Dim Sum Sampler
Derell A.

Normally come here about once a year and I'm always very satisfied. This time we were able to get some of the dim sum, some seafood soup, fried rice and beef/broccoli. The food was very delicious and the portions are even better! The fried rice stood out as we got the combination and can completely eat that solo. Overall they have a great menu that everyone can find something they'll like! Recommend this place as they did a great job and service was on point! Will be back soon!

Good place to stop and eat when shopping at Gilroy outlets. The place is very spacious and clean. I got the lunch special fried tofu with egg fried rice and dinner mango chicken. The fried tofu had some sauce and was really good. The mango chicken was a bit too sweet but still good. The service was very good. I would come back again.

Won Wonton Noodle Soup

1st time trying this place. Very friendly staff, welcoming, and nice! Did not wait long. Food was delicious, flavorful, and good portion!! Definitely will return!! For being an early Saturday morning, it did seem busy!! But did not affect service time!!

Chicken Pad Thai
Zyra Xanthea C.

Unfortunately, their pad Thai isn't it. I know they are a Chinese restaurant, but if it's in their menu, you assume they would know how to make it. This lack so much flavor. I was like eating wet noodles without flavor.

Arnold Palmer with fresh squeezed lemonade!!!

First time going there even when I lived in Gilroy for 3 years I never went. We went for a late lunch and still made it on time for the lunch Specials. We were very happy with the 2 lunch specials we ordered. They fried rice was a little on the simple side but still good. The beef was super hot and I absolutely loved it! The chicken and green beans were the star of our 3 dishes, the beans were tender and still had a light crunch to them. The chicken was flavorful, hot and juicy. The 1 thing I was a little disappointed in was the candied prawns. They were cooked perfectly with a lite and yet still crisp exterior given that they were tossed in the creamy sauce. The down fall to this tho was the sauce.....its was very very mayo forward and not to much sweetness to it at all. The service was really good and the restaurant was very clean and nice. Ooooooo and I almost forgot!!!! I ORDERED AN ARNOLD PALMER THAT WAS THE BEST IVE EVER HAD HANDS DOWN!

Crispy Tofu in Mandarin Sauce
Mypang T.

It was surprisingly good located at the Gilroy Outlets. We were hungry and wanted a nice last meal before driving home. Dim sum offered all day, menu is limited. It was more primarily dumplings and baos. Veggie dumplings: 4/5. It was hot, fresh and crispy. Pork shumai: 4/5 Vegetable Shanghai noodles: 3/5 - the noodles were too soft for my palate. Wished there was more vegetables. Flavor was lacking. Bf enjoyed it. He says 4/5 and I felt 2.5/5 so it gets a 3/5 overall. Mandarin Tofu: 4/5. We asked for extra spicy, it was okay. Flavorful, sweet, salty, it was really good. We both enjoyed it. We both wished there was more jalapeños and peppers in it, but still good. Server: 5/5. She was friendly and gave some awesome recommendations. Thank you!!!

Egg-tofu
Sin-Yaw W.

I was pleasantly surprised. I expect bad imitated Chinese foods that vaguely taste Asian. Given this is a touristy shopping center in a town not known for vast Chinese population. There was not one single serving staff that look like Chinese. Well well well. Not bad. Not bad at all. Don't get me wrong, it's not your authentic whatever-region Chinese cuisine. But they are quite edible. The place is clean and well decorated.

Her garlic noodles
Julie C.

My daughter and I were headed on a long Friday night road trip through traffic so we were due for dinner. We hit up the Gilroy outlets at least once a year and we usually hit up a sandwich spot. I wanted a fuller sit down meal so we turned to Yelp. I was pleasantly surprised to find this well-reviewed place near the outlets. From outside, it's non descript but once you enter, it was a chic ambiance with soft music playing. My daughter chose the crispy shrimp garlic noodles while I selected the pineapple friend rice. So much good food! Our server made sure we had lots of water refills and asked how we liked our food. This will be our go-to when we're in the area.

Curry chicken
Miranda O.

I drove up from Southern California and was feeling a little hungry, so I stopped at the Ginger Cafe for a light meal. The restaurant has good food, I've been here to eat many times over the years, it's near the Gilroy outlets, by the ATT store, and somewhat near the Reebok store, but a stone's throw away. You can come here for much or dinner, the food is very tasty. The wait staff were very nice, there is lots of parking. Try this restaurant out, the food will not disappoint, and the Thai-themed decor is tastefully done.

Crispy Tofu in Mandarin Sauce
Alex R.

* I have been going to Ginger Cafe for almost a decade now (since 2016) and have honestly ordered the same 2-3 dishes (pretty much always get the crispy tofu in mandarin sauce). It never disappoints to satisfy my craving and I always find myself coming back. * The staff is always respectful and kind - they even know my order every time I go in! This truly entices customers to go more often when they feel appreciated. * The ambiance/atmosphere is nice, classy, and clean. * Vegan/Vegetarian options are available. * The prices have gone up quite a bit in the years that I have been to Ginger Cafe and there is some variation in the meals prepared at times. However, they are consistent most of the time. Overall, I will always rate 5 stars because of the sentimental value despite any flaws I've encountered over the years :)

Does the Mu Shu have chicken or is it vegetarian (i.e. no chicken)? The name on the menu is confusing. Thanks.

The vegetarian chicken mu shu content no real meat, the vegetarian chicken is made of soy protein.
