These haven't changed in years (decades). A couple ice waters quick to show up! For my first drink? I'm having a French Martini made with Grey Goose vodka, Chambord and a splash of pineapple juice. This is good! It is a well balanced drink. They don't garnish here so I know what I'm getting. They also use medium sized martini glasses (not the small ones). For my first item, I'm having the House Green Salad. This is made with iceberg lettuce, cucumbers and tomatoes. I LOVE their ginger dressing! I like the soothing music here. This salad is awesome! My friend is getting the Kani (crab). Wow! Look at that masterpiece! I think he got an upgrade! Out comes a random complementary sushi. It looks like tuna with cream cheese and avocado. This is delicious! I love pickled ginger and lots of wasabi. That's hits your nose hard! For my next item, I'm having a miso soup. This is the lowest price I've ever seen ($2.85). It is a soybean soup made with tofu, scallions and seaweed. Miso soup is a traditional Japanese soup made from a dashi stock mixed with miso paste, a fermented soybean paste, giving it a savory, umami flavor. Key ingredients often include tofu, seaweed (wakame), and scallions, but it can be customized with mushrooms, clams, or other additions. It's served hot, typically as part of a traditional Japanese meal, and should not be boiled after adding the miso to preserve its flavor and nutrients. This is hot and steamy. It is delicious! For my next item, I'm having the Seaweed Salad. Japanese seaweed salad (often called wakame salad) is a vibrant, refreshing, and umami-packed dish. It is made by rehydrating dried seaweed, tossing it with a vinaigrette made of sesame oil, soy sauce, and rice vinegar, and garnishing it with sesame seeds. I love this stiff although it sticks to your teeth sometimes. It is quite chilled. For my next item, I'm having edamame. These are a superfood. Boiled soybeans with salt! Edamame is a Japanese dish of young soybeans, typically boiled or steamed in the pod and served as a snack or appetizer, often with salt. It can also be prepared shelled (mukimame) and seasoned in various ways, such as with garlic, soy sauce, chili, or sesame oil, and served warm or cold in salads. The beans are known for being a protein-rich, healthy, and versatile ingredient. These are an absolutely delicious! For my next drink, I am having a Strawberry Martini made with Svensk Wild Strawberry vodka, sweet vermouth and a splash of strawberry liqueur. Oh wow! This is good! Yes, you can taste the alcohol here! These edamame are good! No shortage of salt here either! For my next food item, I'm having the Tuna Nuts made with thinly sliced seared tuna served with raw seaweed and a sweet miso paste. It normally cones with scallions too. We'll see. This is good! It's might and easy to eat. Yummy! Our comes a spice tuna avocado ball AND a no rice sushi dish! This is amazing! There is NO place like this! For my next item, I'm having the Ikura (A La Carte menu). Ikura is the Japanese term for cured salmon roe (fish eggs). Prized for its vibrant orange color and signature "pop," the individual eggs are typically marinated in a soy sauce, sake, and mirin brine. It is most commonly served atop vinegared rice wrapped in a strip of nori seaweed (known as gunkan maki) or over a bowl of rice (ikura don). This is a taste of the ocean! Cucumber, no rice. It's a must when coming here! The wasabi is wicked strong! It was just made today! I love this! On my For my next item, I'm having the Spicy Crab and Mango made with snow crab, mango, avocado and cucumber. My friend is having the Spicy Crunchy Scallops hand roll. These are sushi snow cones. For my next drink, I am having g a Watermelon Martini made with Bacardi Light Malibu Coconut, pineapple juice and a splash of mango schnapps. Oh yeah! This is good! Strong too! What a unique drink! This has a maraschino cherry garnish too! OMG! For dessert, I'm having the Fried Crispy Banana and Fried Ice Cream. Yeah, right. Let's see what REALLY comes out! OMG! This is IMPOSSIBLE to finish! Look at this monster! Tiramisu?! This is quite unique! Wow! My sister is ordering the Chicken with lemongrass to go and I'm ordering a quart of hibachi soup to go. This place is the bomb! There is no better!

Pick & Mix III in Glastonbury. Are there only three? If so, I've completed the hat trick with our…read morerecent visit. I can't even remember how many years ago, my wife and I became fans of the highly customizable Bi-Bim-Bop stir fry bowls at the West Hartford location. You pick your veggies, protein, sauce and rice or noodles, and you eat exactly what you want. My office once temporarily relocated near the Avon location, and that Pick & Mix was one of my main workday lunch spots for a while. Pick & Mix's bowls seem like a pretty healthy way to eat flavorful food. My wife and I decided to order takeout from the Glastonbury Pick & Mix, and to eat at the gazebo at Riverfront Park. I've known that Glastonbury had a Pick & Mix, but I didn't know where it was. Turns out it's in the same plaza as a bunch of other Glastonbury favorites I hadn't located. Zinneken's Belgian Waffles. Whole Deli. Harry's Pizza. El Pollo Guapo. This discovery was like the un-earned ending of a culinary "National Treasure", or even "National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets". Looking at the menu, I immediately wanted the spicy pork. It was outstanding. The pork almost seemed shaved and it had a spicy, flavor bomb of a marinade. It was WOW good. The vegetables, especially the tender leafy spinach, were the perfect compliment to the pork. It also had slivers of carrots and onions, and was topped with sesame seeds. I chose glass noodles as the side, and I swirled noodles into the main dish as I created room. Terrific, terrific dish. I also had to try a "Korean Style Hot Dog", when I noticed the sign. Yelp CT Community Manager Alex PT posted crazy cool photos of Korean hot dogs from NYC, and I've been intrigued ever since. Pick & Mix's version was not as elaborate. It looked like a basic corn dog on a stick, but, notwithstanding the name, there is no frankfurter involved. If I understand correctly, it's gooey mozzarella encased in a fried fish cake crust. It was good, but the next one I order will probably be a gourmet NYC one. I continue to be a big Pick & Mix fan. And Three is the closest to me. Five Stars

