5. Ginger and Scallion Fish pot
Robert S.

September 2020, I went with two other people to give Red Ginger another try. Third visit since the new management took ownership of the restaurant. These were my impressions: - Red Ginger had a nice list of Authentic Chinese dishes before, not now. - The new waitstaff and lady at the front are not very friendly nor knowledgeable. I asked for something regarding the menu and none of them knew the answer. They had to go inside the kitchen to ask the chef and it took like 5 full minutes for this.... - The scallion pancakes had no scallion taste whatsover. Usually they come with a soy sauce dipping sauce, they are now giving you DUCK sauce for dipping sauce. - The Fish with Ginger and scallions does not come in a clay pot anymore, there's almost no ginger, 90% scallions. Taste was not as good as before either. - Pan fried noodles with roast pork was ok, but the pork was dry and bland. Not very good tasting. Very disappointed and that was probably my last visit. They had close to a year to keep the quality of the former food and kitchen and it is now focused on standard American Chinese fare, not Authentic.

A bunch of delicious food

The food here doesn't make me sick everrrr. I have been coming here for years. The inside is very cute & peaceful for dining, the prices are $ veryyyy decent , they have a small bar anddd they have the best wonton chips with duck sauce ever. Deff one of my go to places for take out BY FAR.

Crab rangoon
Andrea P.

In search of the perfect spot for Chinese. It was middle of the road. We got chicken pad thai, boneless chicken fingers, crab rangoon and dumplings. The crab rangoon was very good. I won't order from anywhere with crappy ones. The dumplings however were really greasy, we ordered fried but now I'm wondering if we got steamed by mistake. The boneless chicken fingers were pretty over fried. Overall not terrible but I've had better so had to give it three stars.

General Tso Chicken White Meat
Chinese Food I.

2 1/2 stars. Today for lunch we did take-out from Red Ginger in Johnston. They have been around for 20 or so years now. The last time I had Red Ginger was in or around 2009/2010 I knew exactly what to expect, and what I expected is exactly what I got. They do a good job with their General Tso and Pork Fried Rice. We also did a round of Steamed Dumplings. I can't measure places by their Dumplings as it wouldn't be fair. To put it short I like what I like, not top priority at Red Ginger. They are good, but not the best out there. They have served the Johnston area with pride for many years. Red Ginger is a nice place with a really great & friendly staff. Red Ginger is a solid restaurant. They are uniquely themselves, they have great reviews on the internet, and a loyal following. Enjoy, ChineseFoodInRI.com

Red Ginger Special Chow Mein and the Salty Shrimp/Squid combo. Yum.
Mary K.

Can't complain - food is always good. Came for lunch early Saturday with my sister. The only problem is it's located in a small strip on a busy street with other store fronts with limited parking so parking can be a hassle. We ordered the chicken corn soup, not too many places make this so we always get it when we come. Nice velvety texture full of corn and chicken bits..yum. For entrees, we had the Red Ginger Special Chow Mein and the Salty Squid/Shrimp combo. The Chow Mein is our usual here - done just right, crunchy veggies, nice combo of meats poured over a bed of crispy noodles that soften over time. The salty squid/shrimp wasn't what we were expecting, thought it was going to be a lighter not so floury batter but still tasty enough with a little kick. We were the only ones in there and my 2 yr old nephew was a bit angsty but they were very accommodating - service was great! Nothing calms down a 2 yr old like a free fortune cookie, lol.

No they're not grains of rice, I had multiple others check

Found actual maggots in my beef teriyaki! This place doesn't even deserve half a star!!!

Do you always offer hair cuts between cooking meals? This is absolutely unsanitary!
Jamie W.

The new owner turned this place into a unsanitary place to eat! I was going to place an order until the pictures of maggots in there food was on Facebook from a very realiable source! Then tonight they are cutting hair in between prepping meals!

Only got the vegetables not the noodles. Disappointed to say the least. I checked to makes sure I ordered what I wanted and it should of came with noodles.

