The food was pretty good but could have been a tad bit spicier!! The ambiance of the place was super cool felt like I was in Vegas without being in Vegas!! The service was pretty good they let us get the seats way faster than they said and the food came out right away. The service could have been better as it took a really long time for us to be served when we for seated! Pad Thai - really good would highly recommend!! Kung Pao Chicken- it was okay, could have been spicier. It did have flavor but overall could have been better! read more

The service was exceptional. Janet was attentive and so polite. Have you ever been to a restaurant and had to ask for more water? Well that's not what happened at our visit. Janet kept our tea and water topped off and anticipated everything we could need. The food was excellent. That wok flavor was so comforting. The decor was timeless and the tables and chairs were sized nicely. Would definitely recommend and will be back for sure. read more

Ginger - My delicious shrimp & broccoli! - Chinese Near Me - National Harbor, Maryland

I had ordered a meal at this restaurant years ago while visiting MGM. I remembered a delicious Honey Walnut Scollop meal that I had been trying to make on my own at home. Since I was staying at the nearby Wyndham National Harbor, I decided to drive over and get that meal again. First, they do not accept phone or online delivery services, and you must come this Ginger in order to make and receive a takeout order. Second, the walk from the parking lot to the restaurant was extremely long. I had to sit and catch my breath Three times. When I got to the restaurant I realized the only similar meal was a Honey Walnut Prawns meal made with large breaded shrimp. I had driven over and made that walk, so I ordered that with rice and broccoli. I asked for the ice cream that was on their menu, but they had none. I picked up some ice cream on the way back to the car. The takeout service was good and even gave me an extra receipt when I asked for one. This meal was not as delicious as I remembered. Even the broccoli seemed to have no seasoning, so was tasteless. I sat on the seat of my walker while waiting for my order. It really didn't take long to bring my order that totaled over $84. There was a large portion that I could eat from two or three times, however. I won't be getting food from this restaurant again. It just wasn't worth the walk or the cost. read more

I LOVE the Asian noodle bar in any Casino, so they kind of have me at Konichi wa. But my bar is pretty high because I lived in Japan for a couple years and fell in love with the real thing. Casino noodle bars can also be way overpriced and underrated. But Ginger was fantastic! Great service, and flavorful food! Beautiful ambiance, and I didn't feel like an outcast with my party if one. May have been my first time ordering "ramen" that had a visually flavorful and appealing broth without having to add a bunch of stuff to it. Visit Ginger when you're at MGM National Harbor! read more

Ginger - Wonton Noodle Soup - didn't even have to add anything! - Chinese Near Me - National Harbor, Maryland

The food court area was lacking so we ended up here! We are so happy we did. We were seated right away and able to enjoy the seasonal decorations and structures. Our waiter Zheng, was fast and attentive. We appreciated him as another table was very rude, yet he kept it professional with everyone and never missed a beat with refills and everything we needed. We started with the lettuce wraps that were filled with more filling than I've ever seen before and freshly fried gyozas. The sauces with the small spoons were a cute touch. For mains we got the Peking duck (whole) and combo house fried rice which was a lot of food. We requested the pancakes and the bao buns. The duck comes with one or the other, or $5 extra for both. It was AMAZING. Super surprised at how authentic it was for this location. Will be back! Thanks Zheng for taking care of us! read more

Great customer service from everyone especially Cindy (I think that was her name), the mgr. About a week ago I was there I ordered what I usually do , the Singapore noodles, but when I got home they forgot to season it with anything. I mentioned it to the person at the front of the restaurant today who also is awesome, but I don't know her name. She got Cindy for me and I figured since it was free on my points that it wouldn't matter, but she gave me a brand new one at no charge. I was really grateful and impressed by everyone.. read more

we realy enjoyed the Ginger restaurant for it service and food last Monday through Wednesday for two days. Especially the manager and waiter and waitress are excellent for guest service. The manager are alway smelling and like to talking and server his customers. read more

Stayed at the MGM Grand and was starving when we arrived and boy did we go to the right place! Service was on the spot and the food was ready so quickly! We had 4 in our party and all was ready in the time it usually takes for an appetizer. Might be the best fried rice I've ever had! And I love Mongolian beef - this has a kick to it, a bit spicy but in a good way. The flavor was there. And then she brought a hot towel to everyone at the end. Portions were good for sharing. But not too large that you will have leftovers. Just enough. So convenient being in the hotel and casino. read more

Very lackluster food and service. I wouldn't recommend. Plain and simple. Go somewhere else unless it's the only place open in the casino.

