I don't really know why Simply Thalia gets so slammed on Yelp.  I've had great experiences both here and at the Daley Plaza  Farmer's Market!  The staff is always friendly and they seem to have gotten the lunch buzz service straight, which can be tough.  AND THEY HAVE MOCHI!  Anywhere that serves mochi is a +1 for epicocity for me!  I've found that their lunch specials are very reasonably priced and have great flavors, especially the Bento Boxes and their drinks... if you're into a drinky-kinda lunch.  The long and short of it is that their location is great (esp being int he pedway) and I think that it's a good option for take-out and for a lunch date of some sort. Â
I'm kind of sad that other ppl don't love this place as much as I do because the owner, Vince, is always there over the lunch rush and he's very receptive to customer feedback. Â If you let him know, he'll do whatever he can to make sure that you leave happy.
This location is the epitome of bad customer service. myself and my friend went in to this establishment, on a Friday at 5:00pm just prior to winter-dance near-by. I have been to Thailand around 3times so when i visit Thai establishments I expect the same if not better experience. Â Not here. we walked in and the place was empty and still waited 5min to be acknowledged and seated that is after the hostess finished her food at the table in the corner 4min later . Once seated I asked the waitress for chicken satay and we she said that they don't have any chicken satay but they did have a chicken satay sandwich, after that the lady said maybe you need more time and abruptly walked away to join the rest of the employees at the table in the corner. My friend was ready to order and she ignored him. So we stood up and walked next door to wichwich and gave the people there our money, because I work with quite a few businesses in the vicinity i will be sharing my personal experience with my associates. if i could give negative stars I would.
Review Source:Value for $$ especially on happy hour menu for food and drinks!
Bangkok River Boat Pho - emphasizes that its a Thai dish. Â The dish agrees with Wikipedia that it is a beef stew (thicker and darker broth than the famous Vietnamese version). Â More pieces of meat and thicker in slice with dark brown marination of soy sauce with sweet taste. Â A hearty meal that can be easily split in 2.
It's a treat to enjoy Super White Tuna (escolar) during happy hour.
Small venue but not cramped.
Service is friendly and knowledgeable.
I want to put in a good word for this place since it seems the last few reviews weren't so favorable. Â I had the Burmese crazy noodle with chicken. Â It was a bowl full of bean sprouts, shaved carrots, a steamed wonton, lime, crushed peanuts and a side of coconut milk. Â Everything was fresh and delicious, and it was miles away from the usual Loop lunch hour fare. Â I'll be back to explore the menu.
Review Source:I wanted to like this place since it is near our house and I love Thai food, but this place is sub-par.
We ordered the fresh spring rolls with tofu and plum sauce and they were gross (I don't use that term lightly). The tofu was unseasoned and tasted sour. The rolls had no flavor and were covered with a syrupy sweet sauce. Both my husband and I had one bite and were DONE.
Our entrees were okay, but the produce didn't taste super fresh and the pad thai had a weird flavor. Something is off about this place.
This was my first time at Simply Thalia. It is located indoors of a shopping mall (unsure of the name) and the restaurant is at the pedway level. I grabbed takeout soup from here, when  I got there they had it ready and prepared as I asked. All I had to do was pay. Service was friendly.
The soups on the other hand...I ordered the Tom Yum (one of my favs) and Tom Kha soup (first time trying)... neither were that good, and the Tom Kha was had some spice in it that hit the throat! Not a pleasant feeling.
Disappointed with my food experience here.
Got some lettuce wraps to go the other day for lunch. Definitely NOT what I was expecting. It came with pieces of lettuce and cold, sugary chicken bits stuffed in five individual pre-made "cups". Probably took more time to assemble than to make. I was expecting warm chicken with bits of veggies and perhaps water chestnuts...with the ability to create my own lettuce wrap. Boy, was I wrong! Won't be dropping by here again!
Review Source:Located on the ground floor of Block 37, in the Chicago Pedway between the Blue and Red Lines, Simply Thalia might do if you really craved some Asian fusion food and were starving. If you can wait, you're better off.
I'd passed this restaurant many times, and had been curious. I was craving some Thai food. I also wanted a cream puff, so we stopped at Beard Papa's first. My friend and I were both hungry, and decided to go ahead and take a risk. Â She l o v e s Vietnamese banh mi, but has yet to find anything comparable to what she's had in Houston. I concur. She ordered a chicken banh mi, and she received an Asianified panini. Seriously. I couldn't believe it. AND it cost like $7, with no complimentary sides. Truly WTF. Banh mi or Vietnamese baguette sandwiches in Houston cost between $2.50-$3. What a shame.
