Loved our experience at Sukho Thai, New Orleans. The vegan Kee Mao noodles and Kee Mao fried rice were full of bold, authentic flavors, while the crispy tofu and peppery garlic were perfectly done. Sukho Thai dumplings were a great starter, and the martini cocktail paired really well with the food. A must-visit spot for flavorful Thai cuisine

The staff were friendly and professional. We had excellent house hot Saki and fresh delicious beer. The food was so good. It was well made and extremely flavorful. We had pad Thai and crying dragon steak. The steak was cooked perfectly to order. The spice level was good. After we ate we thought we could have handled a little more spice. But it's always better to error of the safe side with the spice.

Sukho Thai has always been a favorite spot for me so I went to check out the October $1.75 Martini Special and it blew me away! The drinks were amazing and scary strong in the best way, and the food? STILL OBSESSED Their Tom kah soup always has me hooked and I can never resist the Seafood Hot Pot Run, don’t walk, before it’s gone! And tell Maria, the hostess with the Mostest I said thanks for adding Dragon Puffs to my list of favorites

Most favorite Thai restaurant till date!!! The ambience was amazing. Perfect place for a date. The service was on point and our waitress was very kind and thoughtful to understand the kind of spice level we were looking for and she served the food pretty quick. It was hot and delicious. We ordered pineapple fried rice and cashew nut with chicken which was served with Thai rice. Spent around $50-$60 including drinks. Overall go here if you want to have authentic Thai food with great ambience.

Sukho Thai is a MUST if you’re in the area. We ordered the Butterfly Pea flower Dumplings, pad Thai with the seafood combo and the eggplant lovers. Everything was amazing. Not only was it the best food we’ve had so far in NOLA but it was hands down the best Thai food I’ve ever had. Meg P was our server. She was so kind and helpful. She gave us great recommendations and was a real joy. Thank you Meg.

Great little Thai restaurant just a block East of Frenchman St. I went here for dinner twice during my 4 day trip to NOLA. Great food, wonderful list of wine, sake, and beverages, exceptional service. The food comes out timely as well. I really enjoyed the Caribbean Pirate dish, they drop in onto a hot plate at your table. The first visit I also had scallops risotto (daily special) and an appetizer of shrimp in a pouch. Everything was perfectly seasoned, both times I ordered a level 4 for heat and it was enough to clear out the sinuses and not destroy the insides with too much heat. Cheers!

Um…. Excuse me? Why haven’t I been here sooner? The food was sooooo good. And they were playing jazz music. Meg, my server was so dope and sweet. She was wonderful. Everyone was so nice. And the fooooood. . I ordered the Royal TomYum soup (or something like that) and it was so good. I ordered some glass noodles to put in there and it was lovely. Next time I come. I am looking for Meg and that soup!!!
