I would give this place a 3.5 stars if possible. My favorite items were the Pad Thai noodles, and the dumpling and Satay appetizers. The flavor was good and the texture of the meat was very tender. I found the restaurant to be a bit pricey for the quantity and there are no free refills which is disappointing because the glasses are very small. Overall, it has a nice ambiance and serves decent food, though nothing spectacular. read more

I normally take out from this restaurant, but I love the food. The prices are reasonable and it's very cleaned and well kept inside. Not to sure about the service that why they received 4 stars instead of 5. Their food never disappoints me. But this is also one of my favorite restaurants. read more

I came here two or three times a couple of years ago and the food was surprisingly good. I went back recently because my family wanted to have something different for dinner and not the usual restaurant that we always go to for a good meal. The waiter seated us in the corner of the restaurant even though there was no one there. The lighting was very dark, and the booth looked very old and had many stains on it. When I was about to sit down on one of the chairs, I saw an insect that looked a lot like a cockroach run across the side of it. We felt really uncomfortable, so we got up promptly and left, and had dinner elsewhere. Don't know if the food is still good, but the decor and atmosphere surely aren't! read more

Food is decent but pricey. The place looks very clean and modern.

WILD GINGER. Since moving from the City to Great Neck last year, I discovered that the atmosphere and diversity of Manhattan can be found just a few blocks away. Nestled like a true diamond in the rough amongst Great Neck Plaza, Wild Ginger is a landmark of Great Neck for a number of reasons. My first time at Wild Ginger was a stop to simply grab a drink after work and catch the end of the Giants game. I was met at the bar by a host of people, who I assumed to be regulars, that provided plenty of entertainment while the bartender served up a pristine cocktail along with a laugh. From what I recall, that particular night ended with two victories; a Giants win and my acquisition of the pretty woman's number a bar stool over. Following my first discovery of Wild Ginger, I've been back on numerous occasions. In only a year I've frequented Wild Ginger with visiting family members, on business meetings, and I've even enjoyed a date or two at my newly acquired home away from home. Wild Ginger isn't just a restaurant, it's a jack of all trades. When bringing my elderly grandparents, the staff is patient and accommodating. Business meetings at Wild Ginger start by dining on top-notch cuisine and end at the bar, where Mehdi the bartender will even talk your boss into letting you slide with a sick day! Concerning dates, Wild Ginger has proven to be an impeccable wingman. Bottom line, Wild Ginger offers a Manhattan style atmosphere, with the warmth and friendliness of home, all at an affordable price. Dishes I recommend: The duck w/ pineapple fried rice, seafood ceviche appetizer, and both the Kamikaze and Red Dragon rolls. Recommended cocktails: Mango Mojito, Pomegranate Margarita, and any of the import beers at a very reasonable $5. read more

We stopped for drinks before dinner. Great service and friendly staff. I like the ambiance. We will eat at Elaine's for dinner tonight instead of here because of the reviews, but having viewed this location first hand, I don't know if the reviews are accurate. read more

The dirtiest kitchen workers I have ever seen. They smoke outside the back of the restaurant and was appalled at how they lacked basic cleanness appearance for kitchen staff. Also how filthy the workers are to dump all the cigarette buts all over the community behind the store street and across the sidewalk at the Chase Bank parking lot. My wife said look how dirty there appearance I will never eat there. You really need to see the kitchens staff appearance to only make your own conclusion. Thanks Asian American read more

I love this place, which is obvious because I've been coming here for 5 years now. I highly recommend the chicken n broccoli with ginger it is the best I've ever had. Also this seconds as a saki bar so 5 star all the way. read more

They got my order wrong. Had to wait for them to figure out why it was wrong in the first place then they finally told someone to get me a new order took more than 10 mins. They did give me an extra spring roll because they thought I ordered two. The spring roll was way too oily. Broccoli with garlic sauce had barely any sauce so it was just dried up broccoli. read more

The food was very tasty and fresh but unfortunately, the service was awful. They forgot our drinks, the sake was boiled so much the alcohol was out of it and we couldn't get water, they gave the appetizer to the wrong person and told them it was the right one, they don't wipe the table, you have to ask. They served dessert and forgot the coffee and then brought the coffee after we were done and wanted to know why we didn't want it?? It is no wonder that the restaurant had hardly anyone in it at prime time on a Saturday night. It's too bad because we did like most of the food but won't go back because of the very poor service. read more

Took my son, daughter- in- law and grandson, rather than write a complaint on all that happened I'll just say, bad all around. Aug. 24, 2011 read more

I was in the mood for sushi today so I decided to go to Wild Ginger because the prices seemed better than Matsuya which is also in the same parking lot. Boy am I disappointed! First, "entree" means that it will come with a soup and salad...nope just the rolls, which weren't all that great. I'd rather go to Matsuya where the prices may be a little bit more expensive but the food is much better! read more

