This place surprised me. I'll be honest, we quit going here for a couple of years because it got so bad. Only reason I ordered it was because a friend said they're back to the way they used to be. I ordered on Door Dash and the food was hot, fresh and quality ingredients. I ordered the Orange chicken, Hong Kong style chow mein, egg rolls and BBQ pork. Everything exceeded my expectations and I'll definitely will order from them again. read more

I can't really think of many Chinese food places I've ordered from multiple times. I have only lived in Chico a couple of months and have ordered from here three times. We are new vegetarians and don't have many options but we love this place and always are satisfied. read more

Ginger's - Orange chicken and beef fried rice - Chinese Near Me - Chico, California

See all

Pretty good Chinese food at reasonable prices. Very nice employees. Both take out and sit down service. Clean restaurant. Singapore rice noodles were good. A bit too many onions. Sesame chicken very good. Mongolian beef was mainly an onion dish with some beef. Not recommended unless you totally love onions a lot and don't care that you'll get a small amount of very dry beef with it. The onions tasted good however some many onions is not we had expected to get. Coconut curry vegetables were excellent. Overall the food was a 3 1/2 however I'm rating them a 4 due to their wonderful employees. read more

I ordered the orange chicken combination dinner with chowmein , fried rice, spicy soup, eggroll, and crab puff. The spicy soup was probably the best part, but very small. The chicken was pretty good too, but not as amazing as the reviews had me hoping it would be. The eggroll and crab puff were also good. Unfortunately the chowmein was just "okay" for me (and I LOVE chowmein) and the rice was not good at all. I was not expecting it to be yellow or for it to have onions (white onions, not even green onions). I've never had rice come with white onions before. If I would have known, I would have just asked for chowmein. That is the main deal breaker for me and the main reason I wouldn't come back. Just not my style. It also didn't come with fruit or a cookie (which is fine), I would just recommend not advertising it as such or double checking the orders when they go out. I also ordered to go. It was ready fairly quick...about 15 mins. One girl was super nice and friendly, the other girl came off as kind of rude to me. She had a lot going on and was trying to multitask, but still. Not a good first impression. It's probably overall deserving of a three, but I personally give it a two just because it's not a place I'd go back to. If they made regular fried rice I'd reconsider, but that's just me. read more

After one try of their take out, I think this place is mediocre at best. They were timely, got the order 100% correct, and although the lady on the phone had a very thick accent, she communicated very efficiently and clearly which was impressive. The white rice was probably the best part. The chow mein was alright, but that seems pretty hard to mess up. I got the green bean chicken which just wasn't very flavorful, and the egg rolls were... unimpressive. I probably won't give it another go. read more

Ginger's - Dinner combo w/ chicken and green beans and steamed rice. - Chinese Near Me - Chico, California

Food was alright, the service was definitely fast. We got the order as take out. The person waiting for me with the food was nice and friendly, very good service. The restaurant was clean and was full of people having dine in food. But i was kind of disappointed when i arrived at home with our food. The fried rice is yellow, for some reason? It was ok, but lacked the usual flavor and texture of fried rice. We got the orange chicken and general chicken which were both good. read more

This place is really reasonably priced. There is a sign that says they have $5.25 lunch specials but I haven't asked about them. I always just go with the $7.50 special and those have been really good. I like the crab thing that comes with the broccoli beef. I haven't tried to test if they do substitutions but I'll see another time. I'll be back. It's a really friendly staff. Good food. read more

The Fried shrimp was great with the spicy sauce on the side. The only issue was that delivery person brought it to my back door not the front. read more

The food was okay and the portions were big. We ordered 10 dishes for six people and took half home.

Had takeout tonight. Orange chicken, almond chicken and hot and sour soup. It was the best!!! Definitely would recommend this place

Hot and sour soup was really good! I have not tried anything else here other than the hot and sour soup.

How to tell if an Asian restaurant is good: 1. Not as sanitary as non-Asian restaurants 2. They have menus exclusively for Asians (preferably Chinese) 3. If you speak Mandarin to them, you get special treatment in how your food is made They met all three, even though my Mandarin sounds like iron nails on a chalkboard and speed is as slow as melting butter going down a grassy hill. I ordered the Mapo Doufu and it was one of the best spots for it. Food is really good! read more

The service was good, so was the food. Always like trying different places and this place was a good find. Sweet and sour sauce was one of the best I have tried. You can tell it's not fast food. I would recommend to friends and family. read more

Ate here years ago but couldn't remember anything about it. Never came back because I live at the other end of Chico and I like to dine close to home. After leaving Cinemark around 7:30pm on a Friday we figured "what the hell, it's been a long time since we ate here". The place is clean, well furnished (sometimes places have crappy seats and tables) good lighting and friendly servers. The food was very flavorful and enough left for take home. Prices were reasonable . I will come back. read more

I ordered delivery. the speed was very fast！I just hang up，the guy was knocking the door！Food is soooo good！I can feel the meet is very fresh！I like this cheese puff very much，it is best one！ read more

