Surin West in Birmingham - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Food was very average. I ask if they could make my food spicy. They ended up sprinkling my food with crushed dry peppers and the food was super sweet. Was not expecting that from a Thai restaurant at all.

Bobby was our server/bartender. He was AMAZING! His attention to detail combined with excellent food made for a superb dining experience! We will be back again soon!

The food is always amazing a little expensive now so I can’t eat there as much as I want, but when I can, it’s beautifully done

I really enjoyed my meal here and the service was incredible. Thank you Bobby!

Stellar every time!! My fave !!

My favorite place in Birmingham since I was a UAB freshman in 2001. Always on point

Very tasty. Fast and friendly service. Top shelf Thai food. Beck was especially accommodating and helpful.

Hadn’t been here in over 24 years due to relocating and upon having a great lunch would highly recommend this to anyone looking for delicious Thai!!!!

Everything that I had for dinner from the coconut soup to the spicy hamachi roll to the Masaman Chicken was delicious! My server was very knowledgeable and helpful, also! I would definitely return

This place is amazing! We went there a couple of times, and every time, the food was delicious, the service professional and the atmosphere was pleasant. The spicy coconut soup is wow. I highly recommend Surin West!!!

I really loved this place! The service was excellent and the food was so tasty!! Will return.

Food was awesome. Got the masaman shrimp curry. My wife got spicy basil chicken.

Great Thai food, love there coconut soup. I got the beef salad, and it had amazing flavors.

Nice spot, was close to our hotel so tried it out, very satisfied, delicious meal my sashimi was fresh and wife's curry dish was outstanding.

First time here in a long while. Last time I visited, I could tell the place was declining in several areas. Seems like that trend has continued since. Definitely not the “It” place it used to be. Everything here was just Meh. Food was good. Service and atmosphere was very much lacking. No energy anywhere.

Great place for lunch!! The BBQ chicken is my favorite.

Good food. Pad thai is the standard for which I compare thai… the calamari was light and fluffy but not my fave style… its in a cute enough area, but a lot of homeless, and lack of parking.

I've visited multiple times going back before COVID. Both the quality of food and the number of patrons around lunch time have declined since the epidemic. Portions are good sized, but the food is less flavorful. The coconut soup remains good, however.

I have eaten many times over the years at Surin West and lately every time I ask myself “with all the options why would I eat here?. Tonight was no exception. I ordered food through Uber Eats but called the restaurant directly and asked that hot mustard and soy sauce be included. The person that answered was very pleasant but he failed to do what was promised. The next issue was the brown rice that was ordered was just over half full (see pic). I was prepared to throw the whole order (thinking the food had been tampered) but the manager advised that was how the order is made. Frankly that is absurd given you pay extra ! I finally decided to eat the food and it was average at best. I bought a chicken vegetable dish and a soup. Both very bland…almost like food you would get in a school lunchroom. It took a few lessons for me to realize that Surin West is simply average and nothing more. The food tonight cost $42 (more expensive since ordering through Uber) and it was certainly not worth it. No more Surin West for me!

Great location with a dedicated parking lot in the rear, plenty of tables and space, and incredibly attentive and attentive servers. The food is the usual amazing Surin wuality.! Highly recommend!

The best chicken massamon. I asked if I could have it shipped to me. Service was very good, Lily are server so sweet! Thank you for your service

Food is delicious, service sucks

Best restaurant in Birmingham. Food, service, and price is good, I came here a lot and probably eat here 2-3 times a week. The coconut soup is good and I recommend the duck curry.

The host that's at the door to use more training I walked in she's slouched over on her phone when she looked up at me she frowned I'm not sure why maybe she doesn't like black people but she did not want to help me

The double shrimp sushi, chicken curry and the shrimp pad see ew was amazing! Service was awesome!

