Our first experience a few months ago brings us to Sukhothai this evening for a dinner again. Surprised to see that the same person who greeted us last time with a big smile did not show any courtesy this time. Rather, we felt unwelcoming there. What could have possibly happened? No idea really. Never going back there again.
I've been to this restaurant several times at different times of the day and I've always left feeling great about the experience of dining there. Service is quick when needed to be (lunch) and yet when meeting up with friends at dinner, we didn't feel rushed at all!
My latest dinner here was shared with a family of 4, the youngest was about 5. Everyone seemed to have enjoyed their meal... both at their table and at ours. Maybe the problem isn't with the restaurant but with the child.
We arrived shortly after 7PM when most people were just getting served their food so I'm not sure why the service was very slow. It took at least 20 minutes before we had our orders taken, then another 20 minutes for the food to arrive. The waitress was friendly enough, just slow getting to our table. I ordered one very stale Canadian beer and was given a quite a hard time when I sent it back for a Thai beer (I guess its my fault for ordering a Canadian beer in this type of restaurant?)
