I've found my new sushi spot! I have been down W. Friendly, past the Walmart Neighborhood Store, several times but hadn't turned down Dolley Madison Rd. I'm glad that I did today! From the first sip of the mango tea with lychee jelly, to the shrimp shumai, and eel nigiri, everything was delicious and cooked fresh! My tea was soooo refreshing, perfectly sweet, and exactly how I hoped it would be. My Black Ginger roll was also great! The restaurant has a chill vibe with nice decor, and is perfect for a peaceful meal or date night. I'll have to come back and bring more of my friends! read more

We stopped mid day on a Saturday. The music is an entire vibe here. I actually love it. They were jamming. lol The waiter was super friendly and offered suggestions. I really enjoyed his service. The gyoza was so good. I don't know what kind of sauce came with it, but I would buy a bottle of it. I really appreciated the extra seasoning served to us. It added a great touch to the food. The veggie roll was fresh. I chose a miso ramen. It came in a nice size bowl and full of ingredients including shrimp. It was absolutely delicious. I finished the entire thing. I would most definitely return. Great spot! Good food, great vibe and excellent service. read more

This was a great spot for lunch! The inside was huge and super nice with a mix of traditional Japanese mixed with modern American decor. Everything was nice and peaceful. I got the feeling that it comes alive later, and I think it would be a great dinner spot. Service was good. Our waitress was nice, checked on us several times, but didn't hover when we were done and just catching up. The food was great! I took advantage of the lunch special bento and we split crab Rangoon, which I barely got a picture of because we dove straight in ! Great experience overall. Would try again. read more

I went on a Wednesday around 6:25, placed my order online and it was hot and ready when I arrived. The staff was pleasant and super welcoming and they had a list of drink specials offered during the week. My meal was a little smaller than expected, but it was a normal and reasonable adult sized portion(I'm just accustomed to the ridiculous amount of rice usually received from other places) the vegetables were seasoned and cooked perfectly and they weren't too crunchy or too soft. The chicken on it's own was so well seasoned and juicy, which was so nice because it's easy to overcook chicken breast. Overall I really enjoyed my meal and would definitely return to try other items read more

I have never had a less than exceptional experience at Black Ginger. My go to entree is the brothless ramen with brisket. My friend got his with pork and both were amazing.

I came here for the first time after wanting to try a new sushi place for lunch. The sushi was good and I feel like I got more than I have in other lunch specials at other places but I'm not 100% sure. The eel sauce wasn't the best (I dip in that instead of soy sauce) I've had but it wasn't bad. The service was good, there were only four people dining in during lunch time. My friend goes a lot and says it's never busy. It was a good price for what I got and I will definitely come back. read more

I have been wanting to try this place for awhile and finally had the opportunity to. Kind of strange that we were the only table there during peak lunchtime hours. Our server was attentive but brought the wonton soup out after the sushi. Overall our meal was just okay for what we paid for it. Probably the worst crab wontons I have ever had. The cheese was grainy and the filling was way too sweet. Pad Thai was just okay as well, more on the sweet side and the chicken was too dry and old tasting. I missed some of the accoutrements that normally come with pad Thai like sprouts and green onion. Just rather plain and sweet. My boyfriend had the ramen and while he liked the pork he said he has had better ramen. Not bad but not the best. Prices should reflect that better. Eight dollars for a California roll? read more

Food wasn't that good. I got the crab wontons with a weird texture, crunchy and mushy. Then the Asuka roll with an uneven spread of ingredients. Service was slow with only server/host working, but there was only 2 people in the restaurant. Beautiful on the inside, but won't be returning. read more

I am giving one star for the absolute atrocity of their service. If you like average curry and sushi with a side of insults from staff- this is the place for you! This was my husband and my last date before welcoming our 4th child, a boy next week. I am noticeably pregnant and in my last week of carrying. After ordering our meal this is the conversation with the OWNER. "It's a boy?" "Yes how did you know?" "Because when you are having a boy you are not pretty and when you are having a girl you are pretty." Not only did he directly insult me, but he repeated himself several times loudly. There was no reading between the lines- he repeatedly drilled in that I am "not pretty" and if I were having a girl I would be much prettier. I thought I was being pranked. To add insult to injury he chased us out of the building yelling that he did not mean I am ugly, it's just that I'm not pretty because I'm having a boy. I have never been more humiliated in my life. So, if you want your confidence knocked down several notches and are keen on personal insults, this is the place for you! read more

