Great AYCE sushi spot! This is a spot we visit often because they're pretty reliable. It's a little annoying to get to because it's inside a larger building and down some stairs. (If someone knows an easier way to enter pls let me know ) The owner is usually around serving and he's very nice as well as the other server. They are always hustling! It starts to get busier after 6 or so, and service and the kitchen can slow down a little, so just be aware. The fish is always fresh as well as the rice. They do not load up the nigiri or rolls with rice, and the nigiri typically has a healthy portion of fish. Our favorite roll to get is the New Spring Roll because of all the fish and tasty yuzu sauce. The one thing I'm not a big fan of is their spicy rolls because they also mix in some tempura flakes into the fish and it just feels really heavy and flavorless. They make nice cocktails and have some happy hour specials on drinks so check em out!
This is a hidden gem in Glastonbury. It's a little hard to find but once you get there you'll be pleased. Around dinner time it was packed, but we are seated immediately and given our drink drinks and appetizers. It's inside of a plaza along with other places and it looks like it's under construction in some areas. I would say this has one of the best all you can eat sushi selections in the area. We picked a variety of them and they all came out great. I also enjoyed the fact that they do hand rolls as well. The Philadelphia hand roll was delicious! Highly recommend!
Tried my first AYCE sushi place last night and i dont know how i hadnt been before! Shokudo is a sushi factory but all the products are a banger. Its no frills, the lighting is harsh, the decor is not. Its even located in a weird confusing building with offices, gyms, lash studios, and the ghost if the 1990's.But that doesnt matter. We waited 20 minutes on a busy saturday night, and the wait was worrh it. The menu has all your standard sushi house fare, plus a large variety of fun rolls included in the AYCE. We ordered greedily, thinking the portion sizes are small, ransacking the appetizer portion. We did NOT get a sexond round because we overdid it in round 1. The portions are pretty big and all the seafood (calamari, shrimp) were quite substantial. You get three rounds of ordering and for a saturday night its 27.99/adult 13.99/kid. The maki rolls were my favorite. We got a golden dragon, a red dragon, and a pink lady. The fish dishes we gor (including pepper tataki) was very fresh and cold. The staff is busy here, getting their attention is tricky because of how hard they hustle. That doesnt really matter though. The food is delicious, the prices are reasonable, we will forsure be back.
May have found my new favorite local AYCE sushi spot! It's located in a little shopping complex (just follow the signs in the building) They have private rooms to accommodate larger groups which was nice for our party of 7. They checked on us often and our orders arrived pretty quickly. AYCE places tend to have rolls that all taste similar, but Shokudo does a great job with their selection of rolls. Fresh and flavorful! Another nice touch is how little rice they put in their rolls and not try to fill you with it. Some standout rolls include the Green Fire roll and Kill Bill roll. Can't wait to come back (especially for the matcha ice cream)!
This was my first ever All You Can Eat (AYCE) Sushi experience and it was amazing! The restaurant is super cute and cozy, and would make a great date spot. The AYCE Sushi includes hand rolls, special rolls, sashimi, ice cream, salads, and other appetizers. You are allowed to order three times, and as is typical at other AYCE places, you will get charged if you leave any food. The crab and seaweed salad was an amazing start to the meal. The special rolls were all really good and the quality of everything seemed great. I also really enjoyed the chicken teriyaki as a little bit of something different from the fish. At the time, they were running a buy one get one free deal on hot sake, and their house hot sake was very good. The service was also extremely fast and we were shocked at how quickly our special rolls came out. I highly recommend checking this place out and I look forward to checking out their regular menu at some point too.
Finally the renovations are done and it's out with the old Min Ghung & in with the new Shokudo Sake bar! We've been waiting a loooong time since meeting the young idealistic 25 year old Ivan build his dream. Hubby loves the weekend AUCE menu at $27.99. It's a couple bucks less weekdays. Place is clean & bright, service is superb. Water always refilled & replenished food items come out well timed. 7pm Sunday is a light crowd tonight of happy patrons. If you don't partake in all you can eat like me, just order off the menu. I had a couple of rolls & I'm good to go! Price is nice for the two of us. Check out the new remodeled restaurant and Let me know your experiences. "Everything old is new again"! Happy healthy yelping, fellow foodies!
I'm back after being gone for many years. This is the firmer Min Ghung located at 39 New London Tpke #LL5 (far left; second floor of the Glen Lochen mall). The owner remembered me! This is AYCE for only $28. They politely ask you to not leave any sushi rice. There are no "to go" boxes and leftovers will be charged accordingly. You just can't go wrong here. For my first drink, I'm having a Lychee Love made with Tito's Vodka (Grey Goose for me), Lychee nectar and fresh lychee fruit. Oh my! That is filled to the rim (or the crest)! It tastes great! It's not diluted one bit. You get your money's worth here! Another table was RAVING about it! For my first item, I'm having the House Salad (clean, cold iceberg b lettuce). I love this dressing! Next up, I'm having a Miso Soup. Miso soup is a traditional Japanese staple made with fermented soybean paste (miso), broth (dashi), and additional ingredients like tofu, seaweed, and vegetables. Lots of seaweed. This is delicious! It is served hot and quickly I might add! Next up, I'm having the Seaweed Salad. Very good! This is the high quality, solid green type. Yummy! Next up, I'm having the Spicy Jani (crab) Salad. Oh yeah! Good stuff! Best thing I've had so far! Wow! Next up, I'm having the Salmon Kama (fish collar). Oh yes! It is wrapped around kani! These nothing better than this! Add a little ponzu sauce. Wow! Next up, I'm having the Pepper White Tuna Tataki (lightly searing tuna with sesame