My clients brought me here for dinner. The food and service was good. Will come back again with the wife.

We frequent Ginger café twice a week.( for many many years) Never had a complaint until today. The radio was in full volume, not music just talk We asked Sara, the server to lower the volume and she refused. We left. We are very disappointed and won't come again unless the issue is taken care of. Your customers Edna and husband. read more

The food was disappointing twice. My son said no to eating anything else for dinner after he tried the fried rice & kung pao. The chili chicken from the last time was bad too. read more

Love this place, it's consistently delicious and always hits the spot. The mushu chicken wraps are a favorite of mine, super flavorful and fun to eat. The fried rice is also top notch, perfect texture and packed with flavor. We've cycled through a bunch of the entrees over time and honestly, they've all been solid. But no matter what, we always have to get the Mongolian beef. It's a must; tender, savory, and just the right amount of heat. Service is always quick and friendly and the place is really clean inside, which I really appreciate. Definitely recommend if you're looking for tasty Chinese food with great service. read more

Beautiful interior and ambiance. First class customer service. Come here if you want to feel special. The pandemic is over. Enough Door Dash and eating at home cold food by yourself. Invite your friends and have a dinner date here. Soaring ceilings and intricate decor create an impression of spaciousness and grandeur. I immediately felt as though I was at a mini version of the old Elephant Bar of yesteryear. We sat at this lovely round booth - best seat in the house - or at least it felt that way. Lots of natural light from windows and a familiar friendly server. We ate family style and ordered one of everything. Chicken, noodles, eggplant - you name it. Although it was all so fresh and tasty we couldn't eat it all. The server carefully packed it all to go for us. Again, first class treatment. If your in the area give it a whirl. It appears to be a one of a kind family owned restaurant that is doing everything right. read more

My best friend and I were in the area to watch a movie and we were craving Chinese food, we searched through Yelp and found this restaurant and I'm so glad we did! The interior is so sophisticated yet casual, perfect for family style dinner or even a date night! Super cute inside. The waitstaff were so attentive and kind! I don't think there was a moment my water cup was empty! I tend to drink a lot of water when I'm at restaurants so it was nice not having to ask for water or wait around. The menu was very easy to read and had a lot of great options to choose from! We ordered the OX fried rice, the dumpling sampler platter that's perfect for sharing as each dumpling comes in a set of 2! We also ordered the green beans with chicken and their sizzling rice soup. Everything was delicious, the service was great and we left completely satisfied! So satisfied that my friend ended up going the next day with her significant other. I'd definitely recommend this restaurant and will be retuning soon! read more

THE MOST DISGUSTING CHINESE FOOD I have ever tasted! First off, their taro shrimp cakes stated there was pork for the single order, and the bulk order stated only shrimp, taro, and scallions... I called before placing an uber order for the item. The person who picked up said it was a mistake and to call back tomorrow. I placed my uber eats order for: Mongolian beef (way too spicy and meh meat), sizzling rice soup (which I never received the soup/broth for and a foul smell coming from the seafood solids that did arrive), taro pancakes (which were mushy yet burnt and tasted nothing like a seafood pancake), crab Rangoon (yet another extremely pungent smell with what appeared to be ravioli that was deep fried to look like a wonton wrapped), and shrimp dumpling (with an extremely thick dough and rubbery shrimp). Gross! Do not go here! read more

I've been eating lunch at this small place near my home for some time. Always one server, always the same guy. With only one exception (the crispy-skin chicken didn't quite make it), the food has always been delicious. I would give special note to the caramelized garlic prawns, an unusual dish that's really good, tasty and crunchy. You can't get this elsewhere, unlike, say, Mongolian beef or kung pao chicken, but those are also really good here. Come cold season, I tried a bowl of wor won ton soup, more veggies than meat but lots of both, tiny little soft won tons, and they offered to cut up the bok choy which I really appreciated. Also pretty good. read more

Ginger cafe is a pretty cool restaurant that offers a cool combo of Chinese/fusion food and...dim sum! If you are looking for this sort of combo, Ginger Cafe is the place for you! Food is decent, not super pricey, I would come back. read more