I ordered tofu pad thai. It was a huge portion, but was merely OK. Rather unremarkable. Could've been spicier. Thank god I had some red rooster garlic chili sauce at home to dress it up. The Singapore Tofu appetizer were flavorless triangles of fried tofu accompanied by a bland hoisin sauce.
While this was not as expensive or obnoxious as our previous experience at RA Sushi, the bland, uninspired food was a similar, but different repeat.
If it weren't for the Beard Papa mission, we would've skipped this and went to Union Sushi's Happy Hour instead. Â Will I never learn?!
Found thus little gem on our way to another restaurant and decided to try something new. Â We both went with the 8.95 lunch special, which included 1/2 sandwich, 1/2 etree and cucumber salad. Â We split an appetitzer which was shumai (very good! Small tasting portion) and a boa with bbq pork which was good but very bready. Â My sandwich was bbq pork and so good! Â It was my favorite thing that I ate. Â My entree was curry beef with rice. Â It was delicious. Â The sauce was awesome and spciy so the cucumber salad really helped with the fire in my mouth. Â Service was fast and you can easily get in and out in less than hour. Â It was nice to eat lunch at a sit down place for once.
Review Source:Awful. Ordered the lunch special, Pad Thai with half a beef Bahn Mi. The noodles had the wrong sauce and the sandwich had the wrong kind of bread...overall, tasteless and COLD. After one bite, it was time to get money back and find somewhere else to eat! Two thumbs down, WORST Thai food EVER.
Review Source:We had an overall enjoyable dinner. We really enjoyed all of our food, but the service just leaves something to be desired. While they have a "Please wait to be seated" sign, it took a while to be noticed, just to be told to sit wherever we pleased. Really, it was a small bother, but the customer service as a whole could use some work.
The wonton soup was flavorful (possibly over-spiced, depending on your preferences). The Crazy Tuna was delicious - good size, ingredients were fine (I don't know if I could tell if the fish wasn't perfect, with all the sauce and everything else in it, to be honest) and it was covered in the sauces. The Manhattan was satisfying as well. All of the avocado pieces were fresh and huge; very pleasing.
I would return if I found myself in the Pedway again.
I had been to Thalia Spice, and was really surprised that they serve Malaysian style curry noodles there. They nailed the taste of the broth, I was impressed.
Likewise, Simply Thalia is a more casual eatery, located in the Block 37 mall. I wouldn't walk all the way to come eat here but it's probably the more decent and affordable restaurant in this block, unless you prefer Corner Bakery or Cosi or Au Bon Pain. I realize that's not saying much, but if you're in this mall, it's worth giving it a try.
I didn't try the sushi. I'm fixated on Malaysian flavors, opted for the Laksa noodles. This is not true Laksa, more like curry mee or mee udang. Very flavorful and the ingredients are authentic (spongy tofu and sprouts and seafood).
I also had the peking duck over rice (just okay.. needs soup or something), and the roti canai appetizer (too small but the taste is SPOT on).
Also our appetizer arrived after the entrees.
They have daily drink/happy hour specials. I say give it a shot.
I really should have hightailed it out of there once I read my Yelp friends' reviews:
"You ever finished a meal and been so pissed you wanted to slap somebody?" - Sabrina M.
"Just... just don't. Â Don't do it. Â Really." - Mikey J.
But I saw a friend there and she said it was "pretty good."
I gave into hunger.
I ordered the Shanghai tang ramen based on my server's recommendation.
My noodles came out in a decent-sized bowl. The presentation was nice. It had lots of char siu (Chinese BBQ pork), a few wontons and baby bak choy sitting on top of a bed of egg noodles. It looked good.
Then came the taste. I picked up my soup spoon and my chopsticks, and I mixed up the ingredients a little bit in my bowl. Then I tasted the soup with my metal spoon.
What is this? It tasted like they used the seasoning from an instant ramen package for the soup base. It had too much MSG, too much salt and other undistinguishable seasoning. They added minced garlic and some chopped scallions on top of it, perhaps to hide the fact that the soup base was made from a packaged seasoning. Bleh.
I ate the char siu and the baby bak choy. At least these items tasted like "real" food. The char siu seemed a bit old; it wasn't soft and tender as pieces of freshly made cha siu should taste like. The bak choy was also a bit old, as though it's been sitting in the fridge for at least a week. It wasn't springy or crunchy at all, but rather limp (but not too limp that you'd think they simply overcooked it).
