Brown Sugar Thai Cuisine

Fantastic Thai cuisine with large and fresh portions. The staff is very friendly and attentive, and the price is very reasonable. There is a small dining room, but takeout is also available. Everything I've had there is good, so I would recommend ordering multiple dishes and sharing family style.

Came here with my daughter and husband for lunch. I had gotten takeout from here a few years ago and the food was really good. When I went this time everything was terrible! The girl in the front was so rude, we wanted to dine in and were told we could however everything would be served in to go containers and we had to clean up after ourselves but we were already planning to dine in so we sat down, decided what to order, then we had to go up front, order, pay, then pick a table. The same girl brought the food to the table but didn't say a word, we all thanked her every time she brought something but she still never said a word, she just put everything on the table and walked away! The wonton soup was mostly just leafy greens and carrots with only 2 wontons and the whole thing was basically flavorless. The drunken noodles again has no flavor and the texture was disgusting and mushy. My husband and I both got the country style pad thai, it was supposed to be the spicy version of the dish however it was actually sweet and not much else flavor wise but somehow tasted like seafood even I got chicken and he got pork! I spent $35 on 2 pad Thai, 1 order of pot stickers and 1 can of soda and it's was the biggest waste of money ever! We will never be back, please save your money everything was terrible!

Ordered Country Pad Thai and I wouldn’t come back here. Food was edible but drenched in a sauce that does not taste like pad Thai to me. Regardless, it did not taste good. Banana blossom, Thai kitchen and Lotus Thai all have much better pad Thai. Gave this 2 stars because it’s edible

This small place blends delicious food with presentation. Sit by the city Westside of Cleveland. Has parking w plenty spaces. Service it’s pretty good and quick. Prices are not any bad.

The dining room is very clean and well decorated. Staff was very friendly and had great menu suggestions. The food was very, very good! Service was excellent as well as timely. We were seated quickly, ordered fast, and our food was cooked quick. Great spot for lunch when you're on a time budget! Our waters were constantly refilled, which helped since we all ordered spicy dishes. I highly recommend the basil fried rice here, it's fantastic. We'll definitely be returning soon!

On the west side of Cleveland sits this small, delicious Thai restaurant. The sushi was good and the seafood with curry was the perfect amount of spice. Fast service and good prices.

Thai tea made from a powder, not brewed. Not worth the cost, wouldn’t purchase again. I didn’t expect that from an actual Thai restaurant. And you’re only getting about 10oz since they usually load the cup with ice.

My new favorite Thai restaurant. My wife and I loved their food. Staff is very friendly. Big fan of the Crazy Noodle (Drunken Noodles) full spice with chicken.

This place is pretty great. The shumai is great, and the Panang curry with beef is seasoned perfectly spicy. The ambience is run down, and the service didn't seem like they wanted me there.

I love their Pad Thai Country Style. Whenever I'm in Lakewood, I make it a habit to stop by and pick up an order....plus their prices are outstanding.

The ordered from here and got the chicken wings, red curry and Thai tea. It was delicious. The service was quick and I came right on time. It was cute in there. I would come back.

Yesterday I decided to try this place using a food delivery service. All was going well until I noticed it was now more than 30 mins since I'd placed my order and decided to call to confirm my order at that location (so if know if it was there if the other location) and see if the establishment was running behind. To my surprise, I was informed that there was no record of my order and to call the other location. I called the other location and was told the same thing, "we don't have your order." Now, I'm confused and decide as a food safety measure to cancel the order. I wake up to find out I've been charged for the order I cancelled because the restaurant itself confirmed they didn't have my order. So I am charged for food I confirmed was not placed at their restaurant. I cannot make things like this up. SMH Taking this as a sign to avoid going here. Duly noted.

