One might reasonably, though wrongly, infer from the absence of recent reviews that many moons have…read morepast since my wife and I last savored the food from Seven Moons and that is on me. In actuality only the Strawberry moon has risen and set since I last rose from my recliner to pick up a takeout order at this restaurant. This evening's meal, as has been the case on many prior evenings, included pad Thai and hot basil stir-fry accompanied by jasmine rice, both of which included grilled shrimp. Speaking of grilled shrimp, 8 were included with the pad Thai while the hot basil hosted 9 more. Portion size of both dishes was sufficient that leftovers will be served at a dinner to be held in the future. Before I close out this review, I should mention quality and price, the former is the best in the area while the latter remains very reasonable.

The drunken noodles had real flavor and actual spice--thank you for not watering it down! You can tell they stayed true to the dish, and I appreciated that. The duck roll was good overall. I personally would've liked the sauce on the side and the wrap a bit thinner, but flavor-wise it was definitely there. The winter shrimp was solid too--nothing that blew me away, but still good. I didn't come for the ambiance, but it still gave a nice cultural vibe. Service was smooth--I called in my order and they answered right away, no issues at all. I'll definitely be back because there are a few more things on the menu I've got my eye on

Amazing food. Great flavors…read more Beautiful dishes. Friendly service. Great relationship with their customers Hole in the wall--the best kind. Able to deal with nut and sesame allergy. Chef/cook knew what had already gone into the oil and cooks the food to order. It's all fresh and beautiful! Drunken noodle Well seasoned. Large and generous chunks of vegetable. Chicken was tender. 5/5 Fried rice with duck. Tender duck. Well seasoned dish. Generous chunks of vegetables. Tender rice. Just the right consistency. 10/5. Kid said that's the best duck dish he's had. And we're never going to find a duck dish better than that. (Agree in white america this is prob the best duck we've had. Including the more shi-shi restaurants and local Chinese restaurants. Disagree that we will not find the equal somewhere.) Red snapper with honey sauce. 5/5. Beautiful. Generous portion. Strawberry bubble tea 5/5 Chicken dumplings 5/5. Good sauce. Pretty vegetable Garnish. Tasty dumplings. Small place. Only 3 tables and few seats along the front window. They didn't have a larger table open. Some regular customers actually love the owners so much that they moved to the window seating so we could sit together as a family. And said we needed to really enjoy our meal as it would be amazing. And it was!!! Amazing! Now the gold standard for restaurants. We're going to have to drive to Connecticut to get the best Thai??! 10/5. Highly recommend!! Eat here!!! Or get it to go!!!

Dinner solo date at Kob Jai and honestly... this was the reset I needed…read more The vibe? Super chill, very clean, and beautifully decorated. It's quiet enough to actually enjoy your meal, but still has a warm mix of families, couples, and small groups. Definitely a spot you can dress up for or just come as you are. Now let's talk FOOD Presentation, flavor, and spice level? 10/10. Chicken spring rolls: crispy, fresh, and not greasy Drunken noodles with shrimp: perfectly sauced with just the right kick Pineapple fried rice with chicken (to go): I already knew it would hit... and it did The ingredients tasted fresh, portions were solid, and the prices are very affordable. Service was friendly and welcoming, which always makes a difference. This is a perfect spot for date night, lunch, or a solo reset moment when you just want good food and good energy ‍ Okay but tell me: what should I try next time?

We had a wonderful meal at Kob Jai to celebrate a birthday. Appetizers came out fast, hot (and…read moreappropriately cold) and tasty: golden bags, fried calamari, and fresh rolls. Dinners included a delicious and hard-to-find Northern Thai noodle dish: Khao Soi, and crispy chicken Pad Thai - one of the best we've ever had - so flavorful. Excellent, friendly service is another big reason we love coming here. Lovely decor in a spotless space, with plenty of parking outside. Help support a local business, not a chain, and you'll be happy you chose Kob Jai.

The broth is so clean and light -- you can tell its depth of flavor is from the beef/bones and aromatics, not heavy fats and salts. The pork egg roll was also tasty and came out freshly fried. Service is extremely fast and friendly, we were in and out in 25 minutes. The space is clean and welcoming with nice natural light (it's a house) and plenty of seating. We had no problem finding parking in the back. I left feeling comfortably full and satisfied. We will definitely be back when we pass through the area again.

Pho and Grill is a Vietnamese restaurant in the Cromwell and Glastonbury area that brings a great…read morevibe and food to the region. I walked into a space where the owners were warm and engaged in a way that came through consistently, and the restaurant had the feel of a place run with real investment in what comes out of the kitchen. The pho is the centerpiece and it earns that position. I tried the broth, which was light and clean, built with depth rather than heaviness, and the beef was tender throughout. The short rib and oxtail versions are the ones to order when available, and the brisket is the reliable fallback when they are not. The rare steak and tendon option is worth trying for anyone who wants to go further into the menu. I also ordered the pork vermicelli bowl, another strong choice, with well seasoned pork and fresh vegetables that held up against the noodle base. It came with a spring roll component that added to the overall value of the dish. The banh mi was flavorful and well assembled, and the fresh rolls were worth ordering alongside whatever else I got. Vietnamese iced coffee and Thai tea were both solid and complemented the food well. Service was friendly, and the owners were visibly present and genuinely hospitable. The restaurant accommodates families well, with the kitchen going out of its way on small details like kid friendly utensils and high chairs that make the experience easier for parents. For Vietnamese food in this part of Connecticut, it is the kind of spot worth going out of my way for.

