A longtime resident of Sun West Promenade Surang’s Thai Kitchen recently changed hands, the new name “Mama Surang Thai Kitchen” paying homage to its founders while cookery is now in the hands of a native of Thailand who worked with Alex Stratta and Guy Savoy.
Now back from their homeland after the pandemic, a husband and wife team with their children frequently helping out around the Restaurant, Mama Surang Thai Kitchen is found on Fort Apache between Hacienda and Russel with minimal signage but a welcoming atmosphere.
Far from lavish, minimal décor and a few tables filled by locals, Surang’s menu focuses on traditional Thai flavors with just a hint of fusion utilized to accentuate flavor without compromising high quality Ingredients.
Cooked to order in a small kitchen, take-out occasionally delaying service, guests are invited to begin with Iced Coffee or Thai Tea with Cream plus appetizers such as fresh Spring Rolls filled with crunchy Vegetables.
Intended such that “every plate serves an experience,” a bowl of Tom Kha richer than that of Lotus of Siam, Surang’s Beef Salad at spice “Level 5” finds plenty of seared Steak mellowed by Lime Dressing on a bed of mixed Greens.
Next offered “Crispy Fish Delight,” Flouder flash fried and teaming with Red Peppers amidst Beans with sharp notes of Ginger, Surang’s Drunken Noodles go all-in by comparison to the rest of Vegas featuring everything from crispy Pork to Baby Corn and Mushrooms.
Making several styles of Curry each day, Chef’s suggestion of Panang with spoon-tender Short Ribs an absolute delight in terms of taste and texture, Dessert stays traditional featuring faultless Sticky Rice and a ripe Mango out of Mexico.
