We went to Maks with zero expectation and just the innate feeling of another foodie adventure. What we found was amazing! Maks brothers converted this Beef O’Brady in a Publix mall into very clean and trendy setting Asian kitchen with Sushi with excellent food! We tried for both lunch and dinner. For lunch, we’ve their Sushi lunch and Pad Thai with green tea. The Chicken Pad Thai was full of flavor and the Sushi lunch was made with very fresh spicy tuna and shrimp. The owner, Billy was not only busy preparing food but greeted everyone at the table and thank them for coming! The house salad is very refreshing and there is a genuine feeling of serving the best food with reasonable price. Wow, the service is prompt and professional! Fully satisfied with our lunch, we went back for dinner. Our dinner appetizers consist of spicy Garlic Edamame and Pan fried Gyoza. The seasoning with garlic, very light jalapeno added an extra kick to the steamed soy bean. Well done! The pork gyoza with ginger soy dipping was on point! We selected Mongolian Beef, Chicken Garlic Broccoli, Red Curry Chicken and Rainbow Rolls as our entrees. The Mongolian Beef was sautéed just right with onion, bell peppers, mushroom, scallion with a touch of Hoisin sauce. The Chicken Garlic Broccoli cooked with fresh and crunchy broccoli and a good touch of garlic. The Red Curry Chicken cooked with coconut milk, basil, broccoli, bamboo shoots and carrots were so good, you can pour your rice into the bowl to enjoy their mild curry taste! The Rainbow rolls with salmon, tuna, yellowtail, crab and avocado are our sushi delight! We were thinking about red bean or green tea ice cream but we were so full. No ice cream tonight! Definitely, there are other interesting items in the menu, we will try on our next visit. Needless to say, Maks is an excellent addition to the Fort Myers dining facility!

L&L Hawaiian Barbecue – Menu with Prices – 854 S Boulder Hwy, Henderson

We have not been here for awhile but were in the mood for L&L this evening. I usually get the garlic shrimp and broccoli which I tried again tonight, along with a side of their mac salad. We also got the shrimp curry with rice. The shrimp in both entrees was the same, the difference was what they put on top. In the past the shrimp (plenty of them) were stir dried with the garlic and the broccoli all at once and was very tasty. Tonight we got the shrimp which was breaded (not my liking) with barely cooked garlic spooned on top. The broccoli was steamed I guess and sitting on the side where the garlic never touched it. This was a big let down! I really wanted that shrimpy-garlicy-broccoli goodness we used to get at L&L. As for the curry it smelled like curry. The shrimp the same battered and fried as in the meal described previously but the curry just poured on top. It was OK tasting? But not our idea of curry and it was rather bland. As for the mac salad, the noodles were mooshy and the taste bland. Something has changed in how they make it, clearly not the mac-salad we have come to know and like at L&L. We did not get our other usuals but based on the two we got tonight I am a bit hesitant to go back. I suppose we will give them a go again and order the chicken instead. We have liked L&L over the past 12 years or so that we have been going, tonight was a disappointment tho. It is till nice and clean inside, and the wait staff friendly so that has not changed. I feel bad giving them 3 stars.

Chinese Wok – Menu with Prices – AA Marketplace, 13220 Harbor Blvd, Garden Grove

Not to be confused with China Wok at Ralph’s, this place is located inside the small food court at AA Market. Prices are pretty reasonable and portions are decent. I didn’t order the combos, but got the family meal. Fried rice- not exactly the best. Rice was kind of dry. Chow Mein- yum. Better than the rice! Cabbage that hey put in was a bit undercooked though. Orange chicken- decent, but soggy. Broccoli beef- some broccoli was over cooked and some were just right. Beef is really tender and delicious- they do coat it in flour or something to make it soft. Curry chicken- the star of all I got. I believe his is a viet style curry with simple ingredients of chicken and potato. The chicken is cooked so long that it breaks apart when you pick it up. It is also flavorful. Ordered online via yelp eats, order was ready when I got there. Friendly service. Would come back again for the curry chicken!

