We had a large take out order (10-15 people) for a work lunch. I have never had Thai food before so I can not comment on whether this is the 'best ' Thai in the...

"We've been going to sushi Totoro for 20 some years now. I'm guessing it's changed ownership over these years?? Whoever is running it now is doing a top-notch job. Service is excellent, miso soup is absolutely delicious, and sushi is so fresh and wonderful. Easy to understand menu with great choices. It is a small cozy restaurant and don't let the small strip mall atmosphere turn you off. You'll have a great lunch or dinner!"

"Read a good amount of reviews before deciding to try this place. Some people claimed the food tasted rotten. I came prepared. Before my partner and I were greeted, a lady spoke to a man who emerged from behind one of the front counters while having his phone out. I tried to think nothing of it. I ordered teriyaki tofu and rice, Kung pao tofu and rice, sesame balls, and a Thai tea. The food took the same speedy amount of time one would expect and wish for at a fast food establishment. It felt less than 5 min and both dishes were ready. The Kung pao tofu was spicy and flavorful. Whole thing was consumed contently. Sesame balls were good. The problem came with the teriyaki tofu. A few bites were chill. It 's your standard teriyaki dish in terms of flavor. I had a slight funky taste in a bite of white rice. The funk for sure was present in one of the tofu pieces. It tasted sour/gone bad. I had to spit the bite into a napkin. My appetite left. I 'd order the Kung pao again and even try a new dish, but the fact I and other people have had not so good experiences give me great hesitation to come back. The lady at the front was nice. The place was dead for a Saturday evening. I expect and don 't mind waiting for a restaurant to cook some fresh as can get food. I don 't expect a garden in the back. Please don 't serve any more old food. Spent like $40 and didn 't get to enjoy what was paid for. Also, parking is small, so it 's best to park somewhere else close by and start walking."

"Very pleasant experience. Water street is a smaller and very personable venue. Dinner was delicious. I enjoyed one of the specials for the evening, linguine with clams. The other guests food looked good and they were pleased. Staff was attentive and pace controlled by kitchen. Length between meals was a tad long, but all the plates came out together was is appreciated, with high attention to detail on a semi busy evening. Wine selection was good for the venue and paired well with dinner. Yes, we would go back. Desserts were fantastic as well."

"I ordered an espresso and her machine was down... our server bought me an espresso in a neighboring store and brought him to our table. This is an excellent service I will never forget. The food here never disappoints. 6 out of 5 stars, hands down and hats off."
