11-25-24 On A Positive Note: I’ve dined here on two prior occasions. Today, I was seated at the bar. The bar is rather high for the seats. Nonetheless, my hibachi shrimp was tasty and well sauced. I didn’t need to use the mustard or the ginger sauce. The server was very attentive. She cleared my soup and salad bowls immediately after I finished each of them. However, she did not offer to refill my water. The Verdict: Great food and service. I deducted one star from the atmosphere due to the awkwardness of the bar height in comparison to the stool. I’m 5’ 7”. I would dine here again- just not at the bar.😊

This place has some of the best sushi in the state!! My favorite is the Paradise Roll, it is outstanding!!! I highly recommend this restaurant for incredible sushi!! I am a fan for life!!!! For dessert try the warm sweet rice and fresh mango!

Amazing to find really good, fresh fish along with excellent service in middle of CT. Perfect place to enjoy a perfectly fried, Captains platter with scallops, cod, clam bellies, shrimp and calamari with a side salad and fries. Enjoyed meal on outside patio while cool, sun was out. Will return. Waitress was very attentive, checking to make sure we enjoyed meal. We also enjoyed a very creamy and tasty clam chowder and chicken wings.

Went to Canton and Rocky Hill restaurants. Fish stew is one of my favorites. Rocky Hill is hands down the winner. RH has more fish variety in the stew and is much spicier. Had fish combo at RH. Best fish around, I highly recommend. Family style salad with great house dressings. Dinner still comes with an after dinner fruit bowl. Wait staff was very attentive. Definitely my go to fish restaurant.

This place was pretty chill and a had a nice environment. The only thing holding it back is that it’s so expensive. The 22 dollar sushi triple roll I got was a decent amount and tasted great but it had quite an amount of filler in the fish. I bought a sushi pizza appetizer which was 16 bucks and it was soooooo tiny. Tasted good but not worth the price. My friend also got some shrimp with veggies and rice for 22 bucks and it was 95% veggies and 4 pieces shrimp. If you get anything here get the sushi.

12/09/24 - A shumai and yellowtail sashimi app, Sunset Boulevard signature roll (spicy tuna, salmon, yellowtail, avocado w/plum sauce), and the Happy Four Season - beef, chicken, scallops & shrimp w/mixed vegetables perfect, as always. # 10/08/24 - Special occasion. Two roll lunches with spicy tuna, spicy yellowtail and shrimp tempura. # 5/24 - Still remarkable service and food. # 8/31/23: We love lunch here. Two of us ordered the 2 roll option with spicy tuna, spicy yellowtail and eel/avocado and one the salmon box. All came with a choice of soup & salad. # 1/23: Tasty rock shrimp, gyoza, sushi, sashimi, hand roll and cooked shellfish main. # 8/22: Always scrumptious. # Liki lunches are always delicious & nutritious. Hot green tea, sake, wonton soup with salad and ginger dressing, a teriyaki salmon box and 3 sushi rolls. I like the slivers of ginger. Their wasabi has a good burn. # For kicks, we tried the Scorpion drink for two. Nice presentation. Moderate alcohol despite the list. The Rock Shrimp App was so good order it for dinner. # Fine meal Feb '22. Arigatou! Sake and wonton soup nice & hot; fried pork gyoza, scallion pancakes & yellowtail sashimi all perfect; Seafood combo main, Avon Roll, Liki King Roll and Unagi were fine. # Sat at the bar this visit. Ordered 3 apps & 2 special cocktails from their blackboard. Drinks were great. Shrimp tempura was very good. Steamed gyoza. Curious if Japanese cuisine made a different version of calamari than Italian, we tried it. Very crunchy with a deep fried panko crust. It's good, but we prefer the traditional version. # Late Nov. lunch brought two teriyaki lunch boxes with salmon and shrimp. Salads and wonton soup still very good. The tea was hot this time, but the sake can use more heat. White rice was dry, cool and flavorless, so my partner mixed it into his brown rice upgrade which was warm and moist. Service is polite & efficient. # Exceptional lunch late Oct. I mean to have sit down lunches more often in Asian restaurants, instead of only dinner or picking up take-out. Liki gave us a noteworthy meal that included our choice of soup & a crisp salad with dressing that reminded me of Benihana's. The Wonton soup has delicate wrappings on the pork and a warm broth. I had 3 signature rolls: shrimp tempura, spicy tuna & eel avocado. All delicious. My partner chose a Lunch Box Special that comes with 3 shumai, a California roll, salad & rice. The Salmon Teriyaki Box had a lovely portion of fish with some cooked broccoli & carrots, shumai and a CA roll. The only flaw: the hot tea needs to be served hot. # As someone who used to eat sushi for many years in CA, and since Murasaki/Sakimura closed in Simsbury, I'm happy to find another good sushi restaurant in the area. Our table of three had two diners who ate raw fish and one who did not, but since Liki like most sushi places offers both cooked and raw fish, and other cuisine, we ordered a variety of items. Our meal included one yellowtail sushi, two spicy tuna hand rolls, a spider roll, shrimp tempura roll, pan fried pork dumplings, Thai veg mini rolls, one miso and wonton soup, a salad and two entrées. Two of us shared the triple sashimi 15 pc platter of the Chef's daily selection with salmon, yellowtail & tuna. One had the seafood combo of lobster, scallop, crab, shrimp & vegetables with brown rice. We ordered 2 pcs of Unagi for a traditional finish, but our waitress brought only one saying the Chef only makes one at a time. We split the one served. Everything was well prepared, fresh and a pleasure to eat. Miso soup is different on the west coast, so I'm getting used to the gold broth here. Liki has a well stocked bar. We tried the "Cucumber Smash," and "Liki Lemonade" with strawberries, lemonade & simple syrup but substituted Brockmans gin for vodka. Both were pretty and flavorful but my partner couldn't taste any gin. Ordering a 2nd, they were out of strawberries. I said see if it's the strawberries masking the gin or a light pour. It was the latter. I'll stick with sake. A small hot carafe completed the meal.

