“I’ve heard people say that most Chinese restaurants are so similar that it really doesn’t matter where you order from. That could not be further from the truth, and Wild Rice is proof. In fact, if you’re dieting, my best advice might be to stay away from this place entirely. Every time I go a while without having Wild Rice, I order it once and immediately want it again the next day and every other day that follows. It is ridiculously good, incredibly flavorful, and honestly a little too addicting. I even order it when I’m feeling under the weather. Maybe it’s all the flavor and the fresh, authentic Eastern vegetables they use, but somehow I always feel better within an hour of devouring it. Even their Thai dishes are fantastic. They may be prepared differently from what you would get at a traditional Thai restaurant, but somehow you end up loving Wild Rice’s version just as much. Everything I’ve tried has its own flavor and never tastes like the generic Chinese takeout you can get anywhere. Another thing that really stands out is the staff. Everyone is consistently friendly, welcoming, and genuinely seems happy to see you. That makes such a difference, especially when you become a regular because the food keeps pulling you back. Finally, something I really appreciate is that you can see directly into the kitchen from the counter. The restaurant and kitchen are always extremely clean, which only adds to the experience. So no, all Chinese food is definitely not the same. Wild Rice has actually created a different problem: once you get used to their food, you don’t want Chinese food from anywhere else.”
