Sukhothai (in Markham by Scarborough)

Had such a great time at Sukho Thai! We sat out on the patio and everyone greeted us with big smiles. There was even a DJ and a photographer, which made the vibe extra fun. The spot is tucked into a small plaza, super easy to find with lots of parking.

Food was delicious across the board, but my favourites were the Tom Kha Gai and Masaman Beef - so much flavour and even reminded me a bit of Filipino dishes. Cocktails were a highlight too. We had the Ruby Tuesday (cocktail of the day) and the Magic Number - both dangerously tasty.

Overall, awesome atmosphere, great food, and amazing drinks. I’d definitely come back!

I used to go to the downtown location all the time and the taste is still relatively the same at the Markham location. My favourite dish by far is the Khao Soi made with beef, the beef is so tender and melts in your mouth while the sauce is packed with flavour and super delicious. Their mango sticky rice was also very good, however I personally would have made the coconut sauce less sweet to better complement the rice and mangos.

Visited Sukhothai for dinner with a group of 6. The space is trendy and nicely styled. Parking was easy. Service, however, was quite slow and felt lacking, which stood out more because they automatically add an 18% autogratuity for groups of 6. I don't mind that when service is strong, but that wasn't the case here.

I had the Khao Soi with braised beef (add +$1). The broth was creamy and flavorful, and the beef was very tender and soft. But the portion felt small for the price, and the food didn't come out hot, which took away from the experience.

We also ordered a few other dishes:
Sukhothai Pad Thai with beef (mild): decent overall
Fresh Rolls with beef (add +$1): flavorful with a surprising kick
Braised Beef (add +$1) Masaman Curry: Thick sauce, potato, and your protein of choice. It was quite rich, but tasty. There is not enough rice to balance it out. It would also go better with a few lighter side dishes.

I like that you can choose your spice level for most dishes, but overall, the experience didn't leave a strong impression. The small portion of food took over 30 minutes to come out, and with the high gratuity, I expected better service. With so many other Thai spots nearby that are more affordable and consistent, I'm not in a rush to return.

Both food and service was excellent. Decor was nice with decent music.

Came here with parents to get something spicy and it was everything I had hoped for. Good level of spice and the green curry was creamy and aromatic. It was excellent.

My only nitpick (and this is a common theme I find with Thai places) is that the rice is never enough and I always have to order an extra one. I don’t know if it’s actually not enough or just that the curry sauce goes so well with the rice that it just makes you want to eat another bowl.

Excellent food and service! Despite being super busy, they were able to accommodate my family. Honestly, this is one of the best places to get Thai food. Everyone was happy with their meal, and the portions are generous, so it's easy to share with others. The food also holds up well the next day.
