What a local gem! I've returned several times just this week because I am so impressed with the food quality, atmosphere, and overall experience at Feng's Chophouse. Let's start with the décor. The stunning, one-of-a-kind entrance door immediately sets the tone and makes you feel like you're stepping into another world. It's also the perfect photo opportunity! The dim lighting and warm color palette create a relaxing and inviting ambiance, while the beautifully designed bar adds a luxurious touch to the space. The bartenders are incredibly friendly, attentive, and provide exceptional service that makes every visit enjoyable. Everything I've ordered has arrived quickly and beautifully plated, so visually appealing that I almost didn't want to touch it! The quality of the food is outstanding, with every dish tasting fresh and packed with flavor. Some of my favorites include the maki rolls, Wagyu and shrimp dumplings, and the nori tacos. Feng's Chophouse has quickly become my go-to spot for a relaxing lunch, date night, or special dinner. The restaurant is clean, welcoming, and consistently delivers an excellent dining experience. Highly recommend! read more

The restaurant is nicely situated in beautiful downtown Hartford and was just stones throw away from popular hotel chains like Hilton and Marriott. The walk to get there wasn't bad at all. As soon as you walk in, your greeted and sat by the waitress. The restaurant reminded me of an anime, like a Japanese anime in a quasi futuristic yet elevated luxurious way. They have plenty of seating available at the sushi bar but the man bar with what appeared to be one bar tender, was full of patrons. I opted for a table because I had work to do as well while I waited for my food. My only negative would be that the quality of the service was significantly less because I was a solo diner at a table. The wait staff did focus all of their energy on patrons with 2 or more tops. So if your looking for a more well rounded experience, invite a friend or multiple so that you can get your water refilled in a timely manner, drinks, inquire about menu items ect. I ordered the dragon and avocado roll along with a chocolate cake. All were excellent which is why I rate this place a 4 out of 5. Parking: I walked on foot but didn't notice street parking. I did however notice that they had parking garages. I didnt ask if they validate parking but that would be something I would encourage you to call ahead and ask. Also, make a reservation here. It's easier than waiting for a spot to open up. read more

Our second time here!! This time for our 25th anniversary. Amazing once again!! Lucky enough to get the same server we had the first time!! Impeccable service! Love the dark and moody atmosphere, it's relaxing. Started with a perfect dirty martini made with a Japanese vodka ( can't remember the name) and a Davis Bynam Chardonnay. My husband had a bourbon. Fresh oysters were lovely. And the Otoro Caviar Roll was awesome! My husband had the porterhouse, he loved it and took half of it home( pretty sure that was intentional lol) and I opted for the Omakase. For dessert we had the Chocolate Lava cake and Ice cream. We will most definitely be back. read more

What a gorgeous date spot or even just wanting to having a special night--here's for another visit here SOON!!! read more

The ambience of Feng Chophouse is like no other! Very low lighting, intimate spacing and beautiful decor. Perfect date night spot! We paid $10 for valet which was very convenient and was greeted and seated as soon as we walked in. We ordered the shrimp tempura appetizer which was seasoned very well and tasted fresh. I ordered the braised short rib for my entree which was mouthwatering and very delicious. My partner ordered the rack of lamb entree which he truly enjoyed as well. 10/10 would highly recommend! It was a perfect night! read more

I am rating 3.5 stars. Feng Chophouse gives the impression of a fine dining experience, but certain aspects don't quite live up to that. There's surprisingly no cocktail list or drink menu with descriptions which seemed odd for a place positioning itself at this level. You can barely find the drink menu online either, or descriptions of their signature cocktails. Alcohol doesn't seem to be a real focus here, which feels like a missed opportunity for a restaurant that otherwise wants to feel upscale. The service was professional. The food itself was hit or miss. The spicy tuna crispy rice was fresh, beautifully done, and genuinely delicious. However, some appetizers and the dessert felt common for the price point, and some menu items were waaaaaay overpriced. Overall very fresh fish. read more

Beautiful atmosphere with dim lighting and a perfect date night vibe. The food was amazing -- especially the braised short rib and rack of lamb. Great service, convenient valet parking, and an overall 10/10 experience. read more

So good! Great happy hour menu. Drinks were like $6. Food was super cheap too! The rolls were like $7. I wasn't in the mood for a roll so I got a seaweed salad and spicy edamame (sooooooo good). The restaurant was really nice and cute for a date. Overall great and nice bartender! read more

