Shout out to JC, for his generosity and care. We are still blown away by your incredible gesture last night!!! He understands his customer and shout out to the kitchen staff for making our meal safe (food allergy). The food here is off the charts delicious. Our favorites, Szechuan green beans, egg rolls, chicken lettuce cups, dumpling, sesame chicken and Mongolian beef. Great atmosphere, caring staff, truly get there if you've never been. read more

This place is fantastic! We have now been 2x in the past month and is a great new addition to Norwalk/lower CT! It is "elevated Chinese"...with a delicious selection of food, including some new "takes" that you don't find in other Chinese restaurant; excellent service with friendly waiters, and a cool modern design and vibe. It was bustling there last night. Try some of their signature drinks. My wife had 2 of their hot ciders with bourbon and raved about it! read more

Spectacular. Staff was super friendly and attentive. 5 Spice Sparkling Lemonade is a great mocktail and tastes like a regular cocktail, but without the alcohol. Highly recommend the crispy beef and ginger scallion fish, those exceeded my expectations. Very nice place in Norwalk, super busy in the evening. read more

The food and ambiance was great. The service at the bar was spotty. I felt like there were more important customers. Still, I'd go back.

Probably deserves 4 stars since this is as good as it gets for Chinese food I've tried in CT. But nothing wowed me. The best dish by far: the dan dan noodles. Not too oily as others are. The soup dumplings were okay-- broth was flavorful enough but the wrappers were undercooked. The sesame chicken was average -- sauce tasted mostly of sugar and no sesame flavor, chicken was cooked well- crunch on the outside, tender inside but the chicken itself had no flavor. Cucumber salad was a bunch of cucs chopped up with a spicy sauce for 10 bucks- could have made this at home myself for a dollar. Fortune cookie ice cream- tasted more like Italian cookie --- it is the same flavor of Anisettes. It was more like ice milk. Got to our table mostly melted. Prices very overpriced but hey, it's SoNo rent. read more

Pros:the Interior Design of the space brought a nice modern look to South Norwalk and clean. Cons: Food did not come out hot and not well flavored just salty. Would never go back based on the food. Very disappointed. read more

Absolutely amazing food. The service was spectacular. Carlos was lovely. I sat outside, and had the best lunch. 10/10 recommend. I will be coming back frequently! read more

I tried the chicken Kung Pao, and I'm so glad I did. It was absolutely delicious. I also really appreciate that they offer mocktails. As someone who doesn't drink, it's nice to have tasty non-alcoholic options on the menu. read more

Group of four,waiter was terrible. He took our order and disappeared until we needed to pay check. Never checked on us and we had to wave him over for check. Food was excellent, tried the ice cream , delicious. read more

Terrific dan-dan noodles and kung pao chicken. Very high quality food; hands down best Chinese restaurant in Fairfield County, CT.

Another interesting delightful family meal! I find the waiters over extended and sound decibels can be high regardless of seating location. Perhaps it's the enthusiasm over the upcoming dining experience. read more

Surprised at how delicious everything was. The dishes are generous sized portions with very fair pricing

Exactly what I was looking for on a Saturday night - great vibes, beautiful design, delicious food (have to come back to eat the things I didn't try!), excellent cocktails. This place really levels up Main Street and I love it! Pro tip - save room for the fortune cookie soft serve. read more

I've been here at least four times since it opened and I have never been let down! The food and the drinks are both excellent. The bartenders take their craft seriously and concoct some really delicious drinks. The food always comes out hot and is freshly prepared. I always get the soup dumplings and the scallion pancakes (which you can get sans beef if you like) -- so definitely check those out. Another memorable dish was the ginger fish which is beautifully poached in a light broth. You really can't go wrong whatever you get! Service has also been on point for all of my visits. This place is very popular and for good reason -- so be sure to book in advance or you're looking at probably a 30-45 minute wait for a bar seat (which are first come first served). read more

Lazy Sister is such a great addition to Washington Street, and I really hope it stands the test of time. The food is excellent, the drinks are thoughtfully done, and the space itself is warm, fun, and inviting. Every detail feels intentional--honestly, even the bathrooms are cute. Never a single issue with service either! read more

Fantastic food! Happily accommodated our gluten, garlic and egg allergies. Loved the beef and broccoli and kung pow chicken. Service and ambiance were excellent as well! read more

One of the best Asian restaurant I've visited. I've been there twice before and it's always busy. Reservations are important It can get noisy read more

Excellent food, service and vibe. John at the bar is a pleasure and the fancy to go bags are a nice touch!