Ordered through door dash. Everything was sweet - summer rolls, country pad Thai, pad see ew. Friend got the mixed vegetable with chicken and didn't like it. Would not order again. Thai ice tea was good

I love Asian food. Thai is not my favorite, but Brown Sugar has never disappointed me. I ordered food for ourselves and dear friends, and our expectation were met, completely

This was once a go-to place for Thai food. But since covid, the owners seem to have given up. But I am getting ahead of myself. I had been meaning to visit Brown Sugar for many weeks and finally got the opportunity ... I was in the area, and thought I would pick up some carry-out for dinner. It was 1:35 on a Tuesday afternoon. Their website says they are open from 11:30 AM to 9:30 PM. The sign in their window also says open Tuesdays 11:30 AM to 9:30 PM. However, I found the door locked, and the lights turned off ... clearly not open. When I got home, I wrote an email to them. I was hoping for an explanation, if not an apology, but I got no reply at all after writing twice. So not only have they lost my respect and my business, but they have earned this negative review. So here we are ... and, as it turns out, the food reviews have gotten increasingly bad over the past few years. I guess in a way, I'm lucky they were closed, since I didn't waste any money on bad food. Still, the posted hours should be accurate and, if a company doesn't care enough to monitor and reply to emails, then they shouldn't put a "contact us" link on their website ... really two very basic concepts. I expect this place and their other location in Lakewood (with similarly poor reviews) will be closed by the end of 2025. Based on recent reviews and my own experience, it's obvious the owners have given up and no longer care. Thankfully, there are several other excellent Thai place nearby (I recommended Raan Thai in Fairview Park, but that's another review ).

My wife and daughter have been wanting to stop here because it's literally down the street from my house and we see it everyday we decided to stop in today me and my wife ordered the same thing the pad thai country I would have to say I was actually disappointed I ordered the pad thai with pork I got chicken that had the taste of seafood I couldn't taste any flavor but seafood not sure if the seafood and other proteins are being cooked separately but it surly taste as if they were cooked in the same pan that is not good if someone has a food allergy that wasn't the only thing I was disappointed in the lady at the front who took our order was kind of rude we were very polite said hi thank you and so on and so forth im not sure if she was upset with the day or what but she didn't say a word to us just brought our food to us in to go containers and walked away but we're diner in sitting our the table I would have to say the food was not cooked properly and I didn't have very good service when I dined in here.

The food was so average The chicken was clearly old and taken out of the freezer and so was the shrimp The soft shell crab was one small piece surrounded by loads of vegetables and expensive at $ 12 You can't sit and eat out of containers, and that's there sit in .

I don't know what has happened to this place. It's been quite a few years since I've visited. I went in at lunch to pick up some summer rolls. It was dark inside, as if they were not open. The carpet was filthy and the decor tired. There was no one inside between noon and 12:30PM on a Thursday. The female at the counter had pieces of bloody band aids and what appeared to be Mighty Patches stuck on numerous areas of her face and neck (like when you cut yourself/have a pimple). She didn't seem to happy to answer questions or provide service. I should have walked out at that point. I ordered summer rolls and I could see her making them in the kitchen with no gloves. It did not appear that she washed her hands either. As I was waiting, I analyzed the dining area and well, it was disgusting. I dropped my keys behind a chair and there was a pile of hair in the corner near the desk. The summer rolls were to have shrimp. They gave me a half of a shrimp, cut length-wise, and then sliced it again and opened it up to look like 2 shrimp??? So, instead of receiving 2 full shrimp, I received a half of one shrimp that was paper thin. Seriously. I ended up throwing my order out. Avoid this place at all costs! I went over to Thai Cuisine on Detroit. It was spotless, bright, delicious, and I interacted with an appreciative employee.

Insanely good. Three of us split a few things and all orders were delicious. These are some of the best crab rangoon I've ever had. They MELT! The tofu has an excellent taste and texture, and a chicken pad Thai never disappoints. The torch salmon was impressive and filling.

