Mango chicken at top, Kung Lao tofu at bottom. Yum!
Lara K.

We are hooked on this place. Food is excellent, decor and ambiance are a notch above the usual, and service is stellar! I love how easy and clear the menu is. Flavors are great. We've loved the Soya broccoli with tofu, mango chicken, Singapore noodles, pork potstickers and basically everything we've tried. Plus, we're fans of the twins who run the place. They are super personable and helpful - and wow, do they hustle! My hubby and I think they should rename it Twin Ginger in their honor. We are regulars now - we can't stay away!

Pineapple Fried Rice

The food is absolutely delicious and presentation is top-notch. Our server was courteous and informative. The dining area is clean and has room for large parties. I would absolutely recommend coming here for dinner or lunch. It's well worth it.

Wonton Soup
Andy D.

My wife and I have been coming to this location for years and it's never been as good as it was last night. Wild Ginger finally gets it right! I started with a bowl of Wonton Soup. It was the best I've ever had. There were plenty of wontons and they were LOADED with deliciousness. California Roll came next. Fresh and absolutely delicious. Chicken w/ Cashew Nuts for my entree and SURPRISE - it was so good! FRESH ingredients. The fried rice that came with was so, so good. The texture of the rice was perfect. I am blown away by how good everything was. I've come to expect nothing better than average from this location but it looks like an ownership and name change was all they needed. I can't wait to go back!

sushi and sashimi for two
Jennifer A S.

I was craving good sushi again, so went back last night and ordered the sushi and sashimi for two. It did not disappoint! The fish is so fresh and has perfect texture. The selection included more than the usual salmon and tuna - we love the suprise goodies! So darn good! And -of course- the service is top knotch every time. Tempura icecream was a fun way to top it off.

I took my daughter to lunch here today and it was absolutely amazing. From the service to the food to the experience everything is wonderful 10 out of 10 I It was such a peaceful atmosphere! Will definitely be coming again. This is some of the best sushi I've had in Columbus.

Rice $16 total of $79 on an order for bad food!!

Baddddd as hell!! expensive no good presentation, no taste no Chinese flavor anywhere

King lobster roll and too is the special.
Allie A.

Beautiful place and service. Exceptional food. Very welcoming and kind waiter, sold me on the king Lobster. It was spectacular. I'll be back.

We had an amazing time at Wild Ginger! Everything was sooo fresh, made to order, and the food was so good I almost forgot to take pictures! The sushi recommendations were spectacular, the general Tso was perfect, and the craft drinks were phenomenal! Absolutely cannot recommend enough! The plum wine and margaritas were a must!

Brittany F.

Giving three stars because the service was really good, but man I was disappointed by the food - which I would give a 2.5. The reviews were so good so I arrived with a full appetite and sadly still left hungry. The positive - the wonton soup was excellent! Definitely the best I've ever had. Everything else left much to be desired. I also ordered the spring rolls and teriyaki chicken with fried rice. The spring rolls were good at first bite but there was a strange aftertaste we couldn't pinpoint. Still not entirely sure if it was the actual spring roll or the sauce with the aftertaste. The teriyaki chicken was so bland. It looked absolutely delicious so it was disappointing to realize there was no flavor. My cousin ordered the general tsos chicken and shared the same sentiments about her chicken tasting bland. I agreed upon trying as well. The fried rice also didn't seem fried? It actually just tasted like it was covered in butter but was definitely missing the soy sauce. And the mixed vegetables tasted freezer burnt. Overall I'd give 3 stars just for the really great service but probably wouldn't return for the food.

General tso chicken: Not too sweet which is good, but could use more flavor. We got take out, so got a bit soggy
Michael D.

Food was ok. Could use more flavor They took our order 30 mins prior to closing, which was good

House salad
Cassandra R.

Stopped in for Sunday lunch - it was delicious! A large space with plenty of tables for groups of all sizes - it's casual but very clean. The wait staff was attentive and knowledgeable. And our food was great! I got the sesame chicken with white rice and the salad. I really appreciated the all white meat chicken - it was moist but the outside was crispy and not overly breaded. It was on the sweet side but not something I minded. Others in my group got the Szechuan chicken and General Tso - both were a hit too, and on the spicy side if that is more your taste palate! Would definitely come back.

General Tso with green beans and brown rice.

