We have been here several times. The food is so good and their appetizer, crab rangoon, is so yummy! We've always received good service and sometimes kitchen slow but worth the wait. read more

Very limited options to start and the Szechuan chicken was too sweet with not enough spice. It wasn't terrible that's why the 2 stars and not 1. The cleanliness of the place would get a ZERO! It's absolutely disgusting. See picture of the wall beside our table. The table topper looks like it has YEARS of grime built up on it. They have literally never wiped it down. This place should be ashamed to be open for business with how filthy it is. read more

Terrible service. I ordered a roll, clearly stated it was for takeout, and then ordered a second roll to eat in the restaurant (I told the server I was staying and the takeout was for my dad). I waited 30 minutes--nothing came. Turns out, the roll I was supposed to eat there was in the sealed takeout bag. On top of that, they gave me the wrong roll--ordered a Royal Ginger with modifications and got a Wild Ginger instead, which doesn't even have the same ingredients. When I brought it up, the server called his wife and tried to hand me the phone to talk to her...? He refused to remake the roll and made me feel like I was the problem for not knowing it was in the takeout bag. If you want the wrong food, zero accountability, and an awkward call with someone's spouse, this is your spot. I won't be back. read more

We love the eggplant-tofu dish and green tea. The ambience is modest but a great regional option for really good Asian food.

Their service is always excellent the many times I have taken my family there. The food never varies and it is always well prepared. They always make sure you have enough clean utensils or if you prefer chopsticks wrapped so they are new. I drink lots of water because I am diabetic and they check frequently to see if you need more water or anything else. Their tables are always clean! Also I noticed they have handicap parking right outside their front door. read more

A Disastrous Dining Experience at Wild Ginger Asian Bistro My wife and I recently had the misfortune of dining at Wild Ginger Asian Bistro in Lancaster, Ohio, and it was, without a doubt, one of the most disappointing restaurant experiences we've ever had. Ambiance and Cleanliness: Upon our arrival, we both noted the "rustic" exterior (as real estate agent Marge Simpson would say). It looks like they haven't updated or upkept the building since the 1970s. When we entered, we were immediately struck by the lackluster ambiance with décor that felt both dated and uninspired. To make matters worse, I managed to trip over the step leading to the raised dining area, which seats maybe two dozen people (not including the bar). Perhaps there's more seating somewhere else in the restaurant, but we didn't see any. The entire setup felt cramped and poorly thought out, adding to the overall disarray. Service: The service was abysmal. We were seated promptly (it wasn't busy), and our drink order was taken. This experience was extraordinary, though not in a good way: instead of simply writing down or remembering our order, the server turned toward the bar (no more than a dozen feet away) and yelled our order to the kitchen staff in her native language. This became the standard for every interaction we had, each time shouting orders across the restaurant rather than addressing us directly or with any semblance of professionalism. If that wasn't distressing enough, I had ordered a lemon-lime soda. However, after another long wait, I was presented with tap water instead. When our server finally passed by again, I politely requested the correct beverage, only to receive yet another glass of tap water. After a third attempt, my wife intervened, only to witness the server fail to deliver the correct drink once again. The staff's complete indifference to our concerns and their total lack of courtesy made what should have been a simple dinner an aggravating ordeal. Food: If you've read this far and can believe it--we haven't even gotten to the most egregious part of our experience yet! The food wasn't just bad; it was an insult to the concept of preparation itself. In fact, it seemed as though the kitchen staff was unprepared to serve anything resembling a decent meal. My wife ordered the Shrimp Fried Rice, and it was a complete travesty. The few shrimp (a meager three) were scattered on top of a humongous mound of rice that could hardly be called "fried." As for my "Sizzling Steak," it would more accurately be titled "Overwhelming Onions." I found four or five slivers of meat buried beneath a mountain of onions and a few lonely red peppers. It was almost as if the chef had a deep personal grievance against anyone expecting a well-balanced plate. Overall: I would strongly advise anyone considering dining at Wild Ginger Asian Bistro to think twice. Our experience was nothing short of disastrous, and we will certainly not be returning. There are many other dining options in Lancaster that offer far superior food, service, and value. Wild Ginger Asian Bistro needs a serious overhaul in every aspect of its operation before it can even begin to call itself a reputable dining establishment. read more

