“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 recently dined at Aberdeen Restaurant in White Plains, NY, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The ambiance of the restaurant is warm and inviting, offering a perfect setting for both casual and special occasions. The staff were incredibly attentive and knowledgeable, providing excellent recommendations that enhanced our dining experience.The menu at Aberdeen is a delightful fusion of flavors, showcasing the best of Cantonese cuisine with a modern twist. Each dish we ordered was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor, clearly made with high-quality ingredients. The Dim Sum selection is a must-try; it’s easily some of the best I’ve had outside of Asia. The Peking Duck was another standout, perfectly cooked with crispy skin and tender meat.What truly sets Aberdeen apart is their commitment to customer satisfaction. The staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable dining experience. Prices are reasonable for the quality of food and service provided, making it a great value.I highly recommend Aberdeen Restaurant to anyone looking for an outstanding dining experience in White Plains. It's a culinary gem that shouldn't be missed. Five stars aren't enough to describe the impeccable service, exquisite food, and welcoming atmosphere of this restaurant. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!“
“Ollie's 99 is the first restaurant that I'm aware of in Connecticut that serves dim sum and pizza! The Chef's Special sesame chicken caught our eye right away, and it was very tasty! With pizza and dumplings being some of our favorite foods, this spot was a win for us! The kale salad was very fresh, and the kung pao chicken roll was perfect for us to split with our lunch. We had a nice sunny seat by the window, and the restaurant had a relaxing vibe. The food arrived quickly, and our server was attentive. Definitely a unique spot in Greenwich that sets itself apart from the other Asian restaurants in town!“
