About

Bar: Full bar

The crowd at Sukho Thai is a blend of locals and visitors, artists and neighbors, with a laid-back vibe that's welcoming to everyone. This family-run spot in the Marigny has been serving authentic Thai cuisine since 2003. It's the only Thai restaurant in Louisiana certified as Thai Select Premium by the Royal Thai Government. The menu is broad, with curries, noodles, seafood, and a full bar including Thai cocktails.

The heat is real here. One review notes that "Mild" here is equivalent to New Orleans hot and spicy. Regulars recommend the Dancing Shrimp Salad or Green Curry. The staff is friendly and charming. Sukho Thai also has outdoor seating and is dog friendly. Reservations are accepted.

Sukho Thai is in the Marigny neighborhood near Kerlerec Street, a short walk from Frenchmen Street's music scene.

“Delicious Thai food- neighborhood restaurant”

The Thai food here is delicious. If you want to enjoy your meal, request 'mild'—at this restaurant, mild is as spicy as New Orleans hot. Recommended dishes are the Dancing Shrimp Salad, Shrimp in a Pouch, and Green Curry (or anything else on the menu). It's a neighborhood staple, popular for lunch and dinner. The waitstaff is attractive and friendly. In New Orleans, you don't need to worry about who is gay; it's similar to San Francisco in that almost every place is somewhat gay-friendly. Many waiters in the city are artists, performers, writers, teachers—creative people who are very accepting or gay themselves.
