Sukhothai

Horrible service. Took forever to get food and was a Tuesday evening. Friendly just sooooooo slowwwww. The salad rolls with chicken were strange as the chicken was extremely salty. The spring rolls were very doughy. The pad Thai tasted like noodles tossed in ketchup. The coconut rice was very good though! The green curry was good, however the vegetables were too hard.

Such amazing food. The service is awesome. I’m confused about the 3.5 rating on Unilocal!I’ve been going here regularly for my Panang curry fix for the past eight years and can’t see it changing anytime soon.

I am not a huge fan of Thai food but my boyfriend is. He introduced me to this place and to their tom yum soup. Hands down, the best soup I’ve ever had in my entire life. We drive thirty minutes at least twice a month just to pick up this soup and take it home again. It stays hot and is delicious. The perfect blend of spicy and sour. Everything in it is perfectly fresh. Reasonably priced too! We get two large orders of soup (leftovers are great warmed up too), one chicken and one shrimp plus three orders of steamed rice. We never eat more than half (stuffed) but want the extra for the next day. For this we pay $ 26. We could easily get away with ordering only one large and still both be stuffed for only $ 13, we just want that second meal.

I’m not sure what some of these reviews are about? Maybe buyers remorse? This is a great restaurant! The food is always fresh, hot and full of flavor. The sangrias are awesome in taste and for a quick buzz ;)
The staff are always very friendly and accommodating.
I highly recommend this place to anyone.
It’s never been bad yet. Even on extremely busy nights. :)

My girlfriend and I have been eating Thai food together for years. On the recommendation of a friend, we decided to try Sukhothai.
One word: awful.
Papaya salad is my favorite Thai dish, and it was not fresh, but soggy as if it had been dressed 3 days ago sitting in a plastic tub of its own filth, stewing for days. It was actually impossible to decipher if it was real papaya.
Zero fresh herbs were provided, however they kindly threw in a brown, soggy piece of lime.
All this for $ 10. Frankly, they should’ve paid me for eating it.
The next luxurious dish we dove into was chicken pad Thai. It was completely bland, like a normal pad Thai dish that had been rinsed with water. Once again, zero fresh herbs were provided. As for the chicken, it’s hard to write a real review considering there were only 3 pieces the size of a quarter.
Sukhothai was down to one dish to redeem itself: the shrimp rice wrap. But surprise, surprise, it missed the mark.

Wow! Sukhothai impressed the heck out of me!
Starting off when you walk in the doors and see an elegant décor, the restaurant is larger than it first appears. A nice touch added was they had chilled water in clear wine bottles for our table (instead of those plastic pitchers). Just a simple touch that added elegance.
We had a larger group and so our table was in the back. I think this was my first real Thai food experience (not including Thai dishes ordered from other Asian restaurants).
Cocktails were surprisingly cheap at only $ 5 and made with fresh ingredients like mint and berries.
THE menus offer a wide range of selections. All of them with your choice of protein or none. It was also nice that you could select your heat level from 1 – 10. My tastebuds are weak so I opt for no spice. Others opted for heat levels from 3 up to 7. The dishes came out beautifully presented. I had a crispy noodle dish with soya Ginger sauce, veggies and chicken. Other popular dishes at our table were pad Thai and curry.
The food was a-​mazazing! The sauces on their dishes just pulled everything together. Noodles were cooked just right. Veggies were still crisp. Everyone at our table raved about their food.
You have to cool off the spice burning your tastebuds with an order of Thai ice cream. Vanilla ice cream with coconut milk, covered in mango sauce and drizzled with peanuts. I wanted to lick my bowl clean!
What topped off the night was that we had excellent and attentive service at well.
I can’t wait to go back!

It had the opportunity to eat at Sukothai again this weekend. It was nice to add a few more dishes to this food review. It seems to me that they have expanded the restaurant since the last time I ate there, but I might be wrong. I don’t remember the a large back room and new washrooms from last time I ate in. Regardless, the atmosphere of the place is very much business-​lunch.
I have ordered:
Mango Salad — Spice level 1
Green Papaya Salad — Spice level 1
Pad Si Ew — Spice level 6
Pad Thai — Spice level 6
Green Curry Soup — Spice level 4,7
Mat Saman — Spice level 5
Pad Kaeng Puck — Spice level 5
Tom Yum — spice level 4
Spring Rolls — spice level 4
Red Curry Soup — spice level 4
Pad Kiew Wan — spice level 4
Mee Krob — Spice level 4
It is interesting to notice that my spice tolerance has increased in the last 6 months. My favourite dish was the green curry soup (spicy 7), which was just right for me. My favourite dish from this list was the Mat Saman and the green curry soup. My overall rating of the place remains the same. I liked the food, it was well made and tasty, but it apart from the fried tofu, it doesn’t really stand out among Winnipeg’s Thai restaurants.

2 stars for the food
5 stars for the service
I have had much better Thai food for less cost in Winnipeg and other cities. (Lao Thai!!!) I ordered the masaman curry with level 10 spiciness and it came out mild in spice and temperature. The potatoes were kind of mushy and I don’t think I finished it. Sampled some other friends dishes and they were just OK.
However, the ambience of the restaurant is mellow and service was fantastic. I came here with a large group for a friends birthday and the server was extremely accommodating about splitting up the bill and not rushing us out at close.
Probably wouldn’t come back on my own, but would definitely go if someone suggested it since the location is super convenient.
