Kevin's Sushi & Thai — Restaurant in Deerfield Beach

So I'm having a tough time trying to find a place to get sushi where they don't serve you with one hand on the plate and the other grabbing for your wallet. We were looking at a place on line that had sushi for up upwards of over $200 a roll (another sushi place and not Kevin's). So Kevin's seemed like a bargain and after eating here it turned out to be an amazing choice and a pretty good value for the area. Now I read the couple of negative reviews for Kevin's and my experience was quite different. I was looking for good food and a comfortable experience and not expecting over the top perfection. I really liked my Kevin's experience.

Great service. Our waitress was just very good at what she did and was so nice. Kevin is fortunate to have her. We also decided that the next time we are going to eat at the bar and talk with Kevin because he just seemed so interesting from what we could hear of his conversations with the customers.

We had 2 sushi rolls. The rice, the varied temperatures the coolness of the fresh beautifully cut fish the opposing warmth of the rice and the harmony of the combination was really intoxicating if you get the whole great sushi thing. Its hard to find that great balance in a roll where you just savor the tastes rocking all your taste buds at once and Kevin wes spot on for our rolls. I dont even remember if they were perfectly shaped or cut, but I assure you I would have probably mentioned it if they were mangled and they were not. The aged tofu was really good. The Thai minced beef salad really brought back some memories of being in Thailand and was great for an American palate without losing its identity. Got the Penang curry and it came mild as requested and was so enjoyable. The one little negative is the small bowl of rice. I didn't chance ruining a great evening by asking for more and getting charged which drives me nuts. I don't know if they would have even done this. Anyway, the rice was fragrant and cooked perfectly for my tastes. We even tried Kevin's pineapple infused sake. I really enjoyed it. I mean it may not be good for a sake pureist, but it's not like hot sake which they also have. This was serve cold in glass service, not ceramic. It was fun and quite drinkable with infused pineapple chunks served along side.

This felt like a local sushi bar or restaurant you would find in Japan on the night we dined. Like my Thai dish, the restaurant brought me back to my time in Japan. I would say this is just a really great local restaurant and I'm glad we found it. Two adult guys and a hungry teen ate to satisfaction with the above dishes for under $100 including tax and tip .. With inflation this may not be true for the future so look at the date of the review. Also we got a whole meal for three for much less than you would pay for a roll at at least one other restaurant.

Oh and the menu is well curated with the basics of common Japanese and Thai and enough specialties to keep you from getting bored when you become a regular. I liked it because it was limited enough for me to make easier choices and not overwhelming like those places with 10 pages of options. The smaller menu makes good business sense and seemed to alow Kevin to concentrate as best he can on good quality and consistent service.

We look forward...

I ordered over $200.00 in a takeout order. However once I got home I realized one item I ordered wasn’t given to me, so I called to let them know I was missing a dish. I received the most unbelievable hostile response ever! Kevin the owner of the establishment began insinuating that I wasn’t telling the truth, and he was too busy to deal with me! By now it wasn’t about the missing food It had become about being verbally attacked and basically told I was lying! I went back with original order and proof of payment to ASSURE the owner that I really was missing a part of my order. And even though I was extremely upset and disappointed, and I wanted him to know it! I never once spoke in way to interrupt his establishment with other costumers dining! But instead of the owner an offering me an SINCERE apology for the mistake made! He decided very rudely that I needed to be informed about how long his business had been in the area! As though that should validate to me that his business was not capable of making a such an error! For goodness sake’s all that for a missing dish that cost about $17.00 after I’d spent over $200.00! Kevin, as the owner good customer service would have simply been you being responsible enough to say I’m sorry for the inconvenience and rectifying the problem WITHOUT having such an aggressive and hostile behavior! Yes, I got a refund. But Sir, you can have great food, but bad customer service can cost you to lose one customer at time until after years of being in business ends! That was totally unexpected, unnecessary, definitely unacceptable behavior! I’ll pay money for my food elsewhere rather than be disrespected for a service I’m paying for when I did absolutely...

This was the worst sushi experience I've ever had, and I LOVE sushi... I was celebrating and decided to place a large (large for me) to go order with $100 worth of sushi and appetizers. To make a very long story short.... we drove 20 minutes in traffic to get there, picked up the sushi, drove 20 minutes home... got home, opened it up, 1 roll was the wrong one, 1 box had black hairs in the sushi, and 2 boxes had glitter on the raw salmon. We had to throw almost everything out. By the time we drove back and unboxed everything the restaurant was closed, so I called in as soon as they opened the next morning. I explained what happened and I got no apology whatsoever. In fact, the lady I originally spoke to put someone else on the phone who proceeded to yell at me saying that I was wrong and there was no hair or glitter. He refused to issue me any type of refund. Two or three weeks later, I get my credit card statement and the charge is $15 higher than it was listed on the receipt I was given. (As if I added a tip, which I don't for take out orders) My receipt shows $101, but they charged my card $116!! I filed a claim with my bank and they proceeded to contact the business for over a month. I was told that the business kept hanging up on them. Don't give this...