Philadelphia roll tuna is chewy so chewy it makes me gag and it taste like fish not sushi, and it's Saturday night. I don't understand it. My chicken lo mein came with no chicken. I asked for soy sauce to the woman's face. She put no soy sauce in, but told me there was soy sauce in the bag. I ordered the wonton soup. It had 2 1/2 wontons in it. If someone begs me to eat here again, I will refuse. read more

Tasty food and good service. The restaurant is spacious and well decorated. Plenty of usual options for Asian food but there are some items I found unique to this place. Price for some items seems about normal for what's average and others a bit more. All in all, this is a great "sit down" Chinese spot as opposed to a take out or buffet and will be worth a stop in. They have sushi options and a bar! read more

Average at best. Service was terrific. The furniture was a little dated. It wasn't very memorable. read more

None of the food we ordered was particularly flavorful. We got the sweet & sour chicken & general Tso's. The sweet and sour sauce was super liquidity and not sweet at all. The chicken was heavily battered, but the meat was good and cooked well. All and all not bad, but lacking flavor. The general tso's was okay, but again not a lot of flavor. I will try this place again because nothing was bad, but would try something else. read more

Had twice. Once was done in. Very fast service and the food was DELICIOUS! The second time was a call in order. The lady took my order then said ok and hung up. I called back and asked to make sure she got my order since she hung up and she said ok and hung up again. So we showed up and they did get our order but the communication was definitely lacking read more

Meh. Food was okay. My Mongolian Beef was nothing bad. It was mostly onion. My wife got a dish of giant bread balls with chicken inside. It kinda sucked. The building itself it a bit edgy, it needs some maintenance. Drinks were okay. It was just nothing great. read more

We stopped into Wild Ginger after getting my COVID vaccine at the mall. The restaurant has all of the Asian feels and super cute decor. My daughter and I started off with some edamame. I then ordered the pick three lunch special (Christmas Tree roll, Crunchy Spicy Tuna, and Shrimp Tempura). The pick three lunch special also comes with a soup or salad. I picked the hot and sour soup. Everything came out quickly. The hot and sour soup was super yum! The broth was nice and thick and the soup was full of mushrooms and tofu. The only roll that I was not a fan of was the Christmas Tree roll. It was not what I had expected. Our server was pretty friendly. We will definitely be back again when we are on that side of town! read more

Let's start from the beginning. After traveling for 10 hrs it was time to check Yelp for a dinner recommendation in Lancaster OH. As my friend love Asian it was an easy choice to come to Wild Ginger Asian. We were greeted upon arriving and seated promptly, that is were the good times ended. We were seated at a table next to a window and immediately noticed the filth on the blinds, and the general unkept appearance of the dining area. Our waitress approached in a very business like manner as if she were in a big hurry, did not greet us and we placed our order. We ordered Vietnamese spring rolls, that arrived the smallest I have ever seen with almost no vegetables and had been sitting out waiting to be ordered. Next we ordered per the menu a Spring mix salad with avocado for $7 and what we were served was a teacup amount of iceberg lettuce with two spinach leaves and a sliced half of one small avocado. The sad part of this review is this was the only edible part of our meal. We then ordered Hot and Sour soup and Wonton soup, the Hot and sour was a greasy beef broth mess and the Wonton soup was a thick , pungent off putting broth with unidentifiable wrapped noodles alleged to be wontons, the menu indicated bok choy, which was omitted. The soups were removed from the table promptly by the server and not one word from her as to why it was not consumed, she apparently could care less why we did not eat it. The final insult was the entree Sesame Chicken and a bowl of cold white rice $14. The batter fried balls of white meat chicken was dry and tasteless, mostly batter and most likely fried, frozen and reheated. The sauce was sweet and tasted like nothing to do with Sesame chicken, 5 raw green beans were added to the dish. The lack of care and respect served to the customer was evident and we dined at 6:45pm. The server noticing that the food with the exception of the salad was uneaten promptly began to remove the plates with Zero concern why nothing was consumed. We eat Asian cuisine frequently all over the US and this was the worst. I am too busy to write such a long post, however we felt that it was necessary to let the public know that this cannot be tolerated. I asked the server if she was the owner as she was directing staff and shouting orders, as well as cashiering. She replied No and told us our bill was $41.10, which we paid and left as hungry as we came. This is a Zero star post, even the restroom was filthy. read more

