The service was good, and the staff was nice, but we were not happy with the food served. We ordered the tonkotsu ramen and spicy Thai fried rice and requested that they add bamboo shoots to the ramen, but were told that the ramen came with bamboo shoots. When the food got here the ramen did not have bamboo shoots and it did not taste good to us either. I was not a fan of the spicy fried Thai rice as well. I am giving this restaurant 2 stars because of the nice staff and good service, but unfortunately we were not happy with the food served. read more

Ginger Noodle Bar - We ate more of the fried rice than the soup, but we did not enjoy either dish. - Asian Fusion Near Me - Alpine, California

Ginger Noodle Bar is one of the new restaurants at Viejas This Asian fanfare is located in the newest tower at Viejas casino. The ambiance is great, the place looks well placed and there a plenty of seating area. One good thing is that you don't have to wait for a hostess to be seated. Walk up to the counter and order from the menu located behind the cashier. We opted for the General Tsao's chicken and Kalbi ribs. The order is a good portion and it came with a side of steam rice. We shared the meal. The Kalbi rids is similar if not the same as the Korean short ribs. I think that the meat is a little bit on the medium side but then again if it was cooked any longer it would have been a tough meal to eat. The General Tsao's chicken was pretty tasty and it may have been on the salty side or is it MSG. I am not too sure but overall it was still good. Will I be back? Definitively so I can try the other offering on the menu. The price is not too bad but it's not on inexpensive either. read more

Ginger Noodle Bar - Egg Drop Soup - Asian Fusion Near Me - Alpine, California

Hodge podge line Hodge podge Asian cuisine Decent modern atmosphere This is an order up Asian restaurant. To place your order, there are 2 lines, 2 counters. A VIP line where they get priority to place their order. A second line where you need to fight and justify your existence to order! Firecracker shrimp gets a negative score! It is not firecracker shrimp, but undercooked thick wonton wrapped around shrimp and under fried Chiefs skewers meat was dry, flavor was decent but was over sauced! Only star given is the drunken noodle, which isn't a Thai drunken noodle but a Chinese Kuey Tiao Come here if you want to feel punished for dumping your money on these unforgiving slots! read more

The food here was beyond bland... drinks are decently priced though. Great environment and happy service workers. Great ambience. Definitely be a little drunk before eating so you can enjoy it more. Lol! Me and my friend both had drunken noodles, one with chicken and one with beef. It was like 4/10. read more

I did takeout here on the way out of the casino. The yang chow fried rice was pretty good and solid in portions. As long as you're a club member you will save a few bucks but with tip it can still come out to be fairly pricey. I'm interested in trying the other options here next trip. The place had a good line going earlier midday for lunch so it seems the casino regulars eat here. read more

Ginger Noodle Bar - Yang Chow fried rice.. - Asian Fusion Near Me - Alpine, California

The restaurant was very visually appealing and so were the dishes. However, the food was not that great. The fried rice was kinda of flavorless and the other entrees we got were not that great either. A little disappointed, but may come back again. Maybe it was a bad day. read more

This place is absolutely incredible. Hot and sour soup and egg drop soup are fantastic- super fresh. The general tsao chicken is super good, ask for extra sauce. Everything here is good including the fried rice kimchi and the Thai fried rice. I think they just re-did the entire place so you may want to give it another shot and ignore past reviews... read more

Ginger Noodle Bar - Asian Fusion Near Me - Alpine, California

Usually casino restaurants are decent but i really feel bad for Ginger Noodle. Its not even the cooks that are at fault. You have a manager who drinks on the job and come to find out doesn't even track inventory. How do we know? the key ingredient to drunken noodles is FISH SAUCE. first bite inspired disappointment. What brought even more disappointment was the fact that when we asked for some fish sauce ... THEY HAD RUN OUT. ITS BEEN AWHILE. HOW DOES AN "ASIAN" restaurant RUN OUT OF FISH SAUCE?! The food was decent BUT when ingredients are missing I ask myself two things 1.) The cooks must be pretty upset they cant cook to their full potential bc someone isn't ordering enough of the right supplies 2.)how many other people FAIL FAIL TO REALIZE THEIR FOOD IS SUBPAR?! Which of those Im more upset who knows?! I understand now why my dad didn't feel enthused to eat here at first but we wanted to give it a try. This tells me its been going on for awhile. The staff in the back and at the cashier were doing the best they could but like in most establishments where leadership should be given a D or an F, it reflects so apparently. During our experience, another manager, Kevin, came through and saved the day by his efforts in customer service. He should be commended and he was surprised we even told him he was doing a good job. Compared to the other guy, he was putting in WORK. I dont know how this casino runs their place but they shouldn't let poor management keep their paychecks if they let this piece of the casino be subpar. People are led by good leaders so maybe it isnt just the management in this restaurant but the casino as a whole. main takeaway from this review - save your money and eat at a legit asian restaurant. You will get what you paid for at another place read more

