    Boca Raton can be... polite. Safe. Predictable. A place where flavor sometimes shows up wearing loafers. And then there's Chow Thai Cuisine, which kicks the door in and reminds you that spice is not a suggestion -- it's a lifestyle. Let's begin with the Tom Kha Gai. This soup isn't comfort. It's therapy with a PhD. Coconut milk silky enough to calm your nervous system. Galangal and lemongrass punching through like they have something to prove. Lime snapping you back to attention. It's hot, bright, layered -- the kind of dish that makes you pause mid-sentence and just nod. Fire. Absolute fire. Then came the Spicy Virgin Chicken -- and whoever named it that undersold it. This thing was off the chain. Bold heat. Real heat. Not Florida "mild but we call it spicy." The kind of balanced burn that builds instead of bludgeons. Flavor first. Heat second. Respect maintained. You can tell when a kitchen knows what it's doing. This one does. And here's the real test -- the only test that matters: Would we come back? Not "maybe." Not "if we're in the area." Not "with a coupon." Yes. Without hesitation. The Thai tea deserves its own paragraph. Creamy, sweet, but with this subtle floral undertone that sneaks in at the end like a quiet encore. It doesn't scream. It lingers. It knows exactly what it's doing. Now the tragedy. I didn't order the spring rolls. Why? Because I ran out of stomach. Which is both a failure and a victory -- because now I have a reason to return. And I will. The decor? Unexpectedly transportive. You walk in and it feels like you left Boca for a minute. Warm lighting, layered textures, a quiet otherworldly vibe. Not cheesy. Not forced. Just enough to shift your mood. Some restaurants serve food. Chow Thai serves intention.

    Spring Rolls.

    So good! Family owned Thai restaurant where they treat you like you are their family. Don't be thrown that it's in a strip mall. The food is authentic, the portions are large! Honestly, share because you can't finish what they give you. The staff is very knowledgeable. I think they have the menu and every ingredient memorized. The Shrimp Pad Thai had huge shrimp infact 5 or 6, which you never get anywhere. The curry was perfectly balanced and not too spicy. The chicken fried rice hit the spot as well. We truly did not need dessert but went for it anyway. The place is super cute down to the hut cash register. This hidden gem is the place to go and the prices are pre-Covid!!!

    My son suggested we come here for dinner and it was really good. Hes a vegetarian and there are many options for him. I had the chicken pad Thai and enjoyed it immensely. The smell was spectacular and the ambiance was lovely. Our server was adorable and she was very attentive. I expect to have 2 more meals from my leftovers.

    We ordered takeout from them the other day and it was a much better experience. It was ready in a half hour and ready when they said it would be. This time I added the sampler to my order as well as pad Thai and both were delicious. No complaints.

Located on Glades Rd just west of the turnpike in the same shopping center as Stuarts. There's plenty of parking right in front. Service was excellent. We were greeted by the owner and she is absolutely lovely. She gave us a complete rundown of the menu and made fabulous suggestions. Starting with Tuna Goma Rice - it's their version of crispy rice, yet not fried. Fresh chopped Bluefin Tuna sits on top of seasoned rice and topped with an aioli. it was so fresh, it melted in your mouth. Tuna Truffle Roll- 8 pieces to the order - Tuna, avocado, and cucumber topped with a house truffle sauce. Salmon Avocado Roll - Classic Salmon roll and it comes 8 pcs to the order. The food was excellent. It's a little pricier than some of the others around, but the food and the atmosphere is elevated. That to me is worth the cost.

For my main course I ordered the tuna truffle and I kindly asked if it could be wrapped in cucumber. Brian made it happen. It was absolutely scrumptious. Do yourself a favor and come visit Naamah! You will not be disappointed.

    Finally, got a chance to try ramen at Ikkyu Ramen in Boca (located in Shadowood Square next to…read moreDave's Hot Chicken). Small but nicely decorated inside. There are bar seatings, inside tables as well as outside seatings. Menu is pretty straightforward, 3-4 types of broth for ramen, fried rice, yakisoba, appetizers boba milk teas and couple of desserts. You'll either have to order using the QR code at the table or order and pay at the register. We ordered one Taro boba milk tea, the steamed chicken gyoza, the karaage (fried chicken), tonkutsu ramen with the chicken katsu upcharge, and spicy tonkutsu ramen. Both the appetizers were pretty quick to come out with a nice spacing between for the ramen. The broth of both ramen were very rich and tasty!! Good amount of ramen and meat. And the taro milk tea was good and not too sweet. My daughter love the ramen here!! We will be back!!