Grabbed dinner for the first time in a few years! I can definitely say me and Feng got off on the wrong foot. We were seated in the back and I loved the decor. Super chic and modern, it definitely is one of the more upscale restaurants in Hartford. I ordered the calamari, dry aged steak and cheese, and the good fortune to drink. The good fortune was delicious, similar to a pina colada. The calamari was cooked well and wasn't rubbery or oily. I loved the sandwich! It was perfectly salted and the bread was very soft. I'm a sucker for French fries and specifically steak cut that have been cooked perfectly and have a little crisp. Service was attentive. read more

The food was amazing. One of the best restaurant steaks I've had in years. They have a pricey sake menu too if that strikes your fancy. The sushi was also so tender and delicious. I love that you can get some special items with gold leaf. The only negative was there was a big delay between getting our drinks and raw oysters and our entrees. However it was such a nice night with great cocktails we were fine waiting. read more

Came for my guys bday. Food n ambiance were great, service was kinda weird. Crostinis were super stale and when we told the server, she decided we didn't know what we were talking abt and explained to us what crostini is supposed to taste like, lol. I told her try one and flipped it over to expose mold. She then took it to the back and came back with toasted bread to let us know the staff decided I was right and they were in fact stale. Lol. He had a great bday but we won't be back. read more

We stopped by in the early evening to grab a cocktail and we were easily able to find a spot at the bar. The bartender was fantastic and offered to make us cocktails, one with Chambourd ( no specific drink listed on menu) and another with whiskey. The cocktails looked like magazine advertisements and tasted wonderful. Excellent service. The bar is gorgeous and the interior dining areas are dimly lit with beautiful wooden accent screens and simple yet elegant table and chairs. It feels upscale and sophisticated yet welcoming and relaxing. There is also a sushi bar seating area. The place was filled with patrons and the dishes being presented looked fresh and appealing. The restrooms were clean and tidy and there is on street parking. We will definitely be back soon to dine in. read more

Honestly such a great experience with great customer service. The restaurant is large and great ambiance. We started with the Shishito peppers, wacky, surf and surf dumplings, and crispy rock shrimp tempura. I loved the shishito peppers. The dumplings were quite good as well and the rock shrimp was good. A very large serving of the shrimp tempura was served. It wasn't my favorite of all the apps that we tried. The sushi rolls and nigiri are very fresh. I tried the chophouse roll and it was so delicious. My friends tried the otoro caviar roll, and angry dragon alongside nigiri pieces. I was told the chicken Katsu as well as the Seabass were very tasty I certainly will visit again once I'm in Connecticut read more

I've been meaning to try this place for quite some time! My friend and I went for lunch and thought the food was delicious! I had the botan ebi for an appetizer. It was fresh and delicious! I got the steak sandwich for my main and it was perfect for lunch! The shrimp tempura is plentiful and has a great crunch and flavor! Our waitress was exceptional and the decor was beautiful! read more

Went to Feng Chophouse for my birthday tonight. While the service was wonderful, the experience was awful. We ordered two apps, one arrived AFTER our entrees were delivered. Speaking of our entrees, they took a while and were way over cooked. Both were ordered medium rare and they both came out grey with no pink. Salad was swimming in dressing and inedible. Over all the experience was a let down especially for a birthday dinner. I highly recommend going anywhere else. read more

Nice time at Feng a month or so ago. Beautiful inside. I've been in the past years ago and remember it to be very nice. Cesar salad has manchego cheese from Cato corner farm which I love so that was different. Very nice. Sushi was good. Don't remember what roll I had. Can't speak for the salmon as I didn't have that and the edamame is good no matter where you get it. Nice wine list. Nice restaurant. read more

This is an eclectic restaurant that brings together a true fusion of East and West. The best of food and some of the undesirable traits of the environments. Let's start with the food. The spicy edamame was very flavorful with a bit of spice, but not too much. There was fresh garlic slices as well. Yum! To keep the fusion fun and weird, we got a chopped salad and a Miso soup. Both were amazing. The chopped salad has pomegranate seeds which create a fun balance of textures and flavors. The sushi rolls were fantastic. The Feng Chef and Jalepeno rolls each had about 10 pieces and were flavorful. We kept our fusion strange with a side of Brussels sprouts, which were perfectly crunchy and seasoned. The service was very good with excellent communication. The downside was timing and noise. The bar was very loud and patrons were obnoxiously shouting at the TV, which belied the rest of the atmosphere. The sushi chefs were also backed up and it took a while to prepare the two rolls. Overall, definitely worth a visit! read more

I previously reviewed this restaurant. See my prior post with pictures. But this place is a must must return to. It's upscale and everything about it represents that. From the food to the physical vibe to the employees. read more

