    Ginger salad
    Tom M.

    I tend to only bother giving positive reviews of the places I like. This place on the other hand I feel I should give a heads up. The sushi was inedible. Something was off about the tuna to the point where I couldn't swallow without a fight. I'm sorry. The staff were very nice and seem to be authentic. Perhaps I caught them on a bad day or I should simply try something else. The prices were actually decent, that's why I wanted to come here instead of the one right on the main road. My girlfriend reluctantly ordered the chicken. She didn't finish hers either. I'm pretty sure I learned my lesson. Listen to her next time she says "I don't know about this place" lol.

    Food was fine and server was great. But the owners wouldn't honor the specials on their website (pics attached). First, she pretended not to understand me. Then, she said it was carry out only (it isn't). And finally, she tried to say it's not her website. All were untrue. With all the great options around, we won't be going back. May be harsh, but any trust is gone and we won't give money to them.

    Crispy Calamari

    Not sure why I'm giving it 2 stars but here goes Customer service: Poor. It took the waitress 20 mins for each step (sitting, drinks and food and ticket). I couldn't even hear what she was saying. She wasn't attentive at all. Kept walking around us and attending to other stuff with only 3 tables. I literally had to walk to the hostess stand just to get the ticket to pay to leave. I asked for a cocktail comprised of 6 different ingredients and she said they don't do mock tails despite I was only asking for you not to add the vodka. No discount, no alternative price. Food quality: the calamari was so little and not all like the picture online. It's more batter than calamari. So crunchy and the sauce wasn't good either. Parking: this is the reason for the stars I guess. It's located in a hustling and bustling area in downtown Decatur with ample shopping center parking. I've been 3 times and 2/3 were bad I won't be back.

    Panang Curry lunch. The egg was a nice surprise

    I like Green Ginger. What's not to like? The prices are excellent, as is the service and portion sizes. I went here a few years ago with Sharon M. And have been coming ever since. Today I had the basil chicken and the pad see ew. Both were tasty. I could have used a bit more heat in the basil but I'm sure I could have asked for some hot chili oil. The noodles were great and the portion was HUGE. I wish for maybe a few more pieces of broccoli but that is just a personal preference. I recommend this place for a business or fun lunch especially-dinner is probably excellent as well I just haven't tried it. I did notice that they have a rotating happy hour menu/specials and that is always welcome. My friend got the noodle bowl And it looked amazing so i will try that next time.

    It's been awhile since the last time I came. So, I decided to go and grab some sushi. The place was too hot to eat indoor as if the air conditioner was set on 75 or 76 degrees and it's 90 degrees or so outside. To charge customers that much money and can't spare air conditioner is RIDICULOUS!! The food is great as usual BUT realize if you order sushi, they have gone really cheap on rice when they wrap it in a sushi!! I normally order their tiramisu for dessert and they are usually decorated with design and cookie stick. Definitely not today. They changed so much since I last came especially eating with no air condition!

    Ocean Roll
    Angelica D.

    I'd honestly give them a 2.5 out of 3. We came here after a last minute change of venue for a birthday dinner. I've been to the restaurant years ago when I worked in the area and wasn't impressed then. Sadly, not much has changed. The coconut soup was ok. I added shrimp which was an additional fee and literally received only 2 shrimp. The crab Rangoon was way too sweet and almost inedible. The ocean roll was fine, but nothing special. I tasted some chicken from my husband's teriyaki chicken and steak dish. It was rubbery and gross. On the bright side, they do serve really strong drinks. Everyone in our party enjoyed the drinks. Although I probably wouldn't return, I will say that they accommodated our large party at the last minute. Emily was our server and she really tried her best, but another server should've been assigned to assist her.

    My husband and I wanted some mid day lunch so we walked down Ponce De Leon and stumbled across this Asian Fusion restaurant. We ordered a super crunchy roll, chicken/shrimp lo mein, chicken & shrimp Pad Thai, soup and salad, and the steak (strip) teriyaki with fried rice. We also ordered some cocktails Rock you like a hurricane and a Strawberry cocktail that were pretty good. It was very good and the lunch prices were great. The ginger salad was amazing. There weren't alot of people there so customer service was good. There was also an up charge to add shrimp to the lo mein of $5.49 but it came out as a side of shrimp fried rice our server was new, he did well but was a little confused at times about what food was coming out. We ordered the Pad Thai to go but it came out at the beginning of the meal. Overall, the food was really good and I would go back.

    Upon Entry, there is a beautiful waterfall that is so peaceful. The outdoor patio( weather permitting) is An Asset to a Great Demographic. Indoor Dining is Classy comfortable. The Labatorys Are Always Immaculately Clean.

    When I think about Asian fusion, my mind sends me directly past The Green Ginger. I've been frequenting this establishment since the early 2010's. When Mulan closed the location on Juniper St downtown, I was looking for an alternative. I happened to get a recommendation from a friend about this place. The restaurant was a whole vibe and the staff has been top notch. This is one of the better tasting fusion spots in the Decatur area. Their portions are plentiful and the many different dishes are robust in flavor. This isn't a hidden gem anymore, so stop by and give them a try!

    Green Ginger Roll
    Julie R.

    This place worked out great for a quick weeknight dinner. I love that they clearly indicate if an item is gluten free on the menu. So helpful! This restaurant is Asian Fusion, which means that they have a variety of Chinese, Japanese, Thai, and Korean dishes. I had the Philadelphia sushi roll (my fav), the Green Ginger roll, and a glass of Meomi Pinot Noir. It was delicious! I have ordered Panang Curry from here before and I was happy with it as well. The service was excellent!

