Coco Thai Kitchen — Restaurant in Suffield

It's been four years since we've eaten in at Coco Thai, so we decided it was time to try their pick up service. Sadly they don't cross the bridge for delivery, or we would be way more regular.

But, for Valentine's Day, which we postponed until the weekend, we did the online ordering: steamed shrimp spring rolls, Tom Yum soup, and deep fried duck.

All were very, very yummy, and it was a treat to have our meal in the comfy coziness of home, since Coco Thai is small and not so comfy.

We liked the meal so much, a week later we ordered again, this time getting pork dumplings, pork and veggies, and a beef in coconut curry sauce with veggies, which was outstanding.

This could become a habit. :)

We love Coco Thai Kitchen for its Crispy Duck Salad, but on this visit, we decided to try a couple of their signature dishes, while still enjoying their delicious duck as our meat of choice. I mean, how many places have duck in several of their menu choice?

My husband ordered the Crispy Duck with broccoli, carrots, bean sprouts, onions and scallions in brown sauce, and was so pleased with his meal. Everything was cooked perfectly, and the special sauce was very tasty.

I wanted a curry, so chose the Roasted Duck Curry, partly because I can't resist pineapple with duck, and it also included bamboo shoots, bell peppers and basil in a red curry sauce. The sauce was just spicy enough, and duck and veggies were perfect.

Pretty sure we are switching to hot entrees from now on.

And, next time, I want to try their veggie pancake...

We visited this place for a Saturday lunch and was pleasantly surprised by their dining room area. It was small but cozy with about 4 or 5 tables that could seat about 12-15 people. We quickly learned that this is predominantly a take out restaurant with frequent foot traffic for pick up. The staff was friendly, but the service was poor with long wait times. We had to go to the counter to ask the waitress to take our order. We also waited 20+ minutes for two lunch meals and an appetizer. The service was also poor because the server never offered to top up our drinks or to check on us after serving our meals. Very unusual.

Four stars because the food was excellent. I can see why Google has this at 4.5 stars. Would return with an expectation of a lengthy wait. Lunch special prices...

My first impression of the place wasn't very good - it was smaller than I expected and has hardly 4-5 tables.

The food was pretty good and I give it about 3.5 stars. The highlights were the drunken noodles (we had the vegetarian version without the fish sauce) and the kui chai (fried pancakes) - they were tasty but very oily.

The rest of the items could be a lot better. The dumplings were mushy since they weren't pan fried, but they tasted good. The spring rolls were okay. The mango tango was good, but there wasn't much sauce. The portion of the drunken noodles could be a little better for the price plus the noodles were a little over cooked and broken down.

This place could be a lot better if they just paid a bit of...
