I want to give this Asian spot 5 stars just for having sit down dining but the food is awesome too. (Why are so many Asian restaurants hesitant to reopen sit down???) I love the decor. Loved loved loved the green apple pompano! Sour, salty, sweet, tart, crunchy, fleshy, so many happy things happening!! Yummy pad see ew! read more

Didn't look like there were a lot of options in the NW Austin area so decided to give this place a try. Ordered online togo. Ordering was easy and was ready ontime. Tom Yum soup could have used some more vegetables/meat but the broth was tasty. Pad Thai was good an comparable to some of the good ones I've had in the area. The inside of the restaurant when I walked in to grab the food looks clean and cozy for a sit down meal. read more

This Thai place that gets it right! SipSaam delivers fresh, flavorful dishes that always hit the spot. My go-tos are the drunken noodles (perfect spice level) and the creamy Tom Kha soup. They cater to any heat preference, and the service is friendly and attentive. Thai food lovers, don't miss this gem! read more

Chicken satay was very chewy and had hard gristle pieces. Dessert has cover cooked rice. Went for father's day take out. When called back to talk to a manager they said they would call me back but instead blocked my number. Horrible customer service. read more

Always good. Love the curry. Happy hour is pretty good deal. Staff is friendly. Pricing is fair.

Service was speedy. Food was amazing. They offer customizable spice levels ranging 1 to 10. I got a spice level 3 for the tom kha soup and my husband got a level 4 for the spare ribs. I did not think the soup was spicy at all but it was very flavorful, and surprisingly filling. All of the food was 10/10, and for 2 non alcoholic beverages, 2 entrees and an appetizer, the price was great. Will come again. read more

Sip Saam Thai - Dumplings, spare ribs, pad see ew, chicken satay & Som Tom Salad - Thai Near Me - Austin, Texas

This was always my favorite Thai restaurant in north Austin until yesterday for several reasons. I ordered my usual Thai iced tea, but it tasted majorly watered down. Instead of my usual panang curry I tried the special "Massaman curry" with chicken. When it arrived the potatoes were severely undercooked as well as the beans and carrots. There was barely in chicken in it and it just didn't taste very fresh at all. It was a huge letdown since I am a regular at this place and also do delivery often and love their panang. We also got the Tom yum fried rice with seafood and it was a 6/10. I'll be taking a break from this place for a while. read more

Good amount of seating; best for groups up to 4-6 people. Fortunately, we didn't have to wait at all during the holidays since it was just me and another friend. The mango sticky rice was fine; mango wasn't too sweet as I like, but rice was good. Food portions are a lot which is good. I barely got through half of my turkey curry. Service was fine, nothing too out of the way or late. Overall, I'll come back again to try out the other food when I'm more hungry. read more

Tried this place during my lunch break. Food choices are great here. I've tried the Papaya Salad (level 10 spice) and the Panang Beef (level 8 spice). Both dishes were fantastic, full of flavor and very filling. The service was great and very responsive. Food was brought out much quicker than I anticipated for what the table ordered. Pricing is very fair for the quality and quantity you get. If you're looking for a nice clean place with phenomenal food and great service, give this place a try read more

Ok - so this is our evening/go-to Thai place - oh yeah and we always get it delivered... We'll have to try and make it to the restaurant one these days... The food is always consistently delicious!!! I don't think we've ever ordered anything we didn't completely devour. We love the: - garlic and black pepper chicken - spring rolls - green curry chicken - baton shrimp - Thai jerky strip steak - crispy egg rolls (Yeah, we order from here A LOT!!!) - Tom Yum Soup - basil fried rice Bottom line - you won't go wrong if you're in the mood for some Thai... read more

Ok this is SERIOUS!!!! COME HERE IMMEDIATELY!!!! I kid you not, this is by far the best Thai spot I've ever been to! Now, I will say it isn't "cheap" compared to other places but it obviously speaks for itself. The pineapple curry w chicken was fantastic. I seriously have never had better curry and it literally made me want more! I had to force myself to slow down from devouring it from how great it was! My gf got the pork ribs and oh god.... it was cooked to perfection! So much flavor and crispy just how I like it! She absolutely went nuts with my curry as well lol! The wontons were extremely delicious so I highly recommend ordering some before your meal!! You will NOT regret it one bit! Save some room for dessert because the fried bananas is one item you CANNOT miss out on! Truly amazing from start to finish. Quick to be seated, staff was very attentive and never left us asking for anything and price was reasonable for the quality of food we had. Will definitely be back to try different items off the menu. read more

Tom Kha Soup (spice level 5) was perfect. My husband says "que rico!" His Crab Fried Rice (spice level 6) was excellent, too. It really hit the spot. Service was excellent. They bus your table of empty dishes/glasses while you eat which I appreciate. I mean, they kept our table *clean*. And the prices are very agreeable. I'm adding this to my starred google maps locations. :) read more

Sip Saam Thai - Crab fried rice, and Tom kha soup. Delish. - Thai Near Me - Austin, Texas

Excellent flavor, lots of attention to detail in the dishes. Highly recommended! Service and atmosphere also very good.

