Oriental Cafe

Good sushi and food.  They have created a lounge-type atmosphere that is fun at night.  Often have great deals.  Great service last time - manger checked on us, waiter attentive.  Good for a sit-down meal.

Oriental Cafe is an excellent hidden gem in the downtown area of Willimantic. The building it is in used to be a D'angelos, but as soon as you step inside you would never know it. The ambiance is relaxing and peaceful, the service professional and timely, and the food is absolutely phenomenal. I am always skeptical of sushi bars, but this one exceeded my expectations in freshness, which may be stemmed from the fact that its right next to a fish market, but i don't know for sure.

the half price sushi happy hour is a great deal, everything is half price, and the full menu is good too! I got the shrimp pad thai which was delightfully spicy with a huge side of crumbly peanut butter, though they did leave the tails on the shrimp which was a little messy.
they also have several good vegetarian dishes and rolls.

Wow, these guys are really bringing out their A-game. Their food quality has definitely improved, along with their service. I tried the deluxe sashimi this time around and was seriously impressed. I won't waste words trying to describe the presentation. I'm going to say it more than meets the legal definition of deluxe and leave it at that. The service was also top notch and left us wanting for nothing. If you like Asian food, and want to have a nice dinner out, this is the place to go.
