    Salmon Nigiri - 2 pcs
    Katie E.

    I've been ordering takeout from Thai Bar Shi for a while now, but finally stopped by for dinner at the restaurant, so I figured it was time for a review. This place is no doubt one of the best sushi spots in the immediate area, I only docked it a star because it has a little ways to go before it can compete with some of the Boston spots I'm used to. One of the reasons we love this place is because they do a good job with both the sushi and all of the other Thai and Japanese dishes, which is perfect for when not everyone in your group is in the mood for raw fish. It can be a little slow, but that's just because it's small and popular, but everyone who works there is really nice and accommodating. Some of my personal favorites from the menu are the Weymouth Cowboy Roll, Hungry Tuna Roll, Tom Yum Noodle soup, and Pad See Ew. All the Nigiri I've tried have been pretty tasty, too. I also saw some drool worthy handrolls going by throughout the meal, I'm definitely going to have to try those the next time I visit. Maybe they'll push me over to that 5-star rating. The pad thai is kind of unique, it's a much skinnier noodle than I'm used to, but the flavor is decent. We also tried the Hotate Hokkaiyaki (which is literally on fire underneath), and while it was good, I felt like you're pretty much paying for the theatrics when it's mostly a pile of crab stick. I also think their special roll menu could use a little more variety. It's a lot of different variations of a similar shrimp tempura roll. Overall, I would 100% recommend this place. I'm just a bit of a snob when it comes to my sushi order :) I'll definitely continue coming back though!

    We have been coming here for a while, last time was around a year and half ago. Came back and man this place still hits! The sushi is delicious beer is cold! Dessert is not their thing won't recommend the Green Tea cake! Glad to see the quality and service it still on point!

    Salmon Hand Rolls and Yellow Tail & Uni Hand Rolls
    Shirley C.

    Delicious, cute designs, fast services and had a great time. We got two handrolls, a sushi roll, mackerel 3pc sashimi and a bashi cold noodle. The handrolls were fantastic, my favorite is the yellow tail with uni, but the salmon one is also good, just boring compared to the yellow tail. I love the sauce that you squeeze into the hand rolls, it added a pop of umami flavor. The roll gan airport roll was fantastic as well, the crispy rice bottom topped with avocado, tomato, and tuna/salmon was just a great balance of flavor and texture. Super delicious! The bashi cold noodles were good but wouldn't order again. The noodles wasn't cold, it was warm, the broth is just a very simple beef broth, the flavors are very subtle. There was a generous portion of meat and the jalapeños definitely adds a kick of spice. But overall, the flavor of the broth was too bland for my liking. There is a parking lot out in front, the interior is cute and the menu is very nicely designed. The servers are very kind and attentive. I love this place overall, the food is delicious!

    I came here after lunch, its slow so service was really fast. I ordered pad thai and anago sushi. The sushi was stunning. They definitely have more eel meat over rice overall and the sauce was on point. Pad thai is decent. Portion is not too big but tasted good.

    My most recent visit at Thai Bar Shi was tonight. I really do hate to give low star reviews but the lack of professionalism from the staff today was unacceptable and unwarranted. We ordered a bunch of rolls (NBA, caterpillar, dragon, sashimi & sushi combo, and more) as well as hot foods such as boat noodle, hokkaiyaki, etc. Tonight, they did end up getting busy; lots of takeout, deliveries, & dine ins, however, that is no excuse for the passive aggressiveness and plain rudeness that our server and one of the other workers at the front projected to us. What happened: All of the dishes we ordered arrived to our table and we had one more dish we were waiting on (sashimi & sushi combo 6 nigiri 6 sashimi). It had been some time that we waiting so we decided to just ask our server, when she wasn't busy serving the other tables, if it was still coming or if it was forgotten, that is also fine no problem, just take it off the bill. We were simply just wondering, as it was getting late. She responded snarkily, stating that it's coming but ITS BUSY !!! Mind you, our waters also had not been filled in a while at this point... all glasses were empty. We're understanding that it can be overwhelming when it's busy. What I cannot understand is the attitude when we asked nicely about a dish that hadn't arrived in a noticeable time. If the dish was forgotten, it's totally okay, I get it, it happens. The second instance of rudeness we experience during this visit occurred when we were leaving. We asked if we could get a bag for our leftovers and the guy at the front got annoyed but reluctantly went to grab us a bag. Then we realized that some soy sauce packets would be nice to pair with the leftover sushi, so we asked if we could please get a packet or two of soy sauce. His response to this was "Anything else?!" in an obvious angry tone + looked like he was fuming. So, he came back with the soy sauce and would not let go of the packets to hand to us and said "YOU'RE WELCOME. " I'm not sure what was going on today at Thai Bar Shi, but it honestly rubbed me the wrong way. The last time I visited, I wasn't the most satisfied with my experience, but that was regarding the food quality. This experience was a total disappointment overall. Not once did we actually complain to/about our server. We were very calm all the way through our meal and we tried to be as nice and understanding of why they would treat us this way. We also tipped well on top of this... Now, I am truly unsure of if I would ever want to step into the establishment again. This was not cool.

    Crispy pad Thai - too sweet
    Sandra S.

    Decent place if you can't decide between Japanese or Thai food. I really liked the tuna bomb and hungry dragon maki. I would probably skip the spicy combo as it was pretty basic. And I would definitely skip the crunchy Pad Thai. It tasted like the sauce was a sugar coating and was way too sweet. Not pictures was the green curry which I used to try to cover the sweetness. The crunchy chicken on it was good though. Plenty of parking and a average amount of seating. Causal spot.