Thai Kitchen Menu with Prices 3421 E Tudor Rd #A, Anchorage

I’m pretty bummed I have to write this but I wanted to share my lackluster experience here at TK. Let me start off by saying I used to love it here. My mom would take me here after she got off work at providence and it was a nice comfort food spot when I was younger. Today I stopped in for the lunch special. $11- seemed fair. I asked for the pad Thai- but was told it already had peanuts in it. A lot of places either put it on the side or don’t add it in till later. This should be a thing for a lot of people as people with allergies want to enjoy food too. I opened the box I was given and saw everything had barely been filled. What’s worse was the food was bland. I had the broccoli beef, yellow curry, and Thai basil chicken. The broccoli beef was not seasoned at all. The yellow curry was watery and not very curry like. And the Thai basil chicken literally was just chunks of old wet basil with poor cuts of chicken. What happened guys? I’ll come back once things are fixed. But for now, you’ve lost my business.

Boun’s Restaurant – Menu with Prices – 4-208 Marion St, Winnipeg

The menu here is a bit confusing as this restaurant calls itself an “Asian” restaurant. So which country in Asia? Well, I’d say foremost it’s Laotian but Laos and Thailand share similar cuisine, so there is definitely the flavours and the heat of Thai food here. Then there’s a few Vietnamese dishes and then the random Chinese dishes. Prices are very moderate and fair as most starters are $3-9 and most shareable entrees are $10-$13. I tried 3 curry dishes and they were all delicious! Definitely come here and order a bunch of dishes and share family style as they will bring you a big bowl of rice. You can order dishes here ranging from a heat quotient from 1-10. I have a high tolerance to spicy foods and eat spicy foods often so a “7” is perfect for a good hit of heat as I could still taste the food and not down water like crazy. I would order an 8 or 9 next time to see what that’s like but I think 3 would be good for most palates if you don’t eat spicy food that often and don’t bother adding any heat if you can’t eat spicy at all. The “panang curry” ($10.95) with chicken has coconut milk curry with green peas and lime leaf had a great creamy texture but not a lot of complexity in the curry. Although I really enjoyed this dish, I preferred the other two curries more. The “basa curry” ($11.95) was recommended by the server and with good reason – it was so yummy! You can select red, green or yellow curry and I opted for yellow curry with a fillet of basa (a white fish) with vegetables. Amazing sauce – definitely try this one! The matsaman “potato curry” ($10.95) can be made with chicken, beef, pork or shrimp and is cooked in coconut milk curry with potatoes, nuts and basil. The beef in this dish was tender and flavourful – I really liked the crunch of the peanuts in this dish too. The restaurant is located near Lovey’s in the strip mall on Marion Street – there’s very limited parking here so you might have to park on the street but there’s plenty of free 1-2 hour parking on the street. The interior space here is bright, modestly decorated and clean. Food was prepared fairly fast and the service was very friendly and warm. A lovely place for lunch or dinner (plus some to take home if you order a few dishes to share).

Tom Yum Thai Restaurant – Menu with Prices – 859 Sherbrook St, Winnipeg

There aren’t a lot of restaurants near HSC hospital but this at the corner of William and Sherbrook is pretty decent for Thai food. Their spice level is serious so if you choose 7 or higher it is spicy! I had 8 once and it was pretty spicy – the kind that’s still good but you’re getting a runny nose and drinking lots of water and I have a decent heat tolerance. I’ll go with 6 and it’s just right. There’s a lunch time buffet but it doesn’t appeal to me so I usually share a few dishes with friends. The green curry, red curry, panang curry and pad thai are all decent. They all average about $10 per dish when you select chicken or beef. Service is fast and efficient.