First of all, Catherine treated us like royalty on our first visit! On each subsequent visit, we were family. The food is seasoned and prepared very well, and the spice level requested was hot - just as we like it. The atmosphere was whimsical and upbeat. The staff is very welcoming, and the decor was very well designed! We have found our Sichuan restaurant! Braveaux!! Michael & Richard read more

The ambiance of this restaurant is a modern cocktail bar, nothing else like it on the street. I thought the food was good and affordable, nice size portions, but nothing out of this world. What's unique is that it offers approachable Chinese food with a fun cocktail environment. It looked like a popular spot, and I would recommend a reservation. Also a positive, the bar stools looked extremely comfortable and I wish we had sat at the bar. read more

Lazy Sister - Kung pao shrimp with eggplant - Chinese Near Me - Norwalk, Connecticut

The food is amazing! Our waitress was great and the service super fast. The happy hour prices are a steal!

I really loved this place the first time I visited and even recommended it to friends. Unfortunately, my second visit was very different. There was a fly in and around the restaurant, and I put a napkin over my food to protect it. My server, Meg, said "that's very smart to put a napkin over your food" in a tone that felt micro-aggressive. Later, when we asked for our food to be wrapped, she returned it and placed my food on the floor before storming off. As a person of color, this felt especially uncomfortable and unprofessional. The manager was very helpful and I received a refund, so this isn't about money. My concern is that someone who handles food carelessly and treats customers this way should not be serving people. I will not be returning, but I hope other customers are treated better. read more

"STOP EVERYTHING YOU'RE DOING AND GET TO LAZY SISTER RIGHT NOW! This South Norwalk treasure has completely revolutionized my expectations of Chinese cuisine! Every single dish feels like it was crafted with pure magic and love. OH. MY. GOODNESS. Their soup dumplings are a RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCE - that perfectly delicate wrapper and that rich, flavorful broth is pure joy! The Shanghai pan fried noodles had me literally dancing in my seat - that perfect crispy-to-chewy ratio is INSANE. And the sauce in their Three Cup Chicken is so good I wanted to drink it straight up ! The Kung Pao shrimp with eggplant knocked my socks off - it's that perfect balance of spicy and savory! And I'm of course still dreaming of their house special Dan Dan noodles. FIRE! The space itself is just as incredible as the food - modern, welcoming, with these adorable illustrations that just make you smile. The staff treats you like family from the moment you walk in, and their enthusiasm for the food is infectious! PROTIP: Save room for their fortune cookie ice cream - it's the perfect end to the impeccable dining experience. I've eaten at Chinese restaurants all over Connecticut, and nothing comes close to Lazy Sister. My only regret now is telling all of you which worsens my chance for a table! P.S. the merch is catch me on my next overnight flight rocking my LS eye mask"​​​​​​​​ read more

Lazy Sister - Soup dumpling - Chinese Near Me - Norwalk, Connecticut

See all

Zero stars. Terrible service. I came in wanting to order food to go, hostess said i have to sit and order, sure ok, then waited 45 MIN to get dumplings! ....just to watch a man come in and pick up food with no issue. The table next to me , who arrived 20 min AFTER my order, received their food prior to me. Waitress did not say a word until I had to question what was going on. I was shocked by the lack of apology or urgency to get my $80 order. She asked "do you want the dumplings on the house?" I said no, its not about the money, its the principle. Huge waste of time. Lazy is the perfect name. Sisters wont make it. Guaranteed. read more

What can I say, It was long overdue! Lazy Sister ROCKS! Lazy Sister is the best new place to open in Norwalk in a LONG, LONG time. It's original, drama free, with killer people ( shout out to DEVUN ) always on point and always eager to please. Ownership knows how to make people feel special, for all the right reasons. GO GO GO... you won't be disappointed read more

The food is fantastic. This is not take out Chinese, but a higher quality, as is reflected in the prices which are not cheap. Came for lunch at 12 on a Wednesday. We had Soup dumplings, Mongolian beef, veggie fried rice and the string beans. All were excellent. But for these four dishes (no beverages), with tip was $80-For two people at lunch on a weekday. No wonder the place was empty. The servers were attentive and the food arrived promptly. The restaurants decor is simple, but rather bland. The menu is not extensive. It has a lot of the basics and popular Chinese dishes. Asked for hot tea and was told they are newly opened and figuring out the hot water. What??? read more

