The service here is absolutely horrible. They gave us the wrong QR, put our foods as takeout then didn't bother to provide us an alternative. The food at this place is not worth the wait IMO. Better spots that you can drive a couple mins for like Gao Lhao. Service is also basically nonexistent here, so not sure why expect to pre-tip without providing any actual servicing to customers. Wouldn't recommend. read more

Ginger & Scallion - Thai Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I'd like to proclaim that I'm somewhat an expert in eating hainamese chicken and chicken rice. I've grown up eating it, and have eaten it around the world. There's a threshold of flavor that you need to hit with the rice, as well as moistness and tenderness of the chicken without compromising flavor. I was a bit doubtful going into ginger & scallion. Usually they would do one well, and not the other, or they would just miss both by a smidge. Luckily this was not their case with the Singaporean Style Hainamese chicken. Great flavor in chicken, which was elevated even more with their sauce. The chicken rice stands well on its own, so you know that it's done right. we also tried the duck. It was good, but not as amazing as their Singaporean hainamese chicken. I'm glad I tried both, but will only stick with the chicken next time. Possibly try their Bah Ku teh. This south East Asian gravitates to flavor, and G&S has delivered it well. Service was quick, attentive, and friendly. I was a bit confused at first on what chicken to try, and they too agree that their Singaporean style was hands down the winner to pick. I'm glad I listened. Place is hole in the wall feeling, but clean. Everything you need. Parking is just a tad bit difficult, so we came during off peak, and was able to snag street parking easily. It's super dark outside tho, so be careful. Also no large signs, so you gotta follow that gps! But super glad that I found a winner winner, Singaporean style hainamese chicken dinner! read more

First time visiting Ginger & Scallion, and this restaurant has been on my list to try for a long time! I was super ecstatic to try their Khao Soi specifically, and it lives up to the good reviews! What I ordered: {Beef Braised Khao Soi}: - Flavor profile of the broth/curry was sooo nice and aromatic! The beef was also braised extremely well and it was so tender. All the ingredients complimented the dish very well and I have no complaints! Though I do wish that the portions were a little bigger. Would definitely return for this dish solely. {Sai Ua Curry Sausage}: - The dish was extremely underwhelming and the price for it was really steep. The dish comes with only one sausage link, purple cabbage, cilantro, and ginger. Sausage wasn't necessarily anything special. Would pass on it next time. {Thai Tea}: - The drink was unfortunately a let down. I love thai tea but this one was a little watered down and the thai tea flavor profile wasn't prominent. I'd recommend passing on this as well. Overall, the ambiance of the store is really cute and quaint! I went at opening so it wasn't difficult being seated but I can envision it being difficult to grab a seat during busy hours. Service could be improved on. We pretty much got our food and we weren't checked up on throughout our time dining. I'd consider returning for their Khao Soi however! Definitely worth the try. read more

I ate Hainanese chicken all the time growing up, so I was excited to see a restaurant that just focuses on this dish. The restaurant is no frills and laid back. The waitress seemed new though--gave off a nervous energy. The food though, looks like they just give you the best cut of the chicken. Growing up when I eat this dish, we got a lot of the chicken, but there's a ton of bones. At this place, in some ways, I appreciate that there were no bones and it was easy to eat, but also I felt like there was less meat. I felt the same about the duck dish. I really liked how there's a variety of sauces. They sadly didn't have a ginger scallion sauce in their collection, and that's a shame. read more

The restaurant is a very humble little restaurant around Phinney Ridge. Went here over the weekend to try out their Hainan chicken for the first time before they change up their menu. I feel like this is what put them on the map and became what they are known for. Went for the Singaporean style Hainan chicken which was fantastic and was complimented with their seasoned broken rice. I enjoyed it a lot. Also was able to try out their braised duck and rice which was just as good. Both were very solid entrees. Very unfortunate to see the Hainan chicken go, but looking forward to the new menu. Hard to top something like that in my opinion. To cleanse my palette, we had the cucumber and mustard greens that were fresh and pickled. Have to say that everything we ordered was enjoyable and did not disappoint. Service was very helpful with catering to customers and friendly enough to talk to about the menu changes. Very glad I got to try out the food before the menu change. Looking forward to what they will come up next. read more

