Sakhuu Thai is an upscale establishment with modern flair and harmonizing aesthetic elements that boast an inviting, charming, welcoming ambiance and core of energy in the heart of the Shops at Legacy in Plano. Cannot believe I have been missing out on this gem. It seems to be the perfect backdrop for an enjoyable solo afternoon lunch or evening dinner or with Family. The intricate detail and intimate dining space speaks for itself. Upon entering, you are instantly transported to a different realm of consciousness. There is a vibe here and you can certainly feel it when you walk through the door. The playlist song choice is solid as well and sets the mood for your meal. The Menu is in the Format of a Passport. Such a cute idea!
The dining experience was truly life-changing. We were immediately greeted with a smile, seated, and served by Christi. We mentioned we were first-time visitors and noted that we had an 11AM OpenTable Reservation. She was attentive and receptive to our needs without being intrusive. She also checked on us during our meal. Most noteworthy dishes were the Chicken Bao Bao(warm, fluffy, sweet and savory baked dough with equally flavorful and exotic meat simmered in coconut milk on the inside), Spice Level 2 Red Curry Chicken with an impressive depth of flavor and meat to curry ratio, and the tastiest Spice Level 2 Chicken Pad Thai with delightfully subtle tamarind undertones that I have ever had. Mom and I ordered the lunch special which included one spring roll and a choice of Salad or Tom Yum Soup(which contains mushrooms and I unfortunately can't have since I am allergic). We will have to return for dessert another time since we were full from the appetizer and entrée. The Tom Yum Cocktails were beautifully presented, well-executed, and packed an earthy zing and delightfully invigorating punch to the palate with a spicy kick of ginger.
Met the manager - Tan. The team was visible on the floor. He was friendly, engaging, and handcrafted our Tom Yum Cocktails himself at the bar. We got to chat with him for a bit after our meal and it was clear that we will be returning as frequent patrons. Having lived in the DFW Metroplex for 23 years, we have been to several Thai Restaurants. As first-timers, this place - in terms of food, service, and ambiance - definitely did not disappoint. This will, undoubtedly, be added to our list of rotations of the plethora of Thai Restaurants in the area.
