    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.

    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.
    Taylor S.

    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.

    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.
    Ben P.

    I ordered the mandarin chicken, and shared some steamed pork dumplings with my friend, who ordered sushi. Service for food was pretty fast, but I would have been surprised if it were not (as we came at 3:30pm, and the restaurant was empty except 4+ employees). The chicken was pretty, and decently good, and deserved a 4/5 rating - about as good as expected. I was disappointed that the breading was very thick and too crunchy (thick and soft or thin and crunchy would be better). My main complaints are that (a) the server didn't pay attention to our waters even though we were the only customers in the restaurant, and once it took 8-10 minutes for him to refill them (2/5) and (b) the food was about 20-30% more expensive than it probably should have been, which I guess isn't too surprising given the area. I don't count this against the restaurant, given the circumstances. The main redeeming factor was that the dumplings were amazing. Had I tasted them before ordering my other food, I would have just ordered more dumplings instead. I very highly suggest them (6/5). An additional thing to note: there was really nice looking outside seating on the sidewalk. We didn't sit outside because it was 85º and humid, but I would consider it next time. Overall, I recommend this place.

    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!

    Food came out pretty quick. Say next to a dripping AC with a puddle of water next to us our whole dinning experience which was a turn off.

    This is the first time I've been to a revolving sushi restaurant and it did not disappoint. It was…read moreso fun to look on the conveyor belt and grab whatever items looked good. They have an all you can eat option and you can order off the menu if the items on the belt don't tickle your fancy. Items on the belt are not just sushi there are salads and other bites as well.

    Visited at noon time on a Monday holiday. Not sure if that was the best time to go…read more Negatives: -cluttered inside. Ex. Empty boxes stacked on chairs -bathrooms not the cleanest -not a lot of variety sent out with way too much Edamame as an option -they slow rolled our group of 5 after I assume they thought we ate enough. Imo, we did not get close to the $27 cost per each of us. My estimation we were at about the $20 worth it mark.. Positives: -The food was excellent -very cool concept I will give them the benefit of the doubt. Maybe noon Monday after St Valentine's Day when they are closed the next day (tues) was not the best time to go. Maybe they were low on supply. I may try again some time but definitely not bring my family of 6 to test it out again. I hesitate to write a semi negative review but felt like I should. As I said, the food we did have was very good. Maybe next time we just order off the non all-you-can-eat menu

    So I like the hibachi atmosphere! A little retro with nice relaxing music. The service is helpful…read moreand and considerate. Although we arrived near opening hours, so little competition for EXCELLENT SERVICEThe selection was a finer taste, making me feeling fancy Im definitely looking forward to trying the hibachi another time.

    I'm honestly really disappointed with my experience here -- especially because it happened twice…read more The first time, the portions were extremely unfair. I clearly asked beforehand if I could get a side prepared directly from the kitchen in a separate bowl of noodles so it wouldn't be mixed in on the hibachi stove and turn into leftovers. They said yes -- but what I received was basically a tiny sliver of food. It honestly looked like scraps or leftovers. It was such a small portion that it didn't even make sense for what we paid. What made it worse was that the people sitting across from us received noticeably larger portions -- way bigger plates with much more food -- while ours were tiny. It felt completely unfair. The service also wasn't great. When I called ahead, I was told I couldn't make a reservation. But when we arrived, they asked if we had one. Then they said they only start taking reservations later in the day, which was never explained on the phone. The communication was confusing and inconsistent. Overall, between the unfair portions, messed-up orders, and poor service, this place really let us down. For the price you pay at hibachi restaurants, you expect quality and fairness -- and unfortunately, that wasn't the case here.
