“This was my first time trying a Poké bowl and it did not disappoint. It was very refreshing, especially on this warmer than normal March afternoon. Since it was my first time, I decided to create a build your own bowl and incorporate ingredients that I'm used to. The topper was their special sauces. I added shrimp, which were deveined, corn, fresh jalapeño, and a mix of rice and greens. For a surcharge you can also add avocado and kimchi, which I did. Everything blended together so well. The bowl was nice and satisfying. I definitely see myself returning throughout the summer, especially when I want a salad experience but a tad elevated. Parking is a bit tricky over there. But I went on a Thursday afternoon. The establishment was nice and clean. Bright and open. They had a few stool seats at a countertop. I believe they have Boba tea, but I'll try one the next time. There will most certainly be a next time!“

“SO GOOD! THIS PLACE NEEDS MORE HYPE!! I don't usually leave reviews, but I knew i had to after I came here. Service was amazing, food came very quickly, and it was all delicious!! Was not expensive either. Green tea ice cream, pork gyoza, and pad thai are a MUST TRY!! For those who have allergies, the waitress made sure to inform me that my pad thai had peanuts before I ordered it. Super considerate- definitely recommend.“

Service was superb. We used to regulars but hadn't been since the pandemic. One of the finest dining experiences in New Haven!“

“My friends wanted to meet up and had picked out this ramen spot. I ordered the spicy beef ramen with marinated egg, and a bowl of edamame... both were superb.I didn't take a picture of the edamame, but it was prepared very well and had a wonderful taste. Seemed like it was pan cooked with soy sauce and garlic maybe. Either way, it was very good, and I enjoyed my ramen as well.Nice little spot that was a pleasant surprise. The edamame alone would have me return and try a different entree and maybe some sake in a beaker, in the future.“

Yamasaki Teriyaki Japanese • $
9 Dixwell Ave, New Haven

“The bento boxes, miso soup, and Dragon Rolls are very good. The only reason why I can't give this place 5 stars is because this isn't authentic Japanese. The people in the back making the food aren't Japanese and I can tell because I can hear them speaking and I know Japanese well enough to be able to tell it apart from the other Asian languages. Also their clerk is an Indian lady. Takumi in Branford is hands down more authentic as everyone there is actually Japanese.“
