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. read more

I was stuck in traffic yesterday on my way to a meeting, but I had time to spare so I decided to have an early dinner - find something- sushi specifically & this place place came up as the closest location. At first, I thought they were closed but when I went inside, I realized it was maybe not yet a busy time. Customer service was good. I ordered hot tea and it was served just as it's pictured, and the tea was lukewarm. I actually heard her microwaving the tea, which is rare for a restaurant like this. I am accustomed to getting my tea a teapot - that was disappointing. I did not drink it. The soup was delicious as was the sushi was delicious. There's no ambience to speak of. It is a little bit dreary. It's worth noting that no one asked if I wanted dessert and so I didn't have any. I paid my bill and I left. It was all just ok. read more

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 read more

Wild Rice continues to impress. My first experience was in my early 20s where (for a Chinese food lover) I thought it was the best in Norwalk. Now in my mid-50s I actually think it is the best in Fairfield County. Their Kung Pao Chicken is the BEST and I eat it every Monday - it's my treat! read more

This place is solid. Extra looks pretty sketchy and gross but inside it's all A rated. I've only been there twice so far and each time I've gotten sushi and some sort of fried dish. The interior of the place is extremely friendly has a great sushi bar plus private seating. I believe it awesome might have a hibachi area. Prices are extremely reasonable. I certainly plan on going there again soon. read more

Found Wild Rice while browsing on Yelp and decided to check it out while staying nearby in Norwalk for the work week. Visited the restaurant on a Thursday evening and I was the only person dining in; although it appeared they had a decent amount of takeout orders. I was seated immediately and a gentleman came and quickly took my order. I got 8 piece assorted sushi and a California roll. I was served miso soup and a salad and soon thereafter, my food came out. The sushi was fresh and yummy; the California roll was subpar as they don't use the mayo based imitation crab meat. I finished my meal quickly and was on my way. The sushi was tasty and fresh but knocked 2 stars off because the environment and service was stale and mediocre. A part from the good sushi, there was no dining experience. read more

Wild Rice - Assorted sushi & California Roll - Asian Fusion Near Me - Norwalk, Connecticut

Good food. Reasonable prices for the area and quick service. Worth stopping by if you haven't already.

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! read more

Yet another awful experience at the Wild Rice!! I was here about an year ago and had a terrible experience with the service. The waiter was so rude when had problems with the food and was literally threatening us to accept the food and pay for it. It was stinking because they poured in too much sauce. We thought of giving them a second chance for takeout this time. We ordered about seven different rolls and a schezwan dumpling. The dumpling were stale as if cooked a couple of days ago and re-tossed in a sauce before they were served. The sushi rolls were not even fully rolled. Very disappointing. I'm definitely not taking a chance again on this place. read more

My go to sushi place here in Norwalk, good prices, great sushi, I also love their crispy rice on the sushi app list, the only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because sometimes it's inconsistent on the fry, and sometimes they take longer than the suggested time for pick up orders, but they are still the best in my book around here read more

The service was good. Very attentive friendly staff. Every so often checking up on my party. The sushi itself was great. Fresh. Decently portioned. Every roll had its on distinct flavor. At the entrance they have a little table with succulents and planters for $5, plants are kinda cute and I'm a sucker for plants. Bought one for the cute pot. Cons No kids menu. Scorpion bowl could have been slightly better. Bon Chon across the street had a better Scorpion. Overall. I would come back knowing what not to order again(Scorpion Bowl)and what I actually liked a lot. read more

Good Food, Prices are reasonable, but the place is too cold for me, I always find the place cold where I need to keep my coat on in the cold months, I would really be able to enjoy the place better of the heat was turned on higher, if your a sensative to the cold person, you wont like to eat in read more

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. read more

Heads up: Only open for delivery & takeout. My husband & I met here 5 years ago so we wanted to eat in. I checked their website, which said "dine in available" and called. I was told "you eat here." Drove the 35 minutes and nope. Takeout & delivery only. Rad. Otherwise, pre-pandemic, the sushi here was delicious. read more

