One of My New Favorite Lunch Spots! I really enjoyed my lunch at Ginger Bistro. Sometimes you find a restaurant that gives you exactly what you're looking for--really good food, generous portions, and prices that make you want to come back again. This was definitely one of those places. I had the Bento Box, and I was honestly impressed. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and there was a really nice variety of food. It's a great lunch when you want a little bit of everything without spending a fortune. The sushi was also excellent--fresh, tasty, and beautifully prepared. I kept telling myself, "Okay, this is the last piece," and somehow another one kept disappearing. What I really liked about Ginger Bistro is that it feels like a place you can come back to regularly. You don't need a special occasion--just come hungry, enjoy some great Japanese food, and leave happy. Great food, great lunch prices, and a really enjoyable experience. I'll definitely be back! read more

I have come back since my initial review and they have grown on me. Service is always kind, and attentive. Gyoza are good, sushi rolls specifically the sweet potato are my favorite. Always warm and taste fresh. The hot green tea is my go-to ans refills are endless, and the miso soup is the babys favorite. Inside is dim and relaxing. Pretty wallpaper. Music not overly loud. read more

My parent unit and I decided to try this place after hearing great reviews about their Bento boxes. We each ordered a Bento box lunch. My P.U. ordered the Salmon and I had the Steak Teriyaki, Awesome! Food was fresh and so good. The service was on it! The restaurant was freshly renovated with new table set-ups. I really enjoyed the tablet menu with the descriptions of the food and vivid pictures. Looking forward to ordering sushi next time. read more

This was my third time visiting Ginger Bistro, but my first visit on a weekend, and the food continues to impress! I had the Tonkotsu pork ramen, and my son had the Godzilla ramen. Pro tip: ask for the special house chili oil to dial in your perfect heat level--it's a game-changer! The ramen wasn't piping hot but was still absolutely delicious, with fresh ingredients throughout. I do wish they served the Bento box lunch special on the weekends, but everything else more than made up for it. The restaurant was clean, the servers were attentive, and I absolutely love the music--it adds to the great atmosphere. The pork in the Tonkotsu ramen was so good that I need to figure out how they prepare it! I'll definitely be back for more. read more

Food was 10/10. Service was ehh. Had two servers working this afternoon and the female was fine, she was great actually. But the male working was very off. He kept walking back and forth. And it really felt like he was bothering our table because the lady working definitely was handling things. The female server was with us first and went to get our drinks. Then the guy comes and asks us what we would like drink. Then she comes back and brings our drinks. We let her know we need a few more minutes to decide. Then he comes and takes our order. Once my boyfriend placed his order and he asked if his chicken fried rice came with veggies, this guy gives the biggest sigh. He looks at his ipad and after some time goes it comes with broccoli and Carrots. After that the guy stops talking. Food arrives. Everything is good! We have our baby with us and we make a spill, we clean it up the female server brings us napkins. The guy is still standing nearby pacing back and forth. At one point my boyfriend catches him staring at us and makes eye contact with him and the guy just looks away. The servers are taking plates as they usually do and filling drinks and we thank them both every time. The guy still says nothing every time he comes to the table. I wasnt done with a plate and voiced it to him. He placed it back. We're finishing up food. The check is brought by the guy still no words from him. Let me add- This was a party of 3. Obviously a couple with their baby. And their friend sitting across from them. So we ask the lady working to split the check please. She does. Great. Yay. We get our cards out. Im still actively feeding my baby some rice with the spoon in my hand and plate near me but not too close cause those baby hands are fast as everyone noticed when we had two spills on the table at this point. The guy takes my plate again when Im looking at my boyfriend. I look back and I say to the guy (cause he's standing right by our table pacing like he has been the entire time) I wasnt done with that. And he says this plate? & brings it back. I say yeah shes a slow eater sorry. Overall we left feeling upset and its unfortunate because the food was so delicious and the sake was amazing. We wont be going back anytime soon. Maybe this guy will be working elsewhere (if we ever do decide to go back in the far future) & wherever that could be I just hope he enjoys his place of work and it makes him smile. Would also like to add that we didnt stiff on the tip either. Both my friend and my boyfriend work in the restaurant industry so out of respect they still tip well. read more

Service was great. The special rolls were really so unique. I've never had them anywhere else. And they were really fresh. The menu had a great variety of dishes. Even some Chinese dishes. Great place! read more

Excited to try this place for the ramen! A few things, right when you walk it , it did smell heavily like a nail salon. Maybe because the nail salon is next door but the scent of it circulated the entire restaurant. Not sure if the air vents connect. Other wise, I order the Tokyo ramen and it was delicious. The flavor was amazing and the toppings were great! The only thing is you get 3 slices of meat, wish there was more although you can order extra. The soup is delicious, it did leave me thirsty as the sodium level of the soup was high. My husband ordered the sashimi combo and he said it tasted OK not the best quality fish. The inside seating is decent, lots of seating and booths and high chair for little ones. Service was quick and everyone was friendly. read more

We came here during an off-peak time for lunch and were warmly greeted by our server, Sophia. The restaurant recently updated their menu, replacing hibachi with Chinese options. The family decided to try a variety of things so we ordered kung pao chicken, ramen, and sushi. Everything was delicious, and the portions were generous. The sushi was my favorite - we ordered three rolls, and neither of them are heavy on rice but all packed with fresh fish. We especially loved the option to have sushi wrapped in soy paper instead of seaweed (Dorian Roll was my personal favorite)! The rolls were large yet light, great hot day lunch option. This was a great find in the area, and we'd recommend it to anyone craving sushi in St Augustine! read more

Must try chill, quality food in the Saint Augustine area. Tried the Tonkatsu Ramen and enjoyed it with the soft boiled egg. Bathrooms were clean, service with a smile.

