Big menu with tons of options. The food was fresh and hot and came out fast. The whole experience was really great.

This Asian restaurant is located in a strip mall section of Fort Myers,FL! We walked in and the waitress seated us quickly! We ordered Dim Sum and couple of noodle dishes. Coming from Boston and looking for a good Dim Sum place close to Bonita Springs. The food was good and hot! We thought the Beef Chow Foon was a little bit oily but the taste was good. Dim sum was very good! Place was a bit dark and ambiance was okay! Price was $$ Would try again! read more

The Fort Myers location is far more superior than the Cape Coral location. Service was good. The food is always amazing. Plenty of parking at this location as well. Probably the best Chinese in town. read more

Ginger Bistro - Barbeque Near Me - Fort Myers, Florida

This restaurant is tucked into an unassuming strip mall. Although it may not look like much from the outside, it exceeds expectations. We always come here within the area. The honey walnut shrimp is among the best I have ever had. And the Mongolian beef is a winner as well. We always ask for the same server, Corinne, who is very sweet and attentive. 5 stars read more

Overall, Mediocre food taste. Lo MeIn had no flavor and even less protein; very gummy. Chicken Cashew was average; chicken should have been sliced. Egg drop soup was made with beef broth? Very wrong. read more

Really enjoyed dining here for lunch on a Friday afternoon. Restaurant wasn't very busy so we were seated very quickly. I was pleased to note that the staff was quick to move seats around to accommodate a stroller. The restaurant is very clean and the staff is friendly. There aren't many dim sum spots in the area so we are excited that we enjoyed our meals here. In addition to dim sum they have a full Chinese menu. I ordered the crispy roast pork and crispy duck, both did not disappoint read more

Good food. Great selection. I celebrated my birthday with friends using a discount gift certificate purchased at Costco.

Today Dave and I wanted dim sum. So we went to Ginger Bistro in Ft. Myers. It's located in the mall where Burlington Factory is. The outside of the strip mall looks sort of run down, but Ginger Bistro is the exception. The inside is warm and inviting and it has two dining rooms. Some tables have lazy Susan's for sharing. We were seated at the front of the room where you come in. We perused the menus and decided on regular dishes instead. Dave got the Clay pot Chicken Curry. It was loaded with veggies and chicken in a hearty sauce. I had the Chicken Sweet and Sour Soup which had veggies, tofu and chicken. It was Yummy. My main dish was an Eggplant with Garlic Sauce and I asked for no extra salt to be added. It was delicious. We both had iced teas and our server gave us fresh tea in to go cups to take with us. We hope to return again and try the dim sum! So many people were ordering them. read more

I've been going here since this place opened. The last 3 times I have ordered to go, the guy who answers the phone has messed up my order. I recognize his voice and he claims to be the manager. All 3 times he says it is me. I even had him repeat my order and still messes it up. read more

We've been wanting to try Ginger Bistro for a while for dim sum and we're excited to finally be able to make it in time(dim sum is served between 11-3). The inside of the restaurant was surprisingly very nice compared to the plaza that it is. The staff was Greta about answering any questions we had. We had some dietary restrictions and they marked what items on the dim sum menu were safe to eat. We ordered the dim sum platter, which was a great way to try different ones. It came with 2 pieces of 4 types. We also ordered some additional dim sum to try. The favorite hands down was the seafood pancake. We would come back for that alone! If you aren't interested in dim sum, they still have a very large menu to choose from, including lunch specials. read more

The calamari was excellent. The best I've had in a long time. I ordered the walnut shrimp, the vanilla sauce was underwhelming, however, the shrimp itself was great. The restaurant was very clean, and so were the restrooms. The service was great as well. read more

Great food. Clean restaurant and the waitstaff is very good and friendly. They work great together! Love your food!!

Can't believe I've never been here! Decided to get something yummy after a day of thrift shopping. It was a great decision. Our server Gene was kind and attentive. The food was outstanding. The dim sum sampler was a great starter. We also got the BBQ sampler with duck and port belly. Both were fantastic. The duck has a delightful crispy skin and so much flavor. We also ordered the coconut curry clay pot that had an awesome kick to it. Definitely cannot wait to go back. read more

By far the best Chinese sit down restaurant in Ft. Myers. Dim Sum can be ordered through the server. They don't have the carts. My favorite is Sticky Rice in Lotus Leaf. They're larger portions than the ones served at another restaurant. Flavor is delish. The rice is sweet, so I add some soy sauce to balance. Another favorite is the stuffed eggplant with shrimp. The eggplant is very tender and the shrimp is appropriately seasoned. My thumb is aching so I'm stopping here. Their other menu items take me back to Mott Street. Portions are abundant so take home what you can't finish. The flavors bond for special later day/night snack. Hope you enjoy as much as we do on every visit! Only 4 stars because no restaurant is perfect. 5 stars on the food! read more