Entire meal was fantastic. From the appetizers to the end of meal desserts. Not pictured were our drinks - the Lychee Martini & Full Bloom cocktail and also not pictured was the Lady M Chocolate Crepe dessert. Start to finish the staff was courtesy & attentive, especially our waiter Aaron, who with his help, brought my wife's Wedding anniversary ring out with dessert as a surprise. Highly recommend Feng as the food was perfect. My wife and I agreed that the filet and salmon are some of the best we've ordered anywhere. Money well spent and will be back. read more

Ok. A lot of people had told me about this place and how amazing it is. Hmmmm. It's good. But to me, not amazing. The decor is comfortable, lighting is good. Hostess and staff are very friendly. The wagyu meatballs were good. Calamari rings ok. Drinks were nothing special. Let's talk steak. Here is my big disappointment. As you can see from my reviews. I have eaten at some amazing steakhouses across the country but Feng was not impressive. It just seemed lacking. From the flavor to the sear. Just not there. Sorry. Our group ordered 3 ribeyes and one porterhouse amongst us. All the same. Sorry. I would really have to think hard before going here again and spending the money. One thumb up, marginally. read more

3.25 stars. So let me start with the super positive. The entrance to Feng's is pretty impressive with blood red hues and modern accents. I like the overall dark feel to the restaurant. It adds a level of intimacy to the place that is hard to find in Hartford. On top of that, the service here is quite good. They make good recommendations especially with regards to drinks. I had a couple of lychee martinis here, and I thought they were delicious. Where I probably went wrong with Feng Chophouse is my own order. They had a 15 piece omakase priced at what appeared to be an absolute steal at 58 dollars. My math says less than 4 dollars per piece is a fantastic deal. But the quality of the omakase - when compared to other places across the US - simply didn't hold up. Some of the cuts were fairly rough, and none of the amazingly fresh silky flavors I've come to love were really present in the cuts. I think it's great that they offer omakase, but on a subsequent visit, I'll probably try one of their steak offerings. And if that doesn't work, I think it would still be a fun place to wind down for some late night drinks. read more

My husband and I were excited to try Feng, but it was a letdown. I arrived at 5:13 for a 5 pm reservation, aware of the 15-minute policy, and stood there while the hostesses stayed on their calls without acknowledging me. When one finally got off, she scowled and said, "You're more than 15 mins late," without even a hello. After I explained I'd phoned several times and no one answered the phone (yes, the same phone she was on), she backed down. I came for dinner, not a reprimand. The restaurant was nearly empty, yet the welcome was anything but warm. The food didn't redeem it--my drink was mostly ice, the lobster painfully salty, the noodles just okay. The salad was excellent, but one bright spot couldn't save the meal. Service was efficient but slow and uninspired. Aside from a brief bit of warmth at the end, the experience fell flat. We won't be back. read more

Probably the best restaurant in Hartford. Great creative options and lots of variety that changes occasionally. Sauces may be overdone on the sea bass and foie gras duck dumplings but it was good nonetheless. Presentation was well done but I've had combinations that tasted better. Service was good and attentive but not sure if the entire experience warrants the high prices. read more

Pricy, well prepared food. You pay for the ambiance Girlfriend landed a pretty nice job, so we wanted to go out and celebrate. Being a local foodie, I know that Ginza and Feng are the top places in the state for sushi, so the girlfriend decided to treat me to this place in hartford. First off, parking is limited to a few spots in front and a parking lot that's across the way. The parking lot charges 5 for parking under an hour, and 11 for parking under 2 hours. It's pricy for parking in hartford, but not unheard of. Going into the restaurant, it's very well decorated and the ambiance is a very intimate affair. Black linens, black chairs, singular spotlights illuminating single spots on each table. everything is dark and purposeful. Staff wears all black with red accents, very professional and very accommodating. We ordered a decent amount of food. We got a 10 oz filet, their signature maki, 2 sides, 2 sushi rolls (Surf and Turn and a Jalepeno roll), and 2 desserts (Crepe cake and Carrot Cake). Food comes out all at once, which was a pretty big error in terms of meal pacing. but it was fine, we took our pics and dug in. The plating was well done. all the plates were pretty and decorated well. The signature maki and the steak were the best bites out of the meal. The maki was fresh, composed and seasoned even though it was just raw fish. They showed awesome attention to detail and made sure that the bite itself had just enough composure to accent the star of the dish which was the fish. The steak was cooked properly, seasoned and butter basted. The meat was tender, juicy, and flavorful. A very well done and properly executed filet. The rest of the items were good, but were lacking the same attention that the other dishes had. The sushi rolls were prepared with premium ingredients, but they were not properly balanced. The surf and turf roll, the fried lobster had too much breading and the a5 wagyu was overcooked. the jalepeno roll was good, but there wasn't any flavors that were different or unique compared to a standard sushi restaurant. The sushi rolls were presented in a way that made the overhead spot lighting cast a lot of shadows on the dish. there was no nice way to get pictures of the food, which was a shame. The sides were very clean but also very generic. The mushrooms were an assortment of mushrooms, but very much just cooked mushrooms. The duck fat potatoes were potatoes cooked in duck fat, and nothing really else. They were high quality ingredients, but very generic cooking. The crepe cake was unique. it's effectively like eating scoops of whipped cream with thin layers of eggy pancake in-between. Not bad, and glad to say I got to try it. The carrot cake was very much mostly frosting, and the cake was not in proper proportions for the amount of frosting. The biggest issue was the price. Each item effectively came out to 20 bucks, with the steak commanding $60. I do not mind paying for quality, especially if those bites are very tasty. In this case, I have gotten better bites for cheaper in a few different locations. I can appreciate an attempt to keep flavors clean and simple, but I would expect there to be accents to emphasize the natural flavors of each item. That with the price makes this place not great. It's good, but very pricy for what you get. It's a good place to bring a date if you're trying to impress, but if you're not trying to impress anybody then there's little here to bring you in. read more

