    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.

    The N Illinois roll

    If one were to assume this is a dump, they'd be so very wrong. If you've wondered about this place, I urge you to do yourself a favor and GO IN AND TRY IT!!!! I came in and Maureen greeted me. I asked a few questions about the menu and decided to go with the N Illinois roll and the Philadelphia roll, as well as a Thai iced tea. Little did I know, I could have gotten away with just the N Illinois roll. Now they offer both sushi and some Thai options. I came in specifically for the sushi this trip. The iced tea was delicious, the rolls were well prepared, beautifully presented, and tasted so good. The fish was fresh, there was a perfect balance of sweet and spicy with the N Illinois roll. After I finished, Maureen even gave me a to go menu and recommended a couple of rolls for my next trip. I'm excited to take my mom here. I know she'll enjoy it as much as I did.

    Great place to drop in and grab a quick roll very fresh and comfortable, not a big place so seating at times is a premium .

    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.

    I shop and dine just down from Bann Thai and never knew it was there. Seriously, I drive up and…read moredown Rte 157 and never noticed this little strip center that sits off the road and down in a hollow. It kind of makes it a hidden treasure and I'm glad that I found it. My visit was during a Saturday lunch and I was impressed. I started my meal with Fried Spring Rolls filled with vegetables and served Thai Sweet Chili Sauce. They were a thin crisp shell, that still gave a nice crunch when bitten into. The sauce was a accompaniment. For an entree I chose, Drunken Noodles and added Beef for my protein. I was torn between Pad Thai and the Drunken Noodle and when I asked my server, she said their most popular dish was Drunken Noodles. Then when I went to add my protein it was between chicken and beef. She said beef was her favorite add, so I went with her recommendation. Once my entree arrived to the table I was surprised by its size. It was huge. It was so big, it could have been a meal for two. Guess who had leftovers for lunch the next day. The noodles were flavorful and lots of tender beef and had plenty of veggies. My spice level was 3 out of 5 and I still was sweating along my hairline. Next visit I may have to scale back to a two. The service was attentive and the young lady who was my server, had a bubbly personality. I also had a young man who brought me my order, checked on me and I wasn't even his table. Now that I have found this hidden treasure, I will definitely be back. When: March 7, 2026 Why: Lunch