This is hands-down, the best Chinese food place in the area. There is nothing we have found on the menu that we don't like! Service is great and you can always get in. read more

Great food, very nice service. Good egg rolls, fantastic shrimp & walnuts. ALWAYS GOOD. read more

Ginger bistro was one of my grandmas go to's for family gatherings! We always loved ordering all different kinds of food and they all tasted amazing! The staff was always very kind and accumulating for our usually big group. I would always recommend for someone looking for a good asian restaurant in the South West Florida area! read more

Surprised to enter such a beautiful interior when the plaza looked pretty run down. It was hard to find parking here on a Saturday lunch hour. Once we went inside, we were seated and were impressed with the menu. As someone who is Chinese, the dishes were very authentic. We ordered a variety of dimsum items with the paper menu and pencil they provided. We tried out their egg tarts, shrimp rice paste, chicken feet, shrimp dumpling, pan fried buns, and some other items. We also ordered the BBQ Combination where you choose 2 items. We wanted to try their honey glazed roast pork and duck. The BBQ was really good! Their pork slices are sliced pretty thick but still able to eat it with one bite. Their duck was good but could use a crispier skin. We thought some of the dimsum items were really large in size and it was a bang for your buck compared to other places we have been. Service wasn't the best but it was decent. She was one of those waitresses who wasn't sweet or smiled. She did get us all that we needed though. I would highly recommend this place to all Chinese food lovers. read more

The BBQ used to be good, I mean SWFL not much selection. Got the whole Roast duck, it had no flavors at all. I'm used to full robust flavor, very disappointed. It was better when duck was cheaper. Food used to be better when there was only one location. read more

Everything from the Service, to the Food is excellent!!! Highly Recommend!! Kevin enjoyed the Vegetarian stir fry! read more

The food/sauces are to die for.. The service not so good, they are always do everything in a rushy rude way but nothing to do with the food. The ambiance is always nice and they have a very clean place. read more

Food was good service was a little slow but they were extremely busy. Would go again.

I simply don't know why this is not rated 5 stars. I'm from NY/NJ and go to many Asian restaurants in Edison NJ. Ginger Bistro is so much better. The Dim Sum is to die for. The Hot and Sour Soup is simply the best. 5 people today for lunch, had 12 dim sum plates, seafood pan fried noodles and clams in black bean sauce. The sauces are simply simply simply the best. Every time we come to SWF, visiting Ginger Bistro is a must. This is not your typical American Chinese restaurant. read more

Very disappointing. Never ever ordered Chinese food that does not come with rice. We ordered for 2 and only received 1. I actually even ordered extra for Jasmin rice, which was not in the order. Tasted like reheated food. Mushy. Chicken rubbery. The worst for me was the fact that peppers are not listed as an ingredient in my dish. I hate peppers AMD they permeate the flavor of the entire order. Egg Roll greasy. No packets of soy, etc. either. read more

Came here for dim sum only to find out they don't have that at dinner aside from a dim sum platter (super bummed tbh). Then we wanted to order an app and the waitress just walks off and leaves my step-dad talking to himself. Overall, wasn't the greatest experience. read more

Absolutely excellent dim sum and very tasty hot & sour soup! We prefer the Fort Myers location for food quality and flavors. Service is always spot on and it's got a modern eastern vibe. read more

The food and service is great. You will enjoy yourself there. Very clean, even the restrooms spotless. You won't be disappointed.

So disappointed ! Being seasonal I looked so forward to their chicken fried rice because they always made it with fried chicken . Ordered it tonight and they have now gone to regular chicken like everybody else . Why would you ruin a good thing and change your recipe ? Ugh well there goes another family favorite down the drain read more

Ginger Bistro feels like taking a trip to New York's Chinatown without the long flight. The Peking duck hangs in the window calling your name, and the pork belly is perfectly crispy. Every dish that hit the table was outstanding. The bao buns are soft and packed with flavor, and the soup dumplings are a must-have -- rich, hot, and addictive. Don't skip the veggies either: the bok choy and Chinese broccoli are cooked perfectly. Authentic, vibrant, and absolutely worth it. read more

The food was good, no issues there. This is one of the few places for good chinese food. I stack plates so servers can easily clear tables. It allows for a more enjoyable dining experience. We were the only dinner table at the restaurant. At the point of my photo, the server was looking at the table and walked past us twice. She came to ask if everything was OK? She left, then returned to see if we needed a to go container, left, delivered it, then left again, never taking plates. Returned and asked if we wanted anything else? Left, returned with the check. Came back for credit card payment. Delivered, then picked up the bill after signing and never picked up the stacked plates. How many opportunities did she get for a better review? read more

