    It's not often that I would drive nearly an hour just for sushi, but Mr. J Asian Bistro is worth it! All of the fish was noticeably fresh and high-quality, and we were impressed by the presentation of some of their creative rolls. I like that they also serve Chinese and Thai dishes here, and even though we only had Japanese dishes on this visit, we look forward to coming back and trying more. Everything arrived to the table quickly, and the staff were kind and attentive. The restaurant itself had a nice vibe, and we sat across from the sushi bar which was exceptionally clean. I highly recommend checking them out, you won't be disappointed!

    This is my Favorite go-to Authentic Chinese Food Restaurant. I order plant based food, but of course they offer an assortment. (They also offer Sushi and Thai.)

    Always love it here... whether it be for sushi or amazing Chinese or Thai. Always delicious food and great service.

    Shrimp Lo Mien
    Dave J.

    Heard mixed reviews from coworkers/Yelp, and decided to try it out for myself. I was not disappointed, and ate the best meal I've had in a while! The food is amazing, and the price is right for the cuisine. However, the portions are big and very good. Wasn't feeling hungry after my meal. Their Lo Mien is very light compared to others I've had in the past and still tastes good; if you're not a fan of overly salty Asian cuisine, this is the place to go. They offer a large selection of Asian food, from multiple cultures. This place will satisfy any palate. Don't let the price tag deter you from trying this location! The service here was outstanding, with the staff greeting my party when we entered, helping us to our table, and serving us. Very sociable with my party and other patrons, and very attentive. Servers came by whenever I was low on water and refilled it. Overall great staff that do good work! The ambiance of this restaurant was very pleasant. Although I've heard this place is popular for its takeout, dining is was just as much a great experience. The atmosphere can get a tad loud with a lot of people, however it was pretty empty when I went (due to takeouts popularity). If you decide to dine in, you'll be treated to a lovely atmosphere with pretty artwork and decor. They give you glass plates, silverware, and reusable napkins. Though this place is more casual, you still feel clean and upscale. Will come again, and found a new favorite place for food in the area!

    Curry chicken and white rice

    I have no idea why my wife and I haven't come to this restaurant yet. A few weeks ago, we were at one of the casinos and had a great meal at an upscale, sit down Asian place. We have been looking for something similar in our area, and after a quick search, we found Mr Js. We made a reservation through Google Assistance, and it was easy. We arrived for our dinner this Saturday and the place was busy. There is a sit-down bar to the right as you enter, a sushi sit-down bar up front and a decent sized dining room. We were quickly shown our seats ,got menus, and began to settle in. We ordered a couple of signature cocktails, a blue China for my wife and a pear martini for me. They arrived quickly and were great. The menu covers a variety of Asian cuisine, from sushi to Thai,Japanese, and traditional Chinese. We started with the mini crispy spring rolls, 8 to an order with a duck sauce on the side. Word of warning, the arrived as hot as molten lava, so be careful. With that said, they were excellent, crispy on the outside and almost creamy inside. We continued the meal with 2 vegetarian sushi rolls. The aac roll, avocado, asparagus and cucumber which was fresh and light and a vegetable tempura roll which was equally delicious. Unfortunately, I attacked the rolls before I realized that I hadn't gotten a pic. The rolls were accompanied with a good sized dollop of Wasabi and picked ginger. For dinner, we ordered another round of drinks, this time my wife tried the pear martini and I got the ichinon(?). We decided to split the curry chicken entree off the Chinese section of the menu. It arrived hot and just what we were looking for. Crisp vegetables and juicy chicken in a light,curry sauce. A great meal. We are so happy we found Mr. Js.

    Love this place! Japanese, Chinese, and Thai all done well, all very fresh! Right now they are only open for take out but they are super fast, and it usually only takes 10 mins for an order. They have a great selection and they are super detail oriented so they are sure to include utensils and sauces. Cannot go wrong with anything on the menu!

    Sushi Rolls!

    Yes, yes, yes! Waiters are very polite, been there plenty of times and never any issues. A beautiful setting, fits for any occasion. They have the best food! So many options on the menu for not just sushi rolls but various soups and curries. They provide a ton of options such as Thai food, Chinese, Hibachi & Japanese!

    Spicy tuna, salmon, and yellowtail.  Hard to tell which is which and they all kinda tasted the same anyway.

