It was Christmas Eve and we were looking for somewhere in Old Town Alexandria to get food. So glad our search led us to Sisters Thai!! I was super impressed and dare I say blown away by just about everything! From the Tom Ka soup right through to the Drunken Noodles - each dish we had was packed with flavours that were bold, authentic, and beautifully balanced. The service was great! Despite it being super busy - our sever was very attentive (especially on a holiday evening), and even came to let us know the kitchen was closing and if we wanted desserts, we had 10-15 mins to place the order/s. The venue itself is really unique/trendy - I would describe it as a fun, unexpected blend of a cozy French bistro aesthetic with a Thai twist--warm, stylish, and welcoming. A total gem in Old Town & I can't wait to go back! read more

After several times here, this is a really good Old Town Thai option. Typically good service. Cool looking menu style (looks like a magazine) with lots of top choices. Today, I tried the Pik Khing with beef. This is one of my go to entrees at any Thai place. Great flavors here to include a nice medium spice flavor. I have tried the Panang Curry with chicken. Very good. Normal spicy is probably too mild for me. Good flavors. I like to get a side of broccoli to add more veggies to the dish. It comes with broccoli already but I like a little more. Oh, and the decor is really nice. Love the designs inside. Very cool. Give them a try! read more

Sisters Thai was not as dazzling as the reviews suggested. I imagine it's because there aren't many options in the area, but it was just ok. The hostess wanted to seat us in the very back, even though there were several tables in other areas. Thankfully, she had no issue agreeing to move us to a better table. The panang curry was very watery, the dishes lacked some authentic flavor, and most shockingly, the rice was overcooked. I also ordered the bartender's choice for a drink and even that was lackluster and watered down. Everything looked much better than it tasted. I could have caught them on a bad day, but I'm not sure I would return. read more

The lunch special was . $20 for an app and a good portioned meal. I was incredibly impressed. I loved the drunken noodles and peanut dressing on the salad. Very cute vibe inside. Service was fast and friendly. Would definitely go back! read more

Sisters Thai - Drunken Noodles - Thai Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

I've had sisters Thai in the Tyson location and I think it was a little bit better or maybe it was just what I ordered. I felt like my pad see ew was a bit overcooked. The noodles weren't very chewy just limp. I also felt like the som tum salad lacked the kind of sourness I really appreciate in papaya salad. I didn't have a bad experience, just felt like the food served that night lacked authenticity according to my personal expectations. Service was great, no complaints there. She was fast, helpful, and knew the menu well. And it's a pretty large restaurant very beautifully decorated. It's great for groups or small parties. read more

We stopped by for a weeknight dinner with some friends we had coming in town, and were able to get seated right away! It was pretty busy but the service was stellar and our food came out quickly too. Tried the thai tea which is always good. Then the summer salad with salmon added, chicken panang curry and the ka prow. We were all extremely happy with the food especially the portion sizes! Will for sure stop by again when Im over here for work again. read more

Went with a full table of 8 people and we feasted! Everything we ordered was delicious from the appetizers, salads, to entrees. Our table ordered 12 different dishes and they were ALL amazing, not a single "meh" item!! Wish we saved room in our bellies for dessert but just couldn't do it. The restaurant is super charming and small enough for a fully attentive staff. This is the second time I've been here - the last time was a year ago and I will go back again!! read more

Absolutely loved the decor of this restaurant! It's like three places in one. It's has a very unique and spacious bar setup, a cozy restaurant feel, and also a specialty coffee/dessert shop feel. Great architecture overall. The food was a 7/10. Good, but nothing to write home about. For starters, the Crab Rangoon was one of the better ones I've had, as it wasn't overloaded with cream cheese. The crispy wontons and mango sticky rice were also tasty. For my entree I ordered the duck curry. It was a tad underwhelming, as it lacked the spice level I was looking for and the duck was pretty soggy and fatty. Not a bad dish, but not what you would want, given the price tag. Service was more than satisfactory. The waiter was knowledgeable, attentive, and prompt. read more

Came here for lunch yesterday. Overall, the food was disappointing. Thai tea: delicious, still. Good blend of strong and sweet but not too sweet or creamy. $5 Drunken Noodles: really not good. I looked at photos to see if I was trippin and it seems like the noodle squishiness/slime varies. In my case, the noodles were QUITE slimy. Like very slimy and squishy and gross. In addition to being gross, they tasted very bland. I was so disappointed. $20-22 Crabmeat fried rice: I don't remember there being celery before. Gross. I've never had celery in my crab fried rice anywhere before. Also, the rice was the blandest it's ever been. Even my kid was like, "maybe it's only really good at dinner." $28 Crispy spring rolls: good and crispy but these are hard to mess up. $12 Service: fine. Definitely slow. We are outside and were the only ones so it felt like we got forgotten at one point. I like to make my own sauce for spring rolls. Spring rolls took like 20 minutes. I waited an additional 13 for soy sauce because our server didn't come around for forever. My kid's water glass was empty for a long time. Honestly... maybe we'll try the Tyson's location next time. This was NOT it this time. read more

