If you are looking for an authentic Japanese restaurant experience then this is the place. From the moment you step through the door, you are met with a very relaxing environment: clean, well lit without being bright, and surprisingly spacious. We were sat by the window and found the seating very comfortable and sturdy. The view out of our window was mediocre but it didn't take away from our experience. Now, the food. We ordered sashimi, miso soup, rice, and seaweed salad. The plates were beautifully presented and very artistic. The miso soup and seaweed were delicious, which was a very good sign. The sashimi, was some of the best quality we have had in CT and this restuarant serves REAL Wasabi. We gambled and ordered Toro (fatty tuna) and were not disappointed. It was easily the best fatty tuna we have had in the US (better than expensive Manhattan toro), and was only beat out by Tokyo. The mackerel was also exquisite, and had a much lighter flavor than other mackerel with hints of ginger. Their fish quality was amazing. The service was also spectacular, quick, friendly, and kind. All in all, this is easily one of the best japanese restaurants we have been to and it deserves a chance, especially if you love sushi. Do not miss out, stop by today! read more

This is my go-to place for hibachi now. The restaurant itself is sleek, clean, and the owner is always out front thanking us for coming. The service is always consistently on point and quality of food is spectacular. I look forward to coming here any chance I can get! read more

Excellent will be back. Very tasty garlic chicken. They have a nice sized lunch menu that I appreciate very much. I dislike very large portions and still had leftovers from the lunch portion. My husband had shrimp pad Thai and he had leftovers as well. We also had guyoza that was nice. The meals came with miso soup and a salad. Mine also had a choice of white and brown rice. Great friendly service as well. read more

Drove 25 minutes here Tonight to take my daughters for hibachi. Great, clean place. The cooks and owner are paying attention to the details,. Every dish that went out was beautifully presented. The best part of the evening was that the hibachi Chef actually put a lot of effort into it! He took his time and was a lot of fun! Bravo Lately, the hibachi chefs we've been to (in Hamden) have seemed not to care about what they're doing and loose energy fast, cutting out the fun parts. Lots of fun things to look at decor-wise. We will be back soon. read more

First time at this FABULOUS restaurant! First, beautiful, sleek, modern and ambient! Staff friendly, attentive. The best thing was the FOOD! OMG! A friend and I decided to order a bunch of "sharable" appetizers. We had the Scallion pancake, tender, delicious served around a mini salad with the best ginger based dressing! Beef Negimaki, steak around scallions with sauce, was beefy, tender and very tasty! Shrimp Tempura was my favorite - deep fried jumbo shrimp with onion asparagus and sweet potato all delightfully coated with this LIGHT crispy coating - not greasy at all! Just so good! Veggie dumplings with sauce were tender and excellent. Crab Rangoon was good - crab meat, cream cheese and scallions inside a fried dough - delicious! Every plate was also very beautiful, too. The presentation was spot on! Anyway, I WILL BE BACK and can't wait! Just GO! read more

Fairly reasonably priced. The chef put on a great show and had our table laughing. The food unfortunately was average. The soup was not flavorful at all. The filet were surprisingly tough. The shrimp were very small compared to other places. The sushi looked very good. read more

Had reservations on the 11th. 7pm the hostess was far from personable. After no greeting she said we will be seating you shortly. At 7:40 we asked again . Now 12 people waiting behind us. At this point she could have said would you like a drink at the bar? Would you mind taking a non hibachi table(which should habe been offered) as she knew but didn't say. They were just cooking the food for about 15 people per hibachi table. Says little longer. Ok 815 still no table and once we realized they only have couple hibachi tables and cram a ton of people in. We realized wouldn't get seated until maybe 830. By the time they served beverages and took orders would be 9pm. We thought we'd be put by 9. Poor customer service and she was relieved we left. The entrance was packed read more

A random google search led my date and I to Misimi. We got there a little after 9:30p on a Saturday night and surprisingly we were the only ones there. We didn't mind though it was nice having a restaurant all to ourselves, and not having to worry about a long wait time. The interior is really nice and makes for a great date night. The staff were really nice and respectful. Our waiter was hospitable and so was our chef. The chef did however appear to be in training so the experience wasn't the best as far as hibachi entertainment goes especially compared to a let's say: Benihana--but we definitely understood that he was training so it was okay. Our food was delicious on the other hand and I do believe I got a pretty good bang for my buck. I'd return and hope that the chef will be more experience upon my next visit but overall delightful experience. read more

