Sam Phao Thai Cuisine

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!

Our favorite Thai place in Old Town. Great food and service. Love the Pad Thai but you can't go wrong with other noodle dishes or the curries either.

Wow! Went here on my birthday and had a great meal. We order the calamari, the fried tofu and the spring rolls. Loved everyhting but the fried tofu was definitely my favorite appetizer. It was so hard to choose because all the appetizers sounded great will definitely be trying the shrimp cakes next time. Thai tea was so balanced. My bf order the crying tiger steak it was so delicious he is making it as we speak, he just had to know how. I got lard gai and the lemongrass flavor was tangy and hit the spot, it had the exact taste I was craving. The coconut lemongrass soup is refreshing and crisp.

We finished off the meal with the mango and sticky rice which was good but wow the thai custard and sticky rice blew my mind Ive never had anything like it and loved the combination of hot sticky rice with the cool custard.

Our waitress was so friendly and sweet. My bf surprised the cooks by ordering one last entree and demolishing it immediately. I cant wait to come back and try more of their food. Thanks for a great birthday experience!

Fantastic restaurant! One of my favorite places to get Thai food in old town! Definitely recommend this small, but very cute restaurant! Food is delicious! Recommend the curries and pad see ew :)

This place is amazing! The food is fast and it’s cheap!!!!!!!!!!! Outstanding service. When I ordered a dessert, he asked if I wanted it to be served later AS a dessert!!!!!!!

Staying in town for the weekend, we were craving Thai food. My husband got the chicken pad Thai and I had beef pad see ew. Both were delicious! Prices were decent and they give nice portions. We will definitely be back next time we are in town!!

*** Update

So I recently was craving this dish again and I’m not sure what happened but I was Extremely! Disappointed… It was not good at all the flavors were t there and it was not mixed very well I didn’t even eat very much of it. Which really sucks because the price for it went up..

Everything was Sooooooooo delicious and Gong was great they were so busy and he was one of the few that was serving and such. Loved evening about our time here. Even ordered food to go.

I got the Panang Curry and it was soooo delicious and flavorful! Portion size was perfect for me (but big appetite folks will need a second dish.) Also got the mango sticky rice dessert which was very yummy.

If I ever come back to this city I’ll be back!

Whenever I visit this Alexandria office, I love this little spot. Right on street to people watch, and food is excellent! The dumplings and Bangkok noodles might be my favorite dish. Definitely stop here if you like Thai food!
