Spicy Sugar Thai - Long Beach

I came to Spicy Sugar last night with my partner when we were in the Long Beach area. I'm so glad we decided to stop here! As soon as we walked in, we were greeted with smiles and told to pick whichever seat we want. The server very promptly brought out water and these amazing, little wonton crisps with three choices of sauces. The green spicy sauce was my favorite to dip the crisps in. For starters, we ordered the green curry dumplings and the duck spring rolls. The dumplings came with veggies on top and a green curry sauce. The sauce on the dumplings was to die for. The duck spring rolls were light and tasty; and the sauce to dip the rolls in was delicious as well. For our main, we ordered the panang curry with chicken. I really enjoyed the flavor of this dish and how it had pumpkin in it. Their portions are generous for a dish, so I was both full and satisfied by the end of the meal. The service here was wonderful. Every server was so friendly and hospitable. The servers stayed on top of their game, throughout the entirety of our meal, from refilling our water to making sure we had to-go boxes,I loved everything about the interior design of spicy sugar. The picture of the girl on the wall was pretty, as well as the plants, the elephant decorations and the artsy display of garlic on the wall. I'm excited to come back and try their pad kee mao, duck larb, the Thai curry dog and their mango and sticky rice. All their dishes looked so yummy. You should definitely check out Spicy Sugar for some excellent Thai food!

We stumbled into this gem. My man and I decided we wanted Thai food and had another restaurant in mind so we yelped and took a win. This was defiently a recommended spot. The food was amazing From the cream cheese ragoons to the crispy duck rolls and the crispy wings. I ordered the stir fry with shrimp. The service was great and inviting.We will defiently be back

Delicious authentic Thai dishes, but not delicious enough to wait 1.5 hours for. Came here for a Friday dinner at 6:30pm and thought it was going to be a quiet night with the husband. We ordered 4 dishes and were given a heads up that it will take about 15 min to get our food. Next thing we knew it's been 30 minutes. We see a lot of people waiting for Togo orders and every table filled but with no food. Togo orders were going out first, as it seems. Finally got 2 of our orders (garlic crab fried rice and pork nam took). Tip: add the green sauce to the fried rice. Both were delicious but instead of going ham on the dishes, we wanted to wait for the 2 remaining. Another 30 min later to get the fried calamari. At that point, we just wanted to go home and were fed up with waiting. Asked to have our remaining dish packed to go and just eat it all at home. It was our first time here and the wait just killed the experience for us. The wait was no surprise since they have a note at each table. Every order is prepared fresh to order and their kitchen consist of only 2 woks. But to wait for 1.5hrs for 4 dishes is ridiculous.

Spicy Sugar Thai in Long Beach is a unique take on Thai cuisine, blending traditional flavors with a dash of Western flair. It's not your typical Thai spot, and that's what makes it fun.Their Pad Thai with cheese is an unexpected twist--traditional, yet indulgent, with that added pizzazz. The Tom Yum Ramen? A great fusion dish that delivers comforting spice and tanginess.The pork satay was tender and packed with flavor, and the som tum (papaya salad) hit the perfect spice level without being overly fishy, which was a nice touch for my palate.If you're looking for Thai food with a creative spin, Spicy Sugar is worth a visit. It's a cool spot to mix up your usual routine while still enjoying those familiar, delicious flavors.

I was getting off a flight at LGB super late and needed some Asian food after spending a week on a cruise. This place was one of the only Thai places we saw open.PARKING:Decent sized lotWHAT I ORDERED:* Dry tom yum noodles with beef, medium spciy* Crispy duck rolls * Namtok pork, medium spicy* Thai iced teaFOOD + DRINKS:Dry tom yum noodles were so unique, super flavorful though a tad bit salty. The crispy duck rolls were AMAZING, like a typical fresh spring roll, but the crispy duck really made it special. The namtok pork was good, but a little bit tough. The Thai iced tea was pretty standard, though a bit sweet and could be a bit more flavorful.SERVICE:We came about an hour before closing, and they said it was takeout only, so keep that in mind. Otherwise, they were super kind and were happy to help usVIBES:Pretty small place and pretty casual. We weren't able to dine in but I could see this being a nice place to catch up with some friends or for a date night.BOTTOM LINE:Pretty solid. I was pretty blown away by how unique the menu items looked, so I definitely want to come back to try some more things, like the Pad Thai Meltdown. Don't forget to check in to take advantage of the Yelp Check-in Offer if they're still doing it.