Attended a special friends and family soft opening. As a Chinese food lover there is much to be happy about here both in food and vibe. There is Cantonese, Szechuan, Taiwan, and even Hunan to be found if you look for it. Huge vibe improvement from previous owner. This very well could be CT answer to Ghengis Cohen in LA or Nancy's Pig Heaven in upper east side. Highlights include, beef in scallion pancake wrap, sesame and Dan Dan noodles, great wokhey in green beans (though could be firmer), Szechuan dry pepper chicken and tofu/fish boil (make sure you get them spicy), sleeper hit kungpao shrimp w/eggplant. Sweet and sour ribs tasty and tender, but need a better sear, crispy beef tasty but need larger morsels, Shanghai fried noodles tasty but use thick egg noodles not udon. Get the fortune cookie/almond soft serve (wowzers). Service friendly and attentive just a backed up kitchen made dinner over two hours but give it time. Keep this one afloat people, you won't regret it. read more

If you're in Norwalk and craving Chinese food, Lazy Sister is the place to check out. But don't let the name fool you--the food here is anything but lazy. It's actually fantastic. My favorites were the wontons in chili oil, the spicy cucumber salad, beef-wrapped scallion pancakes, chicken lettuce wraps, mu shu pork, bok choy, cabbage, and string beans. I had a lot of favorites. But the ultimate treat? The fortune cookie soft serve! As a self-proclaimed soft serve snob, I can confidently say this did not disappoint. The staff is also super friendly and welcoming, and I even picked up a cozy pair of Lazy Sister pajamas while I was there which I LOVE! I'll definitely be back! read more

Food was very good and service was excellent! Our waitress was perfect, not hovering but attentive enough.

Great food!!! Great Team!! Drinks and everything is To die for!!! Graciel, John and Perla are the best!!

If you're looking for a spot that nails the perfect mix of fancy and fun, Lazy Sister is calling your name. This isn't your average Chinese restaurant--it's a full-on vibe. The moment you walk in, you're greeted with moody lighting and sleek décor (spoon wall), that makes you feel like you're in on something special. The food and drinks are just as exciting as the ambiance. The soup dumplings are little pockets of magic. We had a fun tutorial from our waitress on how to properly eat them and they were definitely our faves. Tender wrappers hold a burst of piping-hot broth and perfectly seasoned filling. They deliver. Then there's the cabbage dish, which might sound like a snooze, but was recommended by a friend and it's awesome. It has this addictive, savory flavor and perfect texture which is hard to describe and also hard to stop eating. It's the dish you didn't know you needed. The bar menu here is next-level as well. Drinks that look as good as they taste. Whether you're into classics with a twist or wild, experimental concoctions, there's something for everyone. Bonus: they pair perfectly with the upbeat music and buzzing crowd. Ended with fortune cookie ice cream. Delicious. Seriously great energy here and the kind of spot that leaves you smiling long after the check arrives. read more

Phenomenal Asian food with a hip vibe on Washington st. We live across the st and noticed the place has been packed since they opened and came by to check it out. We were greeted by the owner at the front who Seated us quickly. The food was soo good we will be back weekly. Such an improvement and asset to Washington st. Great cocktails and the cabbage was insanely good. read more

Food and staff were excellent, can't wait to go back. Vibe was cool, spicy things were not too spicy

Outstanding food and warm friendly service. Loved the dan dan noodles and cocktails as well. A really great new spot in Sono.

First timers - Lunch Great surprise, wonderful experience. Bartenders and service staff excellent and welcoming. Cocktails great and food the same. Soup dumplings, cold sesame noodles, hot and sour soup, spicy cucumber salad. (Not for the faint hearted. ) All wonderful. Look forward to returning for main dishes. Put at the top of your to do list. read more

Don't understand any reviews less than 5 stars. This place is awesome, food is full of flavor, cocktails are delicious. We sat at the bar, they get very busy during peek hours and can seem a bit overwhelmed, however my wife and I were in no rush and very much enjoyed our date night out to Lazy Sister. We had the soup dumplings, sesame cold noodles (amazing), chow fun, crispy beef (amazing), and fortune cookie soft serve (amazing). Would definitely recommend this place as we are already planning our next date night out to lazy sister. Would suggest a reservation during peek hours to avoid long wait times. read more

Excellent Asian cuisine with attentive care to each dish served. Hot & sour soup is exceptional
