THAI BASIL SUSHI II

Beautiful restaurant with great food. If you're looking for delicious vegan options they have lots and even some gluten free. The staff was very helpful and informative.

My fiance and I went to Surin for dinner for the first time yesterday and I was more than pleased with how great the staff and food was. I have SEVERE celiac disease and finding gluten free food at a restaurant where I dont have to worry about cross contamination is brutal. I had called all over Tuscaloosa looking for a sushi place that would be able to make a basic sushi roll gluten free and most places didnt even know what gluten free meant. I called Surin and the bartender answered the phone, immediately I knew I could trust their staff. He informed me that gloves, knives and sushi mats would be changed, stations washed down and plastic wrap would be put over the mats for extra precaution. He clearly knew what he was taking about when it came to gluten free food prep. When we got there the sushi chef, Reid, let us watch him make all my sushi and he was more than thorough cleaning his equipment. The sushi was presented beautifully and tasted delicious. I ordered two separate times during our dinner and both times he completely started from scratch with all his utensils and gloves. He told us he has been working at Surin for about 8 years and he knows how crucial it is to make sure food allergies are taken seriously. We will absolutely be back, and I can not thank the staff (especially Reid!) for being so accommodating and awesome!
