    Inside. Aesthetically pleasing but everything else was eh.
    Mellanie A.

    My friend and I randomly decided to try Spicy Sugar Thai a while back and here's my verdict: The ambiance of the place was cute but tiny. A huge con was that they don't offer any restrooms which is inconvenient if you want to wash your hands prior to your meal. The service was also below average; the girls working there seemed unenthusiastic to be there and I felt like the overall service was slow. The food was honestly mid as well. The only thing I could say was good was their crab wonton appetizer but that's really about it. I ordered their Tom Yum soup with chicken and it left a lot to be desired. The broth was too sweet for me and the chicken was a bit rubbery. Overall, I wouldn't be back as there's a handful of local Thai restaurants with better quality of food and service.

    First time and and will definitely be back to try the other dishes in the menu. Food: food was amazing!! I highly recommend the Long Beach pad gai if you don't want a heavy pad Thai, flavor is there and is very delicious. Love the curry hot dog, something different and tasteful. Service: was AWESOME!! It was a full house and the two girls were running the place smoothly and were attentive with the guest. Ambiance: very cute and culturally.

    This is such a great late night Thai option in Long Beach. This time I stopped in for a quick late night meal and got the duck spring rolls. These are new to me and are now on the rotation for a usual order. They're fresh, flavorful, and a perfect way to start the meal. From most of what I've tried here, it's hard to go wrong!

    I had a late night study session wanted something to eat that was not heavy so I tried the crispy duck rolls and they were incredibly delicious. The lettuce was fresh, the vegetables were fresh as well. The crispy duck was succulent delicacy tasty and the sauce was spicy and good. Enjoyed this meal

    Absolutely incredible. Can't believe it took me this long to find this place! I've had the cream cheese crab wontons, pad gai, Mongolian beef, and they were all wonderful. And delicious Thai iced tea! Dined outside and enjoyed people watching.

    This is used to be our favorite place until Today I went to eat with my sisters after I didn't go for a while , we decided to order Tum lao ruam, Crying Tiger and Pork nam tok. The taste of food are different from previous, Tum Lao Raum is very sour and Pork Nam Tok is very very salty. More than that when we ask for the check I review the check and we found out that the price doesn't match with the menu for Tum Lao Raum on the menu is $20 and Pork Nam Tok is $16. But on the bill the price are $25 and $18 for both items. I felt this is not right. I asked the server she just said probably the price is raised up but she can't do anything, on my side you should tell the customer that the price is changed not just let them order and scam their money. At least you should show the reaction to help the customer to resolve the problem. Anyway by the picture Tum Lao Raum, it supposed to come with clam but today it came with only 3 mussels.

    I'm always up for some good Thai food. Found this place on Yelp as well as a referral from someone's who's been. It's not a big place and there's street parking. The ladies working were all very sweet and friendly. The menu does have a good amount of Thai dishes as well as a few others dishes. Dipping sauce and the wonton chips were brought out while we were looking through the menu. Started off with the pork skewers which were quite good. Three sticks with dipping sauce. The meat was tender and cooked well. Also had the papaya salad Laos style. That ended up coming after the other dishes which usually it's served before. Also had the panang curry which they already added the side of rice too. And the ramen in a tom yum soup, which I've never had that version. Had it with pho rice noodles before but never ramen. It was quite tasty and the seafood portion was quite nice. Overall, staff were very friendly and sweet. Food was good but heads up with the spice level. We ordered medium for the papaya salad but it was way hotter than that. Still good but when your mouth is burning it's a different taste. I love spicy, but it was spicy. Only downside, there was no restroom available. A few people had asked about it, which they declined on. They should at least have another options for the customer. Offer them the restroom at the bars 2 foods down if needed.

    Vegetable Thai Fried Rice
    Angie B.

    Came here with a friend the other day. We ordered chicken pad thai, chicken pad see ew and vegetable Thai fried rice for entrees. Then got a side of panang curry sauce. All dishes were good, especially the fried rice. They give you a complimentary wonton crisp snack. The staff was all super friendly. One thing I will say is that the soda price is super aggressive at $5 for a can, not even a refillable soda. Restaurant had good amount of seating. Parking is street parking.

    If you like authentic Thai food, this is the place you need to check out. Small hidden gem restaurant along Broadway street in Long Beach. Parking can be challenging to find in the neighborhood streets, but we got lucky finding one upon arrival right in front. Very compact restaurant, but service and food were amazing worth to dine in. I had ordered the Long Beach Pad Gai which is a lighter version of Pad See Ew without Chinese broccoli. Very tasty packed with good flavors. It was topped with bean sprouts and dried garlic, which I had never tried before in this dish. There were other great options on the menu, but already stuffed with the generous portion given. Therefore, didn't try anything else except we were also served some crunchy wontons with three sauces. Nice starter for your meal. I would revisit to try out the other dishes.

