“ The food was absolutely amazing, we left feeling great and like we just ate some healthy food. There’s a lot of options and their sushi was fresh, delicious, and beautiful! The curry was also phenomenal. My wife got the Pho and pho to go. She loves it! Easily one of the best places in town to eat, hands down. ”
“ I go to many sushi places around the country and this one might be my favorite. I’ve tried several rolls and sashimi and always top notch. The service is great. Professional and attentive. Estefany is especially great, but everyone has made every experience very positive. I’ve been there about a dozen times now and it’s been very consistent. I’ll re-visit every time I’m in town. ”
“ A perfect Sunday morning, early afternoon spot, refreshing and clean atmosphere with a sophisticated decor. Service was professional and courteous. Our server Sebastian was an absolute picture perfect host for our experience. The food was expertly made and presented very quickly. Tasted delicious, I got one dish listed as mild spice and another medium, both were very tame in spice but bountiful in flavor and complexity. Absolute must visit for anyone who enjoys Thai. ”
“ I had the chicken sautéed in cashew nut sauce and it was fantastic. The lunch portion was also enough to be satisfied. The rest of my party also enjoyed the food they ordered. ”
“ The food was fresh and delicious. Great amount of spice and flavor I enjoy the vibe of the place as well as the people that work there. I got the basil fried rice and it was automatically my favorite thing with a hint of spicy and sweetness to the dish I enjoyed it and so will you. ”
“ 09/2025: This is by far the best restaurant in the county! The flavors are so perfect, the temps are always perfect, the food is received in a timely manner, and everyone is kind! There is so much to try on the menu, and I intend to try it all! 06/2025: It was an amazing experience! The redecorating of the place is beautiful, the sushi bar is bright and colorful, and each bite of food tastes like a masterpiece. We will be back! ”
“ Erin the waitress is absolutely amazing ! The other wait staff was also very bubbly and kind. Erin is like the icing on the cake for this place because the food is incredible !! I have tried Thai food every restaurant in every town I’ve been to and this place has one of the, if not the best qualities and tastes of food that I have had. I almost passed over it because it is connected to the Red Roof Inn and I wrongly assumed that it may not have been of good quality. My was I wrong ! Do not pass this place over ! I got the Thai tea (of course) , chicken basil sautee , and the tom kha soup with shrimp. Tomorrow I am coming back to try the sushi that the staff raves about. I will never miss a chance to come eat here when I’m in town ! Don’t let this place go out of business due to lack of support. They are far too good!!! Amazing job, guys! ”
“ Lunch at Sup Poon Thai was absolutely delicious! The red curry and Chiang Mai khao soi stood out, both creamy, flavorful, and rich with authentic spices. Portion sizes are well designed: lunch is just right for one person, while dinner portions are generous enough for families or hearty appetites. I also loved that they easily swapped in tofu. Only tiny hiccup was a sake glass that wasn’t spotless, but everything else was spot on. ”
