Sukawatee Malaysia & Thai Restaurant — Restaurant in North Hertfordshire

Terrible experience at this restaurant. We walk in at 9:00 p.m. and the first thing we're told is they close at 10: 30pm... Not welcome to the restaurant 😅. Anyway, service was provided without much interest and this also included the management. I ordered an overpriced pad krapow moo (holy basil stir fry translated in english) It should be the simplest of dishes with minced pork, holy basil, chillers and a few green beans. What turns up is a dish that doesn't taste at all like the specific Phad Krapow flavour, probably because there was no basil in it or if any, one or two small pieces. It was further cooked with lumps of pork belly with green and red peppers. Nothing like the very typical standard everyday dish of Thailand. When the manager was questioned about the basil, they said there wasn't much because it was a very expensive ingredient. We're talking about a dish that was some £16 on the menu (without rice). At the end of the meal they were not patient and wanted to clear the table and give the bill before we were ready, still long before the listed closing time.. No big deal, just a place to avoid and for others to be aware of. Probably the Little Monkey in Hitchin would be a better choice for Thai food. £100 for 4 people (1 dish each, 4 dishes...

First time visiting Sukawatee and we are so glad that we did.

On entering this tantalising and tasty thai restaurant we were greeted and made to feel welcome by some of the most polite and friendly staff we have ever encountered.

Luckily there was a table available and after being shown to our seat we opted for the set A menu.

All i can say is wow! The starters, which included Golden bags stuffed with minced pork and prawns, chicken satay and some other delightfully delicious thai titbits all tasted amazing and would happily order again.

Onto the mains, we were served a creamy and flavoursome thai green curry and Beef with basil and chilli a good selection of rice and some mixed veg.....this was sublime and i could have eaten double if for the fact that the portions were so filling.

Desert was a shared bowl of deep fried ice cream which tasted so good if not a bit indulgent which was a great end to a wonderful meal.

I cant recommend sukawatee enough , well worth the money and we enjoyed it so much that we have booked a table for our anniversary.

To all staff...

We visited this lovely restaurant last night. Our booking was for 6:30pm and table had to be returned just before 8pm which was fine for us as we understand that other bookings had been made. We were seated and had a look through our menu, placed the orders. Food came in good time considering we ordered about 5 dishes. I have to say the staff were EXTREMELY attentive. We felt well taken care of. There was a nice atmosphere as well. It was pretty full so there were moments it got pretty loud but we didn't mind. Also was someone's birthday and the whole restaurant joined in singing her happy birthday which was lovely. Food was BEAUTIFUL. I was stuffed so they kindly packaged up the rest to take home. We've lived in Hitchin for over 2 years and alwags wanted to try this restaurant. We used to walk past and the aroma that would come from the building was captivating. So glad we finally got to go there! Price was great too. We ordered 5 dishes and it totalled to just under £50 which was amazing as we were expecting more hahaha! Will...
