Nice people but the food was a huge disappointment. Flavorless and didn't taste like the Thai food I'm used to eating. Can't believe they didn't have fish sauce on the side or lime. I couldn't finished my food and felt sick afterwards. read more

Love going to Sukoon Thai & go often. I like the duck and my wife is a vegetarian and there are many options for her. I also like the that they are a BYOB place which makes dinner a bit less expensive. Service is good and friendly and atmosphere is ok. read more

Me and my family love eating here! Service is decent to good, the food is DELICIOUS, I always get the pad Thai, and while I admit they could play music or spruce the place up a bit, the ambiance of the restaurant is very homey feeling and well looked after. 5 stars! read more

Placed order online, quoted 25-35 minutes until ready, ended up being just under 1.5 hours and almost nobody in the place. 2 dishes were wrong(this was placed online so clearly not a communication error). Ended up giving the dumplings to the dog as they were inedible. Have been probably 5-6 times in the last several months, but likely won't be back. read more

Stopped in for dinner before a movie. I had my go to dim sum and Phanaeng curry. They didn't ask my spicy level, which is ok since I love hot foods. The dim sum was tasty, but the curry was rocking. I could have eaten ten bowls. I highly recommend a visit. read more

Burnt and dried out chicken pad thai... literally burnt and dried to leather. Also the spring rolls, without meat, had shrimp and pork... seriously for like $25 this is garbage. If it was closer I'd have brought it back. read more

I have been a customer here for years.....back when Tiny Thai was there, then Suhkho Thai owned by "Ahn" not sure if that's how she spells her name. After it was sold I continued as a patron. I love spicy Thai food. Most of the time very good service. A few times in recent years, young servers that are not quite as personable and a bit too much cell phone usage. Having stated that I am happy with their food. Definitely eat in as food to go is just not as appetizing or flavorful. The newest owner (maybe 6 years now?) and his wife are very personable and friendly. read more

Stopped in for lunch today. Delicious! Had the ginger stir fry and asked for it spicy. It was excellent. Very clean, nice music, welcoming feeling. Service was very good and staff were friendly. I would recommend this for anyone looking for really good Thai food. Will definitely return. read more

Ordered takeout. Drove 30 minutes to pick it up. They gave me 1/2 the order and I had to return to get the other 1/2. No discount, no compensation. Just under 2 hours on the road left me hangry and disappointed. Food was so-so. Had Choo Chee Duck, I now understand why duck was the fourth ingredient listed as it was two pieces. Massaman was OK. Spring rolls were OK too. Thai Style Pho noodles tasted fermented. The best part of my experience is that I can cross Sukho off the list when choosing a restaurant. read more

It's not the best Thai I ever had, but I found it pleasingly representative of what I know of the food genre. The owner was nice and our food seemed made to order. I would definitely eat here again if I were back in the area. read more

I love this place! I recently went with my family and got the Pad Thai, which was quite delicious. The vibe is laid back, and the food is authentic Thai. One of the things I really like about this place is that at the front of the menu there is a message from the owner, and it explains a little bit about thai culture and how Thai dishes are usually eaten. The note encourages you to eat however you are comfortable, but I appreciated the little cultural lesson! In case you don't know, Thai food is generally VERY spicy. Since this authentic, expect a lot of great and spicy food. If you don't generally do well with spicy dishes, be sure to let them know so they can Americanize it for you. I really like the drinks that this place serves. They do not have them listed, so make sure you ask. they bring ice water to the table for everyone regardless of what else you order. The Thai Tea is a great drink- just prepare for the high amount of caffeine and sugary sweetness. Another great drink they serve is Ginger Tea over ice. It is also very sharp ginger so prepare for that to be spicy as well. I believe they also have a ginger lemonade, my family members love that! read more

I'm from MA , up here for work for the week. This is the best Tom yum soup I have ever had! Wish I found this place Monday because I would have eaten here every day! Owner is so kind. He doesn't open till 3 ( which I didn't know when I called to order soup) he said no problem!! read more

Don't let the look of the place fool ya! The food is soooooooo good. It's basically a takeout place but you can also eat there (which is what we did and we brought our own wine). Everything was fresh and tasty and seasoned perfectly. I live in New York and am often skeptical about dining out in Vermont, but this place is legit. Highly recommend! read more

