Yammie!! My personal favorite thai in the area. Very good, very fresh and beautiful flavours. If feeling like going out for diner, lovely service and the owner is a great human being. A true pleasure to go here and the setting and quality of food makes it a pleasurable experience. Definitely go here if you haven't been yet!
Really happy with dinner tonight. We dined in a group of four and had the mixed entree including curry puffs, spring rolls and chicken skewers.
For main we enjoyed massaman beef curry. It was tender and tasty đ. Calamari which was delightfully tender, gang dang prawns and pad thai which was also delicious.
Hope to be back again soon!!
Impressive! We went here for dinner and were simply impressed by the food and service. Our waiter was a lovely gentleman who was awesome at recommending a protein for our dishes and knew the menu well. You could tell he was passionate about his job and loved the food. We had prawns and calamari-both of which were cooked to perfection. The Tom yum curry and coconut rice were stellar too. 12/10 would recommend. I donât eat much Thai food but I will be going back to this restaurant for sure.
Came here to dine for the second time and yet again, it fails to disappoint. Staff are super friendly and welcoming and I love the ambience of the restaurant. The roti with peanut satay is lovely and next time Iâll get more of the sauce because it was to die for. I had the âpad metâ which was fresh and full of balanced flavour rather than heaps of chili. Will definitely come back or at the very least, pop by for takeaway :) thanks for having us. A pleasurable dining experience
By now, youâve probably got the impression that Pallavi and I are indeed creatures of habit. One we try a dish that is irresistible, it is pretty much impossible to convince us to order something different. At Sukhothai, the Pad Satay Stir Fry with chicken is a dish that is non-negotiable. When deciding what to order, we are essentially deciding on what we will share on the side of the Stir Fry, and whether we will eat it with rice or roti. When we came in this time, we went for the Crispy Pork Belly with rice for two, in addition to the Pad Satay.
There's a reason places exist for a long time.Have ordered delivery from here several times and it never disappoints.Â
Dined in once; the decor and service are on point as is the food.Â
The owner is great and staff are friendly. Must try: Gang Keow Warn (Green curry) w chicken. They actually make it spicy when you ask for it hot too!
Food, atmosphere and service all a win. Good for a small dinner or a big party. Give it a go if youâre local, wouldnât travel too far to go here though.
A hidden jem in Northcote!
The best Thai Restaurant in Melbourne.
Quiet, very friendly staff and fantastic food. Good value meals that taste great!
Pak kra pao, the stir fried basil with pork mince meat, very well balanced and flavoursome, like the stir fried veggies.
Panang red curry duck, not very spicy, good flavour and very match with rice.
Will visit again for other dishes.
Came here once after hearing everyone declare this as the best Thai in Northcote but I still prefer Thai Tiki Hut as it's closer to me. Ambience is nicer but food is same quality and a little on the expensive side.
Sukhothai Northcote is an institution in this part of town, and has been serving up a an assortment of Thai dishes since 1989. Itâs survived the ever evolving Melbourne dining scene and made its way through an array of food trends for one very simple reason â the food and service are good.
Best Thai in Melbourne hands down!
All staff make you as comfortable as possible. Very quick service and outstanding food!!
Definitely will be returning shortly!
Yummy Thai food. Best around and my favourite for over 10yrs. Great service and always fresh foods. Love the mixed entree and prawn red curry.
Love this little Thai gem - food always great , love the pork belly. Service always with a smile, nothing too much trouble. Never had a bad experience in many years, a prooven  winner. Always look forward to coming back.
The service here was unique, with minimal staff but they made it work and were super friendly. The food was incredible. Best Red Duck Curry I have had. I wish this was my local thai place.
Amazing food and atmosphere. The owner is a really nice guy!
They also play cool music during dinner!
I come here quite a bit, it has never failed!
Discovered by chance, Sukhothai amazed us with with its good food and hospitality. Red curry and Stir Fried chicken with chilli paste & cashews were flavoursome. Portion sizes are bit small compare to $$ paid.
The North Remembers!
+3.5
Has good food. Pad Thai is always a favorite of mine there, and the curry is also good, except I find they struggle with getting the food out in time with larger groups. Also do not bother asking for coffee: when I ordered a latte, I think the waiter needed to look it up in the dictionary.
Love this place and wish they delivered! Highly recommend the red curry and the prawn crackers are delish!
The larb was a little disappointing as takeout as the lettuce goes very limp.
Lovely food (heavenly Pad Thai!) lovely staff, cosy atmosphere, and super-quick waiting time
Enjoyed it!. I tried there Pad Satay it was lovely! Will go again and eat at this place the flavours are wonderful.
Consistently high quality. I regularly get takeaway from Sukhothai and have never been disappointed with their high quality and delicious Thai food. Good range of options for vegetarians too!
Dined out at Sukhothai for an upmarket meal, as opposed to less formal Thai around Northcote. The decor is lovely themed Thai. The service was a little unattentive, but overall had an alright time at this eatery. I would highly recommend for lovers of curry.
Consistent quality. My partner and I dine here regularly and are always impressed with the quality of food, the ambience and the polite and helpful waiting staff. My partner's book club meets here every month and the 10 members dine before their discussion. All have chosen Sukhothai as one restaurant they are happy to visit once a month.
