| - My experience at Suko Thai was less than stellar. I was looking forward to dining here, as a friend had informed me that it had been voted the "best Thai restaurant in Mississauga" two years running. I went in with an open mind, but had a gut feeling that I was about to be disappointed.
When we first entered the restaurant, we were unsure as to whether or not we were supposed to seat ourselves. The host really took his time coming over to us - we didn't even realize that he was the host at first. He was not very pleasant, and seated us at an awkward table in front of an emergency exit - even though there were plenty of tables elsewhere. We had planned to ask our waitress if we could move, but he must have sensed that (because we were still wearing our jackets) and he relocated us to a more comfortable table.
I ordered the green curry with chicken, and my friend had the crispy fish with chili sauce. We also ordered the shredded Thai taro appetizer. We were asked if we'd like rice with our dishes - isn't it standard that they come with rice? Not sure how else we would eat them. The appetizer was nothing special, and came with a chili sauce for dipping that was clearly out of a bottle (my friend has the same one in his fridge). My green curry was extremely disappointing. It had no flavour; I was actually scouring the tables for a salt shaker. I had more than half of it left in the end, and chose not to even bother taking it home - knowing that I wouldn't eat it. My friend's fish was well cooked, but was served with that same bottled chili sauce. He wasn't a fan of his dish either.
When we received the bill, I wasn't surprised to find that the rice had been tacked on as an additional charge. What WAS surprising was that they were $3 and $3.50 for the brown rice that I had ordered, and the coconut rice that my friend ordered (respectively). The portions were quite small - not even enough to eat my curry with, had I finished it - and let's be honest, rice is cheap.
The waitress was pleasant enough and the restaurant appeared clean, and that's about the only good thing I can say for this place. I'd hope that some of the other dishes are more savoury, considering the commendations this establishment has received; this is the only reason I gave 2 stars as opposed to 1.
My advice: don't bother with this place. As another reviewer mentioned, you can find better tasting Thai food for less elsewhere.
