Rain

I’m often weary of Asian fusion restaurants that service sushi and another Asian cuisine, but Rain Thai and Sushi Bar does a solid job of both. I was motivated to try Rain after seeing Eater Atlanta name them as one of the 15 essential Thai restaurants in the city. It did not disappoint! The space itself is nice, and the service is always friendly and welcoming. Food comes out at the perfect pace. Highlights of the menu are the Curry Puffs, Crispy Vegetable Rolls and Panang Gyoza. All of the sushi I’ve tried has been fresh and well made. I love the Two Tower Sushi Roll and the Spider Roll. There’s plenty of free parking and never a wait. It’s the perfect spot to grab a good meal.

Food was excellent. Very fresh, delicious sushi. *I would have given five stars across the board but there were two issues. One, their website says they take reservations, so it being a Sunday afternoon for a party of 6, my friend called and made one. Day of lunch, "we have no reservation", no acknowledgement, no apology, nothing. Then to accommodate us, they add a table to a booth by a window. Word of advice, don't sit in the sunroom during the summer, AC is non-existent. It's kinda difficult to enjoy coconut soup or a spicy curry dish.

For drinks we had two Voodoos, very refreshing fruity drinks. Appetizers were Shrimp in Blanket and the Tempura Sampler (two shrimp and vegetables) Mains were Pad See-U and the Super Rain Roll (comes with extra smoked salmon). The food and service (Treent, our server, was very helpful) was most excellent.  However, if I had to do it again, I would have chosen the Valentine Roll, same as the Super Rain Roll, just that the salmon isn't smoked, more for my sushi taste bud liking. We have been frequent diners here through the years and consider this restaurant a favorite!

I’ve been coming here for years. Love it! Only one bad experience. But it wasn’t with the food it was with the server. But that’s one bad experience for at least 50 good ones. They always accommodate me with swaps in the dishes for vegetables I don’t like. Food is always good. My mother loved it here. I wish they had vegan plant based meat options.