Horrible restaurant. We made our order, it charged my call. Waited 20 minutes to no food. Only to be told that they "never got the order" well my card certainly got it. This place is a wreck. Not to mention filled with flies! read more

I've eaten here at least three times and have really enjoyed the food. I always order the Classic Chicken & Rice, but my friends have also enjoyed the Drunken Chicken. But honestly, I think we all come for the signature sauces, which most of them are made in house except for Sweet Soy (?). Whenever we eat, the entire sauce jars are emptied because they're that good, especially the iconic ginger scallion, which the restaurant is named after. Each chicken rice set comes with a light broth and chicken rice with the option of white or dark meat. The Thai Iced Tea is also a nice addition to your meal. But I would not order the Cucumber Salad again - it was mid & unnecessary when you have cucumbers included in your chicken rice set. This restaurant is located in the Ballard neighborhood with plenty of street parking. Ginger & Scallion is also small with limited seating, so keep that in mind when you plan to visit. read more

The customer service here was okay and the braised beef Khao soi noodles were delicious! You have to scan a QR code and order from your phone online which is a little annoying. The space is a bit small and prices are reasonable unless you want something more fancy. Overall, I'd come back here again and I recommend this restaurant if you're ever in Ballard. read more

I ordered the braised beef khao soi. The beef was very tender but the entire dish was very mediocre and was lacking in flavor. It tasted bland and definitely needed more salt. My partner got the lamb and didn't finish a lot of the meat as he said it was tough, dry, and gamey. The service was quick and attentive. Ambiance is a casual small cute mom and pop type shop. I really wanted to like this place but was disappointed in the food I love Secret Congee so I'll come back to give it another chance if they change their menu. read more

YES YES YES!! This is literally the best Thai food I've ever had and I love Thai! Honestly best restaurant in Seattle.

However they don't take cash unless you have exact change. read more

Classic Style Hainanese Chicken & Rice: The chicken was very tender and the rice was delicious! It tasted great with their ginger & scallion sauce. The broth was pretty good too, but it's a bit heavy on the pepper for me. They provide 4 different sauces for your meal. They were ginger & scallion, sweet soy, and 2 other sauces the waiter warned us were spicy. The interior of the restaurant had a rustic vibe and there didn't seem to be too many tables inside. The staff were attentive and nice. read more

Ginger & Scallion has now turned into an elevated khao soi bar. I ordered their seared duck khao soi and the duck was perfectly cooked. My husband ordered their beef tenderloin khao soi, the beef was cooked to medium rare and had a lot of flavor. My favorite component was the noodles. We enjoyed them so much, that we ordered a second serving of noodles each. Khao soi can be spicy, but theirs wasn't and had a lot of great umami flavor. We were lucky to meet the owner here and got to talk to them for a bit, they were very nice. I'd highly recommend coming here. read more

This place is seriously addicting. I usually get the bbq chicken. I find that I enjoy the additional flavor the spices add to the chicken and I enjoy the way that it is prepared more than the other chickens. But I think the highlight of the food at this restaurant is their chicken rice. The first time I had their chicken rice, I was delighted at how flavorful each bite was. Combined with their signature ginger scallion sauce, the rice could be a meal on its own. The richness of the rice and the warm broth makes it a really nice meal for a cold day. The only reason I don't come here more often is that the price does feel a little steep. But I will visit again when I feel like treating myself. read more

Super delicious and authentic Hainanese chicken rice and Teochew dishes. Seattle is missing out on wonderful Teochew dishes as most Chinese food are either Szechuan or Hunanese. Even Cantonese restaurants are getting rarer nowadays. The chicken rice is the best yet in the Seattle area. Super moist, soft, and fragrant. I would recommend the Singapore-style to the Classic. The duck was full of the fragrance of 5 spiced. The chicken skins (Mary's chips) are crispy and delicious. The Pandan Matcha Tiramisu could be a bit bolder with the pandan but still good dessert to close the meal. Service was friendly and attentive. The building feels old, and the table probably could be coated so it won't absorb liquid, making the impression of dirty. Otherwise, it was an awesome experience. read more

