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!