Is it the best Thai food ever? No. Do I crave it all the time? Pretty much. Is the price right on? You bet. So here's my update (and upgrade of stars): It has become our go-to place on nights I really really really don't feel like cooking. (let's be honest here: ever night is a night I don't feel like cooking.) My husband's crave here is the Tom Kha soup with shrimp ($5). The broth is simply amazing -- love that tender tang of lemongrass and lime against the creamy sweet goodness of coconut milk, topped by the freshest hint of cilantro, mmmm... But sometimes the shrimp could be tastier (I know: we're incland. It's hard.) I prefer the Tom Yum soup sometimes, especially when I have a cold -- it is a flavorful hot-and-sour-and-slighltly-spicy Thai soup, all complex and lovely. And I always get the Som Tum, the Green Papaya Salad. For the uninitiated, don't be alarmed by the papaya part. In fact, forget that I ever mentioned the papaya -- it doesn't taste like papaya as you've had it before (which is delicious). I can't describe it accurately, but if you love Thai flavors and the way they mix and balance and playoff one another, try it. It's only 5 bucks or so, and absolutely worth it. And I love that they put green beans on it. Never had it that way before, but it adds a nice freshness to the mix. (Note to management: I still want more peanuts on this.) I've tried a few things here, including the Ba Mee -- thin ramen-like noodles in a lovely duck broth with Chinese-style BBQ pork (sweet), bean sprouts, cilantro (a deal at 10$) Our favorite waiter, Patrick, says the best dishes are the green curry and the ChooChee Duck ($13). I love love love duck, and the Choo Chee involves a sweet, spicy, creamy curry around roasted duck (flavorful dark meat), tender bell peppers, pineapple, and huge-for-cherry tomatoes. This is the first dish I ever had of Thai cuisine (like, back in college, in the 90s), and it made me fall in love with Thai food from head to toe. Sukho's is a very nice production of this lovely, exotic dish. I have also tried the green curry here, and it is splendid -- especially if you love coconut milk. I find the spice level just right, and the broth feels rich but not heavy, complex but not muddled. (I've tried a few other dishes, some of which I found a wee bit salty, but none of them were terrible.) I also love the regular fried rice and the spring rolls. And the Thai custard (cold) with sticky purple rice (warm) is one of the most amazind desserts I've ever tried -- not too sweet, but subtle in its flavor and in its contrass of temperature and textures and flavors. That's what I love about Thai food: the careful balancing of contrasts. Sweet and salty, savory and sour, crunchy and smooth, freshly green and deeply rich. And Sukho Thai does its best to make that balance shine. read more

I'm glad great thai food has finally come to the Burlington area. I live in a thai neighborhood in NYC, but spend a decent amount of time every month in Burlington, and Thai was always a giant missing spot in Burlington's options. My girlfriend and I would endure Tiny Thai once every 3 months when we were really craving thai food, but usually would just eat somethin else. Now we drive 20 minutes for Sukho Thai - it's the real deal. They'll make it spicy if you crave it, and all the flavors are right. Their Larb is fantastic, perfectly flavored with the right citrus and right heat. Their Massaman is also delicious, the flavors all come together perfectly with the creamy coconut milk and depth of spices. Their pad ka prao is good, they'll make it both normal and ground meat (though you'll have to ask about ground, it's not on the menu). The ground meat really knocks your socks off. Their Pad Ki Mao is delicious, just the right amount of tamarind sweetness to go along with the heat - noodles are perfectly cooked. All the other burlington thai options are typical americanized thai restaurants, watered down flavors and emphasis on things that thai people themselves don't really focus on. Sukho Thai really hits home with authentic flavors, bringing a new level of thai food to burlington. I highly recommend this to people who are craving authentic thai food. read more

Sukho Thai is clean, well decorated, and the service is attentive and pleasant. Nothing terribly objectionable about the food here and I'll likely go back. (Likely to get the fried rice). The Dim Sum appetizer was reasonably good, if a bit bland and I appreciated how it was presented with cute garnishes. The Pad Thai looked good visually, for my personal preference it was too sweet and peanuty, plus didn't have enough vegetables, tamarind flavor, fish flavor, or acidity for my taste. read more