I ordered delivery of Sweet & Sour Pork, which wasn't tasty. Not enough sauce. Wontop Soup not bad. But probably won't order food from this restaurant again, waste of money. read more

Chilean sea bass!!! Amazing! As well as all their seafood honestly! Everything I tried was fantastic

Great ambiance, very quick service. We ordered 2 lunch specials. Chicken chow mein and Basil Chicken. Basil chicken came with a choice of white rice or egg fried rice. Chicken tasted great, flavorful with plenty vegetables, but the egg fried rice was a lil bland and dry. Chicken chow mein was very well done, chow mein had right texture. read more

My wife's favorite restaurant, and we go out to dinner a lot. When we lived in Sunnyvale we would go 3 or 4 times a month. Now that we're in San Jose, we go once a month to meet with our former neighbors and have a great meal read more

The food here is pretty disappointing and definitely not authentic. I should have known when I walked in and didn't see any other Asian people that I would be disappointed in the taste. There were a few other occupied tables, but it was only about 1/3 full around 1230 on a Wednesday. The restaurant space itself looks nice, with high ceilings I ordered a wonton noodle soup, and when I asked the server if the regular wonton soup without noodles had more wontons, I was told it has pork. Hmmm, that doesn't make any sense. My noodles were generous in portion size, but they used premade ramen noodles that were over cooked and very mushy. It was also piled with chopped up barbecue pork and also came with a few stalks of bok choy and chopped up mushrooms. The strangest thing about my meal was that my soup was sweet! The wontons were also on the sweet side but otherwise tasteless. None of this tasted very authentic or delicious and felt like a rip off for $15 before tip and tax. The only reason I'm not giving them one star is because the server was very attentive and came by to check on us very often. read more

Ginger cafe is a neighborhood family favorite! Any time I'm visiting my grandparents and we want dim sum, we head over to Ginger Cafe! We have eaten nearly every dumpling on the menu and we have tried many of the entrees as well. Everything we have tried is tasty and of great quality. The service is always quick and friendly too, which is quite a bonus! If you're looking for an Asian restaurant with excellent dim sum, Ginger Cafe is your spot! read more

Easy to find and easy to park here. I'm very familiar with the location in Gilroy so I was excited to try this location too. The menu looks the same. I got the crab cake appetizer which was kinda mediocre like a regular crab cake in a won ton wrapper - not really very crab tasting. The squid ink lobster dumplings were really good. Also they had lunch specials so I got my favorite shrimp dish as a lunch special and it was a good portion of food for one. I did the upcharge $1.50 to add a salad and it was a pretty generic salad and covered with fried bits so I'd probably pass on that. The soup they serve it with was decent. read more

We utilized Ginger Cafe's catering services and beverages package for our wedding on 1/6/2024. Their food was so delicious that everyone who attended still talks about it today. Not only was their food delicious but their service was top notch. The servers would approach us (the bride and groom) during cocktail hour to make sure we had the chance to eat the appetizers. We were served first during dinner to make sure we had enough time to eat before getting busy with everything else. They made sure that we were well fed throughout the night. (The photos in this review do not include all 10 dishes and 3 appetizers that were offered but trust that they were all delicious!) Not only was service great on the night of, but communication was great leading up to the event. Bo went above and beyond when there was miscommunication with the venue about whether they could cook on site or not. We are so grateful for that because we wouldn't have known what to do otherwise. Overall, we would highly recommend Ginger Cafe to our friends for their catering services alone. We will definitely stop by the restaurant every now and then to try out the rest of their food! read more

The vibe is fabulous Chinese cuisine restaurant in Sunnyvale. The decor is modernized. Love the circular seating architecture in the middle as well as the traditional seating at theentrance waiting area. Ben warmly greeted me on the phone. Needed dishes for takeout. Promised my guests fabulous Peking Duck. Ginger Cafe makes fabulous Peking Duck. It's a reproducible culinary phenomenon. Had to impress the women. Shhh. (French accent) Ze duck was splendid! Isn't that right ladies? Needed a Beef dish. ('Cuz it should be what's for dinner.) He recommended the Beef w/ Potatoes. Went with it. It was flavorful! A touch of pepper. Hearty. But don't tell anyone. I slipped in some Drunken A5. The dish turned celestial. And the ladies agreed! They sang out like angels! The Dim Sum Sampler was also delish! Eye catching & yummy! Love Ginger Cafe! Thanks, Ben! Would order everything again! Woohoo! read more

The food is very disappointing -- as bad as it can get. The Shrimp dumpling skin broke when I picked it up. I'd call it "fake Chinese Food".