If you want authentic Khao Soi, there are probably other better places. However, if you love the flavor of Khao Soi but can't handle spice very well and want something a little bit lighter, I would highly recommend Ginger and Scallion! I loved the egg noodles that they use, and they have so many protein options! read more

Cozy vibe, friendly servers. Got the braised beef khao soi, was good flavors overall but much lighter than I'm used to. Noodles were also on the soggier/thinner side than thick and chewy. Portions were also quite small, but it really felt like a nice, warm homemade bowl. I'd come back again! read more

We have been wanting to try this place for awhile after it initially opened! We came for an early dinner (5:30pm) without a wait. Service was quick and our food came minutes after ordering along with an assortment of sauces (the house ginger and scallion sauce was our fav!). The classic chicken rice was juicy and tender, paired obviously really well with the ginger and scallion sauce. Some parts of the chicken were a little dry but the succulent skin made up for it. The five spice braised duck was cooked perfectly. The sauce from this dish over the rice was a great combo. Don't give me wrong, the food was yummy but had to take one star off for pricing! Even though portions were appropriate, we can't help feeling that for the price, we wanted to be more amazed. Food was homey and filling with chill ambiance! read more

Ginger & Scallion - Braised duck, classic chicken & rice - Thai Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I was so excited to try this place out when it popped up on my feed because my cousin and I love hainanese chicken as well as supporting fellow Asian American businesses, but truthfully we did not enjoy our meal. The representation was not seen when we went inside. There isn't a parking lot nearby, and the streets nearby were full so we had to drive up a bit into a neighborhood. Finding the restaurant was confusing at first because there's not sign on the storefront. It's a very small restaurant, so it was already pretty full and has super bright light. The noise level is average, not too loud but you can definitely hear those around you since you're so close together. Ordering is pretty simple because the host was our server and the menu is concise. Our food was dropped off quick, but the rest of the service was mediocre. cucumber salad: was not pickled as expected and lacked the rice vinegar flavor as a whole. I could see the sesame oil, but barely tasted it as it just tasted like raw cucumbers were cut and fresh placed atop. It was crunchy, but didn't taste properly prepped. classic chicken & rice: chicken resembled proper hainanese chicken and was juicy, but again is hard to mess up. The rice however was insanely salty and the soup if we can even call it that was plain. It actually tasted like water and was pale with a singular silver of green onion as garnish. five-spiced braised tofu: the fact that it was was served cold threw me so off and the tofu texture was also unexpected for me. It had an exterior that was dry and spongy, but the inside was still semi-firm. the sauce itself just tasted like star anise and soy sauce then was filled with a significant amount of gogi berries. thankfully the fluffy rice was apart of the meal and was hot though that was the only saving grace. Neither my cousin nor I liked our dish at all. We didn't finish the entrees and didn't want the left overs. There are complimentary sauce jars that come to the table and those made my meal edible. I liked the ginger and spice seasonings provided to elevate the profile of the entrees. Overall though I felt the prices were expensive for not only the portion, but simply because I didn't feel it tasted good enough. There was no fish sauce for my cousin to dip her chicken when asked either which is what we're used to. I wouldn't recommend this as a spot to return or say it's authentic. read more

Came to the soft opening and we had the duck & drunken chicken dishes and both were really solid choices. I would highly recommend the duck dish as it's heavy with five spice char flavor while being moist and succulent! The drunken chicken was a nice cold poached peppery dish which was good to contrast the duck dish. We wish both dishes came with the same flavored chicken rice but the duck comes with just plain rice. All the restaurant made sauces to dip/ spoon over the proteins were so good. My only gripe with the meal was that the soup was not good at all-- lacked chicken flavor and just tasted like peppery water. Service is kind of scrambled and figuring things out but overall nice people. We also shared the wings (not pictured) which was alright it's a drum and a wing in one but needs more salt and kind of small. Wanted to try the passionfruit pie but it was out so we got the matcha tiramisu which was bland so not recommended however the thai tea cake was great. read more