Blue Fin Sushi Menu with Prices 102 S Samish Way, Bellingham

Went here with a group of sushi lovers who said this was their favorite sushi restaurant. I quickly saw why when I saw the extensive menu of sushi selections. We had everything from plum wine and saki to appetizers of edamame and dumplings then sushi (I had spicy chicken teriyaki since I am not a sushi fan). Also had great green tea ice cream for desert. Prices are a bit high. The quality of food and service is excellent. The restaurant was full and customers were flocking in for “to go” orders which displays that this is very popular destination for sushi.

Sake Thai & Sushi Bar – Menu with Prices – 4401 Sheridan St, Hollywood

Been coming to sake thai on and off for over 7 years and I’d have to say in the past it was much better. The last few times have been disappointing to say the least. Last time I ordered vegetable red curry. When I got it, it was literally a soup with like some sliced up carrots and a piece of baby corn swimming in coconut curry milk. Like 95% soupy milk. I took it back and asked for more veggies, they chopped up a green pepper and added it and still not really the mixed vegetable curry I’m use to. I was expecting actual mixed vegetables and some curry milk but not 75% milk for $15. Then today I went and ordered a noodle with broccoli and tofu “pad see ew” and what I saw was “ew” it was basically noodles and tofu and what looked like some pieces of wilted spinach. Now I have ordered this dish many different Thai places and got some type of broccoli, usually like broccolini long and skinny type. I was expecting a variation of this type of broccoli or at least something that resembled typical broccoli. And I’ve even got it before at this place but probably several years ago. But when I got home with my take order order, I just saw like 99% tofu and noodles and 1% wilted green leaves. I thought ok, they forgot the broccoli which I was really looking forward to eating a vegetable with these noodles. So after calling 3 times and no pick up, I drove 5 minutes back to the restaurant and went to cashier and said you forgot to add the broccoli to my noodles and I showed her no broccoli. She was like,”oh I see the broccoli,” pointing to the wilted green leaves. I was like uh no that’s something like kale and she was like no it’s broccoli and I was like isn’t broccoli like a tree not a leaf?!? And she was like no, that’s chinese broccoli and I was like well I have been to other Thai places and they actually add broccoli. She was like well this is how we do it here. And I was like, ok I was expecting tree style broccoli…I’m disappointed but fine. So long story short, this place is Chen-chi when comes to adding vegetables to their meals. And don’t expect like regular broccoli if you see chinese broccoli and if you don’t want to be disappointed go to Siam Rice. They are much nicer too and know me by name and always ask how I am doing. And much more appreciative of your business. Second disappointing trip back to back at Sake, and not planning on returning.

Bay House Bistro – Menu with Prices – 574 Bay St, Staten Island

So because my friend loves the beef and broccoli from this restaurant I decided to come with her. I ordered the lunch special chicken and broccoli with pork fried rice, the chicken was like rubber which could not be chewed. The waiter was attentive and said he would make me a fresh portion of the chicken. The pork fried rice was very good as well as the egg roll the lunch special came with. Sadly the new portion of chicken was also like rubber. 2 days later I decided to give it another try and ordered sweet and sour chicken I was surprised to see the chicken covered in sauce considering most places put it on the side. No big deal since it was much better than the chicken with broccoli option. Very nice staff seems empty to dine it but many take out orders for delivery.

Roxbury Urban Dive Bar – Menu with Prices – 1743 Grafton St, Halifax

This new hip bar is absolutely AMAZING! We walked in and were greeted insteantkt and felt so much warmth. Their neon sign for the R for Roxbury inside is too cool. They have a DJ in ‘the cage’ which holds a DJ until 330 am. Their entire menu is 5$ – everything. From burgers and fries to curry dishes and desserts. We tried the ‘hot line bling burger’ with sweet potato fries, Bollywood curry and a jerk chicken taco. The burger was super spicy but absolutely amazing, the sweet potato fries were incredibly crispy. The Bollywood curry has fresh chicken and broccoli – so much flavour and the rice was perfect. The tacos- the chicken was unbelievable and perfectly cooked – you could smell it before you ate it. We finished with a sweet carrot cake – everything was absolute perfection. I rarely fall in love with a restaurant but this restaurant I truly hope lasts. Their food, atmosphere and just their overall ambience is electric. 100% recommend.

