In Delray Beach, Florida….You will Find….Ziree Thai and Sushi….
It was so nice to go back to Ziree Monday night. I have not been back in Delray for some time, but this is a restaurant that we go to every time we are in town. We have been so happy to see it thrive in this community. You find a lot of the local people here and it is probably because their children have been in the local schools. You know how that is, word of mouth is a powerful advertising tool.
Ziree Thai and Sushi is located on 401 West Atlantic Ave., near the tennis stadium. The telephone is 561-276-6549, fax number is 561-276-6540. The website is www.zireethai.com.
On Monday night both sisters were cooking. After all, this is a family operated restaurant. One at the sushi bar and the other in the kitchen. For a Monday, it was pretty busy.
As you come into the restaurant you will notice high ceilings and flowers; the setting has an elegant Zen atmosphere. Comfortable and relaxing.
We brought our own soy sauce, wheat free, because of my husband’s gluten allergy. You never know which restaurant will carry the Tamari brand. They did not have it so we gave it to the kitchen to be used on his dish.
The menu was full of interesting dishes and usually there is a board at the entrance of the restaurant with the daily specials.
You can visit their website and check out their menu.
I have had in the past the Ziree salad and I loved it. So, I got a little worried when I did not see it on the menu, but I asked for it and Ziree made it. It had tuna, strawberries and greens in a light dressing that had just the right amount of heat.
For my dinner I had the Tsunami Roll, which had shrimp tempura, BBQ eel, cucumber, avocado, scallions, spicy sauce, masago, Japanese mayo, topped with tuna tataki, tempura flakes and eel sauce. It was quite a roll. Great!!
My husband had for an appetizer the eel sushi and for his dinner he had fried rice with squid. I know, I know, I cannot imagine what you must be thinking, but if you have not tried squid, you wouldn’t know how delicate the flavor is. Try it next time.
Anyway, we enjoyed our dinner. It was just the 2 of us and we ate a little later than usual. We chatted some with Ziree and then said our goodbyes.
Note: There is free parking in the back of the restaurant. We did not have any trouble on Monday.
Ingredients can be substituted or added upon request. They can alter the hot and the spicy.
Take out is available. Just give them a call. And, gift cards are available, as well.
Ziree serves lunch and dinner and reservations are accepted but not necessary.
