Our Thai menu is coupled with a full sushi bar, a varied wine list, and a knowledgeable and professional wait & bar staff, all of which work together to make your dining experience perfect!
Literally the best takeout pickup experience in Bham. You order through their website and pick up through a specific carry out entrance. My order is always waiting for me on the counter, just grab and go.
The food is great. I like the Pad See Ew, Massaman Curry, and Coconut Soup. The tofu is always fresh and cooked well. This is my guilty pleasure takeout spot.
When I tell you, this food is so good it’ll make no sense. Thai food amazing but can I just say this crème brûlée oh my God!!!! This may be the best crème brûlée I’ve ever had. I get the chicken curry and the potstickers and I’m amazed every time I get it. I love the owner here. The cooks are doing their jobs and the customer service is excellent. This is my go to Thai spot in Birmingham. For cocktails make sure you try their lemon martini. It’s delicious. I had to stop myself after two.
The staff were very pleasant when ordering and asking about menu options. I gave them 3 stars due to the food tasting very bland. Since I didn't think to ask for any sauces to put on the fried rice dish I ordered, because normally I don't need it, I was even more disappointed about the .50 I spent on a half filled cup of blazing sauce....don't remember the name of sauce. Interesting enough, the little bit of sauce was enough for the amount of rice I had. I have been on a mission to find an just one other thai place that I like over my neighborhood one and have been coming up short.
Never had Thai food before so I was really excited to try this place out while I was in the area. Everything was fantastic, from the service to the atmosphere to the drinks to the food, couldn't have asked for a better experience.
I ordered the Blue Dolphin 🐬 and the Kao Mo-Kai. Both were delicious and the dish itself was so, so good. Might not be able to come back due to distance, but I'd definitely recommend checking this place out if you're around Mountain Brook.
Just a beautiful place and I tried foods I never thought that I would. And I LOVED it 😊 Coconut soup, sushi appetizer, Thai noodles. Super yummy.
Food and service was excellent! Love their Coconut Soup!

Excellent food and excellent service
Try the trout with sauce on the side or the rib eye.
Fantastic!! Love this place
Loud!!!! Install carpet please! Service was poor at best. Sorry to see this place go south.
The Surins are my favorite Thai restaurants in the world. Cannot beat the chicken noodle bowl and coconut soup, which is only available at lunch.
One of the best Massaman curries I've had. Service was superior for our party of 12.
Great neighborhood place with friendly service and consistently good food and drinks!
I picked up a DoorDash last night from this location so I couldn’t rate food but the guy that gave me my DoorDash had blown his nose on a napkin and didn’t wash his hands 😳 he went to the back and got my order with nasty hands and gave it to me I just picked it up from the bottom that’s pitiful and extremely nasty and GERMY
Its one of the better Thai places.
Ate here on Christmas Eve. We had a great meal and fast service. Can't wait to go back.
So I would give it 5 comeplete stars but they don’t have the same drink menu as surin west. They are missing the Lost of Thailand and the lychee martini
Seating available is lacking but the food and service is wonderful.
Food good. Brought my friend soup that contained seafood after he had asked for no seafood in it. Different server that came by was able to correct it fairly quickly. Thx!! Our server seemed a bit out to lunch. And it was 2pm.
Great little Thai place. Food was exceptionally fresh, very flavorful.
The bartender was on point with his pour of bourbon.
I ordered the hot and sour soup egg rolls and garlic broccoli with chicken 🐔.
I asked them to make it extremely spicy, and they did just that.
Food Awesome!!!
Service Awesome!!!
To bad that I do not live here, I would be eating here all the time.
Everything was delicious and the service was great.
My pet peeve is for a place to say they close at a certain time and dont honor that. Working in retail for 11 years. You close when you say you do. If someone walks in prior to closing you honor them. Otherwise just close when you want to truly close. Its just rude and bad business. Walked in at 822pm and was told they closed. They have posted 930pm. Ridiculous.
Amazing food and our server was so nice and extremely funny!
I orderedthe seafood soup and hot and sour soup from grub hub with a side of rice it was almost 50 dollars only got 2 separate cups of the seafood no hot and sour I couldn't eat it because I didn't think that it was at all good. I was totally let down and felt like I got screwed will never order that again
Always good food and friendly service. One of the places that I count on to have good food.
