I had not had Surin in a few months and decided to get takeout. I ordered online, arrived a little early, checked in, and barely sat down before it was ready. The owner apologized that I had to wait! I mean, talk about service. When I got home, the food was so fresh and delicious. Surin West is such a gem! Five Stars‼️

Every time I visit here the food, service and atmosphere are great! I’ve come alone, with a friend, with small & very large groups. Each visit was exceptional and I always enjoy my meals and DRINKS. Definitely try the Surin baskets & the spicy beef salad!😉

So, i literally went here bc my ex gf liked it. I'm not even sure what to order. My gf ordered for me. The service has always been great. I can't complain at all about the service. Restaurant is very clean. Its actually very modern design. I'm just not a fan of the food. Personal preferences. I did eat something I just don't know what.

Elegant food at a price a little too high.

The food is tasty, fresh, and luxurious. The ingredients and cuts are well chosen. The server is attentive and pleasant. Ahh that being said, the price is about 20% too high. It feels as though the tip is baked into the menu price. Even their lunch menu doesn't actually reduce the costs of meals compared to the full menu, it's just less options. The portions don't leave you hungry (if you order an appetizer), but don't expect to be taking home lunch for tomorrow. This is a restaurant where you go for the experience of being in a luxury restaurant.

Go and enjoy yourself at Surin West, but go knowing that's why you're doing it.

Surin West was one of the first meals we had in Birmingham. Returned to try their lunch menu, which is very well-priced! We were greeted with friendly service and excellent lunch options. We only had to wait around 15-20 minutes for our food during peak lunch hours on a Friday. If you’re a UAB student or employee don’t forget to bring your badge for a 10% discount 🤭

Tofu Coconut Soup: 10/10
Complimentary with a lunch order and great to sip on while you wait!

Chicken Masaman w/ Avocado: 10/10
Very rich and flavorful.

Chicken Noodle Bowl: 10/10
This tasted very similar to the Masaman Curry, just a touch sweeter. It was flavorful and very filling!

Parking: It may be a bit difficult to find, but there is a large lot dedicated to Surin West customers around the corner from the restaurant. There is also street parking directly in front of the building, but this will typically be full during peak times.

Birmingham Delivery guide

Unfortunately, I do deliveries for this restaurant from time to time. I always walk in with dread because they pay that hand out, the orders are often very rude. They treat you as though you are inferior to them. There is one male bartender who wears glasses that is an absolute nightmare. If you like, going places where people have an attitude that is quite pompous, this is the place for you.