This was my first time trying khao soi and i was pleasantly surprised. I got the braised beef chuck roll and egg noodles in their signature Khao Soi curry broth. It comes with chopped pickled mustard greens, scallion and cilantro, fresh and fried shallot then topped with crispy egg noodles. They also give you a side of limes. The beef was so tender. I thought that the ratio of noodles to broth was perfect. I had some leftover broth. There was a lot of flavor in the broth itself and all the toppings went well together. Everything was tender and light -- so easy to digest. The only thing is that i felt like the egg noodles didn't absorb the broth as much as i was expecting. The first few bites just felt like egg noodles with a side of curry (if that makes sense...) but overall, I really enjoyed this meal. Although, I do wish there was an option to make it spicy. In terms of service, we were greeted when we walked in, chose our table and ordered by scanning a QR code. We got our lime wedges when we sat down as well. Once we ordered, it didn't take too long for our food to come out. Staff was attentive with our waters. Overall, it was a nice and cozy space. Good for hanging out and catching up with some friends, family or a date night. Would recommend someone to try this place at least once! read more

Delicious meal and very friendly service. Overall a great experience and we look forward to coming back.

We decided to visit Ginger & Scallion for a weekend lunch and dropped in just a couple of minutes after opening. I always appreciate seeing a place that only serves a single dish - this means they can really try to perfect it and serve the best possible version. The waiter asked us, and everyone coming in after us, if we were here for Khao Soi. Of course we were! But we did see a couple of people leave after they realized Ginger & Scallion no longer served Hainanese chicken rice. Ordering is done at each table via QR code. Since we were the first to order that day, we got our food pretty quickly. Within 10 minutes or so, we were digging in. Braised Beef Khao Soi ($15) - We sat at the bar so we could peer into the kitchen to see the magic happening. The noodles are boiled and portioned out with a scale to ensure the perfect ratio. They are placed in a bowl which is warmed in a giant rice cooker (from their chicken rice days?). The curry soup base is ladled in and then scoops of coconut milk, chili oil, and other seasonings are added. I believe the base is made simply with Thai yellow curry base with additional aromatics and umami elements added in to boost the flavor. Whatever the case, the liquids all mix up into a soup that's very well balanced between spicy, sweet, salty, and savory. The entire dish is served at a good eating temperature, instead of piping hot as with a lot of other noodle soup restaurants. The toppings include five or six pieces of beef - braised until perfectly tender. There are some fatty and tendinous parts that turn almost jelly-like after being braised for so long, yet the meat is not dried out or tough at all. Delicious. There's a good portion of egg noodles added in, still with a bit of a bite. Plenty of suancai, cilantro, fried shallots, and red onions boost the herbaceous qualities of the dish and also add texture. They finally add crunchy fried noodles on top, broken up into manageable pieces. The only negative - that portion size is kind of small. I felt full enough coming out, but could have eaten a bit more. (5/5) Lamb Leg Khao Soi ($19) - I think the only difference is the addition of braised lamb leg instead of beef. Similar to the beef, the lamb is very tender, but it's not fatty at all so there's not too much of the gaminess. Since the pieces are lean, dunking it into the broth after each nibble allows the meat to moisten a bit, since it's a little drier compared to the beef. After eating everything else, the broth left at the bottom of the dish tastes a bit spicier than the braised beef for some reason, and it has a bit of the lamb taste infused in. (5/5) While we didn't order them, we saw the chef preparing the beef tenderloin and the duck breast. They are stored in a sous vide container, then taken out, torched, and sliced to order. and taken out to be torched on a double layer of metal trays. The menu posted outside lists a lamb belly khao soi, which we were interested in order, but they don't have this dish yet. The waiter said they're still testing out the concept. Maybe next time?