Stopped in while traveling through Hartford and was pleasantly surprised. I sat at the bar in the late afternoon, and the staff was super friendly and attentive. The restaurant had a couple of families visiting, so the ambiance was laid-back. I ordered the Angry Dragon roll and the Udon Noodles with Wagyu Meatballs, both were excellent! The roll was fresh and flavorful, but the noodles really stood out. Udon in marinara sauce isn't something you see every day, but it absolutely worked. The real star of the show? Those meatballs! They were rich, tender, and unforgettable. Would definitely recommend for a creative and satisfying meal. read more

I really enjoyed this place for dinner with the hubs. The ambiance is nice and we had great service. Our server even remembered what my husband ordered the week before. :) We ordered the calamari, pork belly, kimchi fried rice, autumn in Connecticut roll and the jalapeno mule. Everything was so delicious and came out so quickly. This was plenty of food for the both of us, but it was so good that we finished it all. I wish we had room for dessert, but we'll definitely be back again. read more

The dimly lit modern feel of the restaurant provides the perfect backdrop to an intimate evening. The upscale feel puts you in the mood for fancy cocktails in addition to dinner. I tried the CT autumn roll and it was absolutely delicious. I also had the tofu entree and it was equally as pleasing. Our server was attentive, but not overly intrusive. We had a lovely time at Feng Chophouse. read more

I enjoyed dining at Fengs. The ambiance was calming and sophisticated, such a great atmosphere. Honestly I have no complaints. The food was excellent and I thought the portion sizes were just right. Our waiter was fantastic, super enthusiastic and really knew the menu, which I appreciated. The rack of lamb cooked medium rare was out of this world, absolutely incredible. The potatoes with the beans cooked in duck fat were such a nice touch. The duck fat added this amazing richness that took them to another level. The kimchi fried rice and salmon were also prepared beautifully. Otoro caviar came with bread crispy bread for the caviar. Everything was just really well done. No complaints at all. read more

Can I just say beautiful ambiance, it gives proper, very elegant and lowkey. This is definitely a date night spot for sure. The service wasn't horrible, it was regular. But I know the real reason your reading this now, you're wondering is the for good? In my opinion I really enjoyed my food but I also tried the lamb and it deff tasted better than my steak lol. Baby bok choy was spectacula, kimchi fried rice flavor was tasty only issue it was too wet for my liking. The drink was average. I didn't take a pic of it but the seaweed salad was very good as well as the surf and turf dumplings... I'm interested to see what the happy hour menu talking about. Overall my first time here I give it a solid 7.9 read more

Gotta start off by saying the service here is always awesome. Always attentive, down to have a lil chat, just good peeps. Came here for one fancy, sit down meal and the rest of the time popped in a lot for their happy hour. The happy hour is crazy cheap, 4/5 bucks for regular sushi rolls and a bunch of small appetizers for $4-$6. And cheap drinks! The sit down dinner stuff is deffffffinitely pricey. The food is good. Some of the food is really great. I can't imagine all the food is worth the prices they charge. The sushi is pretty expensive but it's pretty bomb. A lot of stuff going on but it's good. Really liked the bone marrow. The steak is good, it's not amazing but it's good stuff. If you're not paying...make a point to go here. If you are paying, go for it, get your monies worth, have a good time. read more

I always have to adjust my eyes every time I come in here. It's always so dark but I guess that makes it more intimate. I am so glad they are serving something other than steaks this time.
