Came here on a Saturday at 5PM and we were promptly greeted and seated. Water, a wonton appetizer, and menus were brought immediately for us to snack on while perusing the menu. We ordered several items and they were brought quickly, all at once.

5/5 Naked wing crispy garlic: deliciously juicy and well fried.
3.5/5 Crisp chicken with panang curry (mild): the curry was amazingly sweet and aromatic. So full of flavor and subtle spices. The chicken was thinly battered and crispy but a little on the dry side.
4/5 Chicken satay (4 skewers): flavorful and well grilled.
5/5 Thai bbq skewers (3 skewers): ordered the pork and it was moist and well seasoned.
5/5 Sweet sugar roll: they were like sweet thin pancakes and such a delight. Highly recommend!
5/5 Thai tea: sweet, creamy, and a perfect complement to the spices.

Excellent service! Our server was attentive, courteous, and overall very pleasant. Looking forward to coming back to try some of the other dishes.

This is my go-to Thai spot in Long Beach. I usually get the orange chicken with a side of spring rolls and chicken satay. The peanut butter sauce they serve with the chicken satay is phenomenal.

27$ for a seafood hotpot that had two shrimp and two muscles… Kinda ridiculous for a hot pot full of almost nothing but mushrooms.

Diner Review β„–18

Great friendly service. The wait staff is very attentive and always ready to enhance your dining experience.

However, the star of the show is the food. You can taste the love in every dish that they serve.

The BBQ Pork Skewers appetizer is sooo good.

The Seafood Soup is perfectly balanced and delicious with plenty of seafood.

The Mango Sticky Rice is not only a feast for the eyes but a symphony in your mouth. The foam gives it that extra punch of flavor.

Spicy Sugar Thai Long Beach is a MUST stop by when you're in the neighborhood.

The food was so so delicious and I chose the spot because they had lots of vegan and non vegan options. I ordered the pan fried green curry chow mein with soft tofu and it was amazing. I wasn't too hungry so I had enough to fill me up and had plenty of leftovers (still so good hours later).

They do let you know on different parts of the menu that they are a small family owned kitchen so things will likely take time. We understood and appreciated the heads up. They weren't kidding lol if you go, and you absolutely should, be prepared to have patience.

Overall great experience and would definitely dine again.

Diner Review β„–21

Driven by it a million times and decided to give it a go after seeing a post on IG. Sadly like most IG posts the place failed to impress.

The pork nam tok was bitter and the pork almost dry, there was no fat on it so IMO it missed the mark.

The pad see ew was good but lacking wok hei.

Missed our duck rolls, they were delivered to the table behind us yet we were still charged for them.

Prices are on the higher side for this experience and environment.

There is a secrete menu with some items that did not have pricing in them.

Diner Review β„–22

My friend saw this place on Instagram and so we decided to give it a try. The food was so delicious!
Service was a bit slow as there were only 2 waiters for the restaurant and looked like 3 in the back kitchen. Food came out slow too.

We were given complimentary crispy fried wonton and three sauces after we sat down. We ordered Thai iced tea, garlic chicken wings, and duck spring rolls to start.
Love the duck spring rolls. The herbs were very fresh and the duck wasn't too oily. The chicken wings were good too.
For the main course, we ordered the whole fried fish platter and the pork belly tom yum ramen. My friend who had the ramen loved it. The fried fish was crispy and light. Lots of meat. It's a big portion and it was enough for two of us to share.

I definitely want to return to try other dishes!

Diner Review β„–23

Friendly and welcoming staff, amazing choices and always delivers in taste! Clearly marked vegan options, a great place to diner for Thai lovers who eat both plant based and meat! The Thai iced tea with coconut milk is out of this world, and fresh fried crackers with hot sauce and sweet sauce complimentary with service really put this place over the edge.

So good I’m writing a review while eating my Ramen Stir Fry! Such a good spot for quality food with plenty of options. Pleasant staff and punctual with pick up times πŸ‘

We visit the restaurant late in the evening because we need something to eat after arriving in Longbeach. It was open very late and was actually still very busy. The staff was very friendly and also brought a small free appetizer. Three different recipes, including green curry, party and cashew chicken. We would recommend the restaurant!! πŸ‘πŸΌπŸ‘πŸΌ

Always a hit

Diner Review β„–27

Oh my gaaaawd, the food is amazing here! The first time I came, I tried their pad thai. It was wonderful. I knew I had to come back. The server was a polite young man who brought us wontons with 3 dipping sauces. One was a sweet chili, another was a spicy green sauce, and the last was a spicy red sauce. I was sweating before my plate came out! But all good, that how it's supposed to be. I had their thai Agua chile, and man, that flavor! The tang, the spice.. everything about was on point. I ordered the papaya salad and wasn't really impressed with it. It didn't have enough flavor. It was pretty bland, but I would like to give the place the benefit of the doubt and chalk it up to maybe a bad batch. I'll try it again another time because I was loving everything else! I can't wait to come back and try EVERYTHING!

