Complimentary Rock Shrimp Tempura
Clare C.

Came here for dinner and had a great time. Parking was easy and we were able to be seating right away at the sushi bar. It is always fun to watch the sushi chefs. The workers are all so kind. They start by bringing out hot towels that feel great. They then give a complimentary rock shrimp tempura which is delicious and was such a fun surprise. The menu is large with a variety of dishes and sushi. My friend was able to had tofu to any of the entrees which was great. We started with the Himalaya Edamame which is always yummy. i then ordered the Crazy Tuna Roll. It was delicious and the fish tasted fresh. Prices a little higher ~$25 for the roll but it was very good quality. The presentation of everything is so beautiful. Overall a really nice meal!

The decor is so over the top but also so much fun! Service is excellent - and they take so much care and add creative presentation to every single dish. The sushi pizza with caviar is delish and the dragon roll we had was also delish. Priced for a special occasion- but worth it.

Talk about an AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!!! Let me get it out the way...they are somewhat pricey, but definitely a place to impress someone!!!! Everything was impeccable and the service was excellent! The food was amazing and perfect!

Entrance
Janelly T.

Two weeks ago, my fiancé and I finally had the opportunity to visit the highly anticipated Asian restaurant everyone has been talking about--Han Tang Palace. From the moment we arrived, it was clear the excitement was well deserved. As you approach the entrance, it feels as though you're stepping into a portal to another continent. Once inside, you're immediately surrounded by exquisitely curated décor that evokes the elegance of both Japanese and Chinese design. The atmosphere is serene and captivating, with stunning artwork, ornate wood detailing, and dazzling chandeliers that create an almost enchanting ambiance. Even the restrooms continue this artistic theme, a thoughtful touch that speaks volumes about the restaurant's attention to detail. Parking is plentiful, though I imagine it fills quickly given how popular this destination already seems--and for good reason. They are also building a big patio outside that will yield more dining experience. The service was exceptional from start to finish. Every staff member was attentive and welcoming, and the owner himself made a point to visit each table and the bar, ensuring guests were satisfied and offering thoughtful recommendations. This level of personal engagement truly elevated the experience. We were seated promptly, and our waitress, Johana, greeted us with warm towels for hand cleansing--an elegant detail rarely seen at restaurants in the area and one we immediately appreciated. The menu itself is impressive and extensive, making it difficult to choose just one dish. Fortunately, Han Tang Palace offers a prix fixe option at two price points, allowing guests to select three courses--salad or soup, an appetizer, and a main entrée--from curated menus. My fiancé and I both chose the $50 prix fixe option, fully aware that finishing everything might be a challenge. For appetizers, we shared the Crispy Shrimp Tacos, which delivered an impeccable balance of flavor and texture and disappeared from the table quickly. We also enjoyed the Avocado Salad and the Homemade Shrimp & Pork Wonton Soup. Portions were generous, presentation was striking, and each dish felt like a work of art. The salad featured nearly a full avocado, beautifully arranged, while the soup was delicately aromatic and deeply comforting. Despite the abundance, we couldn't help but enjoy every bite. We also ordered two portions of Pork Fried Dumplings, assuming one order wouldn't suffice--only to discover that each plate includes six large dumplings. Even after our eating enough of it, we still had plenty to take home. When it came time to choose our main courses, we opted for kitchen specialties rather than sushi, deciding we'd save that for our next visit. I ordered the Mongolian Lamb, which arrived presented on an elevated metal platter that looked as impressive as it tasted. The lamb was perfectly tender, paired with flavorful onions that retained just the right amount of bite. The portion was so substantial that I could only manage to eat a quarter of it. My fiancé selected Tides of Passion, a beautifully plated dish featuring perfectly cooked shrimp and scallops coated in a subtly sweet sauce. Once again, the portion was more than generous, and leftovers came home with us. To conclude the evening, our waitress carefully packed our remaining dishes and returned them in an elegant branded bag adorned with Asian-inspired artwork--another thoughtful finishing touch. We can't say enough about Han Tang Palace and the proof is that while still seated at our table, I was already making plans to return with family and friends after Easter. This restaurant offers everything one could hope for: an immersive atmosphere, impeccable service that makes you feel like royalty, and exceptional cuisine that delights both the eyes and the palate. It has all the makings of a new favorite, a truly immersive dining experience :)

