For vegetarian lovers or anyone that wants to try tofu... let this be your first tofu dish! This is lime chili tofu but ask for fresh tofu instead of the fried tofu it originally comes with. This is so good and will not disappoint even meat lovers! read more

My family and I came here on our way to Massachusetts. We wanted to eat and it was a little late for lunch but we didn't want fast food. Found this place through Yelp. Luckily we found parking right in front because there are only 4 spots. The time that we arrived was around 3PM so the staff was eating their lunch. We were seated right away. They let us ordered the lunch specials even though the specials end at 3PM. I ordered the drunken noodle lunch special with minced pork. My wife ordered pad Thai with eggplant lunch special. My daughter got sweet and sour chicken lunch special and my son got the beef and broccoli lunch special. All of the dishes were OK, not great. Service was adequate but staff was not very friendly. The floor needed to be swept because there was some food under one of the tables. We will not be coming back. read more

Driven by this place a few times and we had always wanted to try it out. Finally we made it and it did not disappoint! Ordered way too much food for two people, but we really wanted to try a bit of everything since we were here. We had ordered the following: - Drunken noodles - Pad Thai (you have to order this if you are at a Thai restaurant for the first time) - Tom Yum soup - Nasi Goreng (Indonesian Fried Rice) Boy was everything flavourful! The soup was delicious! Very flavourful with a kick to it. We ordered the Drunken noodles as everyone was raving about it. It was really good - but beware! Super spicy and we didn't even ask for super spicy - we typically can handle our spices, but boy, this one took spicy to a whole new level. The Nasi Goreng was really good! It was our favourite dish out of everything! Will definitely go back to try more! Their lunch specials seem to be a really good deal! read more

Been here 2 times in the last 2 weeks, since I am in town on business. I went with the Pad Thai with tofu as this is one of my favorite go to Thai foods. I found it interesting they don't do any spice level for Pad Thai. I thought I was good, not the best I have ever had but I would go back and try a different dish to see how they do on other dishes. The restaurant was small and quiet and the people were really nice. Overall a very good experience. read more

I wanted to love this place. Instead, it's a definite like. In some ways, it has what you are looking for. Quick service and attentive. Water refilled. It's a small place across from train station but pleasant enough. The food was good. The basil chicken came with a boatload of brown rice and plenty of chicken. Surprisingly I could've used a few more veggies in it too. The pork dumplings were a bit disappointing. They were like warm when they came out and a little bland. Perhaps I should've gotten something else. Overall, I came away feeling that this is one of a whole host of solid Thai restaurants that a decade ago stood out. Now probably has a consistent following. But a destination? No, not quite. read more

I have never experienced a behavior like this. A female server literally chased us outside for tip. I've been going to this restaurant for over 7 years and it's absolutely disheartening that I've been treated this way. She literally said we were suppose to pay 18% and I decided not to pay the full 18% as I wasn't happy with her service. She literally said "Indian restaurants charge 18 percent and if you can't then you should order take out" she just assumed just because I'm Indian I can't tip them. He would litellh throw our plate around, I asked for a straw and printed like she didn't even hear me. When I called her out on it she said "I heard you wait". JUST BECAUSE I'M INDIAN I BEEN TREATED LIKE THIS. Please report her!!!!! I have never experienced racism, I've been in this country for 11 years and it's brutal to be treated like this just for a dollar. Just because I didn't like her service. read more

Went here twice while staying in the Norwalk area for work. The dishes offered are pretty standard Thai fare, but all of the ones that I tried were done extremely well. The restaurant is also very fairly priced, and the service is excellent! I tried the vegetable spring rolls, basil eggplant, and cashew chicken during my different visits there this week. The veggie spring rolls were beautifully light despite being fried, and the plum sauce that came with them was sooooo good! The basil eggplant was pretty spicy, but I was fairly warned as they indicated the spice on the menu. It was still delicious though. The vegetables were treated so well, and each component's flavors came through. The cashew chicken was also very good. The sauce was rich and flavorful without being too heavy. Again, the vegetables tasted very fresh and were cooked well. I got this dish as a lunch special, and the portion was a very good size. If you're craving good Thai food in the are, I'd definitely recommend this place! read more