    Interior was nice and clean. As soon as I walked in, the hostess just told me to find an open seat which was confusing because I thought it was a restaurant. Service was run by one poor waitress who was clearly overwhelmed. She did a great job running all the tables despite having nobody help her. I visited during their lunch hour which offers a lynch special that includes spring roll and miso soup. Spring roll was a tiny bite size but still appreciated the crispy roll. Miso soup was way too salty. Panang curry chicken 3/10 - watery curry, boiled chicken with bell peppers, I would recommend trying something else

    Lunch special thai curry dish, rice, spring roll and soup $11.95!  (Nov 2023)
    Michael W.

    I had bought 2 Groupons here. The restaurant has been sold and is under new owners. The previous was a scam, but the new owners are good! I went for lunch. They have lots of lunch specials of either 11.95, 12.95 or 13.95. They come with a spring roll and small soup. The coconut soup is a soup option with these special and REALLY GOOD. They have 3 sushi on the lunch specials with the highest being 13.95. I appreciate good prices! Many restaurants I have to let go due to soaring prices. The place has a nice restaurant atmosphere. Its downtown Decatur. I will be going back as I like to have many coices and get more coconut soup! Even though it was rather full I got a parking spot right outside the entry door! Free parking.

    What a quaint spot!! Came tonight for dinner with my mom. Parking was easy, but it is Wednesday. Heart of Decatur. Walked right in- masks required! Seated on the patio & was greeted by a very nice young man who got our wine, was super friendly & fun!! I ordered the 1/2 Thai BBQ Chicken with steamed rice & it was REALLY good! Flavor was great!!! Mom got sushi & said was very good!! We got Shumai appetizer, another great dish!! Big menu too; Chinese, Noodle Bowls, Thai, Sushi. Some seafood... didn't notice salad but I wasn't looking. Relaxed, quaint & delicious!! Check it out!!! We are coming back!! Thanks for a nice evening, I needed it.

    Heavy on the sauces with their food. Way too rich. Had a pineapple chicken and several other dishes. Nice ambiance but food is lacking.

So you'll be able to sample many different types of noodle/rice dishes as well as stir-frys. If you love boba tea, you'll be delighted to know they have a small to medium selection. We ordered Tonkotsu Ramen with Char Siu. I like the serving portion. Looked small but actually very filling. The noodles were sufficient. The broth was tasty but could do with less salt. The egg that came with the Ramen was hard-boiled, I wish it was soft-boiled (6-min egg) but it's ok. I loved the bean sprouts, green onions in there - lifted the dish. The Char Siu was seared to perfection. The other order we had was the Chinatown Lo Mein. Again, the serving looked small but was sufficient. Overall a little sweet, which is unusual as most Chinese noodles aren't made sweet. Thus this was a twist to the dish that I did not like. We also ordered 2 drinks: Yuzu Lemon with Strawberry Popping Boba & TDAK Dragon Fruit Fizz. Both were too sweet. I took both home and added more ice & water - 4 drinks for the price of 2! Yay! I wished I could request for 50% sweetness.

For a bowl of rice, probably equivalent to 10 cents of what they paid for it, meant to be fried rice which I asked for, it was white rice, and less than a middle finger, exactly what Tin Drum gave me, amount of chicken. It was supposed to be sesame chicken, no sesame at all. I paid so much for nothing. I'm really upset and need a refund. Food worth half what I paid. Now, the service, or lack there of. This place is so cheap, they charge for everything and give nothing. I wanted a drink, $3.25. I want a side of sauce that they could have given on the side? $2. For it to not even be good food, they have lost it. FYI, Yelp needs to not partner or offer codes for this place because I checked in, it said free crab cheese roll. They did not honor it. I don't think I have ever been somewhere so cheap they did honor a Yelp check in promotion. The crab roll was as small as your thumb, and not even good, because I paid for one. I already spent $23, you refuse to honor that a $2 nasty flat crab roll? New low. This eatery, because places like this need to be called what they are, a place to eat. They're not even on par to be referred to as restaurants, is trash. No exaggeration. The entire staff is trash. The dude with the dreads, the fake manager with the braids, the owners relatives in the back cooking TV dinner food for over $20 a pop, they are all awful and corrupt and have such nasty, don't care, attitudes. I remember Tin Drum opening at perimeter years ago. It was better service and quality. I'm mad at myself for giving them my money. Never again. I will be requesting a for a refund. I didn't finish the food. Do not ever eat here. Go hungry first. They price gouge and wouldn't give away a prayer even though it's free. Horrible service. I know customer service is dead especially at these eateries, but this is a new level. Just nasty. Negative stars for this one.

I actually got a text about 30 mins before our reservation that our table is ready, which worked out perfectly because we were just waiting around anyway. We were seated right away upon checking in.

We grabbed a few items from their happy hour menu - bang bang shrimp (only 3 pieces for $8 but they were nice big pieces) and purple sweet potato fries (my favorite of the night. Battered with tempura, covered with salty and was so good)! We ordered additional items - calamari (it was nicely cooked and soft), katsu bun (my hubby's favorite as the bun was soft and the pork was thinly pounded and crispy from the breading, pork kimchi fried rice (I opted for no egg. Had tons of pork pieces but really no kimchi flavor and was definitely on the sweeter side) and green beans (nicely cooked with bits of char with a sweet sauce). Their must-get drink though is the Thai tea martini! And for dessert we ordered additional items mango sticky rice. The rice could have been cooked a little longer but loved the mango sorbet and coconut cream it came with. We really enjoyed everything and looking forward to the next time we come back.