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! read more

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!! read more

Went for dinner. Place was very quiet with very few clients. None of the cooks nor the waitresses spoke very good English. Despite this, the food was surprisingly good. I ordered the sambal delight. The brown rice tasted very healthy and the sambal delight was flavorful. The meal did not feel excessively greasy or heavy. Overall a good experience. read more

Stopped by on a random Wednesday night for dine in and was pleasantly surprised by how good the food was. We ordered the pan-fried wontons, chicken in garlic sauce, and beef drunken noodles. The wontons were phenomenal- perfectly crunchy and tasted fresh. The chicken in garlic sauce was great as well, as was the drunken noodles. The portions were large and we were really happy with it overall. The restaurant itself was nice enough, it looked really clean and the wait staff were attentive. We'd definitely go back soon. read more

I want to give Wild Rice a shout-out. I've ordered from pricier places in Norwalk and those spots couldn't hold a candle to Wild Rice. I have ordered a half dozen times and they have lovely people on the phone, prompt delivery and most of all, FRESH, DELICIOUS food. I am a New Yorker and take my sushi very seriously. Wild Rice has always come through. For the first time, my boyfriend and I ordered an udon dish and it was equally delicious. The restaurant is also reasonable. For delivery, however, make sure you ask for either a salad or miso soup with your meal. I love miso soup and since I forgot to specify, I got a salad. Minor detail, but kudos to Wild Rice. read more

Yummmy! Ordered the lunch special and was surprised how fat the rolls were! Good fish/rice ratio. Even came with a soup and ginger salad for $11. Totally worth it, and very competitive compared to the other sushi restaurants nearby. What a great spot ! read more

I ordered takeout. Called in for pickup. I got the lunch sashimi, a lunch chicken teriyaki B.B. and crab Rangoon's. Them Shumai that came with the chicken teriyaki Bento box was fried and tasted fishy it was OK but I prefer the steamed one, so you have to let them know. I have to say that their chicken teriyaki was phenomenal it was not dry and it was tasty however the assorted 10 pieces of shashimi I ordered we're definitely not worth 14$. the pieces were so small/thin and there were three pieces that I could not eat I put it in my mouth and almost vomited it literally smelled and tasted so disgusting, like, old. Other than being disappointed by the quality of the shashimi, The salad that came with the Bento box Was nasty iceberg lettuce that should have been thrown out, with a side of just dressing I will post a picture. read more

So I tried to give them another chance and so sad but it is only WORSE!!!! I got the Kani salad and it was inedible- full of mayonnaise and what seemed to be old smelly crab stick. Into the trash it went for fear of food poisoning. I can honestly say this was the last time we try here. So sad must be new owners.... even their regular Chinese dishes like Lo Mein no longer good. read more

Food is always consistent. New menu is good. Egg rolls and dumplings are the best in town. Delicious Beef Negimaki.

Got the lunch special Spicy tuna and spicy salmon roll with hot and sour soup Great deal and so delicious!! Will go again read more

Excellent fried rice and General Tso's. Much better than the ratings suggest. Definitely worth a try.

The food here is absolutely delectable! There isn't one dish not worth trying. The cooks here really know what they're doing. Best part isn't just the taste but the fact that you're also getting exquisite meat and food in general. This place uses the absolute best quality cuts of meat and they're very generous about their servings. I dare say that this place has some of the best Asian food I've ever tasted even better than some places in NYC. I can't emphasize enough how Delicious the food is here!!! The restaurant is beautiful and clean. The mood of the place is very chill, you can't help but want to kick back and cozy up in there even after you've completed your meal. All the staff here deserve a shout out because they're a wonderful bunch of hard working folks. They aim to please and go above and beyond the calls of their service to provide the best experience for its customers. I eat here all the time and never plan on going else where for my Asian food fixes anymore. read more

