“We called in a massive take-out order and certainly will do so again! The poke bowls are big beautiful meals with lovely fresh ingredients & options between rices and greens as a base. Sashimi platter presented descent sized cuts of high quality. I've never been a fan of General Tso's Chicken, but their white meat version had me converted! Overall, very pleased.“
“I’ve been to Hinoki in Greenwich now on three separate occasions - each time a great meal. Last night was no exception. We walked in on Sunday night with no reservation and while they were busy, they had no trouble seating us right away. It’s a nice dimly lit ambiance with a cedar smell throughout.We started off with miso soup and wanted to try something different so we went with the Asian Pear Salmon. While the miso soup was great, the Asian Pear Salmon had an overpowering onion flavor and was a bit disappointing, but the salmon was nice and fresh.Next we had a couple of the Nori tacos - Wagyu Salt and Toro. These were both excellent and I would recommend getting them.Next up we had 5 pieces of nigiri each. Tuna, Uni, some other pieces. They were all great, but I would say I’ve had better. The rice was inconsistent. The last piece that came out separately was perfect, and the rice was nice and warm. The others didn’t seem to match the same quality for some reason, but were still 8/10. Also I would not I’m not a fan of gold leaf on food in general, but especially in sushi. But I credit them for the effort.We were still hungry, so instead of dessert we opted for the soup dumplings which were great.For drinks, I had a wonderful glass of red burgundy from Beaune, and my wife had a mezcal cocktail she was still raving about the next day.Overall, this is a nice romantic restaurant for date night, or to take a group out for an impressive sushi dinner. It’s more casual than a limited seat Omakase experience, so set your expectations. You’ll be in for great food and ambiance, with pretty good service, but not out of this world.“
“I love this place for being tasty and not oily, it is thr only somewhat healthy chinese food around. I love their eggplant with basil and tofu. They give a huge portion of tofu seared so well and baby or japanese eggplants, i cannot tell which one they use. I only wish they had put more basil in it. The best part is t he sauce with it. It is peff erect and not oily or congealed in a take away container. The drunken noodles are okay, kind but the vegetables are really fresh.“
“Ordered take out this evening for me and my family. Food was really good, but they forgot to include a side of white rice for one of the dishes. It was listed on the receipt, but was not included in the bag. Made the meal a little underwhelming just eating the meat and sauce without rice. Again, food was really good but check your order before you leave the restaurant.“
“Orienta is a high-end, luxury French-Asian fusion restaurant centrally located near Main Street, Greenwich. Ambiance is understated, with low light and tables a bit too close to each other, bordering on cramped. Diners are permitted to eat at the bar, which opens up more cuisine area but eviscerates any casual bar scene. We arrived early and tried to grab a drink at the bar. The proprietor shoed us away as there was no room at the bar for drinks (perhaps something the restaurant should rethink). He was not overtly rude – but he wasn’t particularly pleasant either. Surprised, we left for another bar and returned later for dinner.I’m glad we did. As part of a large group, we ordered a number of dishes and shared collectively. Everything was delicious (perhaps that’s why the proprietor felt comfortable encouraging us to leave for a drink). For appetizers, the baby back ribs were the star – rich pork falling off the bone. For main dishes, the spicy duck lo mein is a must.Although the food is exceptional, prices are sky high. For six people, the cost exceeded $900 with very modest beverage consumption. I’ll be back, but preferably on an expense account.“