Located in the viejas casino resort, with dine in option only and limited seating. Ordered the seafood pan fried noodles and firecracker shrimp. Orders arrived surprisingly fast within minutes. Shrimp was crispy and tasty. Noodles had a variety of seafood with fresh ingredients. The place also has a nice ambience and is well organized to handle the covid guidelines. read more

Ginger Noodle Bar - Asian Fusion Near Me - Alpine, California

I came here for dinner. I was craving ramen so I got the tonkatsu ramen. The ramen noodles were good and the soup was tasty. I wish the soup had more corn. It had the pork pieces and sprouts. It had plenty of ramen noodles. I also got to sample the lumpia. It was hot and tasty with the sweet and spicy sauce. I definitely want to try other things on their menu. I was happy with what I ordered. You walk in and order, pay and then receive a number and take a seat at a table. The food came out in good amount of time. I enjoyed my dining experience here. I just wish the lady would have refilled my Sprite. She never came by to refill my drink. That's my only complaint. Other than that, my ramen was delicious. The inside was cozy and the lighting was nice. You can see the workers in the back making your food. I will definitely come back to try other items. read more

The best food and servicehighly recommend this place. This is one of my favorite spots now.

Loved the Asian cuisine here! Nice variety of items to choose from on the menu and the wait staff is friendly! I love eating here with family and then go for a bit of gambling and shopping next door at the outlet mall! read more

This place is awesome with how fast the food comes out! Service is awesome and the 5 stars goes to a manager named Brendan who is so kind and very helpful....he has such a great attitude. I truly appreciate his positive vibe, if only everyone had such a great attitude! He should be promoted!! employees like him make a customer happy to return back. read more

Ginger Noodle Bar - Veggie drunken noodle Shrimp fried rice (shrimp on the side) Chicken dish ( forgot the name) - Asian Fusion Near Me - Alpine, California

This place has the worst service out of all casino restaurants in San Diego. The food is mediocre but expensive for what you get. I think they raise the price because people are using club discounts. Not a fan. read more

I gave this place 3 chances. 3 different times, and all 3 times I was disappointed. I ordered different dishes, multiple dishes just to see which one would be good. The only dish that was flavorful and worth eating was the Pad Thai. read more

Let me just start off with the food is amazing. It taste great and they have options for vegetarians. When you first come in you will order your food and have the option to take out or not. Either way the food gets finish in a decent time. The customer service was great when my girlfriend and I went there. read more

This review is for the tonkotsu ramen only. It was absolutely HORRIBLE. The broth has no flavor in it at all. The noodles were the consistency of instant ramen. We piled on scoops of hot sauce in order to give it enough flavor to eat. Will not be back for the soup. Cashier was very sweet though. read more

This is the best place for Chinese and Asia food in Alpine. Mr Jose Troncoso, the head Chef, is exceptional details with the food being serve at Ginger Noodle Bar. I especially like his Thai Style Drunken Noodle. The taste is so good that you think you are at Thailand (He can makes vegetarian dishes with great taste). The Yang Chow Fried Rice is my another favor choice. I love the Matcha Green Tea Roll for my sweet craving. The whole teams (manager Diane) are friendly, prompt, and courteous even they are packed with many customers waiting, but they are do their best and promptly service (usually very busy in dinnertime). Try Ginger Noodle Bar where you are in San Diego CA. Enjoy... read more

I absolutely love Viejas. My fiancé's parents stayed here and it was great. I love Vietnamese food since my family is from that area on the globe so naturally I wanted to try this place and it was very good. My fiancé did not like it as much, hence the 4 stars, but I will be coming here often for a nice lunch out! Also the staff is very friendly. read more

There food is really good and the service is great too I do recommend to come eat here .

Probably the worst chicken pad Thai I've ever eaten. Everything about it was mushy- the noodles, eggs, chicken, etc. It lacked flavor and the texture couldn't have been more of a turnoff. Not worth the 30+ min wait to order and sit inside. read more

Wow!! where shall I begin I would like to send a big shout out to the general manager "Rick he rocks ginger noodle bar big time. I came in to the restaurant and I order Pho and it was, very flavorful and it had the right touch to it I came. into the casino Nov 22, 2019 and when I do Visit the casino, I always go to the ginger noodle bar? the food is always great and tasty. I have never had any problems whats so ever now that I met and seen Rick I am going to be coming more often I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who comes and visit the Casino. Just like what yelp review says Woohoo As good as it gets!! Rick your the best in my book...... read more

The food is not bad, I will give them that (hence the 2 stars and not 1). It is getting the food that is the bad part about this restaurant. I walked in there late one night, and ordered a bowl of their meatball soup. The place was not busy. There were two parties ahead of me in line, and maybe 2 or 3 parties dinning in the restaurant. I stood there and waited for my soup. 10 minutes went by. 20 minutes went by. Still no soup. I looked around the restaurant and noticed that many of the other customers had the same perturbed look on their faces as they waited for their food. So I assumed this was a pretty common occurrence here. So 30 minutes goes by, and I go up to the counter and ask about my food. "They're working on it now". Is the only answer I got. So I waited another 5 minutes....no soup. Finally I told them I wanted my order canceled and my money refunded. The manager came out. No apologies. No offer to rush my food out. She just gave me my refund and I left. I did go back a second time a few weeks later to try the place again. This time, there was a long line. I never ended up getting the food the second time either, but at least this time they had the decency to tell me the food was going to take an hour to prepare. I wouldn't recommend against going to this place. Like I said, the food is good. But if you are going to go there, go to the restaurant an hour ahead of time and order your food, then come back in an hour to pick it up. And you need to go into the restaurant to order because they don't take orders over the phone if the wait is more than 30 minutes. And the wait is ALWAYS more than 30 minutes! read more

Thank you BK for your excellent guest service! It did not go unnoticed. We appreciate it!

