Surin West is a staple restaurant of Birmingham and of South Side. The restaurant serves up wonderful Thai food. The best dishes are the coconut soup, Wing of Angel (glazed chicken stuffed with a shrimp based stuffing), and the Super Crunch sushi. I would highly recommend the Super Crunch for all of the non-sushi people. It has no raw food and everyone who hates the thought of sushi and who tries it ends up loving it. The lunch menu is fairly cheap and offers quick food of the more popular dishes. One con, however, is that their staff is not always the most friendly. Definitely try it out if you haven't.
