If you’re in Hamden and looking for good Japanese and Korean-style food, definitely swing by Donburiya Cafe and grab a bite. Highly recommend!“

“Came here with a family member and did the AYCE for $31.99. I ordered 3 sushi rolls, 3 appetizers, a salad, fried rice, and chicken katsu. I really enjoyed all my food and the staff were constantly checking in to see if there was anything I needed. The value for the price seems to be good if you are ordering a decent amount of dishes.

One thing to note is that they handed me another AYCE ordering sheet only after I finished the first round of food. Also, make sure to not over order as it seems that doing so can incur a charge if you don’t finish your food. However, I left a few small pieces of sushi but ate everything else and was not charged. This is a great spot if you’re hungry.“

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

“Excellent experience at Japanica. The service is outstanding — the staff is always friendly, helpful, and welcoming with a smile.
When ordering online, the wait time is very short; most of the time my order is already ready when I arrive to pick it up, which is super convenient.
Prices are very affordable, making it a great option for lunch on a regular basis. Their lunch specials are delicious, well-priced, and the portion size is perfect for one person with a normal appetite.
Highly recommended for great food, fast service, and excellent customer care.“

“Its sad that Rock Fish is takeout only now. It remains outstanding and fairly priced, but they really had the best omakase around with steep competition. I don’t think you can beat it for take out sushi. Find me another place that gives you real wasabi for instance. My go to spot when I’m craving some comfort food.“

“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 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.“