Thai tea was extraordinary!
chefs katts special rice plate is a must try!! Definitely recommend if you’re in downtown long beach looking for authentic thai food :)

Diner Review β„–29

I went here for the first time today and was so pleasantly surprised. I’ve spent a few months in Thailand backpacking and typically get Thai food for takeout. I drove up San Diego to try to get something a little more authentic. I was not disappointed! The food was authentic and fresh and presented so well. The atmosphere was fun and but be prepared to wait a little for your food. Their kitchen is small so it takes a little longer to produce the food. Definitely going back!

I am here at least once a week. This is by far one of my favorite local spots. It is small, cozy and delicious. The music is always a vibe. I enjoy their Thai Iced Tea and if you stop in on weekends I strongly suggest you try the Grilled BBQ Skewers! You will not be disappointed.

Good food, good service, fair price. I like this restaurant Because they have plenty of menu items for people who eat meat or seafood, and vegetarian meals. Something for everyone. This is a parking impacted area so you may have to park a block or 2 away. That's not a problem for most of us, but something to think about if you have little kids or mobility issues.

Make sure to ask for the Special Thai menu

Food was delicious. Great service. Clean, great atmosphere πŸ‘Œ. The waitress was on top of everything. Kat was also making sure we were having everything we need and good experience. The best Thai restaurant in long beach. πŸ˜‹.. My 9 year old daughter is a vegetarian and she loved the food tofu fried noodles was her favorite. Definitely coming back anytime...

We had fried rice and yellow curry and Emily had chicken pad Thai. It's delicious food, the server was kind and the atmosphere is friendly and like a family owned restaurant, you can tell the people who work here care 😘 thanks for the great food 🫢

Cute spot! Right next door to the sushi place - drive around a little and you'll find parking. Friendly staff and local hangout. Food is delish. Some dishes were a touch sweet but the rest were spot on. Got plenty of lighter dish options and you get the nice carby, heavy ones too.

Food is delicious but, the prices are way too high. I want to order from here again, but being that the prices are so high I second guess ordering from here. Nice place, friendly workers! Nice spot but they just raised there prices! Not cool.

Diner Review β„–50

I live in the neighborhood and go several times a month to eat at this place. I go with my dog every single time and she always gets a bow with water and a bowl of chicken and broccoli on the house! The owner loves dogs and this is the most friendly place you will find in Long Beach to have dinner with your pooch. You will need to eat at the tables outside, of course, but they are very cosy and your dog will be able to sit with by you.
Apart from this, food is amazing, love it, every single time! I feel grateful every time we enjoy a meal at this restaurant, and my dog, of course would to come over for breakfast too, if she could!

I’m in love with this place ! They’re under new ownership and the menu is so great and authentic. I’m vegan so I got the Tom yum soup with vegan chicken & the Pad Gai noodles (yes, β€œPad Gai”) with no onions and added chicken πŸ’• my Thai craving is satisfied

I ordered yellow curry chicken for to go . It took too long to be prepared, and i was so disappointed on the food . They literally put few small pieces of chicken and the rest were just veggies and water . I have been to so many different Thai restaurants and i always have the same order and i never had something like this , and they are charging 18$ . I was going to give one start but the lady working there was nice and polite

Ask them for what’s not on the menu. You’ll get the Thai food you had back in Thailand.
I recommend you their grilled fish. Please make sure you call them in advance for this dish. They need more than half an hour to cook the fish. We didn’t call and we waited. So worth it. The rest was quick.

I’ll keep coming back to try everything on the menu!!

We came here for the first time last night at 10 pm. Our server was really nice however, our food didn’t come out until 11:30 pm. We waited for about an hour and half for our dinner. I asked our server to just box it up for us to take. She apologized for the delay but definitely never had a bad experience as this.

Diner Review β„–64

My favorite food is definitely Thai, and every time I check out a new Thai spot I HAVE to get the Pad See Ew… Top tier Pad See Ew at spicy sugar..! Has that roasted taste and the sweetness wasn’t too much, loved it. I also got the sweet sticky rice, vegetable egg rolls, and Lao papaya salad. The vegetable egg rolls were delicious and came out hot and fresh, sweet sticky rice was also tasty, although they don’t put the coconut milk sauce as most places do, I still appreciated the rice itself and wasn’t too sweet (as I prefer). Wasn’t a fan of the Lao papaya salad as it had a distinct taste, but I can see why people love it.

