We've visited Hooks & Fish a few times now, mainly because of their grilled options. That's really…read morewhat keeps bringing us back--our group consistently orders grilled, and the food itself has always been satisfying. We haven't explored the fried items or much else on the menu, so we can only speak to that side, but in that regard, no complaints. That said, the overall experience as a customer especially when you're unfamiliar with the area or just stopping in between meetings or on a lunch break--needs improvement. After ordering and paying, being directed to leave the line, drive around multiple corners and blocks, and then return just to find parking (which can take 30+ minutes) is frustrating and impractical. It turns what should be a quick and convenient stop into a time-consuming hassle. Another ongoing issue is consistency with the grilled group option. Even though it's listed (and often stapled to the menu), we find ourselves having to ask about it almost every visit. Many times it's unavailable--they've run out, it's not being offered that day, or there's some other reason it can't be ordered. That kind of uncertainty makes it difficult to plan, especially when that's the main reason we choose to come here. From a business standpoint, there should be a more efficient system in place for handling customer flow and parking, along with better consistency and communication around menu availability. The food keeps us interested, but the logistics and unpredictability make it difficult to justify stopping in regularly. In short: great grilled options when available, but the ordering process and overall experience need serious rethinking.

Hooks Fish has a snapper and fries combo for $16.99. However, I don't like fries, so I asked the…read morecounter girl if I could swap the fries for okra, and she said yes. I didn't place my order right away because I was still unsure, and when I made up my mind, the manager helped me, and I ordered the snapper combo, but swapped the fries for okra. When he gave me the receipt, I realized the total bill was higher than it should have been, and I saw that he hadn't swapped the fries and had overcharged me. I asked him why he overcharged me when the counter girl told me I could swap them. He told me he couldn't do that. I told him that was ridiculous because I don't eat fries and would have to throw them away, and he said he'd only sell it to me that way. So I canceled everything and left... the customer service was terrible!!!!!!

The place is spotlessly clean and the staff friendly and helpful.

My partner grabbed a hot pastrami on rye which I tasted and found to be very good.

There's plenty of parking the soup we got. It's called Tom last, it was absolutely delicious. Everybody enjoyed their appetizers. Food came. Everything was delicious. Everyone was happy with what we ordered. My only complaint was, I had ordered eggplant with basil and tofu, and my dish was cold. The sauce was hot, but the tofu I think is premade and they probably just throw it on the plate and warming up by the hot sauce so that was disappointing since we were with two other couples I didn't want to send it back or make a scene, but the flavor was good. Just wasn't crazy about the fact that the tofu was cold. Definitely will go back and give it another shot.

Boca Raton can be... polite…read more 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.

I came to this restaurant based on a google search. I ordered the Pad Thai and I have to say it…read morewas the worst I've ever had. Here's a detail of what I got with only ordering Pad Thai; I got all of this included with my meal: Tea: Good Fried Noodles with sweet sauce: Good Wonton & Egg Drop Soup: Good Pad Thai: NOT GOOD- this dish had no taste whatsoever. I had to pour the sweet sauce from the fried noodle appetizer into it for a little flavor. The chicken was chewy, almost tasted like it was undercooked. Pad Thai is one of my favorite dishes, and this one was the worst I've ever had. Mango Sorbet: Bland, but refreshing after having the worst Pad Thai. The server was GREAT!!!! She consistently checked up on me to make sure everything was ok. She was VERY sweet and professional. The establishment charges $35 for a Pad Thai dish. Although it includes all of the extras, I feel they could reduce the price and make it more of à la carte offering. I would have only had the Pad Thai, not all the other options; you're forced to pay for things you don't necessarily want - a bit pricey for lunch. AND, the management was sitting at a table, right where you walk in, with laptops and paperwork having a meeting about menu options. I don't think this was appropriate. Any business dealings they need to conduct should be conducted in an office or other setting where customers don't see them. I have never taken the time to write a review like this, but II have also never had an experience like this one in any restaurant I've ever dined in. To the young girl who was my server, THANK YOU!!!!! To the management, you have quite a bit of work ahead of you. I hope you take this as constructive feedback. Wishing you much success moving forward.

Nope. And if you try to build your own, it ends up costing more than actual NYC prices. The roll was a good size, but it fell apart instantly. And the waitress handed me two soy sauce packets, two!. Even the cheapest NYC takeout spot gives you a container or a handful of packets, not a strict ration. This isn't a fancy restaurant.
