SUSHI THAI FUSION — Restaurant in Delray Beach

Update: I originally gave this place 2 stars, but after seeing how they packed my to go food, I changed it to 1 star. Terrible! There is no sauce left for my vegetables because it spilled everywhere! They put something very saucy in a regular styrofoam container instead of a plastic one that had a lid. So disappointed as the sauce is what makes this dish.

Waitress is nice and competent. The sushi is beautiful, unfortunately the flavors were just okay. We came in because of the photos posted online and everything we asked for could not be made because the chef "didn't remember" what he put in them. The Ikura is definitely old as the fishy odor was very prevalent as well as the indentations in them. They were no longer a perfect roundness from being thawed too many times/left out too long. There was something in our sashimi shower that smelt weird also, not sure if it was the white fish or the imitation crab. The sashimi is served at room temperature. Hamachi and Salmon were decent, but the Tuna was awful. It was a very nice colored fish but was super dry and had no flavor. We told them and that was it. No suggestions on how to remedy the bad tuna situation. There was no offer to take it off the bill or anything to make us feel like they cared about us getting bad food in their establishment. And we weren't just trying to get a free meal by telling them. We ordered a lot for just two people, so it would have been nice for them to offer on the one dish we said was bad. Waitress is very diplomatic and well trained in customer service; she tells you exactly what you want to hear and you know you'll walk out and nothing will be done about your comments. The sushi chef was polite enough to make our sauces more tart versus sweet as we told him in the beginning that is what we preferred. The Thai food is definitely their saving grace. Much better than their sushi. We had the red curry with chicken and the eggplant basil with tofu. Unfortunately, we came mainly because of sushi/sashimi cravings and pretty food won't get us back...

I have tried every Thai restaurant in Delray and this one is by far the best, I have been eating at Sushi Thai Fusion for 3-4+ years, even before they remodeled the restaurant with the 'Sexy' theme and was a hole in the wall. The dishes are always consistent on the flavor, good portions and good prices. Most importantly they do not skimp on the authentic Thai ingredients, use the correct noodles in each dish, and don't include things that don't belong like carrots in your pad thai, which is unlike most other Thai restaurants in town. The lunch special is a great deal.

I suggest Pad Kee Mao (drunken noodles) or the Red Curry, the Tom Yum Goong tastes just like it did in Thailand. The sushi has always been solid when I order it, admittedly I usually stick with the JB or Unagi roll. Their spice levels are consistent between visits unlike other places where you order level 5 spicy one week and its bland and the next its on point, they can make it 'Thai spicy' for you but be ready to grab a beer to cool off.

The restaurant is family owned and operated, they take a month off in July to take the entire family to Thailand, if you eat here just a few times they will recognize you and are happy to see you return. I see other reviews complain about the level of service, which is decent but not sub par for an Asian restaurant. I've never had an issue with how my takeout was packaged. I feel like those reviewers are expecting 5 star service on 3 star prices and must drive with their takeout unsecured in their car.

The service is generally is ok but is getting progressively worse. About two weeks ago my son and I went in to eat lunch. The service was so bad I couldn't enjoy my meal. I felt uncomfortable because the woman server was downright rude. She acted so rude, she wouldn't even acknowledge me when I spoke to her. Then my son needed to order a takeout meal when they told us the kitchen is closed! I said "what it was only 2:50pm".... So we asked for a manager but there wasn't one there. Why is that some people who work in retail businesses think we are doing them a favor by coming in and spending our money? Go Figure! After being treated so badly we decided not to order the take out meal and told them we would not be coming back... PS: the chicken Pad Thai is really greasy, not that good. Looking for a...