This is my main place to eat. The sesame crusted salmon, grilled shrimp with lemongrass, the szechuan shrimp and chicken and the shrimp and chicken with walnuts dishes are to die for!!! I eat healthier here than anwhere else. The dim sum is also the appetizer my husband and I always choose. Every time I go out with a friend to eat or my husband we mostly come here. Great service, great food, yes pricy but worth every penny. There is also one in manhattan but the menu is more extensive in great neck. read more

Great food and the service is not bad but I think they want to be a lounge more than a restaurant. Drinks are pricey and beer selection is above average read more

This Asian fusion spot has very good ambience and nice decor, however their dishes do not quite stand out according to my taste. Personally I enjoy Asian food very much, especially Southeast Asian cuisines. But I couldn't recommend Wild Ginger! read more

My BF and I have been loyal and regular Wild Ginger costumers for the past year. Today, I put an order in to be delivered at 6:30 but it came at 4:30- hours before anyone would be home to eat it. I called to complain and they were very condescending. Then the delivery driver came back to retrieve the erroneous order and is bringing it back at 6:30. My issue was with the raw fish sitting in my fridge for hours. Is someone going to eat that old food? Are they just going to bring it back to me? I don't like to complain but jeez. read more

Excellent food and service at reasonable prices. Love the cold noodles in sesame sauce,mango chicken, ginger shrimp and black bean beef. I haven't had a dish that wasn't delicious. Food is colorful and full of fresh veggies. read more

I had 20 directors waiting for a luncheon conference from 12:30pm-1:30pm. We called at 11:30 for a delivery down the block. They claimed they'd be here by 12:30pm. It is now 1:22pm and the meeting is ending and no one ate. Wild ginger didn't offer to compensate our meal. I demanded it and they only gave 10 percent and kept saying they don't know where the delivery driver is. They hung up on me mid sentence. I kept explaining to him that the food would be cold, and be just kept saying okay okay okay okay sir okay sir and hung up on me again. Unreal. read more

Me and some friends came here after a soccer game. The food was ok until my friend found a MEALWORM in his chicken lomein.

The moment you enter the restaurant, you are greeted by a nice host and nice atmosphere. It's really pretty. Also, servers are so attentive and helpful. The food is even better. I began with edamame that is lightly salted and perfect for chit-chatting with your friend or date. Their selections on special rolls are very wide. For myself, I ordered the special roll: Dragon roll and also hot appetizer "Thai crab cakes". The presentation and the taste of them were perfect ! and also main dish such as crispy red snapper, wox garlic shrimp as well as miso sea scallop.... you have to try... they are really delicious..... ^^ For a great service, delicious food, and nice atmosphere, you can find in Wild Ginger Great Neck. =D Try eating here. You won't regret it! read more

I loooooove this restaurant!!!! I have been patronizing them for the past 4 yrs. And let me tell u this is my fav restaurant of all! Their food is good and service is outstanding! Although they were so bz in the weekend but believe me there were no wait in getting ur food at all! I'm impressed! I've been telling all my friends abt this restaurant and surprisingly everyone has different favourite. Anyway I never taste anything bad so far! read more

A delicious restaurant. A sort of a hip place, busy with lots of people. Great food. we had the Minced Chicken Lettuce wraps with roasted pine nut and Miso Soup.after that.we had the crispy red snapper and samba delight for dinner. Highly recommend this restaurant. read more

AWSOME PLACE.... I just want to start by saying that this restaurant is greatt as far as value,food portions,service and taste.The decor is very modern n aisian style,the bar is stocked up with plenty of wines and vodkas. the restaurant can get a bit noisy on weekends but is bearable. the honey back ribs and tempuira style shrimp is to die for. They also had a happy hour at the barwhen we went which included all the mixed cocktains including mango mojitos and pomegrante margaritas..service was a A+ and a fantastic place to bring a date. i will be going there again. read more

I only like it because thus place admits its a Fusion and not authentic. Its a nice place and a little expensive but the plates are huge so it makes up for it. Take-out/delivery is your standard asian but a little better. I'm a fan just because its one of my local staples... read more

If you don't mind the intense amount of GMO products and MSG in your food then this place is great. Great bar though, always quiet quaint and fun. A good choice for meeting a group of friends. I would recommend choosing a couple of different items on the menu and sharing with people. Its a fusion place so they use a lot of different spices. Its worth trying it all out. Remember though...MSG usually if not always makes everything good aside from your health read more

