I think this was the first location!
Sisters Thai was the first place that transfer you to a unique ambiance where you feel like you're sitting in someone's mansion or a fancy library! It's literally like the great former DC CM Kimo once said. It's the living room restaurant! Cute & Cozy! They care about the details, but honestly, if the story was only about the ambiance, you wouldn't see more beautiful and amazing Sisters Thai locations! Mosaic , Potomac MD, and my favorite location is the old town Alexandria one!
The real story is about the taste , quality, and customer service that goes along with that great ambiance!
I order a lot from sisters Thai for to go and I really like my experience with them!
I call ahead, place my order, spell out my details and special requests, and I get what I asked for!
Very consistent and always fresh, hot, and tasty!

Sister's Thai was a staple back when I went to George Mason. It's such a cute vibe inside and definitely makes you feel at home.
I don't love this location because there's always traffic and parking is difficult (unless you're going on off hours). The inside is also fairly small so it's not a great place for big groups.
However, the food is always on point. I love all the typical Thai dishes here and they also have a few Thai "street food" too.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Leah P.Centreville, VA034Feb 23, 2024
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.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 209466Mar 17, 2024
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.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jan 28, 2024
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.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - 2598364Sep 5, 2023
We had a pretty nice experience dining in at Sisters Thai in Fairfax. A parking lot is available across the street and could get full pretty quickly. We went late - around 9pm for dinner and this place was still very busy. Thankfully we got a table pretty fast, and service was friendly. There are not a lot of tables here though, so I'd caution against coming during a lunch or dinner rush.
Started out with the crispy spring rolls. These definitely tasted fresh to me and the dipping sauce was great. The rolls themselves could've used a smidge more flavor.
I got the Thai tea to drink - it was slightly too sweet for my liking but overall pretty good.
I tried the chicken pad Thai for my entree - I wished the pad Thai had a bit more flavor, it was good but not the best I've had. Portion size was nice though. However, my fiancé got the crispy duck curry and it was DELICIOUS. I was a bit jealous I didn't get a curry dish instead because it was so flavorful and had a nice spice level. I'd come back for the curry.
We needed with the strawberry shortcake- it was very light and fluffy.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 1 - Virginia G.Chantilly, VA06Apr 15, 2024
My absolute favorite Thai food place in Fairfax County! Such a classic, crisp tastes, immaculate flavor profiles, and chic decor!

Sisters Thai has become one of our go-to lunch/dinner places. Our favorite dishes are Sisters fried rice, pottery shrimp, and the tried and true pad Thai. My only con for this place is how close the tables are to each other. When it's just me and my SO dining, I secretly hope not to be seated near another table of 2. It's so awkward to squish between that narrow little space between the tables. It literally feels like you're squishing past people in a movie theater aisle or even an airplane aisle.
Anyway, the food is consistently good and the service is super quick! I love the little cozy touches - from the newspaper menus to the decor throughout. The non-alcoholic drink menu is nice as well! The Thai tea and various lemonades/Asian-fruit based ice slushes are great.
All in all, I feel like this place tries to optimize efficiency (nothing wrong with that) but that probably underlies the slightly uncomfortable table arrangements. Service is fast but not necessarily warm or friendly (also nothing necessarily wrong with that). It's not somewhere where you would feel like a regular even if you go regularly. That being said, it's still one of our go-tos for good Thai food in the Mosaic District!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jun 19, 2023
Sooo soo good ! I'm a Thai fend and this place was soo yummy!
I'll be coming back to this spot for future noms and already dreaming about the next time I can order the sister Thai fried rice. How can fried rice with cashews, pineapples, tomatoes, shrimp and chicken be soo freaking good?Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
