Nice quiet atmosphere. Tonight maybe 18 customers here tonight. Me and my girlfriend always reserve a seats at the bar or at the high top tables near it. The food is always fresh. Sunny provided great service.

Spicy Shrimp and Eggplant
Greg L.

Cafe Ginger is so solid I wish it was closer to my house I would prob be there every other week. Had Spicy Shrimp with Eggplant, a red dragon roll, and wife had sesame chicken. Everything was delicious and service excellent. They also have really nice specialty cocktails. I have come for lunch and dinner a dozen times over the years and always leave full and happy. Also the place has great ambiance and feel. Don't let the strip mall fool you. Inside you will sit a table with white table cloths, beautiful sculptures and art all over the wall's. They have a bar and sushi bar area also.

Dinner with friends

Okay place for Sunday night dinner with the family. Make sure to confirm any food restrictions repeatedly. We repeated them more than a couple of times. The hot and sour soup is good. The crispy eggplant with chicken is a bit unusual. The crispy eggplant is topped with minced chicken and minced veggies. By the time it gets to you, guess what? The eggplant is not crispy. Ordered moo shu chicken with extra pancakes. Confirmed no pork and no shellfish several times. When they brought the moo shu, we confirmed that it was moo shu chicken. After my husband took a few bites, guess what? Our server came over and apologized that they accidentally made moo shu pork. Nooooo!! Learned our lesson. If we go back with family, no more moo shu chicken, which is one of our favorites.

I cannot believe, I just started hearing about this place within the last six months! I have shopped next door at the TJ Maxx often and never thought of coming here. This is my regular place to meet up with friends now! I love the service is great here as they seat you right away. They have a cocktail bar and sushi bar. The parking is ok, as they are located in a shopping centre. I love the Lychee Martini, I'm telling you, one glass can get you lit! They have lunch specials weekly and a great variety of options. The appetizer menu is so good and we mostly order from there as the portions are almost like an entree. The ambiance is nice, with white table cloths. I recommend making a reservation if you want booth seating. I really enjoy the drinks and food here!

1. General Tso's Chicken
Lauren M.

First time coming here with a group of coworkers and was very impressed with the decor! So beautiful. We were seated in the back room promptly as we had a reservation. The service was notably great. On top of that I felt like the lunch general tso's portion was large and the chicken was hearty. Some general tso's is mostly breading and I didn't feel this way about this dish here. Dumplings were really good! They had a chili sauce that was so good I wanted to take a big batch of it home. I would absolutely come back!

Really nice atmosphere and great food. I usually stick to the sushi, and it never fails to satisfy me- always fresh and beautifully presented. My friends had the lo mein and loved it as well. The martinis are definitely worth recommending. Perfect spot for a great night out.

Hot & Sour soup.
Mike C.

Oh my, I found another gem! Cafe Ginger is the real deal on every level! Such a beautiful restaurant. I sat at the bar and immediately had people around me bringing menu, silverware, sauces etc. excellent service from host stand to bartender to servers...all top notch. One thing I loved was the menu. Many Chinese dishes I've never seen at any other restaurant. Yes some of the standards were there but I was excited to go on a new Chinese culinary journey! I ordered the Beijing shredded pork. You have a choice of soup and side. Hot and sour and spring roll for me...both excellent as was the Beijing pork. While waiting for my meal I observed how the ultra professional staff went about taking care of the other guest. Wow...that's how it's done and one would expect a restaurant of this caliber to be expensive but it was very reasonable for what they provided. I can't wait to go back for another 5 Star culinary journey! GREAT JOB!

Finally a chinese japanese spot i can return to over and over! I thoroughly enjoyed the lo mein and wonton soup. It was fresh and just delicious. I am planning my return to try the sushi varieties. The staff is just so flipping great, very attentive, and have great recommendations. The restaurant surprised me when I walked in it looked small feom the outside but expanded when I walked in. I met a long time patron and was ensured all the dishes are all pretty great.

Service is excellent inside ambience is great as soon as you walk in the restaurant you know that is going to be a good experience. Enjoy every bit of it. go ahead and try it yourself every food dish. every kind of food deserve everybody's attention.

Dumpling (8) Pan Fried
Kristen C.

