Extremely Burnt Salmon

My food definitely DID NOT look like these pictures. $26 for burnt rock hard salmon and 4 baby shrimp is just ridiculous. Grilled and burnt are 2 different things. The man that was working acted like I was bothering him when I tried to order.

Chicken & Steak Veggie Bowl
Lacey W.

The flavors is pretty good I really enjoyed it. My only problem was the price I get it price is going up on food everyday but $17 for a plate of food that have a lot of rice and a small portion size for the meat is a tad bit ridiculous. If I feel like spending almost $20 on a plate of food without a beverage I would. I do recommend you give them a try because the food does taste good.

First time here... menu is kind of confusing so I had to ask. I wound up ordering the chicken and beef bowl. Two meats, rice, cabbage and carrots. Took about 5 minutes to get my food. The bowl is the size of a small black plate/bowl at a Chinese restaurant, for comparison. I must say the meat was seasoned and cooked to perfection. The veggies were cooked but not to my taste regarding seasoning. My issue is for 17.00 too much rice and not enough meat. I understand COVID, UKRAIN WAR and whatever else is driving prices up BUT not that much. If the portions were more in line with the price point, I would be here regularly because the food is good and not fried to death. ‍

I found this hidden gem when searching for healthy restaurants in my area. This is my second time eating here, it was so good I am going to come back often ! The restaurant is very clean and quiet. A nice place to eat in at. Their food is affordable, delicious, and simply amazing. I personally really like their message of no msg, oils, and using fresh ingredients. It didn't take them long to prepare my food, staff was very sweet. Along with my Chicken and Steak veggie bowl I also got a mango soda! Would recommend this place!!

If you're looking for a healthy lunch spot, HFT defines health! HFT stands for healthy, fresh, tasty and that's exactly what they state in their mission statement. HFT delivers and is consistent!! The meals here are portioned to perfection and priced even better. My only issue with this establishment is the customer service, if that changed I would recommend this place to everyone! and give it 5 stars. Also the ambiance is dull, it's clean but no music ever... just the sounds of cooking and refrigerators. If I'm dining in somewhere I want to feel welcomed, this place is structured better for take out. If you need a healthy '' meal prepped" styled lunch, give this place a try!!

This place deserves 10 stars fresh ingredients and always made to order. I love going here I have tried almost everything on the menu and would definitely eat all of it again. I would highly recommend for lunch or dinner. I have never been disappointed by going to this restaurant. It is a little tricky to find on route five but once you do you'll keep going back.

Bibimbop mixed bowl without rice (HEALTHY)
Jacky N.

Generally this is not a typical place I would review but the food was unexpectedly delicious. So I was passing by the area and needed a quick bite to fuel my discounted shopping on the main strip. Upon a quick search, HFT pops up and the girlfriend, aka the decision-maker, aka my master, decided to give it a try. To be frank, I wasn't expecting much. The location, the space, the ambience was eerily normal. So much so, that I was just planning to speed eat, trying to not further delay my aquisition of a coffee mug for 40% off. So I ended up with the bibimbop(mixed rice bowl) and my girlfriend got the bulgogi steak / chicken bowl. What followed next shook me down to the core and made me reevaluate life. The bibimbop was unexpectedly authentic... Nicely seasoned and fresh vegetables with a bite. It was authentic but also healthier version of bibimbop. The steak/chicken bowl was delicious too, but I prefer slightly less teriyaki sauce as I'm generally not a fan of sweet beef unless it's alive. HFT is a hidden gem and if I ever travel back to CT, I'll definitely make another stop here...on my own accord this time.

HFT Grill Steak & Chicken Veggie Bowl

"Tantalizing Teriyaki" HFT Grill is a great find amongst all of the typical fast food joints on route 5. The food is prepared almost as fast as a fast food restaurant, but it's fresh, healthy, and delicious. HFT Grill is located in a small plaza with Casanova Ink Tattoo Shop and Shimmer Hair Salon. The tattoo shop's sign is more eye catching than HFT's so keep your eye out for the word "Ink" to find it. Very easy to pass by if you're not paying attention. But the inside of HFT Grill is clean, bright, and eye catching. I had the Steak & Chicken Veggie Bowl. White rice topped with cabbage, carrots, and broccoli on one side and tender shaved steak and chicken on the other side. And then a heavy drizzle of their tantalizing teriyaki sauce. The teriyaki sauce is very delicious. I would prefer chunks of meat rather than the shaved pieces, but it was still excellent. You're getting a meal for under ten dollars that's healthy and satisfying. Plus it blows away anything from the list of fast food restaurants in the area.

