We got the Spicy salmon roll, spicy tuna roll, yellowtail roll, soft shell crab roll, and some assorted nigiri. The rolls were fresh, the sauces delightful and the presentation was pretty! read more

Had some takeout from Mannen with a group of people. The fish was fresh and the rolls were well made! All in all, great takeout sushi if you're in the area. read more

Another nice meal at Mannen, we had the hibachi fillet & shrimp combo and enjoyed it thoroughly. Chef was excellent, very friendly, and did a great job preparing a fine meal. We had no issue getting seated without a reservation but you may want to call ahead to be sure. It was quiet when we arrived at about 7:00pm, think their location being off the road 100' or so might hinder folks finding this gem read more

Solid sushi and other food. The hibachi can be a little hectic especially on the weekends

I've been consistently coming here for 20+ years and not once in those 20+ years have they messed up my order, served raw food that made me sick, or in any other way disappointed. Will this sushi change your life? No. Is this sushi delicious, decently priced, well-made, FAST (the other day they made my takeout order in 6 minutes...WHAT?!), and tasty...yes. I don't think anyone can really ask for more. Likewise I've ordered fried rice, lo mein, etc. etc.; and it's all consistently good. Few places in the area offer an agedashi tofu appetizer, but they do and it's always good. If Mannen ever closes they will ruin me emotionally; few relationships last this long. read more

Great hibachi, fun for everyone! The chicken and fried rice was delicious. Our chef was very entertaining. We joined a larger group celebrating a birthday. We didn't feel like we were encroaching on their celebration, nor did we feel ignored. read more

I regret that I took so long to update my review! Mannen has been back to a full 5 star spot for me for awhile now. I order from them frequently and love their sushi as well as many of the hot dishes I've tried. I have to say that their steamed veggie dumplings are my favorite with whole edamame beans inside and a thin green dumpling wrapper. Yum! read more

'Filet mignon hibaci' should have been more accurately named 'beef and mixed veg'. Will not make the mistake of ordering this meal as a takeout item again. Big drop in quality compared to when you order it at the restaurant. read more

Sushi is excellent. Delivery is always fast. Been eating there for over a decade. Consistently excellent.

The first time I tried this restaurant, I was very unimpressed with the size of the quantity given and the high prices. We had a $200 meal that left us still hungry. SO, I figured I would try again but instead for take out. Honestly, extremely disappointed. The Uni sushi & eel sushi was Polly pocket bite-size. Im a small person & I was able to take one tiny bite of the entire thing and it was finished. NOT worth it. The volcano roll is supposed to be a completely raw roll on the inside with tobiko and spicy mayo sprinkled on top. Instead, I got a warm roll with mushy fish and what I'm assuming is mushy tempura & spicy mayo with Sriracha squirted on top of. Topping on the cake, the softshell crab roll very smelly, full of cucumber and missing the avocado & eel sauce. I had to throw my $57 meal away. I try to order local to support but this restaurant is 100% taking advantage of the fact that it's 1 of 2 local sushi restaurants in the area. Shame on this restaurant- DO BETTER! read more

I speak different languages but I still have a hard time finding the words to describe HOW BAD the food is here. The shrimp tempura roll was hard as a rock!! We had to throw the food away! read more

The sushi was good but very small portions and sloppy. I wouldn't go back. Westport is the place to get sushi. And the restaurant is a bit of a dump. read more

We have been to this hibachi many times and have always had great service. However this time was the exception. We arrived on time at 7 pm Friday. There were 5 adults in our party. Our chef just went through the motions I could have eaten anywhere and had more attention for a birthday None of the usual fanfare no saki no hype nothing. But what was worse 4 of us ordered filet mignon med rare one ordered medium it all came out well the rice, noodles veggies and meat were flavorless Immediately the chef left and was not seen again. The next time we will consider trying another place read more

It's good. Good enough. Nothing exciting or creative -- this is Ridgefield, Connecticut after all, and choice of sushi restaurants is very limited. There are two sushi places in town: one with pretty good food at a great price but you'd never want to eat inside, the other (Mannen) with nice ambiance, but the sushi is on the skimpy side, and portions are small. So, it is what it is. If you're hankering for sushi and you happen to be in Ridgefield, this is one of your choices. Nothing spectacular, nothing to write home about, but enough to satisfy. Staff is nice. Nice enough. read more

