    Love Wild Ginger! One of our local faves! The food is consistently great, comes out fairly quickly, and the staff is friendly. Highly recommend!

    Service, food and atmosphere are amazing! Great spot in South Asheville. Will definitely be back.

    Classic vegetarian spring roll

    On a cold day a bowl of hot soup is just the ticket. Even though the place was busy our service was just fine. The seating area is comfortable.

    I'm once again visiting my son in Asheville, & Wild Ginger was our lunch destination. The workers couldn't have been friendlier. That really stood out. As we were seated, I eyed all the food on other tables, & I knew we were in a great spot. I ordered "Tofu stir fried vegetables in light coconut sauce". I also asked them to make it a little spicy. The dish arrived & I was one happy camper. The curry & coconut & spices & lime & myriad of different vegetables harmonized very well. And the serving was decent size. I totally loved my Wild Ginger moment.

    Visiting Asheville, or anywhere out of town really, I always make an effort to check out that city's pho spot. This restaurant was solid for the most part. More authentic than not. The menu actually had items in Viet...which typically entails a good sign. The pho was fairly good and I really appreciate the sides/toppings you ALWAYS look for when having pho. Their sauté was probably some of the best I've had and appreciate them even having it. Good amount of noodles and good amount of meat. The broth was solid, nothing amazing but definitely made due for a pho craving. The menu is a good side with many options. We got their wings as an app but was too sweet to eat it all and had too much of its sauce on it. The service was really good and everyone came off kind and polite. A medium sized restaurant, would come back.

    Tofu Banh Mi + sweet potato fries

    My friend recommended this place saying that this was her favorite Vietnamese place in the area, so she took me here. She said that usually there was a wait time for a table but when we got there, we had no wait at all. I got the Tofu Banh Mi + sweet potato fries and it was great. The sandwich was very tasty, the veggies were fresh and crunchy, the pickled veggies inside the sandwich were executed well. The amount of filling in the sandwich itself was just right. I was also pleasantly surprised to see Filipino desserts on the menu too. Next time I'll have to come back and try them. For me, I wish there the fry portion size was a little bit bigger considering the price. But other than that we had a great time. Service was excellent and always checked up on us. Also our food didn't take very long to come out as well. We felt well-taken care of. Thanks Wild Ginger! I'll be back when I'm in Asheville again :)

    Just cuteness inside front door.

    My daughter and I have eaten here multiple times and will continue to return based upon the excellent foods they serve. The restaurant is simple, but very cute. They do a tremendous takeout business with people coming in constantly picking up multiple bags of food. Every time we've gone there, the takeout is rapid and large while the restaurant is also full. Our waitress was very kind. She explained things to us as I wanted to try something new. My daughter is a pho fiend, as am l, but a Vietnamese fish sandwich hit the spot. My daughter got the seafood pho this time and said it was absolutely delicious. Her portion was extremely large, even though she purchased a small, she brought almost half of it home. For the first time I had a fried fish Vietnamese sandwich. It had the most delicious marinated vegetables and cilantro on top of a fresh bun with a super crispy piece of fish on the sandwich. I was only able to finish half. Yummy more for later!! My daughter raved about her pho And my Vietnamese sandwich was absolutely incredible and with the best fried sweet potatoes ever. Now to the good part. A few visits back my daughter, and I shared a dessert that we had never seen or heard of before. It was so good. We've gone back twice and they had already run out of Sapin Sapin. When we went this time, The first thing we said is there any Sapin Sapin !! She said yes, and we begged her to put ours aside (not to take a chance) because the restaurant was so busy. It is one of the most colorful, beautiful desserts you've ever seen layers of dark purple, green and white, but that says nothing about the flavor. This is melt in your mouth deliciousness go there just to try, Sapin Sapin you actually don't need another reason lol. Multiple people sitting on either side of us ask us what we were eating when they saw it. People see it on the menu but don't think to order it and that is just disastrous lol! Unless we're there and there's only a little left then please don't order it. Please try out wild Ginger. It's nestled in a small shopping center easily accessible with free parking. It's now become a regular on our list of restaurants.

    Friends recommended Wild Ginger after our return from Vietnam. Apparently, the prior restaurant at this location served Vietnamese cuisine? Service was good and the setting comfortable and casual and busy last Monday at lunch. There is also limited sidewalk seating outdoors. Our meals were good but we were spoiled after having just returned from vacation.

    This is a true hidden gem in Asheville! This restaurant changed hands about a year ago now, and…read morethough I had not tried it prior to the new owners, I can't imagine it getting any better! I love Thai food, and will honestly take any chance I can to have some, but this place is something special! The restaurant is pretty simple, it is in the corner slot on a strip mall, but the inside is very clean and peaceful, it also has an outdoor covered patio that overlooks a beautiful pond which makes for a wonderfully relaxing environment for a quiet meal. Thai chili is a small family owned restaurant, like all the best spots are, the servers are some of the nicest people I've met in a long time, and the quality of the food is unmatched in Asheville! The red curry has a wonderful thick sauce and perfect flavor, ingredients are always fresh, and I highly recommend the spring rolls, ginger stir-fry, and the pad-kee-mao. If you like spicy food, make sure to ask for the fried chili oil, they make it fresh in house and it is far better than I have had anywhere else. They also have fresh Thai birds-eye chilis which make for a wonderful side or topping to any meal. All in all, if you're in the area, make a stop here. It is well worth going a bit out of the way if you're in the mood for Thai food. The prices are good, the people and atmosphere are wonderful, and the food can't be matched! I can't say enough good things about this place!

It was a nice night and inside was considerably louder. Our server was kind and friendly and went out of her way to make our evening enjoyable. A creative and fun menu is here, we tried a variety of things the night of our visit. Sushi, burgers and a bar. We started with the Dumplings appetizer along with some garlic herb Edamame and it was very good, we asked for eight shrimp and they were glad to adjust for us. Crispy and a nice crunch. It was a nice beginning. The soybeans were fresh and hot with a nice flavor also a good start. Next some Toro and Hamachi Sashimi, both were fresh and flavorful. Along with a California roll, it was true to type, nicely rolled and good flavor. Next I had the Sweet Heart Roll, an impressive presentation and work of art. Simply delicious and so flavorful. This was an excelleny choice. Then the Madness Fries, a pile of seasoned fries with a mound of shredded carb on top. This is simply insane, it was such a delicious bowl and the combination of salty fries with sweet crab. A winner. My partner had the Vegan, a beyond burger patty on a Millet Chai bun the way she wanted it and said it was very good too. We tried several different items and each was very good to better.
