It finally opened! There is not much to eat in the area and its such a great addition to the neighborhood!
The restaurant is quite small with only 20 seats between 7-8 tables. The interior is quite dark with a red glow and bamboo lantern lights, It's quite dark with not a lot of signage but look for the picnic tables outside. Our server was emotionless but was fine. The lady at the front counter was lovely and nice though.
We arrived at 5.30 pm for an early dinner for 3 people on a Sunday night and it wasn't packed, only 1 other table but when we left around 6.30, there were a few other tables filled. There were a ton of people in and out getting take-out and delivery though, it was almost non-stop!
We started with the shrimp chips and tamarind dipping sauce ($5), this is easily my favourite reason to go to Sukho Thai, slightly peppery, really crispy, lots of shrimp flavour with the sauce that is a bit sour and salty - so satisfying and the perfect snack that I can't stop eating.
The chicken coconut soup was good but it was just too sour (Tom Kha Gai, $12 for dinner portion with rice) I also got the Gaeng Masaman curry ($15), again it was a bit too sour and the beef was on the chewier side. But it was still pretty good and the potatoes were perfect soft spheres. I got medium, but it wasn't spicy at all.
The Panang Salmon ($18) was the best! Perfectly cooked, a good crust and still moist in the middle and it was a good portion. The sauce was creamy and the grilled asparagus was crispy and got that slightly charred taste which I like!
It was almost $60 for 3 people, and we were all stuffed with a bit of leftover curry and rice to take home. I would definitely come back because of the area and get the other items or if not just for the shrimp chips!
