“Hidden in the corner, somewhere in Newington. Tokyo Cafe was a pleasantly delicious and wholesome surprise. My partner and I decided to venture out and try somewhere new and we may have just found our new regular spot.The dining room doesn’t have too much seating (6-8 tables max) and I would definitely consider it an intimate but cozy vibe. We frequent sushi of all calibers, this isn’t meant to be compared to Nobu or other establishments of the sort. It is an excellent neighborhood sushi restaurant.The food was fresh and delectable . My partner really enjoyed the Kani Salad as an appetizer. She said it was unique in taste and refreshing. I had a house salad with ginger dressing and the miso soup which was just what I wanted and what you would expect. We also shared the Pepper Tuna Tataki ??? absolutely delightful. I must mention all from the dressing to the consistency of the kani salad, this wasn’t the generic all you can eat, run of the mill spot.The very nice lady that waited on us was very attentive and put care into her work. The Sushi Itamae delivered with a beautiful presentation and construction of the “Sushi Sashimi Combo 4 Us”. We finished the meal off with some fried ice cream and left happy and full. I would recommend this place and we will be returning.“
“Simple amazing! My daughter in-law was getting her nails done near here and wanted to meet for lunch. She has been here numerous times and said it's delicious. Omg she wasn't kidding. I love this more than sushi. I had a bowl with brown rice, salmon, tuna, and lots of topping and sauces. I was full half way through my bowl but I just couldn't stop eating it because it was like an explosion of tastes in your mouth. I know I will be craving this and definitely be back.“
“This sushi place was one of my favorite. Recently the rolls are so huge that they always fall apart. They taste ok , but not sure why they make them so big. Also the seaweed is very chewy compared to other places. Not sure if it’s a new chef, but it’s definitely different.“
“Everything about this place is amazing! The food to the service! Literally the best hibachi place I've ever been to! Ambiance is calming and wonderful! You can't go wrong no matter what you order from their sushi to their goyza to their dessert.“
“This is one of my favorite restaurants in CT. I've become a bit of a regular. Service is good, and food is fantastic. Ramen (non-spicy version) is really comparable to this excellent hole in the wall I went to in Tokyo, although normally ordering it spicy now - it's just that good. Korean dishes are also excellent and I'm a bit of a snob. tbh my favorite thing on the menu is their potato salad.“
“A MUST. I'm from out of state and every single time I visit I ask to go here. Consistently delicious. My go-to is general tso chicken. Never a 'weird' piece of meat, very crispy and generous portion. We've tried basically every appetizer on the menu, all 10/10. Our favorites are crab Rangoon, and the spring rolls. The cocktails are very tasty, the lemon drop especially. Some drinks are served in fun glasses like a tiki! Service is great, very friendly and attentive. Never have to wait too long but I also like that the food doesn't come out asap too. Would absolutely recommend this restaurant and will continue coming back!“
“I ordered the spicy beef ramen it was amazing! The beef was tender and flavorful as well as the broth. I've tried several ramen spots in CT and this is the best I've had so far. Can't wait to go back and try the tonkotsu and sushi.“
“The Kaliubon in West Hartford is the best. My all time fav restaurant. Comfort food, friendly staff, and relaxed environment. The perfect place to unwind and eat tasty well prepared food. I recommend this place to everyone and they are just as obsessed with this place as I am. You won’t regret taking a visit♥️ just do it! Thank me later :)“
“I honestly did not have high hopes for this place. But I am happy to say that we have gotten food here about 5 times now, and it's great. Good prices, and they deliver incredibly fast. The sushi is great, if you are a sushi purest type of person, which I mean stay away from the crazy rolls and stick with some sashimi or nigiri, they do an awesome job with it. Perfect cuts, perfect temperature. If I had to critique I would say, use less panko in your spicy rolls and those could be fantastic too. I will keep going back!“
“Little “hole in the wall” type of place. We dined in but they do a ton of takeout because the restaurant is so small. I’m allergic to shellfish and the chef was very careful when making my rolls. We also ordered the vegetable tempura. All of it was delicious! Not a super fancy sushi spot, but highly suggest.Dietary restrictions: The chef was very cognizant of my shellfish allergy, always a worry at a sushi spot!“
