Wild Rice117 W Pender Street, Vancouver
No ET coupon value/overpriced food/no-fun atmosphere
Submitted Thursday, February 19, 2009 - 12:07pm [Dine in]

This is obviously one of those restaurants that overprices its food to account for Entertainment Coupons. Don't bother going here folks if you simply want to use a coupon. You will get much better value pretty much anywhere else. $18 for a "share" plate which is smaller than most entrees at other restuarants is totally ridiculous. To add insult to injury, although the coupon says 'buy one dinner plate get one free', because there was only 3 of us, the unfriendly server advised we could use only one coupon. We were here celebrating a birthday, and so asked the server to surprise the birthday girl with a dessert, which she did bring with a candle. Not only was the dessert not complimentary (a common practice at the majority of restaurants), but we were charged $8 for a piece of cheesecake the size of half an ice-cream scoop!!! We had bought 4 entrees and many drinks - the least they could do is comp the dessert. We had three servers over the course of the evening, only one of which was cheerful - the other two couldn't manage to break a smile to save their lives. My one positive note is that the Spicy Kung Pao Chicken is totally delicious - I loved the kettle-roasted peanuts! Again, however, the portion size was ridiculously small. I think it was $15 or $18 and there were maybe 5 chunks of chicken. As tasty as that dish was, it is not worth returning for. I'm certainly not "wild" about Wild Rice. I'll never return.
