"We´ve been eating Thai food from the very beginning of it´s success story about 40 years ago when the first restaurants opened in Germany.Since then we´ve tried Thai food all over the world (mainly in Thailand, UK, Germany)Our amazing summary after half a lifetime: You find three of the best Thai dishes here at the Sukhothai (former Bangkok) restaurant perfectly cooked and even better than in Thailand:Jungle Curry (Waldpaste), outstanding tasty though hot (for unexperienced very hot) and always slightly different in its taste. You rarely find that dish in other restaurants (ingredients are not very common and for most people it´s too hot)Basil Chicken (Basilikum), a bit differently prepared than the usual Thai basil, hot, sometimes very hot, always excellentSoup Tom-Yam-Gai, in many restaurants you might find it either just hot or revealing a one dimensional taste. Here it´s much more, you have to try it once in your life. (If you don´t like it, then carry on with eating pizza and pasta)Most of the other curries and the Thai beef salad are above-average, too.Coktails are also to be recommended, the lunch menu offers a good value for money.Nevertheless the fried starters platter and the Massaman (untypically coming along with pineapple pieces) are a bit disappointing. However lots of people like that "sweet" Massaman here, but we don´t.A much better Massaman curry you´ll find at Freiburg (and of course other cities...), but that´s another story..."

"This review has been a long time coming. Been coming here for about a year now at least once a month or so. The food is good, hearty portions, definitely value for money, salad comes with the meal. The house wine is a nice Greek...house wine. What makes me come back time and time again is the great family that own this place and my favorite comfort food dish at a great price. I may have a local passport but I am and always will be a foreigner, but they make me feel at home. They always got a smile on their faces and a kind word for us. Almost every time I take forever looking over the menu, I always wind up choosing out of one or two of my favorite dishes, it is just one of those things a real comfort I can count on, and they never get irritated by that habit of mine and they don't rush me no matter how busy, so thank you for that. I only wish they had some nice outside space, if they did I would be there almost the whole summer also. My only tip for them is the lighting in the back area of the restaurant, it needs to be done like the front to give it that cozy feel, it is the reason I try and request the front oh and perhaps being closer to the friendly family Oh and a Greek night would be fantastic! Tastes are adjusted for the locals on some dishes, keep that in mind. Atmosphere is not chic, it is very homey, but that being said fresh flowers on the table and candles, so it has the charm and romance of a little Greek restaurant Heck I am now craving my favorite dish Bifteki, I may just have to go tonight.... Thanks for the wonderful meals and great memories! See you soon!"

"War heute erstmals -auf Empfehlung- dort, um zu frühstücken. Sehr schön und liebevoll eingerichtetes Lokal mit Gegenständen aus der Schulzeit als Deko, z.B eine große aufklappbare Tafel (hier für die Tagesangebote genutzt), eine alte Schul-Landkarte sowie große Aufhänger aus dem Chemie- und Biounterricht. Die Garderobe sieht auch aus wie in der Schule, mit Namen über dem Kleiderhaken. Ich liebe solche Details. Auch die sonstige Einrichtung ist sehr einladend.Der "hauseigene" Hund, ein niedliches kleines Tierchen, bildet übrigens das Empfangskomitee. Muss man schon mögen, aber mich stört es nicht. Zeitweise liegt der Hund auch in seiner abgezäunten Ecke und stört wirklich niemanden, Das wird schon ganz ordentlich gehandhabt.Die Frühstückskarte bietet eine umfangreiche Auswahl. Wir haben uns für die "Doppelstunde" entschieden, ein Frühstück für 2, was nichts zu wünschen übrig lässt. Das leicht angeröstete Brot (ein Graubrot, evtl. Steinofen?) ist der Hammer; ich denke, beim nächsten Mal verzichte ich zugunsten des Brotes auf das ebenfalls angebotene Brötchen. Und ein leckeres Croissant gibt es auch dazu. Hier schaffen sie es auch, aus dem von mir nicht wirklich geliebten Plums Kaffee einen ordentlichen Milchkaffee und einen wahnsinnig tollen Cappuccino brulee (mit caramelisierter Zuckerschicht) zu zaubern. Die restliche Karte liest sich sehr interessant, es werden -mit dem tollen Brot als Grundlage- Pausenbrote für jeden Geschmack angeboten sowie Kuchen und kleine Mittagsgerichte. Das alles ist nicht ganz preisgünstig, aber dennoch jeden Euro wert. Ich war noch lange satt. Hier war ich sicher nicht zum letzten Mal."

"We have been in this restaurant on a Monday evening for dinner. We have seen the restaurant some time ago and looked nice, so we decided to give it a try. After minutes waiting for a table, we finally got a seat as soon...as the family seating there got up. Unfortunately, the waiter did not notice us until I did call him explicitly and asked him to at least tidy up the table the dishes and glasses from the previous guests were still there. After that we got the menus and the waiter asked us what we wanted to drink. I did reply that we would need to read the menu we wanted to order some wine and asked him to wipe the table he didn't do it when clearing up and there were still remains from the previous guests. this made him upset and I am still wondering why. Once we were done with reading the menus we did finally order drinks and food. We ordered some appetizers and a couple of warm dishes, explicitly asking for the appetizers to come as soon as possible. After minutes waiting, I had to call again the waiter and ask about our appetizers mixed appetizers dish, does not require any cooking so should have been done quickly. The waiter was kind of upset about my request, even though I was asking politely and after a quite long wait time. Finally, we received our appetizers and following also the warm dishes. The food was ok, but nothing special. The appetizers should have come with an ouzo but we didn't receive it, we thought that maybe they would have brought it after dinner. Once we finished the main course we decided to order a dessert. We opted for a slice of cake, which was actually quite good. Even here, waiting almost minutes for a slice of cake that just needed to be placed on a plate seem to be too much, also given the fact that many tables were already empty and there were not so many customers anymore. Finally, we asked for the bill. Unfortunately there were two errors in it. We first noticed that we were charged for two wine carafes, while we just had one. After asking the waiter he did check with the responsible and she confirmed that that was a mistake. Then he did subtract the amount not due and showed us the new total. We did pay also left some tip, but probably the waiter thought the tip was not enough since he almost thrown the euros change on the table and left without even saying thank you. Then, while looking again at the bill we noticed that we were charged euros for a chicken souvlaki normal price was Again we did call the waiter and told him about the error and again he did ask the responsible about it. She took the bill and checked again with the menu. Of course she did notice the error and gave us the difference except for cents, more tip for the waiter I suppose. We left the restaurant and went back home, quite disappointed. We will never come again of course, since we were unwanted guests: all tables around us got an ouzo shot on the house together with the bill, all except us"
