My dining experience at Urban Sushi and Thai on Monday, January 29, 2024, at 7 PM was quite notable. Upon arrival, the restaurant had a calm atmosphere, and the staff was extremely efficient in seating our large party of 16 without delay. The interior of Urban Sushi and Thai boasts a clean and minimalist design with a touch of modern decor that is quite appealing.
Our server was prompt in taking our orders and thoroughly knowledgeable, readily answering any questions we had about the diverse menu which offers an array of traditional Thai cuisine and a variety of Japanese dishes, including a significant sushi selection.
Several dishes were sampled by our group, but a few stood out exceptionally. The Padt See Ew Beef was a flavor sensation, with flat noodles perfectly charred from the wok and seasoned to perfection, bursting with taste in every bite. The Krab Avocado Salad was another delight, featuring a mix of imitation crab, avocado, crunch, and fish roe atop a bed of mixed greens and cucumber, lightly dressed with spicy mayonnaise. This dish struck a perfect balance between creamy, salty, and the refreshing crispness of the vegetables.
The sushi offerings were extensive, catering to a wide range of preferences from raw fish enthusiasts to vegetarians, and those who prefer cooked sushi - there truly is something for everyone, and all the sushi we tried was fresh and delectable.
However, I believe there are areas for improvement. For instance, the crispy snapper, priced at $55, seemed somewhat overpriced. While the presentation was impressive, showing the filleted and fried fish alongside the whole fish skeleton, the accompanying sauce was unfortunately bland and too thin, lacking that rich umami flavor that one would anticipate to complement the fish. In this case, the dish did not live up to its price point.
Overall, Urban Sushi and Thai offers a decent variety of dishes to accommodate various dietary needs, and the service is commendable. While there is some room for culinary refinement, the restaurant presents a worthwhile dining experience that I would not hesitate to recommend.
