Take out only
Samran is a locally-owned sushi restaurant just north of the Belleville fountain. With delicious and poignant flavors, peak presentation, and friendly owners; this is a neighborhood-local favorite.
We shared 5 rolls between two of us and had about a roll's worth of leftovers- New York, red dragon, crunchy spicy tuna (which was $1 cheaper than the regular spicy tuna, a nice surprise at only $4.95 with jam-packed flavor), fried Philadelphia (with a unique way of frying it- my date said it was the best way he'd ever tried it cooked), and an ebi mango (the freshest mango I've had all season, it was refreshing).
I've experienced in the past from another sushi restaurant that the sushi tastes best when dining in compared to taking out or delivery. Though I haven't dined in here, the sushi is spectacular when taken out. It makes me wonder what it tastes like when dining in. π€€
I'm sad that my first visit was just last fall (2022) and I missed the opportunity to dine in. Pictures of the interior look super cute and make me feel nostalgic. Hoping that they reopen. π€
My husband and I have traveled all over the world and I've lived in Japan for over 5 years. I am happy to say that this place made us nostalgic for Japan! It's the perfect little hole in the wall place for delicious sushi made the way it was meant to be! The prices are great, the food AMAZING and both the Jasmin and Thai tea were wonderful. The employees were so friendly and I'm looking forward to making this a regular restaurant in our new neighbourhood! Thank you for existing for this traveling couple longing for great sushi far from home!
If they delivered I would order more, but that's on me for being too lazy for pick up some times. The food is always very good
Best sushi you'll ever get at these prices. Nothing even close in price after COVID
Sushi Thai is only doing take out, but I have been going here for YEARS!! (In fact, they know me by name.) Their food is always fresh and delicious. I have referred many of my friends as their prices are reasonable and truely the best quality in our area. Highly recommend!!

It is one of the best places in the area for makizushi and specialty gourmet rolls. Too bad they only serve take-out now post-pandemic. I really do miss the sit down lunch time.
Note, they are running take out only for the time being.
Amazingly fresh. The people are friendly and reliable. A local favorite
Don't let the exterior fool you! We tried the rainbow, spicy tuna, & Philadelphia rolls & Miso soup and all were delicious

Fresh and delicious sushi. Take-out only.
The sushi was good! Got the crazy tuna and red dragon rolls. Sashimi red tuna and salmon were fresh! Spicy wasabi and extra hot ginger - perfect!
Best sushi in Belleville
Best hidden little gem in Belleville.
It was a great experience, glad to find somewhere local that does food this way! Wish they could have dine-in services.
This was my first time here. The food was amazing! It's only take out. You order at the door. Staff was very friendly. I will tell my friends they need to try this place! I will definitely be back soon. Prices are really affordable.
Food terrible if I could give 0 stars I would and I spent $28 on 2 Philadelphia rolls and one California roll asked for extra eel sauce but instead they gave me no eel sauce at all my sushi was supposed to be tempura fried but my sushi came out looking like fried chicken from Popeyes IT WAS NOT GOOD @ALL neither was the pork fried rice it was beyond bland no flavor whatsoever NEVER will i return REALLY HATE I WASTED MY HARD EARNED MONEY!!!!!π€’π€’π€’
I have been coming here with my daughter for years and we absolutely love this place and the owners. They always go above and beyond and it's so refreshing to see thier smiling faces every time. Not only is the sushi delicious and fresh, it is also super affordable. Come to this amazing little hole in the wall for a great experience πβ€οΈ

Great place to eat. Highly recommend!!!
This is a small restaurant, but has the best sushi in the metro area! Thai food is excellent as well. Out of all sushi restaurants even the buffets with sushi, they are not touching Sushi Thai by Samran!!
Hands down - the BEST sushi ever!! Highly recommend the playboy roll!!
It was take out only and I had a little trouble figuring out where to park and how to get food. The pad thai was delicious!
I have been eating at this hidden gem for over 8yrs and they never disappoint I love it here!
Okay food, take out only
Love their sushi and great value!
First time ordering Suhi from here and it was excellent, the staff was great I will definitely be back
Literally the best sushi Iβve ever had! The quality was top notch and portion size was great too especially for the price. Will be back again!