Went for lunch yesterday . I had the 2 roll special. They serve this with miso soup and salad with Ginger dressing. I am not a miso fan so I substituted their mushroom soup. The soup is good but a little salty. The salad was fresh and I love the ginger dressing. The sushi rolls were very good. The fish was very fresh. I have been here many times and every time I go I switch off from Hibachi to traditional Japanese food. If your in the area I would definitely check this place out. read more

I was grabbing some Peachwave enjoying a nice spring day when I noticed some hubbub outside the old Asian Bistro. Previous owner Bo has come back to restore this prime happy hour location to its old glory. We got a tour of the cleaning and upgrades he did to the place and very quickly my plans of leftovers for dinner turned into a great hibachi dinner with wonderful friends and family! The fine details have taken an upgrade! The mushroom soup was flavorful, the salad was more than just iceberg lettuce and ginger dressing, there was arugula and other things that I devoured too quickly to notice. The hibachi dinner was better than I remember! Steaks were fresh and a good portion. Chicken, shrimp scallops all looked fresh, smelled & looked great before being cooked, and tasted just as wonderful. Even the ginger sauce looked homemade and tasted better than the usual fare. I recommend coming in and giving this place a try. I look forward to coming back with more friends for sushi! read more

Grabbed take out today I would've gave them a higher score but when I placed my order I went over my order with the person on the phone and I made sure they had my order correct went picked my order up and they didn't add my crab Rangoon although they did t charge me I specifically went over the list with the person on the phone and they still got it wrong other than that the food is good and will try again but I will definitely make sure they get my order right read more

I used to go to Asian bistro back in the day .. but this place has changed looks the same but the food is not as good smaller portions & bad quality But what I was upset at was my sashimi had a fish bone in it. I told the waitress she asked what piece had a bone in it like she even cared then did nothing not even a single piece of sushi or sashimi. Or any discount just that's what get the rest is fine be happy I assumed she said The sushi and sashimi for two was good except the bone and the skin on the sea bass. The tuna rolls were very small too Not as good as other sushi places nearby like Human pan, mici , or wild kanji . The service was poor and food good not great.... Sad to see the place go down hill like this $100 lesson not to go there again read more

Lynn was a wonderful server ! We are so happy to see Misimi here and thriving. Our appetizers were beautifully presented and delicious. Drinks and main course hibachi and rolls were perfect. Thank you XOXO read more

The owner was very rude. He came up to my party with friends my first time going and was not friendly. I would not recommend going to this establishment there is a lot of better options nearby. read more

Once again returned for my birthday this year. Our chef was very animated and entertaining. Our waitress was very busy that night but you could tell she was trying her hardest and was wonderful. The manager here is so nice and makes you feel so welcome. As soon as we sat down with a couple other people at our table he came over and said hello and shook our hands. A few min later he returned to the table apologizing and asking us to switch over to a different table across from us. We of course said absolutely, not a problem at all. He then said for the inconvenience he would comp our drinks which was unnecessary but very appreciated. The food was excellent as we expected, but we were a bit disappointed as it seems like the portions have gotten smaller... we remembered getting quite a bit more rice and noodles and vegetables. The protein sizes were great and the same as we remembered though. The food is still great and the staff is wonderful so we'll definitely keep coming back. read more

The restaurant itself is Hugh - big bar area and lots of hibachi table... very clean The service was friendly and efficient. The food was pretty good ... not mind blowing- overall probably 4.5 stars ... but they earned a bump up. read more

Great hibachi especially the combos which I get every time I eat there such as steak and shrimp. Salad is included and although not stated on menu you get both noodles and rice. Love this place, I highly recommend read more

Always a good experience here. Great food, great service!! Definitely recommend doing reservations on weekends but they do a good job of taking care of their customers. read more

Every time I order through uber eats, I leave a note to include a side of spicy mayo and its never there! Very disappointing.

