I have basically one request for you, EE-Sane: Put a Pad Kra Pao on the menu! P.S. My photo highlights a review from below. I saw it and had to comment. Now, probably almost anyone can see that this person probably has no idea what Thai cuisine is and may have thought he was at a Ponderosa or Old Country Buffet. But, Eduardo M., thank you for these bits of beautiful poetry: "After The Old People Customers Die, They Will Not Be Able To Go Back To The Restaurant." Yelp, you really, really should allow reviews to be both downvoted and comment on. It's an insult to businesses like EE Sane to have nonsense like this in their profile that no one can counter (save by the way I am now).

Ok, so, I kinda loved my experience at Lucky Ginger from beginning to end…read more Myself and my dining companion dropped by without reservations and were able to get a spot at the bar. That said, I'd likely get reservations were I to stop by again. They're a bustling little spot and saw several groups who weren't able to get a table without reservations while we were there. Where we sat at the bar, we were able to see the kitchen and our food (and others) begin prepared which was fun to see (and also nice from a transparency standpoint). Let me tell you--they are hustling in that kitchen! I began with a berry smash whiskey cocktail which was refreshing and fantastic. For my dinner, I got the bbq salmon which came with a salad to start and rice and asparagus on the side. Everything was fresh and flavorful. The only small note I had was I would have loved more asparagus but honestly, I could probably ask for a side of that next time to amp up the veggies. The service was lovely and the prices were reasonable. Get to it!

Absolutely awful service. We came in at around 5:30pm, and the place barely had anyone there. We…read moresaid we didn't have a reservation, so they said we had to sit at the bar. So, we did. But luckily my husband quickly checked well before we were served and saw there were reservations available online, so he booked us one on the spot. We were then given two excuses, one by the bartender and a different one by the host as to why they couldn't honor the reservation: (1) there were no tables available for us (note the place was half empty, but we supposed maybe there were lots of reservations coming later--nope, the place was still half full by the time we left); (2) we had to make the reservations 30-40 minutes in advance and we didn't do that so even though we did have a reservation, they couldn't honor it because we made it too soon to the reservation time (WOW--complete BS). We were peeved but decided we should just enjoy our dinner. BUT as we were finishing up, about 5 couples came in WITHOUT a reservation and both the host and the bartender gave each couple the option to either sit at the bar or at a table. When I confronted the bartender about it, she claimed "they weren't supposed to do that." WHAT?! She literally just offered a couple a table without a reservation. What do you mean?! It was insulting. Anyway, we will absolutely NEVER come back here. The tip we left was solely for the kitchen staff who were hard at work and doing an honest job. Bartender and hosts are discriminatory and awful. Do NOT recommend if you are looking to be treated with respect. Would give zero stars if that were an option.

Amazing food, but what stood out most was how they handled my son's shellfish allergy. Finding an…read moreAsian restaurant that can safely accommodate this allergy is incredibly rare, and they went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable.

This visit we enjoyed their signature Xiao Long Bao (Shanghai Soup Dumplings), Szechuan Spicy…read moreWontons, and Yãn Su Ji (Taiwanese Salt and Pepper Chicken), and each had a Sake Flight. While the Xiao Long Bao is quite good, it is not great principally because the dumpling wrappers are twice as thick as the best versions of this dish making them chewier and very doughy. They are also so large you cannot enjoy them in a single bite and inevitably need a small bowl for leakage as you're eating them because you will make such a mess. Naturally, you want the ball so you can drink the broth that ends up in it. The Szechuan Spicy Wontons have a wonderful seasoning and sauce, but frequently are overcooked so the wrappers are a little too soft and mushy. I prefer them slightly al dente. The Salt and Pepper Chicken is consistently the best executed dish I've had there. Also known as Taiwanese, popcorn chicken, these bite-size lean pieces of chicken are perfectly fried and satisfying crispy. We were both surprised with how much we liked each sampling in our Sake Flight -- $12 (5oz) they went from dry to sweet as you would expect, and our biggest surprise was how much we liked the sweetest variety. Here are the three that were a part of our flight Kenbishi Kuromatsu, Gekkeikan Traditional, & Moonstone Coconut Lemongrass Nigori. An additional note, the service is generally exceptional, but the hostess stand tends to treat you as a customer to be processed not a guest to be welcomed. The interior is very basic. The tables are comfortably spaced by distance, but the bench seating is too crowded. Getting up to use the restroom feels like you're on an airplane where you're uncomfortably close to other diners.

Looks unassuming but once you go inside it looks much more welcoming. Staff was helpful and fast. For appetizer we ordered the crispy squid. It was the right crispiness. The presentation was a little lackluster with one lettuce leaf taking up a third of the rectangular plate, but the flavor was pretty good I ordered the duck pineapple curry and it was so good. Don't judge a book by its cover, all their food so very tasty. The cleanliness Of the restaurant could use some improvement. A little detail I'm looking at some litter and under the cushioned seats go a long way for making a guest feel comfortable and sanitary. Overall great experience, but Could use some improvements in some areas. Food is very tasty, presentation was alright.

If you like a little bit of spice I really enjoyed the Happy Chicken specialty and (of course) the DanDan noodles are a must.

So many delicious things to split between friends My absolute favorite dish they offer is the walnut shrimp.

I completely agree that this isn't authentic chinese food, but approachable fusion that tries to keep it truthful to the flavors and presentation. The highlight of the meal was the peking duck, which they only have about 2 orders of a night. We snagged it immediately when we sat down and it can easily feed 4 people with the sides. The duck was juicy and cut into thick pieces, so it was more of a steak rather than a bao style that I am used to. Nevertheless, it was delicious and even warmed up well the next day. The green onion wraps were...strange in my opinion. They fell apart easily and didn't have the best flavor that complemented the duck. Overall, I would come back for the duck itself, but everything else was average or extra salty. Service was great and the staff are very attentive. Happy eating!

It's one of those restaurants that has stayed consistently good over the years, which is why I keep coming back. My favorite is the Massaman curry with chicken and fried rice. It's always full of flavor, comforting, and exactly what I'm craving every time I order it. What I appreciate just as much as the food is how welcoming everyone is. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by several staff members with a smile, and that friendly service makes every visit feel like they're genuinely happy to see you. If you're looking for a place with delicious food, consistently great quality, and people who truly care about their customers, I highly recommend stopping by. After all these years, it's still one of my favorite places to eat, and I'll happily keep coming back.

I had ordered a cup of Tom Kah and was delivered and charged for a bowl of soup, which was a big price difference. That was a tad annoying just because we had nearly four different people approach our table to check on us to start. The timing of our dishes was off as well. I received my Pud See Yew and it was nearly 10 minutes until the Pud Thai came out and when it did the food had a horrendous burnt taste. We did send it back and they gladly corrected it, but at the same time something seemed off with communication. Our servers were nice, but they filled our waters like 30 times - every time we took a drink it seemed. Although very attentive, felt a bit overdoing it and didn't allow us to chat consistently without interruption of asking how is everything when we didn't really have food yet. I would come back because the food was so good.
