“I live in South Windsor and have been from time to time trying to find a nice Chinese restaurant that my wife and our girls can have as our resident restaurant for take out on a Friday night. Searched tonight and decided to try here out and i am not disappointed one bit. Atmosphere is pretty decent, service and authenticity is great, also love the fact they have a Japanese area you can indulge in sushi and more. Food was excellent from my experience! This just might be our new resident take out restaurant for Chinese“

“The sushi here is fantastic, though it was a bit of a learning curve for our daughter! She wasn't a fan of the sushi texture but loved the hibachi. It’s a great place to introduce kids to new foods with their bento box options. Highly recommend the food, but the seating is a little uncomfortable, so takeout is the way to go.“

“I have been to this restaurant soo many times i cant count them on my fingers. This restaurant has been an eye opener for delicious korean food and has set a standard for what to expect from other businesses.

Over the course of 15 years i have had everything on the menu and i can attest that this is some of the best if not THE best place to get korean food that isnt your typical KBBQ.

The yuk hye jiang and all of the stews are amazing. I moved futlrther away otherwise i would be there all the time like i used to but i often ordsr the bossam and it is immaculate. Everything you would want for that dish which i will mention, almost no other places in CT do on a regular basis.

Lets keep this place busy and open, it is such an amazing institution, and the servers and chefs are a delight whenever you are there.“

“I ordered take out for delivery it's nice the fee is so small I'm used to a lot of extra charges on delivery. The person taking my order was thorough and answered my questions. The delivery person communicated well and the sushi was on point soft bouncy texture fresh and flavorful loved it“

“Not sure if a new owner took over, but ordered via Uber eats 7/1/2025.

The bowl brings me back memories of when I first had a pokebowl.

The portions were generous, and all the mix-ins and proteins were thoroughly mixed with the sauces instead of the past few times where they just squirted sauces on top.

I would have to say if this is not under ownership, whoever made my bowl around 12:45pm on 7/1/25 should get a well deserved praise.

I have given up on Pokemoto on middletown and decided to order here on a whim but pleasantly surprised the change in quality (for good)

Definitely ordering more if this is the new standard.“

“I had an outstanding experience at Teriyaki Madness in West Hartford thanks to the amazing night staff on 5/29/25! Kirsten who goes by Kris, took my order, was exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. She made great recommendations and ensured I felt comfortable with my choices because my first option was sold out for the day! Brendon was equally impressive! His charm and respectfulness shone through as he assisted Kirsten by handing out the orders and keeping the dining area clean. I arrived just before closing, but both Kirsten and Brendon maintained their enthusiasm and were eager to serve me. Their teamwork made the experience even more enjoyable, and I truly appreciated their dedication to excellent customer service. I couldn’t have asked for a better dinner pit stop after a long day of work! Thank you, Kirsten and Brendon, for making my first visit memorable!“

“My boyfriend and I tried Poke Sushi in Vernon tonight! We ordered the California roll, the veggie roll, and the shrimp tempura roll with mango added. The rolls were made immediately as we started paying for our food. It was neat to watch them being made. When we sat down to eat; they were amazing! The ingredients were VERY fresh! Absolutely delicious! Highly recommend!!! We scarfed down the rolls and forgot to take a picture 😂“
