Pineapple fried Rice with extra cashews
Joshua D.

Not my first visit here. I used to love sitting in the dining area but Covid changed the whole dynamic and it's carry out only now. As frustrating as that is, the establishment easily earns a full 5 stars. I don't think my order has ever been incorrect regardless of how I've gotten it. So the service is spot on. The New Yorker Roll has to be my absolute favorite sushi roll. Don't sleep on the pineapple fried rice (add cashews)! Enjoy friends!

I am so pleasantly surprised by this place. I've passed by multiple times and thought it was weird that they would serve both sushi and Thai food. Being from Okinawa, sushi is a staple in my world. I was shocked to find the ahi (tuna) very fresh and vibrantly red colored. The salmon on the other hand was on the verge of going bad in about 2-3 days. I recommend sushi that has ahi for the quality. The rice was dense and tacky which is not how sushi rice is supposed to be. But overall I would say this place and Sushi Tatsu in Fairview Heights is close if I'm just needing to satisfy my sushi fix close-by. I realize that I will not get true sushi unless I'm on the coast or back home but this place has a thumbs up from me. It helps that the owners are super nice; no complaints on service.

Best sushi place in Belleville/surrounding areas and one of my favorite restaurants in town at that. We always come for lunch (buy 2 rolls, get 3rd free), and the sushi is always extremely fresh and delicious. Spicy tuna roll and spicy crab are my favorite, although everything I've tried is good. Their pineapple fried rice is also to die for. The owners (chef/server) are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet. Even when they're extremely busy, you will be in and out within 30 minutes with a gracious "thank you" from the chef. Ps. It's so good that I actually hate Sundays because they are closed.

Sashimi for 1, notice the pepper flakes....spicy yeah!!!

Went in for a quick lunch on Halloween day and had the sashimi for 1, the fish was fresh and tasted great. The meal came with miso soup and I ordered a bowl of rice on the side. I asked for some pepper flakes for my rice and what I got kicked the sh.t out of the usual stuff in a shaker. The pieces could have been larger but were cut thick. Will be back.

I have to admit, my partner and I have been driving past this restaurant for months now, wondering, "What the hell is a Sushi Thai?" We have company visiting this week, however, and we decided we'd go ahead and give it a try. And god, am I glad I did. I can't even remotely begin to understand what some of the other reviewers here have found to complain about. The sushi is very reasonably priced, and three for two is not a bad deal at all. We were given very generous portions of the sauce served atop the spicy salmon and crunchy tuna, which all three of us were impressed by. Typically, any sauces or dressings on sushi are sparing at best, but Sushi Thai gave us plenty of extra to dip the other rolls, as well. Speaking of the crunchy tuna, I'm already looking forward to going back there for another helping. I've found my new favorite place to get sushi, as well as my new favorite item to order. I can't wait to try their curry and tempura. Our miso soup was served in large bowls, hot but not scalding, and was practically the Platonic ideal of a good miso soup. I sort of found myself wishing that we'd been given the wider spoons that are often available, but it's hardly a real issue. The presentation was really great, too. The arrangement was so pretty -- with the sushi, ginger, wasabi, and drizzled sauce -- that I couldn't help snapping a photo (which is included in this album, now). Our server (who I think was one of the owners) was very friendly and attentive. We never went for very long without her topping off our glasses of water. The only problems I can see are the lack of parking and the lack of dining space, but this is something that would affect any small restaurant along 159. Our experience was quiet, peaceful, and both filling and tasty. Previously, Wasabi in Edwardsville was my favorite place to go, but I'm excited to have a fantastic sushi location that's a few minutes from my house instead of forty-five. I'm excited to eat there again.

Great sushi. The pad thai is no bueno. The place is just a window off the sidewalk. There's no indoor dining.

This wonderfully decorated restaurant that was filled with Asian culture was awesome. I can't…read morebelieve how awesome it was. They had some very nice pieces of Asian Art all throughout the place. The food was great. The presentation was exceptional. The soup was delicious. The spring rolls were delicious. The heavenly beef was very good. It was some type of beef jerky. The pad Thai rice was good with just enough spice. I asked for a 2 for the spice level. The customer service was great. Our server did a great job. I believe they said he was the owner. He checked on us often. He offered suggestions. He kept our drinks full. He was very personable. Additionally he had a wonderful since if humor. I left very impressed and full. Everything was reasonably priced. There is parking in front. The one area in which they need some improvements was the restroom. It needed to be updated to reflect the rest of the restaurant.

Bann Thai is a reasonably priced great option. This was our second time there and although they…read morewere super short on staff the food was awesome. Ambience is a typical strip mall restaurant, but definitely on the better side. Service was friendly and despite a few minor snafus - which they handled with grace - service was good. I would rather have a service snafu handled with grace than a perfect service from an attitudinal jerk, wouldn't you? The food is where it shines. Check out the specials. We had a couple of specials and a couple of items off the menu. We split all of it and took home leftovers. The first special we got as an appetizer was Thai crab cakes. These were crab cakes not so fake breadcrumbed sugary nightmare. Real crab with almost no filler. They were small and fried (no greasy). Served with a flavorful red curry sauce that was delicious and complex. Topped with flash fried fresh basil. This was a perfect dish. We also had fresh spring rolls, pad prik with chicken, and crab fried rice. It was all delicious. The crab fried rice is also real crab. With two pepsi colas and a good tip, it was still under $80. Highly recommend. .

Everything flowed smoothly from start to finish thanks to our server and her team. The khao soi is a must. It's easily one of my favorite versions in St. Louis. The flavors came together beautifully, and every single person at the table loved it. My second favorite was the drunken noodles. It's one of their most popular dishes for good reason, and it was one of the first plates to disappear. The pad see ew was good but lacked a little for me. Tip: go for spice level four. We ordered everything at level three, and it leaned on the milder side. We also tried the tom yum soup with seafood, which was solid, just not my personal favorite. The Thai iced tea was delicious too. Overall, nothing bad to say about Pad Thai. It's truly a great spot to bring family and friends for good eats!

Pad Thai is leading up to a closure on September 1st to do remodeling, expected to last at least…read moretwo weeks. On this Friday 2 weeks before, they were crazy busy! Good for them, slow for me. I ordered Miso soup and my usual Drunken Noodle with chicken, add tomato, minus carrot. My server, Kammie, i think. was friendly but being so busy the service was slow. I overheard they were increasing the kitchen size so maybe that is what they need, I have been in when it was busy in the dining room before but the amount of people coming in for takeout was crazy! The Miso soup was really good; I love soup even on a hot day! It had pieces of seaweed and cubes of tofu, and the flavor was deep and full of umami. The drunken noodle dish is always good; I love the veggies in it so much I am thinking when I go back I might skip the chicken altogether! Can't wait to see what the renovations bring!
