The menu is HUGE so we needed some extra time to order - neither of us could decide. We ended up both going with noodle dishes and the steamed chicken dumplings to start. Everything was fantastic. I got the Spicy Noodle - so flavorful and the vegetables were perfectly cooked. I literally cleaned my plate. My friend got the Crazy Noodles and the huge flat noodles were so fun. She couldn't finish all of hers and I took her leftovers, which were just as delicious the next day. The restaurant is in a large shopping plaza so there is a TON of parking.

However, if you know what authentic food from these cultures taste like and are craving it, skip this place. The fried chicken wings were heavily battered but flavorless. The Laotian papaya salad was the best of the foods we ordered. I would eat this again. BUT, I ordered it the max amount of spiciness (5 stars) and it didn't even make me glisten - let alone sweat! If you like Lao/Thai spicy, this was not that level. And finally, the Khao piek. This was the worst khao piek we've ever had. The broth was bland. The noodles were clumped up at the bottom and a little slimey? No bean sprouts or accompaniments. We also got edamame and that was not overcooked. Service was friendly and prices not too bad. We're not usually in this area and will not be coming back to this restaurant.

I'm the fussiest person when it comes to fresh delicious food and this place doesn't disappoint. Only reason I did not give 5 star is you can not dine in, strictly takeout, real bummer.. but that parking lot would be overflowing if they did. The second reason is they need to perfect a real brown gravy for the egg fu yung, if they do that then it's a home run. Come on chef.. you're good but this needs addressing.

You may be surprised to learn that this small restaurant in a small (mostly white) town in…read moreNorthEast CT has some of the BEST Japanese foods (if you know what to order). First off, the lunch special is where it's at. I got 4 entrees and 3 soups for $50- and this food will last me and my bf for at LEAST the whole weekend (breakfast/lunch/dinner). Lunch special is only Mon-Sat until 3:30pm so make sure you are timing your order right. Below is what I ordered: -3 maki roll special ($13.95): -2 spicy crab salad roll- This place legit has the best spicy crab salad roll I've ever eaten. This is one of my fav rolls and I always like to order it at other sushi places but other places never hit the same. The roll at Yamato has a slight crunch to it and the crab salad is seasoned and moist. -1 eel avocado roll- hits, pretty hard to mess this one up. -also comes with a side of soup -Teriyaki Yakiniku ($10.95): I always get this. Beef is tender and the fried rice is sooo good. Seasoned well and not too mushy and not too hard. Hits even more with the yumyum sauce drizzled on top. Pretty big serving- I can never finish the whole thing. Also they only give you two, but the glazed carrots are so good. This also comes with a side of soup. -Salmon Teriyaki ($10.95): I can't believe how affordable this is. Basically the same thing as the previous entree but salmon. You get two fillets that are kinda thin but live sup to the price. Well seasoned, though not as soft as other places. Also comes with a side of soup. -Chicken Yakisoba ($14.50): this was my first time having this dish here, it was okay. Kinda just tasted like lomein but not as seasoned- I had to pour lots of soy sauce over it. Personally wouldn't recommended unless you are looking for a basic and kinda bland noodle dish (might be good for kids?). Oh the chicken was a lil dry too. But it wasn't horrible- I still ate it because I like all noodles but prob won't go for this one again. The sides of soup are all good. The miso soup is a basic miso soup. The clear soup I think is just chicken broth? But then also has a few scallions and mushrooms which have obviously been previously dried. I feel like the lunch specials also used to come with a side salad but maybe they changed that? Anyway the salad dressing they give is usually BOMB and I'm sad I didn't get any this time. We ordered takeout and the wait was 30 minutes but there's plenty of things to do around the area while you wait. The staff are all nice, and it's not usually too busy inside. When I went in around 3 there were basically no dine in tables and like two other people picking up takeout. Overall, you have to know which dishes are good or not and if you want the bang for your buck, wait for lunchtime. If you get one thing out of this review... get the spicy crab salad roll and the beef yakiniku!!

Once inside, it's cozy, classy and impressively clean to the eye! Service was excellent - water glasses were kept full at all times. I ordered Pad Thai with crispy chicken and an order of fresh rolls. The fresh roll sauce was different from any I've ever had. Sort of a more peanut hoisin-like feel as opposed to the lighter peanut dressing. I loved it. The server asked how spicy we wanted our dishes, using a level of 1-5. Most said 2 but I went for 4 because no place ever makes it with enough of a kick when I ask for spicy. Well my 4 knocked my socks off. Only later did we find out that both servers can't even eat at a level 4!! That would have been grrrrreat to know ahead of time! Hahaaaa but it was delicious and I'd probably be silly enough to say "4" again! Prices were on par with other good Thai restaurants. We will definitely be back!