Hibachi is a bit nostalgic as my parents took me as a kid and I now enjoy bringing my daughter. Like me, she enjoys the "show" and many facets of the meal. I will say that I've tried a handful of different hibachi options in Fairfield county and this one is slightly one-flavored... meaning that even though I got a couple of proteins and the fried rice, everything kind of tasted the same. Overall, good though, and reasonable pricing. read more

- it's fine - little choice in Ridgefield- when I need to fuel my sushi fix Mannen's serves the purpose

Consistently decent sushi Nothing super fancy, but fresh fish and good quality every time. read more

Highlights including kid friendly hibachi service, calamari very tender app, sesame chicken and hibachi rice. Get the Japanese soda.

Great experience! We were hesitant to make reservations because the reviews were so varying but I am happy to say that everyone in the party enjoyed the food and the hibachi experience. The filet mignon was our favorite but the scallops, shrimp and chicken were all great! All of the hibachi meals come with vegetables, noodles and two pieces of shrimp. The fried rice is great for the show but be warned that if everyone orders the fried rice there will be leftovers! read more

Food excellent! Delivery great! Never disappointed, whether we order out or go to restaurant the food is always consistent and good! Recommend this place! read more

Had take out sushi lunch from here for a work event. Nothing spectacular sushi was fresh and the hot food we ordered (general tso chicken, bang bang shrimp, and hibachi chicken) was nothing to write home about. Food was ready and hot when we picked it up. Not sure if it was because of take out or not but the food was sweating in its containers which made it less appealing. The wonton soup and miso That comes with the meals was tasteless. They do take credit card and are Open during COVID read more

We've enjoyed Mannen several times over the years, but this past Friday 3/29 was a flat-out mess - specifically the wait staff's attitudes. (The hibachi chef was great, however.) 1- Called at 5:00 to make a 7:15 hibachi reservation, 3 people. Was told they only had 7:45 available. "It's only 30 minutes later, can't you wait?" The attitude was impatient and off-putting. 2- Arrived at 7:40 and was told we wouldn't be seated until 8:00. I reminded the server of our phone call, which she claimed I misunderstood. Only after we turned to leave did she agree to seat us. 3- After placing our order, we were served miso soup that was room temperature at best. Next course was salad. Server pushed a tray full of salad bowls at us and told us, "Here, take one." Okay...? We were seated at a corner so she had easy access to set the bowls down herself, but her main goal seemed to be speed, not service. 4- The hibachi chef was great, but as I watched him cook, I realized that the floor behind him was dirty - food on the ground but even worse, a pile of used linens (towels?) stacked up in the corner. 5- When the check came, we realized we'd been charged $453.30 - the entire table of nine! Hard to figure out how they determined that we knew the other six people, since we hadn't spoken to them (except to applaud their zucchini-catching skills). To be charitable, I'd say maybe it was just an off night. But we won't be going back. read more

Decided to come here since we haven't been in a while. No particular reason. We had the gyoza, chicken wings and hot and sour soup for appetizers. Gyoza was very good and my husband really liked the hot & sour soup... honestly the wings were pretty boring. Plain fried wings with duck sauce for dipping. (Pretty blah) He had the Ma-la for an entree and enjoyed it. I had the sesame chicken. My chicken was okay. Tasted more like sweet & sour chicken with sesame seeds on it. It wasn't bad, just didn't taste like sesame chicken. Staff was friendly. Prices are good. We may be back read more

I've been here many times - a couple for hibachi, and a bunch for dine in and takeout sushi. Every experience has been fantastic! The service is great, and everyone is as nice and helpful as they can be. The food is also exactly what you'd expect it to be - solid hibachi, solid mid-priced sushi. Also, they've been a saving grace for takeout! Everything is so well packaged, and pickup is always super smooth. My favorite has been the dragon loveboat for two because it's so much sushi for such a great price! When you dine in, it's served in such a cute boat too! read more

I like the people working here. Solid food, sushi Chinese or hibachi. Good lunch specials

I've been coming to this place since I was 9. I absolutely love this place for their sushi and miso soup. The miso soup is the best I've ever had. There japanese food is definitely better than the Chinese so if your looking for a Chinese restaurant this is a good option but it's not the best. I got the Asian pork belly buns today and they were amazing I also got the general tso's chicken which was really good. They have great service but the waiting time for your food is a little long because their making it fresh. The atmosphere of the restaurant is great it's usually very quiet and empty but when there is a lot of people it tends to get loud. read more