During a visit with my financial adviser he took my to one of his favorite lunch spots, Surin of Thailand. We were shown to a table right away, but it took quite a while to take our order. (Like a lot of restaurants they are obviously short oh staff. Meanwhile we were all served a cup of tofu coconut soup which excellent. For a main dish I had the Khoa Man Gai which according to the menu is a “Marinated boneless chicken breast with a crispy tempura, and aromatic Thai style rice cooked in chicken broth and a spicy ginger garlic dipping sauce, accompanied with dressed fresh greens.” It was very good, but I think next time I will have will have what my financial adviser ordered. He had his favorite, a soup with large pieces chicken. I don’t remember the name of dish, but looked very good and he said it was excellent. A very nice expensive experience; I will do it again.
Surin sets the bar high as one of Birmingham's finest Thai food establishments. Their consistently excellent food ensures a delightful dining experience. While I haven't sampled all their drinks, their dirty martini is simply outstanding.
The menu at Surin is a treasure trove of delectable options, and I've made it a mission to explore as much as possible. Each dish has left me satisfied, making it nearly impossible to go wrong with any choice. The salads, in particular, stand out for their superb taste and freshness. Personally, I find it hard to resist ordering their chicken noodle bowl for lunch each time—it's that good.
The sushi at Surin is also a treat, with the wasabi maki roll holding a special place in my heart as one of the town's best sushi rolls. For appetizers, the crab angels and pot stickers are clear favorites, consistently delivering a burst of flavor.
One aspect that truly sets Surin apart is their lunch special, offering exceptional quality food at an unbeatable value. The combination of taste, value, and quality is unmatched in town.
Beyond the culinary delights, Surin's atmosphere is always inviting, creating a pleasant and enjoyable environment. The attentive staff adds to the overall experience, ensuring that you are well taken care of during your visit.
In conclusion, Surin is a gem in Birmingham, serving up some of the finest Thai food around. With an impressive menu, delightful sushi options, and mouthwatering appetizers, it's hard not to be impressed. Whether it's for a casual lunch or a special evening out, Surin never fails to deliver an exceptional dining experience.
Great pick up service and food
Picked up to go that I ordered online. Order was ready when I there and everything was delicious
You have to get Surin Baskets!
Great food. Nice portions.
Surin is always a good option for Thai and sushi.
Food was delicious
Always a great choice!
went for first time ..ordered the stir fry w/chicken; served mild - spicy hot - chicken was very tender , a bit salty but very tasty; very busy but service was acceptable - will return.
delicious food
My daughter and I took my son there for a birthday lunch last week and had a very nice meal. The food was delicious as always, but even more impressive was the service we received. The servers and other staff were so polite and attentive, it made the meal that much better. We love this place.
Beautiful restaurant. Amazing food.
Great place to eat. Food is always good and service prompt and friendly.
Love this atmosphere and the food is always on point.
The food is always delicious!!! And plentiful! We can, without a doubt, count on Surin for a great, flavorful meal, fresh sushi, excellent service, and a level of consistently fabulous food!!!
Overall we had a very nice time here for dinner. This location is a bit small - a lot of takeout - a bit informal, but the table in a booth was comfortable, service was friendly and efficient, and the food was great. The Chicken Masaman and the Number 1 Sushi combo are favorites.
Amazing everything and fast, Courteous service. Definitely recommend the surin baskets, sushi rolls, and spicy beef salad
So so.
I've been going here for years. Wife says sushi is always great, there are a number of Thai dishes I'll eat that are fine. Dine in is hit or miss, but take out is efficient and correct. Parking is a casino game. I'm glad they are here. Every now and then I'll try Southside location for takeout and kick myself.
Great service and food. Fun with grandson!
Great food very nice service and very fun with family.
The service here is horrible. Which is not surprising being as though I don't look like the people living in the area. I called in who asked for directions because the GPS was not bringing me to the exact location and I was lost. Instead of attempting to give me directions the young lady that answered the phone told me "well we're not located where you are" without any further directions or assistance. Once I call back and spoke to the manager he proceed to cut me off while I was talking, & told me "Uh huh, we got you. We canceled it" and proceeded to hang up. I would not recommend them to anyone.
