6 Best Japanese Restaurants near Hamden

“This was very good, fresh, made to order. We prefer it much more than buffet food that has been sitting out. Loved their sushi, egg drop soup, crab Rangoon different from buffet style but very good. I got shrimp tempura roll. Shrimp and Vegetables in white sauce was very good, good service. We will be back before we leave Connecticut.“

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

“This place is completely goated. I have been going here since literal babyhood. The sushi is so yummy. I love the spicy salmon avocado roll and the sweet potato rolls. I also love the eel and yellowtail fish and salmon too. The sushimi is great! The waiters are always cleaning the tables they are excellent. The walls have cute Chinese ladies in dresses on them and the restaurant is baby-friendly. I love the calamari shrimp udon soup for an appetizer. Make sure to come in hungry, you won't regret it!“

“If I could give more than 5-stars I would! Not just for the food, but the best service ever and the reason we will be going back there is all because of Kimmy, she does everything by herself there and was outstanding and just a very special person. We will ABSOLUTELY be back and this is now our go-to date night spot without a doubt!“

“Sonobana is a standout among the myriad of sushi restaurants in the greater New Haven area. Not everyone can make it to New York or Boston for decent sushi restaurants. This is where Sonobana comes to the rescue. The interior is very tastefully decorated without the garish photos of sushi dishes or the marker board advertising specials. The dishes are of very high quality and taste. The staff are very friendly and helpful. If you're a fan of Japanese cuisine then definitely take the time to visit!“

“Had an enjoyable time having dinner with friends. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. The chef was engaging and funny. His preparation was a highlight of the dining experience. The atmosphere was nice and I noticed other patrons seemed to enjoy themselves as well. I would recommend Sakura Garden for a pleasant dining experience.“
