Nice surprise. Locals recommend this restaurant and it was good. Took 11 people and they accommodated nicely. Greatest were nice, server excellent and food was really good. Grouper special over grits was amazing. Crab cakes were good. Very enjoyable meal. Open on Sunday night.

Seafood Dump! This place is definitely a bang for your buck It’s not too expensive and it has great flavor! Absolutely loved the crab legs and the hush puppies! This restaurant also features its own hot sauce and it is so good! We got 2 bottles to take home as well! Our waitress, Leah was so sweet and on her “A Game”! Thank you again Leah!

Honestly extremely impressed with Japanese Express. Placed my order online, and it was ready 10 mins later. The food is great! We got a miso soup, 6 crab Rangoon, a fried roll, and a chicken hibachi dinner for $30. For the price, I’m happy with the quality. I highly recommended it!

My husband and I are both completely dumbfounded by these good reviews. This was absolutely terrible! We started with a salad with ginger dressing, the dressing was good but the lettuce was swimming in water. It went downhill from there. We moved here from Augusta Ga where there was a phenomenal hibachi express called miyabi Jr. This was nothing like that. If you are expecting hibachi like what you get at a Japanese steak house this is not it! We could not even eat it. My husband got steak and scallops. The scallops were like frozen bay scallops you would find in the grocery store and were the size of mini marshmallows. Not what you would expect at a Japanese hibachi express. The steak was either skirt steak or stew meat. This came with steamed flavorless vegetables. That is not hibachi. Chicken had a weird texture and taste. The rice seemed like they threw some steamed rice back in a pan and hit it with some soy sauce. I really have to wonder what these people leaving good reviews eat on the daily. This was like BAD Chinese food posing as Hibachi.

One of the best Thai places in a long time. We found it by accident while heading home to PCola. Diamond in the rough with some powerful food and the nicest staff. We're big on curries and it happened to be on their lunch special, my choice was Red Curry w/shrimp, the broth was the best I've had in many years, hubby had Chicken Pad Thai unbelievable flavor. Lunch comes with soup of the day which was the best and simplest ingredients, also a spring roll crunchy and delicious. Vietnamese coffee just the right amount of everything . We've figured coming back 25miles will definitely be worth it.

Every time I go here they are always super nice and friendly this time I asked her what her recommendation was between the crab fried rice or softshell fried crab pad Thai and she said the pad Thai and boyyyy did she hit the mark, also got Thai hot seafood Tom yum which was in fact hotter than hell but amazing

I just need to share how amazing this place is. The employees care and are so so nice! The place is very clean and well kept! Beyond that, the food is impeccable! Absolutely the best a freshest sushi I’ve had EVER. Sushi is my favorite food, and I have eaten sushi all over the country. (Including other places in the area) So take my word for it when I tell you that you will not be disappointed in the slightest. In fact, I’d venture to say that it’ll blow away your expectations!

The sushi is amazing and fresh here and they also have a large number of other great dishes to go along with it. The owner is also very friendly and greets everyone who comes in. We got the sashimi deluxe and we're treated to an amazing spread of fresh and flavorful fish! The udon was great as well. I almost missed ordering the grilled squid, but saw it on their specials on the chalkboard at the last second and I'm glad I did because it was delicous! We will certainly be back the next time we are visiting Destin. Do yourself a favor and choose to eat here if you love sushi!

Stopped in for dinner during a bachelorette trip and it was absolutely phenomenal. Excellent and kind staff with the BEST soup we’ve ever had - the broth and dishes tasted reminiscent to a home cooked meal. Absolutely delicious!! The rice and noodle soup are a must try!! 🍲

We visited this beautiful restaurant and were so pleased with service, food that we ordered was incredible!! We can tell that it was prepped with care and love! Half duck and drunken noodles, pork wontons and seaweed salad were so delicious! Atmosphere and staff are amazing! Highly recommended this place! Definitely would come back again!!

Everything about Thai Chiang Rai is truly exceptional! The best Thai food I have tried, and I live in Ft. Walton Beach which is known for its plethora of Thai cuisine. Crab Rangoon is so much better than anywhere, I didn’t even realize I liked it until I tried it here! The prices are a bit higher than average, but it’s completely worth it. Every time I’ve visited, the food has been consistently high quality. Fresh and delicious. They do not cut corners with anything. Obviously the owner has tremendous pride in her food, and this restaurant is her masterpiece! Trust me and go try it, you won’t regret it. And I can’t leave out how gracious and accommodating the servers are! They will always treat the guests with kindness and respect. Also the servers know how to cook the food so they are very knowledgeable. Please go.