Currently only doing takeout only and their price are very low compared to some thai places I've seen. I ordered the yellow curry and quantity wise it was kind of small but the quality of the food and the taste is amazing! I've had thai food from chicago and the suburbs but this has to be some of the best curry I've had in a while!
Because the menu features both Thai and Japanese food, I expected it to be weird, which it sort of was, but it was also fairly good.
Small, family owned, very kind people.
This hole-in the wall is an absolute treasure! The owners are very friendly and always prepare the best food at great prices. It is my favorite sushi restaurant I've ever been to.
I've ordered from them since 2010 (around that time) and the experience has been great every time.
Love the sushi here! The owners are super friendly too!
My daughter told me about this place. food is a amazing!
This place is delicious! I love it!
The best sushi in Belleville.
I have been wanting to try Sushi Thai for so long and I FINALLY have! I was very impressed with the quality and taste. Don't be fooled by the location, Hands down, this is one of my favorite sushi spots now!
Fresh and hot! Yellow curry was awesome.
The best place for sushi in the area! Iβve eaten here for 8 years and will never stop!
Excellent
Best sushi place ever. Great serving proportions, tastes amazing, and has great owners β€
The food is always quick and delicious.
Amazing always go here for the sushi crave
Really nice people and the sushi is always delicious. Great family owned business.
Excellent food and very inexpensive
Amazing friendly service and best sushi around. Pad thai is so good. I highly recommend this place to all.
I love their food already fresh and good.
By far the best sushi place around. I've come here for years and have never had a bad experience. I'd almost bet money that if you love sushi, you'll have a hard time going anywhere else after Sushi Thai!
Ordered the sushi and sashimi for one... when I arrived to pick up my food there was no salad or soup... one or the other is required with the dish... when I asked where the item is I was told thatβs only for dine-in, there havenβt been any dining in at this restaurant for almost a year! clearly this was a LIE... your charging me for it I expect my moneyβs worth. Dishonest business and I wouldnβt recommend to anyone nor will I spend my money year again.
Hands down best Sushi you can get around here. It might be a little more pricy than other sushi places, but treat yourself, and spend the extra 10$ or so if you can swing it.
Love it!!.. my favorite place to go for sushi, Thai and rolls.
Tasty sushi to go, ready in a flash.
It's just delicious, if they keep the prices as far they can is just perfect
Unfortunately, as of 10-21-20, they have no dine in...even though Covid was lifted in our region months ago. You he to order everything on line,and pick it up curbside.
Delicious sushi at a great price. Very fresh and good quality.
Best sushi in the Metro East( verified by a Japanese national). Clean, and simple interior. The owners are beyond welcoming. Coming in and seeing their smiling faces is one of my favorite parts of the experience.
The sushi is amazing, but letβs not forget the Thai food! As both owners are from Thailand, it goes without saying, that the Thai food is exceptional too. I no longer live in the Saint Louis area, though when Iβm visiting, I always stop here.
A true hidden gem π
They are always so friendly and prompt. The food is amazing and well priced. Definitely one of my favorite places.
The folks that run this place are very nice and the food is absolutely incredible. This restaurant is one of those instances where the local hole in the wall blows chain restaurants out of the water! Their chicken Pad Thai is the best I've ever had and I genuinely love coming back here. 10/10 cannot recommend enough.
Been coming here about 4 or 5 years now. THE BEST MOST DELICIOUS PAD THAI around!!! We love the thin noodles compared to others who use the thicker kind. Tried all surrounding Thai food places and they were gross. Even ones in STL. This is the spot. Even the sushi is super deliciousπ
Their red curry is amazing and they offer some of the best sushi I've tried in the area. I highly recommend the Samran roll and any of the dragon rolls.
Best sushi around. Small mom and pop place on the corner. Great service. Far better priced too, even though it taste better than the expensive places. Even their food presentation is neat! The Thai Food is also worth trying, but I love the sushi so much even if I'm craving thai I get sushi instead. I usually take the thai to go. This is my favorite sushi stop by far.
We have been coming here for over 6 years. We wonβt go anywhere else to have sushi. Very friendly owners and clean place to eat.
Love it!