We were feeling lazy and hungry on our vacation, and Ginger's came up closest to us for Chinese food. We ordered and are very happy we did! The mobile online ordering process was a breeze, the prices were great and the food got to our house in under 30 minutes. (We live close-ish by) The order is scrumptious, boiling hot and we're very happy. Thanks Ginger's! We will be back :) read more

This is the best in town. We haven't been able to find a good Chinese food restaurant where we currently live so when we come into, we try to stop here. Lunch is cheap. It is only $6.25 for orange chicken with hot and sour soup, fried rice, a egg roll, and fruit. They give you big portions and you will leave filled. Soda will come in a can and don't come with refills. read more

We love Gingers. We have been ordering from them since we moved here and they have the best food in comparison to others we have tried. The Mongolian beef and General Tao's chicken is AMAZING!! read more

The food is always delicious! The portions and prices are good as well. They have the best chow mein and crab rangoons.

Really disappointed. This restaurant came highly recommended to me by locals who raved about the fresh, delicious authentic Asian cuisine and outstanding customer service. I ordered Chow Fun with broccoli and beef, spring rolls and potstickers. Including tip which was paid directly to the restaurant before delivery, I paid 55.00 It was inedible. The noodles were swimming in a greasy sauce, the broccoli was yellow, overcooked and the noodles were so overcooked, they fell apart. I couldn't even eat it. My dog, normally very interested in whatever I'm eating, high-tailed it out of the room. The potstickers and spring rolls were likely cooked in old oil because they were burnt and again, swimming in grease. I reached out and left a message for them telling them I'd like to give them a chance, but my order was so bad, it was inedible. No one ever called back. I want to support local restaurants, but geez Louise, make me wait longer for properly prepared food I'll enjoy, don't slap together and box up something for me to buy to feed my garbage can. read more

Ginger's is probably one of my most frequented restaurants in Chico. Their chicken chow mein is probably the best chow mein I have ever had. Prices are affordable, the food is delicious and the staff is so kind. I really appreciate how quickly my orders are ready and I can call right before I leave the house to pick up. My favorite thing about Ginger's is that they deliver to the Chico Taproom that is in the same complex and makes it a breeze to support two local businesses in one night. Love you forever Ginger's. read more

took wayyyyy too long for a door dash takeout order. 40 minutes after it said it was ready and it's still not done. I'm the delivery driver btw. There's about 10 other people here waiting that were here before me. Would not recommend ordering from here unless you want to wait for food read more

I am sure that they have some good dishes, but I was not impressed with the two that I ordered. Please note that the Ma Po Tofu, we should contain Szechuan peppercorns, absolutely did not so I really can't count as anything but spicy tofu-- not the delightfully mouth-numbering sensationof Szechuan peppercorns. Also, they're hot and sour soup is a little heavy on the white pepper, which gives it the certain "back of the horse" flavor. The potstickers, however, we're passable if not a bit spongy. read more

I ordered Ma Po Tofu, the sauce was delicious, but the tofu was very poorly prepared - was like jelly. My husband ordered chicken fried rice and the fried rice was pale on color and had very little flavor. read more

Great prices. Lunch specials are a ton of food. Good flavors and portions. Friendly staff.

We thought we would give it another try, well $85 later most of it went in the trash. I will not go back. The egg fu young had the constancy of cat food, Lemon chicken was soggy, the walnut shrimp was breaded and very little sauce. It seemed everything was premade then they thru whatever flavor sauce on it. I would have been better off at Panda express and a lot cheaper. Save your money read more

This place is sooooo amazing. Their Orange Tofu In the cuts & a must stop food joint in Chico especially if your a vegetarian.

Ginger's is my favorite Chinese place in town. Portions are big, service is friendly and fast. The prices are mid-range compared to other Chinese restaurants in town. I first came for the salt & pepper prawns (no longer on the menu, but they take requests) which are amazing! I really like their chow mein (not too greasy, full of meat & veggies) and won-ton soup (lots of veggies and won-tons). Although their decor is kind of old-fashioned, the vibe is relaxed and family friendly. They're great for take-out too. read more

I hadn't been to Ginger's in months, I was craving pot-stickers and Gingers had the best. Having gone now, I can't find a reason to ever go back. I dropped in and ordered sweet and sour chicken, walnut prawns, spring rolls, and pot stickers. While waiting for my order I look around the place - it's dirty. The carpet is thread bare, there is dust on the fake plants that still have Christmas decorations on them, there are cobwebs on the ceiling beams, clearly leaks in the ceiling, and a bunch of items in a corner behind a screen that look broken, or seasonal. If this is the condition of dinning area, how does the kitchen look? Got my order in a reasonable amount of time - got it home... The sweet and sour chicken - while eatable - is in little slivers of chicken - the pineapple pieces were bigger than any chicken part - not totally convinced it was chicken, what bits there were had an odd texture, and certainly there was nothing to taste except the sauce. The walnut prawns are the oddest shape - like tear drops - every single one of them in this same shape - just not very appealing. The spring rolls were all wrapper, no filling. The pot-stickers looked okay on the outside, but were under-cooked on the inside - gross. The whole reason I picked Gingers was they had fantastic pot-stickers, and they were such a let down. read more

