Our Culinary Philosophy
At Taiyo Thai & Sushi, we believe every dish tells a story. From the centuries-old traditions of Japanese sushi craftsmanship to the vibrant street food culture of Thailand, we honor authentic techniques while creating memorable experiences for our Port St Lucie community.
"Food is not just nourishment—it's culture, history, and love served on a plate."
Stories Behind Our Signatures
The Taiyo Special Roll
Named after our restaurant, this roll represents the fusion of East and West that defines modern sushi. Created by our head chef after months of experimentation, it combines the heat of spicy tuna with the coolness of fresh salmon and avocado.
The inspiration came from watching Florida sunsets—the warm orange tones of spicy mayo representing the setting sun, while the green avocado symbolizes the tropical landscape. Each bite tells the story of East Coast Florida meeting traditional Japanese technique.
Fun Fact: We use only Grade A tuna, sourced from trusted suppliers and prepared fresh daily

Perfected over generations
Authentic Pad Thai
Our Pad Thai recipe comes from the streets of Bangkok, passed down through three generations of Thai cooks. The secret lies in the balance of sweet tamarind, savory fish sauce, and the slight char from high-heat wok cooking.
Every morning, our chefs prepare the tamarind paste from scratch, soaking the pods and straining the liquid to achieve the perfect sweet-sour balance. The rice noodles are hand-selected for their texture, ensuring they maintain the ideal chewiness that defines great Pad Thai.
Traditional Technique: We use a carbon steel wok heated to over 1000°F for authentic "wok hei" flavor
Green Curry Tradition
Green curry, or "gaeng keow wan," represents the heart of central Thai cuisine. Our version stays true to traditional methods, grinding fresh herbs and spices by hand using a granite mortar and pestle.
The vibrant green color comes from fresh green chilies, Thai basil, and galangal—never from artificial coloring. We source our coconut milk from a family-run farm in Thailand, ensuring the rich, creamy consistency that makes this curry unforgettable.
Ancient Method: Each curry paste is hand-pounded for 20 minutes to achieve the proper texture

The Story of Our Ingredients
Fresh Fish Daily
Our fish arrives fresh every morning from trusted suppliers. Each piece is hand-selected by our sushi chef, ensuring only the highest quality makes it to your plate.
Premium Sushi Rice
We use authentic Japanese short-grain rice, seasoned with a traditional blend of rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Each grain is carefully prepared to achieve the perfect texture.
Thai Coconut Milk
Sourced directly from coconut farms in southern Thailand. The rich, creamy texture and natural sweetness elevate every curry and soup we serve.
Fresh Herbs
Thai basil, cilantro, and lemongrass arrive fresh weekly. We grow some herbs in our own garden, ensuring maximum freshness and flavor in every dish.
Traditional Techniques
Sushi Knife Skills
Our sushi chefs train for years to master the art of fish cutting. Using traditional Japanese knives, each cut is made with precision to preserve the fish's texture and natural flavors. The angle, pressure, and speed of each cut affects the final taste experience.

Wok Mastery
True Thai cooking requires intense heat and split-second timing. Our chefs control the flame and timing to achieve "wok hei"—the breath of the wok—that gives stir-fried dishes their distinctive smoky flavor that cannot be replicated at home.
Rice Preparation
Perfect sushi rice requires precise water ratios, careful timing, and proper cooling techniques. We follow a 400-year-old method, mixing the rice by hand while fanning it to achieve the ideal temperature and glossy finish.

Japanese Traditions
Japanese cuisine emphasizes seasonality, presentation, and respect for ingredients. Our approach honors these principles through careful sourcing, precise preparation, and mindful presentation of each dish.
The concept of "omotenashi" (wholehearted service) guides our hospitality, ensuring every guest feels welcomed and valued.
Thai Philosophy
Thai cooking balances five fundamental flavors: sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and spicy. Each dish achieves harmony among these elements, creating complex flavors that satisfy all the senses.
