I am so happy Furin is back in business again. For those who don’t know, this place was on Atlantic Ave and Military trail for years, even since I was a kid growing up in Delray. Some incident happened where it closed down last year and I thought it was gone for good. Luckily they reopened again and in a more convenient location on Linton and Military Trail. Their food is delicious and their staff are always welcoming and kind. To the people who gave poor ratings, I feel like they had isolated incidents where the staff assumed someone else had taken care of the customer or someone had overcooked the rice a few minutes.The food is generally really good otherwise. This place has been my go-to restaurant whenever I’m in town from Tampa to visit my parents. The actual restaurant is clean and relaxing. I really recommend trying this place at least once. If you had a bad experience and haven’t come back since, I really wish you give them another chance.
UPDATE: 4/19/2024
This place is still my go to restaurant for sushi and Thai food, and I still stand by the quality. I have now relocated to Texas back in 2021 and I always come here every time I visit my mom in Delray Beach (2-3x a year) The service is always great whenever I drop by to eat in person/carry out and the staff are always professional & hospitable. The place is clean and the place has truly evolved over the years like a work of art. There are cool new murals, designs, etc. and it is really nice to eat there in person. I really appreciate the location more now because it’s not in downtown so you never have to deal with major traffic or pay for parking.
As for the food quality, I still love and enjoy the food they serve. I have not tried everything on their menu really because I am a creature of habit, and tend to pick the same few dishes, but I always love their seaweed salad, the grilled Japanese squid, sashimi salad (my personal favorite), and the company roll. Once in a while I’ll try an Americanized sushi roll. I usually prefer dishes with fresh fish/seafood and vegetables/rice, especially when it comes to sushi as opposed to deep fried or mayo based sauces, so I can’t really speak about their other rolls as I haven’t tried them really. I have ordered from here through carry out and the food quality has been great as well, mind you I am generally only 5 min away since my mother lives nearby. I feel like if you’re using a food delivery app, and the delivery is going to take 30 min+ to get to you, then the food obviously won’t be as great as if you’re eating there in person. This type of cuisine is best eaten fresh.
I never had any issues with any food accoutrements/atypical decorations on my food during the several times I’ve been there in the last 3 years. In regards to some of the other lower reviews, if you don’t know, sushi and sashimi are made of fish, so it will taste fishy…If you do not like the taste of fish or anything with fishiness, don’t order sushi/sashimi. It’s as if you hate the taste of potatoes but still order a baked potato anyways. Also, for those who don’t know, eel sauce is generally a sweet sauce with some savoriness to it. The spicy mayo is literally a combination of mayonnaise & sriracha sauce. If I do order a sushi roll that might pair well with any of those 2 sauces, I’ll treat it as a side dip, not douse the entire roll on it. Otherwise, soy sauce always good as a dipping sauce.
This is not an Omakase restaurant. This is not some fancy pants Asian restaurant in Boca Ratón or Miami. This place is a great place to get great quality sushi nearby that has been consistent in quality for me over the years and has great service. I’ve tried some of the Asian restaurants in downtown Delray and I don’t see any noticeable difference in quality of food either, all I see is higher prices since those restaurants are in a downtown location. Overall, I highly recommend this place and will still continue coming here whenever...
Read moreThere were so many things wrong here, it's hard to find a place to start. We arrived at 6:00 pm. The older crowd was just filtering out. We seated ourselves, received menus, and were offered drinks. A few minutes later we were asked for our order, but not everyone was ready to order so we ordered vegetable rolls. They came out luke warm. We finished those. But still hadn't gotten to order. The server was busy cleaning tables. Finally she came over, apologized, and took our orders. There were three of us, and the other two orders came out. She said it took longer because it was a stir fry (mixed vegetables with tofu? Really?). An hour after we arrived, everyone was finished, the people that came in after us were all well into their meals, I still hadn't gotten a simple stir fry. We asked them to cancel it and get our bill, but they said it was coming out. After several more minutes, it still hadn't come out so we asked them to make it to go. After several more minutes we got the to go package. I get home to find out that apparently mixed vegetables means slightly warm broccoli. I had asked for Thai hot, but there wasn't any heat to it. Everyone else at other tables seemed to be enjoying their meals ( food that came promptly), but our service and food was less than mediocre, and not...
Read moreVisited on a Tuesday night and was able to seat myself immediately after greeting the host. The restaurant had several other customers but was not crowded. The menu contains plenty of sushi, ramen, and curry options in addition to appetizers. I chose the "Incredible Duck" which is a crispy duck in green curry sauce served with a side of rice. I also ordered a Thai tea. The menu has two chili peppers next to this curry dish, implying it is very spicy; however I would only consider it mildly spicy. The duck had nice crispy skin even though it was plated in the curry sauce. The inside of the duck was tender, and the pieces were cut nicely so it was easy to eat even with chopsticks. The Thai tea was a nice accompaniment and alleviated the mild spiciness in the dish. My only disappointment was that the meal was finished much too quickly and I was too full to order anything else. Overall I had a pleasant experience, had my meal served quickly, and it was a well-prepared dish. I will try going again to order the spicy salmon and tuna rolls....