I legit eat here every weekend ! Love the owner great staff very clean ! The chicken broccoli and hibachi are my favorite dishes ! read more

I was feeling hangry and craving sushi and hibachi. Drove my husband crazy trying to decide where to go. Decided to stop in here due to reviews and one past experience that was good. Couldn't be happier with our decision. Food was delicious! I had the spicy crab and shrimp avocado sushi. It was fresh and perfectly made. My husband ordered the chicken and shrimp hibachi. Shrimp were plump medium sized and all was seasoned perfectly. I highly recommend this restaurant and will be back. read more

Good food. Pictured is the duck duck dish and the misimi duluxe. Would definitely order both again. Not pictured is the korean pancake which I also highly recommend! Will definitely be back next time I'm in town. Note that on Sundays, it actually opens at 12:30pm. Their website said 12noon, but google does say 12:30. We got here around 12:10 and they told us to give few minutes so they can finish cleaning and we were nicely seated 5 minutes later! read more

What a waste of money. New to Shelton and figured I'd give the top rated sushi spot a try. Where to begin. It was a to go order including various sushi rolls and one chicken habachi entree. The rolls were far too small, almost like mini size. The habachi chicken was the worst we have had in our entire lives. Bland, soaked in water, and don't even get me started on the noodles. The soup was actually quite good. What a complete waste of 50$. read more

As long as you order in a non prime, everything is A-Mazing. And the recycling bags are my #1 bags!!

Good sushi and dinner entrees! I've dined in and ordered through grub hub and I'm always satisfied. Nice interior and friendly staff.

I was taken here for my birthday dinner with my family. A fun time was had by all and our chef had plenty of personality. Very entertaining! It's almost like the delicious food was a bonus. I recommend the steak, but even my vegetarian daughter was very happy. read more

Excellent food, drinks, and entertainment from the Hibachi chef. This includes steak, shrimp, scallops and chicken, as well as the fried rice and noodles. Especially liked the Zombies and Mai-Tais. read more

My friend and I really enjoyed our dinners here! The rolls are quite big, very filling, and fresh tasting. The kitchen was very accommodating when we had some substitution requests for food allergies. Each party wa seated very far away from each other to implement social distancing. read more

It was awesome our chef was great. And we got 2 scorpion bowls they tasted so good. They give you noodles and fried rice with the hibachi. In Connecticut. read more

I have some fish/shellfish allergies so I ordered a chicken tempura roll and a spicy tuna roll (a fish I CAN eat.) The website says nothing about topiko on either of these but I ordered and what do you know, topiko on both. Seems pretty dangerous to just add stuff to menu items without letting customers know. I can kinda understand on the spicy tuna but On the CHICKEN though? What genius thought that was a good idea? Don't you think someone ordering chicken "sushi" rolls is not interested in fish of any kind? read more

Tomorrow is my thirteenth birthday... finally a teenager. My mom made a reservation 2 WEEKS in advance just to make sure everything is perfect. Today the restaurant calls my mom and says we gave your reservation away to a bigger party. My party is in 2 days they ruined everything. All the owner cares about is money don't go there the food is bad anyways. I'm never going back. Thanks for nothing misimi you ruined my birthday. WOULD GIVE ZERO STARS IF POSSIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

The food wasn't bad but the customer service was terrible. I stood in the lobby for 30mins waiting for my food and no one even said a word to me but would talk to the people who came in after me. Only reason I got my food was because I went up to the table and found my name then went up to the lady and interrupted her doing nothing and told her my order is there. I don't want to accuse anyone of anything but I'm a young black man so you do the math. read more

Pretty expensive but very entertaining. Food was pretty solid. Overall definitely worth it.

I tried regular dinner and happy hour here. Happy hour is superb! Very nicely priced. The rolls taste a little too sesame oil, but still reasonable for the price. read more

Went to Misimi for the first time since it was the Old Asian bistro. I had the sushi combo and my wife had the sesame chicken. Both were fantastic as well as the edamame starter. Service was good. The edamame was forgotten and served with our entrees but no biggie. Will definitely go back again. read more

I love the food here! Especially their spicy crunchy shrimp/ crab rolls, they taste amazing!! I would definitely also recommend coming here for the hibachi, the service was great and like I said I love their food! They are also doing a great job during Covid keeping customers safe by checking your temperature when you come in, having hand sanitizers displayed and keeping the restaurant clean. read more