4 stars for service ONLY because it may take longer than usual to get your order out, for both dine in and takeout. Keep in mind this is a small restaurant and family owned, so I wasn’t expecting super fast service. Honestly didn’t mind it at all because of how beautiful and aesthetically pleasing the inside is! Will be coming here again if I’m ever in this part of LA🀞🏽

This was such a fun happy caring dining experience. The interior designer has impeccable taste in decor!

Ty for accommodating my gluten diet sensitivity, we highly recommend this place!!!

Went here with some coworkers while in town for a conference. This was definitely the best meal we had in Long Beach. The food was tasty, well-priced, and the drinks were great. The service was on another level. Everyone was beyond friendly and fun to be around. I am jealous of the locals who get to come here whenever they want and spend time in this lovely little restaurant with these genuinely good people. If I'm ever back in Long Beach, I'll make sure to come back!

Diner Review β„–83

Last night I ordered my usual: spicy chicken ramen and mango sticky rice...an early Mother's Day gift to myself. They were both completely unsatisfactory. I know there's a new chef in the kitchen. However, I am extremely unimpressed.
My rating went from ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ to a ⭐️. I'm totally bummed because I have ordered food from them many times over the past year, with perfectly consistent, delicious food. I have raved about their food to everyone I know. Looks like I have to find another a Thai restaurant.

Best shrimp fried rice, I'm pretty sure it's just the green spicy garlicy sauce that compliments it so well. But I've yet to find a fried rice I like after eating this one. I come here at least once a week πŸ˜…
2 years later ..... And it's only getting better, they've remodeled the place and the staff is always so nice. Always a recommended spot for yummy comfort foodπŸ˜‹πŸ€€

So much politeness and they checked on our experience as we were there to make sure we were comfortable and if we need anything.πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ™

Diner Review β„–93

my goodness.
got there at 1030pm and spent nearly thirty minutes trying to find parking. insanely difficult as it is downtown long beach. i don't mark down the restaurant for that.

you know what i do mark the restaurant down for?
1. ticket began at 1101 pm and we left the restaurant at 12 am. we spent an ENTIRE HOUR at the restaurant. mind you, we weren't chatting to make our time increase, we were just waiting for our food.

2. our food took AGES to arrive. we ordered the ramen with a "spin," pad kee mao, and spicy garlic fried rice. the ramen was the first to arrive after one and a half episodes of rick and morty. it was when the ramen was completely finished that a wrong dish arrived at our table. a couple minutes later, the pad kee mao arrived to much disdain.

3. how do you white wash culture so badly? the pad kee mao barely had any flavor, and same with the fried rice. in fact, all of the dishes had barely any flavor and tasted like a burp after eating from a very good thai place. how do you get rid of possibly any flavor? the ramen had a hint of the spice packet and came with carrots??? broccoli?? cabbage??? what the heck

it reminded me of when i was younger and had to wash my ramen in water before eating it. barely any flavor, barely any taste, barely anything.

they seemed to be extremely understaffed in the kitchen. perhaps it was because it was an hour before closing, but that is no way a restaurant should function.

EDIT
i have no desire to dine here again. this restaurant is considered a joke between my partner and i.

Diner Review β„–94

This place is amazing! I came in with a group, so we ordered an array of apps and entrees to share. Every single thing that we ordered was super fresh and absolutely delicious. I love that you can choose your protein and spice level for most dishes, and that they have a ton of vegan and vegetarian options (which made it easy to accommodate everyone). We also tried some fun soju cocktails and they did not disappoint! My only problem is that I don't live closer to Long Beach! The food is so good that I will absolutely make the trip to come back!

Ordered the chicken noodle soup and a tea the tea was amazing the chicken soup tasted like boiled water zero flavor at that point I should had just opened a can of Campbell’s chicken soup. Maybe I got a bad batch. Pretty surprised cause everything else I have ever had here was amazing. Sorry for the soup review guys but that one is a thumbs down for me.

Modern cool. Great ambiance and decor. Good service. We ordered 4 dishes, three of which tasted good but overly SALTY, even for my salt-loving athletic spouse. The trio of fresh sauces/salsa was tasty, wanted to eat more of it, but two was much too spicy. Overall, good first time dining under the new ownership. Superior flavors to Kin Long and Thai Silk. Congrats to the new owners!

Diner Review β„–101

While we love this restaurant our family can no longer afford to eat here. Also their prices online vs in store do not match. It’s cheaper for us to order on Uber eats than order in their restaurant. But we can’t keep doing that as they just raised their prices even more. $40 for 2 pad Thai and one Thai tea.

Best Thai place in Long Beach! The garlic fried rice with chicken (get an extra green sauce if you like spice) is my go to, but I've tried about 5 other things and everything has been great. I think there was a recent ownership change but I haven't noticed any difference in the food or service.

