I usually enjoy the food from Red Ginger - it's tasty, a fair price, and generally has reasonable delivery times. But tonight, my lo mein was so burned that I couldn't eat it. My boyfriend also tried it and couldn't eat it because it both smelled and tasted like ash. Really disappointing. read more

Best carry out ever! Their hot and sour soup is perfect, their cashew chicken has lots of cashews. Mushu pork, Peking duck, it doesn't matter what it is. Consistent and absolutely delicious. read more

I enjoy the vegetarian selection here. The dumplings are good too!!

A great place to get some authentic Chinese food;fast and at a good price. Can't tell from the outside but its is exceptionally clean and have a wide selection of dishes. Staff is extremely friendly. Definitely coming back ;) read more

Great experience overall and we will definitely be back. We dined in and the food was made promptly! The lady at the desk was courteous and efficient. She answered a few questions and we got just what we wanted. It's kind of in a divey neighborhood with limited parking. But the inside was clean. Chicken Pad Thai was wonderful. We'll probably skip beef and broccoli next time to try something else. Pretty steady stream of take out orders. Our biggest complaints would be no drink fountain/ water cups and no high chair for our baby. But those aren't deal breakers so we'll be back! read more

Quick takeout & the staff are always smiling. Kung Pao chicken is our favorite. Egg rolls are also very good. Great flavor and good portions. We always have leftovers. read more

In my opinion, these folks need to go back to school to learn how to create asian sauces and properly use asian spices. Their sauces seem to be stuff out of a can, with no personal touches. Their basic food quality is OK, but their sauces and seasonings are sorely lacking in body, complexity and flavor. The Egg Foo Young sauce tasted old, off and burnt. The Kung Pao sauce was spicy vinegar only. The Spring Rolls I had were overly salted. The Red Ginger Special Egg Roll has good spices and flavor, but an odd texture. The Fried Rice dishes were actually good, but lacked complexity of flavor. The staff does seem very pleasant, so we are hoping for the best when perhaps various seasonings and ingredients are easier to obtain. read more

Top-notch Chinese takeout. Food is always ready quickly and is freshly made and piping hot. I haven't tried any of the Thai dishes, but the standard American-style Chinese food is always on point. Can't beat it in this category. Location is a tad sketchy but look past it and go for some yummy takeout! read more

I didn't have my car and needed delivery so I chose this place of the limited options available. Delivery was very fast but the driver didn't have change for my order so he ended up getting to keep a nice size tip. The prices were good and portions were large, but the food was bland and tasted off. The egg roll and beef in my soup tastes really strongly like how the meat smells before being cooked. I don't know how else to describe it, just weird. The steamed rice was nice and soft but the sesame chicken tastes like it had candy coating. I had to add seasoning to my soup for flavor. Not the best not the worst, I may try something else from there if I'm in a bind again. read more

Red Ginger - Sesame chicken lunch special - Asian Fusion Near Me - Kensington, Maryland

See all

Ordered for delivery--food came quickly and was hot, but it was the worst Chinese food I've had in the area so far. The kung pao tofu was so spicy that it was more pain than flavor, and what little flavor I got was weirdly medicinal and syrupy. The broccoli with garlic was cooked fine, but I don't know why it's so sweet. The veggie egg rolls were fine, but pretty much the sort you'd find in any Chinese restaurant. I'm so disappointed I wasted my money on this. read more

Terrific place for take out or delivery. They have a large menu; I'm still working through it but so far everything had been great. The staff are great and orders have been ready on time. It's now my go to Asian carry out spot for Kensington. Definitely worth giving a try. read more

Above average Chinese takeout. Peking Duck was excellent. Hot and Sour soup is very spicy and tasty. Veg fried rice was fine though not as unusually good as the other two. Prices are reasonable. read more

