Sukhothai Restaurant — Restaurant in Arlington

Went here for dinner on a weekday, they are one of those places that are open for lunch then close & open back up for dinner. We got there at 5pm when they opened & was warmly greeted by staff.

We had cheese rolls for an appetizer, they were okay. More of a personal preference, these are made with cream cheese & carrots. More savory than that tinge of sweetness my mind had me expecting, but yes I read the menu - cream cheese doesn't necessarily mean sweet. I do feel like they were a bit small for the price & they were warm instead of hot. The sauce was really good though.

I had the beef pad thai, it was excellent. Big portions, the beef was juicy & flavorful. I also liked how it wasn't overwhelming with the sauce but just enough. This came out pipping hot, delicious. My friends had the chicken pad thai & basil chicken which both of them enjoyed their food. We were happy with our choices.

We were there until maybe 8pm, the entire time we were there no one else came in to dine but there had been maybe four or five come in to get take out. This place has been here for a long time & the owners (I assume)/staff were so incredibly sweet! Very attentive, so welcoming, I hope that business is sustainable. Atmosphere wise, it's a little basic, worn down, but that's also the area that it's in. Old Arlington. I would still recommend trying them...

Lunch time visit on a Wednesday. Very simple and humble ambiance when you walk in. 11 tables that seat 4 (one table seats 6) in the establishment. Easy to find, sitting in between the Dollar General and Al's Hamburger. Plenty of parking.

Ordered Golden Fried Tofu, which was crispy on the outside and light on the inside. The accompanied House sauce was very bland, even with a few chili flakes and peanuts.

For my lunch entree, I ordered the Stir fry Chicken in Oyster Sauce. It was bland even at medium spice. The onions stood out as crisp and good flavor but the chicken and mushrooms in the oyster sauce woefully fell short.

Overall a mediocre experience unfortunately, I was really hoping to find a local Thai restaurant in my neighborhood that I can return to often.

Overall, I would not recommend this place, while the bill was only $24, (with an ice tea), seeming to be a good price, but the dishes were lack luster in taste and depth, compared to what I...

Hmm 🤔 I have no idea where these other reviews came from but I am so GLAD that I tried it for myself! We tried the two curries and shrimp eggplant stir-fry. The food was so so so so good, curries had so much depth of flavor and everything was hot off the stove. The fluffy white rice 🍚 was great because there was so much yummy gravy that came with entrees it was the perfect combo. The meat is tender, veggies 🥕 flavorful, and each specialty plate is good for one person. The medium 2 is not as spicy as I thought🥵 because I know Thai hot can send me to the ER so you’ll be fine. Just ask for pepper on the side to control your heat. The menu is huge and offers a variety of things with explanations in English. Definitely a great place for authentic and DELICIOUS...