Diner Review β„–121

We've been ordering from here for the last year or so, but I think they change cooks. The pad Thai was seasoned wrong or differently and the crab rice was okay but nothing to write home about. Hopefully it was just a bad day, but I think we'll change to a different Thai place now. Sorry guys.

Diner Review β„–122

Decided to stop by Spicy Sugar on a whim with some friends and it did not disappoint. Everything we got - roasted duck red curry, pad thai, basil noodle, and tom kha was all so delicious. Highly recommend the food here! But what elevated our experience was the service, Enrique at the front single handedly served all the tables, and serviced people coming in and out for pick up orders. He was professional, gave us great recommendations and made sure to come around to check on our table regularly. We will definitely be back, happy to have found this gem!

Diner Review β„–123

Unfortunately, we didn't get try the food because the service was horrible. We stood in line for a while waiting to be acknowledged. Once we were greeted and seated, we waited another 20 minutes before having to ask if someone was going to take our order. The response was someone will be there shortly. About 10 minutes later someone came by only to say I can't take your order right now as I have to take care of another table and we are short staffed today. I can respect that, but let me and the many people waiting in line know there will be a long wait because you're understaffed. Having people wait an eternity to order is the easiest way to lose customers. After all the waiting and seemingly no end to this madness, we left without ordering. Needless to say we won't be going back.

My garlic shrimp with added scallops was less then enjoyable not sure on what planet this was considered stir fry but it was more like a boiled seafood dish then anything else. I didn't eat the dish and they still charged me for it. The manager on duty also avoided coming over to make sure everything was good with the meal. The atmosphere feels like a cafeteria. I will not be ordering any food from this location till they make some very nessecary changes.

Ever since going to Blue Bird Sushi my first time, I remember noticing Spicy Sugar Thai next door and wanting to check on any potential Vegan options. After finding Spicy Sugar Thai has Vegan options, I decide I'm going to eat at the eatery soon. I order a tofu-vegetable-rice medley which is really good especially with the chilli powder, and the sauce (of which I don't ask about) is really good with the meal too. I think all portions of the food taste better together than apart. Customer service is on point!

When they are good, they are GREAT but they are not consistent. You never know how your food will come out, did they follow your requests? Probably not...but when they do AMAZING

Honestly this is one of the best Thai food restaurants in Southern California. Spicy sugar is located in Long Beach and it’s a restaurant that has been handed from father to daughter. The food is good, fresh and authentic. I liked all the dishes that were brought out. The waiting time for the food to come out is not long. The staff and the owner are really attentive, friendly and helpful. Please check this restaurant out and treat yourself.

If I could give a zero star I would. RUDEST staff ever, that gives you an attitude, says you are wrong and, wait, closes the kitchen at 10:30pm even though they say they are open till 11pm. Tells us at 10:20pm that we HAVE to be here in five mins.Tons of customers wanting to give this place business yet they are more concerned about closing early and getting out of there sooner. Don't fool us - I've been in the restauraunt business way too long to fall for that. I seriously can't with this place. Please have some respect for the people that makes it possible for keeping those doors open.

Thai tea at times can be hit and miss, one time we got it and the cream seemed a tad off. I ordered massaman curry from here thinking it was going to be peanut but it wasn’t at all. I might be mistaking the thai curry but it was still good. Pad see ew from here was beautifully spicy when requested as so. The customer service is also great.

First time ordering here. First time using DoorDash. Food arrived still hot not warm or cold. Which is a plus for me. Love the Tom Yum Seafood mix and chicken. I thought it will be a small amount but it filled up the big bowl. Which I was impressed because a lot of spot give you a small amount. Family movie night and we all enjoyed it. Will order from here again!

The food here is pretty incredible. I love the pad Thai and the fried rice. I'm still working on trying as many different things as possible, but the last few times I've gone, I just can't turn down the pad Thai.

Everyone should shop by and buy something. The treasures that you find in this unique African facility I want to call it a museum or a art gallery will be a treasure that you keep forever and passed on for generations to come.

Very flavorful dishes. They offer several vegan options. I had pineapple shrimp curry, it was a little soupy, but great flavors and textures. My husband had the vegan Pad Thai noodles, said it was delicious. As others have pointed out, parking is not plentiful, may take a bit of time to find an opening within a couple of blocks, so if you're dining before a movie, or appointment, plan extra time to find parking.

Great food and service.

Diner Review β„–197

Fried wontons were full of oil. Egg rolls were wet inside and gooey. Just weird. Ramen seafood soup was $17 and not very memorable. It would be ok if it was $12. Just mostly squid and mussels. Spicy pad tai was ok. Curries were very salty. With so many good Thai restaurants in LB, you should skip this one.

Diner Review β„–198

Great customer service, very friendly, had the ginger fried rice and it was delish.

Just order 2 spicy ramen noodles. Not satisfying at all. No flavor. 0 stars if i could.
