I ordered from here frequently last year, very sad to say I did not have the same experience and won't be risking it again.
I always order mango sticky rice and yellow curry, which are both usually pretty tasty and are well-portioned. Once I made the mistake of getting the ahi tuna, it was awful, super fishy. It was definitely old, I didn't eat it. I also got pad Thai once that smelled horrendous, like a stinky pungent garbage-like aroma. I've eaten pad Thai hundreds of times and it's never smelled like that. All that said, I love their yellow curry and it's close to my house (free delivery).
Tonight I ordered tofu yellow curry ($18) added a scoop of rice noodles, and mango sticky rice ($8) + a side of sticky rice. Essentially it was $30 for one main item and a dessert. I paid and tipped $5 cash.
An hour later I get my food, excited and hungry! Sunday night is my takeout night and of all the places in NOLA, I chose SukhoThai.
Here we go:
Mango sticky rice $8: tiny container with flavorless rice covered in flavorless coconut milk. You get 1/4 of a mango, they don't even give you half lol
Yellow curry: half container of thick gravy-like super spicy (I ordered mild-medium), uncooked carrots, and mostly tofu. Wasn't edible alone, it was like a bullion cube of flavor with a gritty thick texture.
Luckily, I had a can of coconut milk, I added half to each dish and sugar to the mango sticky.
So, I call the restaurant and was greeted by the manager. I told him what was going on and he responds "the curry container is always half full because once you add rice then it's full". Sounds like a rip off to me but okay. I told him last year it would be almost full and for $18??? This wouldnt cost $18 to make a full pot. It doesn't even have meat, mostly carrots and tofu. Manager refunded me the curry but refused to hear any of my criticism. He also said "you didn't leave a tip so I can't refund you that too", first of all yes I did it was cash. Second, what does this gross food have to do with the driver!? He did his part, it's not like he cooked it! That was so shady to me. The manager says he packed my food and didn't see anything wrong, so basically he didn't believe me and refunded and rushed off the phone.
Thanks for my refund but I actually just wanted good food. It feels like a scam how little food you get for so much money, and for how many ingredients/effort is skimped. I wouldn't pay $8 for this curry, let alone $18.
It's sad they are like this now, I won't be coming back. :(
