SukhoThai

Came with with my work for a team lunch. The food was amazing although took a while to come out. Our server Nat, however could not have been more miserable. She looked absolutely pissed off with us the entire experience, eye rolls included. She didn’t know which plates were spicy/not spicy and just overall was unpleasant. I don’t know if she was having a bad day but she really ruined the experience for us all. I also called when I booked as well as to confirm our reso and to confirm we would have two bills and she refused to do it for us at the end even though we explained this. Which is because they demand 20% tip over 6 people vs 15% tip with less then. I guess she felt she could act awful because her tip was already automatic. Overall the food is awesome and they need some new servers asap. Based on reading the below reviews this happens a lot.

Located near Berczy Park, Sukhothai is a Thai restaurant with delicious food, and service that can be hit or miss. The layout supports a moderate dinner service with a dedicated takeout and pickup zone in the centre, and the overall ambiance is clean. Note, this location sits on the second floor, which is not accessible-friendly for customers with mobility needs. The menu was fairly straightforward, except for dessert, which you would need to ask the staff about. The value was a tad let down with the volume to price, but it is expected for this area. During our visit, we ordered calamari, Tom Yung Kung (meal with rice) and the Ganeng Panang. The Tom Yung Kung was tasty, had a spicy base profile and rice. The Ganeng Panang was well-seasoned and presented in a boat plate and rice on the side. The calamari was well seasoned and paired nicely with sauces designed for dipping. In terms of service and building logistics, the initial impression was mixed. The staff appeared to be split into defined roles, but our experience suggested room for improvement in attentiveness and efficiency during busier periods. An older female staff member came across as unfriendly and did not want to help our group during the dining experience, which contrasted with other team members who seemed more service-focused. Booking ahead for a group of nine was challenging over the phone, with the impression that staff preferred not to consolidate smaller tables into a larger seating arrangement or trust that the group was coming at all. The restaurant also imposes automatic gratuities for groups, ranging from 15% for 6–9 diners to 20% for 10 or more, and the policy is listed on the menu cover rather than clearly explained by staff. Payment options include debit and credit; cash is not accepted.

If you are looking for exceptional Thai food in Downtown, Sukho Thai is the place to be. The Gaeng Panamg was incredibly flavorful, and the beef simply melted in our mouths. We also tried the Green Curry, which was absolutely delicious. To balance the meal, we had the Mango Salad- it was perfectly crunchy with an expert balance of sweet and sour notes. To top it off, the vibrant and pleasant ambiance makes the whole dining experience fantastic. Highly recommend.

Good Thai food that hits the spot, but I found that their portions have gotten smaller. Came here for lunch on a Friday at 12pm and a 7:30pm dinner on a Monday evening and both weren't too busy. I ordered the pad thai in both cases and it was good, but I feel like they cut their portions in half compared to back then. Would recommend if you're craving Thai and would come back.

The Khao Soi was honestly average — not bad, but not something I’d go back for. On the other hand, the Pad Kee Mao was amazing. Super flavourful, well-balanced, and easily the standout dish of the meal. The ambience is definitely a plus. The space feels warm, lively, and perfect for a casual dine-in experience or a relaxed catch-up. However, the service could use some improvement. There was quite a bit of waiting at the table, which took away from the overall experience, especially when the place wasn’t overly packed.
