A neighborhood Thai place snuggled into a little strip mall. Stopped in just before noon on an overcast Thursday. Good timing! There were two parties seated when I walked in. By the time I returned from washing my hands, there were 4 plus three walk-ins and the phone was ringing. Popular place with plenty of regulars. The to-go orders were a steady stream the entire time I was there but the one lady seating & taking orders was polite, friendly and efficient at dealing with everything. Bravo! I was greeted immediately a grabbed a booth (there are 7 plus two other tables. The menu is massive. Well organized with some pictures. Ordered the Pad Ped for my lunch which comes with hot & sour soup. Vegetarians beware: the hot & sour soup has meat within. But it's tasty, as was my main course. The music played quietly in the background where it belongs.

Order: -Hot and Sour Soup (free, included in meal) -Crab Rangoons -Pad Thai, medium spice, with chicken, without bean sprouts. Overall, it was an excellent choice. Their portion size was large enough to make two meals worth if appetizers are included. Their Hot and Sour Soup was very good, and their Crab Rangoons were the second best of any Thai restaurant I have been to. The Pad Thai was different than I'm used to. This one seemed to contain more oil and was stickier rather than wetter. The flavor seemed to lean more towards the peanuts and spice as opposed to the usual sour. It's different, but enjoyable.

If you are craving for some authentic Thai food then this is the place! Not only the food was awesome but they helped us select the right food! Guided us on the ingredients as well! Yum food! The Thai curry was fabulous! Fried rice was ok but pad Thai was delicious! Overall worth the visit!

The service is attentive without being obtrusive. A varied and interesting menu. The flavors in the Tom Yum Soup were complimentary and took “ comfort food” to the next level. I also enjoyed the Thai-themed art. I discover this unpretentious restaurant by pure luck; Sunrise Thai is my new fav Thai restaurant. Come and get spoiled!

Our go to spot in the area for Thai - the food is delicious! Staff is extremely kind and personable. Prices are fair for the quality and portion sizes and they are able to get your order out quickly.

Was in the area and decided to try Sunrise Thai. I ordered Veggie Pad Thai and a Spring Roll. The person who provided my order was nice and the inside of the restaurant itself is very cozy and beautifully decorated. My Pad Thai was delicious. Veggies could have been a little more crisp/ fresh but the flavor and sauce was great. I asked for medium heat and it was perfect. They did not dissapoint. My Spring Roll was a little small but every restaurant is different. It had a peppery taste that I don't normally find in my Spring Rolls but it was hot and crispy as I did eat it in my car soon after getting my order.

What this place lacks in curb appeal is made up for 10x over in quality. One of the best Thai restaurants I've been too locally! John R has to be one of the most underrated streets for the most authentic international food destinations in just a few miles. Okay so I ordered some very American generic menu items. I had just been craving some very specific flavors and I wanted to see how the basics would taste before getting to adventurous. I am on disability and can only afford one good outing a month and can't afford to buy food that tastes bad. At first glance the Tom Kha w/ shrimp I ordered was smaller than I expected, the vegetables were large rough chopped. However it has most buttery coconut broth with vegetables that had been brazed perfectly with vibrant flavors and fragrance. This Tom Kha was spring time in a bowl! The Pad Thai with chicken looked simple and decently portioned. The layers of flavor in the dish were surprising. I could taste the smokey grilled chicken throughout the dish. It permeated the layers with a complexity that only experienced chefs hands could create. The next time I come here I will get much more adventurous. This place is amazing and has earned my confidence and respect.
