“Fogama provides seriously delicious Japanese dishes, that are expertly created from a vast and varied menu. Every dish was enjoyable and appreciated. Service was great when we first arrived, but then lacked on a very busy Friday evening. We will definitely return.“

“Open Rice Poke Bowl is one of my favorite spots in Stamford! The food is always fresh, delicious, and consistently good. I love that the menu offers a variety of options, so there’s truly something for everyone.

Favorites from there are the Thai Curry Noodle Soup, Hibachi, Mongolian beef, pineapple pork fried rice, szechuan dumplings, sushi is very fresh as well! Highly recommend!“

“Attentive friendly staff and delicious food. Amazing combination will definitely frequent while in Greenwich.“

“We are new to the area & wanted to find our "go-to" Chinese food delivery place. We ordered Fuji recently. So delicious! We will be ordering from Fuji from now on. EXCELLENT! Thank you. Delivery was great! :)“

“My husband and I went there for lunch on Tuesday, only one table was taken besides us , we ordered tempura , pai Thai , and a lunch special shushi and sashimi. Food came in 10 minutes was delicious ! Highly recommended ! The only reason I gave 4 stars for atmosphere is because it’s a small place , I’m not sure when it get busy ——,
Service was great !“

“Excellent Sushi 🍣 so fresh, amazing Thai been going there for over 11 years. You will not be disappointed. It's family-owned. It's more than just Sushi it has Thai,Seafood, Curry and of course freshest Sushi around! xopuma“

“Excellent! Everything is always amazing! Great friendly staff. I live down the street and they remember my preferences and are overly accommodating.“

“Good food, very consistent quality and service“

“Little Tokyo is a 10/10 experience! As someone who has gone for over 10 years and taken friends here many times, they all appreciate the quality and options available in such a hole in the wall spot.

Henry seems to get a lot of reviews complaining about his service, calling him aggressive or rude. This is simply not the case- it is a difference in culture and dialect that is misinterpreted. Henry know every regular he has and treats them like friends! If you expect someone to wait on you hand and foot... this is not the spot. If you want high quality, well priced, sushi then Little Tokyo is the place to go.“

“It is clean, balanced portions of food, I had the combo shrimp & filet mignon steak, very good at reasonable $, I think it's ,the best combo! including miso soup & choice of ice cream,I had Pistachios with marischino cherries. overall great 👍 thumbs up!“

“love this place ❤️, will recommend, food is great and the staff well maintained“

“The food was delicious, service was great too! Really good drinks 🍹“

“Tutto molto buono e posto gradevole“

“Great food and great service.“

“I was a little hesitant because the reviews were mixed, but honestly really enjoyed my experience! Although it was busy (on a Tuesday night!) , the wait time to get a table was not long. We got AYCE sushi for only $30/ person!! The fish was fresh (the salmon sashimi was incredible quality) and great options. The service was okay, but hey, they were busy so I always give them grace. Will 100% be going back.“

“First time trying Buddha takeout the crispy orange chicken was delicious had the perfect balance of tanginess and sweetness this will be my To go spot for takeout from now on! Edamame is just edamame but the moment I opened the lid for the crispy orange chicken the smell was so aromatic !“

“If you’re looking for an honest experience at Abis Restaurant, I suggest getting the experience firsthand. I’ve been there myself, and my experience was completely real — in the best way.

From the moment you walk in, everyone is welcoming, attentive, and kind. You can tell they care about the guests, not just about “doing their job.” Service felt warm, not forced — the kind where you feel comfortable asking questions and taking your time.

The food is where Abis really shines. Every dish we had was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. You can taste the quality and the care in the preparation. The menu offers comfort and creativity at the same time, which isn’t easy to pull off. Nothing felt rushed or careless — it felt like food made by people who take pride in what they serve.

The hibachi experience is a highlight all on its own. The chef didn't just cook- he put on a full show. It was fun, interactive, and entertaining without taking away from the quality of the food. Watching the precision, energy, and skill on the grill while the flames go up adds such a great atmosphere to the meal. And the food coming off the grill? Perfectly seasoned, cooked just right, and served hot and fresh.

Of course, Chef Angelo deserves recognition for the passion and leadership that clearly comes from the kitchen. But it’s also important to acknowledge the other hibachi chefs working that same day. Watching them cook for other tables, you could see the same level of talent, focus, and passion in their performances. It’s clear that the quality and showmanship at Abis isn’t just one person — it’s a team of skilled chefs who truly care about their craft.

And Jay, the owner, deserves recognition too. It’s rare to see an owner so present and involved. You can tell he truly values both his customers and his team, which says a lot about the heart behind this place.

Overall, Abi’s isn’t just a restaurant — it’s a place where hospitality, experience, and quality matter. I’ll definitely be coming back and would encourage others to experience it for themselves.“

“I finally got to try this restaurant after the shut down of Ichiban and I was not disappointed, the chicken teriyaki has a more soy taste to it than sweet which I didn’t mind from Ichiban. The chicken teriyaki was delicious but the only critic I have is, for the extra portions of meat or shrimp plating it better in the tray because the sauce was dripped all over the place. Other than the plating critic, that’s all I have to say, good job and Welcome!

Kid-friendliness: EA Teriyaki is inside of the mall, come on in and bring the kids with you!“

“I’ve been coming to this place since I was a kid — I’m 31 now and still just as in love with it as ever. We even stopped by recently with the family right before a snowstorm, and it reminded me why this spot has always been special.

It’s a family business, and you can feel it. The owners and employees are super friendly, welcoming, and consistent. I first came here when I was 6 years old, and 25 years later, the flavor still impresses just as much.

That kind of consistency over decades is rare. A true classic that never disappoints.“

“Eat in or take out the food is always great! Order food to pick up and it is always ready! Friend workers, doesn’t get any better than that 👍“

“I generally like the food here, I have tried their general tso's chicken, pad thai, scallion pancakes, pork fried dumplings and various sushi dishes which were all quite good. Not a top restaurant but definitely a decent pick and not insanely expensive considering the area it is in. There usually arent that many people eating there if you like a relatively quiet dining experience but I also rated it a 3 for atmosphere as it isn't very lively. Good service, 4 stars for me overall.“
