“I came here a few months ago with my boyfriend. We went on a Friday night and the wait wasn’t too long.
First, We received complimentary sides. My favorite was the kimchi. It was so good.
Then we ordered Korean Fried Chicken, Tteokbokki, and a pork dish (I don’t remember the name). Everything was so good!! We really liked the flavor of the Korean Fried Chicken. We’ve been to other Korean places and it seems like every place has their own unique flavor which we really like. I wish that the chicken had more meat on it, but the plating was aesthetically pleasing. The portions for everything were generous. Our meal also came with complimentary sushi. I don’t really care for sushi but it wasn’t bad at all. My boyfriend loved it.
The service was great. The staff was so kind to us and always made sure we had everything we needed.
Overall, we had a great experience and we would definitely come here again.”

“I’ve been meaning to come here for awhile now. I went last week with a friend, and it was amazing! Great food, great drinks, great service. Went back today with my parents. I had a slight issue with my order and they not only rectified it immediately, but went so far as to make it better. My parents loved everything they had, and we’re all looking forward to going back. Bonus: they’re actually open for lunch!”

“Walked into the shop with zero expectations just looking for a quick protein shake to hold me over and was completely blown away.
From the friendly and welcoming service to the extensive and delicious menu I was sold immediately.
And after drinking their chocolate peanut butter, low-calorie protein shake, they now have a permanent new client!
Highly recommend it, ENJOY!

“I've dined in an taken out! Great tacos! Al Pastor and chorizo are my fav! Last time I went though they gave me some gringo tacos ?! I was missing my double tortilla for what ever reason... but its ok! Horchata is amazing an its finally getting cold out side!!! Can't wait to have that Caliente!!! ?”
“I have never eaten Thai food before last night. This place is great, I will definitely be back.”
“We dined in last night (10/12/23) we had a party of 5. Our server was top notch, our meals were extremely delicious and outstanding in their presentations. The photos do not do any justice. I had Shrimp Fra Diavolo, Pinot Grigio White and my wife and I shared the Carrot Cake.”
“My mother and I stopped here for an early dinner today and we were BLOWN AWAY. The owners of this sweet little restaurant are incredibly kind and hospitable and immediately made us feel welcome. The atmosphere of the place is colorful and cozy. The whole experience was like a warm hug.
The food is excellent and beautifully seasoned. We’re originally from out west and are used to food from various regions of Mexico being pretty readily available and done well; unfortunately we’ve found Connecticut often lacking in flavorful, authentic Latin food. Until now. I had some incredible pork (Al pastor, I think?) enchiladas and mom had, I think, a steak taco style dinner. We immediately fell in love. She adored the Jamaica (iced hibiscus beverage, one of her all-time faves) and the horchata I was given to sample was pure comfort in a cup. We just had to order takeout as well for the rest of our family, even with a 45 minute drive home.
We don’t live in the New Haven area but will be back again anytime we find ourselves nearby. Again, I can’t stress enough what kind and lovely people the family who owns this place are. Give them a try and let them impress you, too!”

“My fave Chinese takeout spot in West Haven! I've ordered from Lucky Kitchen several times, and the food is delicious every time. The prices are unbeatable- tons of lunch specials for under $10. The man at the counter is always super friendly, too. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great takeout place.
Parking: There's a free lot right by the sports bar, so you only have to walk less than a block to reach the restaurant.”
“The owner Shawn has been a staple to our family for 10yrs! The food is always consistent, most AMAZING eggplant parm subs!! My kids devour the pizza! There’s nothing I’ve had in 10yrs that’s been bad! And Casa Bianca pays it forward for our community every chance they get! Always extremely helpful and friendly, they make you feel like part of the family! They’re amazing!!!”

