I
can’t
believe that it took me this long to select the great Sukho
Thai for SL4 lunch. There’s no question that Sukho Thai
is a campus favorite. Either you love Suhko Thai and their yummy
beef basil or you love to hate Sukho Thai and everything
else the American dream stands for. Sukho Thai is a mom-and-pop
Thai restaurant that’s located right behind campus within
2 minutes walking distance
from the language building. They recently added a drive-through
window for convenient Thai dining.
I’ve
always been intrigued by the Sukho Thai. Only recently did I
learn that Sukho Thai is a province in Thailand. Check out some
fascinating pictures of the real place: http://www.hotelthailand.com/sukhothai/suk_info.html
. David and I were in Bangkok this summer, and I thought that
at one point I had spotted the original Sukho
Thai, but it was only a look-a-like.
We had a lot of fun in Bangkok—it’s
a beautiful city.
But we also had some not-so-fun experiences.
Our real
Sukho Thai lunch got off to a rough start when Kevin announced
that he was feeling nauseous, and would we please excuse him
from eating at Sukho Thai. This was disappointing, considering
that just as he roots for UNT athletics, Kevin is also an avid
Sukho Thai supporter. Kevin was there in spirit, though. Kevin’s
essence, or imago KevRo, will represent him in this
review. Henry made it clear to me that when we arrived at Sukho
Thai he was breaking an ancient, covenantal ban on the establishment,
“I want you to know that I’m doing this for the
sake of our students. For their sakes I am going to endure this
lunch and contribute to the review. After this, the ban is back
on.” It seems that Henry broke his pact with other Sukho-haters,
which is no surprise since he does tend to flip-flop.
I want to
mention that Russ was a very good sport about my selection,
and he cleaned his plate of spicy
green bean tofu. Even in the face of stinging
wasps and nearly knocking himself unconscious on the dangerous
protuberance that
hung overhead, Russ was supportive. Henry did not take the event
in stride, “At first I thought just our taste buds were
in danger, but then I realized that we should fear for our lives!”
Henry had the Combo #1—he
chose vegetable tofu, spring rolls and fried rice all for a
mere $3.95. You can’t beat that price with a chopstick.
Sukho’s pricing habits are peculiar—when they opened
up, their price was $1 per entrée item. Now inflation
has steadily caused the price to rise to $1.30 per entrée
item.
 Sukho
Thai is a place where they sell rice and other unidentifiable
items. 
The
best Henry could come up with regarding Sukho Thai |
There is
a new feature called the Combo, where you can get more items
for a cheaper price. imago KevRo ordered a conservative
white rice and red pepper beef basil because it has cancer-cell-killing-antioxidants,
“If the wasps don’t sting you, then the red peppers
will!” imago
KevRo really enjoyed himself, but I don’t think he’ll
be a guest reviewer very often, “This is the best cotton-pickin’
beef basil I’ve ever had. If only I could eat here every
day!” I branched out for once and ordered the pad
thai and an order of veggie spring rolls. I have never eaten
the pad thai at Sukho before, and was mildly disappointed with
it’s oily feature. This is just more empirical evidence
that I should never, ever branch out at restaurants where I
already have a favorite. Usually I order the vegetable tofu
and white rice, and if they are serving chicken satay then I
ask for some peanut sauce. Their peanut sauce is awesome—especially
when you put it on the white rice.
Sukho
Thai is worth the experience—you’ll
definitely want to tell (or warn) your friends all about it.