This place was fantastic years ago. We stopped in on Saturday for lunch. The gal at the counter said we order with her then will be called up when it's ready if we wanted to eat in. That wasn't a problem. After ordering and paying we sit down and see the sign. After looking around I wish I hadn't ordered and paid already. It was NOT clean. The windows were filthy, there were spider webs, and the sign tells me to clean up after myself when they can't be bothered to clean the seating area. I ordered chicken pad Thai "country style" so it would have some spice to it. Food was served in carry out containers. Not only was there no spice , there was no flavor. We are did not even eat a third of it and threw our meals out. Yes we cleaned up after ourselves. Never again .

Hands down the best Thai restaurant in Northeast Ohio. Whenever I want comfort, it's Brown Sugar Thai. Family owned, fresh, made to order and authentic. Whether you are in the mood for sushi, pho, rice noodles, seafood...spicy, mild, vegetarian or vegan. I love the variety of the menu. My husband swears by the Thai style basil, he loves the heat. My go to is the pad sei yew with scallops. The noodles are handmade and amazing, the scallops are always fresh. Did I mention the service. It doesn't matter if the restaurant is busy the service is top notch.

The food is average. Nothing special and WAY overpriced. This is my first and last time eating there. My son doesn't really like the vegetables that come on the side of the dish, so I requested them to be put in a separate container rather than omitting them. I was charged $2.10 extra. For what....? The small styrofoam container? lol Won't be returning.

I love Thai food and haven't had it in so long due to the pandemic I wanted to give these guys business and try it out. I ordered on the phone which initially threw me for a loop because they take orders for both restaurants and you have to be ready to tell them which location (Rocky River or Lakewood). They told me 10-20 minutes; I arrived in seven and it wasn't ready yet. I was encouraged to see a steady stream of customers going in/out while I waited on their outdoor patio. I assumed they would get me or contact me when the order was ready; no. After a while I went back into the restaurant and it was sitting on the counter - not sure for how long? I had pad Thai with tofu and veggies and panang curry with tofu and veggies. Both were just ok; it didn't seem to scratch my itch for Thai food though, unfortunately. I'm happy to help local restaurants but I'd probably try another place first before going back.

A lot of really great options in the area so I figured I'd change it up and try this place out Sadly, the food to me wasn't anything spectacular and was slightly below average. We got edamame to start, which it's impossible to mess that up, salmon sashimi, and our two entrees were squid pad Thai and garlic salmon. Shouldn't have ordered salmon sashimi from a Thai restaurant. It wasn't fresh and had a bad aftertaste. Stomachs been growling up a storm -__- Garlic salmon was good, but kind of overcooked and vegetables on the plate didn't really come together. The squid pad Thai was the strangest one. I'm not sure if squid pad Thai is different but this wasn't even the same noodle you'd typically have in a pad Thai. We were served what looked like undercooked dried top ramen. All in all.. wouldn't really recommend this spot to anyone :/ there are better Thai places in Cleveland and Avon that Id personally recommend.

Took an hour at least for order to be ready for delivery. Noodles were too thick for me compared to other noodles I've had with pad see ew. Thai ice tea was great just wish the ice wasn't filled to the top so that I'm able to enjoy more of the Thai tea.

Brown Sugar has been a favorite with my family for a long time. We've gotten take out from here so many times during this whole pandemic and I just realized I never left a review. Today I got the drunken noodles with tofu for the first time and they are delicious. I will get this again. Other favorites of my family are the yellow and green curries, veggie pad Thai, and pineapple fried rice. Everything always has great flavor and pretty fast too, I can't remember it ever being more than 30min for pickup and we usually have a bigger order. I will continue to come to this restaurant!

The rice had a curry taste when it was a stir fry. Threw me a bit. There was not a lot of chicken in the pineapple stir fry even though I added chicken. The crab ragoons had to much filling and were small and my family did not like them.

Always a pleasure eating here! I took my parents here before they had to fly back home! They always have exceptional service!! My dad got the pad Thai, my mom got the Siam rolls, and my husband and I ordered the California maki as an appetizer and both got the lunch boxes with yellow curry chicken. The Thai iced tea is always great too!

