Kawa Ni

Definitely coming back. The food is incredible, everything is delicious. We had the tofu pockets, cabbage salad, pork ribs, pork belly bahn mi. I recommend everything. Im not even a fan of tofu and Im ordering again when I come back

Everything was perfect throughout this great experience and wonderful first time going to Kawa Nai. Food was delicious 🤤 especially the yuzu cheesecake so very yummy. Service was superb. Had like three servings of dumplings I wish I had more. Looking forward to going back in the near future.

I come back again and again and am so happy with the service here. I’ve even taken my boss and a double date here because of how delicious it is! Next time I gotta make sure to buy some merch :) Waiters and bartenders are super friendly and the manager as well. There’s an automatic 20% tip included, but the staff really do deserve it for their great work. There was unfortunately an unexpected medical emergency last night with a patron but the staff handled it really well, they were swift and respectful. Photos of matcha tiramisu, kimchi carbonara, spicy lamb dan dan noodles and miso salmon bowl. The pork and garlic ramen bowl here is unmatched and the kimchi carbonara is such a creative and surprising delicious twist.

This is what you have been searching for - please stop-order anything. It was a joy to find this extraordinary spot. Addictive cabbage - just start here and it’s a ladder to Candy Land! You won- 🏅 this is the pot of gold under the rainbow 🌈! Enjoy 😉

Very cool restaurant. Highly recommend those who eat a lot of traditional sushi and want to experience the next level. Everything was fresh, and I really enjoyed their take on anime with some of these dishes as well. It speaks to the new generation of Asian food lovers. We traveled from DC and I will never forget my wonderful experience. Thank you!

We heard about this place from my brother. The food and the atmosphere was wonderful. Service was exceptional. I would have given them 4 or 5 rating but when we checked out the bill had a 20% gratuity added for the back of the house. What is that all about? That feels like it is fraud posting prices on the menu but charging you 20% more when check out. Because of that I would NOT recommend this place to anyone. If you need to charge 20% more to pay your kitchen stall then increase your prices don’t try to be sneaky about it! Your customers should report you to the State Attorney General.

We had such a fun dinner here last night. My friend and I showed up to a busy restaurant, no reservation, but they thankfully had room at the bar. The staff was so attentive and friendly, even while clearly being extremely busy. Our food took a while but we didn’t mind as we were there to catch up. But the bartender noticed and offered us Mochi on the house. We were thrilled and loved the entire experience. I already made a reservation to come back in two weeks!

If I had to eat at one restaurant for the rest of my days, it would be this one! We ordered a plethora of food and every time something new came out, it was better than the last dish! Phenomenal food/experience! Karaage Don & the pork ribs were my astounding favorites but we dug right in so didn’t take a picture 🥲😅 We also got the crab fried rice, gyoza, crab Rangoon, the biang biang chicken bao, 4 strawberry mochi, & matcha tirimisu. As for drinks, my fav was the sake-it-tumi!! Everything was soooo delicious and beautiful and the whole experience was fabulous! Can’t wait to return!

Very tasty bites, very cool spot, busy Was on the drive and happened to be in this area. We veered course to try this place out. It's a Japanese pub, made high scale and very casual. There's lots of seating, but the parking lots probably the more difficult place to find a spot. Thankfully there was a person around to help everyone navigate around. The severs were very friendly and checked in multiple times through the meal. The food came out in rapid succession and the food was absolutely delicious. Everything was seasoned and balanced. The Crab Rangoons were small but packed to the gills with crab, savory and crisp. They seasoned the outside of the Rangoons, and the house made duck sauce had a delightful heat to them. The barn mi had great pork belly bits, lots of noodles and slaw, loved the mayo, and the bread was crispy but still soft. The dumplings were good along with the karrage. The flavor was great, but not to our pallets. The chicken was very tender and the coating was light. Was a little too sweet for us though. The dumplings had a bit too much oil, but the spices and filling were well done. The plates were small and the price was high, but the quality and the service made the price worth it. I'm fine with price so long as the quality was there, and this place has it in spades. Worth a trek to try, and a great place to get a bite.

