"Everything is so flavorful and satisfying, regardless of whether nor not its vegan. A great choice when trying to satisfy those on gluten-free or vegan diets (we are neither). Two blocks from Rogers Arena but reservation a must when there's an event."

"A group of us that regularly attend the opera like to go for dinner beforehand and decided that we would go to Wild Rice. The food was great, the service was excellent, we were able to order, be served and consume in a timely fashion that left us not feeling rushed or hurried. Wild Rice made a wonderful start of the evening and we had a lot of fun."

"My big problem was menu related. Specifically, I'm a vegan and came because the menu online said there were vegan options. However one vegan option came with cream cheese so I didn't eat it. Later. I asked about the shanghai noodle. The waiter told me it was on egg noodle. Egg is vegetarian. Egg is not vegan. If rice noodle was used. It would be vegan. The service was great but the menu needs a bit of work."

"Excellent food - as always. Do yourself a favour and have Polenta fries. I enjoy the small portions that allow diners to try a nice variety of items - get guidance from the knowledgeable staff as to items that go well together, popular dishes, etc. Steamed mixed vegetables sounds pretty boring right? It wasn't - this vegan got 30% of her daily iron & calcium and 2 days worth of vitamin C from some Crazy-tasty spinach, snow peas & broccoli. I have to know what was in there, just a touch of salty/savoury. Delicious."

"Great little find for a pre-theatre dinner. We were in quite early so not super busy or loud. They actually take a booking which was helpful. Food very tasty. Vege spring rolls, Ahi Tuna, Vege (gyoza) but they are called something else. Hot and Sour soup a little too much vinegar for me but my friends enjoyed it. Wine on the slightly expensive side for the pour size. Waitress was great, very efficient with great sense of humour. Will definitely return to try more on the menu and not have to rush out so quickly."

"Food was decent. The spring rolls, sticky soy wings and Kung Po chicken were really good! Sauce for spring rolls was puny and think could benefit from a little more heat! Lamb pot stickers didn't impress, flavour did not surface at all. Polenta fries could benefit by adding more flavour/spice to it or complementing it with a dipping sauce that would complement and enhance to overall taste. The china town sweep with braised rib was not bad, for us, could have benefited from a little more spice with a slight kick.
Will try the Wild Rice in N. West."

"Great spot to eat before a Canucks game. The doors open at 5 so we were one of the first tables to be seated, the room filled up quickly. Our server was a bit forgetful and had a of an attitude, which diminished the experience obviously. I can't say if that's a regular thing or if it was just an "off" night.
I had the much-hyped spicy peanut Kung Pao (with shikatani mushrooms and vegetables). While the dish was very tasty (even though it wasn't really spicy), it was 95% rice noodles, with hardly any vegetables or mushrooms. If you're looking for major carbs, this is the dish, if you're looking for a well rounded, healthier dish, this is probably not the best choice. I was a bit disappointed.
Otherwise, Wild Rice has a cool, casual v"

"Our group of six was looking for somewhere interesting to go following a movie at International Village. This dark, quiet spot was an excellent choice. The Dine Out menu was outstanding value and utterly delicious. The service was faultless and friendly but not overbearing. Within our group of six, everyone raved about their own menu choices.I would recommend this restaurant and would definitely return."

"WR has been a good restaurant and relatively predictable. Our Dine Out meal, was one of the worst I have had anywhere at anytime. There were 3 Dine Out choices to start, 3 mains and 3 desserts. The seafood chowder to start was excellent. But ALL of the mains were horrible. They were flavourless yet too salty. One dish had to be sent back because of the salt. Later at home we found ourselves drinking more water... a sure sign of the sodium content in the food. The mushroom main course was mushrooms mixed with MACCARONI ... imagine going to an Asian fusion restaurant and paying for a maccaroni dish? I did not finish my chocolate pudding dessert... another disappointment."

"We were here for a dineout event. The food was tasty although portions seemed a bit smaller than I recall and also the presentation was not as I remember having come to Wild Rice before. The beef noodles were tasty maybe just a tad more too much sauce. The soup was really good, especially the wonton soup. The desserts were ok. The coconut pudding was good but not anything out of the ordinary. The chocolate cookies were a bit salty so I wasn't sure if it was like that to dip with the coconut pudding. All in all good value for $18 for,3 courses."

"Four of us dined at the Wild Rice and each of us enjoyed a three course meal. The menu offered lots of variety and gluten free options. The food was excellent with interesting flavours and ample size. We will definitely go there again."

"Have enjoyed this restaurant for a number of years, but it has gone downhill lately. On our most recent trip, a very limited DineOut menu was the only option. The food ranged from bad to mediocre and the service was slow, inattentive and poorly informed. Probably won't be going back, which is too bad because we used to really like eating here."

"My wife and I used to dine here once every couple of months. Then a few years ago something happened. The menu stayed the same, but the taste went downhill. So we stopped coming for a couple of years. Well this year we returned for an experiment during dine out, and WILD RICE is BACK BABY!
The kung pao was delightful, the soups excellent! the deserts, cosi buono!
We will make Wild Rice once again part of our regular dinning year round!"

"We had a terrible experience during our dine out visit. Upon reserving we asked for a quiet corner table but they seated us next to a noisy table of 10! Then 2 out of 3 appetizers were not available even though we had the first seating at 6pm. After we put our order in, we waited 30 minutes for our only appetizer choice to come out (hot & sour soup). Once it finally arrived, the entrees came with the appetizers. Furthermore, the hot & sour soup tasted like salty vinegar-it was so unappetizing that neither one of us finished it. The entrees were ok-but it's something you can get at Wok Box. My partner ordered the brownie for dessert, which had really strange spices in it and I ordered the chocolate coconut pudding which was extremely grainy."

"We enjoyed the modern feel and lighting of this restaurant. Our third visit to the restaurant, the Dine-out Vancouver meal selections were delicious and the service was quick and friendly. The only draw back was that we were seated right beside the window, and in the winter I found that to be a little bit chilly."

"better for drinks
food was mediocre, boring actually. seemed like whoever was cooking phoned it in.
I have been there in the past and it was much better. perhaps an issue with dine-out"

"Impressed by the $18 Dine Out Menu!! The Thai soup was different but tasty. The braised beef with noodles was good if slightly greasy, but the desserts were definitely yummy! My friend had the brownie and I had the chocolate pudding- both excellent! Definitely a hidden gem forthe area, which has some sketchy bits..."

"They really skimped on the $18 dine out menu. The sweet and sour soup was almost inedible (way too much vinegar) and the rice in the kung pow dish was barely cooked and not spicy at all. The desserts were chintzy and had way too much sugar. I will not be coming back."
