"I chose this place because I had free credits, they're twice the price of local Asian spots and have gone downhill for many years. I was pleasantly surprised it was good this time!!! They have a new recipe for Pad Thai which is closer to authentic than it was. The Chili-Garlic Green Beans are always tasty. I hope they've turned a new leaf. They are so pricey, better keep it up. "
"Chang's Spicy Chicken Bowl little to no chicken, had very very little flavor even with the spices. Very disappointed. Dynamite Roll seemed poorly prepared To spend almost $80 at this restaurant I can say this place is going down hill. Becoming poor quality for the price. "

"Favorite Asian place I've had in a long time. It was perfect. love the sizes of 22. Sesame Chicken and the breading on it has a tiny bit of sweetness that I adore. My new favorite spot. Wife got Cashew Chicken and it was delicious too. Even the fried rice and egg roll were fire. Recommend."

"My office co-workers and I ordered a ton from here. The Yang Chow, Shrimp and Chicken Fried Rice dishes were spectacular. Really well made and nice portions. I couldn't tell by the photo, but the Cantonese Style Vegetarian Stir-Fried Noodles were not the type of noodle I wanted, BUT it was still really delicious. The Steamed AND Pan Fried (yes, we got both) were so flavorful. While the delivery took longer than I'd like (DoorDash), everything tasted amazing and the driver was pleasant. We will DEF be ordering from this place again soon. *** I'd love it if DoorDash could work with the establishment in order to add the dim sum menu items to DoorDash, because we would have spent another $40-60 dollars on those items were they available. *** "
"Tasty. Nice and prevalent 鑊气 "Wok Hei." If you're used to American Chinese food, then know that this will be much different; it's not a particularly crispy dish and the flavor profile is quite traditional. Expect it to be very heavy on the msg. I was pleased at the inclusion of Sichuan peppercorns, which add an upfront and unique dimension to this dish. The aromatics were a little overdone, but I can excuse that. The Wok Hei alone is evidence that this establishment employs highly skilled chefs. Overall, it's a diverse assortment of quality spices and flavors (some imported) which justifies the price. I wish it had more heat, but that's just my taste lol. Comes with rice."

Coffee Milk Tea was creamy and had great flavor, a little sweeter than I prefer but I chose the normal sweetness level so next time I'll do the less sweet. Shrimp Spring Rolls (3) were also great."

"Rice is super good in the Fried Chicken & Garlic Rice. Better than Panda Express and China Village. The bits of garlic in the rice definitely helped. I thought the spring rolls would have been bigger in the Sampler, but with the added soup and rice I was satisfied. The sauces were good, sweet chili went very well with the fried chicken. "
"Food is so yummy! Service was great and I felt welcomed when picking up my order. Portions were so much bigger than expected. I also ordered some sides with my lunch that were way bigger than I anticipated, so I felt it was very much worth the money spent and had leftovers for at least another meal or 2. I would order again and would recommend 100%!"

"I ordered the N6. Spicy Noodles. The worker was super nice and it was done in good time. However, the food is just okay. The spicy noodles are literally just pack ramen with sweet sauce, that I could've paid $2 for. The scallops are super tiny and there wasn't much shrimp. I may give this place one more try(not super likely), but I'd skip the spicy noodles."

"✨️Delicious! Everything! The Badham Milk was sooooo good, and the Malabari Paratha were *to die for.* This was my first time having both of those things, and they did wonderfully. It all came packaged very neatly Do note that the biryani's salan contains peanuts."
"This place goes above and beyond. Coming from a former legitimate chef, not just a title but a lifestyle, the people who run this establishment know what they are doing and their pride reflects in the food they deliver. And this place DELIVERS. The sauces are perfect; the Chicken Tikka Masala is thick with spices, both chutney that came with the Veg Samosa are perfect, the samosas themselves are crispy and fresh. Bringing a sauce of any kind to the table correctly can exhaust a kitchen- but they do not get exhausted here. This is what they do, and they do it best. Their rice is fluffy and prepared on point. It is all made fresh, there is no question. The Garli Naan is incredible. Most other places, it would dry out immediately. Not this restaurant. Their Butter Naan and Butter Naan hold their rich flavor and doughy grilled texture until the next day. I ordered all these things last night, and it was beyond words I can articulate to describe how amazing everything tasted and satisfied. So I ordered them all again today and it was as consistent with all the bliss they served up yesterday. The portions are on point, they made the food swiftly, and I will be returning frequently."

"Sukho Thai is hands-down my go-to for fresh, delicious sushi! I recently ordered through DoorDash and got six orders of their 31. Vegetable Roll (6 Pieces) along with an order of A3. Spring Rolls . The sushi was so fresh and flavorful, and the restaurant made it easy to ensure everything was gluten-free, which I deeply appreciate. The attention to detail and willingness to accommodate dietary needs set them apart. Every time I order from Sukho Thai, I’m reminded why I love their food so much. The taste, quality, and care they put into each dish are unmatched. Highly recommend Sukho Thai for anyone looking for safe, gluten-free options and amazing sushi!"
"I ordered at the end of the night and everything was packaged well, hot and fresh like I ordered mid-day! I really appreciate that! It's always a gamble when you order from anywhere twords closing time. Every time I order from here I forget how much I like their food. I also really like their crispy rolls and the curry puffs! This place has great flavors and a staff that cares about their food quality!"

"Five stars for taste, but only two stars for getting orders right. I've loved Sy Thai for yearsss. The food is and always has been absolutely delicious. It's one of my go to places to order from. That said, I'm done going through doordash bc over the past couple of years the restaurant has consistently screwed up orders (ie chicken when I order veggie etc), failed to include items, etc.. I'd say 50% of my orders have been wrong in some way - it's disappointing esp when you pay $16 for a dish that is incorrect and only get like $4.58 back (which I understand is a doordash issue, not a sy thai issue; still frustrating). Like I said - the food is good. So good! I don't want to stop ordering from Sy Thai, but going forward it will only be if I or someone else can pick it up to make sure everything is included and correct. "
"Ordered the Pad Thai with Chicken Hot. First off, the spice was barely there, but even that was more than the "chicken" they claimed was in the entree. I counted a total of five slices of chicken. Terrible value and spice inaccurate. Do not recommend."