I have lived in the area my whole life and decided to try wild gingers for the first time last year because previously I didn't know if I would like sushi or what they had and I'm so glad I went and tried it. I love it now, they have such fresh fish and a lot of other great options. I got the sushi dinner the last time I went and it includes a cup of soup or a salad, 12 pieces of chefs choice sushi and an egg roll for only $22, it will feed 2-3 people. It is a very calm atmosphere if you're looking to go out for nice calm dinner. There was no wait to sit down and we were greeted by our server immediately. Sushi lovers it's worth the stop and for anyone wondering if they would like sushi I recommend trying it here! read more

The food is good but it seems like every time I try to come here there is something in the food. Either hair in my food or a fly in my water. Good food but not if you want gross extras thrown in. read more

Interesting older building that could have been a cool funky Italian joint back in the 70's, but anyways on to the current occupants. Standard sushi offerings with the "fusion" type rolls added in for flair and good amount of entrees to choice from. Decent quality fish in the rolls and firm and plump shrimp in the noodle dish with good overall flavor. Service was nice and casual in a sparely filled dining room. I could see this place getting a little rowdy in a good way if things were back to normal. read more

I ordered take out from here for lunch and was pleasantly surprised! Since I was doing takeout I ordered my usual Philly roll since I'm not very adventurous when trying a new sushi spot. I ordered online through Easy Street and it said my food would be ready in 15 minutes, but it was more like 20/25 as I had to wait once I got to Wild Ginger. The Philly roll was great though & I know I'll definitely be ordering it again and possibly the Lancaster roll and their crab Rangoon in the future. I didn't see much of the inside but it looked cute and quaint! read more

I was in a road trip and grabbed food to go. The portions, price, and flavor was great! I believe I got a spicy level 4 - it was not Thai spicy which was a bit of a bummer but it did pack delicious flavor so I wasn't disappointed. The tofu was amazing and I appreciate their attention to detail in regards to modifying the dish to ensure that it was vegan. Would love to go again! read more

Online menu is very easy to find and read. Went for the Buckeye Triple Delight, white rice, and tried the pork egg roll. Ordering was easy, food was ready in 10 minutes, and were greeted upon our arrival. Food was ready in time and we were on our way in less than a minute. Portions are plentiful, and food was excellent. I will be a regular patron. read more

Ended up here at the last minute, after being "grossed out" by another local establishment. Was on a Weds night, and establishment was surprisingly empty. I sat at the bar, and was served right away. I decided on the King Pao shrimp, and an egg roll. Kung Pao shrimp was spicy and delicious. Food presentation was very nice. Everything was extremely hot and fresh, including the egg roll. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was that they left a little bit of tail on the shrimp. I'm not sure if that's customary, but getting the little tails off with a knife and fork, after everything is covered in Kung Pao sauce, is not an easy task. Would recommend, and will be back. read more

I didn't have high expectations for a sushi restaurant in Lancaster, OH yet they still managed to disappoint me. I placed an online order via yelp app. Pulled into a completely empty parking lot. I ordered the sashimi dinner..which is supposed to be pieces of fish, a side, AND sushi rice. I could maybe understand if they were super busy and forgot the rice but how do you forget to give me the rice when there are 6+ workers in the place and 1 order to get right? I called them and the lady offered me credit for future order...I don't know how she expected me to get this since it would require me going back to the restaurant. As for the food, the sashimi tasted mushy. Not fresh and firm. Hot and sour soup was ok. Much thicker than most hot and sour soups...they use plenty of corn starch for sure. I wish I would have driven the 25 minutes to a real sushi place and spent 30$ on a meal worth it. read more

Wild Ginger Asian Bistro - Piss poor sashimi dinner...and they forgot the rice. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Lancaster, Ohio

First of all the place looks outdated and its very shady looking building. We order soft shell crab and it looks so small for $8!! We also got 3 speciality rolls and it was alright. They used either old sushi rice or just plain jasmine rice so the rice they use is not fresh. The server rushing us whenever she serve our food. For that kind kf service and food the price shouldnt be that high. Better off with sams club sushi read more

This place is awesome. They space you out so no worries about the pandemic. Their food is delicious and beautiful! Great service, friendly staff! I had such a great time going on a date with my husband here. We will definitely be back. read more

