The name of So Thai Restaurant is rooted in two meanings: So is the first part of the founding family's last name, and is also indicative of the eatery's degree of authenticity. By ensuring that each dish balances the five fundamental taste senses—spicy, sour, sweet, salty, and sharp—So Thai Restaurant is simply sooo Thai. The theme carries to the menu, where a chili-pepper icon denotes five levels of spice from no spice, which is similar to ketchup, to so spicy, which is similar to burning ketchup. Traditional Thai dishes including pad thai and drunken noodles comprise the majority of options, though chefs also prepare specialties with uncommon ingredients including barbecue pork, red snapper, and kaffir-lime leaves. With nearly a quarter century of experience in the Thai-restaurant business, the Sookthis family expertly prepares dishes that sync flavor and aromatic components.