Ginger is a really nice Asian restaurant in the MGM National Harbor. The wait staff do try their best to be professional and hospitable because the crowd they have to work with on the daily are just so different from the standard in the industry - Gamblers. Do you realize how poorly some of the people get treated by self entitled Gamblers that have thrown away fortunes, family and their very lives away? The prices of the food on the menu are over inflated because they have to account for the insane amount of Casino Comps that are issued to each check every shift. I can't find the scallops, Pad Thai, Lamb Lollipops etc we had in my camera roll but I'll be sure to update the review when I find them, but the quality is there. The location is in front of the main entrance of MGM nearby the Valet Parking, Theatre, and VIP Casino Entrance. Again, while dining here keep in mind that the folks here most likely don't receive the best of tips because of the average guest that comes through there. Also, if you're looking on Yelp to see/read this review your pockets probably aren't full enough to tip them super crazy - food is supposed to be overpriced and you just have to deal with it. I've seen so many people lose a fortune at the Casino and then go to their Host and get a $300-$1000 food comp to Ginger and take it ALL Togo. Ain't no way their depressed broke ass tipped Anyways, if you've gotten this far in the review I hope you'll have an awesome day and an even better tomorrow!!! Good luck! read more

We were seeing a show at the MGM theater and this place is very convenient for that. Otherwise, I'd give it 2.5 stars rounded up to 3. Very expensive, very noisy and busy with very average food. We had hot and sour cucumbers, shredded pork with crispy noodles and Beef Chow Fun. If we had to come back, I wouldn't get any of that again. Service was pleasant and attentive, mostly because they are trying to get you in and out as quickly as possible. read more

Ginger - Magnolia cocktail - Chinese Near Me - National Harbor, Maryland

Overpriced, low quality food. It's $32 for a kung Pao chicken where the chicken appears to have been reheated multiple times and the texture is like cardboard. The $24 wonton noodle soup is a fucking joke. The wontons appear to be frozen and have been boiled to death so the skin is stuck onto the rock solid meatball. It's fine if it's comped and there are no other food options but if you are paying cash for this it's a disgusting rip off. read more

Very spacious and nice ambiance! Food that we chose were excellent - Chinese broccoli beef chow fun (short flat noodles) , which had a thickened "sauce" or gravy-like texture (probably cornstarch) and Taiwanese three-cup chicken were excellent. Service was also excellent. Next day I ordered the same broccoli beef dish to go (but since this comes with noodles which they packed separately of course and when heated it was still delicious but it's best eaten on the spot ). read more

Ginger - Taiwanese Three-cup chicken; Chinese broccoli beef chow fun - Chinese Near Me - National Harbor, Maryland

Food is hit or miss guessing it depends on the chef that's on duty. Service is about the same. I've been and has had great service other times I feel like cattle or the forgotten woman under the stairs. The atmosphere is nice located near the theater and atrium of the MGM. I always order the same thing and the flavor definitely varies each time I get the chicken Singapore noodles. I'll ask for spice and it doesn't have any. Which is crazy because this dish could and should have a nice kick. I'll always come back as they are the only place local to me that have decent Singapore noodles that I like. Stop by and give them a try read more

Ginger is such a hit or miss it's insane. Came here twice and both times I thought to myself "Wow this isn't good at all" then I will eat something else and think "Wow, this is amazing" You don't come here for the drinks, they are decent but go literally anywhere else for cocktails. Ordered the honey glazed chicken wings and those were AMAZING, like some of my favorite wings that I've ever had which got my hopes up for the rest of the dishes lolol. Potstickers weren't bad, but they weren't good either sighhh. General Tso Shrimp & Chicken were both fantastic, but the Squid and the bbq pork were terrible. Squid wasn't fully cooked and the pork was EXTREMELY dry. Like I said, some things are fantastic but others are sooooo bad. I'll come back for the amazing things though read more

The vibe and atmosphere is what you're paying for. Food is delicious. But, you're gonna have to spend to really get full. It's a nice late night meal.