Ginger Bistro - This is a big pet-peeve of mine. - Barbeque Near Me - Fort Myers, Florida

Very Rude ! Unfortunately we came to dinner and had Annie as a server. We were brought a dish we didn't order. We told the food runner that we did not order that. Annie marched over and insisted we did, took the plate, rolled her eyes, and walked away. Annie began talking in another language to the server and kept looking at as. We were the only two in the restaurant. We asked for extra napkins when the runner dropped off the food.. he never returned. Annie made us uncomfortable the entire dinner. My plates stacked in front of me to never have been taken away. She put the check on the table and when the card was finally inside she took it.. leaving the plates behind of course. My water was never offered to be refilled. Nobody came to check if everything came out ok. Safe to say I couldn't get out of there faster. I will not be back. On top of that the food was awful. read more

I am a lover of good dim sum, and when I found one in Florida, I had to try it. We had a short wait, and it was nice to see this so busy considering it's not in a specific "Chinatown" type area. We ordered a lot of different items. It was hit or miss, but mostly miss for me. The scallion pancake had a weird texture. I've had a lot of pancakes, and this one just felt sticky. The short ribs were a bit greasy and didn't taste as good as I had hoped. The same with the shu mai. One thing I did like was the custard buns. They had just the right amount of sweet and soft. I don't think I'd go again for dim sum, but it was a nice stop. read more

Went here for dinner. The place is roomy. There's a second room with some large tables for bigger parties. The first thing I noticed is that they don't have formal menus. They give you takeout menus to order from. Weird. The second thing is everything is a-la-carte. They didn't have Combination platters. We all started with Egg Rolls. They were very good. I ordered the BBQ Combo (pick 2). Tip: Don't order BBQ from a Chinese restaurant. Stick with what they're good at (Chinese food). I got Spare Ribs and Roast Duck. All cut into very small pieces. Very boney. Way too much work for so little meat. My wife got the Cashew Chicken with White rice. She enjoyed it very much. Our friend got the Mongolian Beef with white rice. She too enjoyed her meal. I guess I am the odd man out. We plan to come back as we saw that they had Peking Duck. We are big Peking duck fans. Maybe I'll upgrade my rating after that visit. Stay tuned. read more

I love ginger bistro! Hong Kong style food is so good. Dim sum menu is so cool, the Peking duck, the pork belly with the crispiest skin. Roti Canai, omg their Mongolian beef! When you get there immediately order a bowl of their shrimp wonton soup. Keep it up Ginger Bistro! read more

Overall not bad, 3.5 Star. We came in for dinner one night during our trip based on the good reviews. The place is clean, feel spacious with high ceiling and comfortable seatings. It was quiet on a Wednesday night and our server was friendly. We ordered the Clam With Basil Sauce, Sizzling Short Ribs With Black Pepper Sauce and Yang Chow Fried Rice. Both dishes were flavorful but the fried rice was a bit bland. read more

Ginger Bistro has been a round for a bit now. I don't even think I was writing reviews the first time we went. I can tell you though, that the first time we went, it was awful. But, they had just started and they only had an idea of what they wanted to be as a restaurant. After overhearing that the owners changed (a bit ago) we decided to come back and try their food, at the behest of a friend of course. So we did. Dim Sum! A dish that originated in the Cantonese culture in China has finally made its way here and in a perfect state. These dumplings actually have 1,000 different types and after coming here, I wish I could try them all. Soup dumplings to steam buns, wheat dumplings to rice noodle rolls. No Ginger Bistro doesn't carry them all but who would? Instead, their selection is a 'top favorites' type list and I suggest you try them all. (Not all at once though) The entree Really good! They had some issues because I wanted duck but they didn't have it. They said we could wait 45 minutes BUT it wasn't worth it. So we got orange chicken and sweet and sour chicken. My wife got a steaming plate of short ribs and we loved our meals. The cons Single serve drinks. I mean, a can of sprite? Keeping costs low, I get it. If I want a refill, then I'll have to buy another one but fountain drinks have been around since forever so switch please! No duck. Though I was looking forward to it, it wasn't a big deal. Maybe next time. But I know why your here, it's not to read this review, but to look at the pictures, haha. So here you go. read more

Got takeout on 9/20. General Tao's chicken, shrimp and veggies, fried rice and pork eggrolls. I have always recommended this place but not after tonight. The fried rice was not great. It had what I think they pass off as egg but it was orange and undefinable. The Gen. Tao's Chicken looked watered down and was absent of any spice. It also looked like it may have been frozen and the sauce was gel-like. The Shrimp and Vegetables were not bad. I'll give them another chance because this is the first time it was this bad. Still, I felt the review is warranted. Such a shame... read more
