Thai Koji

Thai Koji, 2330 N. Wickham Rd., Melbourne, FL 32935 4.5 Stars Holy Rainbow Roll, Batman! Yet another Thai/Japanese combo hash house was staring at me from my random name generator. I have to fix this; all I'm getting lately are these places and Tex-Mex joints. This time, I was heading OTB to sample the fares offered at Thai Koji off of N. Wickham Rd. in Melbourne, FL. After being seated, handed a menu and assured my server would be right with me, I took a few pictures of the place and got ready to snap some of the menu. When I opened it, much to my surprise, I had committed a deterrational act. In so doing, I uncovered a leader in the Thai/Japanese cohort. As previously mentioned, I have a relative currently residing in Thailand. They have assured me on numerous occasions that two things you never find in a restaurant there are chopsticks and sushi. This place knew that and had two DISTINCT menus: Japanese and Thai, leaving little room for discussion. Am was our waiter for the meal and other waitstaff should take lessons from this man. He was exceptional in every category in which a server can be ranked. Well done, Good Sir! I asked Am for some Chicken Satay, Pad Kra Pow Stir Fry w/minced pork and a Lobster Roll. Sitting back and taking in the chill vibe, I wasn't too long before Am was seen returning with my feastage. I quickly dug in as the fusillade of fabulous fragrances ambushed my olfactory nerves. The Chicken Satay consisted of huge pieces of breast meat skewered, grilled to perfection and paired with a delicious Thai peanut sauce. The cucumber salad served on the side was fresh, crisp and delightful, consisting of freshly sliced and chopped cucumber, tomatoes and red pepper in a delicious dressing of Thai flavors. Next up was the Pork Pad Kra Pow Stir fry and this was also wonderful. The minced pork was tender, the rice was perfectly steamed and the side spring roll was a treat to my taste buds. The complex flavors in the Pad Kra Pow were executed flawlessly and stimulated my palate as only correctly prepared Thai food can. Moving on to the final item to be tasted on this foray into the sea of Thai/Japanese combo places, I direct your attention to the Lobster Roll. First, please take a peek at the picture of said roll. It is certainly a work of art to the discerning eye. With krab inside, fresh tuna on top and a wonderful spicy sauce drizzled to top it off, it looked far better than it tasted. I am fairly sure I got the last Lobster tail in the freezer as it came off slightly freezer-burned. If it weren't for that tiny, albeit important detail, this would have been a 5-star meal. The Big Boy says, “In a pool with a myriad of choices for Thai/Japanese places to dine, make a point to visit this one.”

First time here! Will not be the last! New owners since May 2023. Family owned and operated. Mom in the kitchen. Son is the sushi chef and his wife covers all the other needs. Started with delicious light and crispy Thai Spring Roll accompanied by cold Singha beer. We put our destiny in the hands of the sushi chef and asked him to prepare his choice. Omakase is not on the menu, but they were happy to accommodate our request. We were presented with a spectacular roll with avocado outside and shrimp inside.. WOW! Wonderful Octopus and cucumber salad... Savory wonton soup. All tasted fresh and hand made with love.... Next time we will go for the Thai side of the menu!

The food and sushi was phenomenal. No issues whatsoever. Very impressed with the shrimp pad Thai and the bento box was a gorgeous a and delicious work of art.

Everything is absolutely delicious! The Pad woon den is to die for! The fried rice is cooked perfect. Also the sushi is very fresh.

Intimate seating with extremely friendly help. The Sushi is excellent and everyone here is from Thailand so their curry rocks. The red curry Duck is exceptional. Our entire family favorite restaurant.