    I came to Spicy Sugar last night with my partner when we were in the Long Beach area. I'm so glad we decided to stop here! As soon as we walked in, we were greeted with smiles and told to pick whichever seat we want. The server very promptly brought out water and these amazing, little wonton crisps with three choices of sauces. The green spicy sauce was my favorite to dip the crisps in. For starters, we ordered the green curry dumplings and the duck spring rolls. The dumplings came with veggies on top and a green curry sauce. The sauce on the dumplings was to die for. The duck spring rolls were light and tasty; and the sauce to dip the rolls in was delicious as well. For our main, we ordered the panang curry with chicken. I really enjoyed the flavor of this dish and how it had pumpkin in it. Their portions are generous for a dish, so I was both full and satisfied by the end of the meal. The service here was wonderful. Every server was so friendly and hospitable. The servers stayed on top of their game, throughout the entirety of our meal, from refilling our water to making sure we had to-go boxes, I loved everything about the interior design of spicy sugar. The picture of the girl on the wall was pretty, as well as the plants, the elephant decorations and the artsy display of garlic on the wall. I'm excited to come back and try their pad kee mao, duck larb, the Thai curry dog and their mango and sticky rice. All their dishes looked so yummy. You should definitely check out Spicy Sugar for some excellent Thai food!

    Food was absolutely delicious!! Tastes like it was made with love from kitchen that knows what it is doing. The service was absolutely amazing. Very friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The atmosphere created is so homey and the food does not disappoint. One of the best local Thai places in this area!

    Does this place open for lunch? I bought a groupon and I can never get a hold of anyone, or is it strictly open during dinner hours?

    Yes they are open. They are usualy short on staff so if you are short on time it might not be the place.

One of the highlights is their Thai tea, which is served with a popsicle and seems to be one of their most popular items for good reason. It's fun, unique, and absolutely delicious.

Another unexpected favorite was the wings. I'm usually not a big wings person, but these were surprisingly good--crispy, flavorful, and definitely worth ordering.

Kin was one of the only restaurants open until 10 PM. We were seated right away, and somehow the five of us sat in a private room. It was kind of late for me to eat anything really heavy so I just have my usual salad and it was the beef tenderloin salad. They serve it up with a lot of beef and less veggies. The beef itself was a little chewy and in large pieces. I prefer the meat to be cut a little smaller and would like more lettuce and cucumber. I got a little taste of the spicy fried rice, which was really good. Some of us ordered Thai tea and didn't expect what we received, which was the tea with a Thai tea popsicle. What a treat! The Thai tea itself was pretty standard, but that popsicle was like the icing on a cake. The places, modern and clean. Staff is helpful and nice. Parking is their own lot but can be difficult to get a spot on a busy day or night.

Our group of 3 walked in on a Friday afternoon and were seated immediately, despite the space being brimming with customers. The staff were welcoming and courteous. Interior is homey, had elements of street shop decor (peep the corrugated metal wall) that gave a rustic, industrial vibe :3 There were so many dishes we wanted to try, we opted to just split everything family-style. THAI ICED GREEN TEA: Just the right blend of tea and cream, and not too sweet! So rich and refreshing. FRESH OYSTERS THAI STREET STYLE: Spicy...! Has a kick. Went well with the fried onion topping. PAPAYA SALAD (Laos style): First time trying Laos style! The fermented seafood on top was FANTASTIC. Crisp brininess paired with the fresh papaya was beyond flavorful. I'm typically not a huge fan of crab but the salad dressing infused into the meat won me over. PAD KRA PROW (w/mock chicken): Standard stir-fried veggie/"meat" dish. We just wanted to try the mock chicken-- was a glutinous tofu-like protein, like the kind you get at Buddhist temple lunches. I mentioned to our waitress that it was my friend's birthday, and they graciously brought out a complimentary dish of ice cream with a candle to celebrate...! Very sweet gesture and the ice cream was delicious ;_;

Some places cannot get their broth right which does make a major difference. Sometimes it ends up being too watery and defected the purpose. Here, the broth is perfect. Also any of their curries is excellent. This time we went with the massaman curries. Nice thick broth with peanuts, potatoes, onion and carrots in a coconut sauce. Another flavorful dish. And of course we always get the papaya salad Thai style with shrimp and peanut. There also the Laos style with fermented fish sauce and salty crab. It's quite nice too but it could be too strong of a taste for some people. The food has always been excellent. Service was always excellent with friendly staff. They're always so welcoming and attentive to their customers. A must for me whenever I'm down in Long Beach. Parking can be tricky as it's all street parking.

I will say that service can be very inconsistent.

I'm not saying that check-ins throughout the meal are required, but they would be nice gestures. Also having to wait around to contact a server just to pay can be a bit inconvenient... The ambiance is nice, it has modern decorations and there's a good amount of interior seating. I will add that it's mostly street parking in the front but they have a small parking lot in the back, including a rear entrance. Overall, good food, 50/50 service, still would come back.

The only request from anybody was for Pad Thai, the most common dish at all Thai restaurants. I GPS my way over and order the food. I was Khao Soy on the menu and I don't see that at too many Thai places that I've been to, so I got an order of that with chicken. Of course, an order of Pad Thai, 2 orders since I have 5 hungry people to feed. Also, I ordered the Thai coconut soup, I think it's called Tom Kha with chicken. One more noodles dish was the Drunken Noodles, it's kinda like Chinese Chow Fun, but has a more spicy flavor and basil in it. The food was all pack and bagged for me to take back to the hotel.

Off the bat, the portion sizes for the tom yum and pad thai were VERY generous (from my experiences with Thai restaurants). The pad thai stood out and was absolutely delicious! The service did great with helping us out and attending to our requests. The ambiance was relaxed, and where we sat in the back was cool because there was upbeat music playing loud enough to muffle the surrounding sounds but still soft enough to have conversation at our table without needing to raise our voice. Overall, I'm glad I gave S T Noodle Bar a try! I'd recommend it!
