    Tsunami Roll.
    M. B.

    Delicious sushi in a relaxed atmosphere. One of the waitresses is always so sweet and chats with me whenever I come in.

    Drunken noodles

    If you are ordering drunken noodles here and expecting a spicy dish - look elsewhere. This isn't even remotely spicy. Very disappointed. Shame on you, Wild Ginger. The ginger dressing with the salad was great. The praise ends there. Since drunken noodles is my go to Thai dish, I will not be coming back here.

    Philadelphia Roll and Shrimp Tempura roll

    Very underwhelming. We spontaneously came here on a Sunday night after the restaurant we wanted to eat at was booked. There is a Wild Ginger we live near in Huntingdon Valley (that we LOVE!) however we were informed there is no relation between the two. Inside is small, sushi "bar" is also very small and only one worker. The sushi chef groaned and sighed the entire time so it's obvious he didn't want to be there. We got vegetable tempura appetizer, 4 sushi rolls and pad thai. The appetizer was sooo greasy and dipping sauce was too thin. Sushi was ok, but too small of portions. I always expect 8-10 pieces per roll but was given less than that here. Only 5 pieces of tempura?! This place is crazy. Pad thai was so spicy (indicated on menu as spicy so we were warned), we couldn't finish.

    I don't know why anyone likes this place? It is a step below average at best. We went once before and thought we'd try it again a year later to see if it had improved but the only thing worth paying for on this whole menu is the steamed white rice because it's at least cooked thoroughly. The triple Thai something had some insipid beef and vegetables. The spicy Thai basil was not spicy nor Thai nor basil. I hope someone comes and buys this place out or at replaces what passes for a cook! Also I'm now eating crackers and cheese because my meal is inedible.

    Nothing special about the food, pretty much taste the same as anywhere else. We had the tuna sashimi and it was ok...... Seafood curry was delicious and the udon was really tasteless. Over all the place is cozy and price is reasonable. Atmosphere was really pleasant Place is BYOB!

    I love the name, "Wild Ginger." It evokes images of spicy jungles with Jaguar eyes and Elephant tusks lurking in the deep canopy forests of northern Thailand. This version of the two shop restaurant empire is not quite as wild as the name suggests, but does have its positive moments. The Jamison store has dark red walls with black cut out images of exotic Asian women and the Eiffel Tower. On a hot day it instantly cools the visitor with its permanent shade. The menu works especially well at lunch, where the offerings on the Thai side are based on the main ingredient you chose - Tofu, Veggies, Chicken, Beef or Shrimp and range from $8 to $9 for the style you select. I almost ordered the Pad Thai, but allowed myself to listen to my server telling me the Cashew Thai Style was just as good. She was very pleasant, and she convinced me to try the nut approach. First came the Tom Yam Soup, which was nicely spiced and steaming. It was what I expected that soup to be. Tart and sinus rattling. Nice. The main dish was very attractive with fresh Veggies (Pepper, Onion, Scallion, Carrot, Baby Corn, Cashews), and a light brown glazy sauce that made everything shine. Looked great. The taste was were the letdown occurred. While the menu described a mild sweetness, to my buds, there was little if any flavor. Freshness and quantity were not issues, but I truly wanted something bolder in line with my Thai-spectations. Rather than ask for more sauce or something sweeter to add to the plate, I went the other way and asked for Sesame Oil and Chili Sauce to bring up the flames. After dumping the small dish of spice and oil into it and mixing thoroughly, the flavor was much improved, and I enjoyed the meal the rest of the way. It still wasn't authentically Thai, but it was reasonably good. Turned out that Wild Ginger (II) was a "fusion" or hybrid kitchen, owned by someone other than Thais or Japanese. Such 'con-fusion' houses usually don't work well as the concept doesn't exist in the "wild" of southeast Asia, and relies on the theory that no one here will recognize that this concoction approach lacks roots in any indigenous culture. Wild Ginger gamely tries to offer a valid alternative, and the dishes are okay for what they are. It's just that they fall short of being fully satisfying because of what they are not.

    Great selection of food for Sushi lovers and guys like me.

Ended up getting some sushi that was recommended to me by the waitress. I got a cooked shrimp sushi. This came as two pieces which was nice. The quality was pretty good. I really liked how they displayed the sushi as well. The waitress also suggested the Ninja Roll. I really liked the Ninja Roll. I liked how much tempora flakes there was on top of the roll. The spicy crab was also delicious. At the end of the meal, I got an orange as a dessert which was pretty delicious.