Hands down my favorite spot in the DMV -- Sisters Thai never misses. From the plating to the flavors to the whole vibe, everything is perf. It's the perfect mix: restaurant, bakery, and bar all in one. Service is always good. Dropping a throwback video to when I first discovered this place -- still just as good. read more

Came here as it was an easy walk from the hotel with a fellow trainer. The food was pretty good. The service was fair. My colleague asked for more cashews than chicken for her dish and they didn't listen. I had to ask them several times for extra cashews. We were done with the meal that we had to ask for them to go. We got some, but probably like 6 of them. Anyhow beside that we sat outside and it was fall day. I order pad Thai and green curry. I enjoyed the curry, however the pad Thai was very average. Actually the curry was even better the next day, I ate it cold and it was tasty. If I come back to Alexandria again, I will def go. read more

The ambience and service were great, and it's definitely a nice spot to go with family or friends for drinks and a good atmosphere. However, the food didn't feel very close to traditional Thai cuisine. It lacked some of the spice and depth of flavor that you'd typically expect. As someone from a Thai background, I was hoping for a bit more authenticity in the dishes. read more

Going to Sisters Thai is like being in your Thai auntie's house with her eclectic book collections and shabby chic decor and a garland of roses around the entrance. There is both a bar and a cafe as well as numerous banquettes, including one next to the piano. Normally, this is a hopping place with 30-45 minute waits de riguer but on a weekday for lunch, my son and I just walked right in and was seated immediately. The lunch specials are quick, fresh, and filling. A tad more heat would have lent more authenticity, but our bad for not asking for Thai spicy hot. Definitely a go to place for the many food options at Mosaic. read more

Sisters Thai is one of those places that everyone wants to be at. The deco is amazing! I asked my big spoon to bring me and he did. Beautiful day to eat outside! Love that this chain is growing! I'd get into it BUT everything is always good! Pick anything on the menu and you will not be disappointed! Service can be off sometimes and language barriers are sometimes an issue but other than that, great service, great food and great ambiance! read more

Cute spot for Thai food, drinks & desserts! I dined at Sister's Thai ALX with my husband last night (07.12.25). We were seated at a small table in the middle of the Magnolia section of the restaurant. While it didn't feel completely cramped, more elbow space and room to move around would be desirable. Seating seemed more well suited for a coffee shop than traditional dining. The overall decor vibe at Sister's Thai is eclectic -- it's a large mix of luxury looking furniture & finishings alongside thrift store esque decor finds. All of our food was flavorful & the drinks were well curated! We ordered the Donald roll as an appetizer. The sauce on roll made the dish a stand out! I also enjoyed the contrast of the rolls' crispy exterior and chewy interior. For entrees we ordered Veggie Tofu Green Curry & Crispy Duck Curry -- both came with rice and can be adjusted to suit preferences for spice level. The veggies were cooked well. They were tender without being mushy & each still had a nice bite. The crispy duck lived up to its name & was delicious! I previously visited the Sisters Thai location in the Mosaic District and enjoyed it. I'll add ALX to my list of places to return to! read more

The CUTEST! The best, authentic experience. They make the Thai iced tea different than I've ever had it by using shaven bubble ice..and the glass choice..perfect presentation! Their curry puffs are on point. I ordered my typical traditional gra prow but added shrimp for the first time - spicier than I've had I feel but tasty nonetheless. The Thai salad had an interesting dressing combination sweet peanut dressing maybe...it was good just maybe sweeter than I'd like for a large salad. The waitress had such a thick accent and was so sweet. Beautiful area where it's situated, free street parking all day, and shout out to the interior designer - STUNNING WORK! Fave Thai place here...check. Go, enjoy!!!! read more

Great spot! Grabbed dinner here and had the steamed dumplings, Donald Roll, and pad see ew. No complaints on those at all.

