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

Stopped by Sisters Thai for lunch, and it was definitely bustling. The ambiance was vibrant and lively, with a playlist that really set the vibe. The service was friendly and attentive, and the food came out hot and made to order. The lunch menu had some great options. I ordered the drunken noodles, which were flavorful and came with two spring rolls--a nice bonus! My friend didn't enjoy her dish as much at first, saying it lacked flavor, but after asking for additional sauces, it was much better. She ended up loving the spring rolls so much after trying mine that she ordered her own. The sweet and sour sauce paired perfectly with them and was a great way to wrap up our meal. Overall, a solid lunch spot with a fun vibe and good food made fresh. read more

I'm going to begin with ambiance! WOW! They take eclectic to the next level and it is obviously on purpose. From the Gatsby like bar and water glasses, wood beams on the ceiling, well balanced lights that move from modern to classic and the staff's dress, this place puts you in another world The servers and staff are great. From the initial greeting the servers in your section, and the managers that drop by to confirm all is well. Surely a place that has put this much energy into ambiance and service can't have any room left for quality food? Wrong. The food is out of this world good. I can't recommend enough read more

Don't come here if you have a big group and need to split the bill the women that took are order was very rude when we asked to spilt the bill, she rolled her eyes many times and was visibly upset with are request. the food was good besides the rock hard plastic wrapped sticky rice and the brown old cabbage in the Wong Tong soup. read more

The ambiance is nice. Nice open dinning room. However to not have Panang curry as a Thai restaurant is unacceptable Additionally the service was below average. Our waiter stood at the bar for over 10 minutes just on his phone. He wasn't the only one but i could understand the bar tender being on his phone unleash he had drink orders to fill The rice was really bad. Over cooked and mushy. Not the results we were looking for on our anniversary weekend. read more

To put a bow on our DC trip, we stopped by Sisters Thai for dinner. From the outside, you think you're walking into a small restaurant, but Sisters is very spacious with multiple dining sections. What immediately catches your eye is the theater-type marquee above the bar, which boasts information about the restaurant. We ordered the Reminder and Lily of Flowers for drinks. I like that on the drink menu, they show you the sour and sweet levels. They were spot on with the Reminder, as it was just slightly more sour than sweet. It's something I would recreate at home. The Lily of Sisters was balanced but not my favorite. For dinner I ordered the Crispy Duck Ka Prow was a side of wide noodles. I enjoyed the meal more once I got a second bowl of sauce to pour over the noodles, as the first bowl was more vegetables than sauce. The duck was amazing! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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

The ambiance was great. It's beautiful inside with lots of seating options including outdoor space. I ordered the crab rangoons, Thai iced tea, and cashew nut chicken. The food was delicious. I'm bummed that I was never asked about how spicy I wanted it because it would have tasted even better with some spice. I was so hungry I didn't think to ask myself. The staff were so attentive, friendly, and quick. I'd give it a 4.5+ if I could. read more

This place is a gem! I enjoyed every bite and feels like reminiscing my Thailand trip with all of these good food. From the crying tiger, curry, the drinks and the dessert. It's so good! And plus the ambiance or the interior design of this place is so cool. The way how they positioned this restaurant is having a bakeshop inside the restaurant that looks like enchanted then when you go outside of the bakeshop it looks like a library that mixed with old school cinema. Service was outstanding, our server really gave us a good recommendation and rapport. Overall it was a good experience and surely will come back! read more

Demanding bigger amount of Tip from costumer is wrong. It would help the service personal if the employer pay the employees better so the service girls don't think the costumer have to pay for their salaries. Today I spend a hour eating a meal worth 180 dollars, I tip 15 dollars, the service girls came back to ask me why I only tip her 15 dollars... She was almost crying... it makes me feel bad at first then she became mad and started demanding more tip .... i totally disagree whit the idea of being force to tip 30% to somebody just for taking my order. read more