Teriyaki chicken

We all loved our dishes Our server was good and answered all our questions with ease Gave 4 stars instead of 5 because the waitress at the table next to us was more attentive than ours Very nice decor inside and out

2 types of sushi rolls on one plate.

The ambiance is spectacular, and the service is wonderful. The presentation is immaculate. Portions are small in my opinion, but hey, check it out for a special occasion and have a fun time.

This is a very unexpected addition to the mystic dining scene! The menu is interesting and diverse, food is well prepared, wait staff and management are very attentive and the decor... awesome. When you step into the restaurant you definitely don't feel like you're in Connecticut any more. Really enjoyed what we tried and look forward to heading back for another meal. It is pretty pricey for the area, so be forewarned. However, when you look at the care and attention put into the presentation of the meals, it's all well worth the cost.

My kids loved the avocado and shrimp tempura rolls, which they both add so fast. My wife enjoys her scallops and ordered the scallon in black bean sauce. She said the scallop is fresh and tastes sweet. Couldn't help it but I did steal some of scallop and can confirm it was fresh and sweet. For a lunch special we ordered general tso and sesame chicken which were both crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, and coated with a generous amount of sauce. The lunch special comes with a choice of soup. My kids chose the egg drop soup and I chose the hot and sour soup. Both soups were good. Why not 5 star? I thought the bathroom could use some improvement? At first my wife said it smelled like poop, and I really thought it was just her thinking that. Keep in mind that its 2 bathrooms, one for the ladies and one for the gents. When I stepped into the restroom for men, I immediately was overtaken by the smell of poop. They need to improve their ventilation system and also put in some air freshener. If it weren't for the bathroom issue, I'd definitely rate this place 5 stars. Food was amazing, would definitely come here again.

But I believe this place to be in an identity crisis. They have a lot going on-- a sushi bar. A raw bar. An open kitchen. A regular bar. The menu is very asian inspired/themed, but the inside of the restaurant feels very beachy/east coast vibes. And the dining areas feel "thin" -- like there is a lot of open space. I got the PlayBoy Roll as a starter, and it took about 20 minutes. Which felt kind of long, given how many (little) people were in there. And I was a party of "1" ... BUT, I ate every bite of it, and it was delicious! For my entree, I got the grilled swordfish, which I really enjoyed! But again, it felt like it took too long... It came with a side of pineapple fried rice with microgreens on top (I picked off the microgreens... do they really go ontop of fried rice?), and some broccolini. I imagine that this place is (also) attempting to host large parties/banquets. Feels like they could be set up for that. I just think the entire thing needs a little refinement.

I recently celebrated a big birthday dinner with a group of 14 friends and family at this…read morerestaurant which has been special to us for over 13 years. Even though the name (Kawa) and menu have changed a bit over time, the heart of this place has never changed--and that's what keeps us coming back. One thing that truly stands out is that this is a family‑owned restaurant, and you can feel the care, pride, and love they put into their food and service. It adds a level of warmth and authenticity that you just don't get everywhere. Our group ordered a wide range of dishes, and not a single plate was left with food on it. Several guests tried the special fried rice, while one had the chicken fried rice. Everyone loved their meals so much that I even ordered an extra fried rice to take home. We also enjoyed a great selection of sushi, including a few rolls we had never tried before. Their sushi roll prices are the best in the area, yet the quality remains consistently excellent. The sashimi we ordered was fresh, beautifully presented, and did not disappoint. One guest ordered the noodles with shrimp and said it was the best they'd ever had. To top it off, the restaurant has a surprisingly wide variety of Asian beers at very reasonable prices. The beers we tried were a big hit with the group and paired perfectly with the food. The service was another highlight of the night. Our waiter was wonderful--attentive, friendly, patient, and on top of everything our large party needed. Managing a group of 14 isn't easy, but he handled it flawlessly and made us feel well cared for. My fiancé asked him a lot of questions on some of dishes and he was very knowledgeable. After more than a decade of visiting, this birthday dinner reminded me exactly why this place has remained one of our family favorites. Delicious food, great prices, warm service, and the heart of a family‑owned business that truly values what they do. Highly recommend for both special occasions and everyday meals. There is plenty of parking for a big party and lots of space inside. They were packed and it was 5 days before Christmas.

