The handrolls, mochi, dumplings, and all the other meal items this lovely couple inside Labonnes makes is by far the best I've had in Connecticut. The husband and wife behind the counter are always willing to make you whatever roll you'd like from the menu they have out. The fish is always fresh and the sushi rice is well made. They also sell packets for miso soup and Ramune along with cold bottled green tea. I suggest going here if you want sushi that you don't have to sit down for. Disclaimer: This sushi place is not a sit down restaurant, it is a sushi booth/station inside a family owned grocery store. Coming here is a very quick in and out process, and it's best to show up in the morning/mid-day if you want to be quick. Labonnes is a common place for people around their 60s to shop for groceries so treat the time you'd come here like the way you avoid the elderly at your local grocery store.

The best ever sushi, the sushi is always fresh, their sushi platters are exceptional and beautifully prepared. Mr & Mrs Lee always prepare the freshest sushi and some of the best I have eaten across the country! Labonnes is fortunate to have such amazing sushi chefs serving their customers!! But I would only except the best from Labonnes, as one of the premier food markets in my area and a food market that always surpasses everyone else in giving back to their community!!

I have been going to Happy Sushi for well over a year. The food is excellent, and fresh, and the integrity of Mr. & Mrs. Lee is second to none! I have compared their sushi to some of the offerings from many high scale restaurants, and have found it to be better. I highly recommend Happy Sushi for you daily dining, or special event. You will not be disappointed.

The Chef does an excellent job, uses proper proportions, honors customization requests, can preorder, very fresh. It is NOT like typical supermarket prepared sushi, but much much better.

In side the La bones. Now that i have gone carnivore I was thinking sushi was pretty much off the list. But I was exited to see Happy sushi had some no rice options in the ready to go area. I know I could ask for some without rice but love that they have some ready to go.. and it was some of the tastiest I have had in the waterbury area.