Great food and excellent service for low cost
The best sushi in the Midwest, hands down. They also have delicious Thai Tea. The owners are so friendly and creative. I have shown this place to many friends, who then show their friends, and so on. Iβve never heard anything but great reviews.
This is my favorite sushi place, hands down. Itβs always delicious and not overly priced. Highly recommend.
I love coming here! I visit here so often that the owners recognize me when I walk in. The sushi is great and the service is always great!
Great service
Nice family owned vibe! Their food is excellent and not too expensive. I never would have thought Thai food and sushi would be as good a combination as it is until I first went to Sushi Thai! It has room to sit down as well as pick up options for both when you have time to sit and eat or when you're on the go.
Absolutely delicious!!!! Some of the best sushi around!!!!
It was phenomenal. Bit of a wait, but other than that π. Try the Ebi Mango roll.
Decent sushi small place

Delicious sushi and Thai food!
The owners are extremely friendly. the sushi is great. Awesome dressing amd miso soup.
The sushi was good and the service was fast
The meal was ok. I had the Pad Thai. I am so used to the lighter citrus flavor that is provided by the lime and was not given a slice of lime. I tried the other Thai restaurant and did not receive a slice of lime.
Great shusi place i liked it overall
Best around. Playboy is my favorite!
Amazing food very cheap
I can't tell you how many times I've eaten here. Love their food, and their lunch specials are great.
Decent cheap food.
Best sushi place ever!
Good food. Good service. 5 star? No, but solid choice for the Belleville area!
Absolutely AMAZING sushi!! Stoked to be moving to the area soon, we will definitely become regulars.
I don't know how this place has high ratings. It is not clean! You can literally just look behind the counter and tell! I ate 1 bite of sweet potato sushi and threw up! It smelled like it had be cross contaminated with raw fish. I looked at the place and knew right away it was nasty, but it was icy and cold, so I took the risk but I should have just followed my first mind and passed!
Beyond delicious! The workers are so joyful and well spirited. Good prices too! Loved it. For a small local business they are doing stupendous.
Some of the best sushi I've ever had.
Sushi and Thai food, just as the name implies. The sushi is always fresh and delicious. I usually get Pad Thai as well, and I tastes as good as any dedicated Thai restaurant. Prices are very resonable, and the value is excellent. They do not have fountain drinks, but they always have tea and lemonade as well as canned sodas and thai iced tea. My family frequents this shop.
Sushi prices are very cheap and affordable, and is quite delicious!
One of my favorite places in the area! Cheap and delicious with fast service.
Great selection of Thai and Sushi! The food is fresh and wonderfully delicious. Nice clean single gender restroom.
Simple place. Great food. Great service. Great prices. We will be back.
Absolutely great. Small, local place with great service and excellent sushi.
Awesome sushi one my favorite restaurants around
Small and cute place. The Play Boy roll was fantastic.
We frequent this place. Very small but food is awesome! Very reasonable prices! Love the lunch...buy 2 get 1 free!
Great service and sushi
Fast service.
Good food.
Rolls on the small side but price is really good. Their salmon is a must have, and their Thai tea is really good. The owners are so nice and do their best to make sure you are comfortable.
Absolutely amazing and terrific service as well!
Amazing food! First time tryin the raw sushi, The rainbow was great!!! Iβll be back for sure
We absolutely love this place! They always remember our order when we call for carryout, and their customer service is excellent. Food is delicious and these veggie lovers is my favorite choice as a vegetarian. Great prices too. Don't be fooled by the small storefront, this is top notch.
Great sushi, fast service!
Their sushi gets 10 of 5 stars.
Great sushi great service I like the Belleville roll
Excellent and good prices too!
Absolutely love the sushi here and we go here all the time! Friendly and great prices too!
Spider roll was very nice..good sized crab..spicy salmon roll was rather small not as flavorful as others I've had
This is the best sushi in Belleville! Reasonable prices, nice sized sushi rolls, amazing service EVERY TIME. Best part, they sell awesome Thai food as well! Fish is fresh and always great. I visit this little restaurant regularly. They only have about 10 tables, so get there early. They've got a killer lunch special, and I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great sushi in the area. You won't regret it!
Excellent food and service!