The egg noodles (commonly seen in wonton noodle soups) were decent. It wasn't springy either. I'm used to fresh egg noodles from the markets that has a hint of lye... Either Simply Thalia has done an extremely good job of washing out the lye-water or these were old noodles. The noodles had no flavor.
In essence, I felt like I bought instant noodles for close to $10 when really it was probably worth $1.50-2 (for the extra ingredients).
Did I feel so pissed that I wanted to slap somebody? Not quite, but I'm going to stay away.
Just... just don't. Â Don't do it. Â Really.
The food is moderate at best, service is below par, portions small, and overpriced. Â Sushi is decent, but really why would you come here out of all the places available in Chicago.
When I came here with some family, they were out of at least three items we tried to order.
It's like they gave it a decent try, but it's just not right.
I have to say, stay away from this place, the manager(a guy) is super fake friendly person, he took our order with smile then became very mean toward the end because we didn't order any drinks. He thinks he is losing money, their food is horrible, worst sushi ever.
And it's not very clean either, so pick panda express over this thing.
I don't know why the reviews are so low for Simply Thalia. It is hard to find decent food downtown, and even harder to find decent Asian food. I'm usually not a big fan of Asian fusion restaurants, but Simply Thalia does sushi, pad thai, and bahn mi pretty well and add their own twist to each dish.
The owner is very nice and welcomes suggestions for improvement. The sushi is yummy and fills me up surprisingly quickly. I recommend the crazy tuna roll, and the karma sutra is interesting to try.
I planned to try this place as I'd seen it in Block 37 at various times but didn't have time. I was downtown for the Open Streets event and decided that this would be the best time to get to try it.
Vincent greeted me at the door and already knew that I was meeting someone there. It almost felt like I had arrived at someone's home for lunch, except that the decor was nicer than most homes! He was very friendly and enthusiastic - which was really nice. The decor is warm and friendly - but a little more high-end than you would think for a place that has such affordable food.
I had really been hankering for some Tom Yum -- so I ordered the meal portion (they also have a smaller portion which is nice, in case you want more than just ramen) and it was delicious! Perfectly seasoned with very generous helpings of all of the ingredients. Almost enough for two, really, if you wanted. I wound up eating most of it. My lunch partner also really enjoyed his chicken Bento Box lunch.
The service was wonderful - our waiter was delightful and Vincent came over to check on us.
I'll be excited to go back and try other dishes when I'm in the area.
We were in a hurry to go somewhere and needed a quick dinner, and Simply Thalia was the first restaurant out of the train station.
Roti canai with chicken curry was good. Â The curry was well seasoned, but the bread didn't look or taste like roti canai. Â Bahn mi was objectively edible but completely unauthentic (wrong bread, wrong meat, wrong sauce) - super disappointing. Â The laksa was probably the best of the day. Â It was a red curry laksa with fish cake and shell fish. Â The soup had good umami and mild spice. Â
Decor was dark and somewhat contemporary (verging on nondescript). Â Service was deplorable. Â At one point, the waitress made a mistake (she sent the wrong dish). Â When we told her that wasn't what we ordered, she became visibly upset and left without offering any apology or explanation. Â From her facial expression, she probably thought it was our fault that she sent the wrong dish. Â Her attitude persisted. Â One more order mistake happened after that, this time by a different waiter, who was at least somewhat apologetic. Â I can deal with incompetence (well, kind of), but I refuse to babysit an angry child when I'm the paying patron. Â
Note to self - never come back again. Â Lesson to you all - yelp before you go to a new place.
I came here for lunch on my first day of work, and was disappointed with the food here. Â Being not too hungry, I ordered two appetizers: the Bangkok Roll and seaweed salad. Â The Bangkok Roll consisted of Soft fresh roll with tofu, cucumber, bean sprouts, egg, apricot sauce, and was a sore disappointment.. Â The filling inside was scanty, with a tiny piece of fried tofu and a few scattered pieces of veggies scattered in a rice paper too thick and dull for my taste. Â The sauce drizzled all around the rolls was overpoweringly sweet and dominated the rest of the ingredients like a useless king too hungry for power.
The seaweed salad was too sour and the other flavors such as sweet and sesame, was overpowered by the vinegar. Â It just tasted like some seaweed tossed into sauce and not property marinated; the flavors seemed just to coat the food, instead of penetrate through it. Â It's a good thing that my conversation was so interesting, it took my full attention off of how disappointing my food was.