Had a party of 5, 3 of the 5 had never had Thai food. I ordered the dim sum (very good), pot stickers (very good), spicy beef salad(not so good, I’ve had better). 2 orders of Pineapple fried rice (I have it before but would not recommended getting here, very salty), chicken fried rice , shrimp fried rice (both of the rice dishes were dry), and the spicy basil chicken (this is my go to dish, I wasn’t impressed at all, not enough basil in the dish). I’ve been to many Thai restaurants before, I would not recommend this place.

The service was amazing. We didn't realize it was close to closing, but we never felt rushed. The server was friendly and attentive. I wish I could remember his name but it was a tall guy with facial hair. The food was great and the coconut soup with shrimp was delicious. My first time ever having it and I loved it.

The food was great as always. Chicken masaman and warm chicken salad are my faves. The coconut soup is a must. It was perfect for lunch on a rainy day.

We stop in every time we drive to Alabama it’s a family favorite. They can make the Thai Noodle gluten and egg free. The coconut soup that comes with the entrees also GF.

The food and drinks at Surin West are always delicious! The staff is always helpful and super nice!

Great food, ALL the time. I had chicken curry and there was so much I'll get to enjoy it for lunch tomorrow. My husband loves their scallops.

This is one of my most favored restaurants. It’s very reasonably priced. The service is cordial and quick, and the atmosphere is great. A very nice place to take a date when money is skim but you want to impress. My favorite is the Thai Barbecue Chicken.

I’ve been coming here for 16 years. I love their Pad Thai Tofu. It’s so big now since renovation, it’s lost a coziness but I get they have to accommodate larger groups. This February 2024, I met a friend for Thursday night dinner at 5:30, so pretty empty. Food, including their delicious egg rolls, were delicious as always. I was disappointed they no longer do a pot of tea, but only single cups now. Presentation of tea was off. Plain see-glass mug, with two honey packets. The tea cup was sitting in a puddle of tea in the saucer, so the packets were all wet and the cup dripped every time I drank from it. Doesn’t seem like a lot for an Asian restaurant to be able to have pots of tea for those who want it. That is my only complaint.

Best food I have had in a while.

Lunch here is a must. Lunch specials or dinner comes with their coconut soup which is so good! Portions are large enough to have a take home box.

I took a group of my daughters' UAB art student friends out for a late night after their show at a gallery for various snacks we had a great time the food was good and very creative the service was excellent and very helpful and professional. We had appetizer baskets and chicken Pow chicken fried rice and egg rolls and a bunch of other stuff that was really good. Surin has been a solid Thai restaurant in this community maybe 20 years it still is you can't go wrong there great meal and great place and great service.

The egg roll were on point. Had Their version of Pad Thai and was not disappointed

Everything was ok. Food was best part of everything, atmosphere and service could be stepped up some.

The chicken so tender you don't need teeth to eat it

Always a great place to meet friends. Terrific food and staff!

Ordered the Sweet and Sour chicken. It was basically a plate of chicken finger. They had a bowl of sauce you could pour on. Very different than the One Atlanta area. You will be very disappointed.

Guy working bar was super nice, food was hot and delicious, I’m going back..

My fave Asian restaurant in BHM! Never had a bad item, excellent sushi, curry, etc.

Delicious food and great service. Loved the sushi, fried rice dishes & fried dumplings. The atmosphere was inviting with lots of choices from the bar.

The Thai barbe cue chicken with shrimp fried rice is my favorite! YOU get half of a whole chicken roasted til it falls off the bone foar around 13 bucks.

I had some of the best Thai food I have ever tasted. I enjoyed the egg rolls, the pad Thai, and the crab appetizer. I give the margarita a 10/10. The margarita may not be suitable for those who do not like their drinks strong and full of alcohol. Unfortunately, I was too hungry to take any pictures. But when we visit again, we do know it’s in our rotation of places!