seeds). Spicy! I like it! Bring it on! Next up, I'm having the Salmon Roe (eggs) sushi. This is truly a taste of the ocean! Next up, I'm having the Edamame (a Japanese term for "beans on a branch", refers to young, green soybeans harvested before they mature and harden). These are good! Nice and salted! Nice music here too. It is very relaxing. You may have noticed my unique way of ordering here. I put the course numbers on the ticket. Although it is not conventional, they have always done it right! They also brought out a small dish with wasabi and ginger. Wasabi is a type of Japanese horseradish. Though wasabi is known primarily as being in paste form, it's actually derived from grating the rhizome root of a plant that's native to Japan. Japanese ginger, also known as myoga, is a leafy herb with a distinctive flavor and crunchy texture. In its natural form, it has quite strong! I believe that competes the first page of my order. For my next drink, I'm having the Guava Cosmo made with Cruzan Guava Rum, Triple Sec and mango juice. Very good! Not as strong as the last one, but that's a good thing. Next up, I'm having the Spicy Tuna HAND ROLL, I love these sushi snow cones! Next up is the Salmon Skin hand roll. These are unique here. They are hard to find anywhere else! These are good! Next up is the Pink Roll. This is a rare, non-rice sushi roll filled with kani (crab) in a soybean wrap with avocado (which I love). No rice makes the sushi might lighter and easier to eat. For dessert, I'm having the Green Tea ice cream. I love the cute, little menu strip of paper. I love this stuff! What a great meal!
The place itself was cute and staff were friendly. We went for ACYE sushi for my cousin's birthday, was also reasonable priced. I was really excited as they had a lot of different specialty rolls than other ACYE places. But I noticed they had no sashimi, which I often get a decent amount of. The BBQ squid was rubbery and squishy at the same time, didn't have the nice charred edges of other places and the barbecue sauce on it wasn't that great. When our food came to the table, it looked nice. It took me a bit to figure why I felt like something was off, the sushi was very mediocre to me and I realized it was the texture of the sushi rice that was ruining the sushi for me. It was sort of mushy. We each got drinks, which were good, I got plum sake, which really just tasted like plum wine to me, but lucky for me, I also like plum wine. The cocktail my cousin got was good too and they had a deal where you get the second drink free, so that was really nice. They never came to refill our water, but we didn't ask either. Took them a while to give us our check, we did have to flag them down for that. Overall, it was ok, but I don't plan on going back.
It has been a few years since I've visited which I will not be making that mistake again! Originally Min Ghung, but is now Shokudo Sake Bar is an AYCE sushi spot located in Glastonbury, CT! My friend and I came on a Thursday for dinner. It quickly picked up but customer service NEVER lacked. We got our food quickly everytime we ordered and were met by such kind people! They explained the menu to us and checked in consistently. The sushi was packed with fish and not overwhelmed with rice as most AYCE places are! The restaurant itself was very clean and the staff makes sure empty plates do not sit on your table for long! I will be returning soon for this local gem. It was delicious, well made, with awesome customer service! Highly recommend!
This place was called 'Min Ghung' previously, but recently has been changed to Shokudo Sake Bar! The place is located in the basement of the building. There is signs leading you to the restaurant when you walk into the building so don't worry, there is less chance for you to get lost. This place has a big parking lot so don't stress out about parking! This is our go to all you can eat sushi place! We went as a group of 4. Ended up ordering a bunch of items from the appetizer menu like, crab tempura, shrimp tempura, kani salad, seaweed salad, chicken katsu, calamari! We also ordered a few special rolls! For drinks we got the Tequila Sunrise and Margarita! We love the service! They are quick and efficient! Friendly to their customers! During our visit it was busy but not too busy. If you are looking for a quick hangout spot with lots of varieties of sushi to try from, I will definitely recommend this spot!
LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. BEST all you can eat sushi! $25.99 (weekday) $27.99 (weekend) not sure what category Friday falls into. They do have a regular menu although I have never ordered off of it! Never have I had bad sushi from here! The variety is fantastic, love you can choose some appetizers, sushi rolls/ pieces, as well as specialty rolls! Favorites starters: Kani salad House salad Chicken katsu Goyza Smoked salmon, tuna, seared salmon and tuna pieces always fantastic! Spicy scallop pieces are to die for! I can go on and on! If you haven't been here worth it! They just remodeled looks great although I miss their old lighting it was more dim. It was too bright in there this time. I also miss when they had fountain soda they only have cans now. A fountain soda is a treat for me wish they would bring it back. They are also not serving alcohol at the moment as they are getting a new liquor license.
Great selection of sushi items! Recommend the Sweet Lady and Kill Bill rolls. Love the matcha green tea ice cream too!
Min Ghung is a sushi restaurant. It is located inside of what appears to be corporate offices. It's for sure a sneaky location. Once you find it, well the secret is out. I've been here many times through the years. They have an all you can eat menu, as well as a regular menu. It was $27.99 when I was there on Sunday for all you can eat sushi. It is a few dollars less during the week. The sushi is always fresh and tasty. I love seaweed salad, their portions are very generous. The mango sushi, (not sure of the exact name) might be my favorite. The edamame is also a big hit. After checking in on Yelp, I was presented with a coupon for 10% off. The service is very pleasant and quick here. If you opt for the all you can eat menu, you'll be given a print out menu, so you can check off all the items you're intrested in. The dessert selection is usually pretty disappointing. They usually never have what I ask for, and the fried banana wasn't very appealing. I suppose you can't have it all. But you can have all the sushi.