I SO love to support local, independently owned restaurants. I was excited to check out this place w/ the good reviews since I'm no from the area. Where to start...there was a black thing floating in my water glass, the replacement glass was foggy dirty, the egg roll was bland and greasy, the fried rice wasn't fried...it was pale and also bland, the chicken for the sweet & sour chicken was also greasy beyond belief. They say the restrooms are an indication of the kitchen, yikes, I will never step foot back in that place. The only saving grace for the whole experience was my dining partner and the hard working server named Katherine. read more

Do not go to this restaurant because you will regret it. The tofu was crunchy and the food was bland. I also felt like I was sick after I ate there. The place is a dump and it and looks are not deceiving in this case. read more

Where do I begin? We wanted some GOOD Chinese.... We ordered online for a pick up. $43.00 later, I was expecting a yummy,tantalizing dinner. I was VERY disappointed. My daughter and her husband got sushi and General Tso's chicken. The sushi was warm and needed to be refrigerated before she even tried it. The General Tso's tasted Nothing like General Tso's traditionally tastes like. Fast forward to my sweet and sour chicken, I chose it because I purposely did not want anything spicy. I but into it and it was so spicy I couldn't eat it. I was thinking that at least I could eat the fried rice, but alas, NO. It was sticky white rice with some peas in it....I ended up throwing my whole dinner away. As did my daughter. And don't even get me started on the restaurant! I walked into a dark restaurant through the side door which was propped open. There was another front door open to so you had guests I two places for pick up. Looking around I noticed how dilapidated and dirty it was. It was very sad as I remember Billy Crickets and Grilli's which were previous occupants of that building having nice ambiance and good food... will not be back. read more

Food is always good! I moved to Ohio from California and have struggled to find Asian food that is fresh with lots of flavor ‍. A friend introduced me to Wild Ginger and I've been hooked for a couple of years now. My mom followed me here to Ohio and it's her favorite place to eat. I can't find any other Asian restaurant so far that puts such a good variety of fresh vegetables in their dishes. Their sauces are so flavorful - the wok glazed ginger is our favorite we get it every time. I've had sushi and even some curry dishes they have on the menu, everything is amazing. Never disappoints! read more

Such a GREAT Asian bistro! Seriously some of the best I have ever had. The Hot & Sour Soup is Unlike any I have ever had. Service is good and we have never had a bad meal. Portions are large. read more

Warm tones, dark wood to accent. Big bar area. Lots of wines to offer along eighths alcohol. Decent amount of table seating. I didn't feel crammed in at all. Thanks to Mike G's UYE at Fortune Chinese a few years ago, I was then introduced to the best damn Crab Rangoon I've ever had, at Fortune. Since that inception, I usually get this appetizer dish everywhere I go now, in hopes that I'll find a formidable opponent for Fortune's. Wild Ginger's Rangoon? Not to par. Here's is the sweet cream cheese concoction. Tasty, but I want the real sea meat. Interesting presentation of the Rangoon: the extra thin rice paper bunched at the top of each morsel was a tad overkill - no need to eat the extra filler. I haven't had my favorite go-to Chinese dish in quite a long time, so I figured I'd try it here: Sesame Chicken with brown rice. The sauce was interesting. Hints of... teriyaki remnants? Sweet, as opposed to tart, which I like. The dish is supposed to come with string beans. Mine had three. Hmmm. The seemingly skimp breaded chicken pieces where quite the contrary with a very thing crispy fried coating and fresh, juicy, flavorful chicken packed in. Two thumbs up! Chatted with the waitress again before leaving about their alcohol offerings, for those interested. They have the regular Bud, Yingling, run of the mill liquid. More interesting, they have Chinese sour beers that are unique. Also, lots of wines. Service was great. Decent prices. My meal was good. They're are a few other dishes, and sushi/sashimi offerings, that sounds/looked good, so I wouldn't mind a trip back here! Besides, this is a far step above Panda Express. read more

Some of the scariest sushi I've ever been served. I wouldn't eat it cause it smelled gone bad. They didn't care. Lackluster service

What a find! Thank you Yelp for helping us find this gem! We were traveling from Athens to some errands in Lancaster and looking for an exciting place to eat. This is the place! The food was fantastic!! I'm from San Francisco so I'm a big snob when it comes to Thai food & sushi & Wild Ginger is over the top delicious! Ashley, our waitress was so warm and welcoming. We instantly felt like family. She really understands excellent service and obviously adores her job! My date really enjoyed the exciting cocktail selection and enjoyed a new beer he had never had before. This place is worth this drive! read more
