The incident began when I ordered the Chicken Fried Rice lunch special. When the plate arrived, it was filled entirely with rice and contained only one small piece of chicken. I politely asked the waitress if I could get a little more chicken. The price ($15) is not the issue; the issue is the deceptive practice of selling a dish called “Chicken Fried Rice” that is essentially just rice.
Abusive and Unethical Conduct
The owner immediately approached my table, looked at me dismissively, and stated rudely, “This is how our fried rice comes.” While the portion may be historically small, the way she addressed a paying customer was instantly confrontational.
What followed was completely unacceptable for a restaurant owner. She aggressively accused me of having asked for changes or more chicken in the past, saying I had done it “twice.” I made it clear that I have never made such requests, and she continued to falsely accuse me in front of my children. This was not feedback; it was harassment and an attempt to intimidate me into silence.
Behavior in Front of My Children
This level of hostility and false accusation is unethical in any business setting, but performing it in front of my young children is unconscionable. My 9-year-old daughter was so disturbed by the lies that she quietly told me, “Mommy, she is lying.” I felt utterly harassed.
I believe she thought that, perhaps because of my accent, I would stay quiet. But I have the right to ask about a dish when it does not match its description. A “Chicken Fried Rice” special must contain a reasonable portion of meat. I was not asking for a free meal or an unreasonable change; I even offered to pay for the addition.
When I left, I witnessed the owner and the bartender laughing at me near the door. I returned briefly and stated, “Your behavior is unethical and disgusting.”
The owner needs immediate training in communication and customer service. Treating customers with such contempt and malice, and lying to their face, is behavior that should not be tolerated. I support small businesses, but I refuse to support abuse. I truly hope that if this happens again, people will rightfully hold them accountable. Owning a business does not grant anyone the right to act superior, nor does it excuse treating customers or employees unethically. This owner needs to reflect on her conduct, as it is fundamentally wrong regardless of who she is or who the customer is.

10/08/24 – Special occasion. Two roll lunches with spicy tuna, spicy yellowtail and shrimp tempura.
#
5/24 – Still remarkable service and food.

8/31/23: We love lunch here. Two of us ordered the 2 roll option with spicy tuna, spicy yellowtail and eel/avocado and one the salmon box. All came with a choice of soup & salad.
#
1/23: Tasty rock shrimp, gyoza, sushi, sashimi, hand roll and cooked shellfish main.
#
8/22: Always scrumptious.
#
Liki lunches are always delicious & nutritious. Hot green tea, sake, wonton soup with salad and ginger dressing, a teriyaki salmon box and 3 sushi rolls. I like the slivers of ginger. Their wasabi has a good burn.
#
For kicks, we tried the Scorpion drink for two. Nice presentation. Moderate alcohol despite the list. The Rock Shrimp App was so good order it for dinner.
#
Fine meal Feb ’22. Arigatou! Sake and wonton soup nice & hot; fried pork gyoza, scallion pancakes & yellowtail sashimi all perfect; Seafood combo main, Avon Roll, Liki King Roll and Unagi were fine.

Sat at the bar this visit. Ordered 3 apps & 2 special cocktails from their blackboard. Drinks were great. Shrimp tempura was very good. Steamed gyoza. Curious if Japanese cuisine made a different version of calamari than Italian, we tried it. Very crunchy with a deep fried panko crust. It’s good, but we prefer the traditional version.

Late Nov. lunch brought two teriyaki lunch boxes with salmon and shrimp. Salads and wonton soup still very good. The tea was hot this time, but the sake can use more heat. White rice was dry, cool and flavorless, so my partner mixed it into his brown rice upgrade which was warm and moist. Service is polite & efficient.

Exceptional lunch late Oct. I mean to have sit down lunches more often in Asian restaurants, instead of only dinner or picking up take-out. Liki gave us a noteworthy meal that included our choice of soup & a crisp salad with dressing that reminded me of Benihana’s. The Wonton soup has delicate wrappings on the pork and a warm broth.
I had 3 signature rolls: shrimp tempura, spicy tuna & eel avocado. All delicious. My partner chose a Lunch Box Special that comes with 3 shumai, a California roll, salad & rice. The Salmon Teriyaki Box had a lovely portion of fish with some cooked broccoli & carrots, shumai and a CA roll. The only flaw: the hot tea needs to be served hot.

As someone who used to eat sushi for many years in CA, and since Murasaki/Sakimura closed in Simsbury, I’m happy to find another good sushi restaurant in the area. Our table of three had two diners who ate raw fish and one who did not, but since Liki like most sushi places offers both cooked and raw fish, and other cuisine, we ordered a variety of items.
Our meal included one yellowtail sushi, two spicy tuna hand rolls, a spider roll, shrimp tempura roll, pan fried pork dumplings, Thai veg mini rolls, one miso and wonton soup, a salad and two entrées. Two of us shared the triple sashimi 15 pc platter of the Chef’s daily selection with salmon, yellowtail & tuna. One had the seafood combo of lobster, scallop, crab, shrimp & vegetables with brown rice.
We ordered 2 pcs of Unagi for a traditional finish, but our waitress brought only one saying the Chef only makes one at a time. We split the one served. Everything was well prepared, fresh and a pleasure to eat. Miso soup is different on the west coast, so I’m getting used to the gold broth here.
Liki has a well stocked bar. We tried the “Cucumber Smash,” and “Liki Lemonade” with strawberries, lemonade & simple syrup but substituted Brockmans gin for vodka. Both were pretty and flavorful but my partner couldn’t taste any gin. Ordering a 2nd, they were out of strawberries. I said see if it’s the strawberries masking the gin or a light pour. It was the latter. I’ll stick with sake. A small hot carafe completed the meal.
Food has always been ready on time for to-go orders. Very good lunch specials. Dine-in experience was very good. Nice bar area too.
