This place is definitely great for 90's kids with their selection of music. Everything I eat here is always so good. So flavorful. The mushroom dumplings are HIGHLY recommended.

I ordered the shoyu paitan from Mecha Noodle Bar to-go. What matters most to me in ramen is the…read moredepth of the broth, and Mecha definitely delivered. It was rich, creamy, and full of flavor, the kind of meal that just hits on a cold, rainy day. I wasn't entirely sure what type of noodles they used. I usually prefer noodles with a slightly buttery texture and a bit more slip. The chicken was well seasoned with subtle hints of anise that reminded me of pho. Overall, I really enjoyed it. It's a close contender to Menya Gumi's paitan, but I still prefer Menya Gumi just a little more.

I should also mention that they have new owners now, and everything has improved a lot. It's been about 8 months since the change, and they're doing an excellent job.

The food was pretty good, the crab rangoons were wonderful and the fried rice was super refreshing! there was only one server and it was a rush so the service was slow but we gave him lots of grace because I couldn't imagine being the only server with all of those people.

Not sure if their soup was just undercooked or what happened there. They do have yummy drinks like boba and such. Usually pretty fast at getting food to us as well.

I swear that's why I've always loved tofu! And I'm mostly vegan now the past 28 years, and my mother the past 12. This place is a staple in New Haven and testament to their good food for staying open all these years. When Claire's first opened vegetarian restaurants weren't a thing, and over the years the menu has shifted.. but it's always good. For me it's home cooking style, comfort food.. they have their own style. This place was around before everyone was freaking out about carbs.. thank god! I never leave without a cookie and a muffin for later.. they're the best! I recently got hooked on the Sunbuttter cookie, and also enjoy the Lithuanian coffee cake muffin. Soups and salads come with the classic Claire mini loaf! A delicious buttery(is it vegan? don't know) mini loaf of bread, just as tasty as I remember it from my childhood. Their oat milk Matcha Lattes are creamy and they don't slack on the matcha. The service is always friendly and helpful. The menu accommodates vegetarians, vegans, and gluten free options as well. enjoy!

I have no clue how they can afford to add this much bacon to each sandwich. I'm a person for whom a city is made or broken by their breakfast sandwich game, and if Olmo left New Haven I would probably have to move. Keep going here so they can keep putting insane amounts of bacon on each sandwich. The cinnamon raisin cream cheese is also wild.

The meat was frozen and defrosted, the broths tasted like water, and it was pretty expensive for the quality you get. The broths looked very flavorful, but it truly tasted like water... No amount of sauce was able to save it. You also can't even make your own sauce, they come to your table with a sauce cart and make it for you... The service was meh as well. Overall very disappointing.

I came here with reservations and still had to wait which wasn't a huge deal. However once we were seated, it took an additional 20 min for the waiter to come greet us and take our orders. When he came back with our dishes they were haphazardly placed on the table without any utensils. It took 3 attempts of asking to finally obtain said utensils. The food is EXCELLENT and the manager- Rippon was very nice and helpful and listened to our feedback, so that was appreciated.

The place had a really nice and chill vibe, really nice decor and a great spot for a somewhat nice lunch. They were serving their lunch menu and I ended up getting the mussels pad Thai, and a chicken curry puff appetizer and a Thai tea. The Thai tea was solid, and the chicken curry puffs were very good. But the stand out was the pad Thai. I've never had a creamy pad Thai and this was amazing. So flavorful. I didn't know what to expect with the mussels but I loved the mussels in the shell and it added a great flavor to the dish! I will definitely be coming back again to order this, and try some of their other items!

They don't skimp on the crab or egg. The rice is made with butterfly pea tea to color it blue. That was fun. It was a wok-y flavor and overall solid. Something that was concerning, was that the cilantro lime sauce helped the fried rice A TON. and I think that if you can't eat something without a sauce then it's kinda a sign that it's not the best... for $28, I would not get it again. This was the only dish we ate. 7/10 Tom Yum Shrimp: the entree size had peanuts but the appetizer didn't. Weird. This was by far, the WORST tom yum i have ever tasted in my life. It was sweet.
