Being able to build your own bowl exactly how you want makes it a great option for a variety of preferences. If you're not into raw fish, they also offer flame-cooked protein, which is prepared right in front of you and adds a cool touch. They also have hot plate options with multiple sides, and the mac was a standout for me.

For one, everything is fresher; two, it's so much better eating from real wares than a plastic one, three, I am able to get extra sauces in-store if I needed. Both times I've been, staff provides excellent service and recommendations I am looking for. Gotta have extra spicy on everything! Their chili crisps sells out often too. I feel like that's the best one to tie it all up. Also can't forget about the fruit teas. Love it all! There's enough seating indoors so they never run out of space, feeling free to enjoy whenever I stop by. Thank you!!

It's located in a plaza and it's a small, cozy spot; there were about 7 tables. I don't think they accept reservations. We went on Saturday for dinner, there were a group of about 15 to 20 and then my family. I was glad we were able to get a table for 4! The service was great! Food came out fast too. My kids had the chicken katsu with fries which they enjoyed. My husband had the sashimi platter and Philly roll, which he said was fresh and tasty. I ordered 3 sushi rolls: Dragon Roll- it had crispy tempura shrimp, avocado wrapped in sushi rice and nori seaweed; it was topped with eel sauce and sesame seeds. Shrimp Tempura Roll- which had Tempura Shrimp, Avocado, Cucumber, Tobiko, and Homemade Eel Sauce Spicy Crunchy Tuna Roll- fresh minced tuna, seaweed, rice, and I believe popped rice to make it crunchy Honestly, all delicious. I couldn't find a negative. The sushi were fresh and innovative. The menu had so many delicious options that I wanted to try all of it in one sitting, if I was a rich sumo wrestler lol. Yes, it's worth the hype and I'll be back soon!

We ended up going to happy hour on a Saturday which was a nice surprise. We ordered for appetizers the scallion pancakes, crab rangoon and pork gyoza which all was super good and tasted fresh. For sushi we ordered the Sakura Roll which was my favorite, the orange dragon roll which tasted good, but I think could have used more of the orange sauce. We also ordered the sweet potato roll and spicy tuna roll. The sushi tasted so good and fresh. What I really enjoyed was seeing the interactions between local/regular customers and the staff. Very warm and makes me want to continue to support this particular local business. Plus the food was great. I will definitely be back!

This has to be one of my favorite spots in Waterbury. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that…read moreI've visited this restaurant more than two dozen times. The staff here is always incredibly kind and they give amazing portions. They recently redesigned the seating area and have new chairs and tables, very stylish. I love getting the Chicken Gone Wild or Land and Sea. Although the sauce goes well with it, I tend to replace it with the Poke Sauce. Ever since trying it, it's one of my favorite sauces there. My usual is the Chicken Gone Wild bowl with white rice, mixed greens, without the seaweed and tend to add different vegetables in there. I've tried most of the boba there as well, one of my favorites is the Taro Bubble Tea, it reminds me of cereal milk if I had to compare it to something. Others I like are the Strawberry and Mango Bubble Tea, either boba or fruit jelly tastes good with it. This will always be a place I'll catch myself getting addicted to stopping by every now and then. I love feeling great after my meal because it contains both greens and protein. Love this place and is a great addition to Waterbury!

Nothing memorable about the service but the food was memorable in a less than positive way. The rice wasn't that good on my visit.

We really only order the poke bowls- but we had to try the Mexican side once out of sheer curiosity... and it didn't disappoint. We ordered some tacos and a quesadilla (neither pictured, I forgot to post.) I loved the crab Rangoon, super crispy and very tasty. They also have a very good Thai tea- the large is a good portion. We usually do the 2-protein or 3-protein bowl. You can jam pack it full of fun ingredients- depending on which delivery platform you use, sometimes the ingredients may vary slightly. They also have a website you can order directly through (qmenu) if you don't feel like using UberEats- but it doesn't always work. You can always call your order in, of course. The food is always ready on time. Always fresh.

On a warm, sunny day I was craving a poke bowl, but knew that my go-to place has sadly closed. I…read moredon't live near the center of Newington so I was unaware that Mom and Pop's existed (and has for about four years, apparently - oops!). Once again, Yelp to the rescue. I was confused when I first checked the menu options on the website because literally every choice said 'unavailable.' To be fair, it was 10:42AM and they open at 11. However, this remained the case until closer to noon, at which point I was able to build my own bowl. Picking two proteins was easy but they don't really make it clear how many mix-ins and toppings you can have, so I probably shorted myself. Ultimately I chose salmon and tuna with white rice, carrots, cilantro, pickled ginger, and green onions. After placing my order I waited for the promised email, which never came. Finally, after about 20 min, I saw that my order was 'complete' and headed over, miraculously scoring a parking spot right in front. Once inside it was more confusion as there is no dedicated pickup area, Mom was in her own prep and chop mode, and Pop was focused solely on walk-in orders. But after managing to catch his attention I was on my merry way, with a somewhat underwhelming poke bowl, ONE napkin, and the offer of chopsticks (which I declined). A takeout bag would've been appreciated but was not provided. Back at home I surveyed the bowl before digging in. Everything was accounted for and the fish was good. The rice tasted like yesterday's leftovers, though, and I've never been served cilantro stems instead of leaves. Again, the bowl was fine; not the best poke I've ever had, but I'd be willing to give them a second chance and perhaps choose some different or additional fixings next time.