My girl and I stopped here Christmas Day (very few places were open) and I'm upset with myself for not trying this place sooner. I live a mile away and drive by here a thousand times. My business partner said she ate here and it was amazing, so I was excited they were open on Christmas. Beyond impressed!! I was in "EAT EVERYTHING" mode so we ordered the Fried Gyoza, Salt n Pepper Calamari (amazing!!), Beef Yaki Udon and she had the Asian Grilled Chicken Wild Ginger. The Gyoza was cooked perfectly and dipping sauce exactly as I like, little sweet and salty. I have a shellfish allergy but Calamari doesn't bother me and I love the Salt n Pepper flavors. Huge pieces of squid fried in a batter that literally had me addicted at first bite. The diced onions and green pepper on top added to the eye as well as the taste. Definitely my favorite. My beef Udon noodles had a nice brown sauce and tender pieces of beef. Again just perfect. Her Asian Grilled Chicken with Thai Curry...now I wish I had gotten it!! Flavor TOWN. Amazing with brown rice. I finished mine and the rest of hers lol. So today is Wednesday and I finished working early, so I wanted to stop by again. My go-to, General Tso chicken, brown rice and Miso soup. This place doesn't miss!!! All white meat lightly battered (more chicken, less breading) with the sweetest sticky gingery sauce meshed perfectly with the brown rice. I was going to take an "after" pic of my plate but I'll hold back lol. I live close to the Polaris Mail so I've always went to Molly Woo's. The food there is good ands service is always great. I've officially found my new favorite place for Chinese. You can't beat the quality of food, attentive service, ample parking and full service bar. Extensive menu also includes impressive sushi selection. Stop and try Wild Ginger. Let me know if you agree!

Buckeye roll, Tiffany roll, spicy tuna and more

The food comes out pretty quick considering they are making the sushi by order. I love their sushi options. If I can, I'll get the otoro (fatty tuna) and it's some of the best around Columbus that I've tried so far. They also have delicious cocktails that are well balanced.

Midway through my meal, they came around to light a candle at the table, which added such an intimate touch, and gave cozy date night energy in the best way. In fact, I believe I was sitting next to a couple having their first date. 2. Plating (4.5/5) The presentation did not disappoint. Everything came out looking polished and thoughtfully arranged. The edamame stood out because they generous with the flaky salt, which I personally loved. Sometimes places hold back, but this was well seasoned. 3. Customer Service (2.5/5) This is where things started to fall apart a bit. I stood at the front for about 12 minutes before being acknowledged, and the restaurant was nearly empty. I had to make eye contact with someone in the kitchen just to be seated. Service at the table wasn't much better. It took about 15 minutes just to get my drink order taken (which I had to flag the waitress down to order), and by that time I was ready to order my whole meal. I ordered an appetizer along with a couple of sushi rolls and some sake. I'm not sure if the waitress wasn't thinking about it, but she brought my rolls out before she even brought out my appetizer or my drink. The inconsistency was noticeable and took away from the experience. 4. Overall Taste (4.5/5) The food absolutely carried! I ordered a sweet potato roll and the Hoonie Roll, which ended up being my favorite part of the meal. Both were fresh, flavorful, and really well-balanced. Paired with the edamame and sake, everything came together nicely. 5. Overall Experience (3.9/5 ) Taking everything into account, the experience lands just under a 4. The food and atmosphere were strong, but the service created a noticeable disconnect. It's definitely one of those places where you'd go back for the food, but you'd hope the service catches up next time.

We were there around noon on a Sunday so they were not very busy but that was okay with us. I had made a Resy reservation because they recommended it. The interior is decorated very well and the light is slightly dimmed for a nice ambiance! They have really nice, and solid, dinnerware and glassware. We started with the crab rangoon tarts, 3 in an order, and the edamame. The tart shells were so buttery and the filling was the usual luscious crab mix. The edamame comes with salt or spicy, we chose salt. There was enough for all 3 of us. The drinks we chose were the Gin & Tea and the Lychee Martini. Both were delicious and the foam on both were handshaken and so creamy. The Gin & Tea was a surprise winner and I highly recommend it. We ordered 5 rolls. The Naruto, Center, Fantastic, Tiger and Dancing Salmon. I love Naruto rolls without the rice and nori, instead wrapped in thinly sliced cucumber. This one was well made and stayed together when using my chopsticks. It allows the fish to shine! The Center Roll had spicy tuna and a topping of avocado, masago and spicy mayo. It's what you would expect and well done. The Tiger Roll has a mix inside and on top. Each bite was a little different and delicious. The Fantastic Roll was just that! It had a lobster salad inside and slightly scorched Japanese scallops on top. The smokiness of the scallop was surprising and delicate and complemented the sweeter lobster salad. The Dancing Salmon roll had eel inside and salmon outside. I'm not a huge eel fan but this roll I ate and enjoyed. I hadn't had good restaurant sushi since NYC and this was up there with it. The quality of the fish, the server, the host and the overall atmosphere will bring go me back!!

