25 Best Sushi Bars near Branford

“My friends have been recommending this place for a long time. Tonight, I finally got here. Salmon Avocado roll, Maguro & Hamachi. The white rice wasn't hard & sticky like some sushi restaurants. This rice was soft but didn't fall apart. I like that. Just because I knew I'd be too full if I ordered a dinner, I got some appetizers to try: spring rolls & fried pork dumplings - both light & crunchy. Dipping sauces had a nice subtle taste; not vinegary. Very good. You wouldn't know it from the outside but the inside is attractive, the sushi bar is great, and it's busy with regulars. I think I'll become a regular, too.“

“Food was delicious & staff was friendly, prompt. They went above and beyond.“

“This place is amazing our weekly dinner spot. Awesome staff the girls are the best and always friendly“

“it was very delicious people are very nice“

“Great mom and pop poke, sushi, boba, teriyaki and more! Food is consistently good and they have a great variety of items to choose from. We always get ours to-go, but the restaurant has a decent amount of inside tables to eat that are clean. Nice cool air conditioning for a hot day. They also have tables outside. Our go-to spot for poke in Hamden.“

“Hands down the best Sushi I’ve EVER had in 40+ years. Can’t wait to go back. 👌“

“We’ve visited Sushi Palace twice now, and each time has been great! It’s actually the first place we ever tried all you can eat sushi, and we still think their quality is some of the best. They don’t overload the rice on the rolls, and the fish is always fresh. Prices are very reasonable, and there’s something for everyone on the menu. Definitely in our rotation of good all you can eat sushi spots!“

“OMG! An authentic Japanese sushi restaurant with a fantastic atmosphere and delicious choices. Extensive sake menu. Prices are reasonable considering you're paying for high quality sushi. I've eaten high quality sushi in Japan and this restaurant is on par if not better. I recommend getting reservations because of limited seating and high demand. Give it a try you won't regret it!“

“SonoBana is by far the best Sushi here in CT. The absolute freshness ingredients at all times. The friendly staff goes over and beyond to make you feel welcome. We’ve been coming to SonoBana for years. High Recommend!!“

“Allie and staff were amazing. They were patient with me since I had a large order their energy was great and overall they are a great asset to the Guilford team I have gone to many other locations and have yet to receive the type of service that they have provided“

“Normally the service and food is phenomenal! I’ve been coming to Kumo for about 20 years now I’ve never had anything less than A plus service and meals before today. The drinks were forgotten and had to be asked for we didn’t receive them until we were finished with our appetizers. We were missing a place setting that also had to be requested a second time. The chef mistakenly started to cook seafood before the beef and poultry and we had a seafood allergy at our table. The food was poorly seasoned and poorly cooked. My shrimp were not clean they still had poop in them. Tonight was very disappointing!“

“Delicious, fresh flavorful food. Nice atmosphere. Very attentive staff. Many different choices on the menu. Highly recommend!!“

“Great fresh food, relaxed atmosphere and good value.“

“I recommend everything! My first time there and my experience was out of this world! Incredible food amazing atmosphere and very friendly service. I wasn’t sure what I wanted so they recommended something based on what I told them I liked and they were correct about it! I highly recommend this might be the only sushi place I will go to from now on!! Thank you for such a great experience!“

“Anaya sushi is the old York Street Noodle House!!!! The sushi was just ok but the Spicy wok basil noodles were exactly as I remember them! The service was ok, no problems, one roll took a long time to come and once we got our food we did not see a server for a while. Would go back for noodles!“

“Tiger Daddy was an absolute delight! The food was truly exceptional - every bite was bursting with flavor. I was particularly impressed by the perfect balance of tastes and textures in each dish. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and the service was top-notch. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience. I'll definitely be coming back for more!

“Fantastic food, friendly staff and cute dining area. Five stars!“

“Koi Sushi offers a satisfying all-you-can-eat experience, with an expansive menu full of delicious and well-executed dishes. The chefs demonstrate a high level of skill in preparing the sushi, sashimi, and other Japanese fare, ensuring each dish is fresh, flavorful, and meticulously crafted. The variety on the menu is impressive, allowing guests to explore a broad range of dishes, all prepared with care and precision.

However, the ambiance at Koi Sushi is simple and functional, with little to distinguish it beyond its practical design. The temperature in the winter months can also fall just below comfort level, which may leave some diners feeling less than fully at ease. The music played is Chinese in origin, which is an unexpected touch for a Japanese restaurant and might not align with the traditional atmosphere one might anticipate.

The service, while efficient, falls short in terms of warmth. The staff, while professional, often appear serious and somewhat disengaged, which affects the overall atmosphere. A more personable and welcoming approach would elevate the service and contribute to a more pleasant dining experience.

Despite these elements, the food at Koi Sushi remains the standout. It is clear that the kitchen prioritizes quality and consistency, making this an ideal choice for those seeking a diverse range of well-prepared dishes.“