Very bad service. I order from there, all hungry and eager, and i live barely 10 mins away. They were 40 mins late, I called them three times for them to tell me the order was 5 mins away and they didn't even apologize. When I finally received it, one of my order was missing. Once again I call them and they told me that is was there, I ended up picking it up. It took me over 2 hours to finally eat.. thanks..... PS , they aren't even that good.. read more

I would give zero stars if I could. I was mortified that I brought someone here and had a cockroach crawling on the wall and ledge near my date and then a fly fly near our food. So disgusting clearly their cleaning and sanitation is not up to par, I'll never go again gross and embarrassing read more

Wild Ginger is one of my go-to spots for lunch when I'm in the area. They are fast and delicious, the service is great & everyone is so nice and polite. Thank you. :) read more

Well, after dinner at Wild Ginger tonight (a restaurant I have attended and ordered-in from for the past 10 years) I have concluded that I will never attend the restaurant EVER again IN MY LIFE, nor order delivery - simply because I never want them to have another one of my heard earned dollars again ever, as they do not deserve it, as I will explain below... After being sat as a party of 3 at 10:00p.m. (restaurant closes at 11) we were quickly reminded that the kitchen closes at 11pm - this was fair and actually nice of the maitre d, my buddy got up to go to the bathroom. The water (who sat us) then approached and asked if we were ready to order..clearly not, as we had just sat down, and a member of our party was missing...mind you, this was only the beginning. Though I will say the food was good, the service was so terrible that I would not even feed their "lovely Asian fusion" menu to my dog. So, after switching from the ridiculously stupid original waiter, to another waiter, and finally to the maitre d herself, service still sucked... My main point is the following: after receiving the check, and splitting it on two cards - which by the way, you would've thought it was the first time they ever had to do such a challenging act! I decided to do two things that I never do. 1. I stiffed them on the tip. 2. I left my notes on receipt. My notes included the following (Before I type out my notes, please understand the level of frustration I was in. Not only was I experiencing TERRIBLE service from a restaurant I ABSOLUTELY LOVED FOR YEARS, but I was also victim to extreme stereotyping. My outfit, as well as one other people in my party, consisted of a high fashion designer t-shirt, jeans, sneakers, and "snap back hat." Now, here are my "notes," left on my recipt... "Wild Ginger has truly disgusted me tonight from the moment I walked in. I was rushed to order. I was judged based on my appearance." Wearing a hat put the "'he's a young 20 something who won't leave a good tip anyway. Treat him like a high school kid.'" Well, no. I'm actually a young entrepreneur. I work as Director of Marketing at a major Media company based in Manhattan. In addition, I am the CEO of a Hip-Hop Management company, representing New York's most up-and-coming artists in the five boroughs. Come to think of it, I wish my hat and t-shirt had my companies names and progress I've made on them...**sigh**!!!!! Well, after leaving my notes which also included "maybe this will be a wake up call not to do as you did tonight. I guess you don't believe in the old "the customer is always right," saying. Funny, I believe restaurants have been made or broken based on their application to such a simple saying...best of luck to you in your future, hah!" NOW: being that all employees left cleaning up (as we walked out, BEFORE THE KITCHEN EVEN CLOSED AT 10:50( were all individuals that had English listed as tehir second lesson on an their SAT form, just kidding, clearly none of them were here to take the SAT. For the record, I'm a white Jew. I'm far from racist. Some of my best friends are black, so please don't take this that rout...I have TRUE FAMILY to prove it! In conclusion, I pulled the bartender away with a simple head-nod to follow me outside. As he unerstood and complied after finishing making the alcoholics drink whom he was serving, he came and met myself, alogn with my two friends outside. I explianed to him what happned. To my, his, and my friends surprise, at this time we realized the waiter mustve clearly read my notes on the receipt...AS HE WAS AT THE DOOR TRYING TO COME OUTSIDE AND CLEARLY FIGHT ME WHILE HIS CO-WORKERS HELD HIM BACK. Standing my ground, the polite bartender asked me to please get in my friends car, conveniently parked right in front. I did so, not because I am a wuss, but because I felt bad for the one nice man who worked at an establishedment I had respect for a bit over an hour ago. Oh - while pulling away, the "tough" waiter attempted to come outside, although the door was locked...he must've forgotten his keys elsewhere....LOL, please... Well, in true conclusion. Here is what I have to say Wild Ginger, DON'T GO THERE! They are lucky that I did not call the police on their "restaurant" and explain in detail. Oh by the way, this was not an explanation in detail, I left out 2/3 of the story. Those were the boring details. When I made my call back to say this, one of the waiters picked up, and hung up before I could sarcastically say, "well thanks for the beautiful evening!" **Sigh, again**...just kidding with all of the sigh's by the way, what a shame. Who runs "Shame on you* ? I forget his name, but you best believe I will be getting in touch with him about a stereotypical Asian-Fusion restaurant. Wild Ginger: DO NOT ATTEND! IT SUCKS! BYE! read more

