LOVE IT!!!
My husband and I went to try the new BKK Thai & Sushi restaurant in Ft Lauderdale for lunch today. We knew the food was going to be good because it's owned by the same owner of Cilantro in Davie.
INTERIOR: nice and cozy and relaxing. Besides the normal table dining area , there is one main bar where many customers choose to sit there to drink and eat. There is another Sushi bar further inside the restaurant. There is also an opened-air, roof top bar/dining area on the second floor where I'm sure we will try one time when the weather gets cooler.
FOOD: the Thai manager has really brought BKK to FLL. There are many traditional Thai dishes as well as Japanese on the menu. We didn't try any Japanese rolls but we tried the Uni shots. Our server, Ms Am, told us that they order only the top quality ingredients and I just had to try it although I was really there for their Thai food. The Uni shot comes with a piece of Uni, a raw quail egg, and green onions in ponzu sauce and drink it up in one go. The Uni was so sweet and creamy and blended so well with the raw egg. The aroma of the mix is still lingering in my mouth.
Ms Am and the female manager were very attentive. They came around every now and then to make sure we were ok. Ms Am was so patient with all our questions about the menu and she explained and described so detailedly. I appreciate servers who know their food.
We also had spicy grilled pork with roasted rice salad, scallop Parmesan, octopus Carpaccio, Pad Krapao, and crispy pork belly with rice. Sorry I forgot to take photos of some of our food but they were all delish!!!
We will definitely go back and try other dishes and will take more photos next time. Easy 5-stars and thumbs up!
Tips: we ordered the first dish at medium spice level and it was very spicy and we had to ask Ms Am to change the rest to mild spice. So unless you like the spicy hot challenge, I'll suggest to go mild and ask for hot sauce on the side.