Food is ok. my favorite is the lobster temaki out of everything. The chicken wings is similar to Korean chicken wings but a bit dry inside and it must go with beers otherwise it'll be too salty. Ramen tends towards the salty side, thick pork belly. Fyi Additional 20% will be automatically add to the bill for 5 ppl.

What an amazing dining experience!! Definitely recommend a reservation - unless you want to sit at the bar, which we did. A Japanese pub!! So cool. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was casual elegance. Meaning come as you are, but it's pricey so be aware. Beautiful restaurant. The food was delicious!! If you can recognize quality ingredients along with the skill needed to pull off these dishes, you will not mind the price point. In our opinion worth every penny. Definitely a new take a Japanese cuisine in the area, but definitely worth the experience. If we lived closer this would definitely be added into our monthly rotation.

My second time at Kawa Ni as it comes highly recommended by one of my colleagues who lives in the area. The food is consistently good and so inventive. The favorite of this visit was the red thai curry onigiri, which we ordered out of curiosity but was so delicious we fought over who would finish the curry! A recurring favorite is the addictive cabbage and the pork dumplings! The restaurant itself is so nice and I love the decorations and the variety of small plates they have and the service is always outstanding, the wait staff is very attentive and happy to answer any questions on the menu items

My only complaint is that I was too full to finish everything. My goodness was everything just so great here. From the service to the food, I didn't know Westport was so freaking good!!! Things you need in your life: -Shaved Broccoli -Steak Tartare (NEW to the menu and an absolute MUST) -Shrimp dumpling (comparable to DTF IYKYK) -Cold Sesame Noodles -Salmon Temaki (probably my least favorite but still good) -Cool as a.... (Gin based drink that's sooooooo refreshing) I always look forward to coming here when I'm in town!

Time: September 2024 Place: the exterior and interior is gorgeous! I almost felt like I was transported back to Japan. The interior has a clean wooden design, with pretty posters and greenery interspersed. There is also a parking lot in front, but space may be limited. Service was friendly and quick! Food: overall, the taste of all the dishes were yummy-- with an emphasis on the umami flavor of each dish. - pork and garlic ramen: generous portion sizing and ample ingredients (I made it into two meals). The broth had a great color, and was creamy and salty. However, it did lack some depth of flavor, making it filling quickly. The pork belly was thick sliced, but overall still tender (a tad stringy). The runny egg was perfect though! Noodle texture was good, but shape was similar to thicker angel hair pasta. Overall, it was a warming bowl of ramen, but not one of my top places for ramen - Szechuan dumplings: my favorite dish for sure! The sauce it came in was a perfectly complex mix of tangy, salty, and umami. The dumplings were cooked well, but the sauce was ultimately what elevated the dish. I will say that it was only mildly spicy - tuna temaki: the rice was seasoned to be slightly tart and savory, which paired well with the fresh tuna. The seaweed was like regular seaweed, but the presentation was cute Overall, this place is a nice place to go but it is on the more expensive side. It would be a good date or special occasion spot.

This is a cute spot for Japanese fusion food. Parking can be a challenge so give yourself ample time. We started off with sake and had the following: Bang bang chicken bao- delicious Lamb Dan Dan noodle- generous portion, great for sharing Gyoza- great Chicken karaage: delicious Everything served here is family style so order a bunch of dishes to share!

Kawa Ni serves the coziest, most satisfying ramen I've had in Connecticut in a long time. The shaved broccoli salad was a standout--unique and packed with flavor. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for a relaxed meal.

Absolutely amazing food. Elevated, with a fun spin. The flavor is elevated but the ambiance is casual. The chicken wings were very crunchy with a rice crispy coating and a sweet tangy sauce. The dumplings were fresh and spicy. The udon had such a unique flavor profile. we came for happy hour on Friday and it was packed at 430. I would say you need a reservation or you may end up sitting at the bar. I can't wait to return. Some people dislike the 20% included service fee but I love it. It ensure waitstaff are compensated and every table has a good experience.