I've eaten at Black Ginger a few times, me and a date went there on a whim after being in the area and we were not disappointed! The service was great as well as the food, I really love the fried rice. It's the best I've tasted in the area so far. It is a bit expensive but well worth it for a nice upscale intimate dining experience. read more

Just left and had a less than pleasurable experience at Black Ginger. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!!!! Short version- food: meh it's okay, service: awful, ambience; chill vibes Let's start with the food, the crab Rangoon's I ordered were not appetizing at all. They were Luke warm and very oily. Not tasty! I don't make a habit of complaining during my dining experiences because I acknowledge all the people apart of the process, but I really did not like the crab Rangoons and couldn't ignore it. I only ate 1 and when I politely told the waiter that I didn't like them and would like something else or them re-made, he caught an attitude with me and refused at first. He told me that everyone likes them so I would have to pay for them anyway even if I didn't want them. He finally decided to abruptly take them back to the kitchen with an attitude. Upon his return he slammed the plate of Rangoons on the table and walked off without speaking. After we determined we would try to stay positive and enjoy the rest of our food despite the employees terrible energy, he refused to come back to our table to refill water, check on us, or anything. Even when paying the bill, and wishing him a blessed day, I was only returned with snarky comments and eye rolls. My mom and I couldn't believe how rude he was. On another note... The sushi was decent, nothing to brag about, but it will definitely satisfy a sushi craving if it's your only option. The sushi was presented nicely and tasted okay. The price was typical for what I'd usually pay, but I'm used to better quality. I WILL NOT be returning to Black Ginger. read more

Came in unexpectedly for dinner tonight, and it was a pleasure! Excellent sushi and the friendly service was a perfect touch to the evening!

After a long work week I was really craving some comfort food, and sushi was what I wanted. I also wanted to try somewhere new, so my husband and I decided on Black Ginger. I'm so glad we did, because their Dolley Madison Roll is my new all time favorite sushi roll! It has tuna and cream cheese and then topped with spicy crab, eel sauce and spicy Mayo. It's deep fried and has a light and airy crunch to it. I can't say enough as it was just that good! We got the Crab Rangoon and Bang Bang Shrimp as appetizers and both were delicious. I love spicy food, so the shrimp was my favorite. I could've used a little more heat, but it was a good medium for my husband and I, since he doesn't like his food as spicy as I do. My husband opted for the hibachi chicken, which I had to sample! The chicken was seasoned perfectly. Our waiter was so nice and checked on us often to see if we needed anything. We really enjoyed our first dining experience at Black Ginger! read more

Who knew I was going to have company and they would ask for sushi. I have just eaten sushi for 6 days in a row. This by far is the best. Loved the service and the fresh taste. One problem i have seen this week is that the sushi starts to unravel. These did not. I plan to be back next time I am in the mood. Given my recent record, that could be tomorrow. read more

I have been to this establishment a handful of times, and I'd like to share my highest regards. This restaurant exemplifies cozy hospitality. The food was fresh and packed with flavor.

Updating my review because last night was my first time back at Black Ginger in a few months and my first time dining inside. I discovered Black Ginger in 2020, in the height of the pandemic. It was a restaurant in the Triad that I supported often by ordering takeout. Our server was friendly and refilled our drinks often. Food didn't take too long to come out either and everything tasted nice and fresh. The sushi was pretty much the same dine in vs takeout but the crispy crab Rangoons were SO much better last night compared to when I've ordered them to go. Shocking? No, not at all. Obviously they were extra crunchy and hot when we got to eat them right away. I really enjoyed them. Erik and I split a boat of sushi which consisted of the: TNT, black ginger, Carolina, Dolley Madison, meet me in the middle, and tarantula rolls. All were tasty but, as always, the Carolina was my favorite. I liked the crisp crunch that the jalapeño gave to the TNT roll, too. I also ordered a couple rolls and a sashimi sampler to go. Still one of my favorite sushi spots in Greensboro! read more