Our server was so warm and was on top of our needs. read more

I ordered the drunken noodles with chicken and shrimp and was impressed. The flavor was balanced with a gentle heat from freshly sliced jalapeños--spicy enough to notice but not overpowering. Nothing was too salty or sweet, and each ingredient stood out without competing. The noodles were incredibly tender, and the chicken and shrimp were fresh and perfectly cooked. The atmosphere felt calm and inviting, with couples enjoying the patio. My server was friendly and helpful, and the thoughtful details--from the marquee bar to the magazine-style menu--show creativity and pride. I'll definitely be back. read more

Sisters Thai - Drunken Noodles - Thai Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

Bold Thai flavors exemplified in classic and innovative dishes, executed perfectly in good portions for sharing. Sisters Thai is a bright spot in a saturated food scene where vibe is king and although food quality is all elevated, it's much harder to stand out. With small bites in appetizers and "street eats" and full on meals in their specialties, stir fried dishes, and curries, you and your party will have plenty to choose from to get an exquisite Thai taste. That is all within the beautiful ambiance of the restaurant. Illuminated by the glow from the old school theater marquee and sharing space with the flowery sweet shop, Magnolia Bakery, you'll be immersed in a street-like feel while dining in the comfort of a well ventilated/insulated dining room. You'll be sure to get some fine pictures! The dining space is quite spacious and comfortably seated despite its usual crowds. Small or medium sized parties will easily get a spot while larger parties may want to venture in earlier to secure a space for their group. Parking can also be problematic during peak times as it's all street parking in this part of town. As visitors, we decided to get a variety of dishes to share and it was a great move as the food portion was plenty for us all to get a good taste. Curry puff - probably a must get if you're already here. The flaky, buttery crust has a nice texture with each bite while adding balance to the strong curry flavors bursting from its center. The accompanying cucumber relish added a nice tang and freshness. Crispy duck curry - the lightly battered, succulent duck in this dish is a highlight but the curry carries itself as you pair it with the bowl of white rice. The fruit and vegetable loaded curry rounds out the dish with a balanced diet and aroma of freshness. Pottery shrimp - loaded with protein and vegetables topped on a bed of potato starch glass noodles. Refreshing bounce to each bite! Bamee poo moo-dang - protein rich meal with vibrant colors ready to entice your palate. Moist and succulent pork slices topped with morsels of crabmeat gives this dish a hearty mouthfeel as you devour like the omnivore that you are. Partnered with Magnolia Bakery, dessert is literally just around the corner and the menu is loaded! Drinks, shaved ice, toast, waffles, crepes, croffles, cakes, and crème puffs - they almost have it all! We were too full to venture into desserts but as heard from some locals, they are definitely something to try! The staff here are great and attentive - waters were always topped off and as a newcomer, menu items were explained and recommendations were shared. Big smiles from the wait staff led to big smiles at the table! Overall, Sisters Thai is an exceptional Thai eatery that will fill you up in style. Your belly will be satisfied and if your eyes are bigger, well use them to take in the awe of the hanging lights and enjoy what the city has to offer after a full course meal! read more

I had high hopes for this place. Its interior is aesthetically pleasing, but the food is not all that. Based on popularity and the waiter's recommendation, I got the Crispy Duck Red Curry. I was hesitant because it's Duck, but I thought I'd try something different and treat myself since Duck is pricey yet worth it taste and texture wise. However, the Duck was incredibly chewy to the point it wasn't enjoyable. A good bit of it felt hard to swallow. The Veggies and red curry itself were good. But, not the best red curry I've had. I do prefer my local Thai spot, but I'm glad I crossed this off the list. Considering I was told and convinced the duck was fresh, I don't understand why the texture and everything was so off. read more

Sisters Thai - Near the bar - Thai Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

Me and my friends had this on our to try list and so we decided to check this spot out on a Sunday night. We had a reservation and we were seated fairly quickly. It's an aesthetically pleasing location there's a bookshelf behind tables near the entrances which gives it a coffee shop casual feel, a side area off to the left where the dessert shop space is, and a movie theater sign right above the bar that immediately catches your attention. The menu features a lot of the standard Thai food items with prices ranging from about $12-$32 per item. I will say I haven't been to many Thai spots with such an array of desserts, treats, smoothies and shakes to complement their regular apps and entrees. We order a bit of everything which included donald rolls, bikini shrimp, yellow curry chicken, sisters green salad, crabmeat fried rice (which seemed like most of the restaurant was ordering), and the Thai iced tea. The service was excellent our server was very attentive throughout the evening. The appetizers came out pretty quickly as well as the entrees. As for the food: Donald rolls: The rolls were solid, the duck was tasty but overall a very dry dish I probably could have used more of the house special sauce Bikini shrimp: Decent, simple and effective essentially a mini spring roll but I loved the sweet and sour sauce provided. Yellow curry chicken: Flavorful but extremely spicy even for individuals who have a higher tolerance for that. Sisters green salad: overall good no complaints probably the most basic of their salad options. Crabmeat fried rice: This one saddened me because I thought it would be the highlight of the experience but I found it to be very bland and I spent most of my time picking out small shell fragments as I ate it. Thai Iced Tea: Absolutely perfect just the right amount of sweetness to it. Overall not a horrible dining experience but I did leave feeling a bit underwhelmed and maybe came in with too high of an expectation given the reviews I had been given prior to, but certainly worth giving a shot. read more

