Over twenty years ago, my husband and I stumbled upon this excellent family owned Thai restaurant in New Orleans, and we have been coming here ever since. Whenever we visit the city, We make sure we visit one of our favorite restaurants. We have traveled the world and tried many Thai restaurants, and time and time again, this restaurant holds a special place in our hearts. It’s one of the best, if not THE BEST, Thai restaurant we have ever had.
If you’re craving authentic Thai cuisine in New Orleans, SukhoThai’s Elysian Fields location is a hidden gem that consistently delivers bold flavors, generous portions, and a warm, inviting atmosphere. Nestled just steps away from the French Quarter, this spot captures the energy of downtown and the elegance of traditional Thai cooking.
SukhoThai offers a cozy, intimate vibe with tasteful Thai inspired decor gold accents, carved wood, and soft lighting make it a great setting for casual dinners and date nights. An elevated Thai dining experience in a relaxed, neighborhood setting. Whether you’re a spice lover, a curry enthusiast, or simply looking for a comforting bowl of noodles, this place delivers consistently and deliciously.
Service is professional, warm, and attentive. Our lovely waitress knows the menu well and is great at helping guests navigate spice levels and recommendations. It’s clear the team takes pride in both the food and the guest experience. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Supreeya, and the Chef. Supreeya generously offered us a taste of one of her favorite appetizers, a traditional Thai sausage with onions, cabbage, cucumber, and pork rinds in dipping sauce. It was delicious!
When visiting New Orleans, this Thai restaurant is a MUST!!!
The menu is expansive and impressively authentic. A few standouts from our most recent visits:
Panko Softshell Crab
Softshell crab deep-fried in Asian bread crumbs, with/ spring greens, spicy garlic aioli, and mango tomato chutney.
Crispy Tofu ( Vegan)
Fried tofu strips served with plum dipping sauce and ground peanuts.
Drunken Noodles (Pad Kee Mao)
Bangkok-style spicy street food. Wide rice noodles with/ fresh chilies, galangal, garlic, peppercorn & basil, stir-fried in light soy sauce with/ red bell, green beans, onion, carrot, cabbage, and tender beef meat. Packed with heat and flavor—ask for “medium” unless you’re ready for serious spice.
Panang Curry Beef
A mildly spicy aromatic Panang curry with your protein of choice, zucchini, green beans, bell pepper, and sweet basil, topped with fresh coconut milk and garnished with lime leaves. It's rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced with just the right level of coconut sweetness and herbal depth.
And for beverages we opted for Lychee Martinis 🍸
