Suki Jeh Ru Yi (สุกี้เจหรูยี่) Vegetarian Thai Restaurant

Surrounded by metal scrapers and motorcycle workshops, yet packed with little old Chinese Thai ladies, I knew Su Ki Jeh Ru Yi Restaurant (สุกี้เจหรูยี่) was going to be bomb!

The outside is painted a soothing turquoise and mustard green, and as you can see, it’s always a Happy New Year!

The menu was extensive and written in Thai, Chinese, and English along with neat little pictures to go with it.

It’s one of those menus that made me excited and I immediately wanted to order many more dishes than I knew I could actually handle – and they are all vegetarian Thai dishes!

Kuay Teow Yom Yum (Thai Noodles with Spicy Soup) - ก๋วยเตี๋ยวเจ

As I looked around the tiny restaurant, I noticed that most had ordered a bowl of tom yum, in some form or another. I took that as a hint to try the Kuay Teow Yom Yum (Thai Noodles with Spicy Soup).

It was most excellent for a vegetarian version. Nice and sour, lightly spicy, and just a tinge of creaminess to make rich soup broth. The noodles and other added fake meat ingredients acted to nicely soak up the delicious soup!

Price: 30 THB

Su Ki Jeh Ru Yi Vegetarian Restaurant - VIP Menu

Inside of Su Ki Jeh Ru Yi Vegetarian Restaurant (สุกี้เจหรูยี่), it’s very small, only about 5 main tables. I actually had to share a table with a few elderly Chinese Thai ladies who were just sitting around drinking tea and enjoying themselves.

This is a real Senior hangout spot!

The cultural dining aspect reminded me a bit of eating Zanzibari Mix along with with a crew of elderly ladies in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania.

When I busted out the camera, they started smiling and asking me questions. When I wolfed down 3 dishes by myself, they started asking even more questions… They were all extremely nice!

There are all kinds of colorful menu items and specials plastered on the walls. A couple of the ladies pointed out some of their favorites, but I have no idea what they are now.

Pad Het Ruam (mixed mushrooms)

As a lover of mushrooms I had to order the Pad Het Ruam (mixed mushrooms). There must have been about 12 different kinds of mushrooms on this plate, it was like cubes of succulent steak.

Price: 80 THB

Khao Gaeng Gali (rice with yellow curry)

The final dish that caught my interest was this Khao Gaeng Gali (rice with yellow curry). At the time of ordering, I didn’t know that it would include a deep fried cutlet at the bottom (I try to avoid deep fried things, but every now and then I’ll go for it). I went for it this time and it was delicious.

I honestly could have been fooled that this was a deep fried piece of some kind of meat. The heavy battered and deep fried cutlet covered in a mild yellow curry and served with rice was pretty tasty. It really reminded me of a Japanese curry katsu.

Price: 50 THB