Sip Saam Thai was a surprise in a good way. Never expected to find authentic good thai food in Austin but, this place is as close as it gets. We started off with the thai iced tea which was fantastic, not too sweet, not too strong but, a good quantity. Their dishes were all amazing, definitely get them spicy and let me warn you, they don't mess around with spice. We ranged from a 2 to 10 in spice and it was pretty spot on for levels. The service was quick and although we had to wait for a little to be seated, it was a good thing. The ambiance is cozy and definitely welcoming. read more

This Thai restaurant is truly a gem especially for Austinites that live within the surrounding area! When I moved to this side of town, I was sad that I couldn't find excellent Thai food similar in flavor to Titayas, especially when it came to curries and noodles :( but then I found Sip Sam Thai I eat here at least once every month. There's a great selection of dishes and so far everyone I've tried has been excellent in terms of quality and taste. The Tom Kha and Tom yum are comforting, and every single one of the curries on the menu slaps! The stir fry garlic and black pepper beef was the most recent dish I tried and it was very tender. 10/10 I would recommend this business to other people looking for good Thai. I really hope this business continues to be successful! Thank you for the great food, Sip Saam Thai! read more

I came here on Thursday evening with a 15-person group from work. The folks on the phone when I was making the reservation were super friendly and a large table awaited us when we arrived to the restaurant. There was one more party going on (a teenager's birthday party it seemed), but there was still plenty of available seating. The restaurant decorations were generally very subtle and Thailand- and South Asia-inspired, including a foot-tall figurine, which, I believe, represented the Thai King. Service was fast and friendly. The waitress, despite the large group (and, I'm sure repeated questions), took time to answer all questions and explain the menu. They have a 10-level spiciness scale for all dishes, which I found excessive. I wanted something mild, so I ordered a level 3 spicy, yet I didn't taste any of it. Next time, I'll probably go with something closer to 7 based on the comments from my colleagues. It was quite interesting also to see Thai iced tea served in huge mason jars. It was a bit too milky for my liking, but generally very on-point. We shared a number of appetizers and from the ones I tried, I liked the Baton Shrimp the best. Great flavor and excellent texture. I wasn't fan of the Thai Jerky Strips, which I found dry and bland. For my main course, I ordered a pork Pad See Ew. The dish I received was yummy, but I don't know if I would call it Pad See Ew. The noodles were thinner than typical Pad See Ew, there were no carrots, and there was too much soy sauce covering the meal. Overall, a great place for a quick bite with delicious fare. However, there may be some variations in the dishes to adapt them to the Texas-palate read more

I've ordered Take-Out here a dozen times. Every single time they proceed to staple my bag shut and refuse to add To-Go silverware or napkins. Terrible for Take-Out, mediocre to Dine-In. How after 6 years of being open have they not gotten that figured out yet? 0 / 5 If I could use that as an option. read more

This place knows how to do thai heat! Ambiance is okay, and I get the sense they're still operating with some pandemic mentality but I guess it's working out for them so that's all good. They do that best which says a lot to me but be prepared to do a little extra work to make sure you get what you want and what you like instead of just blind ordering off the menu. If you like duck, the duck Curry is great. The papaya salad is fantastic and I like it spicy so you should get it spicy if you like it spicy too. I would recommend going to the maximum spice level because that is crazy and honestly just getting into machismo more than it is to enjoying the food. If I recall correctly at 7 has been a very solid and very spicy level. They have very good shrimp batons and the curry Puffs are fantastic, so be sure to try both appetizers if you're not sure what to get. I've also gotten delivered from here before and they do pretty well there too, green curry is a favorite along with the other things I mentioned already. read more

I ordered shrimp pad Thai to-go from here. Although I didn't dine in, I thought the restaurant had a nice ambiance and the staff was nice. However, when I tried the dish at home, I was not impressed. The dish was ok, but it definitely didn't feel worth the $26 I paid ($19 for the dish plus tax and tip). If I went again, I'd try another entree. read more