    Hachiroku Shokudo & Sake Bar is a real find. Good Japanese food is hard enough to track down, and…read morefinding it in New Haven feels like a huge victory. Prices run a bit high, but the quality of the ingredients more than make up for it. The Jako Salad (4.5/5) is a favorite of mine. It perfectly mixes peppery arugula and crisp radish with a poached egg, fried baby anchovy, bonito flakes, and nori. The baby anchovy gives a sweet/salty crunch that tastes like my childhood. Every bite swings between fresh and umami in a really creative way. The harasu don (5/5) is pure richness in a rice bowl. Grilled salmon belly and salmon roe together are incredibly rich, almost to the edge of too much, but the warm rice underneath keeps it grounded and turns it into a perfect comfort dish. The giant octopus sashimi (4/5) is a great counterbalance, cleanly sliced with a firm, fresh bite that lightens things up. The fresh tofu with uni (5/5) might be my favorite plate. The tofu is ultra delicate, and the rich uni on top adds a briny depth. With the simple seasonings on the side, it's a savory panna cotta. If they ever did a dessert version with ginger syrup, I would be here daily. Sashimi here is excellent (5/5). You get a balanced mix of fatty cuts like otoro and leaner ones like akami, along with hamachi, katsuo, and octopus. The variety lets you move between clean and rich bites at your own pace. A side note. Every so often a piece of yamamomo shows up on the plate (small red berries), a little mountain peach that is sweet enough to outshine most desserts. It may just be a palette cleanser, but it is a personal 10/5 for me. So good! Both indoor and outdoor seating feel comfortable, and service was on point: kind, attentive, and well timed. Overall, this is a standout Japanese option that I would highly recommend if you're ever in New Haven.

    Hachiroku was a highly anticipated place after being nominated for Restaurant of the Year in New…read moreHaven County for Connecticut Restaurant Association's annual Crazies awards so I had it on my list of must go to restaurants. I have also never been to a sake bar. Have to say....I was underwhelmed. We came in last Friday and apparently it was slow because Yale was off (according to our waiter). If a restaurant is good they should not be slow on a Friday night. We sat by the door on a cold night and there were two other couples practically on top of us. Rest of the seating are high tops against a wall by the bar or up the stairs on another level. We would have liked to sit upstairs but they were closing off that area. Menu was complex as the restaurant is authentic Japanese. Lots of beef options. Lots of Wagyu. I was hoping to be blown away by this restaurant trying something different. I was struggling trying to find something to order that sounded appetizing. I knew going in that this place was authentic Japanese but I don't know, nothing sounded great to me. I love mushrooms so I got the Mixed Kinoko Mushroom appetizer which was $15. To add scallops was another $8. Mushrooms were tasty. Scallops were not. $23 for a small dish. I also got the pork short ribs. Not a ton of meat on them, however, nice flavor. I was still hungry after this so I ordered a dessert which was the best part of the meal. They get some of their desserts from Hen & Heifer which is a well established place in Guilford. I got the Ube Panna cotta. Boyfriend got the Black cod Yu-an Yaki and upgraded to add the salad, pickles and rice for $3 more. The pickles were maybe two bites. Salad tasty but again, very small. He said the cod was just ok too. Very small portions and pricey for what you get. $30 for a mini sake flight. Not impressed with how it was served either. Small tasting glasses just placed on the table with no description. The server explained which was which, but I didn't remember. Not sure if he didn't care or this is how it's normally served, but if you go to a wine bar/brewery, they provide descriptions with flights usually written underneath the glass, or at least serve it in something. Not just tiny glasses placed on a table where you have no idea what you're having. Especially for $30! I was not impressed with this place whatsoever. As this is part of a newer restaurant group with a few different locations nearby in New Haven, we then went to their cocktail Lounge on crown street (116 Cocktail Bar) thinking it might be better, however we were equally disappointed. It was dead in there and the bartenders were miserable. They couldn't wait to get out of there. I have heard that their hand roll bar is very good (Handroll on State St). We have been to their Grocery Store called The Loop and it's cute. They have a brunch at the Grocery/Kitchen location that looks really good. They also have a wine lounge at The Loop that I'd like to try.

You could tell moms were being celebrated everywhere, families were out enjoying themselves, and despite the crowd, the atmosphere still felt fun and lively instead of stressful. They offer an all-you-can-eat menu with a huge variety of sushi, seafood options, and buffet station, which definitely felt worth the price considering how much food is available. Without a reservation, the wait looked pretty long, so I'd definitely recommend calling ahead on holidays or weekends. Even with how crowded it was, the service stayed good throughout the night. The ordering system uses tablets at the table, and because of how busy it was, a few of my orders didn't go through the first time. I mentioned it to our server and he immediately addressed the issue, made sure I reordered everything, and continued checking in to make sure our food was arriving correctly. I also appreciated how accommodating the staff was. I asked for a chicken sushi roll and they made one for me I did have to reorder the seafood boil before receiving it, but the servers stayed attentive, communicated with us, and handled concerns professionally the entire time. What stood out most was that despite the chaos, everyone still seemed to be enjoying themselves. The staff was clearly working hard, but they stayed friendly and attentive throughout the Mother's Day rush. Overall, the food was good, the vibe stayed positive, and it still ended up being an enjoyable holiday dinner with friends and family. Definitely a spot I'd come back to; just with a reservation next time
