Tasty Thai lunch in Old Town! Tried sleepy shrimp for the first time and they were very good: juicy shrimp wrapped in a wonton wrapper and served with a sweet chili sauce. We also enjoyed the balanced Thai iced tea, pad Thai with chicken, spring rolls and pad ginger with shrimp. Ample portions and comfortable seating combined with excellent service made for a wonderful rest from an afternoon of shopping. Thank you!

I eat here tonight, and I ordered the Thai steamed dumplings and the potted shrimp. Within an hour of eating I threw up violently. I think there may have been something wrong with the dumplings.

Probably some of the best Pad Thai in northern Virginia. It’s delicious and their customer service is truly top

Holy wow this place is amazing. It is unassuming, but the service is fantastic and everything tastes out of this world. I loved my Thai Iced Tea, and I highly recommend the crispy duck and the duck curry - easily one of the best duck dishes I've had in my life. 10/10!

It's rare to visit a touristy town and get a meal with drinks for $50! The drinks were a pleasant bonus, coming in at $8.75 each for a Cosmo and a margarita in a fun cactus glass.We split a Shrimp Pad Thai entree with everything needed to make me sweat on the side.We had the "Crispy" Spring Rolls as an app; they were unflavorful, and the cellophane sheets were heavy and anything but light and crispy.In a sea of restaurants, Sam Phao Thai Cusine has a lot of great opportunities, and people should know it!

My family and I have eaten here twice in the same month. The food is great, the service is quick and they are very accommodating and family friendly. The waitress was very kind to our young children and brought kid plates and never acted like they were a distraction. This place will definitely be a place we frequent!

The food is phenomenal. The only thing that keeps me from ordering take out from here more often is their use of styrofoam containers.

Excellent! This place was delicious. Some of the best Thai food we've had. Flavors were all very clean and distinct. Service was very quick and kind. We all loved it.

Food was decent. The crying tiger. Would probably order out and not eat in. We couldn't get past the smell of wet dog that was the first smell when we walked in. The waitress was friendly. The restaurant is extremely small and cozy.
