Sampannee Thai catered and served at our wedding, and they did SUCH an amazing job! While the food was delicious and much raved about afterwards, it was their service that really made the experience stand out.
Pat and her mom were so kind, patient, and sincere from the beginning. They worked with us to craft our menu, attended the final walk through, included free fruit carving, and brought an attentive and thoughtful crew to serve at the wedding. Their team set appetizers on the tables, grilled chicken satay on site, refilled water glasses, and rinsed off plates so those could be returned to the rental company. They also packed up the leftovers so guests could bring those home (which were still delicious for days after the wedding!).
If you’re looking for catering for an event, definitely reach out to Sampannee!

We visit Sampannee Thai whenever we visit Washington for fantastic, authentic Thai cuisine. We recommend the papaya salad, but every dish we have tried has been delicious. It is possible to book via their website, and they also offer takeaway.

I stopped by here with some friends on a rainy Saturday and we loved this place. When you first walk in the floral decor on the walls definitely stand out. The seats were extra comfy with the pillows and I couldn't stop looking at the decorative umbrellas hanging from the ceiling. The food here is authentic and delicious. We ordered everything from tofu Tom yum, Khao Soi beef, red curry, tofu stir fry and pad thai. We loved all of the dishes and how much flavor was in each one. Each of the soups had the right amount of shrimp paste or coconut milk.
The servers here were attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Our appetizers and entrees came out quickly. The menu is extensive and they feature a lot of vegetarian options. Even with a fairly packed restaurant our large party of 6 sat comfortably. I will definitely be back to try some of their other traditional items and the seafood dishes!