I almost don't want to give Kawa Ni a great review as the popularity of the place is already quite strong. Excellent starter is the shaved broccoli. I am fond of the udon with pork, my dinnermates often choose the lamb noodles. Very original pairing of spices and creative interpolation or interpretation of cultural dishes. Makes a lasting impression!

We came to Kawa Ni for my birthday celebration. We did the sake bomb with the manager and it was so fun! I wanted a low key bday lunch and ordered pretty much everything on the menu. Food is great and company is the best.

Five star dining experience at Kawa Ni.. casual, unique, but laid back and homey dining experience. We loved the ambiance and presentation of our meals. Kawa Ni puts a special twist on Japanese pub styled dining unlike any other eateries in the area. The crab fried rice was loaded with crab and the sauce in the kaarage don bowl was unforgettably tasty. The creamy spicy tuna nigiri lived up to its name. We can't wait to go back again.

Second time here it was just as great as the first time. Came for a small bite to eat. The expansion looks great also. We ordered the chicken baos, and drink . Happy specials . Service was pleasant. Will return .

There were two of us for dinner and they put a 20% automatic tip on our bill. You can't be more arrogant and presumptuous than that. The service was OK not great and they did not give us the flexibility of adjusting our own tip, which is unacceptable. Last time we're going. There's better food elsewhere.

Incredible flavors, refined cuisine, highly recommend the tuna Nigiri or any nigiri in general. Great cocktail selection.

We stopped at this restaurant en route to Mystic and it was absolutely a lovely surprise! With our kids in tow - we were greeted by lovely servers who helped us choose from the delicious menu. We got your udon, sushi, fried chicken and udon soup. Everything was scrumptious. This is definitely a place to go if you're nearby.

The service was great. The food was spectacular. It was so nice to try something new and really like it! The only downside is the lack of parking. There is street parking a couple blocks away, but be prepared for the potential to have to park offsite. Still an amazing place. Will be back for sure!

This restaurant did not live up to expectation. My colleague had raved about this place so I had great hopes. The food was generally on the salty side. Of the eight dishes we had ordered, the fried chicken and the pork belly ramen were the best.

Never a bad thing to say about this place . It's local favorite. The drinks and food both are amazing .. Shaved broccoli salad is amazing . They have quiet. A few Vegan options .

I give 5 stars because I like spicy, my dad on the other hand would have given 4 because in his words not everything has to be spicy. Very cute place with a small parking lot that works perfectly in the area for Saturday lunch. We decided on about 10 dishes for us three to try so we would also have plenty leftover to bring home. Our waitress was very attentive and helpful with bringing fresh clean plates and bowls as we all enjoyed the dishes family style. My favorite dish was the kani salad for the pure fact it's the best I've ever had. Completely fresh no odor or strong taste and the added mint was a great touch. The chicken karaage with the goddess sauce was perfectly cooked crispy and juicy. The shaved broccoli was delightful for a cold salad with the pork slices. Szechuan dumplings...i wanted more they were so good! The red curry coconut tofu and squash onigiri was very good, strong spice and flavor be careful drinking down the broth quickly you can sting your throat a good lot but very wonderful overall. The kimchi carbonara was delectable, Napa cabbage was perfectly cooked, noodles a little toothy but that raw egg yolk to be blistered open over the noddles was amazing umami flavor. The pork banh mi was the best I've had since a place up in Maine of all places. Two mentions that i wouldn't order again for my own taste buds were the orange ginger beer as it was a bit too strong on the ginger and the honey nut with the fish flakes. My father however really enjoyed the honey nut with fish flakes so if you like those then it's probably a good try for you. He agreed with the strong ginger flavor in the orange ginger beer and we left half the glass on the table, not worth the $10 to me.

The ambiance is a cute water front sushi place in Westport. Make a reservation for a Friday night because this place does fill up. Even without a reservation, there is a small rooftop bar to order drinks and wait. It overlooks the river and is lit up. The menu has so many yummy options. Everything sounds good. The food tastes exactly how it sounds and looks. It's perfectly flavored and paired very nice with sake. The waitress gave great recommendations.

