Service was delightful and prompt. They were very busy on a Sunday afternoon but attentive bringing menus and water as soon as we were seated. I ordered the shrimp cakes which were very tasty and well portioned. We had pad Thai shrimp which was fresh and wonderful. I've been on a duck binge lately and decided to order the crispy duck curry. There was a lot of duck in the serving and the red curry was so nice, much nicer than the red curry I make. Very flavorful and nice addition of potato, pepper and small tomato. We were in a hurry to attend a show and didn't have time to linger but we plan to be back in a few weeks. The restaurant is in a very walkable area of Fairfax City with a free parking lot just up the street less than a block. read more

The food here is always amazing. I have dined at a few of their locations, but I mostly order out. I don't have any food allergies, but I can still be a picky eater if I want to be here and they always try to accommodate and deliver with a smile. :) read more

Great service, cute ambience, and extensive menu. If you like dining in cute girly Restaurants this is the spot for you. Even the bathroom is decked out w/ a faux grass wall. It's a small spot, like many Thai restaurants but the menu isn't. They have plenty of options to choose from for the real Thai food lovers. Options with heat and some w/ less heat. They prep fake out orders too, so you'll see people coming in to pick up right in the middle of the restaurant. A small pitcher of water is left on the table to refill your own drink. The chairs aren't the most comfortable w/ a hard wooden seat, that's the only real downside. You can park across the street in the small lot or garage. Beware the lot is tight. read more

Sisters Thai - Moo Grob Basil- SO GOOD! - Thai Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

My go-to for Thai food! Sisters Thai has some of the best in the area. The food quality and taste are consistent at the locations I normally go to (Old Town and Mosaic). The portions are good for the price, and the service is always nice. The decorations at their restaurants are adorable and chic. We usually get take out at this location, since it's easier and the inside is quite small. This time we got Panang curry with beef, spicy eggplant with tofu, drunken noodles with beef, and cripsy duck ka pow. All of the dishes were so delicious! The curry was so creamy and flavorful, with a generous portion of tender beef. The drunken noodles were amazing and cooked well. The eggplants had a nice bite to it (it's not soggy). The duck ka pow was still crispy and the sauce was really tasty! Some of my other favorites (didn't get them this time) are their pad thai and moo grob basil. I'm always satisfied after having food from Sisters Thai. Love love love it! read more

Really cool place with delicious food and good service. Went for dinner with my sisters, and we all loved our entrees. We didn't enjoy the spring rolls (except the dipping sauce) or the papaya salad (would have been better as takeout, the dressing needed to seep in more). That being said, they were doing a brisk takeout business. Will certainly return to try more of their dishes. read more

Food is good. Service is regularly trash. I don't think anyone cares. We showed up with party of 12 and felt more apologetic about party size than anything else. Shouldn't our business be welcomed? Food came out at varying times and were auctioned off. The guest of honor- her food was completely forgotten and came out last after asking about it. I want to support small businesses. I hate that I'm leaving 2 stars, but service is consistently trash whether it's peak hours or slow. Green salad be unexpectedly good tho. Peanut dressing yum. read more

Sisters Thai - Thai Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

We made a reservation for three at 7pm. One of our friends couldn't make it, so the two of us still went. We arrived very early but drove around for nearly 15 minutes trying to find parking because there is practically none in that area. I even called them under our reservation name while we were looking for parking to let them know that we would be delayed. Once we got there, the woman who sat us scolded me saying that I should call ahead if I'm going to be late because the table could've gone to someone else (which I understand) but I told her that I did call. She sat us at a table for three (we should've told her earlier that the third person wasn't coming) but once we told her she made us move tables after we had gotten our drinks, menus, and silverware because we were taking up too much space at the larger table. It is very cramped in there but quite cute! I just kept feeling like I was in the way of the servers. The food was delicious but the drunken noodles were SOOO spicy. She asked me what level of heat I wanted on a scale of 1-5, to which I said 3. I could barely eat it because my mouth was on fire I saw jalapeños and red paper flakes throughout, and my friend agreed it was way too hot for consumption as well. Normally I wouldn't mind this heat but she got drunken noodles as well with a level 2 heat and hers had no heat in the slightest (no flakes or peppers present). It seemed like a dramatic change between level 2 and level 3. read more

We tried to do family style and share all the dishes so that we can enjoy and taste all the food. I think I was overwhelmed by how good each dish was and I didn't think I had enough of each.