Food was OK. Service was friendly.
Order Thai style hot and was disappointed that it was no where near hot.
They have great fresh food and the portions are very generous. The best dish to me is the coconut soup. It is very delicious and a cup comes with every order! I enjoy this restaurant every time I visit.
Relocating from New York area, it has been impossible to find authentic Thai food in Birmingham. After trying Shiki restaurant and leaving incredibly disappointed, we had high hopes for Surin of Thailand. The dish was even worse; incredibly bland and watered down.
The beef masaman curry was only fair. No carrots or onions. Big chunks of beef and potatoes
Very yummy
Incredibly noisy! We will not go back because we could not have a conversation. The new decor is very nice but somebody forgot about the acoustics. Too bad.
Very elegant and a calming atmosphere.
Ordered my usual sushi choice and chicken curry tonight but was quite disappointed in the chicken curry! Not much flavor although the chicken slices were thin and easy to eat. Just not up to the usual standard. Did not finish my portion. Will not save other portion to eat tomorrow.
Stumbled on this place driving back to Texas. Best Thai food we’ve ever had! Sauce and seasonings were perfect and not overbearing, allowing the taste of the food to shine. We did not try the Sushi. Unexpected memorable food experience . If you like Thai food you will not be disappointed.
Their to go game is excellent! Love going here!
Never had Thai food before so I was really excited to try this place out while I was in the area. Everything was fantastic, from the service to the atmosphere to the drinks to the food, couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Delicious food and good staff!
While I did enjoy the flavor of the curry, I specified Thai hot when the server asked me hot or Thai hot. Not very hot at all. Looks like I will have to try again and have them kick it up a notch.
They’ve ruined it. The renovations look very nice and the restaurant is more comfortable, but the food is different. All the food looks the same but does not taste the same. Very bland. Used to always get the chicken masamam - very flavorless now. What happened?
My wife and I have enjoyed their fine Thai cuisine for more than 17 years in Mountain Brook. More than 25 years at their Southside location in Birmingham. Their Chicken Masaman with avocado is to die for. Always excellent and never any drop off in the quality. The Coconut Soup that comes with it will make you slap yourself to wake up from this Thai Food Dream. The BBQ chicken which they marinate overnight every day is ridiculously good as any of their noodle selections. Our entire family LOVES this Restaurant and always asks for it if we mention dinner or lunch out. This includes both sides of the family. Their service, wine and drinks selection and the Acid Jazz music just top off this extraordinary place of great food, service & surroundings. I have nothing else to say. :-)
The new renovations look great! The remodel looks very modern and is purpose built for the new post covid normal. There are two separate entrances for dine in and carry out. This makes it easy to get a to go order without walking through the dining room. Or see the hostess without walking through folks waiting to pick up orders. The bar area is larger and it's now easier to eat and have drinks. The redesign also showcases the sushi chefs better.
Only opportunity for improvement is sushi speed. We got our appetizers and entrees and two rounds of drinks before the sushi came. And we ordered sushi immediately when we were seated.
But food is always great, portions leave a leftover for lunch the next day, and the new dining room feels more like a dining experience than just a place to get a bite.
Food and service were wonderful, sushi was fresh and delicious!
Newly renovated beautiful space! Food is good but be aware that the menu is not entirely the same as the other locations.
Go early. No just another Great Sushi restaurant. Full menu. I always get them to substitute pineapple for a vegetable because they prepare it so well. Everything is cooked after you order it. Very polite. Fun to dress up to go there. You'll see people you know.
Excellent service and food!!
Lovely meal. Macadamia crusted trout.
The renovated restaurant looks great. The food is very good. Loudest restaurant I have ever eaten in. Every table was full & I could not hear my wife from across the table, or the waitress. The waitress basically used sign language to ask if I wanted more water. The restaurant desperately needs some sound absorbing soft panels added to the walls or ceiling or both.
Get the Submarine Roll! It's the best! As well as the service.
Great restaurant! A bit pricey, but the food was great, staff was helpful, and the restaurant was clean.
THE BEST FOOD EVER
Delicious food
Terrible place they do not care about the costumers. While we were eating the pest control guy came and start to spray the room. We left quickly.
Really nice. A little bit of a wait time.
This restaurant has great food and excellent customer service. I love it.
