Spicy Sugar Thai Long Beach — Restaurant in Long Beach

my goodness. got there at 1030pm and spent nearly thirty minutes trying to find parking. insanely difficult as it is downtown long beach. i don't mark down the restaurant for that.

you know what i do mark the restaurant down for? ticket began at 1101 pm and we left the restaurant at 12 am. we spent an ENTIRE HOUR at the restaurant. mind you, we weren't chatting to make our time increase, we were just waiting for our food.

our food took AGES to arrive. we ordered the ramen with a "spin," pad kee mao, and spicy garlic fried rice. the ramen was the first to arrive after one and a half episodes of rick and morty. it was when the ramen was completely finished that a wrong dish arrived at our table. a couple minutes later, the pad kee mao arrived to much disdain.

how do you white wash culture so badly? the pad kee mao barely had any flavor, and same with the fried rice. in fact, all of the dishes had barely any flavor and tasted like a burp after eating from a very good thai place. how do you get rid of possibly any flavor? the ramen had a hint of the spice packet and came with carrots??? broccoli?? cabbage??? what the heck

it reminded me of when i was younger and had to wash my ramen in water before eating it. barely any flavor, barely any taste, barely anything.

they seemed to be extremely understaffed in the kitchen. perhaps it was because it was an hour before closing, but that is no way a restaurant should function.

EDIT i have no desire to dine here again. this restaurant is considered a joke between my...

My favorite food is definitely Thai, and every time I check out a new Thai spot I HAVE to get the Pad See Ew… Top tier Pad See Ew at spicy sugar..! Has that roasted taste and the sweetness wasn’t too much, loved it. I also got the sweet sticky rice, vegetable egg rolls, and Lao papaya salad. The vegetable egg rolls were delicious and came out hot and fresh, sweet sticky rice was also tasty, although they don’t put the coconut milk sauce as most places do, I still appreciated the rice itself and wasn’t too sweet (as I prefer). Wasn’t a fan of the Lao papaya salad as it had a distinct taste, but I can see why people love it.

4 stars for service ONLY because it may take longer than usual to get your order out, for both dine in and takeout. Keep in mind this is a small restaurant and family owned, so I wasn’t expecting super fast service. Honestly didn’t mind it at all because of how beautiful and aesthetically pleasing the inside is! Will be coming here again if I’m ever in this...

Came here on a Saturday at 5PM and we were promptly greeted and seated. Water, a wonton appetizer, and menus were brought immediately for us to snack on while perusing the menu. We ordered several items and they were brought quickly, all at once.

5/5 Naked wing crispy garlic: deliciously juicy and well fried. 3.5/5 Crisp chicken with panang curry (mild): the curry was amazingly sweet and aromatic. So full of flavor and subtle spices. The chicken was thinly battered and crispy but a little on the dry side. 4/5 Chicken satay (4 skewers): flavorful and well grilled. 5/5 Thai bbq skewers (3 skewers): ordered the pork and it was moist and well seasoned. 5/5 Sweet sugar roll: they were like sweet thin pancakes and such a delight. Highly recommend! 5/5 Thai tea: sweet, creamy, and a perfect complement to the spices.

Excellent service! Our server was attentive, courteous, and overall very pleasant. Looking forward to coming back to try some of the...