"Down to the banana republics, things aren't as warm as…read morethey seem None of the natives are buying any second-hand American dreams" (Jimmy Buffett) Lunch at the Banana Leaf was a real triad of contrasts, as we had very positive reactions to their atmosphere and food but a very different experience with service. First of all, the décor is very pretty, with a thatched roof/tiki bar-like design at their small bar, painted designs and artwork on the walls, pretty light fixtures, sculptures, and Tiffany style glass. There is plenty of room between the tables, so you really have a sense of privacy and are not crowded at all. I love Thai food, and I loved my lunch. I ordered a small Coconut Tom Yum soup ($6), and it was a10/10. It had the coconutty mildly spiced hot and sour flavor I love and was loaded with chicken, A big bowl of just that soup would have been enough for my munch any day of the week. I also ordered their Spicy Eggplant with Squid ($18) stir-fried with bamboo shoot, snow peas, string beans, carrots, bell peppers and basil leaves in spicy basil sauce. It was served with a side of white rice. It was a great example of why I love Thai food because the flavor was fantastic. The portion was big enough that we brought home half for another day. Now, as far as we experienced, the real clunker here was the service. Perfunctory, unsmiling, non-engaging, robotic are words that come to mind. What a shame, because just a little effort really would have made a big difference.

So this was my first time trying a vegan restaurant .. which was recommend to me by my friend …read more I will say I'm not vegan and neither is my husband but I wanted to bring my mom and sister who are vegetarian for a nice family dinner . And I am so glad I did ! The food was amazing , the owner is so sweet we got to meet her and she told us her story about wanting to have her own restaurant since forever ! So they normally have a regular menu however they do offer vegan hot pot with a reservation which I highly recommend because it was amazing !!! We tried all the vegan food ( vegan duck , vegan chicken , tofu , fried tofu ) . Which was really good because if you have never tried vegan food before this allowed you the option to try all the different protein options and see which you liked rather than ordering a single dish . And considering I'm not vegan and my husband loves meat a lot ... we still enjoyed ourselves, all the food was delicious and filling ! My favourite was the vegan duck and the fried tofu and the spicy curry ( highly recommend) Even the dessert which was a Oreo and banana pudding was delicious. Overall 10/10 great food , great location and atmosphere, great staff ! I highly recommend even if your a meat lover to go give it a try ... and you might be pleasantly surprised ( I was ) and I will definitely be back to try some more dishes !

Delicious food, lovely ambiance, and friendly service. We stopped by Aroy after a disappointing…read moremeal at a nearby joint. Merely peckish, we didn't order as much as we ordinarily would have. However, what we did order hit the spot, and resoundingly so. We ordered one cup of tom yum with coconut milk, one cup of tom yum with clear broth, spring rolls, and chive patties. The tom yum with coconut milk was almost like a curry: very filling and creamy. The tom yum with clear broth was spicy, with every sip bursting with flavour. The portions were absolutely gigantic, and we had plenty left over. The spring rolls were perfectly hot and perfectly crispy. The filling was also delicious. The chive patties were also fried to a crisp, and were my favourite item on the menu. The food took a relatively long time to come, but service was very friendly. The ambiance was warm, with some interesting East Asian artwork. I'm always excited about all-vegan places, just because I can eat everything listen on the menu and don't have to parse carefully to figure out what I can consume. Simultaneously, I hold these establishments to high standards: such restaurants need to be truly exceptional to thrive. My dining partner and I were delighted with our experience at Aroy, and hope to return when we're next in Connecticut.

Lots of orders, going out the door and only a few tables at lunchtime on that day. This was my first foray into Thai food, and it was great! I have a gluten allergy so I asked the waitress about it. She seemed very knowledgeable and made some suggestions based on gluten-free and I don't like spice. Gluten free items are a $2 up charge. She suggested the Pad Woosen, so I got that with shrimp. It was excellent and I did not get sick. My friends enjoyed their dishes as well. I can't remember the names of what they were, but I took pictures of them. Typhoon does not have liquor, so we had waters and soda. The service was very good. Food was very good. I will try Thai food again!

All in all, however, this is a filling and relatively inexpensive meal. Service was pleasant and well executed. It was a terribly hot day outside and the AC was not as cool as we had hoped. Enjoyed and will be back and next time will be sushi and sashimi!

I ordered the cucumber roll, Naruto roll, and rainbow roll. Everything tasted great and the rolls were really well made. When I went to eat the Naruto roll, I noticed it had imitation crab. The description didn't mention crab, and since many imitation crab products contain wheat as a binder, I got nervous about eating it. Instead of asking about the crab right away, I ended up being too nervous to try it. The staff were incredibly kind and understanding and happily made me a new roll. I really appreciated how accommodating they were. Overall, great food and wonderful service!

If it weren't so cold I definitely would have gotten boba. The staff was courteous and kind. I saw how patient they were with an older woman that clearly was out of her element.
