Suda Thai Cuisine - Arlington

If you enjoy authentic Thai food, steer clear. This place is as Americanized and watered down as they get. Example: their Phad Kee Mao and Phad See Ew taste identical and they (obviously) ought not. But to an undiscerning uncultured palette who knows not what Thai food should be, it's just meh...stir-fried noodles with goopy brown sauce stuff, and a variation on over-cooked soggy veggies. This place REEKED of Nag Champa incense which was burning profusely at the shrine non-stop while we were dining. We couldn't smell anything else but the incense, which is not advantageous for an establishment selling food that is supposed to be super enticing. However, considering how awful their food was, perhaps that's the reason why?

Really good chicken Pad Thai and 10/10 on the coconut prawns! Highly recommend! I haven't found a better place in the area.

Love this place!You can place a takeout order online very easily! Never had a problem with it too.It's a bit on the smaller scale size wise, but big things come in small packages, and this place packs flavor with no shortcuts (or very well infused shortcuts).Tried their Pad Thai on the first visit and man this was the best I've had from all over this nation! Some places will use ketchup in their Pad Thai and most fail miserably with it. If I ever taste ketchup in Pad Thai...sorry but you are off the radar for me man. The noodles and all was just on point!I ordered it with 3 stars and I can handle some heat. This one was just right with the 3 star spice. Even though 3 stars seems a bit less than other 3 star heat from other places.Second visit I had the Tom Ka with chicken and again...on point! Flavor all around just got along and made the dish. Chicken was good.3 stars on the heat level of the Tom Ka and it was consistent with the 3 star spice on the Pad Thai.To make the 3 star spice consistent between 2 dishes just tells me this chef is well aware of what they are sending out and takes pride in shipping out quality.Can't wait to order their Thai Beef Salad and seeing how that makes it harder for me to decide what to order next!
