Sampannee Thai

Sampannee Thai is a dream brought to life by Mama Kate, a talented chef who was born and raised in Bangkok, Thailand. At just 16 years old, Mama Kate honed her culinary skills at the prestigious Thai Royal Culinary School at The Grand Palace, learning from royal chefs. This deep connection to Thailand’s culinary traditions is reflected in every dish we serve today, making us your go-to place for authentic Thai cuisine in Washington, DC.

Traditional Thai dishes like Pad Thai, Drunken noodles, Basil Fried Rice or our curry's, like traditional Massaman, Panang, Green and Red curry are some of our crowds favorite. 

We bring the color, spicy and flavors of Thailand with love to DC, to become your favorite neighborhood restaurant in Dupont Circle.
