SukhoThai called to us with its sign, a combination of needing a substantial meal after pickling ourselves in local brews at the event for a couple of hours, and curiosity about what I&#8217;d find there. JC had visited Sukhothai before for lunch and knew there was at least one vegan dish on the menu.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Sukhothai by MeShell, on Flickr\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/prairiev\/17622941045\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/c1.staticflickr.com\/9\/8768\/17622941045_93802f46b5_z.jpg\" alt=\"Sukhothai\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I asked our server when we sat down what our options were &#8211; and she said all of the curries could be made vegan (unfortunately, with the exception of my favourite style &#8211; the massaman), and all of the pad thai noodle dishes, just let them know.<\/p>\n<p>We started with the fresh salad rolls, which were filled with all of the deliciousness you might expect from salad rolls (like mango, lettuce, vermicelli noodles, basil, carrots) , and cut up in convenient two bite pieces. It was a great appetizer and I&#8217;d definitely recommend it (and I&#8217;ll certainly order it again).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/meshell.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Sukhothai-Salad-Rolls.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4869\" src=\"https:\/\/meshell.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Sukhothai-Salad-Rolls.jpg\" alt=\"Sukhothai Salad Rolls\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" srcset=\"https:\/\/meshell.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Sukhothai-Salad-Rolls.jpg 640w, https:\/\/meshell.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Sukhothai-Salad-Rolls-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/meshell.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Sukhothai-Salad-Rolls-250x166.jpg 250w, https:\/\/meshell.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Sukhothai-Salad-Rolls-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>JC and I both ordered the Sukhothai Pad Thai, since it&#8217;s their &#8220;Sukh&#8217;ed up&#8221; Northern Thai version of pad thai. No matter where we go for pad thai it&#8217;s always different, but in many ways always the same. This one was nice and saucy, with good noodle separation. I ordered spicy, but I didn&#8217;t realize they also had a &#8220;Thai spicy&#8221; level &#8211; next time (so if you&#8217;re a spice fiend &#8211; you probably want to kick it up a notch. It you&#8217;re not, tread carefully!)
