Hands down one of the best restaurants on the peninsula, and most certainly the best Thai and sushi place in the Hampton Roads area. I have had several dishes here, and each one is super fresh and extremely tasty. In particular, the Pad Thai is simply breathtaking. I order it probably two-times per month. Also, I love the spicy tuna roll with crunch. The place is small, and quiet, so it's great for a date or meeting with friends. The staff is always very friendly, and they answer any questions you may have. Plus, I've never had my water glass get below half, which is a plus for their service. Seriously, go try this place out... I recommend the following dishes: - Pad Thai (Spicy Level 1-2) - Massuman Curry - Green Curry- Cashew Chicken - Drunken Noodles w. Chicken - Crab Rangoons - Spring Rolls- Spicy Tuna Roll w. Crunch - California Roll

This Thai and sushi restaurant is a great spot to catch up with a friend. I'm not sure what the name of this complex in Newport News is called, but there are so many incredible local businesses nearby and a great park at its center. I decided to grab lunch here with a coworker. They were near closing so we ordered way more food than we needed in a rush. It was beyond kind that they accommodated us.We sat outside which was amazing. It was great for people watching and had a nice view of the park. Here's what we tried:Miso soup: what you'd expect, nothing to write home about, but nutritious.Panang Curry: we both really enjoyed this.Salmon & avocado roll: my favorite roll to order out, they did this well.Fresh rolls: super refreshing and a great pick for a hot summer day.Bento box with California roll, nigiri, sashimi, and roll: lots of filling food and great picks. A great dish to share.We had a great time here. If I were back in town I'd love to try more of their Thai options.

The place itself was very pretty and classy. The area was clean and the staff were very nice. It was an upscale restaurant in a cute neighborhood. The service was at a good time and the food was pretty good for the price. It wasn't out of this world but pretty decent food. The combo I got was $19.95 for 3 rolls of your choice off of the menu. Miso soup: the broth was flavorful but the tofu definitely wasn't pressed before since it wasn't able to absorb the flavor of the soup and tasted watery Gyoza: they were standard dumplings that was crispy. The sauce was slightly sweet and salty like soy sauce but nothing outstanding. It's not something I would recommend to get. Shrimp avocado: it was okay. It tasted exactly like how it sounds and wasn't something outstanding. Salmon avocado: a solid roll! It had a good balance of ingredients Spicy tune: the first time I've seen tuna slices in this! It was pretty good but kept falling apart when I tried picking it up Next time: I'm interested in trying the tofu appetizer next time and would try a Thai duck dish.

This is by far the best Thai and/or Japanese restaurant in Newport News. I've been here many times over the years and have never had a complaint about the food quality, the service team, or the restaurants ambiance. The food is flavorful and delicious and a good portion for the price 10/10 recommend!

Thaijindesu is one of the fancier asian fusion places you will find in the area. The restaurant serves both Japanese and Thai food. So if you can't decide between either, this place has the usual popular staples from both cuisines. Their portions are generous, the food is good, the service is great, the place is clean, and the ambiance is pretty laid back. The prices are a little up there for seafood than your usual hole-in-the-wall Thai or Japanese place. But It's a great place for a date and it has the appropriate setting to have work lunches/dinners w/ important clients!

This is my favorite place to get sushi in Newport News by far! Their fish is always fresh and great quality. The only downside is the food does take a good amount of time to come out the few times I've eaten in the restaurant. It's a nicely decorated place, good for a date night or even a family dinner with the kids.

So, it has been quite some time since I visited Thaijindesu - and in one of those "I'm not quite sure why I haven't been back, I think I remember that being okay" kinds of ways, I suggested a colleague and I have lunch there this week to work on a project. It was *not* a great experience, which made me realize why I haven't been back - there are much better Thai and Japanese places in town, and I go to one that specializes on one when I'm in the mood for that food.To start, it took forever to get seated. We opted to sit outside, and then it took forever to get service. I ended up ordering the sushi tempura lunch, and wow. It was not very good. The rice was incredibly bland - didn't even taste like it had been seasoned with any vinegar. The tempura batter was tasteless, and the dipping sauce - yuck. Plus, it was served nearly 50 minutes after we sat down, so I was frantically trying to eat in 10 minutes and pay my bill in order to get to my next appointment. Do yourself a favor, and if you really want good Thai food or good Japanese food, go to one of the many places on the peninsula that cater to that instead. This place appears to have gone very downhill and is likely only frequented for the view of the square.

ehhh, the thai was alright but being to thailand it does not compare, it was very very spicy and not much room to make it less spicy even at the mild level. the service was good. the restaurant was pretty busy but very expensive

Probably the best Thai place, let's change that, the best place Thai food on the Peninsula if not, Hampton Roads. Please note if you are ordering from a food delivery service like grubhub, allow extra time for delivery since they prepare your food to order, no pre-prepared dishes. Below is my last order with reviews/notes for each.Calamari - different from most calamari you will find in the area, but was fantastic.Papaya salad (Som Tum) - better than expected.Basil Fried Rice - basil fried rice is my go to foods in determining what to expect from a Thai restaurant. Very good flavor and not greasy like other Thai places tend to be.Pad Kee Mao (Drunken Noodle) Thai Style or Soup Style - another dish I use as a meter for food quality. Very good, not greasy or gummy.Choo Chee Salmon - ordered for a friend who loves fish and they said it was also fantastic.
