Sushi Plus Thai by sensei — Restaurant in Palatine Township

We’ve been to this Thai restaurant twice now, and both times the food quality has been consistently excellent.

On our first visit, we ordered the green curry and the Fresh Ginger Delight. It was my first time trying tempeh, which came in the curry, and I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was—it added a nice texture and soaked up the flavors well. The ginger dish was also very flavorful and satisfying. We also tried their version of rangoon, and it was amazing—the filling-to-wrapper ratio was just right, making each bite perfectly balanced.

On our second visit, we had the Rama Delight, Kai Kua Noodles, and Sweet and Sour Chicken. Everything we ordered was fantastic. The Rama Delight was a bit spicy for my taste, but I still really enjoyed it—the flavors were spot-on for a Thai peanut-based dish. The Kai Kua Noodles had that irresistible “wok hei” (wok fragrance) that makes a stir-fry truly special. My husband had it with tempeh again and loved it. As for the Sweet and Sour Chicken, I’m usually hesitant to order it because it can easily go too sweet or too sour, but this version was perfectly balanced. The sauce complemented the dish without overwhelming it, and the chicken stayed nice and crispy.

I also love their wall art—you can tell they paid attention to the details, especially in how they brought out the Japanese-Thai fusion theme. It really adds to the overall dining experience.

The service was great—we couldn’t ask for more. Friendly, attentive, and efficient without being intrusive.

Overall, this is hands down the best Thai restaurant we’ve been to in the area. We’re looking forward to...

Recently got carry-out. I love that you can use Google Pay.

TLDR: This place is new (opened 2 weeks ago) and I really enjoyed both the sushi and Thai food.

Now the details for each item that I ordered: Golden Bags (this places version of Crab Rangoon) very good, small portion, so if you need to feed several people, get 2 orders. They were perfectly cooked, crispy and delicious. Crispy Egg Rolls – these are smaller, thin crispy and different from “traditional” egg rolls. Sweet and Sour Chicken – Really good, comes with a side of rice, has pineapples and onions and a very rich/sweet sauce. Pad Thai – Very good pad thai, and the presentation was nice(peanuts/bean sprouts were in different places) Best if you have a separate bowl at home to mix it all up. Veggie tempura – 8 pieces – very good lightly fried/breaded. Crispy California Roll – This was good, but I’d probably just get regular California roll next time. Dragon Fire Roll – also good, but could have been a bit spicier. Pot Stickers – Fried – this was a freebie item the restaurant threw in to my order. They were very good, but I usually enjoy steamed pot stickers. For all of the above, my order was $93.11 with tax. I will probably order from this...

The food is fantastic, but the customer service truly blew me away. I placed a to-go order and got a call within 5 minutes to confirm my protein choice for the Pad Thai which was super thoughtful! The order was ready on time with text updates, and I was warmly greeted and handed my food right away. They have the nicest front of house staff!

The Pad Thai is the best I've had in the area; I've tried others, but this is top tier. The potstickers were flavorful, the house salad was fresh and bright, and all four rolls (spicy scallop, shiitake, crispy California, and crispy Philly) were delicious. I’d never tried cooked sushi before, which were the last two, and I think are a perfect intro for anyone unsure about raw fish.

The interior is cozy with limited seating, but seems great for a small group. Can’t wait to come back...
