    The mussels were incredibly delicious! Peppery garlicky shrimp and curry soft shell crab were fantastic! I’ve traveled to Thailand, and this place has the best Thai food second to restaurants in Thailand. Looking forward to visiting again the future.

    The food is just not as good as it used to be. Olivia is one of the best servers I’ve met. The atmosphere is good. The slides of Thailand used to be beautiful. Now they have headless people preparing unknown food via videos. They’re moving in sept

    We have been to this restaurant many, many times over the last 8 years or so. It has really gone downhill over the last 2 years. Service is always chaotic, and they seem not to be able to keep servers. Tonight we waited over 25 minutes for someone to come to the table and another 10 minutes or so to order a drink. The food was always just Ok and is actually pretty expensive for Thai. Last night it was decidely not good.

I had curry duck, wonderful and I snitched some basil chicken and pad Thai and both were really terrific. Spice level perf…I am addicted to Thai food and live in Denver, but this joint here in Uptown is quite delish and a good value.

    Wow - I’ve never had worst service like Sukho… Not sure if they were understaffed or if it was because 3 out of 4 of us at the table were Black. Our waitress kept doing a disappearing act and the food took well over 1 hour to arrive which was mind boggling given there was probably 10 parties maximum at that time. I wish i could say this was likely an isolated incident but unfortunately my friends and I were eating a week later across the street at Nomiya, who doesn’t serve alcohol. We went across to Sukho to grab some drinks to go and we sat at the (empty) bar for 20 minutes while the bartender just talked about her own makeup to us and never took our orders so we left. Gotta do better, Sukho, seriously.

    I love spicy food. I asked for level five on my dish. The heat was intense but not so much that it overwhelmed the flavor. It was exactly what I was after. The service was excellent.

    Atmosphere was nice, and the service was okay. While the waitress was greeting us another waitress came over and right in front of us stated that the table was taken. This was after we were seated. Very unprofessional, she did later apologize. Food was okay, have had much more flavorful food at Sawasdee in Mandeville.

    Arrived at 6, was served waters and drink choices quickly. Had to flag our server down more than 30 minutes later to place our orders. Noticed a lot of delivery drivers backed up waiting for orders. Food arrive after another 30 or so minutes and the chicken entree was made with shrimp which my guest could not eat. The rest of us ate very quickly so as to leave so she could get some food. Under staffed or under trained for the level of business for a Sunday evening.

    So I love the Tom kha. I order it nearly every time. Why do I have to send it back to be reheated every time? Die the flame go off on the stove or dies the server let it sit in the window? Seems like an easy problem to fix. The pineapple fried rice with crispy tofu was excellent. It was not too greasy, salty, or spicy. The pineapple had a crunch and the tofu was a definite improvement over the white flavorless squares. Will order this dish again!

    This is the second time we’ve come here and have had a great experience both times. I had the drunken noodles and my husband had the Pad Kee Mao. My daughter had some beef meatball soup although I can’t remember the name. Everything was delicious and Service was fantastic. (Michelle was our server, end it was both fun and attentive.). Really nice cocktail menu and beer selection. Definitely coming back!

    It was a nice experience save for the broken front door that would close unless someone closed it. When a patron (entering or exiting) did close it the front of the room would start getting warm so I got up to close it a few times since the restaurant seemed short staffed.

    We so enjoyed our night at SukhiThai, from drinks to dessert. However, timing seemed to be off as there was a long wait for drinks and appetizers, them mains were served five minutes later. Except for the Panko Soft Shell Crab, everything tasted fresh and spicy, which is what I expect with Thai food. The soft shell crab seemed rapidly thawed and fried, there was a problem with excessive moisture. Overall, a nice evening out, although some type of baffling underneath tables for sound could help.

    How can a bartender make all the drinks for the restaurant plus take orders for food plus pick up food and serve it, as well as assisting with to-go orders ? No one could do all this well. When I asked a server to take my food order, she said she’s not allowed to handle someone else’s customer. Assume you all pool tips. So that was disappointing. I was thrilled to watch Saints game BUT tofu strips were actually large partially cooked triangles of soft tofu.
