The service was great. The atmosphere was perfect. Not busy at all on a Sunday night. It’s so pretty inside, with fancy napkin and chopsticks. The food was amazing. We loved it. We will be back every time we visit Norwalk.

I absolutely love wild rice. It is by far my favorite place to eat. You can never go wrong here. They have lots of options and are very quick, the food is always fresh and the staff is amazing. There is never a time they have disappointed me. I have eaten here over 10 times and it has always been 100%. Also affordable for what they offer! Came to eat with around 10+ people and the bill was $300$-400 including drinks and meals for everyone. I love wild rice!

I’m in town for business travel and stopped in for dinner. I was blown away- amazing food, great service, and very zen atmosphere. I had the filet hibachi. Highly recommend!

We decided to try this place on a whim and oh my GOD we couldn’t get a picture of the food as we started to scarf it down so fast. I didn’t even want lo mein but I saw someone eating it and it looked so good I had to order it instantly. We’re literally planning on coming back tomorrow with my dad and brother it’s that good. New go-to!

This was a providential gift! Hideous traffic from NH to PA had us scrambling for a last minute place to eat. A quick google search made us go here and what a pleasant surprise! Reasonable prices, large portions, fresh and delicious food. So thankful!

Visited August of 2016 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.

Very surprised by this place. From the outside it does not look to appealing, but once you in its a different feel. Very clean and the sushi was very fresh. Service/waiters need more training on customer service. Other than that I would definitely visit again.
