I had a reservation for 7 PM, but unfortunately, when we arrived, there was no table ready for us. We ended up waiting for 40 minutes, which was quite frustrating, especially since we had a reservation. During that time, we felt out of place standing in a cramped space while other diners were comfortably seated.
Once we were finally seated around 7:40 PM, the food took another hour to arrive. To make matters worse, there was an issue with the rice, and we were served noodles instead of the rice we ordered with the curry. After telling the waiter we didn't want noodles he said he'd bring the rice it’ll just have a bit of a wait on it, which we agreed to. When the rice finally came, it was undercooked and bland, and the portion size was disappointing. Overall, it was a very disappointing experience, especially for the price we paid.
I hope the management takes these concerns seriously and improves their service and food quality.

We had a lovely and delicious experience at Suwanna last night. The Thai appetizers and 4 mains that we had were hot and so tasty. Kim, our server, was very attentive and we couldn't have asked for more. Oh yes, she provided an amazing piece of chocolate cheesecake for our birthday girl. We thought that we were too full for dessert but luckily she shared it.

Wandered in with our party of four at 6:30. Place was not very busy and a reservation was not required. The positives, our waitress was lovely. Friendly and professional. The decor is beautiful and the tables far enough from each other to hear yourself talk. Good cocktail menu and they seemed popular with the tables around us. The negatives, the food is mid at best. Pad Thai is tasteless (asked for chiles and was charged). The scallops in the hot bamboo shoot dish were scarce and the beef and broccoli was again bland. The winner seemed to be the burger. So, maybe a place you head to with your party for some cocktails before heading elsewhere for some Thai food.

We were a table of 16 and our server Chris was amazing. He checked on us often to make sure we were not in need of anything . The food was very good and the restaurant was very clean. We will definitely return.

Wonderful dining experience at Suwanna. New restaurant on Germain opened earlier in 2025. You will be saying Wow!! when you walk in here. The décor and visual appeal of this restaurant is quite amazing. The back lit bar top I have not seen anywhere and there are a couple tables with this feature. Furniture is unique and beautiful. Beautiful ice lights. Backlit bar is awesome. We had our meal inside but they also have a very nice patio/terrace area with some of the nicest flowers in Saint John.
Served by Chris and his service was great. Good recommendations on food and watched him mix some great drinks behind the bar. He knows his way around a restaurant.
Also, we noticed a friendly lady making her way around the restaurant. Chatted with her a bit and found out she owns the place. If you see Donna, say hi, she is wonderful. Loved her enthusiasm when discussing building this restaurant and describing their food.
We had maple chicken curry pasta. I had mine as described on the menu with penne pasta. My wife had it with pad thai noodles. It was great, smelled so good when brought out to us. Probably mid spicy range (to me) and chicken was cooked very nice. And then for dessert we split a carrot cake, very moist and delicious cake. Great meal here.

Service and food was excellent, enhanced by the stunning interior, making for an overall fantastic experience. Their green curry is probably the best I've had (spicy!), and I will be back to try their other curries.
I also have to give a moment to the chocolate and peanut butter cake (the Eugenie I believe??). It was unlike anything I've had and really was to die for.
The rest of our table had the pad thai, cashew stir fry, and sweet and sour chicken. Everyone raved about their meals and left happy and full.

Amazing food and the best hospitality.
The new restaurant location on Germain has been meticulously designed and suits the high end feel that this restaurant has to offer.
Do not go here!!!! The reviews are lying or FAKE!! There are some really weird things going on at this restaurant….. take your money and business elsewhere.
Stay away from this place
