I called afterwards and was told he'd replace it but I should call in a week since he's so busy. I left a message with no response - it's been over a month. Not impressed with their service. Not sure if they are a restaurant or only a food truck - trying to be both but not accomplishing it well. Out $65 won't try then again.

Then two had the Salmon , one had Risotto and one had a chicken Caesar. The salmon came with zucchini and summer squash, no starch, which was fine. The fish was beautifully cooked , skin on. The risotto had fresh peas and pea shoots. The bowl was finished and declared delicious . Our server was very friendly and knowledgeable , checked back appropriately. I highly recommend this great restaurant in downtown Shelton.

This was my second time coming to Chaplin. First time was with a girlfriend in a couple of months…read moreago and I just had to bring my family from New York. We were helping my sister move all day so we came with a huge appetite. While we didn't have reservations, We were warmly welcomed, and given the weather the host was super kind and allowed us to wait inside and even grab some drinks while we waited. We had a couple of different drinks. My personal favorite is the ginger and pearl and the drink with the egg whites. I honestly forgot the name, but it is so good. While not pictured we did get a whole bunch of different appetizers. The brussels sprouts, the muscles, the sourdough bread were also delicious. For main course, we got the tomahawk steak with mashed potatoes and mushrooms, the burger, the steak frites , and the mac & cheese, which is actually on the appetizer menu. Everything was so good. We literally demolished everything that was on the table. All staff members are incredibly kind and the vibes were great We will 100% be returning.

If the Men in Motion ever head there again, we will definitely be back!

Mother's Day at Sushi Kingdom Japanese Restaurant was busy, chaotic, and honestly still a really…read moregood time This place was PACKED. You could tell moms were being celebrated everywhere, families were out enjoying themselves, and despite the crowd, the atmosphere still felt fun and lively instead of stressful. They offer an all-you-can-eat menu with a huge variety of sushi, seafood options, and buffet station, which definitely felt worth the price considering how much food is available. Without a reservation, the wait looked pretty long, so I'd definitely recommend calling ahead on holidays or weekends. Even with how crowded it was, the service stayed good throughout the night. The ordering system uses tablets at the table, and because of how busy it was, a few of my orders didn't go through the first time. I mentioned it to our server and he immediately addressed the issue, made sure I reordered everything, and continued checking in to make sure our food was arriving correctly. I also appreciated how accommodating the staff was. I asked for a chicken sushi roll and they made one for me I did have to reorder the seafood boil before receiving it, but the servers stayed attentive, communicated with us, and handled concerns professionally the entire time. What stood out most was that despite the chaos, everyone still seemed to be enjoying themselves. The staff was clearly working hard, but they stayed friendly and attentive throughout the Mother's Day rush. Overall, the food was good, the vibe stayed positive, and it still ended up being an enjoyable holiday dinner with friends and family. Definitely a spot I'd come back to; just with a reservation next time

We also got drinks which I did not take a picture of, it was a frozen mango margarita and a passion fruit sunrise and both were just the right amount of alcohol and flavor. We went around mid day so the restaurant was not busy at all. All services provided were quick and efficient and we were in and out in about an hour and a half. I would definitely recommend this spot for any seafood lovers!