Went for the first time for dinner last evening. Didn't have a reservation, but we were promptly seated at the bar. Restaurant was busy, the service was fabulous, drinks were great and we were so happy with our food selections. Food portions were all decent sizes. Will definitely return to try different items on the menu. We were eyeing our neighbors food and had broccoli salad envy, will try next visit.

We heard this place gets packed, so we decided made a reservation through Open Table. The service and ambiance were outstanding. It's the kind of place you will want to frequent. Some dishes were big hits for us and others were misses, but what I will say is that there was creativity and bold flavors in every dish. We started out strong with the most delicious and refreshing cucumber non-alcoholic drink. It went exceptionally well with the rich food we ordered. We ended up ordering several refills throughout the course of our meal. We started out with the Honey Nut Squash Miso Soup. My husband enjoyed it, but said it didn't resemble a miso soup at all. Although he liked it, he would try something else next time. We also had the Miso Cucumbers. These weren't some sad soft and bland cucumbers. They were well seasoned and had a great crunch to them. We would order these again. Next, we had the Fried Chicken Wings. Amazing! The texture is everything you could ever want in a chicken wing. I'm not the biggest fan of honey, so it was a bit too much honey for me, but I loved the sweetness it brought. I would 100% order these wings again. These are the closest dupe to the perfect fried chicken wings at Wangs in Brooklyn, NY. Our meal was definitely stronger with the appetizers For our entrees, my husband ordered the Nana (raw) tuna and I had the Bahn Mi. The tuna basically came swimming in what looked like soy sauce. My husband found it to be extremely salty. To the point of being inedible. The tuna was cut very thickly. Run tuna that thick is hard to eat. The tuna was stringy and it sort of ruined the whole meal for him. I had the Bahn Mi, which was okay, but not my favorite. It wasn't balanced - leaned too strongly on being cloyingly sweet with nothing to truly break up the sweetness. We would skip both of these dishes next time. For dessert, my husband wanted to forget the tuna and ordered the Matcha Tiramisu. My husband liked it, but I wasn't a fan. It's not much of a tiramisu. It was pretty much all custard with barely any ladyfingers. It didn't have much flavor. I would definitely skip. Although the first half of the meal was stronger than the second, the first half was truly outstanding and the menu has so many wonderful options, that we will definitely return to try more. We saw several people around us order the shaved broccoli salad and it looked delicious. We will definitely try it next time.

Had a 6:30 reservation on a Wednesday night, so parking and a table were not a problem. It is a little hard to find, though, using Waze because it is tucked in the corner of Bridge Square (in the Dunkin plaza) and the name of the restaurant is not in English. The interior is elegant and the tables nicely spaced. The restaurant was full by 7-7:30. Service was excellent, with several servers working together and providing helpful information about the dishes. We started with Kani Salad while waiting for a friend who was stuck in traffic. It was delicious, creamy and a nice mix of crab and vegetables. We later got an order of the Addictive Cabbage, which is made up of crunchy cabbage dressed with a flavorful vinegary dressing. The menu has a lot of Japanese names for the food and ingredients, so it was hard to know what was what! We spent a little time googling ingredients and finally had to trust the kitchen. Have no fear, they do a wonderful job here with their dishes - so creative and delicious. I ordered the Pork & Garlic Ramen. I was told by the server that the noodles come separately as they are "dipping noodles," and are meant to be dipped into the soup, which is thicker than a ramen broth. I don't know if I was doing it right, but I ended up spooning this thick, rich "broth" which was more like a sauce right onto the noodles. It was amazing! The "broth" came with black garlic, crispy pork belly, bok choy and half a softish boiled egg. The entire dish was so delicious - I will be dreaming about it for a very long time. My friend ordered the Spicy Lamb Dan Dan, which I tasted. It was flavorful and spicy. My other friend ordered the Pork Belly Bahn Mi, which the kitchen cut into 3 pieces to allow for sharing. None of the dishes are large, but there was enough to share if you wanted to, and there were no leftovers for any of us. To finish the night, we ordered the Matcha Tiramisu, which was composed of matcha soaked ladyfingers lining a small glass then filled with plain, fresh whipped cream. It was light and the flavors were not overwhelming, just as Matcha is supposed to taste. Since another reviewer mentioned it, I am also going to note that the non-gender bathroom is its own adventure. The toilet seat is heated and there is a panel with buttons which, if you care to explore, triggers the bidet features of the toilet. I share it just to give fair warning to the unsuspecting! All in all, Kawa Ni is a great restaurant with innovative food choices, great service and a cool toilet! I would definitely go back if I was in the area!

