Had our first meal at Jasa the night before Thanksgiving. What a fantastic surprise to find such delicious, beautifully prepared Chinese food right on Dixwell in Hamden. Our big group ordered all over the menu, with dishes ranging from straight-down-the-middle Cantonese-American and Sichuan classics (Peking Duck, Dan Dan noodles) to more unusual dishes like Dong Po Braised pork and Mouth-numbing Chicken. Everything was delicious - super-fresh vegetables, crisp skin on the duck, real heat in the spicy dishes. Seriously excited to go back.

Third time visiting Jasa tonight. This place is amazing. Food is fresh, everything is delicious. Would recommend Jasa if you are looking for a place to come get great food, talk and hear yourself talk with your guests perfect. Have tried apps, entree, and sushi also. I so recommend all.

Everything about the food here was great. I went alone as I do most places that I do reviews for because I have time to sit and think about my food, the service, the environment, as oppose to when I’m with friends or family, which can be sometimes distracting. The sushi here is great. It’s a good lunch spot for yourself or with a friend. It’s definitely not the spot to take a large group. My favorite sushi roll was the sweet potato roll.

Recently dined at this fantastic restaurant and was thoroughly impressed. They offer an all-you-can-eat menu for $30, and during weekdays, you can enjoy an all-you-can-eat lunch for just $21.99. The sushi was delicious, with each piece freshly prepared and flavorful. Other items on the menu were equally good, showcasing a variety of tasty options. The staff were courteous and attentive, ensuring a pleasant dining experience for everyone. Highly recommended for both sushi lovers and those looking to enjoy a variety of dishes at a great value.

This place is a hidden gem! The staff is always very friendly and accommodating, and the food is delicious!!! Full of flavor, and everything is fully customizable! We order takeout from them a lot and they are one of the few local places that always impress me with their consistency. The ginger chicken is the best! They have lots of seating inside if you eat there, and a small parking lot out back plus street parking (I never have an issue finding a spot). Thanks for creating an aesthetically pleasing, delicious spot!

Food was delicious! The chicken and gyro bowl excellent recommendation by the cashier. Even though our order was missing ingredients (chickpeas) it was delicious.

This restaurant, conveniently located near a Tesla Supercharger, is a great spot to grab a quick and delicious bite. The enticing sounds from the half-open kitchen are a testament to the high quality of the food.

Came for lunch, disappointed. Got the Drunken chicken lunch special with rice and crab Rangoon. I'm always leery of ground chicken, it was ok. The crab Rangoon was disgusting, not even sure what that yellow stuff was coming out of the stale overcooked shell. Such a bummer.

It’s hard to find a winner for taste, service and price. Thai Smile checks off all 3. We enjoyed pad see ew, appetizer and bubble tea. It was all tasty and served promptly. The place is small but clean and bright, and lunch ranges from $8-$10. Will definitely return next time in that area.

We've ordered from here several times already. Every time we try something new. The food is top notch quality. You can tell someone who knows what they're doing is running the kitchen. Delicious and authentic!

It’s taken me 10 years to talk my husband into giving this restaurant a try. Its location (at the end of a strip mall anchored by Hamden’s supermarket for poor people) made him suspicious. And when you’re eating raw fish, you want to be confident in the quality of your food. Despite the somewhat shady location, it’s a totally different experience once you step inside. There’s a little pond with fish and turtles in it, some fake glowing cherry blossom trees (fun fact: that’s what “Sakura” means in Japanese), and a circle-shaped bar that all contribute to much better ambiance than you would expect in the price rite plaza. I’m only giving it four stars for ambiance though because a) my husband was weirded out by the fake fish on the wall in the bar area that he had to look at during the whole meal and b) the hibachi section is noisy and full of kids crying, people screaming, etc. If they could isolate the hibachi section a little better, it would be a more pleasant dining experience for everyone else. Everything we ate was outstanding (including the “outstanding roll” - my husband’s favorite). Service was absolutely perfect - better than I’ve had in fancier restaurants. For example, we ordered a bunch of stuff including a couple soups. He asked if we want the soup first or everything as it’s ready. I really appreciate that. Too many times at other places they’ll give us our entrees before our starters arrive. I find that so annoying and it ruins the meal. Anyhow, excellent food, perfect service, and surprisingly nice vibe inside (if you can ignore the loud hibachi people and fake fish mounted on walls).

Server only once came to our table to drop off our initial drinks. Never came back again. We ordered hibachi and never got our soup our our salad either. Also noticed s forced 10% tip, I always leave 20% (and we did regardless of the poor service). Just thought it was a little shady.