Located inside the lobby of the MGM casino, Ginger is a upscale Asian restaurant with a lovely view of the comings and goings -- especially at Christmas. If you're looking for something nicer than the MGM food court. This is a good spot. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. However, my waitress actually tried to talk me out of the Salt & Pepper Squid!?! She said she had two customers return it for lack of taste and being dry. But it was exactly what I was looking for! --Crispy and flavorful. I'm very picky about Vietnamese Fried Spring Rolls, and these were some of the best I've ever ordered. (I did request a few more lettuce leaves for wrapping.) The waiters and expeditors work hand-in-hand for seamless service. read more

This restaurant is inside MGM National Harbor. This restaurant is also clean with great lighting, exceptional service, and insanely good Sweet & Sour Cucumber Salad. The Sweet & Sour Cucumber Salad has a nice spicy kick to it. And I don't often talk about aftertaste, but it crushes on that. You feel like you're still eating it an hour later. You might find even yourself smiling at the poker table and someone will ask you why, and you will say, "Cucumber Salad." The noodles were good. Not a lot of taste but still good. I should have asked for soy sauce. The prices here are insanely high, unless you order sides. A savvy casino restaurant strategy. Highly recommended. read more

Upon entering this restaurant, which is conveniently located right at the MGM valet door entrance, you are welcomed by the beautiful ambiance. It is situated right in a busy walking area but surprisingly the noise of the MGM patrons does not disturb the experience in the restaurant. The server was a bit rude, but we did notice anytime a table seemed to be experiencing any issue a manager would appear immediately. We had a few questions about the menu and our server was a bit confused, a manager came right over, without being asked. We appreciated the attention they kept on the restaurant. The food was ok, we ordered a few items to share family style. The items we ordered were: Chicken lettuce wraps, which came with 3. They were over stuffed, but with mainly celery. The lamb lollipops, they were over done, so we had to send them back and we didn't no ask for more. The Chicken Pad Thai was not all that! As someone who loves loves loves Pad Thai I was pretty disappointed. The manager did try to bring me some sauce because it was very dry. The honey glazed wings, my mom loved them. Tasty and cooked to perfection. Crispy veggie spring rolls, were very hot and delicious. All of the food came out very fast which we loved, allowed us to finish dinner and continue on to our next destination. The over all experience was just ok, the restaurant was pretty busy. The staff managed the busy atmosphere very well. read more

I was lucky enough to have been invited to have dinner here on Christmas night for my father in law's birthday. I'm not sure if it was difficult for them to get this table but I really liked their food and enjoyed the company!! [Food: 5 of 5] --We ordered a lot of stuff, and I can't think of one dish that I disliked. Lamb Lollipops: 5 of 5! this was the first dish that came out and it paired well with their soysauce and chilis. Oxtail Soup: 5 of 5- fresh and hot, the oxtail was very tender. Ginger Scallion Lobster : 6 of 5! I got to bring the leftovers home and it was still very delicious after being refrigerated and microwaved Steamed Sea Bass: 4.8 of 5- I wish the fish got to suck in more flavor but this dish was delicious at the restaurant and as a leftover too! House Style Diced Beef: served with bell peppers and onions; not my cup of tea but it didnt taste bad!! Honey Walnut Prawns: 5 of 5! crispy, with walnuts on the side, wish they served it with more mayonnaise but very very good. Deep Fried? Shrimp: served like the shrimp dish at Chinese buffet lines! Salted Egg Shrimp: 10 of 10!! Literally my favorite dish of the whole night- Shrimp mixed in salted egg yolk; saltiness with a subtle hint of sweet. a MUST ORDER! [Drink: 3 of 5] I ordered a Blue Hawaiian and .. honestly I thought it could've been better. It was very sweet and only tasted like soda water and blue curaçao. [Dessert: 3.5 of 5] Mochi Icecream: okay... no one dislikes mochi icecream right? yes, it was as delicious as it sounds. It came with matcha, strawberry and vanilla mochi. Mango Sticky Rice: the restaurant used sour mango instead of sweet yellow mango which (in my opinion) ruined the dessert. the sticky rice and coconut were sweet enough by itself to eat without mango too which I enjoyed alot [Service: 5 of 5] I wish I remembered their names but the ladies who helped us out were very helpful and sweet. They stopped by often to constantly check on us [Ambiance: 4 of 5] We sat in one of the private rooms in the back and we really enjoyed the privacy it gave as there were curtains to block other customers from looking in. The pulled out curtains were a nice touch for when we opened presents at the end of dinner! Con: since we were in the back/private room; it was very hot. it got toasty in there with little air circulation. Overall: Definitely check them out and get their Salted Egg Shrimp dish! read more

We came to Ginger for the first time and it was the first place we been that let's you tell the restaurant you are here via text. We asked if the entrees were family-sized because the tables around us looked like large plates, but we were told no and for us these are definitely family sized entrees. For appetizer we got the pan fried potatoes stickers but once we reached the entrees, as two people we were unable to even make a dent in the General tso chicken, Mongolian beef, and Chinese broccoli that we ordered. Everything came out hot and tasted great with flavor. Each item also automatically came with rice so we ended up with 3 rice bowls. We will definitely be back, but would be more mindful on sharing entrees since one was too large for us. read more