Super adorable location - perfect for a date night or a lunch/dinner with friends/family. Lots of parking & a close drive to Old Town - Waterfront. Server was fast and attentive. Food is consistent and good, though it is pretty pricey so it couldn't be my weekly Thai takeout. My only complaint is that, at least for me, the toffee cake was a lot more dry than what I experienced at the real Magnolia bakery (where the dessert here comes from). The original makes you crumble with joy. This just crumbled in general (but I promise, it was still good - I mean, it had toffee and chocolate, I'm not complaining too much). Will come again in due time. read more

Three times a charm! Each time the drinks are great, food is tasty, service is friendly and the interior is very cute. Great compliment to the neighborhood! I need to check out the desserts specifically next time at the Magnolia located inside! However, if the treats are anything like the toffee cake, I'll pass. Crying Tiger fish is recommended. Espresso martini is recommended. Toffee cake is not recommended. read more

Drunken noodles were not good. My broccoli and tofu were cold. Left me a little disappointed although we came pretty late at 10pm. They close at 11. Spring rolls were very hot sauce gave them flavor. Crab Ragoons were tasty ordered some to go. Curry and roti they also liked. Other dishes I'm too sleepy to remember.They weren't mines but my family enjoyed. The establishment itself is the cutest. I stepped into this little town with a theater and bakery in the back. So cute. I could come back..... def won't get the drunken noodles. read more

Man oh man, what a gem! This place is so good! The food, the service, the ambiance... all A1! Was conveniently located next to my hotel and this was a daily stop. The food was just too good! Flavored to perfection I had the green curry and drunken noodles. Both were outstanding - highly recommend. We brought some wine for outside though they do have a good selection of spirits. They have a corking fee of $15 should you bring a bottle from outside. There's also a delicious bakery "Magnolia" that's inside the restaurant. Though I was full and didn't get anything, everything looked so delicious! All around, a great place. Don't miss out! read more

First, thank YOU to the incredible staff for making my boyfriend's special day, memorable! This place is HIGHLY recommended for a date, meetup with friends, lunch with the family, or even a casual meeting. The noise level was great during the day and the service was pretty good. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Drinks: Mines: Queen Bee! His: Thai Iced tea Not only was my drink fun to capture images but how cute is it to have your own mini honey dipper covered in honey and nicely positioned in the glass. I would say that the only downside is that the glass was a little too small and tight for everything happening inside. But, nonetheless, the balance of liquor and sweetness was perfect for those desiring a lite drink in the daytime. I can bet that this is a winner during the summer because it puts you in a summer mood: on the beach, enjoying some sun, the sound of waves, and sand in your toes. Thai iced tea: my boyfriend said that it was a hit for him and that he enjoy it to the last drop. Appetizers: Menu description: fried puff pastry with curry, minced chicken, potatoes served with Thai cucumber relish. The curry puffs came recommended by the hostess so we decided to move forward with ordering that. What can be said but "Chefs kiss" This flaky, buttery soft, flavorful puff was enough to share with someone else but very filling at the same time. The curry potatoes inside was prepared with all of the right spices and herbs and it quickly took your palate on a flavor carpet ride...I felt like I was in a whole new world lol. Add the cucumber relish before each bite and I promise that you'll likely place an order of these to go! SO delicious. Price: $11 Entrees: Mines-Selected from the Chef's recommendation list. Menu description: Crispy Duck Kaprow-Boneless duck deep fried in a light batter, topped with basil in spicy chili with garlic sauce. Review: 10 shiny forks, a twirl, and a WOW! This was good. Breaking down the taste from start to finish, the duck had a beautiful fatty flavor, seasoned to perfection. Although fried, it wasn't too crispy nor too soft, it was well prepared and the garlic sauce and chili complimented its flavor. Now, I'm normally picky when it comes to vegetables because they can be a hit or miss. The broccoli were a hit! The carrots, cabbages, and everything placed under the duck were a complete hit! I immediately dug into my vegetables first and had to stop myself in order to try some of the duck for my review. The perfect balance of flavors! Now was the rice necessary? Not really! The dish in itself is beyond filling so you have the choice to enjoy your rice on the side or simply stick to the vegetables and duck. Price: $23 My boyfriend's dish: Menu description: Panang Curry. Spicy creamy red curry sauce sprinkled with kefir lime leaves siding with broccoli. He LOVED his dish and raved about how spicy (cleared his sinus lol) yet flavorful the dish was. He mentioned this dish is normally one of his favorite Thai dishes and that Sisters did an excellent job at execution. He gave this a perfect 10 shiny spoons and a cool sip of water lol Price: $17 Dessert: Sweet tooth lover lean in closer, whatever you do, ORDER this Thai toast and share it with someone. It's the PERFECT way to end a spice vacation. Topped with rich chocolate, ice cream (vanilla and chocolate) along with a few other sweet treats, we were like two kids in a candy store! I loved every bite. Price: $7.50 Overall, I see this place being one of my favorite get away spots. It delivered on Thai with some twist but held true to delivering Thai spices and flavors. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here. read more

