I am so grateful we found this place! The food is my favorite and the service is beyond amazing! They remember your orders and preferences, and we are always greeted with such amazing warmness and hospitality! The cooking here is absolutely incredible and the restaurant is owned by a family who genuinely strive to do their best and make everyone feel at home… And they absolutely succeed! I can’t recommend this place enough. I am vegan and always find food that I absolutely love here my boyfriend is a meat eater and also raves about everything he’s had! I love it for dining in antique out as well as Saturday night drinks!

Excellent Sushi ? so fresh, amazing Thai been going there for over 11 years. You will not be disappointed. It's family-owned. It's more than just Sushi it has Thai,Seafood, Curry and of course freshest Sushi around! xopuma

This is my go-to spot for sushi. They have a menu of general asian fusion stuff and in my experience it has all been good — but Sushi is really why I seek this place out.

I was really looking forward to trying this place because we are desperate for good Thai in Stamford. But we had takeaway from here, and I should’ve known it wouldn’t be good just from the smell it had in my car. I literally said “why does it smell like dog food in here” not realizing we had the food in the back seat. We ended up throwing the entire pad Thai and baby back ribs away - the noodles were completely soggy and they tasted like dish water. The ribs smelled like bad, sour meat. The yellow curry was the most watered down I’ve ever seen, no texture or flavor, just watery yellow liquid. It had this awful, gooey chicken in it that was the same chicken in the tom kha soup - it seemed almost breaded? I can only imagine how long it was frozen for. The sushi was the only thing we ate, and it was tolerable at best. I feel bad posting this but it was honestly the worst take out meal we’ve ever had. Really, really disappointing. If you have a good Thai place in the area, please let me know.

Let me be abundantly clear that if it were possible to give this place less than one star, then I would. My family had a reservation, and when we walked in there, there was only one more family in the restaurant, and they were already eating. Someone seated us at our table, and that was it for about fifteen minutes. No one came to our table. We were about to walk out - and I am now beating myself for not doing so - when someone finally came and asked what we wanted to drink. FFW to the food. Everything we ordered was God awful. The grilled Salmon was like cardboard, and then they drowned it in a sweet slimy sauce.I told the waiter that I wanted to send it back, and he went for the manager who told me that I got what I ordered and that I have to keep it. I was so upset with the service and more-so the food. I decided that the food and service didn't warrant a tip, so I payed my $130 and left. I could not believe that they chased us down in the parking lot with the receipt, DEMANDING a tip. Someone wrote a review about being treated badly because of race, well I can say that you are absolutely right because I felt the same way.For everyone who had a five star experience, I am happy for you but this is by far the worst restaurant I've gone to in Stamford. WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!!!

Best Thai food in Stamford. I have been going here for over 15+ years. The Sushi is always amazing. The Mango Dancing Roll with spicy mayo and eel sauce on the side is a must!! The Beef Pad Se Yew is delicious! Amazing place to sit in and grab a bite or to pick up / delivery !

Not the best Japanese food and more pricey than I usually pay for better. Service was good tho.

The thorough satisfaction of food,ambiance and service made Ocha Thai and Japanese Cuisine my new favorite dining spot. I had the Crispy Fried Vegetable Dumplings and Massaman curry dish,which Sue-the owner/manager,was nice enough to made special accommodations to my preference and great pleasure.Thank you Sue;your kindness and energy were stand out.This cozy restaurant is a gem.

Just ordered salmon avocado rolls and the salmon is gross. There is more fat than anything else. Honestly, I’ll never order here again. I’m totally disappointed in how they don’t care about the people’s health in order to get advantage and put a lot of fat in the rolls. It’s better raise the prices than do this.

Holy cow, the sashimi was so fresh and beautifully plated. The Tom yum soup had a bit of a cumin kick to it and was delicious. Got the copa cabana for dessert and it was good. Only downside was the service- only one server for the entire place on a Saturday night so it was slow to get food and water refills.
