He was attentive offering suggestions and when I mentioned it was my moms bday, he brought her out a tiramisù with a candle and we sang to her. No prompting, just genuine kindness. He suggested a sushi roll that was quite good when my mom explained she likes basic rolls and I was trying to spice it up. He brought us a crunch roll, with crab and shrimp tempura. It was delicious. We both had terryaki; my mom had the chicken and I had the steak. They were both amazing. The rice was flavorful and the proteins were delicious, the veggies nice and fresh. The miso soup honestly stole the show as it was literally perfect tasting. Not too watery, very strong and misoie. We will definitely be back when we're in the area

I stopped in for some last-minute items for Super Bowl weekend, and it was perfect for that kind of run. The store is clean, well-organized, and everything looks fresh and well curated. You can tell they focus on quality. That said, it is on the pricier side, so I personally wouldn't make it my go-to for weekly grocery shopping. But for a filler week, specialty items, or when you just need a few good-quality things quickly, it's a solid choice. I'll definitely be back for those in-between trips.

Now let's talk about the drinks. My husband loves a strong cocktail, so he went with the Scorpion Bowl, which gave him all the nostalgic vibes of his college days ordering a Zombie. He was extremely happy with it. I ordered the Pomegranate Flirtini, and it was absolutely delicious. Service was solid, they were extremely attentive and the music was excellent. For starters, I had miso soup and edamame (my go-to favorites), while my husband ordered a few sushi rolls. I wrapped things up with the basil shrimp fried rice, which was chef's kiss perfection. I'm pretty sure we'll be back again before we leave the state. This spot is definitely a must-try!

The side of white rice was in a plastic container (not the traditional oyster pail box). Due to the heat, the plastic lid got warped and had me thinking if it released hazardous fumes into the food.... The order of chicken and broccoli was different than the typical chicken and broccoli commonly found elsewhere. The chicken....was actual chicken. As if it was an actual chicken breast cooked and cut up. It didn't have that soft, spongy and almost boiled feel that we are used to. The flavor was a little bland as well. The roast pork lo mein was decent. The crab rangoons were shaped like purse pouches (not the usual triangles elsewhere). Those rangoons were probably the best ones I've had in a long time and they were accompanied by a good amount of dipping sauce. Would we order again? Not sure. That chicken and broccoli was too weird and unfamiliar for us.

Three and a half stars…read more Do you want the "feel" of authentic Japanese, but don't really care two cents which culture your sushi comes from? Well, then this place is for you! Like the Eiffel tower at Vegas, or watching killer whales at Sea World is your experience at August Moon. An asian host dressed in yukata (casual kimono) welcomes you at the door with a Japanese greeting. Asian sushi chefs, also wearing Japanese outfits, tirelessly work at sushi bars. You gaze at the Japanese prints hanging on the walls, waiting quietly for your food to come, half listening to the quiet, calm Asian music. By being Asian, this place subtly gives you the message that you are indeed being "cultured". But if you know anything about Japan, don't expect to start a conversation about Japan here. Don't even try to pronounce your dishes correctly, because waiters or waitresses don't know how to pronounce them either. So, what if you have many fooled, August Moon. I'll still come visit you, because you love me enough to give me 1/2 price on sushi every Monday and Tuesday nights. Besides, you're the closest thing to California rolls here in Branford, even if you don't roll them as tightly as I like them. Who cares if your food isn't Japanese, if it tastes right. California rolls were never invented in Japan anyway.

This is my parent's favorite sushi restaurant. They are known by name and are always seated at the…read moresushi bar so the chef can give them free tastes of whatever he feels like springing on them. It's good to be their offspring so when we go, it's always a good time. However, the restaurant is run by Chinese, so be warned (some people seem to have something against Chinese running sushi restos). The space is enormous and flourescent lit and looks to me like a repurposed diner, but then again, this is the burbs. The special rolls are very good, and the sushi is always fresh. Make sure you check the specials sign at the bar for whatever creation the sushi chefs have recently come up with. All the standards are here, nothing unexpected. Ice cream mochi for desert, check. Warm or cold sake, check. Various udons, tempuras, and bento boxes, check. This is neither a bad nor a stellar sushi/japanese resto. It is simply adequate to good, but would get an extra half a star for having a rather extensive menu. Packed around 6 or 7 when suburban dwellers typically eat dinner, but nearly empty after 8:30pm.
