Sue's Kitchen

The food here was good and the portions are huge. It's the portion size that makes up for the little things (my steamed mixed vegetables were a little firmer than ideal). My friend and I had 2 soups, Tofu appetizer, 2 dishes from the vegetarian menu, and I ordered a side of steamed vegetables. This meal was over 6 months ago so I can't remember exactly what we ordered, but I do remember how it made me feel. It's a no frills spot, so perfect for eating with family, friends, and loved ones. I saw some couples and a few families with kids. Everyone was just happily eating. Very budget friendly, especially since if you over order you'll have tasty leftover for the next day. Looking forward to going back when I see my friend again this spring.

We ordered $50 worth of food today at Sue's Kitchen. The fried chicken wings were overcooked, dried out and inedible. The fried wings and rice dish consisted of 4 half pieces of chicken (2 whole wings) and a serving of fried rice which had no taste totaling approximately $17. The Pad See Ew was dried out, gummy and tasteless and had little to no chicken or broccoli in the dish. Unfortunately, we ended up tossing most of the food in our recycle bin. What has happened to what used to be one of the few restaurants in El Sobrante that had consistently good food? Sadly to say that we will not be returning to Sue's Kitchen again.

Came here last night for the first time with my family. I haven’t been here but my family has. Sue’s kitchen is the most underrated restaurants you’ll ever come across to. There food is authentic and you can taste the flavors as how much they represent the Laotian and Thai cuisine combined. For appetizers, We ordered the chicken satay, wings, and calamari. I forgot to snap a pic of the wings because it was too good as I glazed it with the sauce it came it. For mains, we got crab fried rice and chicken pad Thai. The food is great. Lastly, we had their coconut ice cream with fried banana. It was something different for a change, and I liked it. The restaurant got busy after we left and I’m glad more people came. Service was good, not a disappointment in sight! Thank you!

Been coming here since I was a kid, now I have my own kid and we come here all the time. There's nothing on the menu that doesn't taste good everything tastes delicious we are never disappointed. The staff are always friendly and accommodating. My personal favorites from the menu are nam kao, panang curry, and chefs special, but you can't go wrong with whatever you order. I always get a side of fish sauce with chili everytime I come too :) thanks to the amazing staff for making all this deliciousness possible ?

I ordered a Pad Thai and Paneng chicken . Pad Thai noodles was over cooked , and was blunt , paid for extra veg , what I got was two broccoli and two slices of carrot . The chicken curry was tasty and fresh, I would recommend trying out this restaurant as it’s a local business and food didn’t felt like too commercial . I will for sure try something else later on