The food was great. The service was speedy. The fried squid was fresh and crispy. The chicken satay was juicy and authentic. Highly recommend the chicken cashew.
Surin was awesome it was the first time I had been there. We were celebrating a birthday. Everybody's food I tasted was just the best! The drinks were good and the prices were reasonable.
Awesome selection of Asian cuisine. Love the Crunchy Sushi and Hot & Sour Soup.
Recommend to everybody
Excellent food and service.
The trout was outstanding!!
Always get the coconut soup; it is magical. I have yet to experience a bad dish here. The service is excellent.
I have been looking for noodles that equaled the ones I had in Dubai! Surin nailed it! We will be back!! Service was outstanding as well!!
Our go to restaurant. Always good
Service was fast and pleasant, appetizers were excellent. The pad Thai and spicy mixed seafood entrees were quite good. Reasonable pricing.
Whatever you get, it's all good by the way, you would hate yourself if you didn't get the Crab Angels.
Sushi was 2 star but the good service and seafood soup made me bump it up another star.
Great place for lunch
Great food and service in a pleasant, family friendly atmosphere. Sushi and Sashimi is always fresh and tasty and their other favorite offerings of mine are Spicy Beef Salad, Duck in Red Curry, Crab Angels, Coconut Shrimp Soup, and Thai Fried Rice with Shrimp; but I have never ordered anything I didn't enjoy.
The Chicken Noodle Bowl ROCKS. Staff is always friendly and attentive.
Buy
Good, but parking can be an issue. Great location.
I love every Surin I've been to. I can't help it, I always get the Spicy Beef Salad. Coconut soup is out of this world ❤️
Always a great experience! I love going for their spicy seafood stir fry and my kid loves the noodles!
The service was only fair and the food very mediocre
Demetrius gave us great service, everything was delicious!
I love this place. The food is great, and very reasonable. I have been here twice and will definitely return the next time I'm in Birmingham.
Very hard to find.
Surin rarely, if ever, disappoints. Whether sushi and the incredible Super Crunch, traditional Thai meals like Chicken Panang, or the savory coconut soup, the menu is a crowd pleaser.
Fast service, food was great but there was a roach crawling on the wall.
Bad food
Good and healthy food.
Great as always. We really enjoy the sushi.
I love Surin!
Fresh sushi and very good Thai food
As always great food and service
The manager is extremely rude and the wait was awful.
Not for me
We liked the food and the service was good. The place was clean. I’ve been to the other Surin restaurants and thought they were terrible. This place is different. We’ll be back for sure.
Seems like everyone is having issues with this place. Used to be our go-to when we didn't feel like cooking. Placed a to-go order last night and when I got there, the guy behind the bar charged me again even though I paid online. Luckily we caught it and he took care of it - he was quite nice about it. Got all the way home to realize my chicken dish was actually shrimp - but it was breaded so I couldn't tell from looking at it. They're quite lucky I don't have a shellfish allergy. It's not like it was busy when I went in, they had 2 or 3 tables and the place was empty. I called and they said they'd have my proper order waiting on me. Here's where the problem starts. When I walked in, I made eye contact with the manager who then conveniently ducked in the back before I got to the bar. She may have had something to do, I'm not sure, but she knew who I was and why I was there. As I was picking my food up she then quickly walked from the back into the kitchen. There was no mention of any sort of discount or compensation for having to make 2 trips, and my wife's food being now cold at home because she wanted to wait on me. Won't go back to this location based on this experience, and we're almost weekly customers.
The staff were very pleasant when ordering and asking about menu options. I gave them 3 stars due to the food tasting very bland. Since I didn't think to ask for any sauces to put on the fried rice dish I ordered, because normally I don't need it, I was even more disappointed about the .50 I spent on a half filled cup of blazing sauce....don't remember the name of sauce. Interesting enough, the little bit of sauce was enough for the amount of rice I had. I have been on a mission to find an just one other thai place that I like over my neighborhood one and have been coming up short.
Has the masaman beef, and it was excellent!
My favorite place to get gluten free stir fry! Atmosphere is not my favorite, so I usually get it to go.
Meh. Not even good Americanized Thai. Won't return.
Great food and good service.
Best Thai in town of Birmingham! I am a big foodie