Hachi - Sushi and sashimi lunch set

Hachi

(210 reviews)

My friends and I came to Hachi looking for a different sushi place. This place had some good…read morereviews so we decided to check it out! We came on a Friday evening and it was full but they were able to find us a table quickly. Inside, the place has a very casual feel and I honestly wasn't sure what we were going to get when we ordered. Just to say, looks were deceiving, but in a good way! The food was at a different (better) level than the ambience in the room. Basically, don't worry about how the place looks - you will love the food. Our waitress was sooo nice and friendly. We got our drinks quickly and ordered right away. Though we came for sushi, we were all mesmerized by the entree options and opted to try the bento boxes. I'm used to small bento boxes with tightly portioned foods and the "basics." What we got surprised us all. These bento boxes were actually huge plates of food. A full order of vegetable tempura, a whole California roll, entree, soup and gyoza. We barely made it through a quarter of it! And it was delicious! I got the chicken teriyaki and the chicken was so tender. The tempura was fried perfectly and the gyoza had a great flavor. All in all, I recommend you try this place out! Is it a fancy date night place? No. Is it a super casual date night place? Yes! Try the bento - you won't be disappointed! 4/5 stars only because they should spruce up the inside to match their amazing food!

This place is amazing. The food was absolutely delicious. Probably the best fried rice we've ever…read moreeaten. Their tempera rolls were delicious. The most amazing dish was the tuna with crushed candied mango cranberries, and patachios

First the edamame was best we have had. I always get the chili garlic edamame at most places but this was different- soy sauce tigashi maybe? Not sure but so good! No sushi (yet!) it's coming! I have a picky eater and no hibachi places serve chicken nuggets (it's always tempura chicken) but this place does with fries at that! My 3 year old was super happy because he loves the show but not the food so he got to eat and enjoy this time. My 1 year old ate everything. We had the seafood combo and shrimp and salmon both were excellent. Now the sauces- when hibachi first came to CT I loved both sauces but lately they have been so gross everywhere - well we both poured both sauces all over our food and got more. Everything was clean and new and they have a menu of dry aged steaks , tacos and other items in their regular part of the restaurant which is quite large as well. Overall a Christmas Eve well spent and we will be back!

Sakana Asian Bistro

Sakana Asian Bistro

(49 reviews)

I was so pleasantly surprised from our first visit at Sakana that I had to make a return trip later…read morethe same week. It was a humble reminder that you don't need to go to a culinary destination to find good food. Cheshire Connecticut may not be known for its food scene, however, I found Sakana was a genuine diamond in the rough. My expectations were admittedly low going in. My level of skepticism is always high when I see the "Asian Bistro" moniker, as it is frequently used for restaurants to try to appeal to the masses at the expense of quality by having a "jack-of-all-trades" menu that lacks the technical intricacies and mastery required for specific dishes. Additionally, these establishments tend to follow a "cookie-cutter" menu and offer the same boring dishes you can find at every other Asian Bistro. Even when initially walking towards the restaurant, I had my doubts. The exterior of Sakana honestly looked more like a clinic than a restaurant. Once I saw the menu however, my skepticism shifted towards optimism. For a local bistro, they feature a surprisingly extensive wine and cocktail menu, including premium sake options. I was particularly impressed to find toro on the menu; although it's undoubtedly becoming more of a trend in Connecticut, I was nevertheless happy to see it offered at Sakana as well. Overall I liked their sushi selections and everything I ordered was well-prepared and tasted fresh. We ordered a chicken and broccoli for our daughter and found the chicken tender and broccoli perfectly cooked. That may not sound impressive to those reading, but you'll be surprised how many restaurants fail to execute this baseline dish correctly. The service, although pleasant, was probably the only "weak link" of our experiences here. The quality of service was noticeably inconsistent between our two visits, and they would benefit vastly from having a more reliable and experienced front-of-house team to match the execution coming from the kitchen and sushi bar. Despite this minor gripe, Sakana was a standout. As long as I'm in the area, they will definitely be among the top of my list of places to eat!

So friendly. Is the food exceptional? To me no, but my parents enjoy it. Tonight we started with crab rangoons. Pretty good. Sauce on the side not very exciting. A chili sauce would be better. I got a sushi roll with White tuna inside and cooked shrimp on top and wasabi mayo. I forget the name of the roll but it was better than the two times I've ordered takeout. Miso soup was also good. Their soup bowls are in the shape of a heart which is super cute. Dad got some sort of a mixed protein dish with brown sauce (had shrimp, chicken and beef). Mom got the chicken and garlic sauce. They both got fried rice on the side. I tried it and it was very bland. Dad also got a salad with his meal and the ginger dressing was not very good. Red coloring to it. Usually ginger dressing is more on the orange side. Dad also got the Malaysian chicken coconut soup to start and it could use a bit more flavor. Was a bit watery. Mom loved her sweet and sour soup. Nice that this place is 5 minutes away. Cheshire needs more restaurants. Def not my fav restaurant in town though. Food to me is just ok.
