“I had an outstanding experience at this BYOB sushi spot! The food was exceptional, boasting fresh ingredients and delightful flavors. The service was top-notch, and Sharon, our server, elevated the dining experience with her attentiveness and friendly demeanor. Bring your favorite drink, and enjoy a fantastic meal with excellent service“

“Good sushi and sashimi. Good place“

“The hibachi was amazing! We also had sushi and fried calamari were scrumptious.“

“My husband and I did the table side omakase and overall, all the sushi was absolutely delicious! The only critique we have is for the dessert, which was green tea ice cream. We feel like for the price per person, the dessert should be a bit more elevated than ice cream that was most likely store bought. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who asked, but just give a heads up that the dessert may feel lacking.“

“BEST tuna dumplings & extremely fresh sushi 🍣 love this little gem 💎“

“The service, attentiveness, and genuine warmth from everyone in the restaurant instantly make you feel at home. There’s a clear level of care behind every detail, and it shows in everything that arrives at the table. Each dish feels thoughtfully prepared, and that kind of effort doesn’t go unnoticed - it just makes you happy to be there.“

“I was able to get a reservation for two, same day for 6pm at the bar area. We didn’t wait at all as there was bar seating. Our server was very friendly and knowledgeable of the menu and did not disappoint when asked for a recommendation. After many nigiri selections and a few hand rolls I would recommend the hamachi & scallion, bluefin tuna, and the spicy ora king salmon hand rolls. I had a favorite hand roll place before (KazuNori) but OKO amazed me and is now my favorite place for hand rolls. Presentation is taken seriously, as well as the craft that goes into the cuts of fish and I can tell the fish is very fresh. As for the sushi, I very much enjoyed every piece I ordered but my favorites were definitely the salmon belly and the smoked black cod. I definitely see myself returning and recommending OKO. Atmosphere and service were also very positive during my visit. This place is definitely a positive experience for me.
Things to keep in mind: their sushi/nigiri are smaller than your average sushi place but still a welcoming size. They take walk-ins but reservations seem to be highly recommended. OKO has high quality fish/ingredients so you will be paying a pretty penny.“

“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.“

“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 !“

“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!“

“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“

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

“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!“

“Such an amazing place for hibachi! Our chef and waitress were very accommodating with my special requests, making the entire dining experience enjoyable from start to finish. Hibachi dinner also came with clear soup and their Ginger salad was delicious,must try!
The steak was perfectly cooked, tender, and absolutely delicious.
They also have a full bar, which is a
great bonus!

Buddha has definitely become a new favorite, and we’ll be bringing our family back again soon. Highly recommend!“

“Tutto molto buono e posto gradevole“

“Great food and great service.“

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

“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 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.“

“Popped in to enjoy the ambiance at Kam Pei for dinner. They have more take out orders than dine in customers.

I enjoyed the hot & sour soup, it had lots of ingredients that you can identify. I like the light broth that compliments the other flavors.

The egg roll is light & crispy with a moist tasty inside to balance it out. I added chili 🌶 sauce to pep it up.

The Happy Family entree was really delicious! Tender beef, chicken & tasty shrimp pieces!

We shall return to explore their menu further. Thanks for the flavorful meal!“

“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.“

“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 👍“