Sisters Thai - Crabmeat Fried Rice - Thai Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

Food is delicious. Park in Wegmans parking deck- it's free for 2 hours and barely a block from Sisters Thai. Sisters Thai is known for their delicious food and beautiful, eclectic decorum. This location is no different, and arguably the most beautiful location! The interior is dripping with wisteria- the attention to detail is unreal. Came here for lunch with cap one friends around noon midweek. It was during their lunch rush. Service was friendly but really slow. Food took 45 minutes to come out after ordering, which surprised me- most people looked like they were on their lunch break. I would assume they anticipate a huge lunch rush because they're at the center of cap one campus. My friend said the last two times she was here during lunch she was in and out, so maybe this was a one off. They have a lunch special for $21 that includes one appetizer and a main entree. You cannot switch out the protein ex: chicken green curry is a lunch special but my friend couldn't swap chicken for tofu. I tried the pad Thai, drunken noodles- all delicious. I ordered the tofu ka prow and loved it. read more

This is a very cute spot. It's well lit and nicely decorated. They optimized the space and there's an internal entrance within the restaurant to their bakery. There's plenty of street parking as well as a nearby garage. Our server was very friendly and accommodating. The menu had many options. I started with a lychee flavored cocktail. The presentation was nice but it was also really good. For my appetizer, I got the garden roll which was very fresh and healthy. I got the khao soi as my entree. It was ok but I wish it had more flavor and/or spices. Although it was a nice portion, it tasted plain. When I got home, I added chili oil to it and that helped a lot. It was missing something but wasn't bad! I even got dessert, deciding to go with their popular strawberry banana crispy crepe. It is topped with a swirl of chocolate Nutella and it was my first time trying Nutella. The Nutella was a bit rich and overly sweet but as a whole, the crispy crepe was nice! Again - oozing with freshness. My sisters ordered bikini shrimp rolls and dumplings which were really good. The crab ragoon was also sooo good. Unfortunately, they were not thrilled with the wings due to lack of flavor. I would recommend this spot and go again. Everything tasted freshly made and I really appreciate that. read more

Sisters Thai was such a good experience. We decided to have lunch here Sunday afternoon and was pleased with our service and our selected dishes. Our waiter was friendly, honest, and attentive, which we greatly appreciated. The venue was cute and brightly lit with a ton of natural light. Our food came out fairly quickly. I had my usual Thai iced tea, which is a must for me at every Thai restaurant that I visit. I also had the massaman curry with chicken, which was very tasty and filling. My only critique on this dish would be that I truly wished that there was a hint of spice in this dish, especially since I ordered a medium level for spice. My friend had the Ka Prow with tofu and steamed rice, which I of course sampled lol. This dish was packed with flavor and very enjoyable, however, it also lacked spice. Overall, we had a great experience and I will definitely be adding Sisters Thai as a place to revisit. As to parking, street parking is abundant. read more

For very decent Thai food in a pleasant setting with excellent service I recommend Sisters Thai in Old Town. We've been here several times and our experiences are consistently good. I've ordered the Khao Soi off the Street Food Menu three times now, and I very much like it.. Khao Soi, a Northern Thai dish, is a mild curry-flavored soup with chicken pieces and topped with crispy egg noodles. With your order, Sisters Thai gives you a little plate with diced mustard greens, shallot and pickled cabbage. You mix these accoutrements into your soup to create an amazing texture and flavor. And wow, Sisters Thai is sure generous with the chicken portion in the Khao Soi. I've been a big fan of Khao Soi since having it the first time at the late great Pok Pok in Portland, OR. JP ordered the Crying Tiger, also on the Street Food menu. I might bet some money that the name of the dish ties into the spiciness of this dish. Crying Tiger is sliced grilled steak accompanied by a vegetable mix of baby corn, bell pepper, snow pea, carrot and broccoli. The sauce that comes in a little cup with the dish is delicious. The only item we were not thrilled with was the Thai Iced Coffee. It was just too sweet for our taste. read more