Came with a party of 9 (they do take reservations, which we made day of), and got a private room. They are inside the Glen Lochen building. 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. read more
This has been one of my main go to sushi spots in the state for years. Their lychee martinis are some of the best ever and I love any of their rolls with mango on them. The all you can eat option is honestly one of the best because there are so many options to choose from, and their ice cream (if you have room) is also amazing. The service is always impeccable and I love the vibe in here. My friends and I end up here monthly basically because everyone loves this spot. read more

3 things about this restaurant: 1. The interior is different from other restaurants and it was a nice set up! Customers were seated every other table due to the pandemic so they are following strict protocols. Hand sanitizers are given as well. 2. The most important thing at a sushi place is the rice to fish ratio. This place does an amazing job of putting as little as rice they can and stuff the insides with tuna, salmon, imitation crabs, and so much more. Other restaurants put a lot of rice so customers can get full quicker but that is not the case here so I applaud the restaurant! 3. Quality quality quality! Their quality of their sushi/sashimi are AMAZING. If the fish is not fresh, it can taste fishy. I didn't taste any fishy-ness which means they are using high quality items. Although the waiter can forget a couple of things that you ordered and wishing they had more sashimi varieties, I highly recommend coming with friends or family when craving sushi because this was one of the best sushi places I have had in CT! Overall: 4.5/5 read more

