Chef Thai & Sushi

Chef Thai & Sushi can be hard to find as it is tucked into the back corner of its shopping center on South Dale Mabry. Inside is relatively dark because of the black film on the windows. At my booth it looked as though the walls hadn't been cleaned in quite a while, spattered with food. I started with the fried egg roll ($3.95). They served six egg rolls instead of the five reported on the menu, kind of like a bonus roll (they did it for everyone). The round crunchy rolls had good texture but not much more. It lacked taste and the uniformity of the size makes me think that they are either store-bought or machine-made.
For an entree I had the Amazing Chicken ($7.95). They describe it as steamed broccoli topped with chicken and peanut sauce. There wasn't much broccoli, but what was there was steamed to an appropriate al dente crunch. The rest of the dish was drowned and overwhelmed by what tasted like sweet peanut butter. There was an abundant amount of chicken but I couldn't taste it through the sweet thick peanut sauce. Adding soy sauce helped a little but there's no compensating for the strong sweet peanut butter taste. I would rate the food and cleanliness one star, but they get some points for ambience with jazzy piano music and a cool fish tank. The service was fast and friendly. Parking can be a challenge on busier days as they compete with more than a dozen other shops for spots.