Good take away Chinese option in the area. The dumplings and beef mushroom were good. Crab Rangoon had little crab but many scallions, so still had flavor.

Best Chinese food in the area, the steamed dumplings are absolutely delicious and come with the most amazing sauce ever. The prices are very reasonable portions are large and the quality of food is excellent. You will not be disappointed with this place they are amazing.

Order was incorrect, and I had to argue on the phone for 10 minutes to get a credit for the food. The manager tried to gaslight me the entire time into thinking the order was correct, when the roll they gave me was clearly not cooked shrimp. It appeared to be raw salmon instead. It's okay, honest mistakes happen, but they should have instantly credited instead of stressing me out and giving me a hard time about it. And to have the gall to try and make me doubt my own eyes... I've attached a picture of the 'shrimp'. Also, $4.00+ for one piece of sushi is steep... Sushi should go for $1.00-$2.00 per piece. I was mistaken on what I was getting for the price. It's good, but it's not THAT good. If something is wrong with your order, just take the loss and move on. It's not worth it, trust me.

The most amazing sushi and service! Anna was fantastic! We went here for the first time to celebrate our 9th anniversary, and it definitely was the right choice. Everything was above expectations, and we will definitely be returning soon.

I am new to the area and tried this place for the first time and let me just say this is my new favorite place of all! The food was amazing and the kitchen looked immaculate. What I loved most was the orange chicken was cut into bite sized pieces which made it so much easier to eat! And the fried rice was great too!

The food here is what I've come to expect from a non-specialized Chinese restaurant. The portions were big but lacking in flavor. There was a distinct lack of savoryness. Once upon a time, they used to provide in-house dining. However, ever since COVID, they only offer take-out. This, despite most places returning to the traditional restaurant model of service. It's hard to complain about the food when you're expectations are low. I don't necessarily blame this place for its lack of quality: there has been a general trend away from the traditional Americanized Chinese style of cuisine. In its place are more authentic flavors and styles. Not that I have anything against that. It's just that sometimes you want a good General Tzo's with some fried rice. An additional problem comes the cut of meats used because there's not enough cooking that will disguise the cheapest possible cut of beef or questionable chunk of chicken.

I order from them regularly and have never had an issue, food is always fresh and delicious. Wait time is always a quick turnaround and the pricing is extremely affordable with large portions. Locally owned and am so grateful this place is still around, only Japanese restaurant I go to as they are the best! Very appreciative of this restaurant for their amazing service.

Cannot recommend this place enough! Oishi is a hidden gem, and the food quality has consistently exceeded expectations. I’ve been ordering sushi and hibachi from here for years now and still consider it to be the best in the area. Their prices are also very reasonable, and the staff are so kind.

Takeout Review: Somewhere in Bangkok is an authentic Thai restaurant located in Connecticut. They have locations in Avon and Southington. Thai food is typically very flavorful; they use multiple spices and fresh ingredients to bring out the salty, sour, sweet, hot and bitter flavors. They have a vast menu with plenty of options and spice levels. They also offer boba tea drinks. It was a cold and rainy day so we decided to do takeout from there. I am usually a pad Thai or curry dish lover, it's my go-to, but decided on the chicken Pad See Ew this time around to mix it up. It's a stir fried flat rice noodle dish with broccoli, eggs, garlic, and soy sauce. The portion size was average and the flavor was robust. Next time, I look forward to trying out their pad Thai, panang curry, sweet chili wings, and panang fried rice, to name a few. Overall, it's a great Thai restaurant offering quality ingredients and delectable flavors.

Great first impression from my first visit for lunch. We had Bangkok fried rice and Ginger shrimp. They handled my wife's gluten free request very seamlessly. It was all plated very nicely and tasted great. I will definitely go back, try other items and see if they can earn a five star rating!