They came as four slices and were ok, followed by Miso Soup, Edamame, Crispy Tuna with Truffle Oil and the Shrimp Tempura. All of which were satisfactory.

The atmosphere and decor of the restaurant was very beautiful and aesthetic. Overall a lovely place to visit on our last night in Columbus.

Often the conveyor belt would come through with no choices available it almost felt like winning the lottery when there was food available from the belt. Compared to Hokkaido this is night and day. Kind of like the difference between a Holiday Inn and a Marriott Marriott. Both our hotels, but the experience is very different between the two. Also, I prefer Hokkaido because it is truly in all you can eat not because I want to eat a ton of food. It just is that I don't have to be conscious about the number of plates. I'd take from the conveyor belt. Also, there are more options besides sushi. The sushi itself was mid grade at best. I wouldn't call it good but it wasn't bad. I think this place caters is more towards families with children who are there more for the experience and not necessarily for a decent meal?

The first Oishii is far off my usual routes, so I haven't gotten there though I heard it's good…read more This one opened up near campus last week, much closer to me. And after that soft opening with a regular menu, this week they introduced an all-you-can-eat menu as well. So of course I got there as soon as I could. Quite an extensive menu for AYCE too, though not as big as their standard one. And full of interesting stuff. Nigiri, raw rolls, cooked rolls, deep-fried rolls, specialty rolls, apps, ramen, hibachi, and more. I wanted to try everything, but even though I arrived hungry I just couldn't. Maybe 25 years ago I could have eaten twice as much, and when the students hear about this they will clean them out. It's just down from where Japanese Oriental Restaurant used to be, and I used to save up and pig out there with my friends. Now I eat a bit less, but I still figure I had about $60 worth of sushi for $30. I started with seaweed salad- big portion, and very tasty. Fresh and a little spicy. Then unagi- two big pieces, excellent, tender and flavorful. Then maguro- good, melt in your mouth. Next I tried their "dragon eggs"- deep fried avocado with kani and tuna. OMG. Again, a big portion (two whole avocados, halved and stuffed. Finally, two big rolls: the High Street roll with spicy tuna, and the Seashore roll with salmon, kani, and more. Wow. Big, and tasty. Best sushi in town? No, but up there. Really good. Service was great. They open at noon, at least on weekdays, and I was the first one in. The decor is cool- it's an old house, and they have made it modern but with vintage touches. The bathrooms and waiting area are super cool. There's a bar off to one side, a sushi bar in back, and lots of sleek but comfy seating. Also a huge patio and courtyard out front. Free street parking out front (except during rush hour.) Also a small lot in back. Get here. If you like sushi, or other Japanese food, you'll like it. If you like a bargain, you'll love it. $27, yes, not cheap; but for sushi it's not bad, and for AYCE sushi it is a steal. A cool place to hang out, not far from campus, and drink, and eat good food till you're stuffed.

Atmosphere was modern and soothing. You can get ramen, cooked dishes like tempura, salads, all kinds of things. There's a full bar as well, and areas with cozy or romantic seating. The design was actually pretty cool, you could eat with a group or sit up at a bar by yourself and feel very comfortable either way. The sushi menu itself includes more traditional Japanese sushi, which honestly is what I'd recommend from the AYCE menu. They even have sashimi, which is cut thinly- which is fine, if you want more you can just order more, that prevents excessive waste. Most AYCE places wouldn't offer sashimi anyway. But the traditional sushi, sashimi and rolls were the ones we liked best. The more Americanized rolls with the alternative (non-nori) wraps were not as delicious, in our opinion. We couldn't figure out what it was, whether it was the wraps or an ingredient in the chopped sushi roll fillings. But there's a ton on this menu that was good. Will eat here again. Oh and a short note on large groups- maybe this is not the spot to go with a massive group? It's more of an intimate dining experience, although they do seem to allow big groups. I only mention this because I saw a negative review about slow service for large groups before we went and then the evening we went a group of maybe 10-12 college students impatiently waited by the door to be seated, even though the servers were polite and had to wait for multiple tables to clear at the same time to push together seat such a large group in a smallish restaurant- the patrons kept coming in and trying to sit at random tables before it was their turn. If you have a massive group I'd say split into multiple tables or maybe choose a different, larger or chain restaurant, like El Vaquero or Buffalo Wild Wings? Anyway I hope they left a good tip because the workers were very professional and the group was very large and very impatient.