Stopped by on a Saturday afternoon without a reservation and thankfully was early enough to be able to grab a seat at the bar. The broad, creative menu made it very difficult to decide what to order. Ended up having the Peekytoe Crab Rangoon, Spicy Tuna Nigiri and Miso Pork & Garlic Ramen - all were excellent. The Last Train to Kyoto drink recommended by my server/bartender Daren (who was very friendly and helpful) was also terrific - highly recommend if you are looking for a drink in the sweeter side. Only wish that I lived closer to Kawa Ni so that I could go back and try more items!

We were exploring yelp and my wife decided on this restaurant since we were in the area. The restaurant was located in a small plaza on a busy corner. Parking is very limited but luckily we came right before the dinner rush. For starters we had the fried wings, takoyaki, smoked bone marrow, short rib onigiri and salmon hand roll. The wings were good. It was sweet and had a little kick to it. Even though it was a wet sauce it was still crispy. I was highly disappointed in the bone marrow. The smoke took away from the flavor of the bone marrow. It was like eating bbq sauce on a bone. I love bone marrow too and was excited to see it on the menu. The takoyaki is really good. I would try to eat it as soon as it hits the table otherwise the takoyaki would soak up the sauce and would get soggy. Salmon hand roll was ok. I wouldn't recommend it. Salmon was a bit dry surprisingly. Short rib onigiri was really good. It was a braised short rib with crispy rice. Sorry my wife took a couple bites of it before I could get a picture. For the main course we had the trout mazeman along with the pork and garlic ramen. I would not recommend the the trout mazeman. Even though it was a broth less noodle it was quite wet and sauce was not pleasant. It had a dill taste to it. It does go away after a few bites but it still lingered. I had a little bit of the ramen and thought it was a little salty for my taste. The pork was braised which was unusual since I'm used to it being a chashu. My son enjoyed it and ate majority of it. My overall experience was so so. The waiter did tell me the menu does change often so I might give it another try when it does. The baos looked really good when I saw it coming out when others ordered it. People seemed liked they were enjoying it when eating it.

Great food and drinks I recommend ordering a bunch of dishes and sharing with friends

This an exceptional restaurant. Everything from the service to ambiance to the food to the bathroom (yes, the bathroom!) is 5-stars. Came here for a lunch so I didn't get to try all the drinks but that'll be for next time. The recommendations our server gave us were great and my family and I loved all of the food we tried save for two dishes that were extremely salty. However, when I mentioned this to the server/host when they came by to check on us the host immediately said he'd take both dishes off the bill and apologized. We didn't even ask for this but they did this voluntarily. This is the first time a restaurant did something like this for us and because of that honest gesture I had to give this place 5 stars because honestly mistakes happen and it speaks to the high-class management and hospitality exhibited in this restaurant. I would gladly come back here again and I plan to next time I am in the area. I'll definitely bring other friends and family to share this place with them.

I've been here twice and and it's a winner. There's simply nothing typical about it. Interesting Asian-inspired food perfectly proportioned for grazing the night away...addicting cabbage, pork banh mi, spicy tuna, lo mein noodles and more were some of our choices as we sat at the bar slurping down martinis and Gibson's. I was impressed they knew how to make a sauzerac cocktail. Next time that's my beverage of choice. Parking is iffy...get there early.