Worst crab boil I have ever had in my life! As someone who has a grasp on culinary affectation AND…read moreknows Lowcountry cuisine on account of my upbringing... No. Being located in Connecticut versus New Orleans, Georgia, Florida or Maryland does not give you a hall pass to sell over-priced seafood that is not up to edible standards/fresh. No crab seasoning dusting AT ALL. Crab was freezer burned with grit on the shell. I got the special sauce + the hottest level. Red water. So diluted and devoid of flavor. The "boil" was literally the consistency of water. That's not a boil. They likely have pots of unseasoned water that they ladle in the bag post steaming. So bland, zero love and not at all authentic. Also-- small russet potatoes were not cleaned prior to being cooked whole and are rigid/raw in the center. Over-cooked shrimp. Boil base has ZERO flavor and likely just MSG + coloring. Disrespectful. Wrong potatoes, wrong process, wrong chef, wrong seasonings, aged crab, wrong everything. My meal was 'to go'. If dined in?! Absolutely not. Nope. I would have left it on the table! Trust me-- I'm calling my bank and if they want to FaceTime the food in the trash... fine by me. I can't eat this. There is dirt in the sauce and all of the elements because they did not clean the crab, shrimp + potatoes. There were two rotten potatoes in my bag and freezer burned snow crab clusters... disgusting. Hit "The Boil" in NYC, "Juicy Crab" in MD-- even "Hook & Reel" in Orange, CT. That's where you get real Cajun flavor profiles and actual spice! This restaurant has zero business serving seafood boils. Really, really subpar.

The karage chicken was made fresh, very crispy and moist! The bao bun pork was really good, and it was served with a some type of soy sauce , unfortunately the double umami flavors didn't mesh to well, it said there should've been a hoisen sauce but I did not see it. That would've easily fix that dish and balanced it with a sweet and savory combo. The ramen was solid, egg was seasoned and cooked just right. The broth was good and mixed well with the chili oil. The pork was a good portion of meat with it being both lean and fatty in certain spots. Unfortunately I thought it was missing flavor/marinade, it was quite bland by itself. Overall very satisfied with the experience here, food was good and it stands out as Asian spot in this predominately seafood heavy area.

It was a bit above average for the area and prices were better than I've seen elsewhere. My husband and I dined in on a Saturday around 6 pm. The place was already slammed with online orders and it did not stop the entire hour or so we spent in the building. Everything is disposable even when dining in and eating out of styrofoam isn't my preference but ok. It's a small establishment and I would guess the overwhelming majority of their business comes through online ordering. So, order online rather than go in as there is no real ambiance. I tend to order pretty basic rolls and sashimi which I think really levels the playing field when it comes to sushi. So, my commentary on the sushi is just based on the quality of the fish. It was alright not particularly vibrant or fresh. But not bad either. The pieces of sashimi were literally the biggest I've ever seen. They were too big to comfortably one-bite. The spicy tuna roll was pretty good and didn't require soy sauce to make it palatable. The miso soup was also good. My husband loved their salad dressing. If we decide to order again I would skip the sashimi and probably order some à la cart nigiri to form my final opinion. The search for a truly killer sushi place around here continues.
