Wow! This place is popular, and it’s easy to see why. The service was attentive & welcoming. We didn’t book but arrived early enough to get a table (1 of the 2 remaining). That soon went. Had the stir fry red curry with chicken and the basil and chilli with beef. One of the best Thai meals, full of flavour and generous portions. I would love the chef to visit Hervey Bay and train a few of ours local restaurants Reasonably priced. Was served quickly. The owner was very accommodating. Highly recommended.

Absolutely loved our experience at Suganya’s Thai Restaurant! The food was hands down the best — full of flavour, fresh, and cooked to perfection. Every dish we tried was top-notch and truly satisfying. The prices were very reasonable for the quality you get, and the customer service was outstanding. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. If you’re looking for delicious Thai food, great value, and the best service in town — this is the place to go. Highly recommended. Top spot for Thai food!

Google Reviews just goes to show that some people either have no taste buds, or just like to complain. As a long time visitor to Bright, but first time trying Suganya's, I can tell you to ignore some recent comments and try it for yourself. First, the atmosphere... Quaint, cosy and welcoming (except that freezing wind every time the door opens ). The service? Attentive, prompt and quick. Wait staff checked on us often enough and were very polite. And now the food! Actually some of the tastiest Thai I've had and goes toe to toe with some of the best Melbourne cuisine! And when you get to enjoy it all with some amazing humans, you can truly say you had a great night...

Highly recommend as the food is absolutely delicious, we had both the half duck and seafood sizzling plates, vegetarian mini spring rolls pad Thai and coconut rice. All perfect. Lovely hospitality will definitely be back.

Delicious authentic Thai food! The crispy pork stir-fry was perfectly crunchy and full of flavour, the Panang pork curry was rich and creamy, and the Thai fish cakes were fresh and tasty. Great service with cute staff and a warm atmosphere, highly recommend!