Sip Saam Thai - Boat noodle - Thai Near Me - Austin, Texas

Okay, don't get me wrong. The food is decent. Not bad but not great. It's good for when you have that random Thai food cravings. I was in town for the weekend and was in dire need of something else besides Texas BBQ! haha Upon entering, we weren't really greeted right away but that's understandable. It was busy. Even after we sat, it took a good 20 mins just to place our order. And even after that, water wasn't brought out for quite awhile. And my Thai tea was forgotten until all my food had already been out. (Tom Kha 3/5) This was the first dish that came out. Even before our drinks! We orders the hot pot one so it came with a little stove. Cute. The soup itself wasn't as savory as I would like it. Needed more lemongrass and citrus. It was a good amount of spice. And the shrimp was cooked perfectly but that's about it. Usually this dish would be accompanied with rice, but we didn't get it until after all the other food had arrived. (Pork Ribs 4/5) This by far was the best dish for the evening. The ribs were perfectly seasoned and cooked well. It was nice and tender. The cooked onions went really well with it. My only complaint was that it was supposed to come out sizzling hot. Since it was on the sizzling plate. But it was not that. The ribs were like warm actually. Disappointing. (Drunken Noodles 3/5) It was okay. Just spicy but no flavor. The noodles weren't coated much. Quite dry. (Pork Larb 2/5) I had high hopes for this dish but it was horrible. The pork itself needed a umami. It was just spicy but lacked fish sauce. And they didn't really give us much lettuce to eat with it. It was a few pieces of lettuce and cucumbers. Not enough for the amount of Larb. Overall I would say food was just mediocre. Not bad. But not good. haha but yeah. Disappointed in the service too. It was nonexistent and when it came to closing time. They had asked us to pay out first. Our food was barely out. It took forever for them to take our orders and even longer to get everything, but still rushed out. Yeah so maybe avoid dinner rush and try to come here during lunch. Looks like they have some good lunch specials. read more

Great food: both for dining in and takeout! Strongly recommend this place for takeout if you reside in the area. Order online and come pick it up. Delicious noodle dishes and I love their curries! You can request a spicy level for your entree (between a three and a one if you're a wuss like me). Dining in at the restaurant is fun since I really enjoy their hot sake. Their selection of bottled sake is also worth noting. read more

But price but very delicious. Food are flavorful and delicious Thai tea. Service is hit or miss depending when and who. Overall the restaurant is pretty clean and bright. I would come back again and recommend this place. read more

Great upscale Thai restaurant located in a central plaza. I love the food here and environment- Definitely a fancier interior than you might find at a typical Thai restaurant. I dined in once pre-pandemic and now I'm getting takeout from here during the pandemic. Portions are ginormous, even for takeout! We had so many leftovers. The portions compensate for the price, which is on the higher end. I got the Pad See Ew and Pad Thai, which is very nutty and to my liking. The taste of the dishes is more sweet than savory, so if you like that this place is for you. I've also tried the Pineapple Fried Rice which is delicious and filled with spice. Presentation of the food is fantastic. For dine-in, food is garnished and served on giant plates. Even food in the takeout boxes looked better than your average to-go presentation. read more

Sip Saam Thai - Duck Curry - Thai Near Me - Austin, Texas

Food was tasty, but not a lot of veggies in my yellow curry. Very large portion, which was nice because on the picture, it said $12, but when I arrived, the price was $17 for chicken, $19 for shrimp or beef, and $20 for combination. It's a very nice restaurant, but the ambiance was being destroyed by a couple who was letting their 2 year old scream and shriek. I knew I was going to lose my temper if they didn't make him behave, so I asked the waiter if he would please ask the parents to keep the child quiet. He didn't hear me it was that loud, so finally I said loudly, "Can you make the parents shut the kid up? We both smiled and laughed, but he said no, he wished he could. Lol That's when I knew I had to say something so I go over to the mixed couple and speak to the mom, I've not felt well and been in bed all day only to come out for a nice meal. Will you please control your little boy? Well, then the muscle bound European father says belligerently, He's 2 years old, and you can't control him. I said yes, it's called discipline, and I wanted to say being a parent. He got really mad and kept shooing me away. He also said you tell him then, so I did! I got right at his eye level and said, "Little boy, it's time to be quieter now." Believe it or not, he was the rest of the night! Everyone around me was Thai so I knew they were too polite, but I wasn't intimidated by the big dude and just said my piece. And must say, the rest of the meal was quite enjoyable! Actually heard the music and was able to eat in peace. I believe if more parents were actually parents rather than try to be their children's friend, we would have a more civilized society with children who are more respectful and easy to be around. And this is why I prefer adults only cruises and all-inclusive resorts. No kids!:) read more