I got coconut spicy soup, and it was awesome. On the other hand, I also got Thai noodles, which come with chicken and shrimp! The food was like eating alive chicken! It has a very strong raw chicken smell and taste. It would be much better if they would marinate chicken with onion or cook it with onion or garlic or any other strong spice to cover the smell!

Great food! Great customer service! Great atmosphere!

Group of 10 people, service, and food were awesome.

Decent Thai restaurant with good service in a nice location. Nothing special about the meals we had but I did enjoy.

Good place, even if we did go with 30 minutes left before dinner service. But they were very accommodating, I'm the fact that they still seated us and were very professional. The food is really good as well The appetizers of dim sum, and the surin baskets ( incredible flavor, definitely should try these) were outstanding. The pad Thai in my opinion could have used more savory It tasted a little sweet even if it was the spiciest level you could which is three. The spicy beef noodles though with shrimp were mighty tasty. Overall really good experience would give them a try again.

Food was delicious and got plenty food for your

Looked forward to eating here when I saw it a few weeks ago. On this trip we made sure to go there for lunch. Strongly recommend this if you are in the 5 Points area. Food was well developed and flavorful. I will be going back.

I saw a roach in the restaurant

My family and I have gone to Surin in 5 points for decades. It used to be the best quality food available without having to put a suit and tie on for rich folk fancy dinners. But this last year has been a huge let down. Every single time I order the Super Crunch or Salmon sashimi the fish has an extremely fishy and old taste to it. They slice the salmon into pieces so thin they can be inhaled. And on top of the poor quality they charge the highest prices for it. This most recent time 3 out of 4 of us got food posioning from the Salmon. Never again. Okinawa in Homewood is the new superior Asian style food in Birmingham.

Very disappointing. The musaman beef was tough and the noodle dish lacked the vibrant flavors usually found. It was around 5 on a weeknight and the place was all but deserted.

Great food and pleasant atmosphere. Love the Pad See U!

Great food plus great atmosphere, highly recommend!

First time in the Southside location since pre-Covid and wow, what a stunning disappointment. To the left of the man entrance is a large empty space where they once had tables. With the oversized bar, it looks more like a club than a restaurant. Surin used to be such a warm dining experience but now you walk into a cavernous space that looks like it’s still in Covid takeout protocols. The food quality was equal to the environment. The tempura crunch in the Super Crunch had the taste and consistency of stale Rice Krispies. This is definitely a restaurant in decline. Stick to the Crestline location for a more reliable Surin experience.

Chicken noodle bowl is awesome! (Traducido por Google) ¡El tazón de fideos con pollo es increíble!

Parking issues have kept us away too long. This was a Friday early evening and we were thrilled to find free parking behind the building that didn't result in a boot on our car after dinner. Food was served quickly and great service from I think Darryl? Thai tea and coconut soup are must haves. The only minor issue was they seem to have trouble finding chilis to spice things up. So the food was milder than expected. (Traducido por Google) Los problemas de estacionamiento nos han mantenido alejados demasiado tiempo. Esto fue un viernes temprano en la noche y estábamos encantados de encontrar estacionamiento gratuito detrás del edificio que no resultó en un arranque en nuestro automóvil después de la cena. La comida se sirvió rápidamente y un gran servicio de Darryl, creo. El té tailandés y la sopa de coco son imprescindibles. El único problema menor fue que parecen tener problemas para encontrar chiles para condimentar las cosas. Así que la comida fue más suave de lo esperado.

Friendly staff, good service and food. (Traducido por Google) Personal amable, buen servicio y comida.

The food is always wonderful and the service is great. (Traducido por Google) La comida siempre es maravillosa y el servicio es estupendo.

Had lunch here while traveling and what a surprise! Food was excellent. Service was prompt and friendly. Decor was minimalist but clean. Overall would highly recommend if in the mood for Thai food.