If I could give this place negative stars I would. I don't write reviews on Yelp but our experience with this restaurant was SO bad that I just had to. We ordered sushi and dumplings and they both tasted fine. Then we ordered chicken pad thai and that dish was soaked in so much fish sauce that I couldn't even bear the smell of it let alone eat it. We have eaten Pad Thai hundreds of times before so we know this is not what it was supposed to smell/look like. So, we politely called out waiter and told him that the smell is a bit too strong and if there was anything he could do about it. He then started YELLING at us that that is how it is supposed to be and if we don't like it then it was our problem. We asked him multiple times to keep his voice down but he just would not stop screaming at us, he even threatened to call the police because we said he could take the dish back and we didn't want to pay for it. We asked to speak to the manager and even when we were conversing with her, he was screaming at us from the other side of the restaurant. Over all, the food we ate was fine, we were disappointed with the Pad Thai. If the problem was just the Pad Thai, I would have left a better review and might even have gone back. But, the service was just unacceptable. Truly the worst service I have ever received. read more

Highly displeased. Definately NOT like the Fairfield location. Stodgy, run down, dark interior. Stuff thrown on plates like no care or attention to quality or detail was ever an option. I will not eat stuff that's been pre-plated & stashed in a walk in just waiting for its turn to be served- eeewwww. From the the Kani salad to the lettuce wraps I was displeased. Multiple TVs running. Service was impersonal & slow. read more

So I went to pick up my order and I decided to add a coke to my order which cost 1.40$ I asked to pay with my card for the coke as i didn't have cash the lady said cash or nothing because I get charged a 0.50$ from the credit card company she refused to sell me the coke. THIS IS HORRIBLE COSTUMER SERVICE. RUDE PEOPLE . I WILL NOT GO BACK AGAIN AND I DON'T RECOMMENDED ..... never again read more

Waitress had little of no understanding to what I ordered I ordered general Tso chicken with a side of broccoli. Instead I got a side of broccoli in a general Tso chicken sauce.

This place went down hall. Staff is clueless read more

Wild Rice - My side of broccoli - Asian Fusion Near Me - Norwalk, Connecticut

I'm a fan. We arrived to this adorable spot and sat down close to the window. It was very quiet and quaint. I looked over the menu and I saw my favorite dish: chicken lo mein. that's always my go to when I'm starving. I ended up enjoying this dish very much. The chicken was tasty and cooked to perfect. The added veggies were perfect and it was a delight to have such a delicious dish. I ended up having water to drink. Even know DEEP down I wanted to have the FREE glass of wine, but we had three bottles waiting at the hotel. :) My friend ended up getting three rolls. I use to LOVE eel and decided I should try it again. I really liked the roll. The spicy sauce that they added to the top was a delicious pair. The salmon avocado roll was GONE, so I believe he enjoyed that very much. He also got another room, but I fail to remember. It was tasty sushi and do recommend to order. the service was on point. My water was NEVER empty. I know it didn't have a lot of people for a Friday, but it was really cool that they still came around and assisted me. Key Points: They do Belly check ins (anyone who doesn't know its a point system). When you check it you get free, discounted, and emails from local cool spots to have you try different things. Its really cool. You should check it out. I also saw they do seamless.com, and I mean that to me is really cool. I also saw delivery.com which is perfect depending on which website/app you like to use. Overall great experience. NO complaint. SO you get 5 starts Wild Rice. Thanks for having us. -dn read more

I came in here with a friend for lunch on a Friday afternoon and found the inside very pretty. I was also excited to see it had Thai and Japanese food on the menu.

This restaurant hires a staff that is exceptionally RUDE. My significant other and I are both local food guides and have never written a bad review before until now. The hostess screamed on the phone at us after we asked where our food was in the process 2.0 hours after ordering it. after calling many times and not getting an answer on the phone, the one time answered, the hostess was shouting and screaming at us for our inquiry. We are very patient and understand people, however, we were completely disrespected and never received any compensation or a refund for a very expensive meal. read more

This place is pretty big and occupies quite a bit of land as you drive on Main Ave in Norwalk, and can't be missed. In the internal decor is cool, mostly wooden with ample seating. I did not enjoy their Misu Soup for some reason, felt it was too bland. Sushi was ok, but have had better sushi. I remember the customer service being good, but overall an average place. Given the area they have, they definitely can do better read more