I had a great time here ! I went on a Tuesday night around 4:30/5, no wait time. The waiter was exceptionally kind. I absolutely loved the chicken satay with peanut sauce. And they’re halal!! I stayed for a while to read as well. Would definitely return here.

Where do I begin? Looking for Thai food I promise don’t try anywhere else. The Green Papaya is the place to go! I’ve tried many great Thai spots and I would recommend this heavily. If you’re not sure what to order my go to is Pad Thai crispy chicken. This spot is seriously great with such a delicious variety of food. I’ve been eating here for years and it never gets old whether it’s summer or winter I’ll always eat here. 🤗

I can’t rate the atmosphere because I’ve never eaten inside. Tonight was disappointing it seems the quality is waning these days. Ordered a cheeseburger and for argument sake I said well done in the beginning of the order; But after modifying other items I ordered either the well done was never written down or the cook just did what he/she wanted. My kid bit into the burger and it was pretty rare . Wasn’t bleeding rare but too rare for my taste let alone a child. So suffice to say no place is immune from these mistakes. I think every restaurant should be mandated to cook meats for well done. This was gross and I hope my kid doesn’t get sick. The other items were okay, seems the more I go the more it gets worse. I’m going to take a break from this restaurant for awhile. I’m really not one to complain online and it’s even harder for me to complain in person. Other restaurants are also on my do not go for awhile list. It just seems for the prices these days it more worth the effort to make it at home.

9/24- Their chicken sandwich with cheese and bacon comes together well with a lot of crispy bacon and crunchy bread. # August 2024 - One of the special menu of the week orders was basically chicken and waffles with a twist of poutine and pickles. Interesting. The standard menu grilled chicken sandwich is delicious and one of their healthier choices. It is a popular place and so packed last week there were no parking spaces available of their own, but you can park in an adjacent spot. Closed Sunday and Monday. Open until 7 pm on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Tuesday and Wednesday hours are 11-3:30 pm. # Nice place for locals or visitors driving down Rte 44 to pull over for some feel-good food. Outdoor seasonal seating. Customers order at the counter and are called when their order is done or wait staff brings the food to your table. We sat outside and asked the waitress if we needed to come back in to pick up our food, and she said, no, she would bring it to us. After a half an hour, I was about to get up and inquire how long it took for two burgers to be made with light traffic, when the cook himself came out with our food and nicely said he thought we left him hanging. ? Anyway, both burgers were very good and cooked to temperature. The Beau's Burger Bleu, with blue cheese and bacon, was very tasty, and the Mushroom & Swiss was equally so. Fries with my meal were the right combination of crispy and soft. My companion wanted onion rings, so this was added to the bill as a side. I've eaten here before doing reviews and always liked their chili dog. They do have salads, soup, and chili for those who do not want a burger and chicken tenders for kids. On the high end, they have lobster rolls - I was tempted to try one as I love to compare these, and the Shrimp Po' Boy, whole belly clam and clam strip platter also sound promising. There is much to try here with an easy stop off the road.

Outstanding food with good to great service! I picked an appetizer and a huge brisket plater that was outstanding all the way around. Little pricy, but what isn't these days. Dig the 50s diner vibes with early rock & rock playing at a reasonable volume. Definitely got my 💰 worth!

I was finally able to make it to this place, and was very happy I did. I'd been looking forward to it for some time. The location is not necessarily the best as it is on a very wide, fast-moving road. But other than that, it was very nice. There was plenty of parking around the back of the building, with plenty of handicapped parking, and spots reserved for those who've served. We had a little wait before we got our table, but once we did, it saw very nice. The menu was overflowing with delicious choices, and the waitstaff was super friendly. Once the food arrived, I was delighted by how good everything tasted. It was better than I was hoping for. One of the only downsides was that due to the accustical properties of the room, when a demon child started screaming, it was like that shrill was right in my ear. It was very unpleasant. However, that nasty creature was soon placated, and the rest of my meal was fine. Do yourself the favor of ordering the apple fritters. They are handmade, made to order, and simply amazing.

Very fair priced restaurant. You can get a large sundae to share for like 10 dollars. The milkshakes are great. The waitress I had was very polite, timely, and balancing like 8+ other tables. She was amazing. The price of fast food has gone up so much you might as well come in and order a better meal for about the same price maybe $5 extra if you wanna get yourself a great milkshake. The only downside is it can be loud because its a family restaurant meaning kids. However it's not horrid, maybe it's because I'm also a parent. But I've never had a bad experience of a kid being super loud or crying. I've come here for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I've done the curbside pickup, I've come here after movies. Friendly's is a fantastic place for ice cream, food and at a very fair price.

I had an amazing experience at the Friendly’s in Avon! From the moment I walked in, the service was exceptional. Makenna and Ashlyn went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. They were friendly, attentive, and incredibly accommodating of my food allergies, ensuring that I could enjoy my meal with peace of mind. It’s not every day you come across such thoughtful and professional service. Thank you for making my visit so enjoyable—I’ll definitely be backup!