I’ve been coming to Surin West for over a decade now and it has never failed to be superb food! The food always comes out in a timely manner and I kid you not, no matter what you order off of that menu it will be unique and delicious in its own way! I highly recommend the Chicken Noodle Bowl, only available at lunch, it is noodles with grilled chicken in a lemongrass curry sauce and it is beyond good. Trust. Surin West in five points is one of Birminghams restaurant gems and anyone that hasn’t tried it yet is truly missing out! Pro Tip: Go dine in at lunch and get the coconut soup (aka liquid GOLD) with your meal. (Traducido por Google) ¡He estado viniendo a Surin West durante más de una década y nunca ha dejado de ser una comida excelente! La comida siempre sale a tiempo y no bromeo, no importa lo que pidas de ese menú, ¡será único y delicioso a su manera! Recomiendo encarecidamente el Chicken Noodle Bowl, solo disponible en el almuerzo, son fideos con pollo a la parrilla en salsa de curry de hierba de limón y es más que bueno. Confianza. ¡Surin West en cinco puntos es una de las gemas de los restaurantes de Birmingham y cualquiera que aún no lo haya probado realmente se lo está perdiendo! Consejo profesional: vaya a cenar en el almuerzo y tome la sopa de coco (también conocida como ORO líquido) con su comida.

It was an awesome experience. Food is delicious! (Traducido por Google) Fue una experiencia maravillosa. ¡La comida es deliciosa!

Excellent food, full of flavor. Spicy beef salad is top notch. (Traducido por Google) Excelente comida, llena de sabor. La ensalada de ternera picante es de primera categoría.

The sushi was excellent. The service, however, was slow. But it was a rainy Friday night so I can give them a by for that. (Traducido por Google) El sushi era excelente. El servicio, sin embargo, fue lento. Pero fue un viernes por la noche lluvioso, así que puedo darles un tiempo para eso.

Great food! I recommend the Pad See U! (Traducido por Google) ¡Buena comida! Recomiendo el Pad See U!

SO GOOD!!!!!!! Highly recommend the Thai bbq chicken and Spicy beef noodles (Traducido por Google) ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡TAN BUENO!!!!!!! Recomiendo encarecidamente el pollo a la barbacoa tailandés y los fideos con carne picante

Great food every time I eat here! The atmosphere is really comfortable, the fried rice is delicious as is the tiramisu! (Traducido por Google) Buena comida cada vez que como aquí! El ambiente es muy cómodo, el arroz frito es delicioso al igual que el tiramisú.

I eat here more than anywhere else in town. And that's for good reason. The food is always top quality, there's always parking, and the service is always good. I tried to turn in Mountain Brook and I wasn't as impressed. the super crunch roll is one of the best sushi rolls and there is nothing else like it in town. The wing of angel is most excellent and you will find nothing else like it in town. All the noodle dishes are very very good. The sir and baskets and the egg rolls and the basil rolls are all excellent appetizers. Even the chicken fingers are freaking delicious. But why would you get chicken fingers here? don't answer that. (Traducido por Google) Comí aquí más que en cualquier otro lugar de la ciudad. Y eso es por una buena razón. La comida siempre es de primera calidad, siempre hay estacionamiento y el servicio siempre es bueno. Traté de entregar Mountain Brook y no quedé tan impresionado. el rollo súper crujiente es uno de los mejores rollos de sushi y no hay nada igual en la ciudad. El ala de ángel es excelente y no encontrarás nada igual en la ciudad. Todos los platos de fideos son muy, muy buenos. El señor y las cestas y los rollos de huevo y los rollos de albahaca son excelentes aperitivos. Incluso las alitas de pollo son deliciosas. Pero, ¿por qué tendrías alitas de pollo aquí? no respondas eso

This is an amazing restaurant! Prices are incredibly reasonable for the taste and quality! My family and I love the Thai noodles! If you want to sample some appetizers, I recommend the Surin baskets- absolutely amazing! Don’t skip the coconut soup either; it is SO yummy! If you still have room for something sweet after you finish eating, their brownie is incredible! (Traducido por Google) ¡Este es un restaurante increíble! ¡Los precios son increíblemente razonables para el sabor y la calidad! ¡Mi familia y yo amamos los fideos tailandeses! Si quieres probar algunos aperitivos, te recomiendo las cestas de Surin, ¡absolutamente increíbles! Tampoco te saltes la sopa de coco; es TAN delicioso! Si todavía tienes espacio para algo dulce después de terminar de comer, ¡su brownie es increíble!

