“Delicious! I had the Mango Caliente sushi roll and OMG it didn't disappoint. My husband had the Mojarra Frita platillo and he really enjoyed it. I think we found our new sushi/mariscos place. The customer service was just as great as their food.“

“This was our first visit to Boonie Thai. We tried the green curry (with chicken) over brown rice. The food was surprisingly good. Topped off with Thai iced tea (and Thai tea with lime which was very refreshing!). The one dish, split between us, was more than enough food for two. The prices were fair and the service wonderful. The owner, Otis, took time to chat and made sure we were taken care of.\nCan't wait to return to try their Phat Thai!“

“The food was very good. However, the waitress brought me shrimp soup instead of Siete Mares Caldo. She gladly changed it for Siete Mares and when we were done eating the bill was like $69.00 I ask the waitress why and that it was wrong. She gladly corrected it and it came down to 61 and change. I wasn’t happy because I had added the food that we consumed and it was less than $60. I believe the owner saw me adding and noticed I wasn’t happy so he called the waitress and gave me the new bill for $56.00 I am telling the truth and that is why I gave this restaurant a 5 star because the owner did the right thing, after all said and done. Honesty does pay with good rewards. Thank you owner/manager, we appreciate your honesty and truthfulness. I will recommend everyone to eat here, for all the right reasons. Thank you“

“This is my favorite place for my sushi fix. I ALWAYS order the spicy salmon roll TEMPURA! I visit Xin Xin at least once a week. Last week I had a craving and ate there TWICE!! The food is fresh, tasty, and the portions are generous. The restaurant is always clean. However, I rate the service as THE BEST in my book. Regardless of who takes my order, the person is always knowledgeable about the menu and extras and pleasant to talk to. On a recent visit, the sushi master knew my order before I even placed it because I go there so much. That was a great feeling! I hope this business is around for many years and I am doing my part to ensure it!“

“This place was excellent! We had lengua, carnitas, al pastor, pescada and cameron (sp?) tacos, and all were phenomenal! I am a bit of a spice weenie so it was a bit out of my comfort zone, but nothing "Mas crema, por favor" could not solve. :) My husband, who has a higher spice tolerance, absolutely loved it! I highly recommend this place. The jamaica is really good, too. It was definitely a highlight of our trip to Santa Maria.“

“Each time I visit the Santa Maria area for work. I make it a point to eat here. I asked for a recommendation for a great Mexican restaurant while visiting the local Lowe’s. Everyone said to come here. I’ve never been disappointed. Great food and service. I was last there in August 2025. They were preparing over 600 tacos for a party. Never missed a beat for the customers dining in. Definitely recommend going there“