    Wow just simply amazing!!! We had a wonderful foodie ladies night! Food is unbelievable fresh and delicious, service is super friendly, they were super busy with dine in and take out. It was busy inside but not noisy. Our servers are super nice like your big sister and little brother, very attentive and checked on us many times with wonderful smiles, making our night even better. We all amazed with our Lady server's memory, applauding for that, we got around 25 items with 3 separate checks and she don't even need to write down and got them all right! They wouldn't mind we separated the checks, which u may get a long face from other places. Sushi are the freshest I ever have , I went to many places. Amazed how delicious they are, simply look at the fish oil on it! Highly recommend and absolutely will be a regular!!! Thank you for giving us a wonderful night! Only one thing is hope there's dessert, literally one green tea item...

    Duck Noodle Soup
    Shirley L.

    Small local shop, with limited seating so get take out during busy hours (if you can). Food is very flavorful and service is decent. Things I'd recommend Takoyaki Hotate hokkaiyaki (on fire) Duck noodle soup Super Bowl Tuna bomb Sweet torches shrimp Khao Soi Thai tea Typical average dishes Kra pow Lo mein noodle Tuna avocado maki Spider maki Caterpillar roll Uni nigiri Papaya salad Salmon sashimi Yellowtail Cold sake Weymouth cowboy Good local spot for Thai food and sushi!

    Hotate hokkaiyaki on fire (scallop, imitation crab, octopus, shrimp, tobiko, spicy mayo). $12.50

    Stopped by here earlier for dinner and the food was delish! The restaurant has a nice warm/cozy vibe with about 7 small tables (2-4 ppl per table) and serves a combination of Thai and Japanese dishes. Some highlights from the meal: Thai Boat Noodles Soup ($13.95) - WOW, WOW, WOW. This might be the best boat noodle soup that i've had in Massachusetts. The soup was aromatic, addictingly tangy, spicy, savory, and mildy sweet all in one. They also thickened the soup with pork blood (the traditional way like they do it in Thailand) which gave the soup more umph, umami, and a warm richness! I also really enjoyed the awesome bounciness of their homemade pork meatballs in the soup! Anago eel nigiri ($9 per piece) - The anago was ginormous and literally 10 inches long. It was definitely the biggest nigiri that i've ever seen, but remember, bigger is not always better! While this felt like a good deal, i thought that the fish skin could've benefited from a better outer crisp. After taking my first bite, it kind of made me feel like the chef was in the process of trying to give the skin a good crisp but quit halfway. O-toro fatty tuna belly ($9 per piece) - YUMS! The o-toro was really good and tasted even better than many of the more expensive places that i've been to in Boston. The toro was super fresh and literally melted in my mouth (yay!). This made me very happy and was a great way to start the weekend. Sushi rice (negative -$1): Dun dun dun............this is the only thing that i didn't quite enjoy at dinner today. The sushi rice was unfortunately not edible at all :(. The rice felt like some kind of weird mushy gooey rice pudding mix which really distracted me from being able to fully enjoy the sushi. My hope is that this was just an isolated incident on their end. Would've given the restaurant a 5 star review if it weren't for the rice. Tip: If you plan to come here on a Friday/Saturday night, i would recommend that you try to get here before 6:15pm. Otherwise there might be a 30-45 minutes wait. Enjoy!

    Got some sushi, and pad Thai takeout for lunch today. Put the order in at 11:30am when they started taking orders and it took about an hour for the food to be ready as they were very busy with takeout. The pad Thai portion size was really good but it could use a little more flavor. We also got the Weymouth roll and spicy tuna/salmon combo and it was ok not much flavor on the sushi either. Overall I would recommend for a quick lunch as it was priced fairly.

    ankimo (monkfish liver)
    Francisca W.

    small place (4-5 tables of 2), but with lots of takeout biz, food turnover is adequate to keep ingredients fresh Japanese dishes (which we mostly ordered) are well-made. Plating is appealing (ex. tuna bomb, scallop hokkaiyaki). There are some inventive renditions of regular ingredients (ex. Aladdins). Huge plus for offering "off-mainstream" items like akimo (monkfish liver), anago (sea eel), and sea grapes. Thai food was great too; had a veggie Pad See Ew, veggies cooked through but not mushy, flavors were there. Portion a bit small but great since I'm mostly munching appetizers. Service was friendly and adequate. The place is clean. Extra points for ease of parking. Through and through a great experience. Would trek all that way just to do it again (and did).

    Food was really good! I always love ordering small appetizer dishes to share. The service was decent and once you get a table the wait wasnt bad.

Too bad they did not do the same with the peanut sauce for the rama crispy duck. But still everything was good. And the 4 jumbo shrimp were quite large, and exceedingly crispy. The same broccoli, snow peas, carrots, and diced bell peppers were nicely formed into a nest under both the crispy shrimp and the crispy duck, while the Mixed Vegetables included yellow squash, zucchini, some leafy greens and baby corn with the carrots, broccoli and bell pepper strips. I noticed a dated sign in the window, celebrating their anniversary in April with a free dessert for those dining in and hitting a certain spend amount. *** January 2026 Their chicken satay sadly seems to have shrunk in the new year. We selected duck as the protein on the pad Thai and it was a good portion. And they provided plenty of tofu in our entree, which came with white rice.