My friend saw this place on Instagram and so we decided to give it a try. The food was so delicious! Service was a bit slow as there were only 2 waiters for the restaurant and looked like 3 in the back kitchen. Food came out slow too.We were given complimentary crispy fried wonton and three sauces after we sat down. We ordered Thai iced tea, garlic chicken wings, and duck spring rolls to start. Love the duck spring rolls. The herbs were very fresh and the duck wasn't too oily. The chicken wings were good too. For the main course, we ordered the whole fried fish platter and the pork belly tom yum ramen. My friend who had the ramen loved it. The fried fish was crispy and light. Lots of meat. It's a big portion and it was enough for two of us to share. I definitely want to return to try other dishes!

It's pretty hard finding some asian food open past 9pm in Long Beach but Spicy Sugar Thai was fun later night option in long beach (last call for dine in 10:30). I love how the place was decorated vibrantly but also felt homey-- a perfect place for a catch up with friends.We got the crispy duck rolls, dry tom yum noodles and larb salad. All the flavors were as vibrant as their decorations. I particularly enjoyed the tangy and smokiness of the larb salad-- a must get for me. The tom yum noodles/pasta was rich and savory but just a little too sweet for me (adding a lime would help). We got medium spice for this but felt we could do spicy to extra spicy next time. The crispy duck rolls were the perfect start and ending to our meal, giving us a satisfying and umami crunch and the duck was not gamey at all. The worker, which I am pretty sure was the owner, was super sweet and offered us free thai teas too. I would definitely come back to try more dishes.Note: parking is mostly street parking, keep your eyes peeled for a spot but we found a spot within a few minutes

I love Thai food and my date chose this restaurant for me to try. Since we were the only people dining in, we were sat immediately and waited on. The server was friendly and took our drink order right away. I ordered the Chicken Satay with Chicken Fried Rice. The chicken was just okay with the flavor. I didn't get the curry flavor that I'm used to and it was so overcooked and dry! The rice was also just okay. It lacked flavor and it's so simple. I did love the complimentary fried wontons they provide. The 3 dipping sauces they paired it with were the highlight of the night! They were all spicy but, sweet and flavorful. I probably wouldn't come back but, if you're in the area check them out.

My husband follows several people on Instagram and one of them recommended this restaurant so we decided to give it a try.Oh my goodness he was not wrong at all! I love the good vibes in this location. Super clean and everything is in its place. All the plants, garlic and peppers hanging on the wall and the art were beautiful and really added to the ambiance. Spicy Sugar Thai has 5 booths and a few tables in the middle on the inside and about 4 tables outside that could seat 2 people each.The staff were attentive, knowledgeable and made good menu suggestions. Customer service was on point and the prices are very reasonable. Every dish we ordered was under $20.00. Definitely a budget friendly restaurant.Before we ordered they brought fried wontons to the table with three sauces. The green sauce was a little spicy but flavorful. I think it would be delicious on eggs. The red sauce was mild in heat and seasoning. The brown sauce was sweet and sour but more on the sweet side with a little tanginess that was enjoyable. We stuck with the green and brown sauces as they were the best.We ordered the Pad Thai no protein, Katt's Special Fried Rice and the Mongolian Beef. The Pad Thai was perfect, full of flavor without being wet or overly sweet. The noodles were cooked just right, not mushy. The peanuts come on the side so you can mix in the amount you want. The fried rice with crispy bacon and sweet Asian sausage was absolutely delicious. The rice was fried but not sticky or greasy. The rice was well seasoned and the veggies still had a crunch to them. That broccoli in the fried rice was seasoned, soft but crunch at the same time, so good. The bacon and Asian sausage were crispy and well cooked. When you bite the Asian sausage it had a little bite but still tender and not salty, greasy or gritty. This was my first time having sweet Asian sausage but not my last! The Mongolian Beef with noodles and white rice on the side had a brown sauce that my husband loved putting over the white rice. Even the hot green tea was good no honey needed. The portion sizes are large enough that we had food leftover that we brought home.A 5-star location that I cannot wait to visit again and try some new dishes!
