My friend was craving Thai food, and this place came highly recommended by a local. I was very impressed by their wine options — especially since we were visiting during the strike. Portions in Victoria seem to be much more generous than in Vancouver; once again, we struggled to finish and I ended up taking some leftovers.
We ordered fried tofu as an appetizer, along with pad thai, tom yum soup, and beef stir-fry. Taste-wise, I was happy that the dishes were actually spicy enough for me, but all of them also leaned quite sweet.

I’ve been to the restaurants and also ordered their delivery service a few times.
They offer Early-bird delivery promotion (Place an order before 3:30pm on certain days then free delivery), but I found the process extremely difficult.
The restaurant didn’t answer the phone call for the order placement, so I had to email back and forth for this.
I think this can be improved somehow.
And you can’t choose the delivery time, so it’s just whenever they show up.
Their food and portion are good.

I have heard about the place and went past it a lot of times already but now that I have had it, i know its really good!
Its easy to compare it to other thai places but this location is close and easy to go to when commuting.
I thought i knew what i was getting but i ended up just telling the server what i wanted: pad thai and prawns, nothing spicy at all pls. She was very nice and patient, and she knows i am new to the place. She recommended Pad Thai Goong. They can give you different levels of spicy then asked if allergic or have preferences at all.
I also bought take out for my friends, the Phad See Lew and Chicken with cashew and vegies (Gai Phad Med Ma-muang). Very generous in portions and never shy on those cashews that we love!

I highly recommend this Thai restaurant to anyone living in or visiting Victoria. It truly offers the best Thai food I’ve had in Canada. The prawn fried rice I ordered was absolutely outstanding—full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The service was excellent, with staff who were warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience, and I will definitely be returning on my next visit.

Good food! A bit on the sweet side. The only thing we did not enjoy was the dessert. The beef could be more tender or a higher quality beef (it was a bit tough for flavourful).

TLDR; food not good, prices way too high — go to any other Thai place in downtown Vic instead.
I am so confused why this place has such high ratings…
Do you know that feeling after a long day when you can’t wait to eat yummy food and are excited to find a new restaurant – only to leave so miserablely disappointed because the food was practically inedible? And now you just spend way too much money on food that you cannot eat, only to have to get food somewhere else because you left hungry? It’s the worst feeling.
We ordered classics: Thai iced tea, the pad see lew and red curry. The server also hyped up the coconut rice so we got a side of that.
We were pretty excited when we got these large portions thinking we would have leftovers… but the joke was on us because within two bites the overwhelming amount of salt in the pad see lew dish made it impossible to eat. Everything in the dish was soaked in basically “soy sauce soup”. It was inedible. As they don’t have traditional broad noodles, they subbed with regular pad Thai noodles. Initially I thought they gave us the wrong dish because I have never had pad see lew like this before.
The service also left a lot to be desired, they only checked in on us when we could not continue eating due to the saltiness. When I asked them about it, they confirmed it’s the saltiest dish on the menu and basically just said “that’s just the way it is – maybe try something else next time”.
The chicken curry was overly fishy ( too much fish sauce) and was all one note. Typically Thai Currys are something you want to keep inhaling because they are so delicious… but not here. It was really mid not worth the high price tag — the same was true for the almost 9 dollar Thai iced tea !!! It was just fine but not with the price.
I don’t know how to explain the hyped up coconut rice but it just tasted like rice with fat. It was not coconuty at all, had no flavour other than tasting like I’m eating a block of butter.
All in all, I left so miserablely disappointed by the food, cost and service and will not be returning or recommending this place.

May 8, 2025. The best Thai restaurant we’ve had in BC so far yet. Most notable was the service and food. There was only one waitress on duty that night and she always had a smile to greet us and always accomplished her tasks with professionalism. The food was much to delight us. We ordered the larb gai, tom yum goong and pra larb prig, all in medium spice. The larb gai was very fresh and definitely appealed to our Asian taste buds. Tom yum goong wasn’t sweet unlike many restaurants who just add sugar to it. You feel the spice and proper heat. Lastly the fish was scrumptious. Great sauce and again, heat. Although it was fried, we can taste the freshness of it. The other thing to note is the generous portions, combined with quality reflects the price setting. We will be back!

I revisited Sookjai after a couple of years since my last visit. I noticed that the amount of bean sprouts in the crispy pork was smaller, but still tasty. The portion of chicken was a bit smaller than expected for the price, although the chicken itself was tender and juicy. Despite these minor issues, I would revisit to try other dishes like noodles.
EDIT***
During this visit, I asked for more bean sprouts for Moo Gratiem (#34) and was pleased with the generous amount provided. The Phad Thai (#63) was phenomenal – it had a fiery, smoky scent and the taste was exquisite! It struck the perfect balance of salty and sweet, making it the best Phad Thai in town. Additionally, the Golden Cup appetizer was also fantastic (#1), the sweet and sour noodle (#61) was okay- it was a bit ketchupy, but still good. The service was a bit slow this time. It seems like only the owner’s daughter was “working”, while other two takes their sweet time.
Edit2: visited again, moo gratiem was good. Phad Thai was saturated with sauce. Too salty. Not really the phad thai I remeberdd
