I love sushi. Since I do not eat red meat, chicken, turkey, pork...etc... I am often very limited in many restaurants. Some foods styles (BBQ as an example) offer little or nothing I can sink my teeth into. Happily many Sushi and Thai restaurants offer a great selection of options for those who eat only veggies as well as those who limit themselves to seafood. Nippon Thai is a Sushi/Thai restaurant that not only has a bunch of seafood offerings (as you would expect), they also offer tofu that can be substituted for animal proteins in many of their dishes. They have an extensive menu of sushi, rolls, sashimi, tempura, pad thai,  lunch specials and much more. They have an extensive lunch menu priced between $7 and $8...and the dinner menu is so extensive you will just need to read it  yo... 09/03/2013

South Patrick Shores is now the quickest commute from the beach to I-95 (almost always under 10 minutes). Homes in South Patrick Shores are a m... 07/31/2013
