I've been a couple of times recently trying the Green Curry and the Yellow Curry. This trip, I had the Panang Curry. All were pretty good. This is a tasty neighborhood choice. Friendly and efficient service. They do a lot ofntake out judging by the Uber pickups. The food isn't too spicy and the ingredients are fresh. Close to Eastern Market Metro. Parking is street. Give them a try.

Solid neighborhood thai restaurant with delicious crispy salmon and pad thai. Takeout food is always delicious and ready before the suggested time

Stopped in for dinner on a whim. Best Pad Thai I have had in a long time. As for the spicy version if you like your face to sweat like I do. Quick (5 minutes from when I ordered) and very friendly service. Price was more than fair and portion was plenty. Highly recommend even though the area is a little sketchy at night.

My wife and I get carry-out from here a minimum of once per week. It is the ultimate neighborhood Thai spot, incredibly dependable and I might move if they ever shut down.

This hidden gem offers some of the best Thai cuisine in the area. The food, drinks, and overall experience are consistently outstanding. I appreciate the freshness and piping hot servings. I've returned multiple times for the pad see ew and Thai fried rice, both in the veg versions with tofu, which is always cooked perfectly. Pairing my meals with Thai iced tea or wine adds to the experience. The ambiance is laid-back, and the service is consistently good. Highly recommend for quality Thai food.

Sanphan Thai Cuisine is undoubtedly the best Thai restaurant in SE DC. You can't go wrong with anything on their menu. Personally, I always opt for the red curry dish with shrimp and white rice, paired perfectly with a glass of wine. The service is consistently solid, and the ambiance is casual and welcoming, making every visit a delightful experience. Whether you're a Thai food enthusiast or just looking for a great meal, Sanphan Thai Cuisine is a must-try.

Such great food!! The food came quickly even during the weekday evening rush. I had a glass of wine, and pad Thai with chicken. It was delicious! A little spice to it but certainly not too much.
I ordered through Uber Eats and it took nearly 3 hours to get the food. The Uber driver was kind enough to wait the ridiculously long time for preparation. When I finally received the food, it was cold and flavorless. I asked for my cold salad to be packed separately from the warm food and it was not. So the salad wilted and was warm, while the rest of the food had lost all of the heat. We ordered a couple of fried items (wings and spring rolls), which must be served warm. They were terrible cold. The Thai specialty dishes were all spicy but no flavor of herbs or seasoning. Worst Uber Eats experience EVER.

I ordered the Pad Broccoli with beef, the sauce was thin as water and lacked flavor! once I added it to the rice it completely lost all remaining flavor. The beef was not tough but instead chewy like bubblegum, making it very hard to eat, even after trying to only eat the small pieces of beef. still chewy ! the spring rolls are bland Also, when I got my food I asked the staff if I could take a seat and eat some of my food, there were plenty of seats but the staff told me that seats were for customers or "dine in" only ... won't be coming back and don't recommend to anyone who's in a rush or looking to try something new !

Some of the best pad thai I had in a long time. SO GOOD! Great portion size. Great customer service and cute restaurant. When we got there there weren't very many people but soon the restaurant was packed with dine-in and to go orders. Will definitely be going back!

Almost perfect! Staple Thai joint on Penn. Ave in CapHill. Food is rich, hot, and flavorful. Drink pours are healthy. A true gem.
