First things first, it’s pronounced “sood” which loosely translates to “recipe” in Thai. Logistics aside, Soothr is a modern Thai noodle restaurant that made headlines after catching the eye of the Michelin Guide.
Homey vibes reminiscent of the busy streets of Bangkok, the menu is full of tempting options, but the noodles is where they shine (I’m partial to the duck and dry crab noodles). Bring a group of friends and tackle the menu en masse, start with the eggplant salad and some zippy cocktails before picking a slew of boldly-seasoned mains.
If authentic Thai cuisine is new to your palate, go with the Chicken Khao Soi (Northern-style curry) otherwise opt for the Nam-Tok Moo (spicy pork blood soup) instead.