I didn't get to post all of my food but I can say the food was delicious, and freshly made. We got a variety of items from the menu to share amongst our table: general tsu chicken, dumplings, spicy edamame & sushi! The atmosphere is very charming to the cuisine, and the service was great. I will be returning with family next time! Also, The lychee martini paired nicely with the food, definitely recommend going if you want a cozy meal.

Sushi

We have been getting takeout from Cafe Ginger, minimum once a week, for YEARS now. So much so that this is our idea of comfort food in my household- it always hits the spot. Our most frequently ordered items are the crab puffs, the minced chicken lettuce wraps, the kung pao chicken, the sesame chicken, the orange beef, and the special fried rice. I highly recommend all these items. All dinner entrees come with your choice of white, brown or fried rice, egg drop or hot & sour soup, and 2 crab puffs or one spring roll. Their portions are so generous that we always get at least two meals out of each entree. Also, you can ask them to make your dish more or less spicy. I always let them know that I cannot eat spicy food at all, so they skip the Szechuan peppers in my entree. In the rare occasion that we decide to dine in, service has been top notch and servers have always been very attentive. They have never let our glasses (or plates) go empty. The atmosphere is classy and the decor is beautiful. Parking is plentiful too. We'll be back soon!

Garlic Shrimp

When I lived on this side of town I came in all the time. Portions are really good and I love their egg Rand wonton soup. I have to get it to go so I can get home to put my drops in. Good food all the time. Ten stars.

Beautiful decor and ambience. The white table clothes come out for dinner service.

See all

Can you bring your own wine?

I don't think so, they have a nice variety of wines in the restaurant in different prices. Indeed they have a full bar.

Is there an outdoor area?

No there is not. Restaurant is so beautiful, you would want to sit inside anyway.

Do they have a full bar or just some small drinks?

Full Bar

Are there gluten-free options?

Don't know. Sorry

Where is the new cafe ginger as we put this address in and doesn't exist? Can someone update the new address?

The DJ was also bumpin'! Song choices were fitting and he mixed the music seamlessly which made the vibes so much more fun. We loved the Prosciutto Flatbread, the toppings were generous and the crust was perfectly chewy but crispy. We also got the Papas Bravas, which was pretty standard. For drinks, we got the Situationship, Lychee Lemon Drop, Smooth Operator, and Blue Tile IPA. All the cocktails were very tasty and perfectly balanced.

The vibe is always great, and the team truly went above and beyond for our group. Crysta, the Manager, was wonderful to work with and had our space set up beautifully, including a personalized menu, saxophonist and great DJ, that made the event feel extra special. Cristian, our server, took such great care of us and our guests all night and made sure everything ran smoothly. Jordan, the videographer/content creator, was also capturing special moments throughout the evening, which was such a nice touch. I would 100% recommend Plume for events or a night out, and we will definitely be back!

Even though the place was completely full, the service was still quick and really good. They brought out more chairs to accommodate our growing party and we never had to wait long for drinks. After about an hour, we slid through the back door and into the speakeasy. This portion of the bar was equally impressive and had the same high end vibe. More great service, more great drinks. Some Louis XIII may have been poured- which came with white glove service and a complete history lesson btw lol Literally zero complaints. Just a great night out.

First, the vibe. It is warm, stylish, and very Montrose in the best way. It feels elevated but still relaxed enough to just sit, talk, and enjoy your time without feeling rushed. We came during happy hour and it was such a great deal. I ordered the Sweet Like Peach Tree, which was light, refreshing, and perfectly balanced with the peach and ginger. My husband got the Frozen Paloma and it was just as good, super smooth with the right citrus bite. We also shared the churros and they were honestly a must order. Warm, crispy, and paired with Nutella and caramel. What really made the experience stand out though was our bartender, Manny. He was incredibly welcoming from the moment we sat down, had such a great personality, and made the whole experience feel personal. You can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does, and that kind of service is hard to find. He also told us about their upcoming two year anniversary party on May 3rd with rotating live DJs, which sounds like it will be such a fun time. We will definitely be back. Between the drinks, the atmosphere, and the service, this place really gets it right.

It's a little small inside and a small parking lot, but if you're lucky and can walk there, do! The quality of the drinks are really excellent and the burgers have been voted some of the best in town! I can't speak for them, but the drinks and the spot, are phenomenal. They have bingo nights, dj nights, and other themed events that keep the place packed out. Maybe once I try the burgers, it'll be 5 stars, but the smallll parking lot and lack of safe street parking keep me at 4.