It is late, no dinner, and I didn't feel like driving so far north to Kit's Thai in Stamford (live off 95). So I stopped off at Little Thai Kitchen and now it has become our "It thai place" in the area. The beef and chicken are always soft, flavorful, and tasty. I have had at least two Curry dishes, Pad Thai, and Pad Seuw - all kicked but. . .and they were nice of enough to refill my Thai Iced Tea as I was waiting for my order (take away) We have been back to Little Thai for dinner, as well. It isn't very busy during the week (lots of take out business) but the interior is well designed, nuvo, and cool. Overall - we loved the food, the flavors. . .though I guess the curries (even the mild ones) have been a little spicy for my wife. read more

We, a party of 8, were on 1-95 headed towards NY with the torrential rain making for slow progress on dark chilly Friday evening. So how does one deal with this misery? Thai food of course. A quick check with Yelp showed this Thai restaurant was just off the highway. A quick phone call and a pleasant lady confirmed they could have a table ready and waiting. As we turned the corner off Boston Post Road we spotted a life raft in the ocean of traffic, an empty parking spot right in front of the restaurant. As we pulled in our hearts sank. The restaurant looked like a hole in the wall. Could 8 people even fit inside? Could Karma be so cruel to bring us down a peg or two? As we enter our faith in Karma is restored. There along the far wall is a beautiful collection of tables pulled together in setting for 8. We must have done some good in this life to be so rewarded. Or is this just a tease, with a letdown in store? The waitress is there within a minute, menus handed out and water glasses filled. Orders for appetizers taken promptly and she comes back shortly for our entree selections. I note she puts pen to paper. A good sign I think because we 8 are very trying on any wait staff. A couple are vegetarian, another two want extra spice, another two want no heat whatsoever, someone chimes in "no fish sauce", while one wants an extra egg in their fried rice. This is a recipe for disaster... but not in this joint. Dish after dish arrived all exactly as ordered. From Som Tum to Kee Mao fried rice and all the way to Pad Ped Chicken extra spicy. Entree sizes are generous, the ingredients appear fresh, the taste is authentic. The group of 8 was unanimous in its verdict "a better food experience than many a fancy restaurant" This is no ordinary feat- to get this group on the same wavelength. We have not agreed on any one thing so far this year...Karma can be a wonderful thing. Thank you Little Thai Kitchen for bringing out good feelings in us. The rest of our journey was very pleasant. Tomorrow is another day of course. read more

We showed up at the tail end of dinner service but were catered to beautifully. The Tom Kar to start with some spring rolls, the is made authentically with galangal. Tangy, rich, flavorful but light, this soup was the best I've had outside of NYC (it may even be better). Basil Chicken was well balanced and the vegetables were fresh and perfectly cooked. The classic Massaman was also delicious - creamy, slight spice, with layers of flavor from the basil, peanut, onions and chicken. Second visit included the Duck Ga Prow - big portion with an incredibly deep buttery texture which was cut nicely by the sautéed pepper and heat from chilies. Pra Raam Chicken followed as the only miss I've experienced here. The peanut sauce was too salty and had a sticky goop property to it that just didn't feel good eating. Order any mix of the spring rolls, crispy tofu, minced chicken and sweet chili wings to start. read more

This is an Uber eats review. This was on the border of bad to worse. The portion size was really small and the shrimp soup smelled very fishy. I got the chicken curry with vegetables for lunch, the taste was over powered by the spice and grease. The chicken and the string beans were the best part, sadly there just wasn't enough of it. I threw out the soup. Uber eats has gotten too expensive and the food seems to be marked up about 10-20% more than online menu prices. Seems shady to me, overall not worth the $19 for soup and lunch portion. read more

It's was a recommended dish and I got it with shrimp for $11. Others had the pineapple fried rice and like their meals. My Laksa was way too thick, like a curry dish. It was exactly like a curry dish just a huge bowl of it and not at all like the soup it should be.

Paparazzi is a remarkable addition to Darien's dining scene. The food is elegant, deeply flavorful,…read moreand beautifully executed, offering exceptional quality at surprisingly approachable prices. Every dish reflects care, precision, and a clear respect for ingredients. What truly elevates the experience is the warmth of the service. The owners are present and personally attentive, creating an atmosphere that feels both refined and genuinely welcoming. Despite being newly opened, Paparazzi already feels established--most guests are locals and many are clearly returning, which speaks volumes. The chef and owner brings experience from Michelin-starred kitchens in Greenwich, and that pedigree is evident throughout the menu. Paparazzi has all the elements of a restaurant destined for notable recognition. An essential stop for anyone in the area or visiting Connecticut.

