In Watertown Square, come for a large selection of fresh sushi and staple Thai dishes. Casual atmosphere with a small sushi bar in the back. Welcoming service.

Start with seafood coconut soup. Think Thai tom yum soup mixed with Thai coconut curry. Tang and sweetness. A hint of spice. Generous portion of squid and a few shrimp. Rich and creamy.

Sushi is pleasant. The maki rolls are a little larger than some institutions. Negihama (yellowtail) is meaty with bits of scallion. Full disclosure, Philadelphia maki is a guilty pleasure. Something about that bagel, cream cheese, and lox craving. Salmon is buttery and smooth, rolled with cucumber and scallion.

Tons of Thai dishes from simple stir fry and curries to chef specialities. Thai style basil presents ground chicken with strong notes of soy. Blended with peppers, green beans and Thai basil. A little chili sauce. Although the menu shows two hot peppers to represent heat level, this dish is on the mild side.
