The front of Wild Rice
Ana B.

My friend and I stopped at Wild Rice in Fairfield for some sushi last week. Upon studying the menu we decided to get Pad Thai instead. We also got a roll of spicy tuna sushi and a seaweed salad. This was all to share of course. Wild Rice is in downtown Fairfield. You can sit inside or outside. They normally have specials for lunch, but not on Sundays or holidays. We got Chicken Pad Thai, which was a very large portion. It came with crushed peanuts, and very tender and finely cut chicken. Being unaware of how large the Pad Thai would be, we also got seaweed salad, which had a bit of a kick to it, it was delicious, and the perfect serving for sharing. Lastly we got a roll of spicy tuna. It was very weak. I've for sure had much better sushi in the past. It may not have been fresh this time, something was off about it. The Pad Thai was so delicious, it was fresh, flavorful and very filling. The peanuts and lemon juice were an excellent combo in this dish. The service was very quick and pleasant. I'd come here again, for the Pad Thai and the seaweed salad.

Sushi and Edamame beans

I am not typically an aficionada of Asian food, although I often like it. This place is check, check, and check! Foods = delicious! Portion size = enormous (like 2 or 3 meals in 1 serving!) Prices = bargain Location = top in Downton Fairfield Service = courteous Atmosphere = nice and big, but can be overcrowded at peak hours. Can get uncomfortably overcrowded. You may need to wait a little on days like Friday or Saturday night where so many people go out for dinner in Fairfield downtown at the same time. The place can get packed during then, but otherwise should be fine during regular days. What stands out as so stellar for me from this place remains the food, from simple appetizers to classics like Pad Thai, to exquisite desserts. I didn't expect it initially, Bravo.

Hamachi handrolls & black pepper tuna roll

During quarantine I decided to try Wild Rice out after years of dining in and everything was fantastic! The presentation was even beautiful. We got "sushi 4 me" which is 8 pieces of nigiri & spicy tuna roll -- the freshest fish I have had in a while especially during quarantine and for to-go! My boyfriend loved the lobster Rangoon so much he wouldn't stop talking about it for days (haha) they were so creamy and even delicious re-heated after we got home! I personally loved the kani salad... perfect amount of dressing to crab/cucumber and the flavor was spot on! It honestly felt not like to-go and as if we were dining in the restaurant that's how fresh everything really was! Props for that during a pandemic -- highly highly recommend for dining in or to-go in the Fairfield area!!!

The Pho comes with complimentary black hair! Disgusting and disappointing.

I am SO disappointed. I was just delving into pho tonight from Wild Rice and when I was about to take my first bite of noodles I was met with a black hair. My meal has been unfortunately ruined. I hope Wild Rice enjoys the $30.00 of charity that my family has given to Wild Rice tonight because the meal and evening have been ruined. Wild Rice, you have lost a customer. What a shame. I am truly saddened and disappointed by the lack of sanitary precautions. I was so looking forward to this meal, but now I will never be walking into the doors of Wild Rice again.

Heaven!

I went here again yesterday and had another amazing experience . Ordered the shrimp shumai which should get some kind of award because it's the best ever. Also ordered lots of different kind of sashimi and it was out of this world delicious- and the pieces are very generous, which doesn't seem to happen very often at other places. My friend had the pork fried rice and that was excellent too. Great portion sizes - but you actually get what you pay for and then some! The drinks were another big hit nice and strong and TASTY. Service was very attentive . If your looking for excellent sushi / Asian food look no more - this is the spot. This place is my new #1 spot for sushi. Don't think twice just try it out you won't regret it!

My boyfriend and I come here at least once a month. It's one of our favorite spots. I don't know what they do to their Yaki Udon but it's the best I've ever had and I have a hard time ordering anything else. The few times I have strayed from my favorite, I've never been disappointed. The wasabi shumai is a must! I've never seen anything but normal shumai anywhere else. The wasabi gives it a great kick! My one complaint...service has gone down recently. They tend to be less friendly and at times a bit slower to approach the table. And please bring back the pickled vegetables that we used to get at the beginning of the meal! My boyfriend and I love those and we never get them anymore! :(

Lunch sushi special

Amazing sushi place!! I ordered the lunch sushi special (pictured below) and it was delicious! It came with amazing miso soup! For an appetizer, we got sesame noodles! They were so delicious and the sauce was authentic and mouth watering. We also ordered the chicken fried rice and it was delicious. The veggies were crispy! The waiters are super kind and helpful! Overall, great place for lunch and dinner! Definitely recommend!

Mandarin chicken is pretty.

Better sushi in the area, and a little overpriced for the quality.

the sushi never disappoints and neither do their other meals. They have the BEST brown(purple) rice that you cannot get anywhere else!

Great sushi, great miso soup, great everything! Get the brown, wild rice, it's more like purple, but it is amazingly flavorful!

This small yet cozy place has one of the best spots for great sushi and plenty of portions for…read morefood. I order some sushi rolls and a fried panned pork dumplings. We were greeted at the door and the waitress was there to help out with the menu. The food came quickly and it was plentiful. The rolls were packed with meat and the pan pork dumplings were easily consumed.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND!!…read more My friend and I came here for happy hour and were really disappointed by the service. From the start, our first round of drinks was delivered to the table next to us, and those guests actually drank from them before the waitress realized the mistake. Despite being told the drinks had already been sipped, she still tried to give them to us, and we had to firmly refuse before new drinks were made. Things didn't improve after that. My second drink, a glass of Sauvignon Blanc, arrived in a wine glass that clearly had someone else's lipstick on it, so I had to send that back as well. We also ordered edamame for the table, which was completely forgotten--we had to re-order it 45 minutes later before it finally arrived. My tofu and sushi were also underwhelming to say the least. What made the experience worse was the lack of apology or urgency from the staff, especially since the restaurant wasn't even busy. Overall, the poor customer service and repeated hygiene and attentiveness issues made this a very frustrating happy hour experience.