Although I will say the service is outstanding, I truly do not understand all of the great reviews. My rating of 3 stars is being generous due to the friendly and attentive staff and the cozy atmosphere… and the meal presentation. (10/10) This place has a full bar, the interior is nicely decorated and well kept and YES - the portions are HUGE as some others have mentioned. So LOTS of pluses - however the food itself is just not good (at all) and it’s quite expensive for what it is. I don’t get all the hype about the food.

The food was really great! We drove 30 minutes to get here (the Thai place near our house didn’t look that appealing and we were really craving Thai). The drive was totally worth it! I got the pad see ew with pork and fried tofu and the crab fried rice. My fiancé order the pad woon sen. We will definitely be eating here again.

Went for lunch on a Saturday, there were a few tables taken. Service was great, the waitress was very attentive and provided great service. Food came out quickly as you would expect and it was absolutely delicious. Chicken Pad Thai was wonderful, but it was not very spicy since the waitress didn’t ask me how spicy I wanted it, but it was very good. The crab Rangoons were perfectly cooked and the best I have ever eaten. I definitely will go back and try more from the menu.

Sushi is mediocre. Rice was not much better. Pot stickers were delicious! Food came out fast, staff were helpful. They have hibachi tables which would be fun for family’s. If you are searching solely for sushi, I would skip it.

Came back into town to visit for a couple of weeks, and my friends treated me to dinner. It was very much a treat. Tennessee can't come close to the quality of sushi I enjoyed. Fresh Gulf to table is the only way. I highly recommend this place. If you have never been here, give it a try. You will return again, I promise.

My first visit, Coming Back. Ask for Kitty!! Beautiful dinning atmosphere. ⚡️⚡️✨🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Loved the dress code- no ball caps etc ✅ Opened a wonderful carafe bottle of Domaine Giraud Chateauneuf-du-Pape Tradition, Rhone, France 2018 with fantastic large calamari with homemade marinara appetizer!! They made a menu change for “ladies-size” single Soft Crab as a side dish and side of linguine! I thoroughly enjoyed my Lobster n Shrimp Pomodoro Linguini, with lots of seafood✅ Unable to enjoy my date’s prior experience of Live Music and Dancing after our meal.

Shrimp appetizer was great. We had a group of 6 for a Friday evening with excellent service. However, the grouper with almonds and risotto was a bit bland to the eyes on the plating; even a piece of Parsley would've cheered its' appearance on the plate or some blanched fresh veggies with crisp colors for spting. It was a nice texture and NOT overcooked but seemed lacking in flavoring. Maybe a touch more on some fresh minced sautéed garlic and melted butter could've added to its' taste for my palate. The lemon slice helped in flavors. But it was still a bit lacking after the great tasting shrimp appetizers.

Love this placeee! To the point that I celebrate my birthday here. The best miso soup ever! The purple tiger roll is a yes if you like sweet sushi! The service is just amazing!

Drinks and food were both great, along with great service. The Japanese cocktails are worth a try, especially if you go between 4:30 and 6 for happy hour. The laksa curry ramen was amazing. Will definitely be back to try some more cocktails and food.

The food was amazing! I’ve never had pancakes that good. The poached eggs were perfect, and the hash browns were legit. The sausage was just okay though (I got the Sunday special, and my friend had something similar with crab cake). They kept the coffee coming, which was awesome. Shoutout to our server—super friendly guy who handled our table like a pro, even with a ton of other tables to manage!

It was Easy to go to the counter and choose our donuts, with no waiting. We would like to sit and have breakfast, but we just stopped in & got donuts to go. Came around 10a Sunday morning, in mid~November. There is construction next property over, so had to go down 98 and do a U~turn from 30A. Donuts were fresh and delish!

Romantic atmosphere and the best service (Connie is my favorite). This place has the absolute best appetizers, they are so fun and full of flavor with different texture combinations. We started off with the Baratta and it did not disappoint. My husband loves their cowboy cut steak cooked in rendered duck fat. I got the redfish special topped with lobster, and a side roasted red pepper risotto, and zucchini noodles, artichoke and I was very pleased with this recommendation. The bread service is great as well. I recommend the duck confit also. We didn’t get it this time,but did in the past and it is really delicious

We ate here last night and it is hands down the best dining experience I have had here. From the moment We walked in, the hostess complimented me on my dress, then our table was ready and waiting. We were immediately served water and attended to, then our waitress/server was over the top with service, recommendations, and attentiveness. From the appetizer to the dessert, everything was phenomenal! I cannot say enough good about this experience .
