“Went in and ordered a Japanese yuzu drink from the kiosk. It had real yuzu and lime! (forgot to take a before pic). It was delicious! If you’re in a rush though, just know they do take a while so don’t expect fast service. This one small drink took about 15 minutes but that didn’t bother me.”

“We went to dine with this rag tag restaurant and the experience was awful. The waitress had no teeth and asked my son for his? At first we thought “hey maybe they are joking” then all of a sudden. They lady grabbed his front bicuspid. Needless to say - at that point we were concerned. Because we had a long day we were still hungry. So we stuck around. The next thing you know. The toothless individual brought another toothless friend and tried to get my tooth as well. At that point. We know. Time to get out of here. We were cooked. Unlike the food at this gross place.”

“Stopped in for lunch on a weekend. Seated right away and greeted with 2 pitchers of water for the table, which was great because it was a hot day. Servers were very nice. Ordered on the iPad and drinks came right out. Food didn’t take long, even though there was a sign warning that it might. We tried 3 different dishes and a soup at the table, and all were excellent. Will definitely be back!”

“This place is an absolute gem!!

Whether you're celebrating birthday, enjoying romantic date night..Would highly recommended this restaurant to anyone looking for an exceptional dinning experience -its's truly place that checks all the boxes!!”

“We were there last night. Forget the poor reviews. When you walk in it feels like a pizzeria, but when the food is presented, it's like a 5 star restaurant! The presentation is gorgeous, the preparation is perfection. We were 5 in our party and everyone left happy. The portions were very generous and some of us brought leftovers home. It's not cheap, but you get what you pay for, and it wasn't exorbitant either. Special shout out to Elizabeth, our delightful server (and daughter of the owner/chef) who treated us like royalty. Other friends who came in after us agreed!”

My husband has a laundry list of food allergies and Steve came out to offer alterations he could make to the menu items to accommodate us. Everyone there was so friendly and the cocktail and food we had was all fresh and delicious. I could have the parmesan tomato soup everyday for the rest of my life and be happy, it was the best I have ever had. Thank you for a great lunch experience, we will definitely be back!”

“Stopped by here randomly because my sister wanted to get a burger next door and the food was better than expected! The bubble tea cup looks super cute and the lemonade tea tasted fresh. This is the first time I've tired brown sugar boba that looked transparent but it was prefectly chewy. The spicy beef noodles also pretty good, I liked how there was a lot of customizable options because I prefer thick noodles and for it to be super spicy.”

“Ginger cardamom scones! Actually, all the scones are delicious. Coffee beans are roasted in a facility in Rocky Hill. Our favorite is the dark roast. Shop local!”

“too expensive, horrible service, arrogant and ignorant staff. unless you have 15 minutes to wait for a simple coffee and muffin while these igorant people commiserate with college students, dont bother patronizing this place. $15 for muffin, coffee and tip makes Starbucks seem inexpensive.”

Vegetarian options: It's all veg and your can get dairy free stuff too”

“Delicious fresh food, and the owners are so nice and friendly! Our go to spot when we're in the mood for Turkish food.”

“Ming’s Chinese food is actually really good — the flavor, portions, and freshness are always on point. But I’ve got to say, I don’t love that if you ask for extra broccoli, they charge you for each piece individually 🙂.

Still one of my go-to spots, just wish they’d chill a little on the “per broccoli” pricing!”

The restaurant was very clean, well organized and the staff was very knowledgeable on the menu. They also have some really nice non-vegetarian options as well. Overall all the food was very flavorful and we will definitely be visiting again and highly recommend.”
