We knew we wanted spring rolls and wontons, so we ordered that when brought water. We decided on the seven flavor beef for the meal to split. The two apps came out quickly. The wontons were SO GOOD. And the spring rolls were well done but nothing special - solid sauce. The beef came out at the perfect time, right after we finished the apps. And Woweee! It is so good! The beef is tender and flavorful with the crispy lettuce underneath and delicious spices. It went well with the rice, which was perfectly cooked average white rice. We had enough beef left to make one more meal with our own rice. We will 100% be back and are so looking forward to the beef, wontons, and perhaps something new!

Their menu is really easy to read and understand and they are very friendly and quick. They give you a buzzer you can take with you and go find somewhere to sit which is great. We decided to try the rice noodle soup with beef, potstickers and donuts. The soup was amazing. So much flavor and packed with lots of noodles and beef. You get quite a bit for what you pay for. The potstickers also had lots of flavor and was the perfect texture with just the right amount of crisp. The donuts, oh wow. These are amazing! I would come back just for these alone! They were served hot and drizzled with a perfect amount of sweetened condensed milk, they were so good. Our food came out quick and hot and for how much food you get and the quality of food you get it's definitely worth it. We will be back!

The setup includes a couple of food trucks and a covered beer garden with seating. We decided to grab our food to go since the weather wasn't cooperating, but everything still tasted amazing back at our hotel. We ordered vegetarian dumplings, vegetarian fried egg rolls, chicken dumplings, pork Chinese buns, and chicken rice noodle soup. Every dish was flavorful and fresh. The soup in particular had a rich, comforting broth with tender chicken, noodles, and cabbage. Portions were generous, prices were reasonable, and service was fast. The woman working the truck was friendly and welcoming, even with the wind and rain coming down. We will definitely be back next time we are in Bellingham. If the weather is better, we will stay and eat in the beer garden. This place is a great find.

Meals are anywhere from $12-20 per person but you'll be able to share a plate or have left overs! The menus are hand written with cute drawings, the dining room is filled with bamboo and cherry blossoms; perfect for a date night! While the dining room itself is rarely packed, there can be occasional longer wait times as all the food is cooked upon ordering. Ginger Boat is my new go-to place and I highly recommend it!

We stepped up to order. After placing 1/2 of our order the host mentioned there is a 30 to 45 minute kitchen wait time due to online orders. WHAT. We only have 45 minutes before we have to leave. I then noticed the small sign about chest high on a post showing 30 min wait time. Having a business open at 11:30 am and 10 minutes after opening they can't handle walk-in patrons due to orders online means they have too small of a kitchen to handle all the orders. This is a good reason never to come here again. Good luck to them.

**Review for Ono Kitchen and Bar**…read more Ono Kitchen and Bar is a fantastic spot that offers Latin dance lessons on Thursday nights from 7:30 to 10:30 PM--highly recommended for anyone looking to learn some new moves! The watermelon and crispy pork belly starter was to die for: juicy and perfectly fried, truly heaven in your mouth. The kalua pork tacos were decent; the bao bun was perfectly fluffy like a cloud, but they were a bit greasy, making them slightly soggy. However, the flavor was still great. Our server answered our many questions about drinks and food. Overall, I recommend Ono Kitchen and Bar, especially for the dance lessons and for grabbing a few drinks and bites afterward.

Four stars - Good…read more We went here for dinner on a Friday night. The restaurant is in a great location with lots of parking nearby. The restaurant is below a club, so it was quite loud at times. That did not bother us, but I can imagine that would be frustrating for others. If that would bother you, I would recommend going earlier in the evening before the club opens. Our server was friendly and checked in on us periodically. We got the edamame, BBQ pork bao, and chicken pad Thai. The food was really good; it was fresh and hot. I was so hungry that I forgot to take pictures. We would go here again!

The Chicken Pad See Ew and Basil Chicken Rice were standout items. Will definitely come back for them.

When they opened many years ago, there was a lot of well-deserved local buzz. From stunning decor to one of the longest sushi conveyor belts I've ever seen, it was worth a visit just for the visuals. But the food and service were inconsistent, and I ended up never going back after my first few tries. Fast forward to the other night, my daughter and I did a mini "sushi hop" and ended up here. I have to say, I was pretty darn impressed! The conveyor belt was still just as long, and the ginormous sculpture (imported from Thailand IIRC) was still looming over the place. But they seem to have settled into their groove after so many years in business here in the Ham. We enjoyed a variety of options from the belt, including a few tasty rolls, as well as some nigiri ordered off the menu. Everything was fresh, hearty, and delish. I thought the prices weren't too bad, either. I will definitely look forward to visiting here again next time I'm having a sushi craving. I do want to say something about the service, as I noticed some recent reviews have mentioned problems in this area. On our visit, our server was very responsive and the special menu items we ordered came out quickly. So, at least on this particular night, there were no issues for us. Hopefully they're working on this!