Man did this place go downhill fast. My fiance and I gave this place a try for the first time a little over 6 months ago, after they apparently revamped their menu and added a bunch of Thai, Vietnamese, and Malaysian items. We were thrilled - their vegetarian Penang curry became a staple for my fiance, and I ordered one thing after another without a single miss for months. Then, the quality of the food started changing noticeably. Dishes that had used the nice sliced "chasu" roast pork switched over to the shredded gray rubbery stuff you see at other carryout places. Old favorites that we came back to were noticeably starchier, bland, and stingy on proteins. The last straw was when they stopped using Penang curry for the Penang curry. We thought it was a fluke and ordered again a week later and got the same flavorless yellow mess again. One final desperate order ended in everyone just throwing out most of their food - it was downright bad. If they have to cut this many corners to sustain a diverse menu, they really ought to consider consolidating their menu to something involving more overlapping ingredients to maintain some acceptable baseline of quality. Sorry for the 1-star review, Red Ginger, but knowing the quality you were capable of renders the current state of things inexcusable. read more

Red Ginger is a great addition to the Kensington restaurants. You have to had grown up in K Town to know what that means. Yes, it is too small, with not enough parking. However, it is a family-type business. It is not innovative street food, or a SF or NY Chinatown restaurant, but the kung pao chicken, lo mein, moo goo gai pan, and egg foo young a slice out of the Big Bang theory. I wish I could have given it 3.5 stars. K Town Carry Out--Now we all know what that means! read more

We were traveling with four kids and very hungry, and found Red Ginger with the help of yelp. The kids devoured their meals, (chicken lo me in, and chicken with veggies) and I loved my lunch as well. The egg rolls are so good! They are more peppery than other egg rolls I've tried, and I am obsessed. I'm just sad I can't come back regularly. The staff is also SO sweet and friendly. read more

Ordered the steamed pork dumplings and Vietnamese steak. Dumplings were good with the vinegar sauce. They were large and delicious. The flavor of the beef was really good but the chunks were so big that I wished for a knife. Four tables to eat in. Pretty good for a dive joint. read more

Food was good. Cashier was polite. Area was a bit sketchy. Wasn't going to go in but it got some good reviews and we were hungry. We might try it again. read more

I've always had a pleasant experience here. The food was great, the egg rolls are delicious

When I called to order they automatically said they don't deliver to me until I had to tell them Bethesda is 2.7 miles and that yes you do deliver. This was a well done pad Thai for a low cost, which is rare. My only concern was that I found certain things in it, which made me concerned if it was all shrimp in my pad Thai... wontons was great! read more

They was fast and nice. Even gave me a free soda for the wait. I was having my car detail around the corner.

Always reliable and fast. You will not be disappointed. It's on par with New York City take-outs. If you're looking for fancy - this is not your place - but if you're up for some decent and quick Chinese - this is the place. Owners are friendly. read more

The Kung Pao Tofu here is the best I've ever had. Spicy, crispy, delicious. I need to remember to post a picture, as this dish never gets old for me. Delivery is on-time and courteous. read more

I went to pick up my Tokyo Chicken (chicken with sweet sauce) and spare ribs and I remembered Red Ginger gives you a free egg roll with any $15 order. I asked the girl at the counter for my egg roll and she asked if I wanted a regular egg roll or a "House SPECIAL Egg Roll". I said "hmm the house special?". She could totally tell I never had one from my reaction and asked while snickering, like she knew my world was about to be changed, "have you ever had a house special egg roll?". I shyly said NO. She smiled while bagging one. I got home and devoured my Tokyo chicken, totally forgetting about the "special egg roll". When I went back to the kitchen to drop the leftovers, there it was, laying on the counter all innocent, the egg roll. I was full but what the heck, it didn't look too big, why not? I bit down and I swear I got goosebumps. It was the most delicious fried food I had in a loooong time. I ate it in tiny bites like hoping it would last forever. It was the perfect egg roll shell, with perfectly seasoned ground beef, shrimp and CHEESE! Unbelievable!, it was more like a really awesome empanada, a chinese empanada! The best part, it was freaking free! Do yourself a favor and order some Red Ginger and make sure to ask for your free House Special Egg Roll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

This was the worst experience ever. I ordered my food over 2 hours ago. After 5 calls back and forth... I was told, "The driver couldn't find you...Sorry." WTH?!?! With smart phones, Google maps, navigation systems in 2015... How is that even possible??? The worst part is that I'm sick in bed which is the very reason I've wasted my time with this place. If I could give this negative stars I would. Get out of the delivery food business if you can't do as you say and freakin' deliver! read more