Ambiance lively, many Asian families. Better brush up on your cellphone skills: QR code to view menu AND place order. (But why oh WHY print the ultra-complicated wifi password in teensy type??) A good Khao Soi would be a welcome addition to Seattle's Thai food. Alas, the gummy egg noodles proved inadequate to the task of enhancing the flavors of the lamb dish. Intriguing beer & wine list, though. read more

Pros: I love being able to scan the QR code to order and pay from my phone. This is awesome, and it really elevates the experience. Meats were really good, cooked well, and not a bad value. Noodles were a good texture. Cons: Bland khao soi (which was the only thing on the menu at lunchtime). Small seating area that feels a bit squished. Overall, I had an okay time at this restaurant. My biggest feedback - if khao soi is the only thing available on the menu (this may be different for dinner time), then it should be really good. Unfortunately, it was not really good. It was bland. Not horrible, but I won't be coming back. The noodles and meats were nice, I just wish it was complemented by better flavors in the khao soi. I was recommended this place on TikTok, and the created mentioned this was the best food she had in all of 2025. I should've known not to trust a TikTok review! No hate to this establishment, there are just definitely some areas that need to be improved. read more

On a whim I decided to try out Ginger and Scallion having heard good things about it. I learned when going in that they'd completely dropped the chicken and rice concept. I had planned on getting khao soi based on looking at yelp reviews so my plans didn't really change. I haven't had enough khao soi to determine what makes a great one. I ended up getting the seared duck khao soi because historically, I like duck. I will say that for a noodle soup, it's not particularly soupy. I enjoyed the soup but given the quantity, it ended up being something I was eating noodles and then taking sips of. The amount of soup given is something that seems still in the works. As I was leaving, someone at another table asked for more soup. I did glance at her bowl and it had even less than I had gotten. Overall I felt the seared duck version wasn't particularly worth the upcharge. The duck doesn't particularly stand out and the skin was difficult to bite through. Given the name, I expected the duck skin to be crispy so it was a bit of a surprise to me that it wasn't. Overall, I did enjoy it but that is my mild irk. I did find it interesting that part way through the meal the host mentioned desserts. I was interested in the thai tea flan but I had ordered via the QR code on the table and it wasn't on that menu. I didn't understand how that would work but was on a bit of a time crunch so ended up not trying it. Also I don't know why they would want to deal with a second credit card fee. The pivot to khao soi seems to be a bit sudden to anyone who doesn't follow them on socials. It's the first thing mentioned when I entered and while there, at least one group came in expecting chicken and rice. Hopefully the kinks will get ironed out soon. read more

This place is great. Flavorful hot soup with some great tasting meet. We ordered from the app and they brought it to our table. From what I hear, they sell out pretty quickly. Would love this next time I'm sick to clear out the sinuses. read more

I came for lunch with a friend and had a nice time, but don't think I'll be running back. We both ordered their classic chicken and rice with breast meat. The rice was 10/10 but I think the chicken was a little dry and broth a bit bland. I enjoyed the dipping sauces but unfortunately had to rely on them for flavor. I understand it's a simple dish, but think they need to nail execution if it's all they do, and they fell a bit short for me - especially for the price. read more

Delicious food and even better service!! The staff and owners of this restaurant are so incredibly friendly and welcoming. The space is very cozy and inviting, with constant customer traffic that adds to the lively ambience. I tried a variety of dishes, but I HAVE to spotlight the Thai tea tres leches which was arguably one of my favorite desserts in the Seattle area. As a baker myself, I am quite picky, but this dessert is quite commendable because it ticks my 3 personal boxes of criteria for a stellar dessert: 1) perfect level of sweetness 2) moist (soaked in the Thai tea helps makes this a no brainer) 3) unique! I'm Indian, and love concocting fusion desserts (funny enough, my Ramsalai tres leches is one of my top 3 most popular desserts). This tres leches balanced all the flavors and textures seamlessly. All in all, highly recommend a visit here if you want a taste of authentic Thai food & an incredible dessert! read more

Always have a good meal here! Ginger and scallion used to be a hainanese chicken shop that we've had great experiences eating in or taking out. They've recently switched concepts and are now a khao soi shop. You know when a restaurant focuses on one type of thing that they want to make certain they do it well. I believe their menu is still up for some changes at the moment but you can order from several meat protein options and one vegan/gf tofu option. Their broths are super tasty and rich combination of curry and coconut cream/milk and this is the first time I've tried a vegan khao soi broth! Definitely a comforting bowl of noodles for these cold months. read more

Overall a decent place- They specialize in Asian style chicken and duck. We tried the Drunken Chicken and Braised Duck. Both were flavorful and tender but a pretty small portion for $20+ dishes.