AMAZING! My partner and I have tried almost evey thai restaurant in melbourne and nothing beats it! taste of food is great! A little pricey but well worth it ! Service is fast and friendly. I keep going back!
Thai-rific!!. Food, atmosphere, service & ambiance are all excellent. Have been there a few times now for both dine in and takeaway and the food just excels! Massaman is the best ever!
Always enjoy the food and service. We have dined here over twenty times.
The food is always delicious, prompt and fresh. They pay careful attention to our food allergies and preferences which gives them an extra thumbs up.
The owner is slightly awkward which might make you think he is being sarcastic- he's actually a very nice man and reading the other reviews made me realise others interpret behaviour differently. He's always been kind, funny, friendly and helpful whenever we have come in.
Very happy to have our children there, even though they constantly visit the toilet! They are open to family groups and were very accommodating when we had an extra four people turn up once.
Best Thai. Love this place!! Sukhothai has the best and most authentic Thai in the area, the atmosphere is always sedated and relaxing. I honestly cannot fault the food with pad thai and gang dang being favs, mixed entree is also a very good choice. Staff are fantastic with menu questions.
Will be taking the family there again, soon!
Well done guys!
We haven't been to this restaurant for a long time & it was comforting to know that it had not changed from its high standard of service & food. The chicken gang dang was perfect as was the chicken pad thai. Loved it.
One of the best.. I have been to many thai restaurants across melbourne and Sukhothai delivers. There is an extensive menu and banquet options that really incorporate traditional elements of thai food. The Service was excellent with the waiter and owner being very informative and friendly which enhanced our dining experience. The vibe of the place was great, it had a nice private and romantic feeling to it which led to extremely good ambience again enhancing the dining experience. Ultimately a collective effort from the food, service and the design of the restaurant itself put it in the top tier of thai venues in melbourne.
My Rating 9/10
Great thai. We regularly get takeaway from here - My favourite would have to be the pad thai and the gang galee.. Amazing! I'm not a fan of spicy food but i my friends love the green curry as well!
Top marks. This place is a gem tucked away in Northcote. With humble surrounds and a pleasant atmosphere - it would have to rate highly as one of Melbourne's better Thai restaurants. I'm a big fan of the authentic flavours and excellent service. Check it out.
Romantic lighting, great tasty food and comfortable spacing around tables. Add in friendly service, good sound dampening and very reasonable pricing and I can't think of many better places to go on a date.
Green with envy!. Favourite place for Green Curry Chicken.. that's not to say the rest of their menu isnt great, in fact it's all very delicious, we dine in and love to order to pickup for taking home too!
Read the mixed reviews but overall a great dining experience. Food was tasty, staff friendly.. Ill definitely be back!!
Amazing place.. First time I ate here was because my girlfriend insisted I try it, as her parents are frequent and veteran customers.
I was very pleased as their quality of food and service more than lived up to the reputation I had heard so much about.
I've been back several times since either for a quiet dinner with the girlfriend or for birthdays and celebrations.
Will definitely be eating here for years to come.
Brilliant Thai food. First time at this restaurant in Northcote.
Greeted at the door by the owner. Well to dimly lit. Tastefully decorated without being kitsch. Interesting menu with all the Thai favourites and a couple of twists thrown in for variety. I had the Sukhothai Paradise, it was fantastic. I asked for extra hot and was not disappointed. Wide range of beers available with local variety well represented. Service was prompt without being rushed. Very polite and friendly staff. Pricing was very reasonable.
Its now on my favourite Thai restaurant list. Planning on going back very soon.
I would recommend this
Thaitastic. Phad Thai is delish one of the best I've had in my search for Melbournes best Phad Thai.
Great food... Nice environment prawns were fantastic ....
We love this local Thai, great service, great fresh tasty food...the decor needs an update though, let the pink walls go!!! Bests pad Thai around so will forgive the pink walls!!!!!
Superb service and extremely tasty food using fresh flavours. Was sad when it left it's previous Fitzroy location, only to find that it's even closer to home now! Definitely recommend it to all Thai food fans.
Lovely place. This is now my favourite Thai restaurant. The staff are so friendly and the food is really tasty! I really enjoyed the prawn spring rolls and massaman curry.
We will be back!
Pretty good Thai food with excellent service!! The woman serving us was a total gem, very sweet and attentive and gave us great suggestions for dishes to try. Will definitely go back :)
Great food, friendly service.. We keep coming back here and it is getting busier so obviously word is spreading. The food is lovely and the staff are very friendly.
I love this place with all my heart, a quiet, warm and sumptuous atmosphere, wonderful people and the food is sublime. Sukhothai has been serving my family the best Thai food for decades for birthdays, anniversaries and regular take-aways. They are also responsible for helping bringing to Melbourne world class Thai food since the eighties. They will be deeply missed â thank you Sukhothai for all you have brought to us. <3
First of all, the ambience wins my heart. I love the way they decorate the place. Comes to food, we had an amazing Pad Thai and Tom Yum. On the side we have satay and Por Pia. They are all amazingly delicious! Kudos to the chef who cooked and served our food.
One of our favourites - great fresh tastes and good value.