Five stars for me, must try if you're craving some Japanese food read more

Ginger Bistro - Tonkatsu (pork) Ramen - Sushi Bars Near Me - St. Augustine, Florida

I have my share of sushi from Mainly the west coast. Ginger offers a pretty decent selection of sashimi and specialty rolls. I really like the lunch offers for a nice budget friendly category. They did had toro...although not the greatest but decent. I I thought the cut was a bit thin to get any of that delicate fatty flavor out. The ramen was pretty decent and great portion and broth was pretty flavorful and smooth. The baos were nice. I would prefer something colorful or pickled to incorporate some tartness with the chashu and fried soft shell crab. Overall customer service was attentive and fish was clean and fresh. read more

First visit here. After seeing all the five star reviews, we decided to give it a try. Our excellent waiter recommended we try the Toro and Salmon Belly. Both were beyond compare. I also had the Flagler roll that had Salmon,Crab and fried onions. Absolutely delicious! Our waiter was extremely attentive. Smaller, cozy restaurant was the perfect setting for an impromptu lunch. We will definitely return. read more

The best evening out in a long time. It was my husbands birthday and after checking all the options we chose the ginger bistro. It is just 10 minutes from us but we had not been there in a long time. The food was great! My husband rarely eats all of him but he finished every bite of teriyaki steak. It came with clear soup and a salad. I got Mongolian beef and it was great. I ordered wonton soup. The wontons were a little undercooked but no biggie. Service was fast and attentive. Loved music that was pleasant and we could converse while eating. I am so tired of loud environments. Would have appreciated more light as the dining room a was exceptionally dark! We will return often! read more

This is one of our go to sushi places. Service is always consistently good and prompt. The dining room was redone last year and it is spacious. The menu is on a tablet but the server takes your order. The sushi is fresh and delicious. I always get a sweet potato roll and this last one I had was the best yet. They have lunch specials where you can get miso soup or salad and either 2 rolls or 3 rolls. Definitely worth checking out! read more

My family and I were visiting the small town of St. Augustine and decided to come here for dinner. It was fairly busy on a Sunday night but we got a table of 6 within 5 minutes. I ordered a special roll (Ashley) and a California roll. The Ashley roll was sooo delicious! The inside had scallops and spicy crab and was topped with tuna! The California roll was standard but overall, I thought the ingredients were fresh. I took off one star because our food took a relatively long time to come out but we had a large order. read more

Great lunch! Healthy, tasty and quick! Ginger B has been on my wishlist for quite some time and today was the day. My friend and I wanted a take out lunch and this was perfect. A little more of a splurge than usual but the price seemed fair for the work that goes into the meal. We each had Bento boxes and dove right in before I could take any pics. Portions are not large, more like a little taste of this and that but it all adds up to a nice size lunch. The tiny salad in the bento box and the small miso soup on the side were a nice surprise. Will try Ginger B again for sure and do another review. I did snap a pic of the cucumber side salad. Overall, everything was fresh and put together with care, love that! read more

Ginger Bistro - Cucumber Salad - Sushi Bars Near Me - St. Augustine, Florida

We dined here after they completed renovations, and what a great job they did! The interior is modern and cozy with ample seating and warm lighting. What we enjoyed: -Sushi was on point, fresh and delicious. -Ramen was excellent. We had the Tonkatsu with sliced pork and the Godzilla with shredded beef. The meats were tender and tasty. The broth was excellent. Be warned--the Godzilla is SPICY. They are not playing around! I loved it but so many other places claim spicy dishes that are not truly hot that you need to be prepared. This is the real deal. -Krab Rangoons were hot and crispy and the filling we plentiful and delicious. -Service was excellent. Tea cups and water were kept filled. -Scallop and Filet Hibachi was delicious with a nice portion of both proteins and a perfect side serving of fried rice. What we didn't enjoy: Absolutely nothing! Everything was great. Overall, it was a great experience and we will definitely return. read more

Ginger Bistro - Miso Pork Ramen with extra bamboo. - Sushi Bars Near Me - St. Augustine, Florida

This is a locals favorite. Bugatti drivers to those working the trades can be found here. Expect warm friendly service at the table or the sushi bar. Diverse asian menu with focus on Sushi/Sashimi and Noodles. Always ask about specials and the fresh fish. I alternate between both. Having traveled in Japan for work, I have a working knowledge of the menu items. To me Ginger Bistro is equal or better in taste, quality, and service. If unsure what to order, ask. The staff and owners love to share ideas for you! Beach casual attire works here, though expect the dining room to be cool. Just right for hot humid days. Good for a light and breezy date night or an afternoon with kiddos learning to use chopsticks! read more

The food was absolutely amazing. I visited Japan about a year ago and the food served reminded me a lot of it; the ramen captures that special flavor that you only find in Japanese restaurants, the sushi is amazing as well, and the place is very cozy and nicely decorated to give you the Japanese spirit. Definitely recommend it. read more

Their edamame, krab rangoons, sushi (especially the dynamite roll!), ramen (We got the Mi Sohot Ramen with Pork Chashu and Beef Shoyu), and dessert (We got the green tea mochi ice cream) were excellent! We're definitely coming back here! Plus the customer service was phenomenal!!! We're really big ramen fans and this place definitely lived up to our expectations! One thing that would make it even better is a non-pork spicy ramen option!!! Still, our server was excellent in getting my partner additional items to increase the spiciness of her dish. read more
