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!”

“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.”

“Small, cute diner a few minutes off the highway with many vegan options. Worth the stop if you are looking to stay on your vegan diet. Fast, friendly service. Good quality. The vegan burger was tasty, loaded with toppings, and filling. It’s worth the stop. Updated from previous review on 2025-05-24”

“I have never eaten Thai food before last night. This place is great, I will definitely be back.”
“I got this delivered to my workplace and the service was so good. I could see on my watch that they were communicating with me about the delivery. I couldn't look until I was done working. But the food was super good and the company was super good about communication.”

“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.”

Drive-Thru Restaurants
“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.”
“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 have been getting takeout from Golden Island for many years now
I've ordered many items and the food has always been delicious and fresh
The chef is skilled and she is very nice
The only criticism I have is the interior of the restaurant needs to be freshened up
Otherwise the food and service is excellent”
“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.”

“I recently ordered a Buffalo Chicken Quesadilla & wings from Zee's. If you like spicy, this Quesadilla is for you! It was more than worth the price; it had great flavor, & it was packed! That was one big Quesadilla! I shared it with someone, because it was too much for me. Oh by the way, the garlic parm wings, & mild wings were delicious too! Don't sleep on Zee's food. It's fantastic. Also of note, check out their specialty drinks. Always something new & delicious to try!”
“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.”
“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.”
“First time eating here tonight I had the lobster roll it was very good. I would definitely eat here again”
“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”
“Always friendly and the food is always so good whenever my man and I don't feel like cooking it's like still having that home cooked feel but none of the work ? so I love this place ?”

“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.”

“A wonderful family spot for dinner. Visited here many times with friends and family and we tried a wide variety of dishes and everything was among the best food I’ve ever had. I asked for spicy—but not overwhelming—and they nailed it perfectly. The staffs are incredibly professional and took the time to explain the dishes to me as a first-timer. I’ll definitely be returning—regularly.
While I spent a bit, the portions were generous and I had plenty of leftovers. In my opinion, the prices were very fair for the quality and quantity of food. Fair to recommend them.”
