    My receipt

    I've had good food from this restaurant in the past, so I decided to try them again. I started out liking the sushi very much, but things changed as I continued. I'll start with what they did right. The spicy tuna roll was flavorful and the tuna was fresh. The Manhattan roll was cheesy, savory and delicious. I liked the Ultimate Veggie Roll because not many places have a vegetable-based roll on their special menu. It was crispy and the mayo sauce was great. The samurai roll was tasty and I liked how the eel and cream cheese complimented each other. The spicy dragon roll was my favorite: all flavors in the roll melded together nicely and it was very well done. If that's all I ordered, I would have given this place a 4. However, I ordered one other roll: the White House roll. The lobster tasted unusually fishy and it just seemed like something was off about it; it didn't seem fresh. I couldn't even finish it and my stomach started hurting slightly afterwards. I was so disappointed that I didn't take the final picture (the spicy dragon roll and White House roll were in the same container), but I took a picture of my receipt as proof that I bought and tried it. I called the establishment and they flat out told me that they weren't going to compensate me. That roll was the most expensive one I purchased. I don't complain to restaurants very often and I felt like they didn't care enough about my complaint. Minus one star for the bad sushi roll, minus another star for the bad customer service. It's a shame, really. I liked everything else I got. However, they should treat their customers better IMO.

    Avocado Roll

    Pretty decent sushi. Let it be known that I am not a seafood person at all. Not a single piece of seafood, nothing. Nada. So I do like avocado rolls and cucumber and who doesn't love a mixture. Ordered here as it's close by and I enjoyed it. What you see are actually 4 orders of each cucumber and avocado rolls and then avocado rolls by themselves. What I will say is that with a large order, I felt the actual size of the rolls were small, considering the quantity. I've ordered from other nearby places and this amount would've been quite larger. Otherwise, good experience.. ample parking, empty restaurant. I'd also suggest fixing the lighted sign as many of the bulbs are out and makes it look a bit seedy.

    S/o Fried Rice

    I stopped at this spot for a nice dinner on Valentine's. Food: As an Asian visiting the area, I was really looking for some comfort food. The filet mignon and shrimp combo hit the spot. It was also great that they had sushi options for appetizers. We got the New York roll, Gozilla roll, and Tiffany roll. The New York roll was a hit. Service: The wait staff were friendly and attentive. It was nice that they checked in with us throughout the meal. Our chef did not disappoint! Ambiance: They have a great layout and the energy was great throughout the night. We showed up at 6 and were seated immediately but the place definitely filled up by the time we were done. Come early if you want a spot!

    Second visit. Not from area, hell, im not even from the state! Lol. Thisbis a nice japanese restaurant with good sushi. This is steps from the Chevrolet and Mazda dealerships, so if you come to get your vehicle serviced, This is literally next door. If my sushi roll is anything like my last visit, I'll be a very happy lady. Its quiet and oh... The food has arrived and it smells good. Gotta eat! Ok. I have inhaled my sushi.... Delicious doesn't do it justice. While sitting here contemplating if I want something else, Terry, (a server) inquired... I suddenly remembered I love green tea ice cream. He lit up when I asked for it and waxed poetic about their fried ice cream. [IKR? FRIED...ICE CREAM?!?] Just from his big smile and twinkling eyes, its obvious Terry thinks its amazing... so of course I ordered it. This sounds interesting...Ill update later.

    Hair? This was in my rice. Gotta make sure to wear hair nets/caps. Good food otherwise as usual.

    Still great food from here. Just wanted to report that I found a hair in my rice. Hair nets and caps are essential to avoid this. But even then, I'm fully aware that accidents happen. I'll be coming back for more good eats.

    Honestly the freshest sushi in the Hamden area, and for the price.... Can't get any better. Servers are very attentive and checked on us multiple times. Our favorite roll was the fantasy roll, and the salmon Shashimi from here is a game changer.

    Shrimp Tempura Roll

    i ordered a pick up order. i walked in and it was empty i waited 5 mins to be attended, a party of 8 walked behind and was greeted right away?! got my order and went to eat it and the rolls were together? just huge pieces couldnt barely eat it, kept falling apart. just not worth the price.

    Ordered thru Uber so couldn't do Anything about it but $28 plus dollars for medium-rare steak that came way over cooked and was definitely complete waste of money. So sad was looking forward to a meal that so disappointed. As you can see it was very easy of them to tell it wasn't medium rare visually.

    Hopefully the environment can improve with renovation and all. And the food is overall good. I liked the fried rice with beef and egg.