“I ordered delivery during lunch time. They have some really great lunch special options, so it seemed like the perfect time to try this place. I ordered the beef negimaki bento box which came with soup, salad, a california roll, rice, and some yakitoried veggies. I was able to add one some tempura for 3 dollars extra and I sure did. Everything was absolutely delicious. It came quickly, and was hot. The tempura (two shrimps, a carrot, and a sweet potato) were crispy, light, and delicious. The salad had the classic carrot ginger dressing I love so much. The negimaki was good, the sauce was not too sweet, and the veggies and california roll all tasted great.I would absolutely order here again, the price was reasonable and the food was delicious.“
“Great food — and we are picky. My husband lived in Thailand and loves reliving those years. The staff are very sweet and friendly. Very good with kids, too, and made my grandson feel special.Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian options in every categoryKid-friendliness: Welcoming and accomodating for kids“
“Omg everything was soooo good, I would say the drinks suck because it’s not giving upscale and very cheap tasting liquor, I felt like I was drinking a happy hr drink from Outback Steakhouse. I tried several, so yeah!! I would definitely go back for the food!!Parking: Best best to get an Uber!!“
“Pros: Nice selection of menu options. Drinks were very good. Sashimi was fresh. Table was clean. Nice decor and ambiance.Cons: The hibachi room wasn't open. A couple of things I ordered weren't available. Food/check took a little while to come “
“Man, I remember when this food court used to be packed with customers and businesses during lunch. Now it’s down to 2 spots for grub. Either way, destroyed the Spicy Salmon bowl with brown rice. It was really good. If you’re looking for a good space to enjoy good food and be left alone to read or whatevs, this is a good space for that. For now.“
“This review is long overdue. Hachi is perhaps one of the best, if not the best, restaurants in the area. I go so often that the manager Maggie knows my order by heart! I always feel respected and welcomed when I go and my food is delicious. I wish they were open on Tuesdays so I could go every day of the week!“
“Richard is the best employee I have ever interacted with at Pokeworks. I first met him at the Pokeworks in Glastonbury. After they closed, I was thrilled to see him working at the West Hartford location. Richard is always extremely polite, accommodating, and has the BEST attitude all the time. Thank you Richard!“
“I had such a wonderful night, our waiter was great and made the experience so memorable and everything was delicious.Got a Thai iced tea (like 4 of them and took the rest home haha), chicken tempura and pork gyoza dumplings for appetizers, and then got mushroom soup, shrimp tempura roll, and other things as well that were spectacular.Just go here. Or better yet, get it delivered!!!!!!YOUR STOMACH WILL THANK ME?“
“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Min Ghung with a group of friends, and I must say it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. As regular patrons of this restaurant, we have always been delighted with the delicious food and impeccable service, and this visit was no exception. First and foremost, I have to commend all the sushi chefs. They truly exceeded our expectations by creating the best sushi I have ever had the pleasure of tasting. Each piece was expertly crafted, showcasing their culinary expertise and attention to detail. The freshness of the ingredients and the perfect balance of flavors in each bite were simply outstanding. If you're a sushi lover, Min Ghung, Glastonbury is an absolute must-visit. Despite being a small establishment, the restaurant exudes a cozy and comfortable ambiance. The intimate setting allows for a more personalized dining experience, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. Whether you're dining with a group of friends or having a quiet dinner for two, Min Ghung provides an ideal setting for an enjoyable evening. The service at Min Ghung is truly top-notch. The staff is attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, making sure that each guest feels welcomed and well taken care of. From the moment we stepped through the door until the time we left with satisfied stomachs, every interaction with the staff was pleasant and efficient. Overall, our dinner experience was nothing short of exceptional. The combination of superb sushi, cozy ambiance, and outstanding service left us with full stomachs and a sense of happiness and satisfaction. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking a memorable dining experience!!!“
“It was a rather interesting restaurant to visit. I've been to quite a few in Connecticut, however, this one had the services of Habachi's! This was very interesting! I had a gender reveal invitation and ended up visiting.....it was nice, I plan to revisit with my girlfriend. Also, the food was delicious and the atmosphere was very exciting.“
“This is definitely a gem and needs to be more popular. The prices are so cheap and you get a good serving. The hosts are lovely, the servers are amazing and so are the rest of the staff. I have been here multiple times and have never had a bad experience.“
