    Lychee Martini and Chicken Pad Thai
    Aanchal B.

    While a group of us were in town from Chicago, we needed a break from local food and this place did not disappoint! 6 of us all have different spice levels too so it was nice when the waiter asked us individually a number between 1-5 and described them too. I have the lowest spice tolerance so I said mild/1 and it was spot on. Lychee martini had the right amount of sweetness. The chicken pad thai is a classic dish which was authentic and fresh. We were flying back early next morning so I gave my leftovers to a homeless person to give back.

    I was really shocked at how great this Thai food was. I didn't see much Thai food or Asian cuisine in the area so I didn't know what to expect. The service was great, our server was very kind. I got the panang curry four star and it lived up to my spice expectations. I would definitely recommend this place if you are looking for a change in pace from the local food.

    Stopped in walking back from a jazz club because it smelt good outside had five dollar cocktail special on Sundays, which was fabulous very clean very good service fair prices delicious food. They are very serious about their heat levels. Be careful of that. I was overzealous in order to level four and was crying lol but the food was delicious.

    Sukho Thai is a MUST if you're in the area. We ordered the Butterfly Pea flower Dumplings, pad Thai with the seafood combo and the eggplant lovers. Everything was amazing. Not only was it the best food we've had so far in NOLA but it was hands down the best Thai food I've ever had. Meg P was our server. She was so kind and helpful. She gave us great recommendations and was a real joy. Thank you Meg. The place is super cute too.

    so many teas!

    I have been on a mission to try every Thai place in the city and this unfortunately was my least favorite so far. It does have a lot going for it though as I gave it 3 stars. I just didn't love the food. I got the special and it was the pineapple fried noodles. The shrimp was a good size but I just didn't enjoy the flavoring in this dish. I would be willing to come back to try a different dish though. I will tell you what I loved now. We had one of the most enjoyable waiters I have had in a while. He was professional while still making some. I wish I could remember his name; I remember the tattoos and the fun socks he wore. I also loved the tea. I would probably be back to try all the different teas they offer here and at a great price too. I enjoyed the ambience as well. The umbrella decor and the space is bright and open with lots of beautiful natural light. Overall, it was aesthetically pleasing. They also have a very good happy hour M-F that lasts till 7. Those are sometimes rare. And there are good prices for their beers and they have a good variety of sakes as well.

    We were in the area and decided to stop here. We have been a few times and this place never disappoints. The ambiance was very nice . Also Decorated nicely. I had the crab rice with level 1 . Yes it's still spicy but delicious and the crabmeat was plentiful. My daughter and husband loved their noodle dishes. Levels 3 which was quite spicy but they both still enjoyed. The service was great ! Food came out fast and hot !

    I love Sukhothai. We have been to both locations. Our most recent visit was to the location on Royal. Didn't need reservations but still had nice vibes with people eating dinner on a thursday night. Our server was really sweet. We ordered the halloween cocktail specials they were running (1.75 for a martini is a steal.) We also ordered two appetizers, the dumplings with shrimp and crab and the veggie rolls. Both apps came before our drinks did, which wasn't a big deal, just kind of unusual. However, they were both very tasty. We also got the drunken noodles and the garlic beef as entrees. These were soooo tasty. My only complaint was I wish the beef was a little hotter temperature wise. The flavor and taste was so good. They give you an option of spice range 1-5. We did 2 on both which had a nice kick but nothing crazy. A good classic reliable thai spot.

    Still one of our favorite places to eat on this side of town. Classic Thai flavors. Lots of options including vegetarian. Efficient service and staff. Calm vibe and comfortable seating.

    Crispy tofu with sweet chili sauce and crushed peanuts
    Rachel S.

    My friends and I love local Thai restaurants and search for the best when we travel for work conferences. We were definitely happy with our choice for New Orleans. For my vegan/vegetarian friends, they have a really good selection of menu items, not just 1 or 2 entrees or appetizer options. We always order a bunch of appetizers and split them so we ordered roti with peanut sauce (or curry sauce), veggie tempura with tamarind sauce, chicken satay skewers with peanut sauce, and crispy tofu with sweet chili sauce and crushed peanuts. OMG!! The tofu triangles were battered and fried and the inside was soft and creamy and had a delicious crispy exterior. Way better than flash fried tofu you see at other restaurants (they all call it "crispy" or "fried" tofu but those are always chewy and not crispy. The veggie tempura had broccoli, carrot sticks, onion rings and zucchini spears- a good variety of vegetables! Their roti reminded me of the scallion pancakes without the onions so they were chewy and flavorful and perfect to dip into the peanut sauce. I ordered the chicken pad thai and it was stuffed with pieces of white meat chicken and very tasty. We split their dragons puffs (their version of beignets) which were basically triangles of sopapillas drizzled with honey and topped with fresh berries. Super tasty and light!

    My wife and I visited this place a few times several years ago and she had been talking about it ever since, so this week we finally went back. There is one specific dish here that is over the top delicious: the herbal garden whole fish. It's a perfectly fried redfish/snapper with a spectacular sauce with various herbs, onions, and nuts. It was just as amazing this time as it was on our previous visits. It's my favorite fish dish, anywhere. Their other dishes are good, but the fish is what we love.

    Amanda D.

    Kind and attentive staff, that are friendly with great suggestions! Fridays are happy hour all day, which means $4 beers and $6 wines... great deal! We tried the sampler appetizer (underwhelming because all of the wrappings - shrimp pocket and spring roll - had the same flavor. The presentation of the app was lovely though! The eggplant was delicious and packed with fresh flavors & veggies, the scallops and mussels were cooked to perfection, and the zucchini on the skillet was probably my favorite vegetable on the table! I wish we would have tried their pad thai, but will have to save it for our next visit! Bathroom and restaurant were clean, we were just a little bit warm where we were seated (corner by windows).