When it comes to Sukho Thai, I feel like I've missed something. I see other Yelp reviewers singing high praises to the food gods, that this is, without a doubt, a great place. Personally, I don't get it. Especially, after placing my order of two entrees and an appetizer platter (in-person & to go) and it being ready in 7 minutes! The food was mediocre quality, stretched too far, and under seasoned beef and chicken. Beware your sodium's gonna fly! The food is so salty it was probably used in WW2 to treat flesh wounds. Furthermore, the bland anemic gray sliced beef in my basil fried rice had a slight taint of shrimp flavor and was dry as the mohave. I am pretty sure the sliced beef is double purposed as hockey pucks for the Montreal Canadiens when they get low. Not looking for chicken or beef? They have many other proteins available such as tofu, pork, and shrimp. Unfortunately, it all looks and tastes the (dry) same. As I can verify this, where I had the beef, chicken, and tofu. So, unless the arch moisture angel comes down from the heavens and touches the pork and shrimp dishes, I can pretty much guarantee they follow suit. Also, it will be heated and reheated, fried and refried, and then sitting in a warming area or heat lamp longer than that lizard you had in the 7th grade. Everything in the appetizer platter had that identical old deep fried taste with the exception of the teeny weeny chicken skewers, which were typical and ok. With absolute customer desolation in the dining room, the high school girl at the counter was eager to take my order, and the food runner was quick to boomerang my chow straight back out of the kitchen. To be honest, after a few bites we threw all of it in the bin. Look, though tasteless and old, the food is edible, the place was clean, and the staff were attentive. Like I said before, some people really like it. Myself, I wouldn't recommend this place to a raccoon at last call. I try to be an optimist, and will just stay with a neutral rating in case I got food there on an off-night. Good luck read more

The spring rolls were okay but the pad see uw was easily the worst I've ever had. Other than the noodles it was not authentic. It had large chunks of undercooked vegetables with perhaps just basic soy sauce for sauce. I do not plan on returning unless I'm with a group of friends who decide to come here. read more

Look, I used to live in NYC...and yeah, I've experienced some seriously legit Thai food outside of Thailand. Specifically in Jackson Heights...so I was not expecting anything special here. Thanks to the pandemic we've moved into this quiet little (boring?) town and the only Asian restaurant nearby is this one. Was it good? I guess. The green curry was flavorful with plenty of fresh vegetables. My wife's stir fry was tasty as well. Tom Kha soup was nice, even though the chicken slices were dry and bland. All in all, I can live with this...until I get back to Queens. read more

I always love going to Sukho Thai. Ever since my best friend introduced me to this I have never looked back. Went in for lunch today and got the Thai spring rolls along with the chicken krapow spiced at the Thai level. It never disappoints! My sister got the Sukho Thai Fried Rice and my best friend got the Thai curry with white rice. The service is always great, friendly and I couldn't ask for a better Thai restaurant. If you are in the Essex area, just don't think twice, just go in! You will not be disappointed. read more

What a gem! Truly the best Tofu Pad Thai I have ever had!. The tofu was crispy and the noodles were home made with just the right amount of seasoning. I am from Southern NH and have tastes many look a likes. This is the real thing! read more

Wow! Pad Thai was great, not too sweet like some. The Gai Satay was wonderful. Tom Yum Shrimp was a new experience and it was a nice blend of flavors. Also had the Kara Pow stir fry and that was also very good. It's so nice to have a Thai restaurant in Essex that I want to go back to for take out. read more

This was the first and probably the last time that we eat here. Tried it last night and ordered thai rolls, that came with burnt ends. The chicken pad thai tasted that it had sat under a heat lamp all day. And the chicken pra ram tasted very bland with spinach in it that made the taste all wrong. Who knows it may have been an off night, but it put a bad taste in our mouths. We will continue to make the trip to another Thai restaurant that we love. read more

Although it is a bit of a hike for me to get to, at times I find myself looking for any excuse to head out to Essex just so I can have lunch or dinner at Sukho. Between the tasty dishes, large portions, friendly waitstaff, and a very reasonable price point, it's no wonder I frequent this place as much as I do. While I have settled on a few go-to dishes (their Spicy Cashew Chicken is something else!), they often have great dinner specials that I will explore once in a while. It's a fairly relaxed setting with lots of "for two" tables, so it's a good date spot, but it can also accommodate larger groups as well. Great for any occasion. And with their generous portions, you'll have lunch for tomorrow. Can't beat that. read more

I really had high hopes for this location. I don't think I set the bar to high...I mean only as high as Tiny Thai! Now I am not 100% sure why the name had been changed. They seem to have a lot of the same staff from Tiny Thai here. Yet something has changed and I'm sad to report...For the worst? Yes folks I said it! For the worst! (Damn it makes me a sad panda to have to write this review!) Where do I begin? Oh yes! When I first walked in the door. The service here took ages! I don't mean for just being sat I mean for EVERYTHING! I have been here a few times now and most of the times they took a good 20 minutes before they even came over to get our drink orders. This is a huge issue with me. One of the FEW things that I rate a wait staff person on is when I get my drinks. Considering that is really the only thing that they have full control over them self. So needless to say I was not impressed here with that. The food also took a long long while to come out. The restaurant it self isn't all that big. So I am still clueless as to why this happens. Another minus in my book. Don't even get me started on the check.... If you come here and you need a quick dinner..Oh I don't know maybe your going to see a movie? You may wanna look else where. The food on the other hand is pretty good. I have tried 2-3 dishes and I liked 2 of the 3! As for apps we did try the crab rangoon and the veggie rolls. Great starters. One night we even tried the fried ice cream and that was ok. I have had better. Then again we don't go to a Thai place for it's awesome dessert menu! I know! Now on to some of the good things about Sukho Thai..They have a TON of parking! So this should never be an issue for you. Plus its within walking distance of the Essex Cinemas! (So you would think they would have their games faces on for dinner?). They also have a "Bring your own drink" policy...AKA Bring your own alcohol to dinner! Something they kept from Tiny Thai. Other than that its pretty simple. The service was deathly slow on all 3 trips sadly. The food on the other hand was pretty good. At this point I wish they would have kept Tiny Thai! Wishful thinking I guess gets the best of me! read more

