Sky Thai Sushi

Owned by the team behind Tee Jay Sushi in Fort Lauderdale and Wilton Manors as well as Thai House in North Miami Beach, Sky Thai Sushi offers a combination of traditional Thai, authentic Japanese, and a fusion of the two for the downtown business district. The interior of the restaurant takes its cue from the sky: one wall features a wispy mural in soft sunset colors; a blue backlit wall highlights bird cutouts; and above, recessed black lights emit a celestial glow. The offerings here include a number of authentic Thai dishes, such as curries (red, green, panang, and massaman) and stir fries (basil, pepper garlic, cashew, ginger, and vegetable). Traditional Japanese dishes include agedashi tofu, shumai, and miso soup. Thai sushi rolls incorporate Japanese technique with the bold flavor combinations of Thai cuisine, such as the Candy Cane Roll ($15), with hamachi, scallions, and cucumber rolled inside rice and topped with tuna, whitefish, kimchee, and sesame oil.
