Sushi Simon, Boyton Beach, Florida, Restaurant, Review, Palm Beach County
I don’t remember how many times I have visited this small and intimate Asian restaurant located in Boyton Beach, Florida. Sushi Simon was recommended to us by someone that was at another dining table and heard us talking about sushi, a couple of years ago.
The address is 1614 South Federal Highway, Boyton Beach, FL 33435. Tel. 561-731-1819. It is in a shopping center on the corner of Woolbright and South Federal Highway.
Sushi Simon definitely has a following. The restaurant can get crowded. Back in December I went with my son and sat at the bar. We had a great dinner. We talked to Simon and he told us he had worked at Sushi Jo, also in Palm Beach County. On Monday, Simon was at his usual spot, behind the bar fixing sushi and other delicacies. His rolls contain plantains, strawberries, macademia nuts. His Crazy Lucy soup is not just a Miso soup but the inclusion of different types of fish; another twist from the usual.
Just a few diners at that time of the evening. I must admit that since my husband has to eat gluten free, at times is a little hard to find a gluten free interesting roll. That was the case on Monday. The rolls he wanted, he could not eat. He finally settled on one and to tell you the truth I don’t even remember what it was. He said it was good, but with not enough enthusiasm.
He also had 2 orders of Escolar, sashimi style. Escolar is a snake mackerel and is found in deep tropical and temperate waters around the world. Some restaurants call it white tuna.
I, on the other hand, started with Conch, sashimi style. We also ordered fresh wasabi. It is so good and a big difference from the wasabi they usually serve you. Conch is usually a little tough but I did not mind it. I, actually, expected it. It was a little boring so I probably would not order it again.
I wish I could remember the rolls I had. They were so good. Part of the evening’s special. Usually I can write the description from the menu but only the names were written and I can’t even remember those. They were funny names.
These are the pictures of my rolls. Very good, indeed.
If you do not like sushi or sashimi and think you can get something else at Sushi Simon, then, think again because this restaurant does cater to sushi and sashimi aficionados.
If you have to eat gluten free then be flexible and bring your own gluten free soy sauce.
I almost forgot to tell you that the service has been constant; friendly and willing to help with the menu.
Sushi Simon has reviews that go from excellent, to terrible, rolls are too small, or best ever, and the usual too pricey. It’s personal thing, so check it out and decide for yourselves.
Short and to the point. Next time I will make sure I get those descriptions before I get too comfortable.
Have a great day!!
