I'm not often in Midlothian so it was nice to try Wild Ginger. It's an Asian fusion restaurant and is part of the EAT restaurant group. The restaurant itself is decorated nicely and has plenty of seating indoors and outdoors on a covered patio. The customer service stood out the most. They asked about dietary restrictions/allergies at the beginning and asked whether we wanted the food to be served all at once or in order. Those little details make a difference in a dining experience. All food and drinks came out promptly. The sunshine shrimp was so good and was similar to honey walnut shrimp. The pad thai tasted more like stir fry for me. The table next to me also ordered pad thai and our dishes were very different colors.
Just a little sashimi "nosh" for us today, but the fish was fresh and tasty. Exactly what the doctor ordered!
I stopped by Wild Ginger for a quick lunch and had a great experience. The hostess who was also my server sat me at a nice booth. I decided to go with the Lunch Sushi (priced at $16 which was a nice special). She asked me if there was anything I didn't like and was kind to note that I didn't want tamago. It was pretty empty on a Wednesday afternoon, but there were some other guests. I saw an old sommelier friend walk in so I can only assume they have great wine here. I enjoyed my dish. The decor was cute and trendy. They had two gender neutral restrooms. I'd be interested in coming back to try other creative sushi dishes and non-sushi dishes.
The wife and I wanted a nice place to go out for dinner with the rents and enjoy some Asian food. All I have to say is wild ginger nailed it. We came in early and our server told us if we were able to order reasonably quick before the kitchen got backed up. Obviously, they had tried many things on the menu and were very knowledgeable about what to order. We tried several of their recommendations as well as some different things that we had never had before. Everything was cooked to perfection delivered carefully, timely, and the restaurant itself was split up enough that you could still have a conversation even after it was busy.
Scored a nice booth with our friends on a busy Saturday night. Parking lot was full at 6:15pm Our waitress Jenny was fantastic- friendly and checking in just the right amount and shared some of her favorites. Definitely appreciated the booth because it starts to get pretty loud around 7pm. We started some drinks, including a margarita, the plum paradise, which was a cocktail special and a couple of sapporos. The margarita was well-made in the plum paradise was very enjoyable, but needed to be stirred before sipping. We also ordered a blood red spritzer later on, which was very refreshing. Everyone enjoyed their appetizers - Lobster wonton, tuna tataki, gyoza and a kitchen special called seared Niku Nigiri which was seared beef nigiri with mushroom shallot butter topped with truffle oil, jalapeño, red onion, and garlic -Delicious! While the tuna Tataki was good, It could have been better because the seaweed salad served with it, absorbed all the sauce that was supposed to go with the tuna so that was a bit of a letdown. Entrees did not disappoint- sushi deluxe, Tropic thunder roll, oven - roasted Seabass, perfect pearing roll/tuna roll. Some of us agreed however the perfect pearing roll probably did not need the citrus aïoli because it tasted fresher and more vibrant without it. My friend ordered the oven-roasted Seabass with the jalapeño yuzu sauce on the side because she's not always up for spices, but she loved it which tells you it's not too spicy. All in all a fun night out!
Met my friend for lunch. Wild Ginger is one of our favorite restaurants. We started with the calamari which was perfectly crispy. We felt rushed through our app as our server tried to take the plate away while we were stilling eating. I got the Sashimi Cobb Salad it was large and had plenty of protein. Some of the lettuce was a bit wilted and soggy, but I was able to pick those pieces out. I asked for an order of "Ken's sodo soup" with my salad. What arrived at our table was miso soup. I asked our server what happened as I was a bit confused. She dismissively said "well for lunch we have it where you can add miso soup for $5." It didn't make much sense since I didn't order miso soup and specifically wanted to try the other one that I ordered. I didn't want to cause any issues and I like their miso soup so I rolled with it. Although the service was lacking, our meal was good overall. Just not the exceptional experience I usually have at this restaurant.
Pleasantly surprised by Wild Ginger! I've passed on this restaurant before because the online menu makes it look like there are no vegetarian or vegan options. However, we were seated quickly and the first question our server asked us was if we had any dietary restrictions, and assured us many dishes could be made vegan. We shared the Singapore Curried Noodles and Vegetable Maki Combo sushi (no egg). We also added fried tofu to the noodles. Both dishes were tasty! The noodles were flavorful, the fried tofu was awesome (crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside). The sushi was good - our favorite was the sweet potato roll as it had some crunchy bits inside. Overall would recommend again. If you're vegetarian / vegan, don't be fazed by the menu online, they are happy to make accommodations in person.
I'm going to be honest, I was a bit disappointed during my most recent visit to Wild Ginger. We arrived on a Saturday during Happy Hour and the bar was practically full (although they were reserving a table that wasn't due for an hour and fifteen minutes, which they did offer to us) but we opted for the patio. We tried several Happy Hour bites to include the Fried Teriyaki Wings (just OK), the Salmon Rice Crackers (really good), Crunchy Roll (just OK), and the Spicy Tuna Roll (fine, but I had one piece that was more fishy than the others...). We also ordered a couple apps off of the main menu, the Curry Mussels (overcooked and sauce that was oily and separating) and the Yellowtail Jalapeño Sashimi, which I normally enjoy but it was warm? I prefer my raw fish to be cold for obvious reasons and also because I enjoy it that way. I wondered if it sat under a heat lamp, and if so they should really take a look at how to avoid the cold appetizers becoming hot. I also had the Espresso Martini, which I quickly had to trade with my husband's drink because it was full of cream which is not what you would normally expect for this cocktail. I didn't even think to mention it. My second cocktail was even worse. Everyone who knows me, knows I am a Spritz girly, so when I saw their Blood Orange Spritzer I immediately wanted to try it. But it was too heavy on the gin and acidity, and could have used more SPRITZ (sparkling wine). The Sake Cocktail was fine. All in all, I wasn't impressed by the view of the parking lot, the service, the cocktails, nor the food. I don't think we will be back for a while...
I came here because the sushi reviews were top notch. I left here believing the reviews! The sushi was fresh and so darn pretty! Our table also had the Pad Thai and Singapore noodles. The Pad Thai was supposed to be taken home for dinner. One taste turned into an empty plate. I like the metal containers the food came in (on top of the plate). It really is a great heat conductor because 10 minutes after the plate was sitting on our table, one stir and the steam still appeared from the dish. It's also really pretty inside. I would pick this restaurant for date night, or some kind of intimate gathering. Or really.... just because you want great food.
On whim, we decided to try this out for date night. This place has been on my list for a while. It is small on the inside and has a few tables outside. Some are under heaters and some are not. It is a nice ambience inside and out. For a Saturday evening, it was busy, but since we decided to dine outside on the patio; we were seated rather quickly. It did take a few minutes for us to be introduced to our dining concierge, Sheeri (I hope that I spelled that correctly). She was very pleasant and provided a warm welcome for us being it was our first time dining there. The menu has some great options and she provided some spot on suggestions. I had some saké that was sippable and went well with my dishes. We order the lobster wontons and the flavors....do good. Delicious. All of the components worked well. I wish there was more lobster inside and topped, but that's because I love seafood. I ordered the Pad Thai with shrimp, crab meat, and scrambled egg. The sauce is so delicate and subtle. It does not overpower the dish and allows you to enjoy all of the dishes components. He ordered the Malay Lamb, medium well, and it was cooked perfectly. The curry sauce that comes on the side should smother the lamb and the rice that comes with the dish. It is so good. We will be back and I only want Sheeri.
Dined in two weeks ago with some girlfriends during happy hour for drinks, snacks and sushi in the bar area. The server was very personable but the service was slow. We had to flag him down a couple of times for more food/drinks. The bar area WAS busy but two people handling the space seemed reasonable enough for this not to happen. Regardless, the food was great and we had a good time overall definitely recommend!
Once again, Wild Ginger did not disappoint! Food was excellent and delicious. Great variety of items in which to choose from. The service was fantastic; attentive but not in your face. She did a great job focusing on being out the food while clearing the table of used dishes. I didn't even notice! The atmosphere was very nice and warm, particularly for a cold rainy day. Wild Ginger is perfect for a date, family get together, or entertaining a client. Super convenient location with plenty of parking too. Highly recommended! read more