Not a wonderful sign for my first local restaurant in downtown Chicago. Â As I later found, it's a lot harder to find good food in Chicago than it is in New York, especially for random places. Â There are good ones, but it takes research, diligence, and trial and error. Â And a lot of reading Yelp reviews. Â At least that's one thing I'm good at...
I'm pretty shocked at the amount poor reviews there are. I had a wonderful time. The owner Vincent even greeted us personally.
I love the decor for such a small restaurant in a mall. It doesn't feel like you're in a mall with jazz music playing and eclectic artwork on display.
I thought the food was artfully presented as well. Here is the run down:
Tom Yum Soup - some of the best I've had. A bit too salty but it is balanced out by the sweet and pulpy tomatoes and the fresh cilantro
Shumai - bigger then nost others I've had and the filling is rich and generous
Fruit Ceviche - quite creative! fresh fruits in lime jiuce mix with Asian crackers which gives a bit of crunch.
Beef River noodles - beef was a little dry but the is a noodle-soup dish liek Pho so the zingy broth takes care of it.
The prices are very fair as well. If you don't have time to eat there, at least got some food to go!
Seriously! Just, Goddamnit! Why do I always come back here only to be disappointed? I get the sushi here a lot for lunch only because it's close to work and (what I thought is) a better alternative to Chase's food court sushi. The first time I ever had it I thought it was fresh and fantastic. Now I'm thinking it was just one of those lucky days because all the other times it's sucked so hard. One day the rice is dry and undercooked and the next time it's overcooked and mushy. If a freaking Asian restaurant can't even cook rice properly, how the hell are they supposed to cook anything else right? And yes, the people who work there aren't pleasant or welcoming and get take out orders wrong.
oh and the Banh Mi is a joke!
There are definitely better places to choose from than here. Your second chances are over.
You ever finished a meal and been so pissed you wanted to slap somebody?
Thus explains completely my relationship to Simply Thalia.
Overpriced, so-so food, incredibly stingy portions, rude service...no thanks. You're paying for them to keep up with the rent at the failing Block 37. I kept a very open mind and tried this place several times...and each time I finished my food I wanted to slap somebody. Because I knew I had just wasted good money on very mediocre food.
There are other quite decent Pan-Asian restaurants in the Loop -- this is one you can skip.
Simply Thalia's menu is 2% Korean, 8% Thai, and 90% Japanese. My friends and I came here at 1 PM to skip the office wolf pack.
We cut to the chase and ordered the Mexican city maki, bibimbap, and pad Thai with tofu. The Mexican City maki was a regular set of sushi. The bibimbap was misspelled in the menu, but the portion, contents, and flavor was satisfying for the $10 it charged. The pad Thai with tofu was petty. It came in a mini bowl with mostly bean sprouts and a full piece of tofu was nowhere to be found. Did they mistaken my friend for a 10 year old and proceeded to take the initiative in serving her a kiddy's meal?
But all in all, it was still a pleasant experience. We were seated in the back corner behind the post but we weren't neglected. We were immediately served with glasses of water and menu sets upon arrival. I also like how their glasses have the different Chicago sports teams on it. Definitely can't say no to the Chicagoan pride!
They have one of my favorite sushi rolls in the city, mostly because its fish and herb combinations were perfectly in- line with my taste buds. Its called the Mexican roll. Yum! (I am going to get my local sushi place to make it for me!)
They had good won-ton soup and dumplings appetizer but the curry was not as flavorful as expected.
It is a bit of a boring atmosphere unless you sit in the back under some fun lamps and on wooden booth seating.
We enjoyed ourselves for dinner but probably wont be back unless we are by that mall for lunch some day. The location was not as expected and that the mall closes at 8 so there was really no one there for dinner.
I was looking for a thai restaurant , I had a craving for Thai coffee and some spicey hot curry. But there was alot of stuff that I love, I got ceviche, which was super fresh , and avcao vege maki and finished up with a salsa latino roll. I still got a Thai Iced tea. Im going to come back with my sweetie and we will get that curry I wanted.
I am so lucky I stumbled on this place.
My waitress was friendly and most of all quick! The place was clean, simply stated but very delicious with alot of variety I didnt expect.
Worst Banh mi sandwiches in Chicago. I ordered the Pork Banh mi and the Pork was like cardboard and impossible to eat. All this cardboard Pork was on stale bread.
