Sukhothai Restaurant

Went here for dinner on a weekday, they are one of those places that are open for lunch then close & open back up for dinner. We got there at 5pm when they opened & was warmly greeted by staff.We had cheese rolls for an appetizer, they were okay. More of a personal preference, these are made with cream cheese & carrots. More savory than that tinge of sweetness my mind had me expecting, but yes I read the menu - cream cheese doesn't necessarily mean sweet. I do feel like they were a bit small for the price & they were warm instead of hot. The sauce was really good though.I had the beef pad thai, it was excellent. Big portions, the beef was juicy & flavorful. I also liked how it wasn't overwhelming with the sauce but just enough. This came out pipping hot, delicious. My friends had the chicken pad thai & basil chicken which both of them enjoyed their food. We were happy with our choices.We were there until maybe 8pm, the entire time we were there no one else came in to dine but there had been maybe four or five come in to get take out. This place has been here for a long time & the owners (I assume)/staff were so incredibly sweet! Very attentive, so welcoming, I hope that business is sustainable. Atmosphere wise, it's a little basic, worn down, but that's also the area that it's in. Old Arlington. I would still recommend trying them out if you can!

A lunch visit on a weekday. Very simple and humble ambiance when you walk in. 11 tables that seat 4 (one table seats 6) in the establishment. Easy to find, sitting in between the Dollar General and Al's Hamburger. Plenty of parking. Ordered Golden Fried Tofu, which was crispy on the outside and light on the inside. The accompanied House sauce was very bland, even with a few chili flakes and peanuts. For my lunch entree, I ordered the Stir fry Chicken in Oyster Sauce. It was bland even at medium spice. The onions stood out as crisp and good flavor but the chicken and mushrooms in the oyster sauce woefully fell short. Overall a mediocre experience unfortunately, I was really hoping to find a local Thai restaurant in my neighborhood that I can return to often. Overall, I would not recommend this place, while the bill was only $24, (with an ice tea), seeming to be a good price, but the dishes were lack luster in taste and depth, compared to what I was hoping for.

First time trying this place and to start off, it's a nice and clean restaurant. We were greeted by a very nice lady who was also the waitress. We were given some time to look at the menu, since we were ordering takeout. We ordered the spicy noodle and Thai fried rice. And while we waited for our food at one of the tables, the waitress came to give us some ice water. She was very accommodating. The food was good. Wish I took pictures, but we were hungry. I like how some of the fried rice had some crisp to it. I wish there were more noodles in the spicy noodle dish, but it was yummy. The portions weren't that big, but for the price, it wasn't bad. Definitely a place to try if you're craving Thai food and/or are in the area.

This really is the cutest little place inside, a small and cozy restaurant that just smells soooooo good because their food is so good. They have Thai and some Chinese dishes. Being gluten free I stick to things like curry, pad Thai or spicy noodles (both rice noodle dishes). Pad Thai is usually a little sweet for me, but even so it's undeniably delicious. I also recommend any of the curries but I probably like the red and Panang the best. And you know me, tofu is typically my protein of choice. Don't forget sweet sticky rice with mango and coconut ice cream for dessert.

Only a few blocks away, its my go to Thai restaurant. Been a patron for 15 years. Have had all the appetizers, most of the soups, the curry entrees, pad thai, and the pineapple fried rice. All delicious and no complaints. Plus its BYOB if you want to eat in.

I have been going to the restaurant for several years because I have always enjoyed the food. It has been tasty consistently for at least 20 years. I had the.Tom Ka Ga, their cheese, spring rolls, and some green tea. And then I had the Massaman curry with chicken. All of it was delicious. It was perfect because the day was very cold and everything was warm and tasty.

While in Arlington for business, a coworker and I stumbled across this place for lunch. I love trying new Thai places so this was a treat. The waitress was lovely. She took the time to explain the dishes we ordered and was very nurturing to the other tables. However the food was lackluster. I ordered panang curry with combination meat and the Tom Kha soup with chicken. The soup was a a decent size cup and had a good flavor but there was something questionable in the soup. I'm not sure if it was the skin of a vegetable or a very tough piece of chicken but upon delivery to the table, it was front and center in the broth. I have ordered a lot of Panang curry in my life and never have I had it served without vegetables. The sauce was flat and very thin. Panang curry is usually bursting with flavor but this was not. We went on a Wednesday at 12:30p and the lunch menus were blocked out with white paper. I found this to be uninviting but we had already committed so we stayed. I would be interested to know what's on the lunch menu because my bill for lunch was nearly $30.

My husband and I have been coming here for over 20 years. I have never had a bad meal. Our favorite Thai restaurant- Hands down!!

Looking for something new to eat we chose Sukhothai and enjoyed our meals for the most part. They were tasty but just not enough chicken in either my green curry; it was mostly sauce and not enough in my husband's pad thai too. Egg rolls and crab Rangoon appetizers were just ok.

The food is wonderful with the best quality of any Thai food restaurant we have tried. I ordered red chili stir fry with chicken and cheese rolls. My husband ordered Tom Kai soup with shrimp and pad Thai. It was all delicious as usual. The spices are always just right impeccably prepared. Please don't let the strip center and furniture fool you! The food is delicious.
