SuanThai Restaurant

I told my girlfriend and her best friend last evening that Thai food is served in ala carte style at Suanthai with a reasonable buffet prices (value-for-money for standard one at $22.90++), so they agreed to go there for a trial after reading review from LadyIronChef. Subsequently, I call to reserve a table for 3 at 8.00 p.m. so that three of us can take a short walk from Somerset (Orchard Central).Luckily, we did not order the premium ala carte buffet menu ($28.90++) because all of us hated all stuffs from the standard one except Green Mango Salad, Stir Fried Long Beans With Soya Sauce and Thai Style Fish Fillet.At first, we thought the website (www.ladyironchef.com/2012/03/suanthai-restaurant-killiney-road/) made sure all the unbiased food reviews are good to eat. However, we were very disappointed with their services because only 2 persons are working as service crew running the whole shops.Before my girlfriend paid the bill, we knew that there's nothing more we could have further with this kind of services being provided because that reminded me of the Pandan Chicken and lots of other dish were not being served, which we had ordered immediately after taking our seats outside of the shop.I really do not know why we were being treated so miserable. For example, the Satay was being served only one stick per person.I hoped that the chef can make a mass preparation on all dishes for their buffet in the future.…Read More

This restaurant was recommended by my colleague, and was really glad that I managed to try the food here.  Restaurant is small but still cozy and comfortable. Waitress here are quite attentive and friendly.  For $18.90 per adult, is value for money.  Stuffed chicken wings are my favourite as the meat is very juicy and fresh, which is boneless inside and really filling.  Outer crust is crispy and not too oily.  Green curry is fragrant and the cury gravy is thick and creamy.  Tom yum soup is more towards the clear version,but is spicy and appetizing.  Not too bad.…Read More

Bought deal coupons online for $14.50 each. After taxes, gst and free flow of ice-lemon tea for $3.90++, we ended up paying $23 for each person. Initially we ordered 1 ice-lemon tea and I took a sip of my friend's tea to try and the manager(? person wearing shirt) saw and told me that it was not meant for sharing but he added another portion into our bill without telling us. Ordered the kai lan vegetables but it did not come and we decided to give up waiting. Food was mediocre and the tom yum soup which was supposed to be one of the highlights of thai cuisine was such a disappointment. There was a lack of tom yum taste and ingredients were not fresh. It is a buffet but there are a couple of dishes that we can only order once. I'm better off ordering ala carte from a thai restaurant than paying a discounted price (yet over $20) for mediocre food.…Read More

Cheap and good buffet. their mango salad is nice, chicken nice, dessert nice, we order a lot for our buffet, very fulling meal, overall their food is not so traditionally thai except for some of the main dishes like tom yum soup, mango salad, chicken, and their dessert, for this price of buffet, i would not complain much, their portion is big. for those looking for good and reasonable thai buffet, this is the one. i also love their free flow of dessert, very nice.…Read More

brought the coupon for the lunch buffet. The staff was friendly but the quality of food really decrease as this is my 2nd visit. Must try dishes is the and the green curry . very disappointed with the panda chicken as it was served cold. The dessert and salad session is open to customers to take yourself. I only like the mango salad the rest is just normal normal. I think the standard really drop from the 1st time i visit so not recommend to visit there again and end up we have to fork out more money instead,…Read More
