Feng Chophouse 93 Asylum Street, Hartford, CT 06103

"Amazing menu's and Amazing staff Had dinner here 2 nights in a row which we have never done, but first night we did the sushi which was amazing and next night we did the chop house steak menu and even more amazing. The Australian waygu was off the charts!"

"Been here a few times. Food and service is excellent. Serves have had a solid knowledge of the menu. Can’t wait to go back."

"Very unassuming place from the outside. Across the street from a open surface parking lot. Inside, the decor was very nice, some cross between asian and modern contemporary. I was immediately seated after giving my reservation info and promptly served a glass of water, which never passed half empty. I originally was going to order the Sashimi Omakase, but the server informed be of a more authentic Omakase course that wasn't on the menu for around $120 p/p. I was interested to see what they could do so I went with their suggestion as well as a cocktail and a appetizer. I could probably write another paragraph describing each course but I'll summarize instead. Overall, the freshness is perfect. Taste was pure and let the fish/shellfish take center stage while the few that had a sauce accompanied perfectly. Portion size was just right for me, where this was going to be my only meal of the day. The only issue I had was the order in which the dishes came out, unless it was on purpose. I felt that mixing the Unagi Tacos and the A5 Wagyu in the middle took a bit away from the more delicate flavors of the dish that followed. Also the photos are in the order the dishes came out. I personally would have ended the course with the first dish that came out, but that might because it was my favorite dish and nothing after that could top it. All in all, fantastic place, great service, and even better food. Will come back if I ever get the chance and try some of their other menu items like their steaks."

"What a GREAT Spot! It’s been a (whole lot more than) a minute since I checked out restaurants in the Springfield, MA/Hartford, CT “corridor.” I worked in downtown Hartford over 20 yrs ago. When the city (like every city in CT) was well overdue for any kind of investment. Feng Chophouse is a beautiful spot. Really just a gorgeous, welcoming interior. Lovely finishes from the light fixtures to the tables and chairs to the bar. I sat at the bar, two nights in a row. Truthfully I showed up right at opening, 4pm and then camped at that bar. The bar has two big TVs showing news or sports. I LOVE a nice bar with a great vibe, TVs and good food. Feng Chophouse knocks it directly out of the park on all counts. I MUST mention the service. I think this was, honestly, The Best Service I’ve ever experienced dining out and we all know that I dine OUT! The waitstaff is fantastic. They know what they’re doing, they are professionals, they’ve been there, done that and somehow were keeping all 3 of my beverages filled and with fresh ice in my water. For. Hours. Amazing!! (I actually order water and then I DRINK water, lots of it. That can be a real challenge for a lot of places…) The “fusion” of sushi/Asian food and Steakhouse seems genius to me. I don’t eat beef, but the menu is impressive. I DID attempt to eat my way through the sushi/nonmeat offerings! There is not a bad Sake list and I had a bottle both nights. There is a Happy Hour menu 4pm to 5:30pm (might be only weeknights??) And the quality of the food offered for the prices is CRAZY!! I had 4 excellent, large, inside out sushi rolls from the Happy Hour menu. They were $5 each. Craziness. Such an amazing value. I made a plan before showing up on Day 1. There are actually two appetizer menus, plus are Sushi rolls and Nigiri and salads and side orders. I could graze my way through many items, which is always my goal. I don’t want to commit to one, giant entree. Day 1: I ordered 3 appetizers off the “Feng Signature” menu; Hirame Maki, Otoro Caviar and Crispy Rice Sushi. VERY GOOD. All of them. Honestly, the type of menu items I’ve only had in NYC. Really, really good. High quality ingredients, well made, well presented. Each piece was the proper size for a sushi piece. Each piece of sushi maki or nigiri should be one bite. And not the kind of bite that almost cuts off your air supply. The sushi chef needs to know what they are doing to execute proper sushi. The chefs here at Feng know what they’re doing. Their sushi technique is very good. And they are creating pieces and rolls to appeal to a pretty wide audience (i.e., steakhouse eaters, Happy Hour folks, the neighborhood locals, business peeps etc etc.). Which is pretty impressive. Caesar Salad. Very good. Especially the croutons and croutons are, honestly, usually terrible. I actually picked these out to eat! LOL Kimchi Fried Rice: DO NOT skip this side. DELICIOUS, also huge. They are not holding back with the portions here. Altho maybe skip the poached egg. Something went wrong with that (maybe a microwave??); the white was runny and the yolk was solid. The reverse of what you’re looking for… For dessert I had two pieces of Faroe Islands Salmon Nigiri. Perfect. Day 2: started with 4 Happy Hour Rolls. Once again; I can’t believe the quality for the price! SO GOOD. The Chophouse Salad (minus bacon). WOW!! GREAT SALAD. Best Salad I’ve had in a long time. GET THIS SALAD! Then I had 2 rounds of Nigiri: Otoro, Hamachi, Kinmedi, Hirame; Foie Gras (!), Kanpachi, Madai, Shima Aji. You do NOT need soy sauce with this Nigiri. Each piece is what I would expect at one of my great Omakase spots in NYC: complex, fresh flavors with each piece of fish. Lovely. Delightful. Fresh pieces beautifully presented. Then! Shishito Peppers app. Uhhhhh…this was A LOT of super delicious peppers. Really, really good. Dessert: Truffle Fries. I couldn’t finish. These bad boys are actually Steak Fries and the portion, again, is enormous. Also! Hot food comes out PIPING hot. You need to pace yourself."

"This was our first time here. As a family of four we were seated the bar under a loud speaker… we asked to move and were seated in the back where we should have been, but on the aisle to the restroom, better than before and the chairs are not comfy… that said the food was wonderful! And the service was excellent, really liked our waiter. The lamb was very rich and savory."
