Pho
Kennan K.

Pho with FLAVOR! And all the accompaniments that are necessary for enjoying your Pho. They also have some really tasty Satay with a tasty papaya salad. Super quick service with a smile! They are a clean and well prepared establishment.

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

Steaming Chicken Pho

Great food on a beautiful day on the porch. Quick and helpful service. The food is always great

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.

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

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
Nadchen A.

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.

Chicken Pho Noodle Soup

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.

Had never heard of it nor read a review but I'm always up for an experience without prior judgement. My wife and I decided to sit outside as the weather was cool. The male server who I'm pretty sure was either an owner, partner, or manager as his enthusiasm was intoxicating apologized as he's not had time to blow the pine needles off the patio. It wasn't a problem or negative for us. The menu looked great with plenty of options. I'm not an Asian expert but I simply like great tasting food. I ordered the L-10 Cashew Nut with Shrimp. My wife ordered L16 Spicy Eggplant with tofu. So we sat chatting for a bit when our server returned with two partly filled small cups of what he described as coconut soup. We hadn't ordered anything so this we assumed it was an amuse-bouche. After taking one spoonful we looked at each other and thought, we need to get a full bowl of this. It was one of the most incredible soups I've ever had in my life. And yes, I'm gushing over soup. While I don't know the actual ingredients other than a slice of mushroom and a few slices for green onion, the coconut and lime flavors in this clear broth is something we're still talking about and that was 2 days ago. For those who don't care about soup, the Spicy Eggplant and Cashew Nut were also incredibly delicious but next time we go, we've already decided we will order a full bowl of the Coconut Soup.

The vibes in the place are great too. The first night we had Jess. Jess is great - took amazing care of us. We did have a couple issues with the way the food came out. The manager got involved, and I have to say they take excellent care of you here. Excellent enough that despite our issues we came back later in the week. Jess wasn't there, so we got Xander and she also took excellent care of us! We explored some new tastes and sat on the patio, enjoying the view. Definitely a place we will return to, next time we are in Asheville.

It's Bourbon Thyme is a fantastic cocktail that paired really well with every item we ate too. We started with the wedge salad, which had. A lovely ginger dressing. The Tuna Tataki is a must, really nice rolled slices or raw tuna with the peppers and the ponzu sauce, truly amazing. The shishito peppers were wonderful and nicely charred with a great dipping sauce. The seabass may have been the tastiest item, the butter sauce and roasted lemon sauce was exceptional. We finished up with the carrots and bbq ribs, which were crispy on the outside but tender as you bit into the rib meat. Service was stellar as expected for any Michelin rated restaurant. I'm def coming back here soon, the bar looks nice and they have nice Ramen bowls and other items I want to try.
