Spicy Sukhothai

I find myself sitting on cast iron seats on Lark Street one busy Saturday afternoon. With two locations in Albany, one at 62 Central Ave and the other at 254 Lark Street this restaurant is easily accessible for dine-in or pick-up eating. Sukhothai is the perfect atmosphere for drinks with a friend and there exotic menu doesn't disappoint, I opt for the Saketini.  To starting off the eat-a-thon, I order an appetizer of the thai egg rolls which came out steaming hot with a sweet red sauce to dip them in, garnished with small carrot rings this was a small portioned appetizer that comes highly recommended for two people to share.

My main course was hard to decide between the Pineapple Curry Chicken and Shrimp versus the Pad Thai entree, I go with the Curry Chicken. This dish consists of shrimp, chicken, pineapple, bell pepper, carrots, tomato, basil and coconut milk to create a super-spicy soup like dish with a mound of rice on the side, garnished with a mint leaf. This dish is perfect for a cool fall or winter day, it warms me up inside as I clean my plate.

Overall I paid about $20 plus tax and tip and it was worth every penny! I highly recommend eating at the Lark location if you like people watching, but lines can get long because it only has 5 tables total. If you want a more spacious place to eat or have a large group I recommend making reservations at the Central Ave Location.

Side Note: I didn't have room left in my belly for dessert but the greet tea ice cream would have been my first choice!
