    Egg Drop Soup
    Teira R.

    This spot sells different kinds of Asian food. You can get Chinese, Japanese, and Thai all in one sitting. I ordered Egg Drop Soup and Drunken Noodles with Shrimp. The Egg Drop Soup did need a little salt, but the Drunken Noodles were perfect. They even had a nice spice to it. Everyone in the family can find something they will enjoy.

    This was good and convenient! I would skip on the sweet shrimp, it was cooked nicely but wasn't fresh so it was a little off. Otherwise, the rest were great! I would come back. The sushi pizza was delicious and had a slight crisp due to the scallion pancake. The sauces were good on it and I appreciate the amount of fish on it. The roll was also good. Server was attentive and restaurant was clean. Love!

    I always feel bad when I have to write a review like this... but I really wasn't impressed with my lunch today. This place had a pretty high star rating, so I was expecting alot- but the food, nor the restaurant itself- met my expectations. I ordered the Tempura Shrimp/Vegetable Bento Box... Best: Shrimp Tempura, crispy and light. Dumplings- the meat inside had a good savory flavor. Worst: The Tempura veggies... mushy and didn't taste fresh. The salads ginger dressing was bland. The sushi was just ok. I only ate one piece. And the bowl of sauce on the side had a flavor that I did not desire. I wish the sauce that was on the Dumplings, was the one in that bowl! The restaurant itself needs some improvements. All the booths were well worn and thats putting it nicely. A plus is that the waitress was nice and came over several times to check on me!

    I had a good time. The atmosphere was nice and quiet and there was a ton of food selections. I had the hibachi with steak and shrimp and it was delicious. The only thing that I would have preferred is for my meats to be mixed in with my noodles but that's just me being nit picky. The sake samples were also a plus

    Deliciousness!

    This was my first time eating sushi here, and was pleasant to find that their sushi was pretty good. Not the best but not the worst. Environment was cozy, and it gave me a vibe of a small mom and pop sushi place I love in Dallas, TX. Staff was friendly and the sushi ordering process went through without any issues. Not much to rave on about it, but it's a place that is doable when you need to get a sushi fix. You won't be disappointed.

    Super delicious Sushi Pizza. Piled high with raw fish, def bang for the buck

    Kaminari is set in an unassuming strip mall off the interstate. Upon emerging we were warmly greeted by the staff. The restaurant was appropriately lit with a welcoming ambiance. We were seated in some uncomfortable booths set at a 90 degree angle, we reseated ourselves at a nearby table, which wasn't an issue bc there was one waitress. Reviewing the sushi menu but not wanting rice we opted for the Sushi Pizza, it was so delectable. The "crust" was a base flat bread with less of flavor but more for structure. It was topped with an abundance of fresh fish; tuna, massago, avocado, cucumber and another white fish. It was well worth $11. My husband had the sesame chicken which he gave three stars bc "all I could taste was the fried breading the soy sauce in the fried rice". We tried the Lsu roll, it was ok. Typical Baton Rouge fried, cream cheese, imitation crab etc etc etc. I honestly do believe the sushi options are worth exploring more.

    When you walk in, it immediately feels like you're in someone's grandma's house. Very cozy vibes,…read moresmall place but plenty of tables. We started off with the satay, yummy! I really enjoyed the cucumber salad and the peanut sauce that it came with, and the chicken itself was delicious of course. Absolutely obsessed with the green curry crispy pork fried rice, so flavorful and delicious. I loved the texture of the pork, and the dish had a nice spice to it which we were warned about so that's always appreciated. The pad Thai was so good! I got the shrimp pad Thai add vegetables and the portions for everything were perfect. I was full with a good amount to take home still. Lastly, I tried the Thai tea and thoroughly enjoyed it. It had the perfect amount of sweet to it. So in addition to the delicious food, great portions, and wonderful service, I was very impressed by this place and will absolutely be back.

The flavor was incredible, I can't wait to be back to try it again. Aromatic and crunchy. The restaurant itself has been there since 2006 and is authentic Thai. The owners are so chill and friendly, they feed some stray cats that live under the shed outside, so the entire vibe is familiar and relaxed, so nice. The ambiance is great too, they have candles, wooden carved decor and a lot of air circulation/filtration which is an important detail I love in any restaurant. We'll be back

    My Daughter and I stopped for lunch. Not much ambiance…read more Our server was nice. She tried. Unfortunately our food left a lot to be desired. We ordered the vegetable spring rolls they had very little filling, had an odd flavor from the oil, but were very crispy. I ordered the hibachi lunch. My daughter ordered General Taos chicken. The portions were large. The fried rice had hard dried out pieces of rice, I guess it had sat open somewhere and dried out. the menu said my chicken would have a teriyaki sauce, not teriyaki, some not good sauce which was so salty I couldn't eat it. The raw chicken had not been covered I am guessing, because it had a 'skin' on it? I could not eat it. My lunch came with a choice of salad or clear soup. I chose the salad, was very crispy but it had almost an 1/2 inch of water in the bottom of the bowl. My daughter said her clear soup was excellent. Her General Taos chicken had an old freezer taste she said . We were totally unable to eat the entrees. So sad. We had hoped that this would be our go to place for Chinese food.

    We went to Salt & Light for Sushi immediately after landing in Gonzales because we were starving,…read moreand it turned into one of the best date nights we've had in a long time. We met the owner, Shelly, who is originally from China, and she was incredibly warm and welcoming. What really surprised us was that they served us fresh wasabi instead of the usual paste -- I've never had that before, and it was amazing. Once you try it fresh, you can never go back. Our server, Dashay, was fantastic -- kind, attentive, and just such a lovely young woman. We started with hot sake and Kirin draft beer, then ordered a spicy tuna roll and a hamachi (yellowtail and scallion) roll, both of which were excellent. We also had tempura -- the batter was a little thick for my personal taste, but the sauces were so good that it still hit the spot. My favorite dish was the ama ebi (sweet shrimp), especially because they bring out the fried shrimp head, which was crispy and delicious. The sushi was fresh, well-prepared, and beautifully balanced. Between the amazing food and the genuine hospitality, we had such a wonderful evening. I can absolutely see why this is Parker's favorite sushi spot in Gonzales. Highly recommend, and we'll definitely be back.
