    Shai Karr is a Thai/Sushi/Japanese spot that sits inside of Marietta Square Market that has been serving up some tasty, well priced and decently authentic dishes (and sushi rolls!) for a few years now. Shai Karr is a sister restaurant of one of my favorite sushi spots, Thaicoon which has a couple of locations around the metro area with one being mere blocks away on the square. The menu here is relatively small compared to most Thai/Sushi places and features appetizers, soups, salads, fried rice, curry, specialty dishes and of course...sushi rolls! The main parts of the menu are the "Main Dish" and "Sushi Roll" areas. For Main Dishes you can get a variety of curry, fried rice or house specialty such as Pad Thai, Basil Minced Chicken or Teriyaki plate. If sushi is what you are after they have around 16/17 different rolls to choose from including classics such as California, Bagel and Spicy Tuna plus a few house rolls like the FIRE, Kamikaze and Rock N' Roll. We have always grabbed sushi on our stops in and the Rock N' Roll and Bagel Roll are the ones I always get! The Rock N' Roll allows me to get my spicy tuna fix and the Bagel Roll is a deep fried roll...so, definitely a no brainer there! We also get an order of either the Edamame or Spring Rolls to kick things off, as both are solid starts and priced under $5! Shai Karr is one of the few food stalls that has self contained seating, as they offer a few stools at their front counter. If those are full you have the two dining spaces mere feet away, so do not fret! Service has always been solid here as the staff are friendly, knowledgeable and pleasant to interact with. Overall, Shai Karr seems like a little hidden gem inside of Marietta Square Market. I normally don't expect to find a good sushi spot in a fast paced and quick serve style food hall, but Shai Karr changed up the game! Definitely a spot that we hit whenever we visit MSM!

    Have you been to Thaicoon? Well if you can't get in for some reason. Walk on over to the Marietta Food Hall and check out Shai Karr Eatery by Thaicoon. Shai Karr has an abbreviated menu but full of flavor. Marietta Food Hall has a versatile collection of restaurants inside. There is something for everyone there. If you have a taste for Thai, find your way to Shai Karr. It's owned by same owners of Thaicoon. Shai Karr does not have the same full menu but hits all the high notes. We both got the Choo Choo train fried rice along with spring rolls. The Choo Choo train fried rice comes with chicken and shrimp. It tastes just as good as the fried rice at Thaicoon. The picture shows 3 spring rolls but you get 5. The spring rolls were fresh and delicious. They came with a sweet and sour similar sauce. The food was fresh and still hot when we got home. Food Hall has a parking lot with free and paid parking nearby. It can get crowded depending on the time of day that you go. It's definitely a spot many frequent in the Marietta area.

    Weird consistency of spicy tuna that I took out of the roll so I could at least eat the rest of it.

    Spicy tuna used in almost every roll is off...it doesn't have the right consistency. Almost a grainy texture. Bummed I paid $15 a roll that had this ingredient in both.

    Ordered the Choo Choo Train Fried Rice. It was very delicious. I added some soy sauce and sriracha when I got home. (I like salt lol) No clue why the rice was pink though. Definitely would order it again. I'll be back to try other things on the menu.

    Basil fried rice

    A decent thai place in marietta square. Limited menu items but they don't disappoint :) Tried the basil fried rice and spring rolls. The spring rolls are on point. Decent fried rice. Huge portions. Fast service and prices arent bad. Overall a decent thai place when visiting Marietta square.

    Snowflake Roll
    Leigh B.

    Love to try sushi, and this one was great! Slight variations of your standard rolls. I got the Snowflake roll, with side of edamame. The fried cream cheese on top of the roll was interesting, and entire roll was delicious.

    Menu (1 of 3). Snack, soup, Thai salad, main dish.

