We were visiting from the Chicago area, and had an exceptional dinner here. It is beautifully decorated and Jena and the wait staff, were SO WONDERFUL! Hands down, everyone's favorite dish was the garlic mussels. We've never seen mussels this size!! Overall, a first class establishment!

We weren't expecting such amazing food but boy were we happy!! We had Tom Kha Gai, Pad Thai, Cashew Chicken and Curry. Nothing disappointed. Fresh, full of flavor and we had a lot of food left over. Comfortable atmosphere and fast friendly service - I highly recommend this Thai restaurant.

Amazing Thai food where the Fried Rice was one of the best. I loved their Pad thai and the coconut soup with chicken.

Let me start off by saying service was amazing! Very attentive waitresses who are friendly and ensure you are treated excellently during your dining experience. Waters always topped up with frequent but not intrusive check-ins. Great atmosphere and seating.
Food, for the most part, was adequate. We ordered about 7 dishes and about 3 of them we couldn't really tell the difference between each (similar veggies, sauces/spices - tastewise, dishes were not unique from one another). Unfortunately all our guests thought the dishes were very high in sodium. We described the chicken, veggie, and seafood dishes as very similar to the average household could make at home for a regular dinner, but surprisingly (and I am sad to say this) worse since it was salty, less fresh, with chicken less moist/tender/juicy, and veggies that tasted like something quickly stir fried for a buffet style restaurant. Only dish that was truly delicious was the Phad Thai Gai (chicken pad thai) - noodles were great, with crisp bean sprouts, nicely grounded peanuts, all stir-fried in a good sauce.
One thing to note, Sookjai gives very good meat portions - most notably for the chicken dishes. Also the peanut sauce is excellent- nice and creamy, lighter peanut taste.
Can't say I'd recommend this place as I've definitely tried better Thai elsewhere in Victoria, but the service here is truly top notch and that in itself is definitely worth something.
