SukkhoThai Restaurant — Restaurant in Nanaimo

I went into this restaurant with average expectations based on the reviews. I was having a craving for Thai food and thought this would satisfy that. Well boy was I wrong. Cool place, nice seating with the doors rolled up, but that’s where it ends! Ordered springs rolls, oily and there was really hard pieces inside almost like finger nail clippings. And the Drunken Noodles, the chef must have been drunk, because there was zero flavour and these where like boiled noodles with bland chicken and uncooked veggies. It’s like they forgot to actually cook the dish. So I sent that back and thought, since I am starving, to order the Thai Fried Rice. Well that was just as bad as the noodle dish, zero flavour, weird smell and the egg in the dish might as well just have been served on top of the rice, it was not diced up and mixed in at all, and the same bland chicken. I tried to stomach as much as I could, then asked for the bill. Oh by the way, the lady there saw I sent back the noodles and said “maybe you should come back Wednesday or Thursday when I am cooking”…..really!! No apology, no nothing! So back to the bill, I was given the bill and the had the nerve to still charge me for the noodles. I asked them to remove it and the young guy said “I will ask the kitchen, but they will say no, because they made it and will lose money on the dish”. Oh boy, that was it, I was about to just walk out, but decided to pay for my meal, minus the noodles! Please, do not waste your time or money at this restaurant, it is trash and they have no clue what flavour is, unless it’s Wednesday or Thursday when the lady is cooking. I gave the atmosphere a 1 star because of the...

Honestly, huge let down. The service was not good and I got food poisoning so I won’t be back.

We went for dinner, we were the only one there’s. We were told to sit wherever we like (super, thank you) but then the young guy never came to give us menus after waiting for awhile so I went to get them for us. I read a discrepancy on the menu… was really craving Tom Yum Soup with rice. Menu says WITH chicken or prawns, I don’t eat chicken so I would have selected prawns except it says “with prawns $3.75”! This combo would have cost me well over $20. I explained how it says WITH chicken or prawns so I should be able to pick one of those options for no additional cost. The fellow was flustered with my query and finally suggested vegetables, to which thank you yes that is helpful but definitely could have been shared previous to the attitude. The rice was good, the soup was a disappointment. And I got food poisoning from the soup somehow! My stomach has been off since eating there last night so I’m not sure what was in the soup but it did smell fishy and taste a little off. The server didn’t offer us dessert, only just gave us the bill which had a get the eff out vibe to it. He felt young and inexperienced… I get that serving can be challenging with peoples dietary restrictions and such but it’s important to be able to offer substitutes and to be kind about it. There are plenty of great spots to eat, I just wouldn’t recommend dining in here or getting the rip off Tom yum soup! It is not an expensive dish to make and was very over priced for what...

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Sukkho Thai in Nanaimo, and I must say, it was a truly delightful experience. The restaurant offers an authentic taste of Thailand with rich and vibrant flavors that transport you straight to the streets of Bangkok.

One of the highlights of my visit was the incredible taste of the food. The dishes were bursting with flavors and spices that perfectly captured the essence of Thai cuisine. From the aromatic Pad Prik Kang to the tangy Massamam curry, every bite was a treat for the taste buds. Every drink of the Thai Ice tea was refreshing and cooled off well any of the spicy residuals from our taste buds. Sukkho Thai truly excels in creating an authentic and satisfying culinary experience.

Another aspect that impressed me was the speed of service. Despite the restaurant being busy, the food arrived promptly, which was a pleasant surprise. It's always a pleasure to have your cravings satisfied in a timely manner, especially in a bustling atmosphere. The restaurant also has a decent amount of greenery and Thai art.

However, it's worth noting that due to its popularity, Sukkho Thai can get quite busy during peak hours. This can result in a wait for a table and some delays in service. Nonetheless, I believe the exceptional flavors and overall experience make it well worth the wait. The inside is warm and so be prepared to sweat if you order...