Ginger - Signature Soft-Shell Crab Fried Rice - Chinese Near Me - National Harbor, Maryland

Of the several options at MGM NH, we chose this one solely because they had Sesame Chicken on the menu, and that's what we ordered. Instead, we were brought Sesame Shrimp. We made the mistake of not having them correct the error, cuz, ya know, shrimp is nice. At least it is when it's fresh. But when you order Sesame Chicken and the chef makes Sesame Shrimp, and you start to feel sick shortly after leaving the restaurant, you start to wonder what the hell they are trying to pull. I'm not sure if the shrimp was the culprit, but I'm not inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt if it follows a blunder that bad. Avoid this place like the plague. Or you just might come down with it. read more

Had the opportunity to have lunch here, thanks to a friend and her uncle. We were sat quickly, the hostess and waitress were very kind. The restaurant was aesthetically pleasing and for it being in the MGM, it was surprisingly tranquil. It was so hard to decide on an appetizer and an entree but I was very pleased. The spring rolls were so good and the sauce, chef's kiss. My entree was so big and delicious, I would say it was kind of heavy for lunch, but it made for great leftovers and it honestly tasted even better the next day. If you are at the MGM and are craving Asian fusion, I would recommend giving this place a try. It did not disappoint! read more

"Beautiful decor, location is prime especially if headed to a show. Wait staff unattentive and rude. Food was 2 thumbs down! $30 a plate for subpar food. Thai, chinese, Vietnamese dishes. Even the drinks were disgusting. We had the old fashioned, lychee something. For food we had sticky glaze wings (no taste and no sticky), Vietnamese street noodle, drunken noodles and spring rolls. The spring rolls were the best part of the meal (but not enough sauce was provided). We would have asked our server for more but she was MIA. Majority of the food and all the drinks were poorly executed. First and last time visitor." read more

We decided to eat at Ginger because we were at the MGM for a comedy show and they were the only restaurant with reservations available before the show. Pros, the service was for the most part, very fast. The lettuce wraps came out within maybe 5 minutes of us ordering them and our entrees came out while we were finishing the appetizer. At one point we did have to get our servers attention as she hadn't been to our table in a while and my husband needed additional rice and we both needed drinks. Cons, the food overall was bland. The chicken in the lettuce wraps didn't have much flavor and they were loaded with a ton of celery. All of the hoisin sauce was in the bottom of the wrap which I found odd. I think it would be better on top. I ordered the shrimp pad Thai, and again, it was bland. I've had better pad Thai for half the price. The prices here are high for what you're getting. The portions are large but the food lacks flavor. We ordered drinks as well. We each had the scorpion and found they were very acidic and too strong. It tasted like I was drinking rum with lime juice. Another issue, the restaurant itself is beautiful but I wasn't a fan of our table. We were at a 2 person table, booth on one side, chair on the other and the table was extremely close to the tables to the tables next to us. We were in the middle, so I had to squeeze by the one table to get into the booth and I'm not a large person. It felt like we were dining with the tables next to us, that's how close we were. I did have a reservation but it felt like we were sat at a table that was for walk ins they just needed to stick somewhere. I would try other options in the MGM before returning here. read more

This place is really cute. It's open late and the food great for soaking up alcohol. My girl friend and I stumbled in here while our husbands were on the casino floor. We were drunk and needed a snack but everything else seemed to be closed. Although it seemed like the restaurant was about to close, the host still sat us and the server was very patient with us as we tried to figure out what we wanted. We ended up ordering a lot more than we needed. We picked out a few fried appetizers and fried rice. They were all delicious. I was surprised to find that the Vietnamese crispy spring rolls were pretty authentic and very savory. If you're at MGM, this is a great option! read more

First time at Ginger, I had high expectations because not only was it at the beautiful MGM, but the reviews were mostly positive, the menu looked appealing and based on the prices they sell their dishes for I assumed it was a quality place. I wasn't throughly impressed, but we were starving and needed something quick, fast, and in a hurry. This is not the place for a quiet date night. The food is okay. It's not something I'd rave about but definitely an experience that was alright if you were in the area. . Drinks were tasty but light. Overall, it's an okay spot to try but not something that stands out as much as I thought it would for the Asian flare of the menu. The staff was very friendly and always checked on us, so customer service was a plus. I'm not hard pressed to return on my next visit. read more

This was my 3rd time dining at Ginger and I still love it! I really love their general Tso Shrimp dish and get it each time I dine here.

The food came out so fast. They are located inside MGM across from The Theater. They have free garage parking. I would recommend a reservation since this is a popular place and usually 1-2 hour wait.
