Friendly, attentive, and the kind of service that makes a meal feel more relaxed. Good energy from the start. We ordered a lot, so here is the full breakdown. The miso soup was exactly what miso soup should be. Simple, warm, and good. No surprises. The green salad was basic. Big chunks of lettuce that I would have preferred a little more finely cut, but it was refreshing and grew on me as I kept eating it throughout the meal. The spider roll was a highlight. Light, clean, and did not leave that heavy feeling you sometimes get from rolls that are overdone. It felt like a healthier version of what you usually find and that is a compliment. The lemonade was genuinely good. Flavorful and not overly sweet. Worth ordering. The combo platter came with a shrimp roll, an egg roll, and a fried dumpling. The shrimp roll was the standout, fat juicy shrimp with a sweet chili sauce that worked well. The egg roll tasted good and the dumpling was solid, though a little light on the filling inside. Still enjoyable. The shrimp pad see ew was really good. Nice shrimp, good sauce, well executed. The beef fried rice had solid flavor and did not feel heavy or oily, which matters more than people give it credit for. Overall Num Thai delivered a genuinely enjoyable meal. We will be back.

Lunch specials were excellently priced around $10. The portions a little smaller, but the flavors are excellent. We ordered the pad thai and the sushi lunch. Everything tasted great and fresh!

Two years ago, we stumbled upon this place thanks to another Yelp review, and it ended up being so…read moreunforgettable that we extended our stay just to eat there again the following night. We sat at the bar, and from the food to the conversations with the chef, it felt like an entire experience. I've honestly been thinking about it ever since. When we finally came back to the keys for another vacation, it was the first restaurant I wanted to visit, and somehow, it was even better than I remembered. The quality of the food is exceptional. The fish is so fresh and delicate that it practically melts in your mouth, and every dish is as beautiful as it is delicious. Nothing feels ordinary or like an afterthought. After eating here multiple nights, we can honestly say you can't go wrong with anything. That consistency is what makes this place worth coming back for. If you have the chance, sit at the bar. Watching the chefs create each dish makes the experience even more special. You can see the care and artistry that go into their work, yet they make it look effortless. I definitely recommend making a reservation, as it does get busy! Beyond the incredible food, it's the people who make this place unforgettable. Everyone is so kind, down to earth, and welcoming. You can tell they truly love what they do and enjoy having you there. They take the time to talk with you, share stories, and make you feel like family. You leave feeling like you've spent the evening with friends while enjoying some of the best food you've ever had. Chef JR and Mo, thank you for sharing your talent and your stories with us. Sharome, your recommendations, wine pairings, and incredible hospitality made each visit even better. It was also so lovely to see Chloe again after remembering her from our first trip. Seeing familiar faces two years later made returning feel that much more personal. We came in Friday, loved it so much that we returned Saturday, and with our vacation ending Monday, I couldn't leave without one more dinner on Sunday. Three nights in a row, and somehow each night was better than the last. When you extend one vacation to eat somewhere again and spend the next one going back three nights in a row, that says everything. Already dreaming about our next visit!

Fresh food, excellent service, great quality, and a welcoming atmosphere. Definitely one of my favorite spots in Islamorada and a place I'm always happy to come back to!

Mistake Do not eat here ! The place is in a run down, almost empty plaza -1st flag It's a small, dirty place - almost no other customers there -2nd flag We order 2 of the crispy tuna and 1 gyoza. Gyoza was ok. The crispy tuna was terrible. I kept one because I felt bad sending both back to the kitchen, but the other one we sent back and ordered a crunchy JB roll instead. Waiting a long time , and when it finally arrived- it was beep fried in thick batter. Like they never heard of tempura? She never came back to check on us. And when the bill came, she didn't provide me with a receipt , just the electronic reader with an amount. I asked if I could see the receipt and she pretended she couldn't understand me. I asked if I was being charged for the returned item and was told no. She stayed staring at me to make sure I put a tip before she walked away. Latter, I checked, and I had been charged for the returned item. They also sat us by a curtained off space in the wall with seemed to lead to a storage space in a lived in apartment. Were they living there? Now I have to fight to get a refund without a receipt. Just don't go there. Terrible in every aspect