I think you would have to be dumb or desperate to order sushi here if they can't get a Banh mi sandwich right.
The lady who took my order was nice and that is the only reason why this place got more than one star.
Do yourself a favor and go to Del Seoul if looking for a proper Banh mi.
I met a friend here for dinner the other night. She works downtown so I let her pick the place. Before I try a new place I Yelp it first. The reviews were pretty bad, but decided to give it a try. The place is rather small, which is fine because it's inside of a mall.
I ordered the tom yum soup with ramen noodles. Was it the worst Thai dish I've ever had? No. Was it the best Thai I've ever had? No. Will I return again? No.
I actually bought the Groupon as well, thinking it was for Thalia Spice. My mistake for not reading! It didn't matter, I thought I was bound to try it sooner or later on one of my numerous shopping trips on State so good thing I had a Groupon.
Which one is worse: Good food and poor service or bad food and good service?
The service was very slow. I'm a veggie and how hard can veggie maki rolls be to make? Their veggie menu isn't special at all, which just typical rolls with just asparagus rolls.. avo rolls. Other people around us that ordered their food after us got their food before we did, even though I noticed some were getting annoyed that their food took a while. The couple next to us was getting frustrated and overheard the lady said it has been over half an hour and she still haven't received her miso soup. How long does it take to get a bowl of miso soup?!!
The rolls were actually pretty decent good, for a casual restaurant.
Of course, our check took forever to come!!!! I was losing my patience and had to ask them about.
My sis and I had Singapore tofu for appetizers, which was pretty decent good. She ordered 2 rolls.. one was Mexico City and I forgot the other one. I ordered 3 veggie maki rolls that were 6.50 each/6 pieces.
Our total was more than $40 before Groupon and over $27 after Groupon.
Here is the worst part and the reason that did it for me which I will most likely not go back.... They charged us a service fee aka gratuity of $8!!! For TWO people in a casual restaurant??!! Are you serious? The food itself was overpriced, and they are going to charge us gratuity?
GET OUT!
Against my better judgment, I returned to Simply Thalia. I walked right past it one night on my way to the train and I was craving some sushi, so I thought I would give them a second chance.
The good part? They have sushi happy hours in which all of their sushi is half price.
The bad part? The sushi is still not very fresh and is flavorless.
First world problems...
Fusion confussion.
I went here twice. Â The first time was to have a to go 1/2-priced sushi rolls (I ordered all three - which were pretty standard - New Yorker, Chicago and California). Â
The second time was to eat-in this past Friday, after working hours. Â We missed the 1/2-price things (thanks to my hardworking bf), so I ordered the ramen soup. Â What a big mistake.
The broth is pretty bland, and the noodle, I swear - it looked like one of those instant ramen. Â I seriously could get a better noodle soup - *fresh* out of the package. Â (Yes, in whole humbleness, I make pretty mean instant ramen noodles).
I do like the ambiance, but that's about it. Â The decor was pretty chic, but the restaurant is small. Â On top of serving a full menu, they also have a full bar. Â If I were about to hang out and have a drink in the loop, I think I would definitely opt to go somewhere else. Â Bottom line, I'm not sure if I should go back to give this place another try.
What a great surprise & place to get a good banh mi sandwhich!
I stopped by to grab a quick lunch, the wait time was pretty decent & the sandwich!! oh my goodness...listen up, apparently there's been a major improvement in the vegetarian/vegan banh mi sandwich folks!
No mayo= lovely & delicious peanut sauce that makes for a great combination
It's also pretty affordable for the loop area at around $6 Â
I'll certainly be back!
Block 37 is a very strange place. Â It's like it's trying really hard to be a posh mall, but they're clearly bankrupt and have sacrificed quality in almost all decisions made here. Â HOWEVER! Â Thalia is certainly an exception. Â Strangely wedged off the Red Line entrance into the Pedway level, and a vacant retail space, I would have taken one look at Thalia and thought, "Sushi? Here? I'd be as likely to buy sushi from Walgreens." And oh, how wrong I would have been.
I wound up there after work to meet a friend and after 4:30 they have a great sale! $5 for Chicago, New Yorker, and California rolls. Â Plus half off sashimi. Â I can't pass up $5 sushi ever. Â Ever.
It. Was. Delicious. I had the $5 Chicago roll (1 and a half actually, my friend and I ordered another and split it because it was so good!) and the Super White Tuna sashimi- not the best I've ever had but I'd definitely order it again. Â I also have been here for lunch (it's a pricey lunch time place- much better deals for dinner) and ordered their curry noodles which was also really good. Â But, when I go back, it's the sushi that's going to be calling my name.