    Shai Karr Eatery is a Thai food and sushi stall located inside Marietta Square Market. It's by the same folks who run nearby Thaicoon & Sushi Bar at Marietta Square. We stopped by Shai Karr for a quick weekday lunch and were impressed with the food. It was really good. In Thai, "shai karr" refers to the roof on the side of a house that covers a patio where people cook and eat. Shai Karr Eatery opened at the same time Marietta Square Market opened in March 2019. If you've ever been to Thaicoon, Shai Karr is pretty much the food hall equivalent with an abbreviated menu and some different dishes. At the register, it's a little awkward ordering from the three-screen overhead menu because a wooden pole blocks your view of part of the menu. On the Thai side, Shai Karr serves apps like "Railroad Chicken" ($7.95 street-style chicken skewers), soups like tom kha with chicken ($4.50 coconut soup), Thai salads such as chicken larb ($8.95 minced chicken with fish sauce, lime juice, and more; one of my favorites growing up) and nam-tok salad ($11.95, made with sirloin), and entrees from house fried rice ($10.95) to pad Thai noodles ($12.50). On the Japanese side, they have salads ($3.50-10.95 each) and sushi rolls ($4.50-12.95 each). There's no nigiri or anything like that, just the simple Americanized stuff. We ordered the nam sod salad ($8.95) and the Shai Karr curry ($12.50). Both dishes were excellent and I highly recommend them. Nam sod salad is typically made with pork, but here it's made with chicken. Still good. Shai Karr's version includes minced chicken, red onion, scallion, ginger, cilantro, lettuce, Thai bird's eye chili peppers, crushed peanuts, fish sauce, and lime juice. Also included were a few butter lettuce leaves and a sprig of cilantro. This was an outstanding dish served at room temperature. It reminded me a lot of chicken larb. The chicken was minced finely, tender and lean, and it was packed with flavor. The flavors were salty, savory, zingy, and zesty. There was lots of umami. My mouth waters just thinking about it. The Shai Karr curry is a house specialty and I'm not sure if I've had the same curry anywhere else. The menu described it as "similar to red curry combined with panang curry" and it was certainly similar to both: sweet, creamy, rich, strong in flavor, and spicy too. It had an addictive taste to it and it was wonderful with white rice. I could've keep eating and eating this curry non-stop. Its consistency was fairly thin/soupy, even for a Thai curry which is more "watery" than Indian curry. We chose chicken as the protein for our curry, but you can also choose tofu, beef, or shrimp. Other ingredients included sliced carrots and red bell pepper and even kale. Yep, kale in a Thai dish, and it worked well. Along with rice, the curry came with a side of kale salad with shredded carrot, red cabbage, and sliced grape tomatoes. A spring roll was an option in lieu of kale salad. Our two entrees were accompanied with a box of white rice. Overall, ingredient quality was great and portion sizes were reasonable. Everything was served in disposable containers. Despite this, presentation was good. Service by cashier Mick was good too. Shai Karr uses the Clover POS system; Apple and Google Pay are accepted and your itemized receipts are available online. Shai Karr has six stools at the bar and there's plenty of communal seating in the market's large dining room. A mixture of free and pay parking lots surround the market. I like to park for free in the Mill St Lot at the corner of Mill St and North Marietta Pkwy. If I can't find parking there, I just park for free on Church St (one-way) and walk over.

    Wow to start off my food came out extremely hot which I love because I know that is was made fresh! This is located inside of Marietta square market. Let's talk about the flavors of the basil minced chicken.... OMGGGGG ITS AMAZING. Literally can't wait to come back next time to get it again. The coconut soup is wonderful too. My boyfriend got the fried rice and it was tasty as well. My family will definitely be returning for these flavors.

    I really enjoyed the sushi here. It seems to be really fresh! Their spicy tuna roll is not the same as you would find in a regular sushi restaurant. It's made with a sweet chili sauce instead of sriracha and Mayo. $15 did seem a little steep for the curry, but it was really good. I enjoyed the addition of kale which I don't see much in Asian cooking.

    Spicy vegetable fried rice and papaya salad

    I love their food. It's always fresh and authentic, but I've noticed the spicy veggie fried rice is coming in smaller containers now. Interesting, but it may not be worth the amount because it's rices and vegetables

    It took forever to get our food and the person taking orders and working the register was more concerned about his phone.

Despite it being a…read morebit farther than our typical distance threshold, we decided to take our son and my in-laws out for a good Cuban lunch last weekend, and thankfully it did not disappoint. As a first generation Cuban-American born and raised in Miami and married to a Cuban man, I am happy to report that Cuban Diner is the real deal. This is authentic Cuban food that is as good as the Cuban food easily found all over Miami. We started with croquetas and mariquitas. I ordered the bistec empanizado, hubby ordered the vaca frita, my son ordered the ropa vieja, my MIL orders the palomilla, and my FIL ordered a papa rellena and tamal along with a natural guava juice. We all shared bites of our plates with each other and everyone agreed that everything was absolutely delicious. My favorite was the vaca frita, so I stole a good bit from hubby and I also loved my FIL's guava juice. Service was good, but we got there shortly after opening so we had the place to ourselves. We noticed as it got busier, service definitely slowed considerably, but there was only one server for the whole place and one more handling to go orders. The one server did a fantastic job despite being the only one for multiple tables, but I did notice one couple left in frustration when they were not attended in a timely manner. I loved that they offer a total of 3 sides with the entrees, so you don't have to compromise on sides. I really enjoyed our meal and will be back to try more things on their menu soon. I definitely recommend Cuban Diner, but urge you to pack your patience if you go when there is a crowd. The good news is that the food will be well worth the wait!
