Sukhothai

The food here was nothing spectacular, as I've had better in Edmonton. The Pad Thai had a nice sweetness to it, though a little bit of spice would have been nice. The noodles were a bit thicker than I'm used to, which I felt was a nice touch. The green curry had a nice spice to it, but it was a bit too oily for my liking. They also need to rethink their plating for this dish, as it's too shallow and wide, which cools it down very quickly (though it does look nice). The coconut rice was quite good, and a nice accompaniment for the curry. The quality of the beef used seemed to be poor, as the taste and texture were both unpleasant. The chicken quality was okay, though not great. The serving sizes were a bit small, considering the high prices. Overall, this restaurant is merely average, and I feel there are better options in downtown Edmonton.

Sukhothai is probably my favorite thai restaurant in Edmonton. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because the service can be very slow if they are busy. If they are not busy though the meal comes out fast. They are also quite expensive for thai food. Their coconut rice is amazing, and their dishes are full of flavor (a bit more spicy than some might prefer but very tasty!) Their pad thai is a favourite!

The food is only pretty good, we ordered a good selection off the menu, curries and the usual pad thai.... duck in red curry, a fish... however I know of better Thai restaurants (Bounthai downtown, Boulang in Chinatown) that have better food and better prices. The decor is classy but not comfortable, the service is good, and I would not be returning. It was good to try it out though.

My shrimp came out cold, and the wait staff rarely came by. When the the host collected our plates, he asked about the meal. I told him about the shrimp still on my plate. He made excuses that he was understaffed, that they didn't over cook the shrimp, and then didn't know what to do. He asked the owner, that offered me a free dessert. Being full,I declined. When we got the bill, both meals were on there at full price. Serving staff leaves much to be desired, food was bland and cold, and when this was brought up no one cared,. Never going back.

If I could give a negative, I would! I ordered the shrimp Papaya salad and it cost $20. I was expecting some huge salad full of shrimp. When I got home o discovered that the salad was hardly a salad at all and there was two pieces of shrimp! I called to complain and the woman working there practically laughed at me. I urge people to not go to this restaurant.
