    Crazy Tuna
    Naomi W.

    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.

    From left: spicy salmon, salmon, tuna, crunchy tuna.

    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.

    Great pad Thai. Also delicious spring rolls that are deep fried and have a savory dipping sauce.

    Best Japanese buffet I have ever been to…read more I usually go to the south side of STL one. Food is great, clean, and fancy with chandaleers. I don't reccomend the one in Ilinois.

    My family & I drove 40 plus miles to eat here and was extremely disappointed. The ambiance was…read morelacking. The carpet was dirty and sticky. The hibachi cooker spent the entire time on his cell phone while scratching his neck, face & arms asking continuously, "spicy , not spicy." The stir fry was overcooked. Our waitress did not wait. We had to clean our tables due to the plates piling up. We were not asked if we wanted a refill on our drinks the entire time we were there. She walked past us with a scowl on her face like we had stolen from her. She never introduced herself to the table. The food was okay but not worth the price. We waited 15 minutes for the check, she never brought it. We walked to the front and I asked the manager for the check and he directed me to the young lady at the register. Out of nowhere, our NON-waitress threw the check on the counter. All we could do was look at her. The entire time we were at this establishment, there was no interaction with the waitress because she never came to the table. I normally leave a 20%-30% tip but today it was Zero. Needless to say, I will not patronize this restaurant again. I had to give the restaurant 1 star because there wasn't a box for zero.