“We stopped here for some quick sushi due to its proximity to the Truck Bar. It was a good find! A little hole in the wall place in a large plaza. The service was excellent, very attentive and accommodating. The atmosphere was a little underwhelming, as it seemed to keep busy with mostly takeout orders as opposed to dine in. The food itself was good, not the greatest sushi ever, but it hit the spot for a sushi craving!“
“Their food is one of the best sushi places ever, I ordered the shrimp tempura one with mango and one without amazing and the spicy mayo delicious. I just upset that they are no longer in Bloomfield,Ct anymore but happy their still around for sure.“
“My family went here for Hibachi (with the chef preparing food at the Hibachi table) and had a very good experience. The food was good and drinks were reasonably priced for West Hartford and strong. The chef was entertaining and put on a good show. The environment was nice but also kid friendly. There is a 20% service fee for dining in the Hibachi showroom as other reviewers have noted, however there is a sign stating that at the entrance and the server was up front about it as well, so it wasn't a surprise and does make sense given the extra service as part of the experience.I'll definitely come back in the near future!“
“We had a great dinner at Liki! We all had rolls. Everyone that works there is so nice and accommodating. I have a gluten sensitivity and the chef came over to tell me what I could order. I highly recommend the Sarah Roll made GF. We also love the house salad which they have GF dressing for.Vegetarian options: We love the vegetarian rolls, good selection.Dietary restrictions: Lots of GF options.“
“Had dinner as takeout for the first time under new owners. The food was delicious. As good as with the previous owners which is High Praise. The only caveat I have is they no longer have brown rice. I love Brown rice! But overall, I'm still very pleased with the new owners“
“My husband and I love this place. It's to the point where the employees are very familiar with my husband and knows his order before even placing it. We love having hibachi there.Parking: Shared parking lot, there's also additional parking behind the shared lotKid-friendliness: There's a sit-down area family oriented and also hibachi which I've seen children really love.Wheelchair accessibility: There's a ramp for those who have wheelchairs or scooters. Elevator is available also for other establishments“
“THE BEST! MUST GET MISO SOUP! I had the superman roll & dancing eel roll was delicious!!!!! And so close to home!!! So happy to have found this place!!! Delicious and highly recommend! And it’s BYOB ? ( should I stay delicious one more time LOL!)Only thing I wish is that they had crab Rangoon. Thats it!Parking: In a huge parking lot!“
“Mikado is usually my go-to for sushi, especially if I want to have things besides the sushi, too. My friend and I went on a Saturday night recently to celebrate our birthdays from the month before. I like the ambience. The booths are pretty private. You have to walk down a flight of steps and it feels like you're not even in downtown Middletown. The menu is extensive. Almost too big. Despite this, I've never had something I didn't love at Mikado. They've done everything well so far. The service is great, good portions and a variety of options.“
“First time going here and I ate very well! We were seated immediately and our server was kind. My friend and I enjoyed all of our sushi rolls! The gyoza was AMAZING, perfectly cooked. The dining area was clean with the perfect amount of lighting. Can't wait to go back! But, entrance area can use a remodel as it looks a little unkempt. I do wish parking was better here as it's on a main road with a very small lot.“

“We came in for lunch on a holiday so there were not many people in the restaurant. Each of us ordered something different. My chicken lo mein was delicious and the portion was quite large. My husband had several sushi rolls which were fresh and delicious. One of my sons got the hibachi lunch and loved it. My other son got a teriyaki bento box. This was his first time trying sushi and he loved it as well. The waitstaff was friendly and extremely kind. We will definitely be backKid-friendliness: They offered my kids “cheater chopsticks”, my younger son got “the world’s coolest bendy straw”, on our way out they asked him if he’d like a balloon, then blew up the cutest foil dinosaur balloon.“
“I had an exceptional dining experience at this restaurant. The culinary offerings were exquisite, complemented by a delightful atmosphere and attentive staff. The freshness of the food truly stood out. My companions and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit and look forward to returning. Without hesitation, I will be recommending Ikura to others. Thank you for providing a truly wonderful dining experience!“