CJ was an excellent host and all the items were great quality. It can be overwhelming to have both the hotpot (which costs about $5.99 extra) and the BBQ. The sauce table had a lot of items like fried rice, crab leg, and crawfish. This place is great for large groups and the staff do an excellent job of replenishing broth and changing the grills.

I recently visited here with a friend, and we both had a fantastic time! It was our first experience at an all-you-can-eat restaurant, and it didn’t disappoint. The food was great, with plenty of variety to choose from. A special shoutout goes to our waitress, Tiffany, who made our visit even more enjoyable. She was incredibly helpful and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed and providing excellent service throughout our meal. Her friendliness truly made the experience memorable. If you're looking for a place with great food and outstanding service, Here is definitely worth a visit. Highly recommend it!!

This is our favorite sushi in the area. After we moved, we're too far out for delivery, but we'll still often choose to pick up here over getting delivery from elsewhere. That is a testament to this restaurant because we can be pretty lazy. The spider roll is my fave.

Very reasonable pricing, very generous portions of very good sushi. I really liked the volcano roll, the different tunas. Quiet, friendly atmosphere. I think it's a good sign when you see Japanese people eating at a Japanese restaurant.

It’s a cute little place with a calm ambience. Some of the best Thai food i’ve had in a while. Their food was soul touching. We asked them to make our dishes ‘hot’ and it was just the right amount of kick. The portion size for two people was just right and excellent service.

Absolutely fabulous addition to the Hamden New Haven area dining scene! A brightly lit restaurant easy to find on Dixwell Ave. The restaurant is decorated well- brightly lit, bright colors, and tasteful decor. The service is excellent- it’s run by one person and chef B cooks all the meals to order- fresh. No microwaves going off. Take your time when you visit Let It Be Cafe- be prepared to enjoy each other’s company and a freshly made meal. The spring rolls were beautifully presented, fresh and crisp. The tamarind sauce with the rolls was nuanced and delicious. The pad Thai was excellent- it’s the chef’s mom’s recipe with her own twist- really good! The Nam Prik Ong- house specialty was outstanding. So fresh and such bright flavors. We tried the pandan custard- silky, not too sweet, served with salty buttered buns. It was also outstanding. Everything was made with care, and love. The restaurant is very clean. The words we heard repeatedly from other diners were “so good!” We felt the same way. Let It Be Thai Cafe is a mom and pop restaurant run by a hard working family. Support local. Visit! Enjoy! Tell your friends! :)

I stopped patronizing this business because their fresh broccoli is not fresh. Fresh broccoli does not have a strong odor. This broccoli always smells strong. The smell is so strong that it stinks up my car and house for days. I really like the young woman who takes your orders. She is very personable and makes you feel comfortable, and the establishment is neat and clean. They just need to stop selling expired broccoli.

The chicken fried rice is good here. Beyond that everything else is pretty low quality. Orange chicken is about 80% dough balls coated in orange sauce. It taste good at least but i order it for the chicken not the dough. 2nd time my orange chicken order has more than half the order be dough balls with no chicken. The kung pao chicken use to be good now its bland and boring. Kung pao consists of a couple peanuts diced carrots and celery with some sauce and chicken pieces. No chilies, nothing else, which makes it taste boring especially considering they use to make it pretty good. Now its clear they are cutting costs without reflecting it in their pricing. I wont be back. This is the third order that has been like this.

ZERO STARS!!!!! Extremely unpleasant, unprofessional, arrogant service. The customer is not priority for this horrible excuse of a business. Female host/worker very dismissive and not willing to work with long time customers over order mistakes so they've lost business from here on out. The food was mediocre at best, which must be why I rarely saw more than 2 people in the place at once.

Ordered shrimp with garlic sauce got chicken with garlic sauce. Fried wonton were very hard almost brunt. The rice was good and fries with chicken nuggets were good will not order again. The only good thing besides what I said was fast service and polite delivery person.

Super nice staff and great food! Pricing is very affordable. I got two regular sized, one spicy chicken and one steak with 6 potstickers and an egg roll for about $40. I got a regular sized and it’s a big portion! Enough for now and lunch the next day. Definitely worth the money! Great customer service, the staff was super kind and patient. The food was hot and still very warm by the time we got home. We were out in about 10-15 minutes as everything seems to be made to order. Will deff go back soon!

1st time in and General Manager Douglas was on hand and took his time to explain the menu to me as well as choices and options. Great 1st impression and the food was excellent. Fresh and seasoned well. Overall great experience and really good food at a reasonable price. Get the app, earn points and save. Definitely a business I want to support and would recommend you to try them for yourself.
