    Had not been to Wild Ginger in quite a while. Has a really great meal with friends who were in town. All of the dishes were very tasty and I think we finished everything we ordered. We had six people so we were able to try lots of dishes and shared family style. Some of the favs were: Papaya salad, Hanoi Tuna, Pad Thai noodles, Mongolian noodles, chicken curry. We also had a yummy coconut tapioca dessert. Service was great as well. I wasn’t sure what to expect given it was Valentines Day. It felt like the restaurant spaced out reservations well instead of trying to cram everyone in. Lastly, really appreciated the spacing of table and noise level. Finally a great meal without so much noise you can’t hear the person sitting across from you. All I all a great experience for us. We will be back!

    This was the perfect romantic (early) Valentines dinner for us! the food was delicious...possibly the best rack of lamb and sautéed calamari that we've had, here, or in Italy! The ambiance was perfect - lower light and sound levels, and smooth jazz (every Thursday evening). And Katie's service was amazing, including her ability to match the perfect bottle of Barbera to our tastes and meal! In business for 50 years, and still the utmost is cast, quality, service, and value. Magnifico!