Good food and service but nothing to set itself apart. Meals were delivered quick but since we did not quite enjoy the quiet atmosphere, we skipped additional drinks and dessert and ventured off elsewhere. (Traducido por Google) Buena comida y servicio, pero nada que lo diferencie. Las comidas se entregaron rápidamente, pero como no disfrutamos del ambiente tranquilo, nos saltamos las bebidas y el postre adicionales y nos aventuramos a otro lugar.

Everything is great about this place! The food, the atmosphere and off course the service! Must visit if you come to Five Points South. (Traducido por Google) ¡Todo es genial en este lugar! La comida, el ambiente y por supuesto el servicio! Visita obligada si vienes a Five Points South.

Consistently tasty burgers, chicken nuggies are pretty good too (Traducido por Google) Hamburguesas consistentemente sabrosas, los nuggies de pollo también son bastante buenos

1. The food was not as good as expected . Actually had to return one meal because it was too salty 2. The server was very nice and polite buy didnt offer to refill my drink. 3. The restaurant's had what looked like homeless people sitting on front of the restaurant which might frighten some people off. (Traducido por Google) 1. La comida no fue tan buena como esperaba. De hecho, tuve que devolver una comida porque estaba demasiado salada. 2. El servidor fue muy amable y educado. No se ofreció a rellenar mi bebida. 3. El restaurante tenía lo que parecían personas sin hogar sentadas frente al restaurante, lo que podría asustar a algunas personas.

Food is good miss the old look of the restaurant tho. Had more color and energy back in the day. I frequently come to this restaurant because nobody else makes a coconut, shrimp soup like theirs. However, the service is terrible at this restaurant. I don’t know what crackhead they got working the bar, but he is not attentive. (Traducido por Google) La comida es buena, aunque se pierda el aspecto antiguo del restaurante. Tenía más color y energía en el pasado. Frecuentemente vengo a este restaurante porque nadie más hace una sopa de coco y camarones como la de ellos. Sin embargo, el servicio es terrible en este restaurante. No sé qué drogadicto tienen trabajando en el bar, pero no está atento.

Really nice and yummy food. (Traducido por Google) Muy buena y deliciosa comida.

Such a cool space, and amazing food and staff too! Will absolutely be back. (Traducido por Google) ¡Un espacio tan genial, y una comida y un personal increíbles también! Absolutamente volveremos.

I have been dining at Surin West since 1996. I frequent the restaurant often. The service is unmatched. The atmosphere and food is always fresh and delicious. The staff from the host to the waiter, the bartenders and management are very tentive and always pay attention to detail. If you haven't tried them, you are missing out on a Birmingham treat. Try them if you haven't. I love this place!❤️ (Traducido por Google) He estado cenando en Surin West desde 1996. Frecuento el restaurante a menudo. El servicio es inigualable. El ambiente y la comida son siempre frescos y deliciosos. El personal, desde el anfitrión hasta el mesero, los cantineros y la gerencia, son muy atentos y siempre prestan atención a los detalles. Si no los ha probado, se está perdiendo una delicia de Birmingham. Pruébalos si no lo has hecho. ¡Me encanta este lugar! ❤️

The catfish is a favorite. (Traducido por Google) El bagre es un favorito.

Surin West is hands down the best Thai restaurant in Birmingham. The food and people are beyond exceptional. 10/10 would recommend. (Traducido por Google) Surin West es sin duda el mejor restaurante tailandés en Birmingham. La comida y la gente son más que excepcionales. 10/10 lo recomendaría.