RESTAURANT: This location has been here for several decades…read more I have not been back for quite some time, maybe over ten years. It's nice to see that not much has changed. The aesthetic inside is still very true to the Japanese culture with small Japanese status and art work on display. There is a small sushi bar at the back corner and seating are available for small group parties. I am not a fan of carpet flooring. Located next to US1 and there are plenty of parking within the shopping center. SERVICE: The owners had been the same for many years and had always been very polite, as what you would expect with the Japanese culture. We came at very slow evening and we had the place to ourselves. My son was dissappointed to find out that the bento box was only available during lunch, but the server/greeter/owner lady told us that she can make it happen for him and that just made his day. She answered all of our questions and always had a smile on her face. She was very attentive as she was serving other customers as well as it got busy. FOOD: This visit, we had the shrimp tempura entree and the red scorpio roll and a chicken katsu bento box for my son. Each entree includes a soup/salad of your choice. The food tasted just as I remember from many years back. And I am just going to say it, they have the best tempura in Homestead. The portion size is good, very authentic and delicious. The red scorpio have my favorite tempura softshell crab. It's lighter compare to the other rolls with the fresh vegetable inside minus the heavy sauces on top and it look so vibrant with the colorful masago on top. The bento box for my son included a soup as well, with a couple California rolls, tempura veggies and the chicken katsu strips. The katsu was crispy on the outside and juicy inside. Overall, this was a nice walk down the memory lane back to when I used to work across the street, we had a lovely dinner. I still believe that they are the best Japanese/sushi restaurant in Homestead. Very authentic from the service to the meal. Fairly priced and so convenient with the late hours. Can't wait to our next visit.

In the past, everything we've tried has been consistently good, and there are so many options on the menu to choose from. We decided to dine in for my mother's birthday, and while the service in terms of getting our food out was quick, the food itself was a huge miss this time. Honestly, everything we ordered fell short, which was surprising given our previous experiences. What made it more disappointing was the birthday moment. We ordered dessert and asked if they could sing happy birthday. They brought out the dessert but didn't acknowledge the birthday at all. Then, less than five minutes later, they celebrated another table by singing, which made the situation feel even worse. Overall, we left feeling really let down. Hoping this was just an off night, but it definitely didn't match what we're used to from this place.

And yeah while I gave it 3 stars. It's actually a good 3 stars. Mainly because felt as though most of the food in the keys was pretty average. While it kind of was here as well, good things I can say was the place inside was nice and a good size considering it looked small outside. But inside it was nice, our service was whatever. Waitress didn't seem like she wanted to be there. But did her part to take care of us. The sushi was good and more on surprising side . The food is reasonably priced, especially compared to how most things in the keys are little more but it's understandable. Price didn't really matter too us but was something I noticed. It was a safe bet and glad we actually enjoyed it compared to a lot around. So yeah lean towards recommending if you are in the mood for sushi.

Easy parking, handicap accessible, clean bathrooms nicely decorated restaurant, this hit I all the check marks We were quickly seated for lunch, and our server brought over menus, and a fresh picture of water. My friend ordered the shrimp fried rice, and I ordered the chicken stirfry hibachi. The shrimp fried rice is self-explanatory and was a generous portion. My chicken stirfry hibachi consisted of about a cup of chicken, diced, a little overcooked, along with some delicious fried rice and some soy sauce based fried vegetables. These fried vegetables were delicious, the rice was sticky enough to use the chopsticks with. Sarah, our server suggested an angel roll, which consisted of shrimp and some other goodies, including avocado on top with fish roe. This was on point and absolutely delicious Sarah was very kind, and answered all my questions, thoroughly. So if you're traveling through the lower keys, looking for a lunch spot, this might hit for you. I really enjoyed it. My friend really enjoyed it. So this lunch was about $43 and I left a 25% tip because she one of the best servers to help me in a long, long time
