    I thought I would write another review simply because this is such a phenomenal culinary destination. I have been here many times and always enjoy everything I order. Lily is a most personable and attentive human and I always look forward to her hospitality. My youngest daughter very much enjoys this establishment as well. I obviously highly recommend this GEM 💎 of a location!

    To start with, I'm thai and eat alot of sushi. I've been to really bad places, and world class restaurants with renowned michelin star chefs. This restaurant in particular I came to check out because they had pretty good reviews. Unfortunately, I cannot agree with them. The service is good and the restaurant is clean. My wife is Chinese and ordered the Thai green curry with chicken. She mentioned it was the milkiest Thai curry she's ever had while also lacking flavor. I ordered the Sushi Jo which surprisingly came with a nice variety of fish. Unfortunately, majority of the fish had a dry matte look and mushy texture which tells me its not as fresh. Flavor and quality wasn't there. The miso soup was watered down and tasted like someone added a bunch of salt to make up for it. The salad was typical with decent dressing. I requested low sodium soy sauce and it tasted like regular soy sauce that someone added water to. Rice within the sushi was mushy and overly seasoned with mirin. The seaweed used to wrap the nigiri and roll was thin and of cheap quality. I also ordered the Botan Ebi which gets confused as Ama Ebi. This to my surprise was fresh and sweet with the shrimp head fried perfectly and a slight drizzle of unagi sauce over it which was just right. Unfortunately the rest of the meal was not of the same caliber. I tried this place due to the high markings, but I dont see how they are justified. If you enjoy big special sushi rolls with 8 different fish in it and drenched in 3 sauces, this may be the place for you. In my opinion, there are better restaurants in the area for the price paid.

    This is exactly the type of Thai restaurant that I love. Very low key, with limited interior decorations. The entrees were very good, particularly the panang curry. The server was delightfully pleasant and helpful in choosing the panang. Great recommendation! Prices are infinitely reasonable for the delicious and fresh food you get. I definitely will be back.

    Diamond in the rough. Unexpectedly good food from a hidden hole in the wall. If the Double Lobster thing is available I highly recommend it!

    We’re celebrated a birthday. We got a free desert. Good place, a little bit cold inside, but interior so-so. The food was good. A portion a big.

    Wow my first time trying Rain and I'll never go anywhere else. The best Thai and Japanese food. I'll be going back again very soon, luckily very close to our home too. Wish i hadn't waited so long.

    We had 3 rolls, the Cougar, Crybaby, and the Hangover. They were amazing! Will definitely be back soon!

    One of my favorite Thai spots! Lovely serene atmosphere and kind, attentive workers. The food is prepared with great care, is full of flavor, and the portions are excellent. Prices are cheaper than most also! Highly recommend. Try the curries and Tom Kha!

    Every time we go to RAIN we have an amazing meal. The sushi rolls of the Funky Monkey, Cougar, and Pretty Boy were very tasty and delicious. The Pretty Boy was altered due to allergies and the restaurant was fantastic in accommodating. The edamame is always good. Highly recommend

    Everyone is so gentle here and is a clean space. I love this place for lunch break. The food looks delicious! PS: I am waiting for my food and everything is going perfect so far. It was a pleasure being here ☺️❤️

    A nice quiet restaurant. Our server was great and friendly. Everyone in my party's food came out quickly and exactly as ordered. Everything tasted great. Definitely a place we'll be going back to.

    Unique and delicious sushi rolls. Plus, My second time trying duck. The basil duck entree was amazing

  • 4/5 Chris and T. 1 year ago on Google
    The ambiance can be loud. We were lucky to come when it was quiet because there were only two tables that were taken. Colorful decor. Reasonable prices. The sushi rolls we ordered were unique and delicious. The menu offers Japanese and Thai dishes. There is a goid variety. They even offer frog legs. 🐸 Does anyone actually order that? 😆 our server was friendly and attentive but interruptive, too. The cheese rangoons tasted weird. Overall, we had a nice meal at a good price.

    Lunch menu value is great! The food itself was also very good. We got the basil noodles and curry fried rice, both of which were great. The rolls are also very good, and the staff are wonderful! Highly recommend if you’re looking for Thai / sushi 😊

    The worst of the worst! Take out took almost 30 minutes. 5 small burned dumplings. Tom kha tested like a bad watery seafood soup with lots of salt. I ordered noodles with vegetables and I received 4 pieces of vegetables. Don't waist your time and money go somewhere else.

    Fresh Sushi, pleasant waitress, comprehensive menu and good service. So, then, why 4 instead of 5 stars? Soup was room temperature, at best, and food-price-quality-portion size was a bit out of sync. Like most Sushi restaurants, less rice, more 🐟 🐠 🎣 🐡 seems to be the key. Yes, yes, I'm aware of the ongoing inflationary environment, but at $12 per roll . . . A bit of fish won't hurt. Overall good experience, average or slightly above food quality, with slightly higher prices. Recommend!

    The service is great and nice deco. The Sushi is good but the pad thai is a bit mushy to my taste. The Thai curry is good though.

  • 5/5 Leila C. 2 years ago on Google
    Seriously delicious and such a clean environment. Highly recommend. From the outside the place seems pretty plain but the interior is nice, the staff is nice and the food was excellent.

  • 5/5 Matt C. 1 year ago on Google
    Friends recommended this place, and it did not disappoint! My wife had the sushi, and the presentation was incredible. The sushi itself was great too! Had the Dynamite Shrimp for an appetizer. YUM! Both of us had Thai dishes. She had Green Curry Shrimp. I had Lad Na Chicken. Both, medium. OUTSTANDING. We look forward to going again soon!