Very tasty Asian inspired menu! Fresh spring water and really good drinks for those who enjoy alcohol or non-alcoholic beverages! Great place for a date night or groups of 5 or more. The service is on point by the wait staff with their friendliness, knowledge of the menu and taking precise orders! read more

Still a great hidden gem. Stopped in for a quick lunch order the chicken masala which turned out great I had the tempura Calamari and also the pad Thai with shrimp. We ordered the joto watari sake which was excellent I must say it was so good I even left with a bottle. Our waitress Parker was very attentive, informative and down to earth and she made the experience amazing. Highly recommend. read more

Excellent taste, really different. I ordered only slacks and they were amazing. Fried calamari and fried lobster wonton were unique. I ordered lamb chop as entrees, but I was already full from appetizer. The mustered sauce was unique. Had some leftover in home. Loved it better on next day. Good service, good ambience. read more

My husband and I had dinner here last Saturday and it was AMAZINGGGGGG! Seriously amazing. It was our second time going and this restaurant will now be a staple for us. We ordered the Petite Thai Shrimp wraps for an appetizer. I had the Pad Thai, my husband had the Hawker Chicken and Extraordinary roll. I also ordered the Volcano roll but I sent it back cause I didn't really like it. We ordered the Bananas Foster dessert. Everything was HEAVENLY. I'm still dreaming about our dinner. 10/10 for everything. Our server made the experience even better. She was so nice and informative. Always checked in on us and made sure we were taken care of. We sat outside on the patio and the ambiance was so nice. The weather was great, they have lights out there and music playing. We will be back again and again! read more