We were running errands late and found this wonderful place. The interior design of Sister is so unique. You feeling like you are eating in someone's living room. Service was quick and friendly. The food was prepared quick and came out nice and hot. I had the Sister's Fried rice. I loved the sweetness of the pineapple. The cashews gave it so creaminess. My wife had the Thai Fried rice. Smokey and earthy with some nice spiciness. Definitely coming back when i have more time for tea or dessert (or both). read more

I dined here on a whim with my mom and toddler son for dinner. My only experience prior had been lunch years ago, and I know how well-regarded Sisters Thai is so I was excited to return! The atmosphere is Super cute. It's called the "Living room" and vaguely resembles one with lots of unique seating, couches, and bookshelves and side tables. They do have booster chairs but they fit awkwardly on the seating options. Service was on the slower side but friendly. I ordered my son the pad se ew which is perfect for a toddler just getting used to Thai food as it is not spicy. The drunken noodles (ordered hot) had a great kick to it, and my mom enjoyed her pad Thai. Portions were large and lasted into the 3-meal range. We also enjoyed the chocolate mousse to go and it was delicious! It was very rich, very chocolatey, and the perfect way to end a delicious meal! read more

First timer and this was the best Thai I have had on the east coast! The food portion are large and shareable and packed all the yummy Thai flavors. I felt like I was catapulted to Thailand for the two hours of dining. We sat outside and had impeccable service. Ordered drunken noodle Kapow fried rice with shrimp and a salad. There was an intimate vibe, inside and outside. I will definitely be back for another round of magnificent experience. #enjoygoodpeople read more

No complaints! Were seated quickly on a Sunday. Tried the pad see ew, pad Thai with extra egg, Tom Yum soup, chive dumplings, and drunken noodles. I loved the pad Thai, I mix in peanut sauce usually (my weird preference) and sisters Thai has amazing peanut sauce, it did not disappoint. The chive dumpling was ok, nothing wrong with it, just not my preferred appetizer, so I wouldn't get it again. read more

Went to Sisters on a busy Sunday night. Thankfully we were able to be seated right away. Food was as you'd expect -- maybe it wasn't out of this world, but it was what you want out of your thai food cravings.They were out of a couple of the dessert and drink options my friends and I wanted, which made us sad for those brief moments in time, but our substitute choices were still really great. Friends like the dessert here more than Magnolia where their desserts are catered from, because here you get the best of both worlds, and "at least the cake is moist (during this hour since we came late)!" Service was good. No complaints there. All in all, if you want a nice thai meal, you can't go wrong with Sisters. Their locations are on theme and super cute. Will definitely come again. read more

Been coming to this spot for so many years. I've always loved Sisters Thai and knew they had the best comfort thai food along with the beautiful homely restaurant ambiance. Their menu is so cute it looks like a newspaper and lays out all food options, price, etc so creatively. loved the little touch! I ordered the chicken drunken noodles and mango sticky rice which, both were absolutely delicious. The noodles really filled me up without feeling greasy after. I asked for some chili oil on the side to make it spicier since it came on the mild side - and it added the perfect kick i needed. the mango sticky rice was simply delicious - i di wish the mangoes were colder and the rice was warmer. my favorite part about the dish is the differing temperatures there but regardless i enjoyed the guiltless dessert. i will always be returning here for good food and good times :) read more

Sisters Thai - chicken drunken noodles - Thai Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

The food was delicious and the decor is really neat. We had the panang curry with chicken and pad se ew with beef. Will absolutely go back.

