Sumalee's PhuketThaiFood — Restaurant in Den Helder

First and foremost, the food I have had here has been outstanding. The service is always friendly. As a very obviously not Dutch guest , I'm always greeted pleasantly, and if I cannot make myself understood due to a language barrier the staff has found someone to help. I definitely recommend pad Thai, tom yum soup, green curry, and som tam. I'm sure the other dishes are delicious too , but those 4 mentioned above are the ones that I've tried. My only complaints , one of which is actually a positive attribute to the restaurant is that I have been turned away due to reservations on a Friday night. Also, takeout can take up to an hour. I understand the reservations and am happy for them but an hour for take out is in my opinion, far too long . So I advise calling far ahead for a table or just take out. That is the only reason for a 4 star review and not 5. Please go here if you find yourself in Den Helder or anywhere even close. Thanks for...

Food is pretty delicious, and you can customise the spiciness level. I like that the spiciness complements the dish and is not just overpowering everything else. Pretty authentic, and it's clearly a popular place as many tables are booked for dinner. The portions are nice and more than enough, but not too crazily a lot which is quite common. The owner or employee is pretty friendly as well.

The downside is the ambience or cutlery could be better. The cutlery was a turn off, using cheap ones with plastic handles. They had chopsticks, but I found them a bit short especially with the deep plate the food was served in.

Highly...

Eten afgehaald, ontzettend aardige medewerkers, maar ik vond het eten echt niet zo lekker. Wij halen regelmatig overal en nergens Thais eten, inclusief in Thailand zelf, maar vonden dit echt niet lekker. De sperziebonen in het eten zijn letterlijk sperziebonen uit blik / pot, waardoor mijn eten letterlijk alleen naar pot sperziebonen smaakte.. de groente op de uien na proefde ook niet knapperig en vers, maar gewoon zacht. De kip overigens is qua structuur wel goed, ook qua smaak nogmaals nietszeggend en ook naar pot sperziebonen smakend. De smaak van het eten smaakt voor ons gevoel echt naar een matig kant en klaar pakje kruidenmix. Sorry voor de brutally honest review, maar dit is onze ervaring. Er zijn gelukkig genoeg goede recensies en blijkbaar ook een hele hoop mensen die er gelukkig niet zo over denken en het eten wel lekker vinden.

Positief: Leuk uitziend tentje. Vriendelijke medewerkers. Eten ziet er wel lekker uit alsnog. Het is...
