Was there yesterday for the first time, this is a warm and nice restaurant not very big. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Very warm staff Becky served us, very humble person served with a smile. Their cooking is very authentic Thai, flavor were great and spice levels are Thai grade if you love hot food (chili spicy) then go for 6-7 it will steam you well.. if you like a little kick of heat then I would recommend a 3.5 out of 10. We tried crispy veggie spring rolls which were good crispy and served hot. Miami kham: interesting dish roasted coconut, chopped onions, roasted peanut and shrimp served on a lattice leaf paired with tangy sweet tamarind sauce (must try) Red curry chicken: this was good very flavorful and spicy (because I ordered a 5) Pad Thai: good flavor but interestingly they did not use the pad Thai noodles rather they use regular vermicelli. This pace is a BYOB but have a $20 cocking charge. They also seek Sake and few wines. Overall very good place
We stumbled into Sukho Thai for lunch and were blown away. The flavors were incredibly fresh and the meat was cooked perfectly. The noodles in my Pad See Ew were a real standout — rich, savory, and perfectly balanced. The lettuce wraps are also a must-try, packed with crisp, fresh ingredients that make every bite light but flavorful. Prices were very reasonable, and the staff and service were terrific. Our go-to Thai spot has always been Bahn Thai, but honestly… this was just a little bit better! Highly recommended if you’re craving authentic Thai food with bright, fresh flavors.
My sister took me to her favorite “Thai” restaurant. Let me tell you, I was not disappointed and now remains one of my favorite Thai restaurants in San Diego now. I will tell you the flavors and food are simply authentic. Service is also really friendly, fast and the food is decently priced. It’s a bit small, and hard to find parking, but I think it’s worth the wait. We came with my father who is wheelchair bound and we were pleased there was a dedicated Ada seating and enough room for his scooter to fit in. I definitely recommend this place for your Thai food fix. *note* Thai spiciness can be very spicy. So I always recommend a 2, so you can have a bit of a kick.
A great North Park eatery w unique & flavorful dishes. We started off w Miang Kham: lettuce wraps filled w a delicious blend of flavors including peanuts, coconut flakes, & a delicious sauce. Then a vegetable soup level 4 spice (look out!) and all great salmon salad w ginger dressing & cucumbers. Everything was so tasty & light. A surprise in every bite. Refreshing teas too!
Such a great experience! We didn’t have a reservation, but the staff was so friendly and accommodating—they got us seated right away. We ordered the Pad See Ew and Spicy Noodles, and both dishes were packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. The Thai tea was delicious too—sweet, creamy, and refreshing. The space itself is super clean, cozy, and modern, which made the vibe really enjoyable. Definitely coming back soon!
A last minute lunch decision before heading back home and it was exactly the right one. My son and I enjoyed a quiet lunch here. Both the food and service were excellent. I would highly recommend the Pad Thai but frankly everything looked and smelled great as it came out of the kitchen. I hope to return soon to try something new of their menu.
This might actually be the best Thai food I’ve had outside of Thailand. I had this spicy basil with vegan duck, which was absolutely freaking amazing. I’ll be thinking about this one for a long time. The restaurant was clean. There was lots of seating. parking wasn’t too hard. The staff was very attentive and polite.They had a restroom. Everything was well stocked. The menu was simple and easy to understand with lots of variety and everything was an amazing value. I really enjoyed my experience here. The ambience was really great and I cannot wait to go back!
The passion fruit with flowers tea was a good choice. The fresh spring rolls with the peanut sauce were large and tasty. I had the signature sole fish fillet which was cooked to perfection. My husband had a really good and large serving of pad Thai. We tried the rice & garlic pepper shrimp and it was hard not to finish all for it was tasty. The best part was the staff was friendly and accommodating for food allergies.