The desserts were good but also small portion for $6-9. read more

Came in around 2pm on a Saturday and was seated immediately. There is street parking available. I ordered the drunken chicken. The broth was honestly a miss for me. It was too peppery for me. The chicken itself was good. I personally likes the thai chili sauce the best out of the four options. The rice was super flavorful. Nothing amazing about the place, but a staple place for some chicken and rice if you're craving it. read more

I NEVER leave reviews but I thought this was worth leaving so people are aware. My boyfriend and I were so excited to try this restaurant because it's been trending so much. We got called that our table was ready after waiting at a local bar for 45 minutes. When we sat down, our table had no QR code which they say you can order through or call a staff member. I stopped a staff member letting them know we had no QR code and would like to order and they said someone would be on the way. We waited maybe 15 minutes, no one came, so my boyfriend got up to tell a different staff member that we had no QR code and would like to order. They again said "it's on the way". We sat there again for another 15ish minutes, no one came, so we left. We understand this is a new spot and it was quite busy, but least they could do is ensure their tables all have QR codes to order through so if they are unable to help customers personally, people can still order. read more

Good things: Very tasty and best Khao Soi I've had so far. Street parking is not a problem if you are early. Menu is now pretty limited to Khao Soi only. Could be improved: The goat Khao soi was tasty but needs more real goat meat. It was all just meat from goat bones which is minimum. I wish I had more of the goat meat. Have the duck option, at least there is no deboning needed. read more

Not sure if Ginger & Scallion is still in its soft opening phase, but I highly recommend it to satisfy your Hainanese chicken & rice craving! Start off with some apps - fried chicken skin, cucumber salad, and shishito peppers are the ones they had when I was there. I really enjoyed the fried chicken skins, and would like to see it as a main entree next time (maybe with rice - hint hint). With any Hainanese chicken & rice dish, you'll need the classic sauces and Ginger & Scallion does not disappoint. Try all 4 of their sauces. One of them I haven't seen before, but is fish sauce-based and I suspect has a hint of tamarind and/or palm sugar. For mains, we tried the classic, curry, BBQ, and drunken chicken. They all have their own character, and certain ones pair well with the sauces while others are better by themselves. Regardless, the chicken are all cooked and seasoned well. I'm a big fan of the drunken chicken! Rice needs a mention - it was fragrant and prepared with aromatics so you know it is legit! Also appreciated the balancing broth that came with a subtle white pepper flavor. Finally, we finished off with the matcha cheesecake. Tasted less dense and with more gelatin-like texture, but the matcha maintained its earthy flavor. Well done. I look forward to see more desserts next time *another hint hint* Thank you for having us, Boss! As Arnold's Terminator says, I'll be back.

Restaurant recently switched gears to exclusively serving Khao Soi--a heads up since there aren't obvious signs outside. Stopped by on a Saturday night and grabbed the Braised Beef and Lamb Kao Soi. Loved the beef version! The broth was flavorful and the beef was perfectly tender. Nothing felt too salty or forced. Lamb was tasty, just a touch on the chewy side. Portions felt just right, topped generously with crispy noodles, pickled greens, onion, and cilantro. The Thai iced tea was also not overly sweet. Ordering via QR code was easy, and service was friendly. Definitely a casual, laid-back spot worth checking out. Solid 4-star, I will be back again fro the beef Kao Soi! read more

Ginger & Scallion is an amazing place for chicken rice, brought to you by the team behind Secret Congee! This is some of the best chicken rice I've ever had. The chicken is tender and juicy, pairs great with any of their four sauces. My favorite chicken variations are probably the drunken chicken and Singaporean which are both served cold. I also appreciate the ability to pick between dark meat (the better meat) and white meat. Each chicken dish is served with an incredibly flavorful rice and a soothing broth. Their Thai tea tres leches was also pretty good, although not the strongest tea flavor. The place itself is relatively small. We came at around 11 am on a Sunday and it wasn't too busy. Only street parking available so it can potentially be tricky but we were able to find a spot right in front pretty easily. read more
