Surin is one of the oldest Thai restaurants in Atlanta. While many Thai restaurants have come and gone, Surin has remained popular throughout the years. While there are various locations of Surin now, the original, in the Virginia Highland neighborhood is still the most popular. For those looking for a romantic evening, this isn't the best choice as seating is cafeteria style. Some of the best coconut soup in Atlanta can be found here. At lunch get the barbecue chicken and at dinner don't miss the Three-flavored fish. Vegetarians will appreciate the many options here. Soft-shell crab fans will love it in the green curry. Great choice for groups.
