“My friend recommended getting AYCE sushi here for $29.99 - and it was worth it! They have all the options you would expect and more. Wonderful staff, they were very accommodating. Service was great as well, our food came out fast despite it being the dinner rush. Will definitely be coming back to Koi Sushi!“

“Took a gamble and tried a new place, absolutely blown away! The food was incredibly delicious with fresh and unique flavor, the scallops, black cod , and Brussels sprouts were out favorites but all the food was amazing (vegetable agedashi and clams). We did the premium sake flight which was also so good, the yuzu one was the best I've ever had. The service was also incredible, our server (Dang Thanh) was so friendly and had the best recommendations. 100% recommend this place!“

“Delicious! Just had my first meal here. Beautiful decor, kind people, and really good food. Excited to go back!“

“This is a cute little place with great sushi and great service. They were very welcoming and fun and the sushi, especially the tuna scallion roll, was very good.

Dietary restrictions: There are gluten free items

Parking: I found a spot but it appeared to be the last one.

Kid-friendliness: It’s a good place for well behaved children.“

“The staff is so sweet, the atmosphere is sophisticated for an AYCE, and the food is simply divine! I really prefer the airy and light peaceful interior here compared to other dingy and dark AYCE places. There’s nothing better than peacefully sipping hot green tea during lunchtime. Something small would be replacing the black window blinds with some nice light curtains. But high quality fresh sushi and sashimi should be the main focus“

“The food is super tasty and the service is very nice.“

“We ordered takeout for the 1st time. Delicious all around! Very impressed. Can’t wait to visit and eat in the restaurant soon!“

“My husband and I go every Saturday for lunch. Manny and the staff are excellent and the food is so good. Definitely worth stopping in and trying.“

“If you love great food, excellent service, and a trendy atmosphere, this restaurant is a must-visit. Our son, who’s a huge fan of noodles, insisted we try this place while we were in town, and it did not disappoint. The service was exceptional, truly going above and beyond.

To start, we ordered the KFC Bao buns and the red oil dumplings. The Bao buns were delightfully soft with crispy chicken, while the red oil dumplings were generously filled with meat and came with an excellent sauce. For the main course, our son enjoyed the Pho Bo Vien, which was said to be delicious, packed with plenty of meat and veggies.

Overall, it was a memorable dining experience that we’d highly recommend!“

“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!“

“I had a great experience at the YAMASAKI TERIYAKI. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure my order was just right. The portions were ?? , and everything tasted fresh and flavorful. The restaurant was clean and well-maintained, which added to the overall positive experience. My only small complaint is that the line can get a bit long during peak hours, but it's worth the wait for the quality of food you get. I'll definitely be coming back!“

“it was very delicious people are very nice“

“Sonobana is a standout among the myriad of sushi restaurants in the greater New Haven area. Not everyone can make it to New York or Boston for decent sushi restaurants. This is where Sonobana comes to the rescue. The interior is very tastefully decorated without the garish photos of sushi dishes or the marker board advertising specials. The dishes are of very high quality and taste. The staff are very friendly and helpful. If you're a fan of Japanese cuisine then definitely take the time to visit!“

“Had an enjoyable time having dinner with friends. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. The chef was engaging and funny. His preparation was a highlight of the dining experience. The atmosphere was nice and I noticed other patrons seemed to enjoy themselves as well. I would recommend Sakura Garden for a pleasant dining experience.“

“First time here at a friend's recommendation. I've been looking for a Japanese restaurant and enjoyed the food a lot. We got beef and salmon teriyaki lunch specials. I got salad, friend had miso soup. Appetizers were salmon avocado Maki roll and Katsu. The Maki roll was creamy fresh. Katsu was very crispy outside, flaky inside. Both teriyaki dishes were delicious. I'll be back.“

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

“Great variety! But some dishes(sushi prominently) felt stale. To be clear, we didn't go near the closing time.
Servers are especially good, nothing like any other buffet place.