They don't have their own restrooms; it is in the building (go down the stairs, then to the left under the stairs). They have AYCE and regular menu items. We came for AYCE, which you can order 3 rounds of, so make sure you order enough (but not too much, because you are charged for excessive leftovers). We only needed to order 2 rounds. They can get pretty busy, so it may take a bit to get your order, but they are good at making sure you get your whole order. The service is friendly as well. We ordered a large variety. The Age Tofu was pretty good as a general consensus, though most of the fried stuff was a bit too oily. The Kani Salad was pretty good (their spicy mayo is tasty). The fish is decent quality and fresh. Most of the sushi didn't have too much rice, which I liked. The rice held together well. Still, I prefered the "tataki" (sashimi with ponzu) over the sushi. I do wish they had a regular scallop sushi, as the spicy scallop sushi is a small piece of scallop with lots of spicy mayo and rice. The special rolls (we got Fancy Tuna, Enter the Dragon, Mango Tango and Spider Roll) are pretty heavy, as most of the flavor is from the sauces. You can order things without the dressing or sauces (see the house salad without dressing....yes, it's just lettuce lol) Make sure to save room for ice cream! They have Vanilla, Green Tea (Matcha), Strawberry, and Fried (Vanilla). The Green Tea is a really strong matcha, which I love! For $28/weekend adult pricing, it's a pretty good deal. Just make sure you leave time to sit and wait.

For an appetizer, we are having the Spicy Edamame. This is made with garlic butter, soy sauce and Japanese spice. Edamame is a popular Japanese appetizer of immature soybeans in the pod, typically boiled or steamed and served with salt. These are great! Some are really spicy! For another appetizer, we are getting the vegetable gyoza. Jiaozi (gyoza) are traditional Chinese dumplings made of minced meat or vegetables wrapped in a thin dough. Oh yeah! These are good! For my next drink, I'm having the Classic Manhattan. This is made with Woodford Reserve bourbon, sweet vermouth, Angostura bitters and brandied cherry. This tastes good but could use a garnish. For our sashimi, we are having the Sashimi Jalapeno made with jalapeno peppers over two pieces each of salmon, tuna and yellowtail finished with wasabi mayo. This is heaven! Wow! For our hand rolls, we are having a vegetable roll made with cucumber, avocado and asparagus; a peanut avocado roll; spicy tuna roll made with chopped tuna, spicy mayo and crunch; Philadelphia roll made with cream cheese, smoked salmon and cucumber. Boomer loves the smokey salmon! These are all great!

I ordered ahead this time and went with the grilled chicken teriyaki With noodles. No veggies. I got extra protein and the order was huge.

Food is good, hate the company…read more It's been a hot minute since I've been to this location. So decided to drop in for a lunch. Two people manning the entire restaurant, deep in the orders and unable to assist the front. Going to the kiosk, put in a bowl and everything is an up charge. Want noodles? Extra. Want veggies? Extra. Want them combined with the protein? Extra. Then there's upsales after each bowl entry and when you go to check out. Even after all that, two junior bowls end up costing 36 bucks. The portion was fine for the price paid, and the quality of the food was good for a chain. None of my problems are the fault of the employees, they literally had no time between making orders to address the inbound customers. The problem is the company, and they are openly hostile towards their customer base. Unless you specifically are looking for a teriyaki bowl, I would highly advise that you look local and support those businesses before choosing this place. It's fine in terms of quality, and you'll get a decent product for exorbitant prices. But for me it's a pass

Then I also ordered a goat biryani and Philly cheesesteaks grinder. I was asked which cheese I wanted on the grinder and I said mozzarella. Also if I want everything on it and I said yes. In about 20 min it was ready to take home. It all smelled great piping hot. The pizza was great but the menu said meat lovers. I could only see the halal pepperoni and cut up sausage and some few bits of maybe Turkey? No ground beef but just mostly two kinds of meat toppings carefully spread out and not really layered or loaded. I didn't complain for $17.99 because it was halal and during Ramadan. It was very tasty though. The crust was perfect. The sauce was great with Italian spices and flavor. The large size was plenty for my husband and I. The goat biryani looked plain and I missed not getting any raita. It's very pricey for $15 and had I noticed that I wouldn't have ordered it. Luckily it was not too oily and had mildly spiced tender pieces of goat and some bone meat pieces. Some would say it was not spicy enough and didn't have the masala of a typical biryani. I would say this was more of a pulao. The grinder had fresh veggies and bread was good and also fresh. But I looked and was so disappointed to see not a lot of pastrami! Not at all a thick layer like grinders at other places have piled on. I opened it up to see and realized that I would need at least a triple amount of meat that was in there. The pastrami was tasty and fresh but really way too thin of a layer of meat to make a good grinder. Then it was too much bread and not balanced out with the fillings inside. All in all, I would just order a pizza next time and ask for extra meat. Also this place is located next to a halal grocery market, Asian grocery, so you can shop while you wait. FYI, the bathroom has an out of order sign on it.