Delicious!!! (Traducido por Google) ¡¡¡Delicioso!!!

One of my faves for decades and still the same and great Thai food! (Traducido por Google) ¡Uno de mis favoritos durante décadas y sigue siendo la misma y excelente comida tailandesa!

Delicious authentic flavors. The pork dish we ordered was fantastic! It came with real Thai sticky rice which I've realized is hard to find in this town at various "Thai" restaurants. The coconut soup was creamy and slightly spicy. We liked it better than the hot and sour shrimp soup. We ordered 6pcs of Sriracha hamachi sushi that were delicious as well. The only reason they lost a star is it took 10 minutes for our server to greet us and take our drink order. Then throughout the meal didn't refill our drinks until we specifically asked after being out for several minutes. Overall, a delicious meal with deep satisfying flavors and a beautiful atmosphere. The waiter seemed inexperienced but had a happy disposition. Give them a try!! I don't think you'll regret it. (Traducido por Google) Deliciosos sabores auténticos. El plato de cerdo que pedimos fue fantástico! Llegó con arroz pegajoso tailandés real que me di cuenta de que es difícil de encontrar en esta ciudad en varios restaurantes "tailandeses". La sopa de coco era cremosa y ligeramente picante. Nos gustó más que la sopa de camarones agridulce. Pedimos 6 piezas de sushi Sriracha hamachi que también estaban deliciosos. La única razón por la que perdieron una estrella es que nuestro servidor tardó 10 minutos en saludarnos y tomar nuestro pedido de bebidas. Luego, durante la comida, no volvimos a llenar nuestras bebidas hasta que preguntamos específicamente después de estar fuera durante varios minutos. En general, una comida deliciosa con sabores profundos y satisfactorios y un ambiente hermoso. El camarero parecía inexperto pero tenía una disposición feliz. Pruébalos!! No creo que te arrepientas.

Love this place. Always good service and great food. Try the peanut butter pie..🤯 (Traducido por Google) Amo este lugar. Siempre un buen servicio y buena comida. Prueba el pastel de mantequilla de maní... 🤯

I had never been here or had Thai food but my server Daryl made certain that I was given not only great food but was very personable. Anytime I'm in the area, this will be my go to dining place. I had the Spicy Eggplant Curry...and was brought 2 different ways to add some more spice to my heat level. (Traducido por Google) Nunca había estado aquí ni había comido comida tailandesa, pero mi servidor Daryl se aseguró de que no solo me dieran una excelente comida, sino que fuera muy agradable. Cada vez que estoy en la zona, este será mi lugar para ir a cenar. Tuve el curry picante de berenjena... y me trajeron 2 formas diferentes de agregar un poco más de especias a mi nivel de calor.

I had some doubts about how good a Japanese/Asian Fusion restaurant in Alabama might be. We’re from the San Francisco Bay Area, which has quite a selection of good Japanese and Thai restaurants — which doesn’t make us experts by any means, but we appreciate what we can get at home. So we were very pleasantly surprised by Suri West! Suri West is an interesting combo of Japanese and Thai. One side of the menu is Sushi and Sashimi; flip it over and you find a big selection of Thai dishes. We loved every dish we got! My sashimi combo had good quality fish, a beautiful presentation, and was a great value compared to what we get at home. Our basil rolls appetizer was fabulous, and my wife’s Pad See U with chicken was unusually good. Our daughter enjoyed her sushi nigiri and rolls too. So don’t hesitate to go here and enjoy a nice Japanese/Thai dinner!

Delicious, excellent and friendly service. Enjoyed very much (Traducido por Google) Delicioso, excelente y amable servicio. Disfruté mucho

One of my long time favorites in the southside area. The food is consistently excellent! The lunch menu is the best lunch for the money in Birmingham. Try the chicken noodle bowl 😋.