Came here for brunch on 3/23. The inside is beautiful and we were seated in view of magnolia bakery which was covered in floral decor. I had a drink but I cannot remember what it was called. Honey something and had bourbon in it, fairly solid drink. I also had the calamari, sister wings, crispy wontons and steamed dumplings. Calamari - 7/10 not as tender as I would like but the batter and dipping sauce was good. Sister wings - 8/10 they had a great crunch and were served with a sweet chili sauce. Crispy wontons - 8/10 amazing texture but limited filling. Steamed Dumplings - 5/10 they were really dense and lacked flavor. The service was also great but I can't recall the name of our server. I wish I had the time and space for the bakery but didn't want to carry out anything as it was my first time. Outside of that I don't know if i would try this place again. Their menu seemed spice heavy and unavoidable unless you were ordering basic items. read more

Me and my friend dropped in to Sister Thai. Reservations could not be made but they quickly sat us. We actually went to the bar for drinks and our table was ready before the drinks were made . The ambiance and drink were esthetically pleasing and exactly what we imagined for a girls night out. The food was okay. Personally the food lacked flavor and spice. I made my food choices based on their popular items such as the Crispy Spring Rolls, Wonton Soup, and shrimp Pad Thai. Overall, I would return for the bar only read more

9.17.2023. The birthday girl loves Thai food so after careful consideration, we selected Sisters to celebrate. The restaurant is bright, always bustling with people even on a Sunday night, & I personally love that little old school movie style bar. My party of 8 were seated immediately. Our server was pretty good, but a bit impatient. She was assigned to our table alone and had others tables. Consequently, after she captured the drinks, apps, & entreè orders, she would dart off when we still had questions & needed other items. For example, my friend & I ordered hot green tea. Friend was able to request honey, darted off before I could, she delivered maybe 2 teaspoons of honey. My friend didn't want to share. So I asked the next time. I received even less honey. Has honey gone up??? For menu items that you could specify the spice level, she told us if you get it too spicy it's nothing she could do about it... Really?? Assuming this has happened a lot in the past. Fortunately, all the food came out fresh & delicious. Another highlight was the birthday dessert. It was beautiful with a bunch of different elements & textures. We had a good time. +On trend with other restaurants, Sisters accepts 3 credit cards MAX which wasn't a problem because we used 1. read more

This is not your average Thai place. It really blew me away with the authenticity of the dishes, uniqueness of the flavors, and clean, fresh ingredients. The menu is very vast, but honestly you cannot go wrong. We went with menu items not often found in other Thai places such as Khao Soi and Som Tum Set. The Khao Soi was not as spicy as expected, but the curry broth was rich, and there was a ton of chicken, we counted probably 5 whole chicken thighs inside! The noodles were also delicious and had a good pull to them. The Som Tum Set chicken was very sweet and had a good sauce. The salad was extremely fresh and had great texture, flavor, and amount of spice. The Donald rolls were the perfect size for two to split. In regards to seating, the restaurant is a little bit crowded. It's good for a large get together, but for two people catching up, the din of the conversation and close proximities of the tables make it difficult to have a good conversation. The atmosphere is beautiful and fun. There's a bar as well with a wide variety of drinks. The building is extremely new so it's very clean on the inside and outside. Cappuccino was delicious! It came from magnolia Bakery, which you can also order from for dessert if you're not absolutely stuffed by the time you finish your meals! Parking is paid street parking! read more