We have been going to this restaurant since 2014 and was among one of the few best Japanese restaurant then. This place was a gem, with their interior design and decors, it made the place very comfortable. This past week, we've decided to try this place again since we have been back since the pandemic. We've noticed the change immediately when we walked in. They have expanded the place and can see they tried to keep the place as comfortable as before. The staff is as friendly as before. We were seated immediately, followed by a menu. We order a couple of stuff from the menu and we're served with our appetizer very shortly. The appetizer that we ordered is a new dish and our high expectations of this place suddenly fell apart after the first bite. We thought perhaps it is just this dish. We waited for our next course which took a very long time to come out. When it arrives we took pick up the food with our chopstick and immediately found hair stuck in the food. We told the manager and he immediately resolved the issue with a new plate of food. After we took the first bite of our entrees, we again was very disappointed in the food. The food was either very salty or not flavored enough. The quality of food is definitely not as good as before. I wish we had a better experience but for now we will stay away from this place and enjoy our food experience elsewhere.

In Westport near the Saugatuck Bridge, the food was excellent, especially the chicken boa buns and the cucumbers. Service was very attentive and friendly, stylish casual atmosphere. Only issues were finding it, it's right near Dunkin', but GPS put me in a residential area. Also parking is tricky as there are many businesses in the same plaza and had to park across the street in another restaurants parking lot.

this is not a review but a question. lovely kawa ni people, when is the short rib onigiri coming back? it's the best thing on the menu. also, this is the best place in westport, hands down.

The pork & garlic ramen and spicy kai udon were good. The broths were flavorful and not too salty, and the texture of both the ramen and the udon were excellent! Portion sizes were good as well. The scallop nigiri appetizer was overpriced and underwhelming. The rice was deep-fried and hard, kind of like a stale tater tot. There was only a very thin slice of scallop and it was difficult to appreciate the taste and texture of the scallop because of the rice tot. Overall, the flavor was interesting, but it wasn't the nigiri we were expecting and it was very expensive for what it was!

AMAZING!!! Moved to Fairfield county in August and so far this is mine and my husband's favorite restaurant. Make a reservation well in advance, particularly if going for dinner.

What a gem! The food was amazing - the Szechuan Dumplings were delicious with the fried garlic on top. The pork belly Bahn Mi has ruined all other Bahn Mi sandwiches for me. They'll never size up to this one. Perfectly crunchy baguette, flavorful pork belly, kewpie was the finishing touch. This was honestly the best one I've ever had. And the ramen was hearty and satisfying. Ambience was warm and inviting. Staff were very friendly and helpful in answering questions. You are missing out if you've not been. It will be a regular stop for us.

I took a star off because some of the dishes were too salty for me. Otherwise, the dishes were creative and can be delicious if they were not overly salted or drowned in mayonnaise. One of the better restaurants in the area. Parking is limited and there aren't that many seats. Come earlier if you want a table.

I really wanted to love this place. The menu is very creative and our waitress was very nice and helpful. Here are the reasons I only give it 2 stars: 1. The food is WAY TOO SALTY!!!! Especially the egg in ramen, it's like sitting in salty for months. I had to spit it out immediately. Crab fried rice and short rib nigiri are also very much overly seasoned. 2. After all the overpowering small dishes, our garlic ramen is tasteless. I honestly had much better ramen in Japanese grocery stores. Do not come here for ramen. 3. They auto charge you a 20% tip. I've never seen this practice anywhere. We're a party of 2. We would've tipped our lovely waitress 20% anyway, but it's just a bad taste. Wish they could disclose it beforehand.

Overall: Interesting place. A little pricey. Not sure it's worth going out of your way. But, I would try again. I think we just ordered the wrong things, or didn't understand the menu? Crab Rangoon were tasty. Although the crab inside was the stringy imitation crab, not real crab. Ashamed to admit I kind of like imitation crab, so wasn't a big deal, but for $16, that's a zonk. I was expecting real crab. But, I would get this again. Spinach: Tasty and large portion. Very salty, likely due to it being soaked in ponzu sauce. Saltier as we got to the bottom of the pile. For $16, expensive for some spinach... Probably because of using the word "truffle" on the menu? Did not taste truffle. Salty and pricey are a zonk. I would not get this again. Poke bowl: Dry. The fish was good, but nothing special, just normal sushi fish. Rice was super dry. It needed a liquid or sauce, so we ordered a side of kewpie. Zonk for having to add something to make the dish tasty. Wife agreed that it was dry. I would not get again. Tan Tan Chicken Udon: Unexpectedly was more like an Italian Bolognese. Wife did not like. I think the description on the menu could be better. Wife nor I would get again. Drinks: I got beer (nothing special about that, but it came in a small glass, not a normal pint glass, which always upsets me). Wife got cocktail. The cocktail drinks were very very good. I think I'd come here again just for the drinks. Atmosphere: Pretty cool. Small place. Not much else to say. Service: Excellent! The people working were very attentive, explained the menu, gave suggestions, and were very friendly. (There is an automatic 20% tip regardless of party size. I usually do 20%+ anyway, so that was kind of awkward to see a big part of the menu space taken to explain that). Cost: Expensive for what it is. The wife wanted to go for our anniversary. So I was ok making the trip and splurging. But we drove 30 minutes and had $16 spinach soaked in ponzu?

