominion Valley will be open 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday, noon to 10 Saturday, and noon to 9:30 p.m. Sundays.