Came to Sisters Thai for dinner (early dinner depending on your age), and it was quite a treat. I had a reservation, got there a bit early, but they sat us without issue. I got the Pad Thai (delicious) and a P.D. Old Fashioned to drink. I have to admit that I had no idea what I ordered with that old fashioned, but it was delicious! I don't know how to describe it, but the flavors all blended tremendously (and the ice cube was crystal clear!). They have a bar area for you to eat, or have a drink while you wait. Customer service was great, and they have pretty good seating on the inside (a mix of tables, booths, and table booth combos). If you're in Old Town, give them a try! read more

I didn't even know there was a Sister's Thai in Old Town. We headed her after a work outing at the Plant House next door. It was about 6pm and we were ok without a reservation. I had parked in the parking garage down the street, it was free on the first floor. I got the Gai Grob Kaprow ($22) and The Lily of Sisters ($17). The prices are not cheap, but the atmosphere of the restaurant is nice, the food is decent, and the drinks are good and visually pleasing. I would definitely come back and would love to try some other food, maybe order couple of dishes to share. read more

First time at this particular location and let me say, the decor was adorable! I hate I didn't get a lot of pictures, but I really loved it. Our server was really nice, and stayed on top of things. It wasn't crowded at all, but we made reservations anyways. Now on to the food: * Garden Rolls - they aren't like any I've had before, but I enjoyed it. The sauce with it isn't the thick peanut butter sauce you normally get with garden rolls, but it had a great taste. * Crispy Spring Rolls - a lot of crunch (I assume from the cabbage or whatever the filling was) but it was very refreshing * Sisters Fried Rice - my friend said she loved hers as well, she said the pineapple was a wonderful addition to the rice and it was very savory * Crispy Wontons - fried well, but I wish it had a different sauce with it ...I can't put my finger on what I think was missing * Pad Thai with Shrimp - actually very good! I thought the bean sprouts would be overpowering, but they weren't. I think it needed a little more seasoning or a sauce of some sort, but overall the food was good! I would like to come back and try other dishes and their bakery! read more

I ordered Thai fried rice with chicken for takeout today. When I opened the container, I found only three half-slices of tomato and few tiny pieces of carrot only on top mixed with chicken and rice. It was almost entirely rice and chicken, which is not how the dish is described on the menu. When I dine in, the same dish contains more chicken and significantly more vegetables. This isn't the first time I've noticed this difference. A few months ago, I ordered pad see ew for takeout and experienced a similar issue. There were only three tiny pieces of broccoli, whereas the dine-in portion was much more generous. I even called to complain about it at the time. What's going on? I don't want to bring this issue to social media, but when I tried to contact them through their website, I received no response. This has happened multiple times, and I feel I have no choice but to write about it here. It's disappointing to see takeout customers being treated this way--unless this is just happening to me? To other customers: Be aware. When you order takeout, make sure to open and check your food thoroughly before leaving the restaurant. read more

Parking on street. Food overall not too authentic. Appetizers first try. E-sarn sausage (northeastern Thai) wasaverage, not fatty and well plated. H_Numtok was a thickly sliced, grilled beef, average tasting, not thinly sliced as other Thai eateries. Sum Tum or papaya salad was average, something is missing. Sister fried wings were average, nice sized but bland. Fish cakes were red in color, curry taste in ground fish, not too tasty. Drinks Moscow mule x2 good, pomegranate sparkle good, an-chun lemonade good, diet coke x3 in cans good (no coke), wine Rose good. Drunken noodles chicken extra spicy was average. Gai grob kaprow was average, similar to my homemade chicken cutlet. Yum woon sen with cellophane noodle tasted average, something is missing. Spicy eggplant pork was very good, tasted like Thai food (recommend this entree). Sticky green rice and mangoes average. Magnolia creme crepe was very good, crispy crepe with creme and crushed Mango within. Bing purple potato was excellent, fine shaved icewith mochi crumbs. Toffee cake with vanilla ice cream was very good. Service was good, removed finished dishes, refill water, took order for additional al drinks. Ambiance was nice, very decorative wall inside outside umbrella to block sun. Overall 3.5 stars out of 5 round up to 4. Recommend only egg plant, desserts, and drinks. Entrees need some work. read more