Beetle on the piece of [10. Chicken with Cashew Nuts]

I hate to give bad reviews but BUGS in my food from Red Ginger has brought me here. I ordered cashew chicken for delivery and was on my third bite. It was delicious by the way, but not good enough to hide a beetle in my food. I'm sure they make other great dishes but that doesn't take away from the lack of hygiene and cleanliness. I'm scared to go back :(

Chef Yao - C2. Steamed Chicken in Chili Sauce

Someone had recommended this place as their favorite authentic Chinese restaurant, so my wife tried…read moreat that same week. We were not disappointed. The host/waiter greeted us with a friendly smile and brought us to our table. I was definitely overwhelmed by the menu. Before ordering I already knew I had to come back because I just wanted to try so many different things. My wife and I, after much head-scratching, decided to go with the salt and pepper squid, and the cumin beef. They were delivered by a charming woman from the kitchen with a big smile on her face. The human beef was perfect. I've ordered it from places where they used too many of those small red chili peppers in it, but this had a well balanced amount of spice for us, a nice kick, but not HOT! It had the perfect amount of cumin and Szechuan pepper, with just the right amount of green peppers and onions. If you aren't a salt fan, you probably already know to avoid something called salt and pepper squid. On the salty side, but it's supposed to be! It was served on a some crispy cellophane noodles with a really tasty mixture of diced vegetables over the top. I couldn't figure out how they had prepared the diced vegetables, but they were delicious. My wife and I kept putting them on our rice. They have a dish that I had only read about, squirrel fish. I absolutely have to go back so I can try that. It looks amazing.

Lovely, non descript, clean and welcoming. I researched this…read moreplace and it's description is "authentic "... and it truly is. I ordered the double pork.. came out beautifully served in a pot, delicious with peppers and note this.. spicy. But I like that! Scallion pancakes were great as were the delightful, ethereal, chicken fingers/ puffs. Left me asking the question, how did they do that? Portions were excellent as was the service. BYOB... enjoyed a nice sauvignon blanc.

I wanted something different for dinner and this place has been on my list to visit for a while…read more There were plenty of parking spaces to choose from. When we went inside, there was only one other party there and no music, so just whispers and the sounds of utensils against plates. There are about 4-5 booths and 1-2 regular tables to choose from. Since l am not familiar with Sichuan cuisine, I had Al help me choose my dishes. I went with the dumplings in chili sauce, fried rice, eggplant in garlic sauce, and chongquin chicken. While we waited, we were given water. The dishes came out at different times. They first served us the dumplings which were really good. The sauce they were in did have some chili sauce, but it was mostly like a sweet soy sauce and really tasty. It came with about 6 dumplings with a perfectly cooked wrapper and filled with flavorful pork - simple but delicious. Next was the eggplant. I was expecting a heavy garlic presence, but it was more like a sweet and sour sauce. The eggplant was very tender, but really hot so we had to wait to let it cool down a bit. The rice came after. I honestly think this was one of my favorite dishes since it was perfectly cooked, great flavor, and good portion. Lastly, the chicken came out. There was a large pile of chicken, but half of it was peppers. The chicken was cut into little bite sized pieces, each fried perfectly. Some pieces were more tongue numbing than others but it was nothing aggressive; very gentle and comfortable numb. I would have liked if there were music, but the no music was fine too; an escape from chaotic reality. Our total was around $50, which wasn't bad for the amount of food we got. I would come back to try other items.

I have been on the hunt for the best crab rangoons in Rhode Island and this place came highly…read morerecommended. So I stopped in the other day in between some errands. At first glance, you don't see much from Elmwood Ave, but veer to the right and everything opens up on the left, with a parking lot in the back. Ornate statues lead you to the entrance, and once inside you are instantly greeted with bold colors and beautiful art everywhere. I wanted to take the opportunity to try some Cambodian food, so after some quick research, I opted for Beef Lok Lak, which happened to be one of the lunch combos. I chose fried rice and nime chow for my lunch options and settled back to wait for my feast. They bring you a complementary pot of hot tea, which I enjoyed. I believe it was a straightforward unsweetened black tea. Perfect for me. Before long the rangoons arrived. I literally said "wow" when the runner set my plate down. Beautiful golden brown, small bubbles visible all over the outside, promising crispy goodness. And it delivered. What I didn't expect what the slight chewiness to the wrapper that enhanced the experience. The filling was super creamy and delicious, but I prefer my rangoons with scallions as well. However, that didn't stop me from enjoying every bite. Then my lunch came. The beef was perfectly cooked, the dressing tangy and peppery. The nime chow was herby and super fresh as it should be. And the rice had this extra depth of flavor that made me think of tomato paste? A lovely addition the dish. I had a great meal here and the rangoons are definitely worth having! I'm looking forward to coming back and trying more of their menu!!

Reliable and consistent. The food is always good. Sometimes you may have to wait…read more The portions are huge and the prices are reasonable, even when ordering through Uber Eats. I've never had something I didn't like from here.
