We had lunch here today and the restaurant looked really nice. We were the first one's here but the…read moreplace started to fill up quick. The staff, especially Cece and Hi were very friendly. They walked us to our table and was so accommodating. On an extremely hot day like today (103F) it was refreshing to walk into a nice cool and nicely lit and decorated place. It was very relaxing. The parking was off the street and is free for 2 hours. There were plenty of spots available just at the front of the restaurant. We ordered the Whole Fried Flounder and the Massaman Curry with shrimp and for dessert the Magnolia Creme Crepe. I am partial to good Crepe dessert... and this place offered different selection. A plus! The food was freshly prepared and was very tasty. I would recommend trying this place out. You will not be disappointed.

4 stars for the food 4 stars for the ambiance…read more3 stars for the service on the water refills, which was sporadic at best. Last night I brought a couple of friends over to the Sisters Thai in Alexandria ... because I had had good experiences in the past. We were seated at our table of four, and had to wait 20 mins to be served water from the start. That was unusual - and although the restaurant was busy it was not packed, so the delay was odd. We ordered the food which was great - high recommendations for the branzino, the crispy eggplant, the roti curry and the mango & sticky rice. The water service was challenging; at one point during the meal when a server came to do a refill, she spilled the water on the table near the food dishes - apologized - but didn't clean up! (It was not a few drops - it was a sizeable amount that warranted wiping up since our group had to reach over for the food dishes in the center). She took off after right after spilling it - and didn't come back! So I eventually caught the eye of another sever and asked for the water to be wiped down. The evening went on - the meal really noteworthy ... but water was clearly becoming more and more of an issue - and this was critical especially considering that the roti curry was spicy! After yet another 20 minutes of trying to catch the eye of anyone with a pitcher I had to get up and request water from the bar area. So although the evening was pleasant it was somewhat disruptive with this lack of coordination - which is really is a basic of any establishment. I would go back again for the food - although I'm disappointed that I brought friends along to try the restaurant and the service was not as expected. As I write this I want to add that if it was a one-off with a water delay I would understand - but it was consistently overlooked, without a spillage being wiped promptly that started to create a less than satisfactory experience. Thank you in advance to the Sisters Thai for more training for their staff on enhancing the customer experience.

Deliciousness - 3/5 Happiness - 5/5…read more A classy restaurant right in the heart of Shirlington. The menu is interesting, having a lot of Thai classics (papaya salad, drunken noodles and curries) with some more inventive and playful selections (like a General Tso's-flavored dish, a fajita-like sizzling steak dish, Thai-inspired wings). While nothing was bad, the food was uneven. The crying tiger steak (great name!) was flavorful and beautifully cooked. The drunken noodles had plenty of flavor, but was a bit light on the chicken and I wish the noodles had been a but more al dente. The basil chicken, however, had an off-putting, tangy flavoring. I also liked that they gave us four types of hot sauce/peppers to help give a new zing to each bite. The spicy mango margarita was also quite delicious. The staff was excellent. The waitress was friendly and kept up some good banter. They offered my daughter a free drink (she declined). They checked in on us regularly and made sure we were happy and full.

Parking was a challenge due to the major construction project they are doing in the neighborhood but we were able to find a spot and walk over from a few block away. We were seated right away and placed our order with the friendly server. They got my order wrong and had to remake it (ordered shrimp and got chicken). My friend enjoyed her curry chicken over rice and Thai iced tea. I also really liked the salad I ordered - only wish was there were double the skewers of shrimp, even if they need to raise the price. The food was good and they didnt rush us out despite being close to their closing time. I look forward to returning with my friend in the future!

Great Food....& Ambiance to match!…read more I am slightly obsessed with visiting Thai restaurants around the DMV and this one does not disappoint. Set in Alexandria, off the 495 corridor, is Pasara Thai restaurant featuring a casual dining experience and vibe with interesting tables with wood carvings and artwork throughout. The lighting is nice and you can find intimate settings for a date night or tables large enough for friends and family. The food menu is crazy big, extensive and seems to have something for everyone. The food is usually quite spicy, so if it isn't your thing, as for mild flavoring! Everything I have ordered from the pad Thai, curry Thai dishes and roasted duck have been delicious....full of flavor and of great portions for the price point. This time around, I placed an order to go for dinner later, and the staff was so nice. I ordered Roasted Duck Basil & Fried Crab-Shrimp Balls. The duck dish was one of the best I have ever had. It had the right amount of spice, heat and flavor. Not to mention, loaded with stir-fry vegetable and a sauce that was finger-licking good.....simply, delicious!! My favorite dishes thus far, is the Pad Thai....very popular here and the Spicy Seafood Pad See Ew. If you're looking for spot for quick, fast casual take out or a nice night out....try Pasara then the theater across the street! You will not be disappointed. I recommend.

Took an extended walk a few weeks ago to check this place out before getting groceries, as it's…read moresupposedly some of the best Thai in South Arlington and had to verify that. Was seated by a delightful young lady, and found the decor and layout to be quite pleasing; modest by elegant. As for the fare, it was indeed quite worth the walk. Ordered a bowl of Tom Yum and the Pad Thai Mun Goong. The Tom Yum was solid and quite flavorful, a flux of tangy lemongrass with the oniony sweetness of steeped scallions, and enoki mushrooms to provide some heartiness. The Pad Thai Mun Goong was a chef specialty pad Thai made with stir fried rice noodle, prawns shrimp tomalley oil (a crucial element for this version), egg and bean sprouts, naturally topped with green onions, peanuts and a lime for squeezing, and this also was quite phenomenal. Savory, sweet, a little tingle of sourness from the citrus in the mid-palate, and the juicy, briny shrimp balancing the dense carbs and rich flavorful sauce. All-in-all, I was well pleased this visit. As this is Padaek's second location, I hope they don't expand too much further/quickly and compromise on quality.

I decided to bring a "smorgasbord" experience to my sister's family, because she missed eating Thai…read moreand her kids had never had it. And it made things easier while out of town family came together. Did I drive 90 min with way too much food in the car to reach her house out in the middle of nowhere? Yes. Do I regret it? No. Ordered 16 dishes (appetizers, soups, salads, entrees, and deserts) and we did a full "family style" layout at her house. Wonderful experience for the adults who already loved Thai, and my little neblings who were getting their first experience. Top winners with adults were green curry and drunken noodle. (Excellent spice level, without my messing with it). Top winners with the kids? Chicken Satay, fried tofu, and picking the shrimp out of any dishes that had them. Had to really work to convince them to "just try" the mango and sticky rice later, but it turns out they really liked that too. And any mango the kids didn't eat, the adults were glad to. Too much ordered in general, but the Tom Khai Ga and a little pineapple fried rice made an excellent breakfast for me the next day.
