    “Food was great. Decently priced for portions. The pickles on the black cod set were amazing. I don't know if it was just tonight but service is terrible. Our waitress, young black hair glasses, needs to be re-trained. She knew almost nothing about the menu. Couldn't answer our questions about sake, beer or make food recommendations. And for the duration of the meal we watched her meander around even though the staff was busy and there were things she could have been doing to help. Never checked in on us once during our meal. And could barely acknowledge other guests when they walked in the door. She seemed completely lost. The bartender seem to be frustrated and I can understand why but it kinda cast a bad vibe over the whole restaurant. The server who ran all our food was great and if I ever go again id ask to sit in her section. But for this type of restaurant and the prices I hope ownership would take training wait staff more seriously. Honestly would probably be happier just getting grab and go from loop next time.”

    Retail space at corner, 367 Orange Street, New Haven · 5.9 miles

    “The Loop is a compact Japanese grocery store with made-to-order food options and a large seating area. The grocery store itself was really fun, stocked with a lot of pre-made food and high-quality brands like Kettl and Kankitsu Labo. The food I got was just fine, but it’s not the store’s fault. They had plenty of delicious-looking bento and hot food as well. The thick-cut katsu sando tasted rather dry and needed the bite of karashi mustard. The miso banana pudding tasted kinda flat, but I’m not sure how to fix that as it had enough salt.”

It seemed obvious that the ingredients used were quality, which led to the best ramen bowls we've had in a while. We have enjoyed places like TigerBelly, and find this a great substitute in a different area of the state.”

    “The food and service were excellent! However, the plastic lids and coated paper boxes the food is served in does not work for me because it’s environmentally unsustainable. The amount of single-use plastics we go through for convenience is doing serious harm to the health of our planet and life on it. I think the food service industry (and customers) can do a lot to change that. I would also love to see some wild caught fish that is certified sustainable by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC)! I had a few questions about this and the chef was very kind to stop and answer them! The sushi was delicious— thank you!”

Problem is I had regular sushi which were hand rolled which I thought meant the same as “hand roll”. My apologies and biggest mistake ever! So just so everyone understands: hand rolled which is not cut into small pieces and look like a mini gyro funnel but stuffed with rice veggies and seafood meat. Regular roll is with the sushi tool and log rolled and then cut into pieces. I will definitely give this place another try and forgive me for what happened! It was ultimately very delicious and very fresh food! Thank you so much!”