The drunken noodles were flavorful but were drenched in sauce :/ it was too saucy which I didn't like because it made the dish too greasy/salty. The crispy pork was not crispy and fairly dry, but the server was kind enough to let us order a different dish instead. My friends got the crispy duck curry (which didn't have much duck in it) and the panang tofu curry. The curries were good and tasted similar to each other with the coconut flavor. The restaurant was filled so my table had difficulty getting a hold of a server to order/ get our checks. I would stop by if I'm in the area, but there are better thai restaurants in tysons(neisha thai) and centreville(sakoonthai). read more

Sisters Thai - Drunken noodles, crispy pork - Thai Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

Romantic bliss and great ambiance. There is something seriously special and serenading about Sisters Thai. The city of Fairfax location in old town, is the best in the chain. If you want to dress up nice, slap on a bit of that charming cologne, and impress a lady this spot delivers! Also with its very reasonable prices, you won't feel your wallet burn. That makes this a must visit place. Intimate and comfortable. The service and staff are exemplary. You will feel as if you are a revered guest here, which is something extraordinary. That's another reason I'm a regular. Now with what appears to be a nice girlfriend, we will be back again. My sister in law is from Thailand and recommends this place. She's not exactly prone to giving high marks for Thai cuisine, but she says this one is her favorite. That alone plus other folks from there saying the same, is more proverbial proof in the pudding Sister Thai is doing the right things. As soon as I walked in first time to now, there's something in the air. You're always welcome here is the description. The wonton and shrimp rolls as appetizers are wicked. I also like the spring rolls. All are made with quality and I love the appearance of the meals here. The plates just look artistic. With the small seating area, it's a place where you can spend quality time together. This relaxed vibe and out come the entrees. What to recommend? Personal favorite is the crispy duck curry. Order it regularly or if you want to spice it up, they can make that happen. That's a subjective decision. Honey roast duck is tasty too. This is a bit smaller but portions are very good here. Quality plus size is winning after all. Chicken ka prow is the safest pick, and if unsure go with this. If not the staff is great with recommendations. Parking is a cinch in old town, and this romantic and tasty place is among favorites! Well done and keep it up. read more

This place is perfect for a ladies lunch or a date! The interior is so cute (including the bathroom!) and when their menu was a newspaper I was dying inside. I got the crispy spring rolls and the khao soi. Both were ok. I tried my sister's drunken noodle and it was lacking in spice for me. Another friend got a braised pork belly dish with a green leafy vegetable and that looked really good and I would like to try next time. read more

Came back here after 4 years or so and I have to say I still love this place ! I used to come here all the time when I was in college but since then I haven't really been back. Decided to come back here with friends and I have to say I am impressed that the quality of the food has not gone down and I still love the ambiance of this place ! Waitresses are always so kind and polite. I always get the drunken noodles here because it's so delicious !! If you're near by I recommend you trying the green curry, sisters friend rice or the drunken noodles (: read more

How can something be so right be soooooo wrong! This quaint place seemed at first glance the perfect mix of the eclectic and refined. When driving by the restaurant, I was surprised by its charm and the overall feel of the decor, and the paintings ranged from General Prem Tinsulanonda to General George Washington. The menus are well-curated, and the staff was good (in the beginning). I ordered the crispy pork and drunken noodles. My friend, who also happens to be vegan, ordered fried tofu for an appetizer and a green tofu curry. First the good, my dishes all came simultaneously despite the pork cheek being purchased as an appetizer. Perhaps the servers did not realize one of my dishes was an appetizer. The flavor was delicious! I could honestly order that as a main dish. The drunken noodles were also excellent--perfect spice and well cooked. The not-so-good: my friend enjoyed the fried tofu and was excited about the rest of his food. The green curry looked good, although they did not provide him with the proper utensil to eat the curry; as he muddled through the curry with a soup broth spoon, he discovered an uninvited and most certainly unintended ingredient--a long strand of hair. I understand mistakes happen; he immediately notified the server and showed him the piece of hair, stating I'm pretty sure it's not mine considering I'm bald. The server quickly offered to remake the meal; when the retired dish came back, it looked again delicious. As my guest started to eat his dinner, he noticed something that looked like a piece of meat. He called the server to the table and asked the server was this infant meat? The server not sure, and with a slight language barrier between us, mind you, my friend who speaks seven languages fluently insisted that the foreign object in his food was meat. The server said it's not meat; it's shrimp. I reminded him that my friend is vegan, which means he does not eat shellfish or any other animal or milk product. He ordered a vegan dish offered on the menu, so there was no special order or adaption required. Also, as a caregiver to a child whose liver transplant at eight weeks old was due to someone not fully understanding his dietary restrictions and thinking of my in-law, who is deathly allergic to shellfish, this was more concerning, as explained to the server. The server took the shrimp back to the kitchen and, upon returning, flip-flopped between not knowing what the mystery meat was and how to rectify the problem. He finally settled on duck was added to the meal. After the dinner and after several attempts to contact the manager/owner whom I was told was allegedly delivering food via DoorDash, my frustration with the staff hit a fever pitch. This would be all done, but the manager did not speak with us in person, and when he did, it was only because of the threat of a health department inspection and after waiting over an hour and 20 minutes. What was redeeming, and the reason this got at least two stars, was that the manager offered me a means of making up for such a terrible experience. After further explaining how only give a 50% discount for the infractions minimizes the severity, he consented to cover the meal. I hope to see them one day in the future, and I can come back and update this review with all positive comments. As for now, I would not recommend this place even if it has incredible food. When we go out for dining, there is a three-legged stool (experience, food, and safety). The dining experience and food are huge but most important is safety. I trust when I put an order in, my server will understand my dietary restrictions, properly relayed them to the kitchen, and the restaurant will be a partner with me to ensure food safety and sanitary conditions in the parts of the restaurants I cannot see--this important component did not happen during this trip. read more

