Asian Fusion Restaurants near Uncasville

“Oriental Bar and Grill is tucked behind another building in Connecticut in a way that makes it genuinely easy to miss from the road. The exterior is intriguing, with waterfalls and small ponds with koi fish out front.

The interior is large and classically decorated, the kind of dining room that was built to handle volume without feeling like a cafeteria. The koi fish out front have a quarter machine nearby that dispenses food, which is a small detail that tends to land well if you are visiting with kids. The overall setup is comfortable and well maintained, and the space gives the restaurant a presence that most Chinese restaurants in the area do not match.

The dim sum is the main draw and it is served until 3pm, so timing your visit accordingly is important. The har gow and shumai are well executed and hold up against what you would find at comparable restaurants in Boston or New York. The chili oil is good and worth using liberally. The shrimp wonton noodle soup is a standout and worth ordering on its own. For those coming outside dim sum hours the full menu covers a solid range of Cantonese dishes. The fried rice, salt and pepper squid, fish filet in chili oil, and chow fun all perform well, and the portions throughout are generous enough that ordering with a group and sharing makes the most sense.

On quieter days the food quality is noticeably more consistent. For good dim sum in Connecticut and a Cantonese dining room that takes the food seriously, it is worth the effort of finding.“

“Some of the best picture perfect Chinese food I’ve ever had! The pork and shrimp wonton soup had actual homemade wontons and was very delicious. The general tso chicken was crispy and very flavorful the best I’ve ever had. Can’t wait to return. Side note the portions are massive and in turn the prices are a bit up there but you definitely get what you pay for so go with a group of people.“

“Make reservations!! This small but mighty gem had the best filet and sides I've had in recent memory. The bottle of wine I got to take home (restaurant week perk) was equally delicious. Our server was friendly and the food came out quickly. My partner had the chicken piccatta and raved about it. Can't wait to go back!“

“I took my wife and kids there for my wife's birthday. Worst experience we've ever had at a hibachi. Extremely over priced to start with. The cooking part was awful. There was no vegetable toss even though they were prepared and ready on the cart. The cook also did not do the sake part or offer water for the kids. The food had a very bland taste to it . The server never even checked on us we had to get their attention to get a glass of water. My wife was extremely disappointed and so we're our kids. I asked to speak with the manager, and was told our chef was the manager. Overall it was a very disappointing experience and would not recommend.“
