I’ll join the chorus here. Very sad to see Garlic leave. It was a regular take-out spot for us, and the only place in town that my in-laws would eat (it’s their problem, not ours Decatur!).

Agreed. Growing up in California in the SF bay, we never had these types of places. It was one or the other. Never both.

Seems to me that a lot of the Thai/Sushi joints are owned by Chinese.

Guess we’ll have to give Green Ginger another chance. Went there once and was NOT impressed.

Just out of curiosity, can someone explain the whole Thai + sushi thing to me? It’s such a weird cherry picking of (wholly unrelated) Asian cuisines. And yet, as has been said, there’s enough of them around now that it’s become it’s own thing. This despite the fact that I would not expect an establishment known for its sushi to have any ability to turn out Thai food of any quality, nor vice versa.

It’d be like me going out and starting a restaurant that specializes in ceviche and cheesesteaks. Does not compute.
