^In San Francisco, most of the Thais you encounter are Chinese Thai, like 90%. Same goes for Malaysian restaurants (Chinese Malaysian), and Indonesian.

How do I know? Because even in grocery stores, whenever I hear Thais speak, they have an accent and they mostly buy Tofu. There's this one asian grocery store that I go to called May Wah and I always see "Thais" shopping and buying a whole bunch of tofu.....hmmm.....

You're right. A good portion of Thais are actually Chinese-Thais. The 38 year old Thai lesbian who overstayed her visa living with one of my brother is Chinese-Thai.

The other portion of Thais are Thai-Issan. I met quite a few of them. Then there's the Real Thai(Siamese that is) here and there.

How do you know the sushi over there doesn't actually contain some Thai elements? Even if it didn't, if people are dumb enough to believe it, than good for the owner for figuring out a good gimmick. Obviously authenticity and tradition wasn't his priority.

But now Lanxan is going to troll saying that Thai people are claiming sushi.

Jek Thai are promoting sushi as their, 100 years from now, they'll say, it's a shared culture.

Just shut the fuk up already, retard. How obvious does it have to be for you to realize the Thai are claiming other culture's food as "Thai". Pull your head out of the Thai A/S/S for once would you.

^Found their website:

and their "Sushi" menu

http://www.moodsf.com/pdfs/Su$hitogo0109.pdfand Sushi menu.....

Honestly though, they should have just called it "Thai and Sushi" instead of Thai Sushi and more.....the Sushi is considered as one of the "more" options...but why just put it as "Thai Sushi" if the Sushi side of the menu doesn't have any so called "Thai" influence to begin with?

^okay.....here's what the deal is:

MOST PEOPLE (not just Lanxan but other people from all nationalities) DO Think that it's silly, because there is no such thing as "Thai Sushi"

BUT at the same time, the restaurant owners needed to bring in more customers! With all of the BETTER options at Fisherman's Wharf to choose from....of course the owners got desperate. For the owners it was a "business decision"....for the general population, the title and claim of "Thai Sushi" is just wrong. However, both parties can believe in whatever they want to believe in.

Despite it being "morally wrong" for the owners to do that......they are just desperate to stay in business. With all of the junk that sucks tourists in, they realized that offering "lighter and healthier" dishes would entice tourists to come in! You know what? It seemed to work for them.


On a side note...they should still just make the effort and revise their restaurant and call it "Mood Thai and Sushi " or "Mood Thai, Sushi, and More"

That's what I been trying to say all along, especially when it comes to our own Lao culture. Why can't the Thais realize that its wrong to claim another culture as their "own".

I wonder what the Japanese had to say about this though. The name of this resturant should have been rephrase as Moon restaurant, Thai and Japanese cuisine. But who cares, it's a free market. You can name your product what ever you want. I guess this owner wanted to market his "Thai" style of sushi, what ever floats his boat.

The slogan cleary states that this restaurant serves "Thai Sushi". The owner of this restaurant described those two words as a linguistic blend, meaning combining those two words blending them into one meaning.

I don't know about you but to me, that slogan claerly indicate that this restaurant serves "Thai Sushi".

I've seen many Thai restaurants in the SF Bay area go out of business, so I'm not surprised that those Thai owners have decided to incorporate Sushi to make their restaurant more appealing to attract more customers..."Thai Sushi", anyone?...LOL!

This is what Khon Lao been trying tell people for years, especially me when it comes to the Thai trying to claim Lao culture/music/food, etc. as "Thai". And people call us, especially me a "Hater"(does Bounthy come to mind) for speaking the truth. And now the Thai are claiming a Japanese food as "Thai".

I think people are starting to realize where Lao members especially me are coming from after all these years. They're seeing the Thai for who they really are.

You are Lao who can read and write Thai. You know Lao and Thai don't use comma to separate words. You, native Lao, should not confused with that slogan in the first place. บักตอแหล embarassedlaugh.gif

I understand if some American Lao in US may be confused of this tight slogan cuz they expect perfect English. icon_smile.gif But if they are clever enough, just look at the neon sign at the front door. They would see "Best Thai food and Sushi". embarassedlaugh.gif

Thais also invented "Thai" chilies and our larb dish. LOL!

Thai sushi, Thai larb, Thai papaya salad, Thai sticky rice, Thai pizza, Thai spaghetti, Thai wontons, Thai dumplings, Thai egg rolls, Thai fresh rolls, and the list goes on and on...LOL!

For those people who live in the U.S., it's quite hillarious what kinds of dishes you'd find at Thai restaurants over here just so the owners could stay in business. Many of the Thai restaurants are nothing but poor immitations of Chinese, Lao, Malay, and Indian cuisines. Many people nowadays consider Thai cuisine in the U.S. as a copy-cat of Americanized Chinese cuisine...meaning that Thai cuisine has become so watered-down and generic that people are getting bored with it, which is why so many Thai restaurants in the SF Bay Area have gone out of business...either that, or the owners would sell their business to other people who don't know any better resulting in a Thai restaurant with a new name but the same crappy foods. It's a non-ending cycle of Thai restaurants constantly being under new ownership because only a few select Thai restaurants are capable of staying in business under the same ownership.

Some Thai restaurants nowadays are slapping on "Lao" to their name to bring in customers who are looking for Lao foods. But other Thai restaurants are slapping on "Sushi" to attract customers who want Japanese food...which makes you wonder is there really such a thing as authentic Thai cuisine? Why is it so easy for Thai restaurant owners to attach other cuisines and dishes to their "Thai" restaurant? Has Thai cuisine become that generic and played out? Especially nowadays, more and more people are looking for Malaysian or Indonesian cuisine because they're getting tired of the Satay skewers, Massaman, and Penang curries that are poorly immitated at Thai restaurants. They're now going to the true sources of those dishes. The popularity of Vietnamese cuisine is growing rapidly. Lao and Malayasian restaurants are also cropping up across the U.S. Westerners are now smarter and have become quite familiar with SE Asian cuisines so much so that the small samplings of SE Asian dishes at "Thai" restaurants are getting played out.

Try becoming world famous with just your own "Thai" foods instead of incorporating neighboring countries' dishes. icon_twisted.gif

At least Japanese food is Japanese food and Chinese food is Chinese food...Thai, on the other hand, is nothing but dishes taken from neighboring countries relabeled as "Thai". LOL!

The Thai been claiming Lao culture for years and promoting it to the world as "Thai". From food to music to Lao fabrics, you name it, the Thai will claim it.

That's because some Thais like to mislead the international community. Everyone and their mamas should know that the Khaen is a Laotian instrument, even if it's used in Thailand by Lao ethnics.

I'm glad you know the truth now. Contrary to the haters(Bounthy and his Thai buddies), my whole point of being here is to educate and let people know the truth. The Thais on this forum can't stand the fact that Lao members such as myself and others are letting the world know the truth. So what they do is paint us as "bad guys", "Lao trolls", whatever.