Finally a Thai restaurant in Austin that does a classic clear broth Tom yum noodle soup! I love this soup but most places just put noodles in Tom yum and it's not the same. Sip saam gets the savory and sour profile right - next time I'll just ask for some spice. Their pad see ew is also very flavorful compared to other Thai places in Austin. Super excited to have found our new Thai spot! read more

One of the best thai restaurants in North Austin. Sip Saam is conveniently located off Parmer/McNeil. It doesn't seem like much from the outside, but the interior is very modern. Definitely a spot I would come for date night. I have ordered here in person and online with exceptional service on both occasions. The food is fresh and tasty, and the iced tea was incredible. Our food also came out very quick, within 10 or 15 minutes of ordering. The only downside is that prices are on the high end for Asian cuisine. But I personally don't mind paying the price for quality food. Overall, definitely check out Sip Saam. I was pleasantly surprised with my experience here and will be coming again. read more

the food is really good but there is no wifi! I would stick around longer to have coffee and dessert if i could work on the WiFi.

We ordered our usual of Thai tea, pad see ew, Thai beef jerky, and Tom yum soup. The Thai tea is probably the best here but I didn't go for the tea. The pad see ew noodles were super weird, thin and chewy. I wasn't a fan of the "main event." The Tom yum soup was a bit bland and not the usual tang that I'm used to. The beef jerky were thick pieces but also lacked flavor. All in all, I was a little disappointed and probably rather go elsewhere. read more

This is literally my go-to Thai restaurant in north Austin hands down. Pad Thai always comes with peanuts, lime, and bean sprouts, and their tamarind sauce is the perfect balance of sweet, salty, and sour. They're rice noodles aren't super charred (slightly charred rice noodles are the best!) but you can tell that they are still very aggressively (in the best way possible) stir-fried. My other favorites are their basil fried rice (there is nothing quite like the fragrance of Thai basil), khao soi, and eggplant. My partner always gets the pad see ew and it's good too. I also love their papaya salad (although for some reason whenever I order it in the restaurant they always forget to give me the grilled shrimp??? Lol). A lot of the staff are Thai and they're always so friendly. We order from them at least once a month because they're so consistent - if you are looking for your Thai place in North Austin I would highly recommend trying them out! P.s. I would recommend not going over spice level 5 out of 10 lol read more

Sip Saam Thai - Pad see ew - Thai Near Me - Austin, Texas

Excellent food and atmosphere! Great for lunch as well. Would visit here frequently when we lived nearby.

I am so blown away by Sip Saam Thai. There is a new location of this fantastic Thai restaurant but we went on up W. Parmer Lane to the original. The decor is really nice... you could blend in wearing casual clothing or dress up and feel comfortable too. There ordering system is somewhat unique. They have an order sheet which contains all menu items, prices and an area for each item for you to put the spice level you desire for each dish. Mild, medium, hot???....Oh NO- their levels go from 1-10!!! You then use your device to scan into the version of the menu that had all the descriptions. Mark the paper order form and a waitstaff comes and retrieves it. It appears they data enter it and it generates a ticket in the kitchen. They are willing to answer any question too. Our waiter was very nice and took the time to explain their heat levels in response to my query. Service was a little slow getting our order but Sip Saam Thai is struggling and in need of waitstaff- like many other service based employers. Frankly, when I saw how many tables each of the wait staff had, the slight delay was totally understandable. It's a large restaurant and each of the 2 servers had an entire side. I believe the manager (?owner) was helping out too. They bring each table a generous bottle of ice cold water. We were able to fill our glasses several times which was nice. My dining partner loves Thai but is not in for exploring- so ordered the Traditional Pad Thai. She chose shrimp for her protein. I've heard of the dish "Drunken Noodles" but had never had it so I ordered it. I wanted some spice so got level 3. A unique spicy heat- slow burn in my mouth but addictive. I loved it! BTW- the lunch menu is available from 11-2 and comes with a delicious green, crisp, ice cold salad dressed with some savory, peanut-ginger dressing. There was also a little vegetable filled gyoza, pan fried and accompanied by dipping sauce. It's the kind of food that you could just sit and eat one after another. It was so savory, lightly crisp, and very delicious. Small bites indicative of the bowl of deliciousness that followed. My friend devoured every morsel of hers right then and there! I chose to eat with chopsticks which definitely slows me down- as did the heat. I took half mine to go so am looking forward to dinner! My friend who lives in Houston which is riddled with restaurants and culture on every corner as well as in between declared this the best Thai Food she has ever had. I will certainly return to work my way thru the menu. Can't wait! read more