They are not open Sunday, Monday or Tuesday. Food is good, I think in the past year or so they have new owners and I noticed the recipes are slighty different. They used to make my favorite drunkem noodles but they do not taste the same anymore read more

Every time I come to this place it is always packed. The food here is probably the best Thai food in the Chittenden area. You can also bring your own beverages!! Last time I went with my girlfriend, we had the pineapple fried rice, pad si ew, thai tea, and fried banana dessert. The portions are a good size so we ended up taking some of both our entrees home! This is a great place to eat after a day of shopping or watching a movie at the theater. read more

On the front of the menu it reads: It may surprise you to know that Thai people eat their food with a fork in their left hand and a spoon in their right. The main courses are set in front of and shared by all. Everybody spoons what they would like onto their own plate of rice. Noodle dishes are often eaten with chopsticks and in street stalls among friends or coworkers... I really wish I went with friends to enjoy Thai properly family style, so I'll give it another shot - but my visit wasn't spectacular. It wasn't bad either. It was okay across the board. Atmosphere, Service, Food, Flavor, Quality, and Value. Solid B. If you're in Essex and outlet shopping, this spot can't be beat - but I won't call it a destination yet, but who knows? When trying a new Thai place - I ALWAYS judge on the Tom Kha. For you laypeople that's coconut soup with lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime leaves and sometimes mushrooms. It was good... Not the best. The Pad Thai was presented well and the portion was very good. All in all, I had modest expectations for a Thai place in the Essex Outlets. I was not disappointed. Go next time you're in town blowing your Canadian Dollars. read more

I worship this place. Whenever I would fly back home for work/school, my fiance and I would always stop by for our "last meal" before he dropped me off at the airport. Love their thai ice tea - I was not a believer at first but after 2-3 tries, you cannot get enough of it. The chicken krapow is fantastic and super spicey; you have been warned of the delicious blow to your mouth. Finally, for dessert the purple sticky rice with custard is beyond words. Price is good for the amount you get and the guy that is always there to serve - love him. Great server. read more

Had dinner here last night with the family and was surprised to see the change as well from TinyThai as this has been one of my favourite places when visiting Burlington! Menu has not changed to my inspection at all and the food seemed to pack the same amazing flavour. One thing I noticed is that tonight there seemed to be 4 servers when it was Tiny Thai there was only usually 2! This appeared like a beter idea as it would offer better service! We ordered a Som Tam to start then the Pad Prik and and Pad Kee Mao. My wife said it was very salty as she was very thirsty for quite some time after! I didn't notice it as much! Still very good value for the price and I love the fact that you can bring your own beer or wine here! I thought the Pad Kee Mao ( Drunken noodles) were read more

This restaurant is a staple of my Vermont dining out experience.... It's not the best Thai restaurant but certainly the best in the area. The food is well-balanced, and for some reason I think I'm addicted to it. The waitstaff knows us and treats us well. The service here is awesome no matter who you get, and the food comes out very very quickly. Sadly we always find ourselves eating our favorites whenever I go here with my boyfriend and it hasn't give us a chance to try everything on the menu. But everything I've had I've really liked (and I'm craving the Ba Mee right now. But I don't want to drive to Essex) Plus every time I've been here the restaurant has been very clean and quiet enough to have a conversation. read more

Average Thai food experience. Food seemed bland and not as spicy as other Thai meals I've had elsewhere. I had to change my non alcoholic drink order about 4 times because they were out of the items but didn't realize it until they went to the kitchen. Prices were comparable to other places in the area. They offer more convenient hours and more parking options than some of the places in Burlington. read more

Thai is a great break from a long day of being on your feet. We weren't asking for much, and that's what we got. It's a simple place with the basic menu items. The spring rolls were a bit greasier than I'd hoped, but the entrees were well executed even if they weren't creatively inspired. I wouldn't drive out of my way to go, but I'd go again next time we're at the Essex Shoppes. read more
