| - I give Suh Noi's food taste 4 stars, service 2 stars, so 3 stars is my rating. I did not like Thai food enough to go to a Thai restaurant. When I was in Thailand for 6 weeks, I could not eat the Thai food, cos it was too hot and gave me serious diarrhea enough to cause me to lose 12 lbs when I came back to USA. I had to eat Australian and Italian food in Thailand.
But I went with a Greater Phoenix Ethnic Lunch MeetUp to Suh Noi because people said it was so good, and it was so close to my house (about 3 miles). I ordered the fried catfish ($13). It was SOOOOOOO GOOD, I am rather obsessing over it. People said the lunch special soup was so good. I wanna go to Suh Noi again to have lunch special which includes the soup.
We had 12 in our MeetUp for lunch party for 1 pm on Thurs. There were only 2 other occupied tables, one with 2 people, other with 3. I felt the service was bad, like the reviews said. They could not serve all of us about the same time. Some of us got our food 40 min after others got their entrees, and we kept telling the server that we were so hungry, when is our food coming. Soon Soon. It's coming! Of course people in our party were done eating, when others were still waiting for their entrees (me! I was last person to get my order). I looked at my watch. By the time I got my order, I had been sitting in that restaurant for an hour.
Furthermore, I observed that the other tables had already turned over twice, and they came later than we did, and got their food sooner, and then ate and left, before some of us in our party (ME !) even got our food. Made me "jealous", cos I was so hungry.
Also I asked for a dish of lemon wedges (for me to make lemonade) and I think it took 20 min and reminding, to get my lemon wedges, which meant I did not drink my water, cos I was waiting for my lemon wedges.
I think if Suh Noi could have great service, they would be one of those rare 5 star restaurants that I give.
But the fried catfish was SOOOO GOOD and I felt they gave me a lot of fish, too, the portion was generous!
I later went back on another day and ordered the lunch special. I felt the portion was very small for the price, compared to another new Thai restaurant Thai Long-An.
Parking is very limited, but you can park in horseshoe around the sides and back of the building, even though it says No Parking.