Came here with my boyfriend and loved it ! We sat at the bar and it was intimate and cozy. If you're looking for good Asian food in ct this is def a pick!

My favorite restaurant in town. Well worth trying. Love sitting at the bar - and in the right weather they have a cool rooftop to grab a cocktail while waiting for a table. Dont remember ever trying something I didnt enjoy. Bartender is always friendly and can mix a great drink. When in Westport - add it to the list of must try/not to he missed eateries!

I'm giving it 5 stars because the food and cocktails were excellent. We did a bit of a sampler and ordered lots of different items off the menu. They were all super. Lots of thought a depth in each dishes flavor profile. Ambiance is just OK. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Will definitely return.

Probably the best restaurant in the area. Vibe/Atmosphere: 10 Service: 10 Food: 10 Cocktails: 10 Left feeling so happy with our experience, and so upset that we hadn't been here sooner. We've recommended it to just about everyone we've talk to since eating there last week. Fantastic restaurant.

I standby that this is the best restaurant in Westport. Everything on the menu is fantastic. They even accommodated me and my family without a reservation if we could be quick (which we always are) and very much appreciate them working with us rather than just turning us away

We got our rolls for takeout- they were delicious and fresh and packaged very nicely.

Oof, this ain't it chief. I'm all for asian fusion, but it has to at least taste good. The ramen here is a prime example of asian fusion gone wrong. Their spicy miso broth is overwhelmed by the taste of korean red pepper paste. First of all, why the heck are they putting gochujang in their ramen?? The pork belly they use is just lechon kawali (fried pork), not the melt-in-your-mouth braised pork belly in traditional ramen. Also, they tried to get away with using cantonese wonton noodles instead of normal ramen noodles in the pork & garlic ramen! You can fool the basic folks out here but you CAN'T FOOL ME! The cherry on top was the overly salty soysauce egg that probably had 1000mg of sodium in it. For the love of god and all that is holy, stay away from the ramen here! I should mention that the Asian demographic in this area is slim to none, so perhaps this restaurant is perfect for the community it serves.

Simply put, the best restaurant in Fairfield County. The food is amazing & the space is very comfortable. I've been going for a few years now and have never seen a dip in the food quality. Can't wait to go again!

This restaurant has a killer menu! Talk about unique flavors and spin on more traditional dishes. Absolutely loved everything from the kawa ni martini to my pickled veggies. Highly recommend

I would want little more in a restaurant -- delicious food, nice room, and friendly service. I guess I do want to say up front that I was, however, surprised to have a 20% tip added to the bill for a party of two. So watch out for that. Otherwise, everything was great, nicely paced, and delicious. My daughter and I had the CREAMY SPICY TUNA NIGIRI, the SZECHUAN PORK dumplings, the PORK BELLY BAHN MI, and the SPICY MISO ramen with karaage. Additionally, I had a nice cocktail. It was all great and there are so many other things on the menu I want to try! I'll just be watching out for that added tip. I will admit I care more about "delicious" than 100% authentic and recognize that this restaurant does take some liberties in their interpretations. I like that myself. No photos, sorry.

Food is delicious! Service fantastic. Crowded on weekends but worth it. The food is traditional and I piping hot when arriving at table. Waitstaff never pushes even when people waiting