For the second time in less than a week, I sampled the food at this relative newbie. My initiate exposure to this restaurant was a bit of a mixed bag with the down side being primarily in the service area, though there was a sense that value could be an issue here. But I want this restaurant to serve up some good Chinese dishes, it is so very close to where I live, and I do like well prepared Chinese dishes, Americanized or "authentic". I attempted to avoid the service problem by ordering delivery from Door Dash (if you have not tried them, you should - IMHO they set the delivery standard), and stayed strictly on the Chinese/American side of the menu, with two of the standards I use to judge the overall quality of the food offered. The two are Mongolian Beef ($18), and Kung Pao Chicken ($15.60),and threw in Chicken Wings (8 for $10.80, a bit high I think),and Clear Onion Soup ($3.50). Well this didn't go as I had hoped. Both the Mongolian Beef and the Kung Pao Chicken were not at all what I'd hoped for - too much sauce, overly sweet, Broccoli everywhere. The wings and soup were just OK, and the Fried Rice was dreadfully bland. White rice and crunchies for the soup were good, peanuts for the Kung Pao were not nearly fresh! The food was very average at best, and the value was indeed just not there - $18 for the quality and quantity of Mongolian Beef I received is outrageous, everything else followed that theme - 8 wings for $10.50 is awful, as well - 10 wings at Golden Dragon goes for $7.85 and they are probably the best in town. Kung Pao Chicken at Golden Wok is $8.95, and the portion is at least equal, and the quality in no contest! Golden Wok has a Spicy Beef dish very close to Mongolian Beef for $9.25, and again don't get me started on the quality issue! Maybe the sushi, etc here is worth the cost, and I'm not the least bit sure of that, but the items I tried on this night were poor in quality and value. read more

I had a great lunch experience at this new asian fusion restaurant in Greensboro! The food was really great, the restaurant itself was spotlessly clean with friendly service, and I certainly couldn't get Bento-ut of shape over the value of their Bento boxes at lunch. I went with several coworkers for a birthday lunch, none of us had been before. We started with an appetizer of veggie tempura. It was a nice sized portion with a great variety of delicately fried veggies. In general, all the fried things they do here seem to just have the perfect amount of breading. For lunch, I had a chicken katsu bento box... and seriously, it was the best chicken katsu I have ever had. The chicken under the breading couldn't have been more perfectly cooked, and the breading again was light and crispy. This came with some more of their wonderful veggie tempura, some rice, side salad, a couple of dumplings, and two pieces of a very tasty spicy tuna roll, all for ten bucks. Can't beat that. I'll definitely be coming back here again, it may even be added to my regular lunch rotation. Keep it up Black Ginger! read more

Black Ginger - Dragon, Calamari, and Double Decker Tuna Rolls - Sushi Bars Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

(4+ stars if you stick to sushi, 3.5 otherwise) I was surprised and disappointed when Chinese Kitchen abruptly closed as it was one of Greensboro's better Chinese takeout spots. Black Ginger opened quickly in its stead late last month and while the concept is different, it is a worthy inheritor of this location. For the unfamiliar, Black Ginger isn't visible from Dolley Madison Road proper. It instead may be accessed via Tomahawk, Mapleleaf, or Milner Drives. For those who know the spot from its Chinese Kitchen days, the interior has been pleasantly refreshed. New booths and better lighting make for a clean, bright, and contemporary space. Black Ginger's menu skews Japanese. Bento boxes, miso, and an impressively large sushi menu (including deep fried rolls) are among the offerings. However, there are also Thai curries and a few Chinese standards (Kung Pao and orange chickens and Mongolian beef). Vegetarians won't be put out trying to eat here, either. For our first visit, my wife and I went with a chicken bento box and a steak house fried rice respectively and split a tornado roll. The tornado roll, a fried sushi concoction featuring spicy tuna, cream cheese, pineapples, jalapenos, and a wasabi cream sauce, was easily the highlight of the meal. It was crispy, the flavors balanced nicely (my wife, who hates wasabi, found no complaint with the sauce), and there was plenty of it to go around. Sushi definitely seems to be Black Ginger's strength, and their other rolls merit future investigation. The rest of the food was more uneven. The bento box included a nice salad with a ginger dressing that featured hints of citrus. Accompanying gyoza (fried unless you request otherwise) and cucumber roll were fine, but the chicken was a bit rubbery. The steak fried rice offered a welcome medley of vegetables (corn, peas, carrots, and onions) and made for perfectly satisfying comfort food though I would hesitate to call it exemplary. What is exemplary is Black Ginger's service. My wife and I were greeted warmly upon entry, our server capably answered questions and brought food out with a smile, and staff checked on us throughout our meal to ensure that we were enjoying everything. For the quality and quantity offered, Black Ginger's pricing represents a good value. Bento boxes (protein, vegetables, sushi, gyoza, salad, and rice) range from $9 to $12 depending on the protein, and many entrees are priced about the same. A lot of the fried and specialty sushi rolls go for around $12, including the tornado. Given how recently the restaurant opened, Black Ginger is off to a good start. Some dishes are stronger than others, but stellar service and a bountiful sushi menu make it worth trying. Now if only they'll add cold sesame noodles. read more