Unfortunately I have to lower my rating for Brown Sugar. In the past I thought the food was pretty tasty, but a recent order from there was a bit lackluster and definitely did not have the Thai flavors I was expecting. I did go to Thailand this year so maybe it's not fair to compare, but other restaurants like Thai Thai in Lakewood hold up to authentic cuisine so I don't know... The Pad Thai was bland in looks and taste. It was missing that lime and slightly sweet flavor from the sugar. It also seemed more like the noodles were tossed in just some light oil. The Massaman Curry, while it had some light heat, was missing that cinnamon spice flavor and slightly sweet taste even though it had chunks of pineapple in it. Definitely not a rich sauce. Also the friendly lady who worked the front is no longer there it seems. Meh. Food wasn't bad, but I have definitely had better and will probably go elsewhere for my Thai cravings in the future. Sorry Brown Sugar :(

So rude and so unprofessional and arrogant It's like they literally don't want you to come back there EVER!!!! Never understand how such places are still in business but OH well just another place to never try again !!!

I was craving Pad Thai the other night and decided to try out Brown Sugar Thai for the first time. I placed a to-go order over the phone and picked up my order. The staff was very friendly and the woman who took my order over the phone made sure I did not have any allergies/ food preferences. I picked up the tofu pad thai I ordered and was satisfied with what I received. The portion was fairly large for the price, however, I have had better pad thai in my life. I was disappointed there were no veggies in my dish. If I were going to order pad thai again, I would probably decide to try out somewhere else, but the food WAS good overall.

I'm officially done with this place! I so wanted to support them and once thought they might have switched the cook or something so the food was off. However, they failed again today. I ordered the chicken country pad thai and it didn't look too appetizing. This time, it was so soggy as if the cook had poured a can of pad thai sauce in one order. All I tasted was the peanut sauce, and it was quite oily too. It left a very unpleasant aftertaste. This has gotten to be the worst pad thai that I've ever had!!! Sorry, I won't return to Brown Sugar. I'd rather drive 30 minutes to Strongsville to get authentic Thai food from Sweet Mango than throw my money out the window at Brown Sugar. I'd end up dumping my food in the trash because it's inedible.

Ordered the 5.50 sake sushi. For two pieces of nigiri (which is how it should of been advertised) I did pick up and it was slapped together. Also unappetizing as well. I had the chicken Siam rice that tasted okay but was very disappointed which was overly priced for the bad quality. 2 stars just because the Thai iced tea was really good

Portion size: 5 stars, as I got two meals out of it. Taste in comparison to other Thai places: 2 stars, as my yellow curry vegetables sat in a watered down, tasteless soup. My boyfriend really enjoys the place, and the pad thai is pretty good, thus allowing for a balanced 3 star review. This place would be much better if the portions were a little bit smaller, as well as a price reduction. $12 for chicken and vegetables with rice is too much for mediocre thai takeout.

I just tried this location for the first time and think the Lakewood location is better. My takeout order was fast and the staff was very polite. The restaurant was empty at 7:30 on a Sat night, but looked clean and updated. I ordered the mango fried rice with pork. The mangos were hard and the pork was dry. Otherwise, it had good flavor. I also ordered the tofu pad Thai, which was ok at best. It had nothing more than noodles, tofu, peanuts, and a couple over cooked scallions. The tofu was like fair food and a bit rubbery. I've ordered both of these items at the Lakewood location and have had a much better experience.

We ordered from Door Dash. Not only was our order tasty and meeting our expectations, but it arrived 20 minutes sooner than expected! We have also eaten at this restaurant in person and had a positive experience then as well. Delicious.

We have been there for dine in and now got take out with door dash. For one - it was very quick! Door dash estimated 50 mins and it was 30. Prices are normal for Thai, food is very good. And for our dine in they let us hang out with friends for a few hours playing games. Good job brown sugar.

Everything else is good except the curry is really disappointed.... it come like a soup literally clear sauces. Last time I went I disappointed in noodle soup but they i gave then a second chance. The curry just so bad but Crazy noodle is good !

