But we were surprised at the offerings and their prices. We splurged on sushi, hibachi and appetizers. We absolutely went overboard but dang, it was all pretty dang tasty! I really enjoyed my scallops, they were actually seasoned well and cooked perfectly. A must for freshly made, delicious hibachi!

I chose to build my own bowl with salmon, crab mix, edamame, carrots, cucumbers, ogo seaweed, green onions, mango, dried onions, seaweed, slivers, and sweet chili oil. I also ordered a spam musubi and Thai teak with boba. The clerk was incredibly patient and even let me sample some of the flavors before I made my final decision. Although I ordered my meal to go, I would love to dine in the next time the interior was clean, cheerful, and offered plenty of seating. When I finally tried the food, I was very impressed with both the portion size and the taste. The bowl was light, refreshing, and flavorful. Overall, it was exceptional experience.

If you walk into a restaurant at 7pm on a Wednesday night and the place is fully packed and there…read moreare people waiting behind you to be sat, you KNOW you made the right decision to go there. We were greeted nicely by the hostess and waited roughly 5 minutes for a table to open up. A family of five came in right after us and decided to sit at the bar to eat. I knew in my heart that this was the best place to go to for my husband's birthday dinner. We sat on some barstools while we waited, discussing the hockey game playing on the tv behind the bar. I loved the low ambient lighting that spread across the ceiling. Our waitress was nice but she never gave us her name so I unfortunately can't shout her out. She gave us recommendations so I ended up taking one of hers. Now, if you have read my Thai restaurant reviews, you know by now that I judge a Thai restaurant by ordering their Pad Thai the first visit, however, I broke that rule because I just KNEW this place was going to be good. We ordered the Tom Kha soup with chicken, Pad Kee Mao with chicken, I ordered the Khao Soi Gai (it comes with chicken, no substitutions), and one Thai iced tea. You guys. When the Tom Kha soup touched my lips, I was SO excited to get the main course! It was made PERFECTLY. I haven't had true Tom Kha since probably when I lived in California over a decade ago. The Thai tea was strong and delicious, exactly how it should be made. The Khao Soi Gai...that first sip of the curry broth nearly made me go Meg Ryan-mode in the restaurant. If you know, you know. "I'll have what she's having!" Our waitress recommended this dish and I'm so glad I was adventurous and tried something different outside of my "I'll judge you based off of your Pad Thai" attitude. It was perfect and when I say perfect, I didn't even add lime juice to it because I didn't want to mess anything up with the flavor profile. Sure, lime could have added another element to the dish but when I say it was perfect the way it was, it's true. The night at Smiley would have ended perfectly if it weren't for the miserable couple who sat beside us discussing how unhappy they were in their marriage and decided to accept the waitstaff into their broken marriage by being completely rude. But the staff remained professional and kind through it all and I give them HUGE props for that because I was a moment away from telling that wretched couple off. In short, the staff here are wonderful, and the food is memorable, delectable, delicious, perfect...it's HEAVEN. We will DEFINITELY be back to try other menu items!

We ordered online and did pickup, so my review is based on that…read more We ordered gyoza, tempura vegetables, salmon roll, mango and shrimp roll, and chicken yakisoba. Our order was ready on time and everything was in the bag. Unfortunately, the chicken yakisoba was placed into a styrofoam container and it melted on the bottom. The sushi was placed on top of the food instead of being separate and was warm. However, the food was really good! The vegetable tempura was a huge portion for an appetizer ($6.50) and I was full before even finishing it. The gyoza was delicious and so was the chicken yakisoba. The sushi rolls were very mediocre. They were small and not very flavorful. I've had better at the grocery store. Maybe it's because I ordered the cheaper rolls? I don't think we will do takeout again because of the styrofoam issue but we will definitely come back to enjoy their food inside.