    Over twenty years ago, my husband and I stumbled upon this excellent family-owned Thai restaurant in New Orleans, and we have been coming here ever since. Whenever we visit the city, We make sure we visit one of our favorite restaurants. We have traveled the world and tried many Thai restaurants, and time and time again, this restaurant holds a special place in our hearts. It's one of the best, if not THE BEST, Thai restaurant we have ever had. If you're craving authentic Thai cuisine in New Orleans, SukhoThai's Elysian Fields location is a hidden gem that consistently delivers bold flavors, generous portions, and a warm, inviting atmosphere. Nestled just steps away from the French Quarter, this spot captures the energy of downtown and the elegance of traditional Thai cooking. SukhoThai offers a cozy, intimate vibe with tasteful Thai-inspired decor gold accents, carved wood, and soft lighting make it a great setting for casual dinners and date nights. An elevated Thai dining experience in a relaxed, neighborhood setting. Whether you're a spice lover, a curry enthusiast, or simply looking for a comforting bowl of noodles, this place delivers consistently and deliciously. Service is professional, warm, and attentive. Our lovely waitress knows the menu well and is great at helping guests navigate spice levels and recommendations. It's clear the team takes pride in both the food and the guest experience. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Supreeya, and the Chef. Supreeya generously offered us a taste of one of her favorite appetizers, a traditional Thai sausage with onions, cabbage, cucumber, and pork rinds in dipping sauce. It was delicious! When visiting New Orleans, this Thai restaurant is a MUST!!! The menu is expansive and impressively authentic. A few standouts from our most recent visits: Panko Softshell Crab Softshell crab deep-fried in Asian bread crumbs, with/ spring greens, spicy garlic aioli, and mango tomato chutney. Crispy Tofu ( Vegan) Fried tofu strips served with plum dipping sauce and ground peanuts. Drunken Noodles (Pad Kee Mao) Bangkok-style spicy street food.  Wide rice noodles with/ fresh chilies, galangal, garlic, peppercorn & basil, stir-fried in light soy sauce with/ red bell, green beans, onion, carrot, cabbage, and tender beef meat. Packed with heat and flavor--ask for "medium" unless you're ready for serious spice. Panang Curry Beef A mildly spicy aromatic Panang curry with your protein of choice, zucchini, green beans, bell pepper, and sweet basil, topped with fresh coconut milk and garnished with lime leaves. It's rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced with just the right level of coconut sweetness and herbal depth. And for beverages we opted for Lychee Martinis

    Garden Soup

    The food was good! Prices are fair! Very classy indeed if you're looking for a nice setting and style! Maria was awesome at servicing us!

    Is the chicken pad thai more limey than peanut sauce?

    The chicken pad Thai is one of the best in the city. Definitely not too peanut-y. Not too lime-y. And the fact that you can spice it to your preference is great.

    Really nice meal before the show with my vegetarian friends…read more Recently a couple of friends and I needed to grab a quick bite. I thought we were going to another place when one of my guests suggested Thaihey across the street from the fire station on Decatur. Yes, sure. It's a typical Quarter restaurant with its long gallery seating. We were seated right away. The menu appeared to be heavily vegetarian which was great for my two friends. Many will understand the limited menu options for vegetarians at most places. Wes ordered Tom Kai, Becky the Massaman Jackfruit option and I the one with short rib. It was delicious. It was warm and comforting, full of flavor and the chef made it less spicy for me. What a delight to choose a menu option that I have never had and restaurant that I have never been to. You believe that I'll return for certain. Especially for that gorgeous Mai Tai!

Thai food can sometimes be hit or miss for me, and I'm usually pretty particular about what I order. I don't tend to branch out too much when it comes to Thai food because I already know what I like. But this place definitely impressed me. From the rice dishes to the noodle dishes, everything was seasoned perfectly and packed with flavor. Each bite was delicious, and I really enjoyed how well-balanced all the flavors were. It was the kind of meal where you just keep eating and forget you were supposed to take pictures in the first place! The restaurant itself is spacious and has a really beautiful aesthetic. I loved the combination of the artwork and exposed brick walls. Together, they create this rustic, cozy feel that makes the space feel both stylish and inviting. The ordering process is pretty simple. They give you a menu when you arrive, and then you head up to the register to place your order and pay. The food came out surprisingly quickly, which was definitely a plus because I was hungry! Overall, I really enjoyed my experience here. The food was flavorful, the atmosphere was beautiful, and the service was quick and easy. I'm glad I decided to give this place a try, and I'd definitely come back to enjoy another meal here.

First off -- the food itself was VERY fresh, flavorful, and honestly really good. The portions are absolutely humongous. Like... huge. My husband was born and raised in East New Orleans, where this restaurant is located, so he knows the area very well. This place seems fairly new though, so we wanted to support a small business and give it a try. One thing I will say is the customer service wasn't the friendliest. There were only two of us, and with the amount of food we ordered, I feel like they could've at least warned us about how large the portions were. We originally ordered the 5-piece wings, but they didn't have that option available, so they automatically gave us the 10-piece without really explaining it or saying anything beforehand. The vibe honestly felt a little like you have to know people there to get the full welcoming experience because we noticed other customers getting smiles and a little more interaction, while ours felt very dry. Not sure what that was about. Also, the food does take a LONG time to come out, but you can definitely tell it's freshly made, so I can appreciate that. Overall, despite the service not being the best, the food was really good and worth trying. I'd definitely order from here again if we're back in the area -- but probably to-go next time. That's just my honest review.