My daughter and I went for dinner after an outing together. Many, many patrons order and pick up to take home but their dining area is really quite nice with convenient parking for the building in an adjacent lot. Service is attentive and knowledgeable about the menu, which is large for such a small place. Sushi, salads, curry, noodle bowls, pad Thai and pan fried dishes. I have been here many times and was never disappointed. I recommend the soft shell crab appetizer or the spring rolls. Soups are delicious and can be expanded to make a meal on their own. Tonight I had the Scallop and eggplant. A huge plate of food arrived with a mountain of rice on the side. I confess, it was so good that there was none to box up and take home. I'm not a huge sushi fan but I can tell by the picturesque garnishes that someone back in the kitchen knows what they are doing here. No question that it would not disappoint you. They do have bar service and our water glasses were never more than a third empty. Very reasonable price for the quality and presentation.

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE! They are so friendly when you come in. They make you feel like family ! If you are looking for an amazing Thai restaurant look no further! Also there bubble tea is amazing highly recommend it! I

This is our go-to Thai place on the west side, and I'd stack it favorably against any Thai in Cleveland, for that matter. The eat-in service is excellent. There's only a few waitresses, and one seems to do the majority of the work, and she knows not only my entree, but how I like it specifically prepared. One thing I especially like about this place is that they'll make my food as spicy as I want, something difficult to get in many Cleveland Asian restaurants. The only weird thing is their system for measuring heat. They'll ask you to specify "one to five". But they've made mine anywhere from 15 to 25, according to the waitress. The portions are large, so we usually get another lunch out of a dinner portion, if we show a little restraint. Which is difficult, because the flavor is exceptional. My only food complaint is the Tom Kha soup is somewhat bland. It's good, it's not great. They typically have whatever manufactured pop music is current on their muzak, so if you're over 35, be prepared to be annoyed. Parking isn't wonderful...they compete with a dentist office and a bar. The dentist office tows, so be careful which space you choose. The bar patrons pretty much ignore the signs which reserve some spaces to the restaurant. But if you don't mind driving around back, there are always spaces available.

It's...okay. The food is tasty but nothing exceptional. I don't plan on eating there again.

The portions are small, but the taste of the food is good. The sushi isn't great. Stick with the Thai dishes. The vegetables are very FRESH and even the leftover veggies stayed crisp for two days after!

I love the country Style Pad Thai. It is like Pad Thai I haven't had anywhere else in Cleveland and I won't order Pad Thai from anywhere else. The serving is huge, literally has been 3 meals for me. They have a nice assortment of apps too like the summer rolls which are basically a meal. If you like Thai, go ahead and order from here because it is delicious.

Recently had takeout. Food was pretty good. I ordered the shumai and potstickers to start with and both were good. I just wish you would have got a bit more for the cost. The dipping sauce was very good and made both. The chicken teriyaki was good, but very different than its Chinese cousin. The sauce was very thin. Portion size was good.

Great spot! Wide range of options from Thai cuisine, to bubble teas and even sushi. Tried several items on the menu all great. My parents eat here at least once a week, and are clearly huge fans as well. Reasonably priced and large portions. Recommend the sushi trio!

So I have been here just two times and both times I have been extremely impressed and satisfied with not only the quality of the food, but the overall presentation, value and customer service. This is a wonderful place to go for lunch or on a dinner date. I highly recommend any Sushi as well as noodle dishes. Great food and nice experience. I will be back again soon!

Ate here with my son tonight for the first time. The the potstickers were very good and my son ate the sushi like it was his last meal ever. Both were tasty. And the service was on point.

The order pick up process was quick, easy, and I was able to eat my food warm. I ordered tofu pad Thai and they asked me immediately if I wanted it to be made vegan, which I love!! The tofu was so crispy and there was a nice amount of it. It was a little bit sweet for my taste and I wish it had more veggies. That being said, it was delicious and I was able to make two hefty meals out of it. I look forward to trying the green garden entree next time as I believe it has more veggies.

Have ordered takeout a number of times over the last two years. Food is very good and the service is great! Called to place an order at closing and they encourage me to still place the order. This is my go to for Thai anytime I am in the area.

