Yelp.com Review - by Colm A.

3.0 of 5 stars. It's basic, and that's pretty much fine by me. This is the unofficial go to place for my lab whenever we go out to lunch together. If you're in any way associated with UAB you've probably been here…

Best Sushi

I love their Spicy Shrimp Sushi and the California Rolls. The sushi is always fresh and has a great taste.

Yelp.com Review - by Meghan P.

2.0 of 5 stars. Bottom line- if you want Thai food, don't go here. If you like slightly overpriced Americanized Chinese, or decent sushi, then it's pretty good. I do like their tiramisu. The waiters are alright,…

2.0 of 5 stars. Unremarkable. These guys know Thai cuisine, but given local tastes in Alabama they can't get too adventurous with their recipes. The service is great and the restaurant is very clean. Going there for…

Worst management/service, Worst attempt at traditional Thai food, Pleasant Sushi, Apps and Martini's

If you are intent upon visiting this poser restaurant then here is your fair warning. In terms of traditional Thai fare...don't even bother, however if you would like Thai food this is a suble...

Worst customer service in town!!! Don't recommend this restaurant to anyone!!

Food was okay, but the customer service was the WORST in town. Can you believe that a waiter would throw money at the customers? The waiter was very rude at the beginning. The attitude of the waiter got worse...

5.0 of 5 stars. Definitely one of the better food choices in Birmingham. The Thai food is solid, although maybe nothing remarkably different than you'd find in most Thai restaurants. The atmosphere is ideal for an…

Good Food, but not a lot for the money

The food was good, but the portions were small, I had the BBQ chicken, and I thought it was too much money for what I got. My friends had the sushi and said that was very good and another had a noodle bowl...

3.0 of 5 stars. Duck dish was good with less spice than I wanted but I did not ask for pet-pet. The spicy beef salad is excellent and does have some heat if you request it pet-pet/Thai hot.

Worst Service In Town

The food is good, but you will only get what you actually order about 10% of the time. A spot for wannabe hipsters. The service is always appalling, and the servers just don't care about your dining...

Probably overrated but good for vegetarians

Surin is fine but not fantastic. Also, why is there sushi in a Thai restaurant? There are many vegetarian options and it's probabaly one of the most veg-friendly restaurants in the 'Ham. The service is...
