suk jai thai restaurant

hands down best thai in whangarei.
from the kind and friendly staff to the amazing food - i’ve never had a bad experience and have been going tosukjai thai for years because of this.
the panangsukjai is amazing, the tom yum soup is never enough - we have had almost every item on the menu and haven’t come across anything we wouldn’t order again.

our first time atsukjai celebrating our wedding anniversary, i was passing and decided to take a menu pamphlet. the food looked great so we decided to make a booking. excellent service and very attentive and so polite,the food was spectacular and full of flavour. this is our fave place, the price of food isnt expensive at all. we cant wait to share this wonderful dining experience with friends and family very soon. thankyousukjai thai.

we eat regularly atsukjai. we have visited thailand many times and just love the taste of thai cuisine. whangarei is so lucky to have a restaurant with such high quality thai food and excellent service. it is not surprising that they were presented with an award from the prime minister of thailand earlier this year. well done charn and your team. our favourites are; tom yum prawn soup, mussamun beef curry, garlic pepper prawns and vegetables, prawn cakes, oyster sauce beef and vegetables, som tum grilled salmon salad and not forgetting the best chicken satay sticks ever. highly recommend the typhoon cocktail and chang beer this restaurant is a must family even travel from auckland to eat here when they can! suggest you book as this restaurant is often full.

having eaten thai food all over the world, i can honestly say thatsukjai thai is up there with the best.

as a result of a business trip in whangarei, this thai restaurant was recommended as one of many options for dinner. after checking out the reviews below, and taking each review on its own merit, the 'proof was definately in the pudding' so to speak.

first impressions; the place was almost full. i was lucky to get the last table (this on a wednesday night at 7pm). always a good sign when a restaurant is full of diners.

pricing - about the going rate in comparison to other thai restaurants i've eaten at.

service - friendly, quick. what every diner would like.

quality - absolutely beautiful! i had the mixed entree (money bags, chicken skewer, thai cakes and sorry but can't remember the name of the last one). for my main, i had one of the duck stir fries with rice. devine! and a couple of singha's. total price - $42.50.

quantity - i walked feeling very full, content and very happy.

overall, i would thoroughly recommend this restaurant. well donesukjai thai. keep up the good work and well see you next time i'm in whangarei.

my husband don and i and various groups of friends go to this restaurant often - the staff are very welcoming, the food is exquisite and the service the best in whangarei.
the overall experience makes us go back again and again and when we have out of town visitors this is the only place we will go.
in fact going again for lunch tomorrow.
well done to you all atsukjai.
cheers thank you for coming to whangarei.

we visited this thai restaurant when on business from auckland at the end of last year and sorry i haven't written my review sooner. this is a fantastic thai spot for lunch or dinner.
there were four of us for dinner.
the place was pretty busy and filling up fast, but luckily we were able to get a table immediately.
the service while a little slow in the hectic environment was unfailingly polite, friendly and we didn't care about how long things took as the service was just so nice.
we had beer and entrees followed up by our mains.
every single meal was delicious and there was nothing to fault with the food.
i wouldn't hesitate to come back, and would absolutely recommend others givesukjai thai a go. you may find it a busy hectic environment to dine in, but it adds to the fun and the entertainment.
all the other diners around us looked as happy as we were and there were smiles all around.

what a big disappointment. i've been dining and buying take-outs fromsukjai since they opened. they closed recently (for renovations they say) so was looking forward to them reopening, which they did on monday. me and hubby were looking forward to our thai fix on tuesday night, only to find our usual pad thai had totally changed. i noticed it immediately when we went to pick up our dinner. i looked at it and said "it's different", the guy behind the counter said what's different, i said this ain't the same pad thai i've been buying all this time. he explained that they had a new chef and that i would like it even more. well i didn't, in fact it was the worst one i've had yet. why would you change something that worked so well?? need to find me a new thai restaurant. damn

four of us went tosukjai 22.2.12 and we all had different entrees/soups and mains. we all sampled each others and every single meal was superb. their soups are a must to try.we have spent quite a lot of time in thailand and never had better than this.
the service was excellent, the surroundings pleasant, and all for $120 for the four of us.
this was a second time for us atsukjai's and i know that we will become regulars.
