Sukhothai is owned by the husband-and-wife duo, Jeff and Nuit Regular. Having brought us other popular Thai restaurants around the city, they've got some serious cred.
What went in my belly:
Thai Iced Tea ($4) - Tasty but very sweet and creamy. Don't order this if you want something light and refreshing.
Shrimp Chips - with tamarind dip ($5). They were really, really addictive. They tasted great on their own but I also liked the sweetness from the tamarind dip. They'd make for a great bar snack!
Garlic Chicken ($9). The bite-sized pieces of chicken were nicely fried and weren't greasy at all. Crisp and garlicky with a bit of sweet and sour sauce. Another great sharing appetizer!
Tom Yum Kung - hot and sour shrimp soup with herbs ($6). The server asked us what spice level we preferred and decided on medium. It was actually quite spicy but so. damn. good. It had a strong cilantro flavour and was easily one of the best tom yum soups I've had. Don't miss out!
Khao Soi - yellow noodles in curry gravy with beef ($14). If you've ever had the one from Khao San Road, this dish is almost identical. Sweet and rich with chunks of tender beef and topped with crispy noodles. Delicious!
SukhoThai Pad Thai ($14). One of the city's best pad thai's! Not the goopy ketchupy stuff that I've had a few too many times.
Gaeng Panang - panang with Thai basil, tamarind sauce, onions and deep fried shallots ($12). We ordered the tofu version and unfortunately I wasn't a huge fan of this. Easily the least memorable dish of the meal. It was just...bland. Maybe it was cause was ordered tofu?
Cassava Cake ($4). It was soft like a rice cake and had just the right amount of sweetness.
Overall, I really enjoyed the food at Sukhothai. Being a fan of all their other Thai ventures, Jeff and Nuit Regular can seem to do no wrong!
