Who’s Got The Best Sushi In Winston-Salem In 2022?

Sushi has been hit or miss in Winston-Salem over the years.

There are a couple dedicated sushi restaurants as well as Japanese restaurants that offer sushi on the menu. We’ll let you try them out and would welcome your feedback as to which ones you liked (and which ones you didn’t)!

Best Chinese Food In Winston-Salem (2022): Restaurants, Buffets & More

While there’s plenty of street-style Chinese food (think of the restaurants typically found in strip malls) Winston-Salem lacks high-end Chinese dining. That being said, there’s some hidden gems that deliver some really tasty dishes. And if you’re into P.F. Chang’s, we’ve got one of those too.

Best Thai Restaurants In Winston-Salem

Personally, I am a huge Thai food fan. Ever since my backpacking trip through the country in 2001 I’ve been hooked on their tasty cuisine, with a particular propensity for curries. When I first moved to Winston in 2004 I immediately went on the search for good Thai food. The best (and most affordable at the time) was Downtown Thai. I’m not saying it’s not the best anymore (it’s definitely not the most affordable anymore), but you’ve got a lot more options now.

Whatever the reason, I’m thrilled the trend is growing here in Winston-Salem. Here is a list of our favorite food trucks rolling around town!