They catered my wedding at SF City Hall and I still dream of every dish. I cannot recommend them enough for their professionalism, quality of food, and service. We were looking for a family style, multicourse Asian cuisine for our wedding with 200 guests and it was challenging without hosting at a restaurant. Ginger Cafe was the answer I didn't even know I needed. We set up a tasting and brought our family. They made every dish for us to try and even when we wanted to sample different dishes from their preset menu, they were kind enough to make the dish and mix and match our menu. Day of wedding reception was flawless. I had no qualms and they executed perfectly. Everyone raved about our food, no one left hungry after 7+ courses and it was a party! Food came out hot and the guests were impressed. I highly recommend the sea bass, lamb lollipops, and their pig buns; everything was amazing but these were my personal favorites. While we didn't serve dim sum at our wedding, they let us try it at the restaurant and it was delicious (and cute) too! The price for wedding catering was very reasonable. No one comes close to the quality and amount of food Ginger Cafe provided and believe me, I checked all over the Bay Area. So happy we weren't stuck with the single typical vegetable, meat and carb dish for our wedding meal (we had crab soup, shaken filet mignon beef, Chilean sea bass, and even tuna tartare for cocktail hour. ) If you're looking for a wonderful catering company, this is it... especially if you are all about the Asian banquet style. And what's an Asian banquet without bar service? ... yep, they offer bar service with their catering too. Literally cannot go wrong working with Ginger Cafe. read more

Not sure what happened to this place but it has really gone downhill as far as food quality. I had my usual orange chicken last night and it was absolutely terrible - dry, chewy, over-cooked. The last three visits for take out have progressively gotten worse over time. read more

I may have finally found a good Chinese restaurant in this area! They velvet their meats so they're melt in your mouth tender, and they are generous with the portions and the flavors. The Kung Pao chicken and Mongolian beef were delicious! Minus one star for charging for tea, $8 bowl of rice, calculating tip on the post tax amount, and for not having a fortune cookie or fruit at the end of the meal. They also have an assortment of Dim sum and lunch specials every day until 3pm. Will definitely be going back! read more

Horrible food quality. Do not order food here within the first hour when they first open. They will serve you old food. They gave me chicken that was dry and hard. Not fresh at all. They also gave me burnt rice which was probably very old too. Very upsetting. read more

I ordered pineapple fried rice, and it was spicy! Although the taste was not authentic, it was delicious.

Wow, what a surprising find! Actually, it was my wife's discovery. Who would have known that a restaurant with a nice decor, great service, and delicious food would be in such an unassuming strip center. We typically would have gone across the street to that well known chain if we were in the mood for chinese food. After finding this place, I'm not so surre anymore. And these guys serve dim sum throughout the day if you're in the mood for it! It turns out that Ginger Cafe is part of a restaurant group that includes Asian Street Eatery, Rice + Noodles, and Fu Kee! They all serve a couple of the same signature dishes but also have their own, unique spins, etc. What we ate and enjoyed: Egg Fried Rice, Sauteed Vegetable de Asia, Mongolian Beef, and Cripy Shrimp Garlic Noodles. read more

Very delicious food with ample portions sizes keeps us coming back over and over.

