Rave Reviews
"The best Chinese Food on Door Dash in the Middletown area, period. We've tried them all, and Asian Restaurant is consistently the best. Their crab rangoons and white meat chicken dishes are crispy and delicious. The Szechuan Crispy Beef is phenomenal. can't recommend this place enough for Chinese takeout."
"Wow!!! Best vegan chinese food I've had in a really long time! Ordered the Vegetable Dumpling (6 pcs) and the Vegetarian General Tso's Chicken & definitely don't regret it (I'm really picky about my General Tso's as well!!) Came fresh & with a good portion! I used to really like ANOHO in Middletown (before they closed) and I think this is the closest I've had to their food. Will definitely be ordering again and making sure all my vegan friends give this place a try!"

"Always amazing. DoorDash or in person, I've never had bad food here and I've been coming here for about a year. Broth is always flavorful, brisket is always soft and shreds easily, and the appetizers are just as good. Definitely recommend :)"
"Pineapple fried rice is very delicious. The mixture of pineapples and curry spice creates its unique flavor. The fresh vegetables are crisply cooked, and the cashews and raisins add a unique addition to the flavors and texture. I like the way they make the shrimp they tender, savory, and clean. Not like most restaurants that serve tough, dirty, or rubbery large shrimp."

"Fresh ingredients with a nice presentation. I ordered a couple of appetizers, papaya salad, ginger soup, black rice with mango dessert, and a coconut green tea. The Fresh Rolls were smaller than some other Thai restaurants. The papaya salad had a good amount of papaya and wasn't too spicy. The coconut green tea drink had a slight taste of tea and a nice, sweet coconut flavor and came with a paper straw, but it didn't arrive with the lid covered. Maybe a different type of cup would be better for delivery. "

General Tso's Chicken Dinner Combo was crispy, PIPING hot, flavorable, and fresh. Wish it had some broccoli nut otherwise perfect. Instructions were followed to a T. 8. Crab Rangoon were crispy, hot, and fresh, too - had a really nice flavor. Great homemade Duck Sauce (1/2 Pint) and they gave me twice as many Fried Noodle than I ordered! Delivery was super fast. 10/10."

I was nervous when the original owners of Sukhothai retired, but the quality of food has continued to be outstanding plus the addition of the Chinese menu makes ordering here a win for everyone on the family. Food comes faster and hotter than anywhere else we get takeout from in town. We order here nearly once a week and have yet to be disappointed.