I have been to this location a few times but have been avoiding this mall due to my favorite sandwich shop closing up and having no need for a barber or dance lessons. But I decided to head to this mall again and try the couple food places that call it home. My previous impressions were this place was expensive for the area, and you can get fresher sushi for cheaper at a couple different places in the area. Now? It's actually pretty good. I quizzed the front-end staff as to what they would recommend. They were unable to assist, deferring to the menu and stating that it depends on what I wanted. No points off for that, but I like to see if they got something that's off-the-wall or interesting. With no clear options (menu is extensive, but I like they have pictures for their rolls) I chose the roll they put their name on. The min ghung roll was a spicy tuna roll with ahi tuna slices, avacado, tobiko, eel and spicy mayo. The portion was huge! The single roll was easily around a pound of food. It did get a little smushed in transit, but the flavors were still good. The roll was tasty. Not technically a roll, more a layered sushi. The tuna was fresh, the spicy mayo had just enough kick, and the rice was nicely seasoned. Tobiko didn't add much, but it was there. That and I like the eel sauce and spicy mayo combo. Given the price, it's fairly comparable to other locations in the area. If you're looking for sushi. Min ghung is a good option! read more

Food came out quickly. They are very heavy handed on the rice for nigiri sushi and for the rolls. (Like a whole spoonful of rice for each little nigiri) It's insane since they also charge for leftover rice. There is very little variation in the special rolls, since most of them are filled with a spicy fish combination with crunch. Appetizers are good and usually heated fresh. Ordered the salmon tataki but got chopped up salmon sashimi in a pool of soy sauce? Cheapest AYCE I've seen in a while but I would pay a bit more elsewhere to get a better dining experience, with better food. read more

The all you can eat special was $27.99 per person which is the best I've seen! Food was amazing and some of the best sushi in the state. The only bad part that the restaurant needs to work on is faster service. We were there for nearly 2 hours. They took a while brining out the rolls each time and they only had 1 person on waitstaff. The first time I went it took 3 hours. Pro tip would be to order all you want to eat on the first go around. read more
I've been coming here for over 5 years at this point. It's the best all you can eat sushi anywhere. Prices are close to $30/pp on weekends now. I knocked a star off this time because the quality isn't always consistent- some days you get fresher fish than others and some days they pack the nigiri with rice, and some days they don't. Overall, it's still great and the best value you can get for AYCE sushi. read more
If you are looking for All You Can Eat Sushi without sacrificing quantity over quality, Min Ghung is certainly your place. However, there is always one thing that brings my experience downwards to a level just under outstanding. Last time it was the waiting time which is justified with the restaurant appearing to be short staffed at the moment. Next it was the amount of time to get hold of a hostess, she was apologetic and they were busy at the moment as well so I guess it's alright too. But this time it was the quality of the chicken. Chicken Teriyaki was rubbery and it just seemed a little off. Low quality chicken all around but it's OK when it's fried. On the MUCH brighter side, usually all you can eat sushi buffets sacrifce quality for quantity. Everyone usually understands what they sign up for when they go out for all you can eat sushi. Cheap and low quality sushi in abundance that is meant to fill you up quickly. But here at Min Ghung, that trend is not as obvious if the only thjng you order is their special rolls. You will easily make your money back with well above average all you can eat sushi. Everything I ate was quality and I still felt great after dining here. One of my rolls even had white fish blow torched at top and it was one of the best rolls I have ever had in this setting. All their appetizers were great as well but the main selling point is the sushi. It was not sloppy, the ingredients were quality and I could not really tell I was eating at an AYCE sushi buffet. Outstanding. Other than the few hiccups in the past, this is easily the best AYCE sushi restaurant in this area. No second thoughts, it just is. I'm telling you, I am not sure how they are still in business because you make your money back EASILY. read more