I came here on a Saturday and ordered two lunch specials. The service was quick and the place was clean, but there wasn't much else recommendable. The food was terrible, and even my husband wouldn't finish the portion he was given. Save your money and go somewhere else. read more

Great place for delivery! Delivery takes a little while, but that's because this place is so popular. I did pick up once and saw it was a tiny place but the food is great and their dinner specials are perfect for a busy night when we don't have time to cook. My favorite is the triple delight! read more

Looks a little off-putting from the outside, but don't let that deter you. The food was tasty and the service is friendly. We are in just because we were hungry, but probably best as a take-out or delivery place since there really is no ambiance to speak of. Me and my ginger approve of Red Ginger. :) read more

The Singapore noodles at Red Ginger are MFD -- that's Mo Fo Deelish for you newbies. And overall, everything we've had here over the past year or so has been fine quality pan-Asian tastiness. The people are friendly and the price is right, but the punctuality of delivery can be hit or miss, so you're best off opting for carryout. read more

Absolutely delicious Chinese...I am a huge fan. Reminds me of my family's favorite place back home in Pittsburgh we've been going to since I was little. I've only gotten delivery but they've been consistent every time. The sesame chicken and chicken and broccoli are great...not as big of a fan of the cashew chicken as it's a little sweeter than I expected. Their dinner specials are a steal too...$7.99 each for an entree, fried rice and egg roll. read more

Authentic... only if you prefer Americanized Pan-Asian-ish food. My wife and I ordered several dishes to go and was disappointed in all of them based on the outstanding reviews we read. Every dish was bland. Spicy wasn't spicy enough. Anything with peanuts just tasted like peanut butter. But I must say, the rice was sufficiently sticky. Maybe we caught them on a bad day? read more

I have had "Red Ginger nights" at least 20 times and the food is always tasty, plentiful, and affordable. Their Pad Thai and Curry dishes are really pretty good along with the standard Chinese dishes and I like that they have steamed offerings for when I want to eat a thousand calories with less fat. The delivery people are always friendly and they have been very consistent about delivery time, food temperature, quantity, and quality. This place hits the spot on those empty fridge nights! read more

Great place...good Chinese food, efficiently prepared, well priced, and generous portions too...

3.5 Stars. I got take out for lunch, the special house egg roll and Szechuan string beans. I think the egg roll really needed to be blazing hot. It was very warm, but the beef fat was starting to seize up. I did like the light taste of 5 spice and the occasional chunk of shrimp, but I'm not fully sold. The beans were AWESOME. Spicy, salty, perfectly cooked, not too crunchy, not too soft. I think this place is a bit of a sleeper. I'm intrigued enough to try again. read more

Tastiest chinese take out place ever. It's kind of like gourmet chinese take out if such a thing exists. The owner is very nice and the place is really clean so it is pleasant to dine at. I particularly liked their ma po tofu and the general tso's tofu. Portions run large here. read more

Four words: THAI STYLE FRIED RICE. Do yourself a favor and get some soon. So good with fresh basil and jalapenos. WOW!

I've lived in SF my adult life and have spent a fair amount of time in Asia. I've eaten some pretty bad Chinese food in the DC suburbs. Red Ginger is good Chinese plus other Asian-American (Pad Thai was quite good according to my wife who has ordered in Pad Thai forever). Fresh ingredients, not too much oil and large portions for a reasonable price. Spring roll so-so. read more

This is our family's go to restaurant for Chinese food. They have the best Peking Duck in the area. Family favorites are steamed pork dumplings, combination lo mein and General Tsao's chicken. We either carry out or get it delivered. read more

Love this place whether for pick up or delivery. Food is consistently good and always give large servings. Priced well. Staff is friendly. Small place but can dine in. Cleaner than most take out chinese places. Love that they also have Thai in their menu. read more

This is my new spot for delivery on in-nights! All of the chicken dishes I've ordered have been delicious. The meat cuts are thick and very juicy, not dry or over-breaded. My staples (fried rice and pad thai) are the same great quality every time. Also, delivery is always timely. Definitely recommend! read more

Portions are generous. Food delicious. We love and recommend the Chicken Pad Thai and the Kung Pao Chicken dinner special. Don't look for fancy ambience though! read more
