Best thai in ViHi

by FifthGrouper

Went here last night for a first date and it was as good as I remember it being. Of course, you must start with the coconut chicken soup which is absolutely delicious and comes to your table in a big flaming bowl.

It's a little loud and crowded, but luckily we were able to get a table in the corner, so it was quite nice. I ordered the sweet and sour chicken (I know, I know, Michael E. can't you be a bit more adventurous than that?!?!) and enjoyed it very much.

There's a bit of a language barrier with some of the waiters, but I think it adds to the experience. We all figured out what we wanted after pointing to the menu.

This place has been around for a long time and I imagine it will keep going strong for many years. Great place to take out-of-town friends, too.

• Pros: food, service
• Cons: loud room

Great food!! Love it.

by CbgetwnGrl

I have always received great service, drinks, and food here. The environment is relaxing and romantic. It's not too overdone with decoration and over-the-top design- it's simple with quality. Not too pricey. Also, it is in a good location so that you can visit a good bar or go for a nice walk afterwards. I keep coming back and have never brought someone who was dissatisfied.

• Pros: Food, service, drinks
• Cons: parking

Nice Ambience!!!

by goodobserver101

I love going here after a nice day at the salon. The atmosphere is so relaxing and the food is simply mouth watering. I love the bar be que chicken dish it is to die for!!! I would reccomend this to all who are having a relaxing or hard day to unwind here. But beware of the parking situation it is a little irritating at times.

• Pros: Ambience
• Cons: Parking is a mess

Yummy!

by islandgoddess

I love trying new foods and this place is one of the best adventures I have taken my taste buds on!!! Surins is a trendy spot with good food and great drinks. I recommend going early for dinner to avoid large crowds and long waits. The spring rolls are awesome!! Love it!

• Pros: great food, friendly staff, great drinks, ambiance
• Cons: can get pretty crowed on weekends

excellent food and prompt service

by shannonlea08

I am not a big fan of Thai food in general, but this place was amazing. I found something on the menu that I wanted to modify slightly and the kitchen had no problems making the change and my food was excellent.

• Pros: great food, easy substitutions, totally affordable
• Cons: parking can be a nightmare

BE CAREFUL...IT'S ADDICTIVE!!!!!!!

by nightryder26

It was my first experience with Thai food, but it will never be my last! Now, since then, I've been to three other restaurants that like to call what they serve, "Thai" cuisine; however, none of them have come close to Surin of Thailand! I've tried several dishes at this restaurant, and ALL of them have been superb! I've not once been disappointed. Now, I've read that some people were a little disappointed about the wait, but heck, anything that is GREAT is worth waiting for --and this, my friends, is an experience beyond sheer satisfaction! Now personally... I've never waited more than six minutes to be seated. However, that's why I don't eat out on THE BUSIEST NIGHTS OF THE WEEK!!!! ...duh. Now, I have seen long lines on these extremely busy nights, but obvoiusly, the people waiting value excellent food. I don't necessarily like being seated directly adjacent to perfect strangers at those really long tables, but fortunately, the hosts have always accommodated my requests for a private table for two. Well, it's Monday, May 14, 2007, and I'm on my way to enjoy the best Thai food in the "A"!

• Pros: great food, great service, more great food, nide lighting/ambiance
• Cons: the possibility of sitting next to complete strangers

Great food, great drinks, great place to eat!!!!!!!!!!!

by shaniquevianne

The customer service was excellent! We had a party of over 10 people and everything was handled in a precise friendly fashion. Most of the other patrons in the restaurants were couples... so it's definitely a great date spot. The drinks were great.... you've got to try the green tea martini. Doesn't sound too great and when you get it, it doesn't look the prettiest, but it's definitely wonderful. Everyone's food was amazing! This place is definitely added to the list of great food places in Atlanta.

• Pros: food, drinks, service, atmosphere
• Cons: parking....it's a little troublesome at times, but not that bad

My favorite restaurant! It's all about the food.

by daturametel

Every birthday and anniversary means it's time for Surin!!! I love this restaurant, even though it has a few flaws, because the food is delicious. No, it probably isn't the most "authentic" Thai food out there, so if you're looking for that you may be disappointed. Parking is, well, it's in the Highlands, so it's not great. It can also be loud and difficult to hear. But the food is SO good that none of that matters to me. All the items on the menu can be made with tofu, which we love because my husband and I are both vegetarians. I loved this restaurant in Birmingham, and I love it here. You have to go!

• Pros: The food is awesome!!!
• Cons: May not be "authentic," parking is tough, can be noisy

Decent Thai

by jcagsu

I won't call it the best Thai food I've ever had, but it's good for the price. The entrees are reasonable oriced and the location is great. They offer the pretty standard thai dishes and the curry was good and spicy.