This was very middle of the road fare. We recently moved up here and I was hoping this place would be better but it just wasn't. I will try it again but darn. Not even close to exciting. read more

Often the sign of a wonderful, creative, Japanese sushi bar, is what you get when you order "omakase" chef's choice. One expects the very best sushi creations when ordering, and paying, for what is usually a delight. Last night, at Mannen's, the main variable between ordering a regular sushi and/or shamine plate, was that the chef increased the quantity of pieces, rather then the quality and imagination one expects from ordering omakase A true disappointment. Just doubling the number of pieces is certainly not the normal definition of omakase. Don't waste your money and/or time. Joseph H. read more

Well what can I say I knew going into this it would be poor quality (it is Ridgefield after all) - but I did not know that the food wasn't even fit to feed barn animals. Add another one too the list, no one cares about quality. Make sure when you order "general tso chicken", that you specify you want white meat and not quote "the byproducts of what is left in the pan and then ground" - waitress "You must specify you want white meat" maybe it would be a good idea to write that somewhere on the menu?? I didn't know people enjoyed eating chicken feet and gizzard ground up. How can you legally serve that. I wouldn't feed that to a squirrel. Name one Ridgefield restaurant with some honest cooking, I'll wait. you clones wouldn't know a good meal if it fell in your fat face. read more

I am sitting here now. It's been 45 min and we still don't have our sushi. I normally wouldn't be writing this but 6 other table ahead of us have got their entire meals. It's too bad that Yuan closed because their service was behind perfection! Hope a new place comes to town in their old location! Edit: so we got our sushi. The rolls where lose and barely any meat inside. That's a bummer. read more

Everything is always fresh and very good and their service is good. The staff is very friendly and it seems like a clean environment

Consistent, super fast delicious food every time. They've adapted to COVID really well and are my go-to meal pickup whenever I'm pressed for time. The restaurant is always clean and welcoming. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. Went out for Mother's Day dinner and the food was awful! Tasteless rice, over cooked chicken and shrimp. No flavor at all! The cook actually walked away while the chicken and shrimp was cooking. The food was flavorless! Waitress forgot to bring us lemon for our water. The staff just all looked like they didn't want to be there. I used to love this place but the food was not good. The guy cooking our food was sloppy dumping food all over the table . Total mess! Save your money ! This place is not what it used to be. read more

This place is always as good as you expect from a Japanese/Chinese restaurant. I come here often and the food is unfailingly fresh and delicious every time. Tonight I had to finally write about it. My regular is stir fry udon w/ broccoli n chicken with a shrimp tempura roll (side of spicy mayo.) I think bigger and order the 'Mets Roll' 'cause shrimp tempura w/salmon n 'cause METS! The salmon was melt in ur mouth fresh. I like to think I've had a decent amount of fresh salmon but tonight the bar was reset at where I should expect it every time. TLDR; finally wrote a review cause fresh salmon made me. read more

This place is always so inconsistent for takeout. I don't know if they just rush through cooking the food or what, but it's horrible. I got sesame chicken and it was basically soggy chicken tenders that were flourescent for some reason. It actually made me ill. Also we got sushi and as soon as we opened the container it wreaked of fish. That too made me ill. I don't think we'll be returning. read more

Mannen Japanese Restaurant - This is supposed to be sesame chicken?? - Japanese Near Me - Ridgefield, Connecticut

I took my son here twice, I also took him for his birthday, and he really enjoyed the hibachi and sushi. We loved it.

The quality of food used to be a lot better. It's currently very hit and miss and unfortunately it misses the mark more often than not. The Chinese food is extremely disappointing to say the least. They forgotten how to cook with love. Extremely mediocre. Unfortunate but true. read more

Mannen has hosted many of our birthday parties for our kids over the years. It was always our "go to" for a fun party. The last few times, the service has been horrible. There aren't enough waiters/waitresses. They are slow. They are unorganized. They seem lost in the hibachi room, running frantically from table to table. It's a complete joke. The hibachi chefs are great and always make us laugh. The kids love it. But the complete and utter chaos before the cooking "show" is unacceptable. It really ruins the experience they are trying to deliver. read more
