Outside of Thai Thai's

Thai Thai’s is a new restaurant that opened in the new Stoney Run section in Newport News.  This is the new shopping/living/eating complex at the corner of Jefferson and Denbigh. 

Thai Thai’s is a takeout restaurant that also has some inside seating.  When you walk in, it looks very clean and welcoming.  The lady at the register was very nice and courteous.  You can eat in or take out.  My husband and I decided to eat in. 

Once we ordered, we sat down and waited.  It took just under 10 mins for our food to come out.  They were super quick.  I ordered Pad Thai with tofu and my husband ordered Pad See-Ew with tofu.  Both dishes were delicious and a good size.  We ordered regular which is currently $6.95 ($8.95 for large).  I also ordered Thai Tea.  The Thai Tea wasn’t the best I’ve had but it was still good.

They even have a separate ‘Vegetarian Dishes’ section which is so nice.  Some options include Mixed Vegetables, Pad Pak, Tofu (steamed or fried), and Vegetable Pad Thai .  The Vegetable Pad Thai is loaded with vegetables – different than the meal I ordered.  I like the traditional one with tofu a little better so that is why I didn’t get the loaded vegetable one. 

They have a set up like Panera where you leave the dishes and trays on top of the trash can when you are done.  It was a great first experience at Thai Thai’s and we will definitely be back.

Osaka Sushi Bar

Osaka Sushi Bar in Stoney Run Shopping Center in Newport News was a nice surprise.  My husband and I went on a week night and they weren’t busy at all.  It was just us and one more couple.  The atmosphere was nice thought not overly Asian themed.  They don’t have an overwhelming selection of vegetarian options but I like how they label their rolls as “c” for cooked, “u” for uncooked, and “v” for veggie.  Be sure to not confuse the U’s for V’s.  The best veggie roll that I’ve tried there is the cucumber avocado roll.  It had roasted sesame seeds around the rice that really added to the flavor.  It was delicious!  The service was quick and friendly and the price was just right ($3.50 for the cucumber/avocado roll).  I will definitely go back.