It is in a strip mall and has only been open 3-4 months. They didn't have a lot of staff but we were quickly greeted and were able to choose our own table. The restaurant was very clean and well lit. The menu is pretty extensive and we were excited to try a few things. We each started with a salad and an order of the octopus. The salads were large and delicious. We had a seaweed salad, an avocado salad, and a the Yokohama salad which is a house salad with a generous amount of sashimi on it. All of them were quite good. The octopus was good but not our favorite. The sashimi platter had a great selection of fish that was very fresh and tasty. It came with a soup and a side of rice. Both roles were very good. We were really happy with the quality and price. I would recommend giving it a try. You won't be disappointed.

    Musashi is out-of-this-world good. We're talking S-TIER, folks. It's a tiny spot in Feasterville,…read moretucked into the back of a little strip mall (calling it a mall is a reach), and if you didn't know it was there, you'd never find it. And that's a good thing because competition for tables is already stiff. Get a reservation (you have to call) or be ready to wait in line. The decor is excellent. Not fancy by any means, but FUN. It's like someone raided an Otaku gift shop. There are toys, t-shirts, and a zillion things to delight and catch your eye. Tables are separated by bamboo screens, so each is lovely and private-ish. Service is solid, and the staff have a lot to keep up with. Be patient. But let's talk about the food! I have eaten a lot of sushi in my life and I am not kidding when I say this is some of the best. Everything was incredibly fresh and tasted like it had been out of the ocean for mere moments. We had pork-wasabi shumai and the hamachi jalapeno for appetizers and both were fantastic--the hamachi was probably my favorite thing across the board. We also shared a Sushi deluxe dinner, as well as a Musashi and a Tuna roll (I cannot remember what they called it but it was belly tuna and spicy tuna together and it was to die for). Everything was perfect; I have nothing negative at all to say. 10/10, no notes. So if you find yourself near Bensalem, get yourself there. You will NOT be disappointed.

With me being Asian and my family being familiar with Asian cuisine we looked forward to trying this new restaurant. We usually do a quick scan of the clientele to see if Asians are actually dining in the Asian restaurant. Didn't see many. I may have been the only Asian in our section. Staff consisted of mix of Asians and non-Asians. Before the food came out our waiter brought over a little black plate with 4 white towelettes rolled up like little marshmallows. My youngest thought it was a marshmallow and tried to eat it. We stopped him! Coincidentally, the booth behind us had a large party of adults and one of the adults did the same. Makes for a good laugh but down the road this could be a huge liability. Osaka restaurant should change up the presentation before a customer chokes on the little towelette. We started out with scallion pancakes, egg rolls, wonton soup, and hot & sour soup. Scallion pancakes were hot, crispy, and tasty. Egg rolls were blah. No flavor and all cabbage. No protein mixed in. Wonton soup is as basic as you can get. It was delicious! However, Hot and sour soup was a huge disappointment. It was dark colored water with a slight soy sauce and black pepper flavor. Where was the sour? Where was the heat? No black mushrooms. This had to be an off night for this restaurant. Taste test the batch before serving. The entrées. My son ordered sweet & sour chicken. Without requesting separate sauce, Osaka served the sauce on the side. Perfect for my son. He likes to dip the chicken into the sauce and eat with white rice. Since the chicken was served plain we all tried a piece to taste test the quality. Actually not bad. My son finished his whole dinner. Portion was huge too. My other son ordered Mala chicken. Delicious mix of chicken and vegetables with spicy heat. Huge portion. Definitely a favorite. My husband ordered Orange Chicken. Chicken was crispy on the outside, tender inside and sauce was sweet with orange flavor. Mild spice. He devoured almost all of it. Again another huge portion. I ordered the Teriyaki beef. It came with a side of steamed broccoli and rice. I chose brown rice. This beef was so tender and tasty. Melt in your mouth kind of tender. Teriyaki flavor could have been a little more intense but not bad at all. I would definitely order this again. Huge portion served. I ended up taking half of this home. It made for a pretty good lunch the next day. We finished off our meal with a shared dessert; Fried banana with vanilla ice cream. Order this dessert!! Don't live with regret missing out on this happy ending. My overall take on this place... try it out. It's Asian food in the suburbs. Not quite Chinatown or upper mainline but it's pretty good for Asian food in Downingtown. Huge portions. Some things are hit or miss but my guess is it's just starting out. Osaka is definitely worth checking out and coming back for your favorite dishes. (The other restaurants owned with Osaka are pretty good too.)
