Suross Thai Bistro - New Management — Restaurant in New York

We visited on a weekend for brunch. The inside was surprisingly small, since I was expecting a full-on “restaurant” type eatery. It seems that most businesses they have are either pick up or delivery. They did have a couple of small tables, and a small counter seating by the window.

They have some enticing lunch special menu at great price, and our luck would have it, they offer it for brunch too! They come with complimentary side salad, a choice of starter, and a water. The water can be upgraded to Thai Iced Tea or Soda for additional cost. We got the Thai Iced Tea (additional $2 for upgrade from water). It was really good, kind of nutty, and very sweet as expected.

We had Vegetable Gyoza and Fried Tofu as starters. They were small in portion, but they are starters... Gyoza were steamed, not fried. Tofu were very firm, with a bit of kick to it from the tasty sauce.

For main, we had Massaman Curry with Fried Fillet Fish, and Street Pork Noodle Soup. Curry was coconut-y and sweet, but not too sweet. Nice amount of rice and loads of lightly fried white fish, which was very tasty! The Noodle Soup was so good! Light with almost translucent broth and noodle, not heavy at all. Earthy and comfy, very homey and flavorful.

It was very satisfying, we were full with just a little over $20! The female staff was very friendly and welcoming also, we will be...

I was happy to see a new Thai restaurant while walking last night. However, NYC Thai food is usually not that good, so I was skeptical, but eager to try it.

For $8-$10, the lunch special is a very good deal. From 12pm-4pm, you get a bottle of water, a salad, choice of appetizer, and entree. So far I have had well over a dozen Spicy Basil dishes here, a Rama dish, a few rice dishes, plus spring rolls and gyoza.

The food here is much better than at Tung Thong 181. However, as is typical in New York, the dishes sometimes contain a bit too much salt and soy sauce. If they tone those down, they'll have a much better taste experience. Otherwise the food is very fresh, and I tend to come back here at least 1x-2x a week (although the cashiers never seem to recognize me, lol).

The place is very small inside and has only a few tables. The inside also has a faux rustic feel which looks a bit silly (you'll see what I mean). Still, it's pleasant enough if you can get a seat. Otherwise I imagine they'll thrive as a take out place.

Now if we can only get a Trader Joe's in Washington Heights! ...

I remember reading that if you can’t say anything nice don’t say anything at all. With that in mind, please ALL BE FOREWARNED!!! As someone in the restaurant business I like to give leniency. however if I could give zero stars, minus stars I would. The driver was almost 2 hours late. Furthermore, when I called the restaurant, they told me they had no ability to get another driver. To make matters worse, Grubhub and its infinite wisdom of speaking to a supervisor offered me $5 that’s right five dollars for my troubles of ordering over $150. Forget about the food being cold it was not only cold. Ordered crispy duck duck was raw. Ordered noodles mild they came pipping spicy. I could go on and on, but it truly left bad taste in my mouth because it’s the whole thing was horrible. not only for this place, but actually after the thousands of dollars I’ve spent on Grubhub this is how they treat us. Truly horrible. Maybe if you live upstairs, you’ll get it a faster delivery. Good luck and...
