Sookjai Thai Restaurant

Wow!! Amazing quality of food and a really exotic palette of flavors… Thai food this good is hard to come by. Truly artesanal in craftsmanship both visually and in taste. Also, plentiful serving sizes! The servers were nothing but friendly and had wonderful suggestions. The only complaint I had was that with menu offerings at these prices, it seems a bit gimmicky to charge extra for things like plain rice… while I understand charging for it, I think it should come with the larger curry dishes, especially considering the already steep pricing. Nonetheless, a really memorable restaurant experience and this place is often packed to the tee - expect a long wait and come hungry!

We showed up about 20 minutes before close and asked if we were too late to be sat. They let us right in. Staff was so welcoming, fun, and helpful the entire night. And the food was amazing!! We especially loved the mango smoothie. Servings large enough for at least 2 meals - you get your money’s worth here

I cannot put into words how good the food was. Food has no right to be this good. It was otherworldly. The peanut sauce with our satay was rich and flavourful, but the star was the green curry. It was without a doubt, the best I've ever had. I have been lucky to have had many quality green Thai curries in my rather short life....but this easily stole the number one spot. It was out of this world good. The service was good despite how busy it was, and how late we came in, and everyone was happy, and brought their A game. Phenomenal. You're doing yourself a disservice if you DON'T come here while in Victoria. An absolute must for a superb dining experience. My husband, currently rather tipsy after one of their cocktails the fizzy peach, agrees. NOW SELL YOUR SAUCES IN OTTAWA PLEASE!!! I can't go without for another five plus years... Plane tickets and lodging is expensive, ya know! Update: We stayed for dessert. Top notch.

WOW! Would return and would highly recommend!! Flavours, freshness, portion sizes are just perfect. Probably the best Thai I have had since living in North America for 18months! Cannot wait to return when back in the area We also ordered the Chicken Satay, Fresh Juice, cocktails not pictured Everything was sensational. Come here and have a great experience. Maggie was also an awesome server

I hadn’t had Thai in a while and was certainly experiencing a craving. I started with the satay which was a good size for a starter and delicious! The Tom Yum soup was also very good and a perfect size for sharing with my sweetheart. The red curry was also so delicious. I wasn’t a huge fan of the Pad Thai but overall will go again! Oh and the service was fabulous!

Food was mediocre. I had the seafood pad thai and while it was less sweet than most places a good thing it was missing some brightness or fresh veggies to complete then taste of the dish. Our appetizers never came - which we ordered first just after being seated. Place had lots of seating but reservations should be placed the day before to get a spot in a reasonable time.

Really good service to start, i really appreciate it! I was disappointed about the starters fish balls, spring roll and banana roll . It was more like what you can find in a cheap buffet so i would try a salad as a starter next time. We had a hot crying tiger a bit overcooked but nothing too crazy , a hot chicken green curry, deep fried pork this one was dry but really tasty and a red chicken curry with coconut rice on side as main courses I was really suprised by the size and we brought leftovers home. It was really good so it kinda balance with those bad starters I would love to had some green onions, cilantro and lime on the table for toppings . Cocktails are really good and you can have a nice bottle of cab sav for 20 $ wich is great as well. We appreciate the experience and with some changes, especially on the starters side i would definitely put 5 stars!

5 on 5 for service. Maggie was great and super friendly to talk to. As for the food, We found the spring rolls to be a little on the oily side but their green as well as ginger garlic curries with coconut rice were the best. Also, The pad thai that we ordered disappeared in a couple of minutes into our stomach. We felt that the overdid the veggies and the curry bowls had less curry and more veggies. Normally these curries have a different blend of veggies at all the other places I have visited for Thai food and that's the only thing I wish for them to work on.

An absolutely amazing authentic Thai experience. The flavors are extraordinary and are true to Thai culture. The offer for different levels of spices are very convenient and the specialty cocktails are just a pleasure to drink. Service was spot on and very friendly and helpful.

Great service from our male server this past Friday 10/10! Portion sizes were generous with enough protein. Bold yet unique flavors from each dish we had. Can’t wait to come back!