Our first time at Wild Ginger for my husbands birthday dinner. The restaurant is beautiful and feels high end. Great spot for special occasions! We were able to be seated right away on a Wednesday at 7pm with no reservation! Their patio was full and dining room was pretty busy as well! Our server was so knowledgeable of specials and had great recommendations for us! We waited the perfect amount of time between courses- we didn't feel rushed at all! We ordered cocktails, appetizers and entrees. The gyoza was delicious, the vegetable sushi was fresh, and the pad Thai was so nice. The star of the show had to be the Hawkers Chicken! The sauce was savory and a little sweet, the chicken was tender and delicious! We really enjoyed our meal at Wild Ginger! read more

We ordered: Tom Yum Soup - had lots of seafood but flavor was not there. It was not spicy nor sour, wouldn't get this again. Malay lamb chops - lamb chop were not seasoned evenly (some parts were salty while other parts had no flavor at all) and we didn't taste the Malay spice rub that was mentioned on their menu. The asparagus was a bit old and stringy. The house fried rice and the side of curry was very good! However, I don't think that's enough for me to want to try this dish again. Malay fried rice (Nasi Goreng) - this was pretty good but I don't think it was worth the price we paid ($13 + $5 to add chicken). I didn't really taste the flavors mentioned in the email, just like regular fried rice. For that price, you could get fried rice from another Chinese restaurant that's just as good and at least twice the portion size. They were out of sushi and sashimi platters (or at least they didn't offer it on their online ordering system) so we didn't get to try them. We probably wouldn't be ordering from them again any time soon only because of how far they are from us. TLDR; overall the food was okay, a bit pricey and the lamb was not well seasoned. Both fried rice items were delicious but not enough for us to go out of the way to order here again. read more

Being a person who seems to drag my wife everywhere in search of good sushi, I am shocked that I've not been to one of the best in the area, and it's right in my metaphorical back yard! This place is top notch. The specialty rolls are a bit higher priced than many others in the area, but they are still right in line with other great local sushi joints. Price aside (because if you're looking for GOOD sushi, and not sushi in bulk like I sometimes am, you really have to pay for it), this place was one of the best we've had, and that includes so many oceanside and vacation destinations. This is one of the rare places where I wasn't tempted to use a bunch of soy sauce or wasabi. I was perfectly content eating it all unmasked and just as it came to the table. It was all just damn good, and there's not much I can say that will do it justice. Their cocktails were great too, and I was impressed with the pour. This is one of the few local places I've been to where I feel like I got the quality and quantity of alcohol I paid for in each drink, not to mention they were all expertly made as well. The service and atmosphere were great, and like any good restaurant, the entire dining experience was enhanced by their attention to detail (such as decor, lighting, and even an odd choice of window decorations that I feel could have been risky and off-putting in a lesser restaurant, but it worked perfectly here). All in all, this place is a destination if you enjoy sushi or if you're looking for a great overall dining experience. I plan to come back a few times over the next few months, so I look forward to them earning that elusive 5th star. read more
We were looking for somewhere different to have a Saturday night dinner. Wild Ginger's atmosphere is very inviting & modern. The staff was friendly, and we were seated right away. We found the menu to be very user-friendly, easy to read & provided just enough options where there's bound to be something for everyone. Menu items are pricy enough that it won't be a regular hangout, but not bad for an occasional visit. I found that a couple of the waitstaff, while friendly, appeared less professional than I'd expect from a restaurant boasting their prices. I thought the food presentation was spot on and tasted every bit as good as it looked. The Red Dragon Seafood Masala was loaded with flavor and catered to the sweet-savory combination that I like. read more

The food was amazing. Much better than other local sushi places, especially in the short pump area. Tables are a little tight together, my dining partner, and I were fortunate enough to get a table away from most of the hustle and bustle as we wanted to catch up and talk. The server, Elle was very attentive,too bad she will be going back to school already! I had the Anna sushi and my partner had Tropic thunder. The lobster wontons were wonderful as was the calamari with the unusual noodle salad underneath. chocolate peanut butter pie was excellent and shareable! Although it is a bit of a drive, I will be back. Reservations are definitely needed!!! Sorry no picture of the chocolate peanut butter pie! It was inhaled rather quickly!! read more

Do you have a happy hour?
They do but it's not very impressive! Two dollars off their signature cocktails made them $8. Our server told us rail drinks were $4 but then asked for vodka preference and up charged us. They did have okay wine specials so if you like wine I'd give…