Hot & sour soup and egg flower soup were good. Spring rolls were just OK. Need mint. Korean ribs were disappointing. Adobo pork was "meh". Needed the Hoisin sauce we put on it. Will come back to try the pho and review could change. read more

A rare find inside Vieja's Casino. It's all the way near the end of the West side of the casino where there is a non-smoking area. Look for bright vertical lights on the left hand side. You can easily miss the entrance to the restaurant if you're not paying attention. My dad and I ordered the shrimp egg rolls which consisted of a whole shrimp inside a crunchy egg roll shell. They were perfect with the chili sauce or dipped inside a bowl of ramen which we also got. The ramen noodles had one of the best consistencies I have ever bitten into, not too soft, but not too al dente. Just right. It was just the right amount of chewy but soft texture. We paired it with a dish of Korean kalbi served with kim chi. The meat was so tender and the taste was very authentic Korean bbq. All dishes were done to perfection and I was truly happy with my meal. I didn't mind the haphazard service, but they were really nice and fulfilled any requests that they might have missed. I will be back! read more

Went here for dinner tonight. Ordered some Shanghai Lumpia that was cooked to perfection and served with some sweet chili sauce. Tonkotsu Ramen that was on point with a rich buttery soup and ramen noodles that was cooked to perfection and a kalbi plate that was grilled to perfection and served with Kim chee and a side of white rice. read more

The only dish I really like here is the Kalbi ribs. It's a must try. Everything else is pretty subpar, imo. Overall this place isn't too bad read more

Worst service and food ever! Our party of 3 were told an hour and 15 minute wait! It felt like we were in the Artic as the temperature inside the place we were seated was beyond freezing and all customers were expressing the same thing! Finally, an hour later our food was served, cold and not even anything we were anxiously expecting! Worst experience honestly, all the way around! The waitressing staff seemed to not care, as they seemed to want to close up shop! UNBELIEVABLE. read more

I was looking forward to finally trying Ginger Noodle bar today. Boy was I disappointed! I ordered the Drunken Noodles with chicken the noodles were gooey and the chicken was undercooked and rubbery. Ate a few bites and left the rest. Also, my friend and I sat in the restraunt for 1 hour and 15 mintues and none of the waitstaff came by to pickup our uneatten food as her food was terrible too and she couldn't eat it. Wouldn't be back. read more

This place usually has a line out the door, saw a few bad reviews but decided to give it a try anyway. We ordered the egg drop soup and general tso's chicken. Both were delicious, the food came out fast and hot and we really enjoyed the meal. Wouldn't recommend the milk tea boba, as it was pretty bland and tasted a little watery. Overall good experience. read more

Food Quality: Gracious 3.5 (rating is for shrimp/chicken Yang Chow fried rice & lumpia only) Cashier: 4.8 (helpful & pleasant) Service Team: 2 (not very organized; nor were they very pleasant) our food sat under the lamps for approximately 10 mins before it was served) it was fine because it was still warm...the team just seemed to be confused and like they didn't know what they were doing. Which may just be a Training issue, so they may get better as time goes on. If we go back we'll try the noodles; the dishes being served looked very good. read more

Ginger is priced well and I like that they allow kids here; unlike the other Viejas restaurants. Only issue is that I came here several times and they seem to run out of the items I want. My favorite here is their egg drop soup (believe or not) and they have ran out twice. You order at the counter and they give you a number to put on your table. Don't get the adobo; it doesn't taste like traditional Filipino adobo. read more

YUMMY!!!! Actually the best hot and sour soup ever !!! The staff is incredible. We were greeted by Priscilla and Judith , I believe Priscilla was a manager by her professional appearance , big smile , great suggestions! We were really surprise how great the food was. I had Kalbi beef , General tso and the drunken noodles . Everything is super fresh and made to order . You can see the chefs preparing your meal . We might be coming to viejas casino just to eat here. AMAZING! WILL NOT DISAPPOINT! read more

I'm basing this review solely on the food alone. I ordered the tonkatsu ramen. I don't know how you could screw up ramen, but it was pretty bad. I could make better ramen. It lacked flavor and the egg was not your typical Japanese boiled egg. It was a hard boiled egg. My friend ordered the kalbi. Now the kalbi was decent. But the rice? How could an Asian restaurant mess that up? It basically felt like we were eating old rice. read more