Curry is extremely difficult to find in this part of the loop. Â I can literally go to 100 quick serve restaurants within a 3 block radius of where I work, and maybe there are two options for curry. One is Noodles & Co, which is gross, and the other is a sit down restaurant where the entrees are all $15+. Â So to discover a new option near where I work that has...curry, is great. Â And being able to walk the 3 block walk from Prudential Plaza to Simply Thalia, without setting foot outside? Even better.
They seem to be trying to do everything Asian. Japanese (sushi, udon), Vietnamese (banh mi, though they seem to spell it differently?), Indian, (Chinese?). I asked what the best curry was, and he first said Red Curry but then said Indian Curry Roast Pork. So I ordered the Indian Curry Roast Pork ($8). Â
The curry was OK in flavor, not the most flavor bursting item I've ever ordered, but not bland. But it lacked any hint of spice. Â I usually go for "medium" and don't really know what they consider this, but it wouldn't even hit the mild pepper meter on most people's spice radar.
The pork they used was very not user-friendly. There were probably 8 pieces of pork in my entree, and 6 of them were 1" cubes of mostly pig skin or fat. Literally chunks of straight up fat, but not chewy fat you could eat. (I tried and tried). Take the layer of a pork shoulder with the thickest skin, don't slow cook it, and serve it, and you'll have something remarkably similarly tough to eat. Â I'm not against eating pork skin or fat, but the meat was so tough that most of it was inedible, I didn't eat half in fact. That said, I'm not sure I'd order the same thing again, or at least as is. Â
Take-out was super fast.
I'll have to be back to try the whole menu and readjust accordingly. Red curry next time!
Just gave this place a try -- Â I was excited about a healthier option in the Loop. Â I chose one of the pre-made banh mi sandwiches with avocado and tuna from the grab-and-go case.
When I gave the sandwich to the cashier to ring up, he volunteered happily, "It's fresh! Â Fresh tuna!" Â This should have made me suspicious. Â My friend came in while I was getting my change, and looked at the offerings in the case. Â Another woman instantly came up to us and said excitedly "Fresh! Â It's fresh fish!" Â My friend said "Just looking, thanks."
Obviously, I got back to my desk, opened the plastic wrap, and the smell of bad fish wafted gently upwards. Â I threw the whole thing in the trash.
I'll probably go back, but only for cooked food. Â If I want banh mi, I'll go back to Saigon Sisters.
--------
Update: Simply Thalia is watching Yelp for feedback -- I got a really nice email last night from them offering me a refund on the sandwich. Â They also told me they are going to stop making the banh mi to-go and will only make them to order from now on. Â I'll definitely be giving them another try.
I met a fellow Yelpette here for lunch because we were trying to eat healthy (well, really she was, but it doesn't hurt me every now and then to do the same) and thought we'd give this new spot a shot.
It's located on the pedway of Block 37 amongst the other food-court type options. Simply Thalia isn't really sure if it wants to be a "grab-and-go" or a sit-down establishment, so I think they're trying to cater to those who want something on the quick as well as those who have more time to dine.
We arrived and it was pretty full, so the only seating available was at a high two-top in the front of the restaurant. Â That meant I had to juggle my purse and coat on my lap the whole time.
The server came by with menus and then came back lickety-split to take our order. I tried to order the satay, but was duly informed that "appetizers take a long time so you might want to order something else." That was kind of annoying so I asked for another couple of minutes to look over the menu.
A different person came back for our order. I replaced the satay with an order of wonton soup and also ordered a maki with tuna and avocado. My friend ordered the Tom Yum soup, a white tuna and avocado roll, Â and a couple pieces of sashimi. The server scurried away while we were trying to order beverages. She came back and told me they don't have wonton soup so I switched to miso. We then were able to order our drinks.
The soup came and it was fine. I think $3.50 for miso soup is a little pricey, but whatever. The sushi arrived lightning fast. I had to flag someone else down for soy sauce, which was brought out, but then I had no dish to pour the soy sauce in and had to pour it on my plate.
The sushi was ok. I couldn't really taste the tuna and it did not taste super fresh, which is kind of the point of sushi. My friend agreed but did like her sashimi.
I'll probably go back eventually but I'll give them some time to work out the kinks first.
It's 2.5 stars, but I'll round up because I'm feeling magnanimous.