“Went there last Saturday, August 3rd at 12:30 pm and had the best time ever. I spoke to Riley prior to going asking about the chocolate martinis and she told me that Allisa made really good ones. When we got there to celebrate a girl's day out Riley was there, our waitress Shelly pointed her out so I could go over and introduce myself. Not only did EVERYONE treat us like we had been going there for years and were family, but Alissa made REALLY GREAT DRINKS and the FOOD WAS FANTASTIC. My sister had a couple cosmos, and my other friend and I had the chocolate martinis which were WONDERFUL!!! We had chicken tacos, fries and the Burbon pork belly bites were SOOOO GOOD you would want to slap anyone who tried to grab any. This was truly a good time and although it was busy, loud and was SOOOOOO MUCH FUN because everyone was fabulous. I will look forward to going back next time I'm in Connecticut.”
“I highly recommend this restaurant.The food and service quality was truly exceptional, I can't wait to come back
The ambiance and food at Sandbar were outstanding.♡”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“This location has a wonderful atmosphere, everyone so friendly, respectful the owner rocks-very cordial, And does not mind getting his hands dirty if need to. Yesterday he was greeting, setting up tables everything- this is establishment gives you that cultural vibe and home feeling atmosphere”
“I’ve been dining in and taking out from here for years. This particular Dunkin always has the best staff. Workers move on and the new ones always seem to fit with the old. Super fast service even when problems arise. For the amount of foot traffic, the inside is always in order, stocked and clean. When I travel and visit other Dunkin’s, I always find myself wishing I was at this store. Thank you for consistently providing great service.”
“I love a nice Dunkin coffee. However this particular Dunkin doesn't perk their coffee long enough. I know it's because they are extremely busy, but what you get is a cup of hot water!! It's never good in the morning!! So I no longer go to this location first thing in the morning. But if you visit after noontime, the coffee is delicious!! Just don't go in the morning unless you want a cup of hot water!!
Parking: Lots of space to park”
“Shannon at this location is amazing and so so pleasant! I don’t often leave reviews but had to share. I rarely have had a good experience here and visit often as it is the only one on the way to Yale where I am often. I’d avoided it for a while but was in a bind one day. Glad I gave it another shot! Hope Shannon sticks around!”
“The Impossible Whopper is good. It always seems to be overcooked every time I get one though. Not just from this burger King. Ive gotten them from different ones and the same thing with being slightly burnt. However, I'm just glad a fast food chain finally came up with a veggie burger version. Been a vegetarian my whole life so it's always been an 'I'll just get fries' kind of situation when going to places like that.”
“Came here to grab a bite and a drink after work the wings are amazing the drinks very flavorful nicely spiked good choice of music and the customer service was very kind and provided quick service .”
“So impressed. Just ordered for the first time and had the food in just over an hour. On a Friday. During Lent. The the portions were large. We over ordered because we weren't sure and it was to much food! Will definitely order from here again!”

“THE difference between me living a healthier life and not. Edibolic is delicious, interesting, and has great variety. There is not one week I dont see a couple of meals that are different from what I would normally eat, that I WANT to eat. Nutritious balanced meals that allow me not to have to worry about what fast food I'm going to wait in line only to regret eating later. The prices are better than fast food , while the food is obviously healthier. I really cant say enough good things and wish I had found this company earlier. I say this with allsincerity, let Edibolic Kitchen help you live a better, healthier life.”
“I love going there with my husband and people are very nice. Bartenders are amazing. They have karaoke Wednesday nights and they get bands come and play. The one from last night with the woman singer was amazing. They played really good and known songs her voice is incredible I hope they bring them back again. There s never fights or any bs. Made good friends there”
“Reliably excellent. Loved the choices of margaritas, all delicious. Food was top notch, with friendly, attentive service to boot. Since opening, La Palapa has provided a consistent and dependable culinary experience which keeps us coming back. Thanks for the memories.”
“Very friendly staff/ bartenders. Excellent food. Always Good vibes. Great location.”
“Always great, very good sushi and atmosphere is always good for any family of children.”
“First time eating here tonight I had the lobster roll it was very good. I would definitely eat here again”
“Solo at the bar. Lobster grilled cheese half and half onion rings/fries. Lexi was busy but attentive and great. Beach less than 100 yards away.”
Latest Reviews
“Only the Best is and will always be awesome. The owner is amazing and very hsrd working. Dealing with the public can be difficult at times. And when they dont get what they want they write a bad review. Shame on them Where can you go and order delicious food at a very reasonable price. For those who complained Please go some where else and pay more money and eat crab. If you havent worked in a restaurant you have no idea how hard it is!!! Again great job only the best. And thank you for all of your delicouis food.”

“So, I finally got to try the biryani—both the chicken and the goat fried versions—plus some garlic naan and butter chicken. And let me tell you, everything tasted pretty great! But if I had to pick a favorite, the spicy chicken biryani totally won the flavor showdown over the goat roasted biryani (sorry, goat, it’s not personal).
The naan? It was good, but honestly, I’ve had better naan at House of Naan in New Haven. Not trying to start a naan war, but, you know... just sayin'.
The vibe of the place was super chill, too. It’s quiet, mostly filled with Indians and students from the area, so it felt like I had accidentally stumbled into a secret hangout for people in the know.”
“I have never eaten Thai food before last night. This place is great, I will definitely be back.”
“Wow ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 👍🏼 👍🏼 Absolutely Amazing Food, Drinks & Staff. If you’re in West Haven definitely stop down and have a delicious meal and a cocktail. I will definitely be back. -DJbry”