Great lunch specials for $4.95 Best orange sauce and chow mien in town! And delicious veggie options! I love this restaurant. They are always friendly, the food is fresh and they have a great range of delicious vegetarian options and tofu that isn't boiled like the other places I have tried in Chico. I ALWAYS recommend this to others! They also deliver now! read more

Ginger's has an awesome staff who friendly, efficient, and quick. Went the take-out route and ordered while I was there-couldn't find a menu online. While I was there they provided a great atmosphere and cordially offered water as you wait for your food. The food that I ordered overall was tasty and I will return. Main qualm--the spicy food needs more spice to bring out the flavor of the dishes-- I ordered the General Chicken and the Prawns Lover dish. Needs a little more fire. I do have to give credit to the Hot and Sour soup-delicious and provides levels of flavor creating a mouth tingly experience . The pot-stickers are not greasy either and have a great texture! I am curious as to the other items on the menu. Next time I am checking out the Pineapple Chicken or the Honey Walnut Prawns-try out the sweeter side of the menu. read more

I know this is bold but I'm going to say it, Ginger's is the best Chinese food I've ever had. Nothing in San Francisco that I've had is even comparable (but if you have some suggestions please tell me). I've spent a good amount of time in China too...still didn't find anything as good as this (well as far as your standard "Chinese food" type choices go, don't get me wrong there is amazing food in China but it's not the same kind of thing). I'm not really sure why it's listed in the romantic choices section. There's nothing romantic about this place. But it's still worth taking a date just to impress them with good food. And to top it off it's cheap and there are always leftovers. What more could you want? It definitely makes a trip up to Chico so much more worth it (that and Hula's!) read more

7/31/2013 I *might* return if I get a note from the owner that they will NOT be playing Christian radio during my meal! And...the mixed vegetable dish was the blandest I've ever eaten in perhaps 200 Chinese restaurants I've eaten. And...no one came by after serving the food to check in with us. And...no offer was made to box up our leftovers, from one of the very few times I did not want to finish my meal at a Chinese restaurant. Note to owner: try playing traditional Chinese music. It might increase your business. 8/20/2014 Update: I never received an answer to my letter to the owner about playing Christian radio music and the abovementioned flaws in my experience. So I've never gone back. read more

I came in here just looking for a decent fast Chinese lunch stop. What I found was an astounding orange chicken. This chicken had good pieces of Orange rind and chilis, well breaded and perfectly saucy! Combine this with a plate of pork fired rice that was well seasoned and not too oily. The service was first rate and prompt. And to top it all off was that I got a good fortune. I don't know what the negative reviews expected I got generous portions and great service. I wish I had a place like Ginger's where I live. Austin read more

I was lured to this place because of the 4.95 lunch specials. Unfortunately, there was nothing I liked on the menu that was considered a lunch special. No big! I ordered the Mongolian Beef, Pot Stickers and a Dr Pepper. First, lets start off with the drink. They bring you a glass of ice and a can. I assume that if you want refills you have to pay for another can of soda. This is just my assumption since I didn't ask and I wasn't offered another refill. The only refill I got was for my water. If I would have know refills were limited for the soda, I would have saved myself the overcharge for the can of soda and just drank water. I asked the waitress if it was possible to get no vegetables for my mongolian beef. I've made this request at other Chinese places without a problem. She kind of beat around the bush and said that it didn't really come with a lot of vegetables. Just a couple of onions and peppers. Alright, I could tolerate picking those out! The pot stickers were supposed to be an appetizer but came out nearly the same time the course did. They were pretty delicious though! Probably some of the best pot stickers I've ever tasted, so props for that! My food was an extreme disappointment though. It was a heaping mound of onions and peppers. I dug around with my fork, asking myself that annoying tag-line, "Where is the beef?" I think there were maybe 10 small pieces of beef in the entree. The rest was just vegetables. The place is pretty decent, I wouldn't mind going back. read more

My mistake in coming here. I ordered Tofu with Broccoli. Not only did I have to pay extra for the steamed rice, I paid an extra $2 for water chestnuts, of which they added like 3 to the meal. There were also 4 pieces of broccoli in the whole entree and the sauce was not vegetarian. (I wish more Chinese restaurants were conscious of this, having a vegetable dish but then the sauce is made with hella beef broth??) It was so bad I only ate half of it but it still made me sick all night and I woke up with intestinal distress and early morning trips to the bathroom. I will NEVER go here again. read more

I would rate this place a 4 if there were more vegetables in the rice and chowmein. Who wants to eat cabbage. Very skimpy with the veggies.

Great menu selection and really good food. The ginger sesame chicken and singapore noodle dishes are my favorite.

Wtf!!! Worst restaurant ever!! Look at the picture I posted. It's supposed to be Mongolian beef. Taste disgusting. We are never going back. Don't cut corners, spend the extra buck and go somewhere better. read more