Had the crab Rangoon, was well cooked with lots of filling but a little sweet. Pad Thai was dry and also was a bit too sweet. Chicken satay was good. Very tender and juicy. Thai iced tea was great. Probably won't come here again as there are other Thai places I like better. But it wasn't terrible.

I came here a few weeks back for dinner with a friend. We both really enjoy Thai and sushi. We didn't get any sushi, but we sure enjoyed our meal. The garnish on the plates had us both trying to figure out what it was. They were so pretty but only one could be eaten, unless u like eating turnips. There was so much food that I had left overs. I was pumped they had crab Rangoon. And it was amazing. Crispy not dry and just packed full. Our Thai dishes were fantastic. I got mine less spicy because I can't handle spicy. There was a father and his daughter sitting at the table behind us. She had to be about 10 or 11. She ate sushi! So if she ate sushi you know the food was great. The staff was nice and always checked on us to make sure we didn't need anything. The only thing that was kinda annoying was there were no lights in the bathroom. Not sure what was up with that but flashlights on phones worked.

I hate to be a negative Nancy but my advice is go to Thai elephant. So he wanted sushi, I wanted Thai so we came here. No dine in allowed so we did a take out order. She definitely had an attitude which is so annoying, I mentioned it to him in the car while waiting for the food and he said he noticed it. He said he was doing to say let's go. I wish he did. I order 3 apps, 3 sushi and two entree. $80. The crab Rangoon and Cali roll was the only thing good. We don't order beef or chicken from Asian so we did all seafood, salmon, shrimp and scallop. So the drunken noodles were the worst offering, 100% in garbage. The red curry had a horrible rotten seafood smell, 100% went in garbage again. Literally were eating an old ice cream cake from dq for dinner. I wish I could somehow get a refund lol. Instead of trying to call and complain, I'll just post this. Overall the worst dining experience I've had since I can remember.

Not impressed. Crab Rangoon was bizarre and the pad Thai was way too sweet. Won't be going back.

Absolutely the worst Red Curry Chicken and Tom Kha Gai Soup I have ever had . Let's start with the Tom Kha Gai Soup It taste like a watery melted Coconut Milk Shake , It was so SWEET,I Honestly ate about 5 spoons and just tossed it. Still have the sweet taste in my mouth and that was over an hour ago UNEATABLE. SO THE Red Curry Chicken ,the chicken taste like it was par boiled sitting in a pot of water waiting to BE throWN into whatever dish was next, absolutely no flavor and was like chewing well, dry boiled chicken. THE SAUCE WAS THIN LIKE SOUP!! I MIXED THE WHOLE TUB OF RICE IN IT AND IT WAS FLOATING AROUND. It was also way to SWEET. It taste like they made the Tom Kha Gai Soup mixed in some Curry paste added some boiled old tough chicken and mixed with Vegetables. I ended up draining most of the watery sauce and just are the rice and Veggies.I will say the Veggies were good.I have had both Red Curry Chicken and Tom Kha Gai Soup all across the US and this was the worse by far . If anyone else had had either dishes please let me know if this was a one off .I was surprised to see so many good reviews. $17 for some Veggies and rice with a hint of sugary red curry flavor .VERY DISAPPOINTED

Pros: lots of vegetarian options. Nice staff who are willing to answer questions and be accommodating of special diets. The vegetable fried rice was nicely flavored. Cons: bland food. Maybe My request for mildly spicy was taken to an extreme.

5 well deserved stars. I thought I had found the best Thai in previous joints but Brown Sugar is officially THE best. It's no frills while still feeling cozy and welcoming. Their menu is seriously huge and packed with the original favorite dishes along with variations of the OG Thai favorites. They even have amazing sushi!! In my experience, when a restaurant offers both- they rarely master it all but Brown Sugar delivers in a big way in every. single. dish. BONUS- they serve alcohol. The staff is extremely friendly. My new go to Thai place... every time.
