Sookjai Thai Restaurant - Victoria, British Columbia

Definitely the best Thai place in the city in my opinion! This restaurant is family owned and has a large menu of authentic dishes and amazing service. The portions are great for the price and all the dishes have a great kick. Anything from the menu is worth a try and ... defiantly coming back! Place is quite small so I would recommend booking a reservation or coming a bit early. - What we ordered: 62. Phad Thai Goong 44. Ocean On The Land 63. Phad Thai Gai 52. Gaeng Gai 61. Guay Teow Phad Ped 78. Coconut Rice Read more

I revisited Sookjai after a couple of years since my last visit. I noticed that the amount of bean sprouts in the crispy pork was smaller, but still tasty. The portion of chicken was a bit smaller than expected for the price, although the chicken itself was tender and juicy. ... Despite these minor issues, I would revisit to try other dishes like noodles. EDIT*** During this visit, I asked for more bean sprouts for Moo Gratiem (#34) and was pleased with the generous amount provided. The Phad Thai (#63) was phenomenal - it had a fiery, smoky scent and the taste was exquisite! It struck the perfect balance of salty and sweet, making it the best Phad Thai in town. Additionally, the Golden Cup appetizer was also fantastic (#1), the sweet and sour noodle (#61) was okay- it was a bit ketchupy, but still good. The service was a bit slow this time. It seems like only the owner's daughter was "working", while other two takes their sweet time. Read more

If you don’t have a reservation, be ready to wait to eat the yummiest Thai food in about 1-1.5 hours after you waitlist yourself! Had some amazing green curry fried rice, coconut rice, great mango cocktails, noodles/pad Thai, fantastic tapioca and mango desserts too. Service was pretty quick. Totally worth the wait ... :) Read more