You know the moment when you have high expectations for a restaurant and you really wanted it to be amazing but you can't help it. This is exactly what happened to me at Sisters Thai. Let's start with customer service, I ordered two entrees, 2 sides and 2 deserts. I made the order to carry out. When I asked the lady on the phone additional questions about the food and times to pick up, she had very unprofessional tone. Entrees, I ordered drunken noodles 9/10 - it was spot on it was flavorful and cooked to perfection. Kua Gai Noodle Dinner- 3/10 it didn't taste good. Sides: Spring roll was crispy and fresh as I like my spring roll to taste, nothing special. 8/10. We ordered Shrimp cakes- super bland inside and had soggy outer surface. 3/10. Dessert: we got two servings of Mango cheesecake. The cakes were frozen hard like rock. We had to microwave them. I never had to do that to a cheese cake before. After thawing them out they did tasted good but the whole experience was a let down. Let's be honest here, if you are going to spend over 50-60$ on a meal. You don't want anything frozen. I won't be returning to Sisters Thai because my experience was not pleasant from start to end. read more

I only have good things to say about Sisters Thai. From start to finish, we had an excellent experience. It was a rainy Mother's Day weekend and I was craving soup but wanted something a little bit spicy (and also wanted to avoid the crowds of Tysons or the Mosaic District). Sisters Thai in Old Town Fairfax scratched that itch. They serve up delicious soup (Tom Yum, to be precise) that it hot (temperature and spice-wise) and has tons of yummy ingredients including adorable tiny little baby mushrooms. As for the rest of the food: I have three little ones and, admittedly, sometimes they can be picky eaters, but even they give Sisters Thai their seal of approval! We all enjoyed the crispy spring rolls, Thai fried rice, and pad thai. Hubby and I were delighted with our Tom Yum and our Thai iced teas. He ordered the duck and, while he wasn't crazy about it (he said it was too dry), everything else was top-notch. The ambience is very warm and welcoming. The decor was elegant yet cozy, bohemian yet elevated (there's even a rendition of the Mona Lisa in the bathroom -- if that's not the utmost depiction of class, then I don't know what is.) The part of the dining room we were seated in is small and intimate with plenty of windows, hanging flowers, and string lights. The other half of the dining room looks more like a living room and has wall to wall bookshelves, comfy booths, plenty of framed photos/paintings, and flowers in vases. I can see why they call this location the "living room" -- and, to be honest, it totally works for them in the backdrop of historic Old Town Fairfax. "Charming" is an understatement. Service: we were running 15 minutes late for our reservation (it was raining heavily and traffic was a mess), but I called ahead to let them know that we would be a little late and they said it was no problem. Then, when we arrived, they had our table ready and were able to sit us immediately. Even though it was a busy Saturday night, we felt welcomed and well taken care of by all of the staff, especially our server, who brought out all of the food quickly and checked on us frequently to make sure everything was OK. We will be back to try some of their curries (they looked incredible) and are definitely looking forward to another wonderful experience soon! read more

This place is a go to!! The fried wontons are the best! Everything on the menu is good and fairly priced, especially their lunch special! They updated their menu (a bit ago) and add more things and in the style of a newspaper. The inside is so beautifully decorated, as well as the bathroom.

