Delicious food. Good service. Amazing atmosphere. Mango Salmon Salad was one of my favorites. Coconut pudding is also yummy. Most tastefully decorated Thai restaurant in the area. If you want good Thai food with great vibes, this is it!

We had the most unforgettable Thai meal today. From the moment we walked in, it felt like stepping into a luxury resort in Thailand — spacious, beautifully decorated, and full of tropical charm.We ordered the Crab Meat Fried Rice and Basil Duck. Every bite blew us away. The fried rice was fragrant, light, and packed with real crab meat. The duck — crispy and perfectly cooked — was served on a bed of stir-fried green beans with basil sauce, so tasty that you can finish several bowls of rice with it!What truly stood out was the incredible attention to detail — both in presentation and in flavor.! tasete You can feel the care they put into every dish.And special thanks to Patrick, our warm and thoughtful server, who made the whole experience feel like dining with a friend. This place is a hidden gem — we’re so lucky to have found it!

What a delightful late lunch experience at this little Thai gem! The romantic ambiance and beautiful decor instantly transported us. Every dish was excellent, and the service was great. It truly felt like a little Thai escape on an early June afternoon.

Stopped in on a Sunday. The staff are all very friendly and helpful, though the service is not fast. It can take a while to be seated, to get water, and to get your meals. Each person's meal arrived with almost a 10 minute interval in-between. The food was very flavorful, but it is not southern Thai heat levels. The Chicken Satay was great, the peanut sauce was good too, it is a little thicker than some other restaurants. I ordered the Garlic Pepper with Salmon at a 4 out of 5 heat level, and compared to other Thai restaurants in the area, it was a 1 maybe a 2. It tasted very good, it just wasn't very spicy. The Drunken Noodles were very good as well, but also not very spicy. So, again, the food is very good and the staff is friendly and helpful, but the service wasn't very fast when I went, and the food isn't all that spicy. But that's ok if you're not in a big rush and you don't want your food to be too spicy.

Wonderful Thai food with some unique menu items in an upscale relaxing atmosphere. Tried Suwun for the first time and glad we did. Hard not to think we were army the Ginger Man, but they have done a very nice job with renovations.The menu had something for everyone with lots of appetizers and mains. The three of us shared summer rolls made either with tofu or shrimp. Served with a nice peanut based dipping sauce. Although we did not try it a coconut mojito went by and looked amazing!The choice of entrees was difficult given the extensive menu. I felt like noodles and though I’m not sure that udon noodles are Thai, I had the udon noodles with shrimp. On most of the dishes you can choose your protein, priced accordingly. One companion had one of the “wok” dishes, eggplant with chicken. The eggplant was violet in color and cooked perfectly. Our other companion had fried rice with tofu, that unfortunately came with egg given that he is vegan. Able to eat around it. Servers had a bit of trouble refilling soda and water but not a big deal.We shared a dessert, mango with sticky rice, basically a whole mango, sliced with a delicious block of sweetened coconut rice. Perfect to share.Will be back and already have recommended it.
