9. Edo Ichi Sushi & Hibachi Steak House

Reviewed By Cyclone05
Sushi was tasty, service was quick and friendly, and the presentation was amazing. My plate featured a little handcrafted wooden fence that the sushi sat in front of, and an elaborate floral arrangement, in addition to the lovely and colorful sushi roll itself. The plate looked more like a work of art than something you're supposed to eat. Sushi is frequently visually appealing, but this was above and beyond what I've seen before.My only gripe has to do with the dining room. There was a laser light projector shining little red and green dots all around the room to create some kind of ambiance. However, the table I was seated at meant those little laser dots shone right in my face! I tried shifting around to avoid them but in the end had to ask for the projector to be shut off. Thankfully the staff did turn it off and I was able to enjoy my meal, but it was not great that it was there in the first place. Hopefully they remove it entirely so others can enjoy their food without worrying about danger to their eyesight!In all other regards it was a great experience and I'd gladly go back if the laser is shut off.

This hidden gem is located just off main street adjacent to City Steam. Go early for lunch as it fills up quickly with those craving Chinese comfort food.I ordered the sesame chicken (lunch) portion and there was plenty. The food is prepared so you just point and they serve. Lunch runs from $6 and up.

Traditionally Thai food is fresh and full of flavor. Not here. My chicken cashew was bland, tasteless and greasy. The chicken was chewy and tasted off. This dish was very skimpy on cashews and sauce. It needed more sauce for the dry rice. My friends didnât enjoy their meals either. Your meal comes with either a salad or soup. I decided on the salad. This was a sad excuse for a salad. There was more dressing then vegetables. Service was very slow and the food arrived cold. After I got back to the office I told a friend about my lunch experience. He ate there a few weeks before and also had a bad meal. Wish I talked to him before I went. Eat here at your own risk. Youâve been warned.

6. Goong Korean Restaurant

The restaurant is located in a drab, almost vacant shopping center. The decor of the restaurant is as drab as the surroundings. We were encouraged that the restaurant was relatively full of customers, many of whom appeared to be of Korean descent -- who would know better about Korean cuisine? We ordered an appetizer and two main courses. All were (dare I use the adjective again?) drab. We've enjoyed Korean food in New York City and Los Angeles; in East Hartford, not so much ... The acid test: Would I go back? No, no, no.

A neighbor told us about this restaurant and sung their praises.Empty restaurant on a Saturday night on a holiday weekend at 6:00 PM. Pleasant atmosphere with many tables and booths. Initially disappointed that the tea we ordered came without any tea in the teapot. Obviously they dunked a teabag in the pot and removed it quickly. After complaining the waiter returned with a second pot that was equally very light tea. We are used to being served Jasmine tea with loose tea.The "Gold Bags" appetizer was excellent as was the wonton soup. The most disappointing was the shrimp Pad Thai. While my lady liked the dish, I found the taste to be awful.When we received the bill we discovered that we were charged $4.00 for two cups of weak tea. The soup was $4.95. The Pad Thai entree was on the high side as well. Now while this is West Hartford it is also Park Avenue, not the Center it Nlie Back Square!We will not be returning anytime soon.

We wanted some real good soup, and we found this Vietnamese restaurant in downtown East Hartford, Ct. We had Seafood Vermicelli soup and Vegetable Beef soup, and a hot pot of Jasmin tea! The fresh vegetables, fresh basel, bean sprouts, with lime, made the soup very good, delicious! We really like these Vietnamese soups. The menu is fairly short and they include brief english translations! We were offered cake, instead of some fortune cookies after the meal! The chocolate cake was very good and we really appreciated. The the food is very good, the service is just as good too! The ambience is nice and have a view of the main street and people watching! There are plenty of free off street parking and also free parking at the back of the restaurant. We will be back to try more of this cuisine!

Iâve been to Vietnam which just confirmed my love of Vietnamese food. We had pho and bun. Both were very good renditions. Took a LONG time for the Pho. I had jackfruit smoothie which was very good. The price however was a surprise for East Hartford. More expensive than the same dishes in our area of So Fairfield county and even NYC. So if cost is irrelevant then stop by the foodâs good.

We got take out - the serving was huge and it was one of the best Pho I have ever had. It comes in a large deli takeout container with a bag of goodies (mint, lime, sprouts, spices, etc) that you can mix in as desired. We got the mixed (beef and shrimp).

Feng Chophouse is located on a side, somewhat narrow, one-way street in Hartford. There is a parking lot across the street -- a bit pricey at $10 for two hours, but there is also street parking (metered) available. Our OpenTable reservation was immediately honored. We were offered seating in either the bar or the main dining room -- we chose the dining room and were seated at a nice table. The remodeling -- the restaurant was closed for a period -- is quite attractive, although it is somewhat dark (as seems to be the way of most steakhouses around here -- J. Gilbert's, Fleming's, Morton's (in its day -- sadly gone)). The service was efficient and professional, although not particularly warm. We ordered hand rolls prepared by the sushi chef -- my husband was quite happy with his California roll; the quality of mine was much better than anything I would get at Westside Market (Rocky Hill), but I should have ordered a vegetable roll, rather than one with shrimp in it (as it was a special occasion). That said, this was a taste preference on my part -- not any failure on the part of the restaurant. My husband ordered a filet from the chophouse menu. He thought it very good, although it didn't have that steakhouse flame-licked taste, which he would have preferred. I ordered the Korean BBQ short rib with slaw -- the short rib was as tender as could be; the sauce on it was very good (although I wish there had been more of it (and I would ask for a side of it now knowing)); the slaw was truly excellent, although the chef could have left out the cauliflower/green broccoli florets and the brown, largish-romanesco broccoli, which sadly looked like a turd (and was a distraction from an otherwise attractive presentation of the plate), and added more slaw. We also ordered a side of the bacon fried rice, which featured candied cashews -- this was a home run! We didn't order dessert -- we headed to Rocky Hill for ice cream at Scoops & Sprinkles to celebrate my husband's birthday. The acid test: would I go back? Yes, we will go back -- maybe once or twice a year. The bill came to about $130 for two -- no alcohol, no desserts, which was a bit on the pricey side, but not necessarily out of line.
