Bethesda has 2 really exceptional corner stores - both are metro accessible so while not in DC they’re still pretty easy to get to. First is Hinata carryout - they have floor to ceiling imported Japanese goods and a sushi counter in the back. Solid place to get some frozen dumplings and a little treat. Other spot worth stopping for is Ege Market. It’s a Turkish and Mediterranean corner store with some of the best halva I’ve ever had, plus fresh pastries and Turkish coffee behind the counter.

OP: Baan Siam is definitely the answer, but they don’t serve Pad Thai or Drunken Noodles. Go and be amazed. If you really like those specific dishes, Thai Square on Columbia Pike in Arlington is good - and also has a good deal of menu items that are harder-to-find (e.g. quite a few Thai noodle soups).