This meant that every time I had a question about the menu, I had to get up and ask someone myself rather than receiving normal table service. The young woman at the front desk was unfriendly and appeared annoyed the entire time. There was no warm welcome, and customer service felt like an afterthought. I also had to ask for water instead of it being offered or brought to the table, which is something I would expect from most restaurants. To make matters worse, a tip was automatically added during checkout despite the lack of service, and I removed it. Cleanliness was another issue. While looking around, I noticed the floors were dirty, especially near the entrance, which did not leave a good impression. The food itself was underwhelming. The restaurant's Instagram photos and videos make the dishes look amazing, but what arrived looked nothing like the marketing. Unfortunately, the taste didn't live up to the hype either. Overall, poor service, questionable cleanliness, misleading social media marketing, and mediocre food made this a disappointing visit. I would not return or recommend it.

The dining room decor is clean and attractive with lots of red and black. There were four of us. And the menu was humungous. It took us a while to decide on what to order. We got two appetizers: the fried calamari and the Happy pancake. The calamari was chewy and the pancake was smaller than expected and except for two shrimp on top, we didn't see many on the inside, even the veggies were skimpy. For dinner we had the cashew chicken, the shrimp tempura and chicken teriyaki combo, the fishing boat for one, and a special dish of squid stuffed with seafood. The teriyaki was cold. And my friend said the tempura shrimp was squishy. The cashew chicken was good. The stuffed calamari was fried, not grilled as listed. And all the seafood ingredients that were advertised were chopped very fine and stuffed into the calamari rings and were not recognizable. The fishing boat for one had an array of sashimi and sushi and featured salmon, tuna, and white fish. The sashimi was a little chewy. The spicy tuna rolls were good. Service was excellent.

My son was in town for the weekend and wanted sushi, so he took my wife, my niece, and I here to try it out. (Don't get me wrong. HE brought us, but WE somehow were the ones to pay.) He said he had heard good things about it. The place is a bit small but cozy. You could say, the music play list of mostly punk/alternative rock was a big hit for us. Probably my favorite thing about the whole experience. To start off, I'm not a big fan of places that serve you pop in a can. It's a trap to get you to spend more to replenish your drink instead of getting a good old fashioned soda fountain just like any respectable Chow Time Buffet has. I tend to over drink while I eat so I almost felt forced to get lemonade along with an ice water. We ordered an array of menu items and shared family style at the table. My son sent back the chicken fried rice because he and my wife said it had zero flavor even though it looked delicious. And if you knew my son, that's huge that he made a fuss and spoke up in public. Brought a tear to my eye, I was so proud. The salmon came with this small ramekin of coconut sauce on the side. We would have preferred it drenched over the salmon and rice to give more flavor to that dish too. The sushi pizza bites, I will say, were on point for us so that's only the second positive, so far. And then right back to disappointment with the various rolls we shared. It's just that nothing stood out to make us try to fight over the last piece on the plate. Now, we really liked the server. She was very polite and for once, nothing was wrong with how we ordered. We can be very picky with how and what we want changed to our selected menu items. But I can imagine that if this place was full instead of us being the only table occupied, that the slowness of the staff could cause problems. The biggest gripe, like a lot of other reviews here, is the absence of flavor and seasoning in the food. It all looks so appealing and creative and then you get the big letdown once it hits your taste buds. And for these reasons, I also agree with the others that it then becomes over priced. I really wanted to like this place and come back again, but listening to My Chemical Romance and eating sushi pizza bites while the server gives us a big smile, isn't enough to make me return any time soon. And whoever my son was relying on for a good sushi spot recommendation, needs to go to the Publix across the parking lot to chew on a two day old, pre-made California roll while getting the "People's Elbow" across the jaw. Or, better yet, just drop in next door at All Star Pizza for a slice of Sicilian with pepperoni and sausage. In closing, my niece added her little comment that although they weren't beautifully decorated, atleast the bathrooms were clean. So they have that going for them.

Our table was a party of four (us and another couple), and Sammy was fantastic. He was extremely attentive throughout the entire meal--taking our orders, bringing appetizers, and making sure our drinks were always full. One issue I often run into with hibachi dining is having to flag someone down for water or drink refills, but that was never the case here. Sammy was consistently on top of everything, and it was truly appreciated. As for the appetizers we ordered edamame (not pictured) which were good but nothing special and the spicy chicken pot stickers which were very spicy. Our chef, Noel-Louis, was equally great. I requested no mushrooms in my vegetables, and when I asked for my vegetables to be cooked a bit longer, he gladly accommodated. He also prepared some leftover chicken fried rice and served us a small portion to try--which was absolutely delicious. For my entrée chicken, he offered different sauce options and finished it with teriyaki sauce, which made it especially flavorful. I know hibachi can vary a lot depending on the chef, and this experience was outstanding enough that I specifically asked for his name so I can request him in the future. A nice added touch was an employee who came around offering complimentary photos. Within minutes, it was printed for us to take home as a keepsake from our visit.