My family is able to share our favorite plates of chicken fried rice, beef chow mein, and potstickers and enjoy our meal peacefully. read more

Nice modern looking restaurant. As the host walks you around to your seat, you pass by their bar and kinda see this as a higher end restaurant. Service was great as we had just beat the lunch crowd. The Mongolian Beef lunch special that we ordered was good. I'll definitely be back. read more

There's something really comforting about a place where you walk in and are greeted with a smile that feels like they mean it and that was the vibe right off the bat here no fuss no over the top just nice folks doing their thing and making sure people have a good time eating I went in with no expectations and the first thing I noticed was how calm everything felt even though people were coming in steadily the team kept things moving without letting the mood get chaotic which was refreshing the food came out not super fast but it was worth the wait and tasted like it had actually been made fresh with decent ingredients and the flavors were balanced nothing too salty or bland the person who brought it over checked in once without hovering and even helped me out with a small request without acting like it was a big deal I didn't have dessert but saw a few go by and they looked pretty tempting so maybe next time the whole experience was just smooth and I left feeling full and satisfied without anything standing out in a bad way. read more

Came here as a party of eight to celebrate a birthday, vaccinated on one side and nonvaccinated on the other side of the table. Exceptional ambiance, with beautiful decorations on the ceiling, always one of my favorite Asian fusion restaurants. The $15 Wor Wonton soup is among the very best I have ever tasted. Plentiful chicken dumplings with large slices of chicken, calamari, shrimp, bok choy and mushrooms. No skimping on meat, nor seafood, this is more like a solid meal than a soup. The $19 3 Delight on sizzling plate comes with calamari, chicken, shrimp, snow peas, mushrooms and broccoli on a sizzling plate. Another solid dish with lots of meat and seafood fried on the hot plate in front of you. Perfectly cooked not too overdone. The $19 shrimp with veggie is shrimp with broccoli, snow peas, bok choy, bamboo shoots and mushrooms. A pretty common dish. The $19 orange beef is fried battered beef with tangerine peel in a sweet citrus sauce. I've tasted better at Panda Express. The orange beef here is too sweet, and too much batter for my taste. The $16 eggplant tofu comes with sweet and sour garlic sauce. Probably stick to the crispy tofu next time, but wife loves the eggplant. Sweet and sour sauce not among my favorites. The $19 candied pecan prawn was not of my choosing, but a favorite among the granddaughters. Tossed with sweet creamy sauce, the prawns are nevertheless well presented and not full of mayo like sauce. A very heavy and filling dish. I would have ordered the carmelized garlic prawns with more kick. The $17 Mongolian beef comes with onions, scallions, and crispy rice noodles. Spicy hot, I usually slice up the hot red chilis to increase the spiciness. Another one of the best I have ever tasted dishes, right up there with PF Chang's Mongolian beef with green onions. The $16 kung pao chicken comes with carrots, onions, mushrooms, celery, peanuts, chili peppers, along with slices of chicken .  My wife's favorite, we always order this dish when coming here, as it is still another of one of the best dishes I have tasted. With two orders of steamed rice, the bill comes to $167 before tax, with no drinks and no dessert. 18% suggest tip based on $182.03 which includes $15.03 sales tax. Since when do we tip on tax? Yours truly paid for the birthday dinner. Surprised that my ex didn't ask for a free slice of birthday cake for her husband, 11 years her junior. read more

THE BEST TOFU I'VE HAD IN MY LIFE! I have brought many tofu-haters here and this always changes their mind! It's truly the best. We also very much enjoy their string bean chicken, pork fried rice, and their baby pig custard buns. We have been coming pretty regularly for about 8 years now (coming all the way from the East Bay) and always have wonderful customer service. In years past we have enjoyed waiters Abner and Bam. And in our most recent visit we were so pleased to be helped by Ing for the first time and fell in love with her too!! 100% recommend this place read more

I have food allergies and sadly I am one of the only Hapas allergic to MSG/mono sodium glutamate! Luckily for me there's a couple dishes here I can eat! I ordered: Sauteed Basa Fish Filet with Ginger and Scallions and Candied Pecan Prawns with white rice. I've never had sautéed bossa fish before, but it's very tasty and reminded me a lot of halibut or whatever fish is used for the English fish and chips. I love the candied pecan prawns dish here! The pecans are always my favorite! They are always perfectly candid and sweet, yet still have a good crunch! After this one serving I was actually stuffed so I have leftovers! read more
