“Locals rave about this restaurant and for good reason - the sashimi is succulent and fresh, Japanese delicacies such as uni are surprisingly well chosen and the sake flights of course are outstanding. Only quibble is it really does feel like an aged, not well kept Western bar inside“

“Went to Jerry’s last night and I was soooo full because it was sooo delicious I had to come home and get into bed! The salmon is like butta in your mouth! The tuna firm and soft at the same time… and the eel… OMG… hadn’t been there in a long time and it was excellent!!! Fresh & delicious, go and enjoy!“

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

“Our family’s go-to ramen and kimbap stop. We were so happy to see any sort of Korean food option in North Haven. This store is a cozy, seriously adorable operation if you want to dine in, and the food is delicious either way. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Do use their app! The prices come out the same or cheaper and Uber doesn’t siphon off all their margin.“

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

“Incredible sushi, the food is so good and the staff is so kind. This is the best all you can eat sushi I’ve experienced. We can’t wait to come back for more!“

“Came here for lunch takeout. Lots of options for pre-made chirashi, onigiri and futomaki. I appreciated the hot food options made to order. We ordered beef gyudon ($14) and mackerel ($15). Although the wait for my food was a little long, I enjoyed the mackerel which was meaty and came with rice and miso soup. The matcha latte was decent too.“

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

“I came here simply because I Googled Chinese food in Wallingford and looked for the best reviews. Well Diner’s Haven did not disappoint!! The best friend dumplings I have ever had and their Pad Thai was amazing. I’m coming back with my family next time!!“

“Very attentive staff! Ate the Nage Yuki Udon! Excellent soup! Teriyaki chicken has a lite sauce with rice. Very tasty. Maki rolls well made and fresh! If you live local or are visiting like us... give this restaurant a try!“

“I visited the Cajun Crab in Wallingford Ct and let me tell you… as soon as you walk in you get smacked with this amazing aroma of seafood. The inside of the restaurant is beautiful. They have tables for you to dine in. The food alone was thebomb.com. I got an order of 1/2lb shrimp 1/2lb crab legs Lobster tail potatoes corn and I ordered extra eggs with the butter garlic sauce. Let’s just say me and my husband tore it up. It was sooooo good and I highly recommend it. I paid about 45$-50$ because I ordered more boiled eggs but it’s worth every dollar“

“This place was so good!

I came here with my family for my sisters graduation from high school, and it was honestly one of the best experience I had!

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

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

“Pork fried rice and orange 🍊 chicken ,beef teryaki and its price right, excellent fresh hot The people that waited on me where so courteous with me and my Walker they bring it out to the car they held the door this place is really nice and atmosphere too So if you are disabled with a Walker or wheelchair it is a must go to Asian cuisine check it out“

“The Spicy Miso 2.0 was really good at first. The broth was super rich and flavorful, but toward the end, it started to feel a little too heavy and had a slight bitterness to it. The pork belly was also a bit greasy. I think it would be better if it were cooked a little longer so more of the fat could render out.

I also really liked the tendon and tripe in the pho. The tendon was super soft, tender, and pleasantly gelatinous. The beef meatball was another highlight. It had a really strong garlic aroma.“

“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!!“

“best sushi in ct! amazing food and wonderful family owned business!“

“Just had dinner at Sakana. The food and drinks are always delicious, fresh, and fast! Our waitresss was also amazing - very thoughtful, anticipating needs without needing to be asked and so kind to our kiddo- even giving some kids chopsticks to take home. Highly recommend if you haven’t been already!“

“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!“

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

“The food was excellent. I ordered the teriyaki chicken with all vegetables plus additional vegetables. I ordered two one with shrimp I did not realize all vegetables was just cabbage and the additional stem vegetables was broccoli. They have a small order of sautéed vegetables realizing I should have ordered that instead and the second ordered had no shrimp. I ordered through grubhub because I was at work. I have eaten inside many times first time ordering through grubhub.“

“it was my second time there I went there with a friend previously and I ordered what she got so this time I basically had no clue what to get so the waitress was very polite and very helpful recommended a lot of different food not only did the food come out quick very hot it was amazingly delicious as well I would highly recommend this to anybody especially sushi lovers they also have a hibachi as well I ordered the drunken noodles with beef and two sushi rolls to go definitely will be back thank you for the great service 🙏🏽💪🏽💯“

“I went to a Teriyaki Madness restaurant in Handen for the first time yesterday and it was a great experience. The food was delicious, healthy and fresh, and the best part was the service. The attendants, Chelsea, Amaya and Jenaya were simply wonderful. They helped us choose the best deal and order, and they were extremely friendly throughout the whole process. My family and I loved it and we will definitely recommend it.“

“i was placed a takeout order lunch specials,the price was inexpensive and the service was very nice ,i was so happy about that.will keep ordering with them.“

“great food good drinks friendly staff“

“I messed up. I asked for my money back on the idea that I did not receive an order I clearly made correct but I thought was wrong. So I e had sushi in the past. This is not my first rodeo. 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!“

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

“The wait staff was very accommodating to last minute changes to our unexpected party size that increased gradually throughout the night. The waiter was a very kind man and I wish I had more than 5 dollars cash in my wallet to tip him for the outstanding customer service he provided and accomodations. If he is reading this, when I plan to go again you will receive a larger tip. Apologies again for any inconveniences we had caused.“