Havent been back in a while since we moved, but went back yesterday for dinner. I love their Ginger Duck, My GF loved her dish and the veggie spring rolls appetizer. If they gave us even more of our main dishes we probably would have kept eating until we couldn't stand up. That's how good it was. read more

It's almost embarrassing how often I have eaten here. They know exactly my ordering habits. The food is outrageous, mild mango sauce outstanding. On the pricey side for Chinese Asian, but I go back often. Friendly staff, mostly good service, very nice host. read more

The vegan hot and sour soup was totally delicious as was the Thai red curry (scallops). Portions were large. Excellent value. Setting was above average. Looking forward to another opportunity to eat here. read more

Nice swanky place for nice mixed drinks and a good meal. It can get really crowded though and prices are a bit high. You can get a better deal in a less fancy looking place if you go into little neck or bayside. read more

I ordered a couple of things to share at work - spicy tuna roll and spicy yellowtail maki lunch rolls (both made with brown rice), beef satay appetizer, and a thai spring roll. The sushi rolls were excellent - great filling: rice ratio, the rice was perfect - not dry or mushy, and the fish was fresh. The beef satay was grilled to perfection - extremely tender and flavorful, and the peanut sauce was good. The spring roll was very good too - crispy and golden brown, neither greasy nor mushy. Will definitely be ordering from here again! read more

Excellent restaurant. Found it the week it opened 13 years ago and have been regulars since. Never had a bad item. Have tried many dishes over the years bust the Vietnamese salad and the red snapper are my personal favorites, the shrimp in mild mango sauce and the sesame chicken aren't far behind. read more

This restaurant is the best! I started out with the wild ginger martini, then the veggie dumplings and ended with the crispy scallops. In a word....excellent! The wait staff was awesome! Ask to be seated in Hardi's section. Very attentive! read more

Came here with a big group for uncle's birthday. Ordered the broccoli soy ginger. Although I didn't eat anything prior to going, it was very filling. Again the green tea in the glass bottle, with the cutest little cups were amazing and delicious. I ordered the avocado cucumber rolls for the appetizer and the broccoli soy ginger with tofu, it was very tasty, lots of flavor. Yum I'd enjoy going back another day! read more

I had a very nice meal here, nothing was excellent, but everything was good to very good. Its fusion, which is nice to be able to order just about anything Asian, but its also a bit frustrating to have a menu with 40 or so entrees (including specials) and wondering what is the freshest and best. With that in mind, we had a variety of dishes, some worked more than others. The Pad Thai I found to be kind of bland, it did not have the usual strong flavor I'm used to, although my company enjoyed it. The sushi roll we had was very good, standard; sweet from a sauce, not particularly memorable, but it was quality. The Seafood Ceviche is not very good. Its got mango, which I do not personally like with tuna and salmon as I don't enjoy my fish to be sweet, and the presentation and fish are passable. It was not bad at all, but not worth ordering in my opinion. There was a chicken dish that I found to be not lean chicken, and quite boring. The green vegetable dumplings were excellent, enjoyed by all. The Crispy honey chicken and shrimp was a huge portion and was very good, crispy chicken with a good sauce and green beans. The Soft Shell Crab was decent, tasty by no sauce and a very small portion for a main course, especially at $20. I had a few bites of a salmon dish that was excellent and a very large portion. All in all, the food was decent to good, the service was friendly. The drinks were a highlight, we had a few excellent fun drinks including the Pomegranate Mojito which I enjoyed very much. All in all, I would go back here and try something different, most people really enjoyed the meal. read more

i love this place great food and even greater people

I believe that this restaurant is very good, but very overpriced. This restaurant is located in the busy Waldbaum's shopping center, where other restaurants like Cheeburger Cheeburger, Chipotle, and Matsuya reside. I have never tried this place and decided to give it a go after hearing about all of the rave and the coupons. This place has many people during the lunch hours. This restaurant was packed with people of all ages, from baby to elder... which is good for business. The decor is actually quite nice, but maybe needs a touch up. I love all of the plants. The menu is somewhat like Elaine's with a broad Asian fusion selection, with a take on Chinese, Japanese, Thai, and VIETNAMESE foods. The wonton soups are alright, quite delicious. My chow fun was quite expensive, but actually had a lot of flavor. Unfortunately, when I order beef chow fun, I expect a lot of beef and noodles. The balance was off, since about half of the dish was vegetables. I didn't order the vegetarian selection. The sushi was overpriced but looked very appetizing. The service was friendly and seemed experienced. I guess I would try this place again.... read more
