Sakhuu Thai Plano — Restaurant in Plano

Sakhuu Thai is an upscale establishment with modern flair and harmonizing aesthetic elements that boast an inviting, charming, welcoming ambiance and core of energy in the heart of the Shops at Legacy in Plano. Cannot believe I have been missing out on this gem. It seems to be the perfect backdrop for an enjoyable solo afternoon lunch or evening dinner or with Family. The intricate detail and intimate dining space speaks for itself. Upon entering, you are instantly transported to a different realm of consciousness. There is a vibe here and you can certainly feel it when you walk through the door. The playlist song choice is solid as well and sets the mood for your meal. The Menu is in the Format of a Passport. Such a cute idea!

The dining experience was truly life-changing. We were immediately greeted with a smile, seated, and served by Christi. We mentioned we were first-time visitors and noted that we had an 11AM OpenTable Reservation. She was attentive and receptive to our needs without being intrusive. She also checked on us during our meal. Most noteworthy dishes were the Chicken Bao Bao(warm, fluffy, sweet and savory baked dough with equally flavorful and exotic meat simmered in coconut milk on the inside), Spice Level 2 Red Curry Chicken with an impressive depth of flavor and meat to curry ratio, and the tastiest Spice Level 2 Chicken Pad Thai with delightfully subtle tamarind undertones that I have ever had. Mom and I ordered the lunch special which included one spring roll and a choice of Salad or Tom Yum Soup(which contains mushrooms and I unfortunately can’t have since I am allergic). We will have to return for dessert another time since we were full from the appetizer and entrée. The Tom Yum Cocktails were beautifully presented, well-executed, and packed an earthy zing and delightfully invigorating punch to the palate with a spicy kick of ginger.

Met the manager - Tan. The team was visible on the floor. He was friendly, engaging, and handcrafted our Tom Yum Cocktails himself at the bar. We got to chat with him for a bit after our meal and it was clear that we will be returning as frequent patrons. Having lived in the DFW Metroplex for 23 years, we have been to several Thai Restaurants. As first-timers, this place - in terms of food, service, and ambiance - definitely did not disappoint. This will, undoubtedly, be added to our list of rotations of the plethora of Thai Restaurants...

I went for lunch about a year ago (great experience) so I excitedly decided to take my visiting family there over the recent holidays. Overall decent experience. Ambience great, service was okay at best. As a new yorker, I didn’t sit around waiting for something, if i needed something i went and found the server or someone who could quickly help me.

All was generally well except my Crispy Duck entree. They really need to revisit that option. I’ve had thai crispy duck many times in many places and this was the absolute worst. They breaded the duck (like fried chicken) which is terrible because duck is already fatty so breading on duck is a disaster. Luckily my mom ordered the pork belly entree which was spectacular. I felt terrible because i ate half of her meal and i totally ignored mine. I see from other reviews that the crispy duck soup is soggy and I’m guessing it’s because they add breading to the duck so that wouldn’t work well. I understand that this is Texas where everything is fried but c’mon - get it right. I know authentic thai crispy duck. Our server was super sweet but kinda MIA, but llke I said, i handled that when needed.

Note: they added 20% auto tip to my party of 4. Check your check.

I’d give it another lap based on the other meals...

My spouse and I recently celebrated our anniversary with the kids at Sakhuu Thai in Plano, and while the food and ambiance were generally excellent, a couple of minor issues slightly dampened our otherwise lovely experience. The food itself has a lot of vegetarian options and the presentation, taste was truly impressive. We started with the Tom Yum soup and dumplings, both of which were delicious. For our main courses, we enjoyed the Drunken Noodles, Cashew Curry, and Khao Soi. I was particularly impressed with the flavorful Khao Soi and the perfectly balanced Tom Yum soup. Everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. The restaurant's atmosphere also contributed to a special occasion feel. The service was attentive, though this is where our minor issues arose. When we ordered the Tom Yum soup, we were informed rather firmly that we would be provided with an extra bowl for sharing a cup of soup. Similarly, when we requested a mix of tofu and vegetables in our curry, we were again told that this customization would also incur a $3 charge. While the food was undoubtedly worth the price, these extra charges felt a bit like nickel-and-diming, especially considering Sakhuu Thai is already a pricier restaurant. It detracted somewhat from the...
