“ In town for work and seen this was close to the hotel so decided to give it a try. Will definitely be back! Fast service and great prices, sushi rolls and drunken noodles were great! ”
“ Good food. Reasonable prices for the area and quick service. Worth stopping by if you haven't already. ”
“ We passed by this spot because we hit up total wine and more and an art store, so my daughters made me dine in, as they love Asian food. We were seated quick, there was only one other party there. It was in between lunch and dinner on a Sunday, so all I ordered to eat was some Szechuan pork dumplings. My daughters ordered rainbow sushi and beef soba. The food came quick. My kid liked how they used official chop sticks, and not the disposable kind. My dumplings had a nice quick to them, when it comes to that, I'm easily pleased. Unlike the last spot I went to, the table soy sauce here was good. My daughter loved her soba, she says Kashi is still her fav but this place came close. The price was decent. We didn't regret stopping by. ”
“ Wild Rice has been upgraded since pandemic and the food selection is of a great quality. Service is nice, and they often get busy at dinner time with those dining in and the takeout orders. Recommended!! ”
“ What a lovely lunch experience! I am still in awe that I had soup and 2 sushi rolls for $10. Deal of the century! All of their lunch choices were so affordable. The sushi tasted fresh and the hibachi lunch was very flavorful! The service was great- very attentive and quick. The restaurants was clean and well kept. Highly recommend for lunch! ”
“ This place is perfectly located off the Merritt Parkway in Norwalk and holds plenty of parking for those driving there. I've been a few times over the years and have never been disappointed. They used to offer unlimited sushi pre-covid, which is definitely a perk I miss. I recently had the chance to go for dinner and tried their Spicy Girl roll and Six Flags roll (description below) and it was delicious. The service was great and the waiter was very attentive and polite. Everything is reasonably priced and it's a quiet relaxing dining experience. If you love sushi, definitely check this place out. Spicy Girl Roll Crunch spicy tuna inside, topped w. spicy salmon, spicy mayo & wasabi Mayo and Six Flags Roll Deep fried spicy kani & avocado, topped with spicy tuna, spicy salmon, special sauce ”
“ Better food than expected, since it's mostly a Chinese food juxtaposed with tints of other Asian cuisines. The Japanese lanterns on the side of the restaurant makes one think it is a full fledged Japanese restaurant but once you are inside you become full aware that that is not the case. Nevertheless, it was a formidable dinner. Surprisingly tender chunks of chicken and similarly well done beef. There definitely could have been more rice but that's a minor minus. Your standard fare of chicken and broccoli and lo mein noodles with beef did the trick. Plus, there were much anticipated fortune cookies with wise tidbits that are sure to change your upcoming fate. ”
“ It was New Year's Eve, we were hungry, and most places that we checked on the way to our destination were closed. Luckily, Wild Rice was open. I did not have high expectations, since it was just a convenient option for us on the way. I had the crazy roll and the spicy salmon roll and my boyfriend had the Mandarin beef. (They had a 10% or 15% off deal going on if you ordered online.) I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of fish! The salmon, tuna, and yellowtail in both rolls tasted fresh and I enjoyed both rolls. My boyfriend said the Mandarin beef wasn't good because it was too dry. The fortune cookie that I opened after my meal had this message: "Any rough times are behind you." It was nice to read that on New Year's Eve! ”