We really went ghung ho! I am writing this review in a state of couch ridden paralysis caused by an excessive amount of delicious sushi! My coworker recommended this spot for some post-work good eats, and we were not disappointed! This establishment has lovely decor, friendly and quick service, warm atmosphere, and savory food! Itadakimasu! We got an assortment of food from the kitchen menu, sushi menu, some hot sake (kumpai!), and the desert menu! We got (~takes deep breath~) miso! Rock shrimp! Chicken tempura! Sea weed salad! Spicy crab salad! BBQ squid! Sashimi! Too many rolls of sushi! Hot sake! Mint tea ice cream! Strawberry ice cream! Fried banana! And more! (~exhales~) I don't know how we ate so much food but it was definitely worth my current state of sushi induced catatonia! Gochisosama deshita! read more

The service is impeccable for such a busy restaurant with a one man front end staff. Drinks were well made (also by the front end staff member), and the sushi was delicious. Min Ghung just became my new favorite place to eat. The restaurant is very comfortable with paper lanterns and shelves lining the walls of bottles of saki, very New York boho style. We went for my birthday and it was the best restautant experience I have had in many years. read more

This was my first time here and my boyfriend and I originally came for the all you can eat sushi but ended up deciding it made more sense for us to just order a few special rolls since we wouldn't be able to eat enough to justify the price of the all you can eat. Picking which rolls we were going to get was super challenging cause everything sounded so good! Very happy with our choices though. Everything was very fresh and absolutely delicious! Our favorite was the angry dragon roll! We will definitely be back with a bigger group to try the all you can eat option and taste the rest of their amazing menu! read more

Fair warning, this used to be called Ming Ghung (took longer than necessary to try to find it on yelp) I've frequented this place when it was Ming Ghung years ago and have had a decent experience. Now as Shokudo, they pretty much feature their All You Can Eat menu which includes all their special rolls as well as kitchen appetizers. We came in around 7:30 pm on a Friday and had about a twenty minute wait for a table. When we were seated, we had the AYCE menu presented to us (not sure if you can order a la carte but we didn't ask) We checked off some appetizers and then started off with three special rolls and a regular roll. There is a big disclaimer that any food ordered that isn't finished will be charged accordingly. Weekend prices for all you can eat was $28.99 a person which wasn't too crazy, since two special rolls could easily amount to $30. Our appetizers came out fairly quick but then came the twenty minute wait for anything else. My boyfriend asked for a sprite too and it never came. Our first round of sushi came out (two of the four rolls) and maybe half an hour past before we received our last two rolls. There was a small dessert menu as well but that also added another twenty minutes to the wait time. All in all, we came for 7:30, got seated around 8:00, and didn't leave the restaurant until 9:40pm. We had four rolls total, with five appetizers and two desserts. They were very understaffed because there was just one lady who doubled as the hostess as well as the waitress, hence the long wait time. She was great--she did as much as she could and even though she forgot some items it can't really be her fault. It was annoying however that a few other tables who came in after us were served their food a lot quicker. All in all, I would love to come again as the sushi and appetizers were pretty good, but I will definitely come during a less busy time. read more