crushcraft Thai Eats – Menu with Prices – 3675 Gaylord Pkwy #1105, Frisco

As others have mentioned, this is kind of a quick casual Thai place. Give your order and pay at the register, and they call your name when it’s ready. One interesting twist is that they offer bar service, but it’s a separate check from the food. We sampled a Thai beer (Singha, the country’s most popular), but full bar is available if you want something else. For the dining portion, my partner and I tried several dishes, with fairly consistent success. The mango salad to share (as opposed to a side salad) was nice, with julienned green mango and a mild dressing along with various greens. We also had a cup of tom kha kai (spicy and sour chicken coconut soup), and it was fantastic. Great flavor and nice spice, with big chicken pieces. My entree was the beef panang curry, which featured a rich, substantial red curry sauce with large, tender beef pieces over rice. We ended up kind of competing for the beef pieces in this one, it was SO good. Our other entree was the kra pao, with ground pork cooked to almost crispy, basil, bell peppers, onion, chili paste, and a fried egg. This dish was decidedly spicy, and was a very, very good dish. We ended up taking home leftovers (pro tip: consider getting the rice on the side if you plan to do this, so it won’t soak up the sauce overnight) and it was delicious the next day as well. This was definitely a great meal, and we’ll be back for more.

International Fare – Menu with Prices – 9013 112 St NW, Edmonton

I came to International Fare (Thai food) in Hub Mall last week while on a training course for work. I was impressed at the variety and selection. They offer lunch combos starting at about $8. I opted for a Medium size including 2 choices over rice or noodles. The green chicken curry was EXCELLENT. The massamun curry had too many potatoes that had broken down and just felt super thick/pasty – so I wouldn’t order that one again. You can upcharge to coconut rice for an extra $1 as well. Two of my coworkers also had a meal here and enjoyed their food. There was a hair in one of the boxes of food but it’s hard to say when/how it happened. Maybe even while we were eating? Regardless, I’d come back here I a heartbeat for the green curry chicken! Curry on!

Asian Express – Menu with Prices – 4880 Lower Roswell Rd #110, Marietta

This is an addendum to my earlier review (below). I have been back numerous times now, and the service has been outstanding each time, and the food has only gotten better. The egg rolls have improved, with the restaurant now making larger ones for the same price. They are also well-filled now. This is a great example of the owner taking constructive criticism and improving their products. There is no meal that we fail to order these treasures. Ask for the house-made spicy mustard, and mix it with a generous amount of soy sauce, for a nice dipping sauce. I have had the General Tso’s chicken again (as part of the Phoenix and Dragon, whose Phoenix component – spicy shrimp – was dreadful, I’m sad to say). This time the chicken was crispier, and the broccoli green and not over-cooked. So, I’d get the General’s chicken by itself again. We have now tried both the Salt & Pepper Shrimp, and the Salt & Pepper Calamari several times. Both dishes are phenomenal, with the shrimp edging out the calamari because the calamari is a bit over-battered. The flavor is fantastic, with the chilies, onions, and bell pepper slices adding some interest. The shrimp themselves are large, crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside – cooked perfectly. This is my wife’s favorite dish, and I share her enthusiasm. The Singapore Mei Fun (rice noodles, sauteed with shrimp, roast pork, chicken, onions, eggs and other veggies, with a curry flavor) is great too. The plain fried chicken wings are crispy and juicy and super-flavorful from the garlic-soy marinade they were in before frying. They are some of the best I’ve had. See my previous notes about the lo mein, spare ribs and moo-shu pork.