The casual atmosphere always makes us feel super comfortable whenever we're having a lazy day but crave a satisfying burger! All of the servers are also very attentive, with our food being ready fairly quickly. I definitely recommend trying this burger joint out whenever you are out and about in the local area.

I started out with a veggie burger. I always get this burger with a side of avocado cream sauce because it's a game changer. This sauce tases amazing with the veggie patty. Randomly, they have a Japanese side dish of pickled vegetables (tsukemono) and they have a sharp, gingery flavor that I love. I also got their BLT Ranch Crispy Chicken Sandwich, which was equally delicious, although they could've put a little more ranch on it. I paired that with their onion rings which were crispy and satisfying. I dipped them in my leftover avocado sauce as well. This restaurant has been a staple of the community for a long time by consistently using high quality ingredients to make incredible food. It's good to know that they haven't changed after all this time. You'll love it here.

Bareburger

Consistent spot with a solid menu, just skip the rings lately…read more We've been coming to Bareburger at Darien Commons (right off exit 10 on I-95) for a while now, and it's easily become one of our reliable go-tos. Parking is always plentiful, which already takes the stress out of heading there. The vibe inside is cozy and casual with a spacious dining area and plenty of booths. Plus, they have a full bar and a vintage video game console that always makes a big kid like me happy while we wait. The manager and the staff here are consistently great--super welcoming and attentive every single time. When it comes to the food, we pretty much have our order down to a science: Four Smash Burger & Fries: You can't go wrong with this one. Paired with a side of French fries, it's a hit every time and you save a few bucks. The Southwestern Bowl: It comes with the all-natural grilled "wham bam" chicken, avocado, cauliflower rice, black beans, pickled red onion, jalapeños, tomatoes, greens, and tortilla chips, but we skip the jalapeño ranch. It's fresh, filling, and always hits the spot. They also have a really good vegan selection on the menu if you have dietary preferences. The only real downside lately has been the onion rings. We used to absolutely love them when they first opened, but the last few times we ordered them, they came out overcooked and rock-hard, so we've stopped adding them to our order. Stick to the fries instead. Bonus points for the outdoor dining area! It's great when the weather's right, especially if you have fur babies like us and want to bring them along. Definitely recommend checking this location out.

What happened to this place?…read more It started with a young hip, family friendly vibe with premium priced burgers and a lot of kid food. Tonight on a Thursday night, the place was understaffed... running late with a slew of phone and Uber orders... and seemed to be teaming with screaming children, whose parents were somewhat frustrated that their little ones were not getting their fries. The sun blazing in the western window which has no screen to protect people facing in that direction. Why? It's been this way since they opened and despite numerous requests, management has done nothing. Dinner for two with a burger and a wrap and two soft drinks and one order of fries came to $50 with tip. Sorry. Not worth it.

Poppers (Yorkshire pudding instead of bread) was an interesting twist and very nice I had wagyu dumplings (wasn't hugely keen but overall ok) and yellowfin tuna with salad which was great My spouse and friends has a variety of dishes - beef wellington, salads, wagyu steak. All excellent Some good wine selections - we had a nice bottle of French wine and other drinks Good deserts and coffee Easiest way too sum up Roost is that it's like going to a far superior 1020 at a price that is higher but not hugely so. Easily the best food offering all round in Darien (and yes it's better than the French place which has food that is hit and miss)

The restaurant is near the train station and a lot of shopping areas, but always is quiet. Got the Roots special- slider, 1/2 lobster roll and French onion soup. Delicious and great value.

I followed my instincts and ordered the homemade corned beef hash, with one scrambled egg and hash browns, and was very pleased with everything (except the bottled grapefruit juice, which was mostly corn syrup). As you can see from the photo, the chef had a generous hand! The service was friendly. A lot of workers came in to order breakfast sandwiches. I think there were nine small tables in the whole place. Parking was easy, but pulling out from the parking area to go home can't be done in a rush, as it's on the corner of Ledge Rd. and Noroton Ave. It was morning rush hour.

Everything's always clean. It's a small place but that doesn't matter when the food is great, the service is quick, and the atmosphere is lovely. Random thing we also enjoy is the fact that the toast is always buttered already when it's served to us.