What a lovely vintage cafe-inspired restaurant? To be honest I didn't expect a Thai restaurant to look this lovely. I eat my environment when I'm dining so I was happy to observe, soak in and appreciate all the details they had put in the restaurant as well as COVID safe measures they have done. They have plexiglass dividers that are non-obstrusive and still works with their lovely decor. I love the bookcase shelves, cafe archway and even mini perfumes bottle display as well as the piano. Now the food also measured up to the decor. My friend ordered her shrimp pad thai and was impressed. I had tofu spicy curry dish availbl6 from the lunch special and it was very tasty. I also loved their thai soft tea cake. I'm not a huge dessert person bc I find most to be too sweet but this was just right. read more

Sisters Thai is a small Thai restaurant that has an aesthetic interior with its hanging floral decorations and interior windows and mirrors. I ordered the Thai Tea ($4), Tod Mun (fish cakes) ($7) the Duck Curry ($17), and the Chocolate Matcha Cake ($6.50). Subtotal: $34.50. The tea came out within a minute, and the Tod Mun came out less than 2 minutes later. And the curry came out within 10 minutes. And the cake was out in a few minutes from ordering, as was the check when asked. Super speedy service! The Thai Tea is pretty subtle in flavor. I think I would've preferred it more if it was had a more poignant taste. The Tod Mun were nice. An interesting texture when you first bite into it (a lil rubbery that squeaked), but became a bite you came back for with an underlying spice. The curry was pretty creamy and came with big chunks of meat you could really bite into. The curry had a light spice kick and was dense and filled you up. The meat was tender, but the dish wasn't a particular standout. The cake was sorta dry and pretty uninteresting. If you aren't in super dire need for sweets, I'd suggest you skip dessert. It's a cute place and if you're looking for a pretty place that'll get you your food quick, I'd totally recommend this place! Otherwise, I don't think that the value is necessarily there in terms of experience and price. read more

Sisters Thai is THE go to spot for Thai in the NoVA area. They have locations in Fairfax, mosaic, and Alexandria. The vibe is chic, antiquated and hip at the same time. It's decorated with bright florals, antique living room furniture, and comfy cushions and just makes you feel right at home. We ordered the crab fried rice, and beef noodle soup. Both times were delicious! The fried rice had that subtle sweet flavor, and combined with the crab meat, this dish was so good. The beef noodle soup was very flavorful, not too salty, with tender meat. Meat:broth ratio could have had a little more broth/noodles, but overall still very good. Service was quick, and very friendly. Easy to find street parking in the area. Love this place for a cute date night, catching up with friends, or with visiting friends/family. read more

My favorite dish is easily their drunken noodles! All the veggies and tofu are steamed and fried to the perfect consistency and cooked in the most delicious sauce. The noodles are also the to the right amount and fit right into the dish. If you like spicy, ask for their Thai hot! The spice will complement the dish rather than overpowering it! read more

My sis and stopped in here yesterday for lunch. For a Wednesday lunch hour, it was pretty busy but we got a table right away. I was excited to see they had lunch specials! For $10 you get an app and an entree. We ordered: - thai iced tea - 1 lunch special: chicken tom kha soup + pananag curry - 1 lunch special: chicken tom kha soup + pad thai - fish cake appetizer The tom kha wasn't my favorite, but I liked that they had a different kind of mushroom in it compared to normal white button mushrooms. I got the panang, but actually liked my sister's tofu pad thai better than my curry! I thought my curry wasn't thick enough, but it was still tasty. I really liked this thai spot! Super cute inside! I liked the fish cakes too, but my sis said she could taste ginger in it, so if you aren't a fan of ginger, maybe don't order it lol. read more

A cute place for a meal! I stopped by to order to go but was lured to sit by a slice of cake. It came out so cutely presented and was DELICIOUS! Not too sweet, with rich dark chocolate and matcha flavor. Texture was superb and the cream wasn't oily or heavy! You need to try this cake. My favorites out of their savory foods were their green curry and eggplant! I highly recommend the veggie option for the eggplant entree, the meat almost does the delicious eggplant and sauce a disservice. I didn't love the other dishes I got but these two where *chef's kiss* The interior was adorable and servers very kind, but the only thing I would say is don't sit near to the hallway leading to the bathrooms-- you can constantly smell it and it will put you off your food. read more