We heard about the…read morebottomless mimosa brunch here at Cast Iron Chef Chop House & Oyster Bar so we pulled up to check it out! Here's how it went... Atmosphere/Appearance: Set right on the busy State Street is this gem. There's no private parking, but plenty of comfortable, spacious street parking right out front. Once inside you're immersed in a very fine-dining, elegant, laid-back atmosphere. Lots of woods, intimate-low lighting and upbeat music. I loved the vibes in here. The first room is your bar room where the rail is off to the left, but with plenty of seating to the right. If you continue through the room you enter the main dining room where it's all booths and other tables. Service: Stacey was our server. Things got off to a bit of a rocky start, but they smoothed out throughout the brunch. Food/Drinks: The mimosa was okay... It was REALLY strong because there's orange vodka and orange liqueur in it. It kinda killed the flavor for me because I'd prefer a traditional mimosa with minimal juice, but... no matter. They're bottomless... or supposed to be... Just be mindful of who your server is. Brunch can consist of a prix-fixed menu, which is what we did so we'll be going through that. First up were the Homemade Sausage Gravy and biscuits. These were super smothered and fantastic. Hot, savory, meaty, salty and even had a bit of a subtle sweetness. The biscuit was soft, butter and had crispy edges. Next up were the Cinnamon Rolls. These were HUGE. Lol. Like, how are we supposed to eat AND drink all of this stuff?! The exterior of the roll was crispy and the inside very soft. Not over-the-top sweetness or anything. These were very balanced. Next up were the Bananas Foster Pancakes. But this thing was enormous. It was so thick, like literally an inch thick. Lol. Fresh bananas sliced right on top, it cut like butter, was soft with the perfect crispy edges and these were AMAZING. Punch of sweetness up front, fluffy texture and just a great pancake. For dinner, this restaurant usually serves Cast Iron Popcorn instead of bread, so Stacey let us try it! It was smokey, a little-little sweet with a little bit of salt and maybe a hickory barbecue flavor. I liked it. Lastly, I chose the Steak & Eggs over Salmon & Eggs, but got to try both since my wife was with me. Each comes with gigantic fried potatoes, 3 eggs, a piece of toast, caramelized onions and your protein of choice. My steak was cooked perfectly (medium-rare). The flavors were excellent. It was a little fatty and just was done very well. Value: $64.96 for bottomless mimosas and the prix-fixe menu. Probably the best value brunch in the state. SO MUCH FOOD and strong drinks. I don't know what else you'd want! In conclusion, I really enjoyed myself here and have revisited since my first time! Everything was just as awesome as the first. Check this place out if you're in the area!

The menu does change so that dish wasn't listed this recent time that we went. It would be amazing if they brought it back as a permanent dish!!! For drinks, I loved by Buzzin in Bikini Bottom cocktail! It is my favorite! My fiancé liked the Negroni and Julep as well, but loved my drink above those.

Tonight I got the Arepa which apparently, I won't get again because it's the second time I've had it (not here the first time) and didn't care for it. The pulled pork on top was good though I just don't care for the dish itself. A bit bland. My picture unfortunately didn't come out good for that dish. My dad got the Panko Crusted Fish Sandwich and my mom got the nachos. They loved what they got. I've been in the past and had the pizza, the poutine, pork belly sandwich, etc. I'd love to try the crab dip and whipped ricotta someday. Fun spot.

They were the thick kind, and well executed. They offered salt and vinegar seasoning, which I had never seen before for rings. Very tasty. The vibe is kind of dark inside.

It isn't huge inside but they use the space so wisely. The kitchen is open to the bar so you can see and hear all the amazing things happening back there which really adds to the local neighborhood vibe. The bartenders there are very sweet and attentive, they help bring the whole experience there to 5 stars. I came on a Wednesday for the $17.99 lobster roll special and it was easily one of the best I've ever had. It is a quarter pound of lobster and you get actual lumps of claw and meat rather than the shredded stuff some other places serve. The butter it's sautéed in is seasoned delicately to accentuate the fresh lobster instead of covering up the taste. The portion was surprisingly large and it comes on a fresh bun that is lightly buttered and toasted. It even comes with a little cup of extra butter which I totally slathered on because I love butter! Every bite was so fresh and soft. The roll comes with fries and I did the optional $5 upcharge for the lobster bisque. That was also the best I've ever had because I've never seen bisque with such large chunks of lobster in it. It was just crazy good. Everything was well worth the price and I'd honestly come back even on days when it's not a special. They have something going on every night like the $9.99 burger and fries on Mondays, so that will definitely be my next reason to visit. I will be back for sure!
