Shaking Beef
Thao R.

Came to Wild Ginger in Franklin for dinner and had a really nice experience overall. The decor was beautiful. Modern, warm, and a great vibe for a night out. Customer service was also excellent and very attentive. This is an Asian fusion spot, so lots of different options to choose from! I started with the Tokyo gyoza. It was good, but nothing that really stood out compared to other gyoza I've had. Still enjoyable. For my main, I ordered the shaking beef with noodles, and this was the star of the meal. It's not traditional if you're comparing it to Vietnamese shaking beef, but it was really well done. The noodles had a nice crisp to them, and the meat was tender and flavorful. Between the atmosphere, service, and solid food, Wild Ginger is a great spot for dinner, and I'd definitely come back to try more dishes.

I love this place so much that my partner and I are exploring the whole menu. It's fantastic. The service is great and the food is even better. Very inventive sushi combinations will have you wanting to try them all, like us!

Pad Thai with beef
Dwight O.

My wife and I tried WG for lunch. I had the honey sake chicken while she tried the Pad Thai. My meal was perfectly acceptable and it made for a nice lunch. It didn't leave me with an impression where I need to go back to experience that flavor profile again and I'll try something new the next time I'm there. The pad Thai was a different story. Everything was visually correct as to what you'd expect and it looked fantastic. Upon eating it, it was the most flavorless thing I might have ever had. It really seemed like they forgot something. I like restaurants like this and will try again at some point.

I was going to give them 3 stars. It was oddly uncommon for a Japanese sushi place to cover their sushi rice with teriyaki sauce. Then I thought, I should've read the dish description more carefully, it says on the menu that's the way they do it. I should've asked to have that on the side, hence adding one star back. The Chirashi is nicely composed, but the rice bed under is unruly. It an unshaped mess, covered in super sweet over powering teriyaki. I've had so many chirashi at so many different places, this was a first. I honestly couldn't enjoy the fish because of the sauce.

Appetizers! Edamame  Pork Belly Bao Bun
Shelby T.

Staff is very knowledgeable about allergies. The spicy edamame is delicious. Others at the table got the pork belly bao buns and said they were delicious as well - tender meat, fluffy bun. For my entree I got pad Thai. It's an enormous serving. I forgot to snap a picture before diving in. Personally I would've liked it a little saucier but it's still good! In the future I'll probably just get the veggie option because the chicken was a bit dry. And for the Diet Coke community , they only have Coke Zero.

Pork belly Bao , so delicious! Tender with a crispy Szechuan flavored crust, pickled toppings, and so fresh.
Julie M.

Wild Ginger is a beautiful restaurant in Cool Springs with an industrial-meets-nature vibe--think high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking a lush garden patio. Today it was perfect for a quiet, cozy, rainy day lunch. I had the pork bao bun appetizer and the Asian slaw. The bao was hands-down the best I've had--tender braised pork with a crispy Szechuan-spiced edge, topped with pickled radish and cucumber, cilantro, and a sprinkle of cashews. Super flavorful. The slaw was fresh and creamy, kind of like a Chinese chicken salad without the chicken--crunchy shredded cabbage, a sesame and ginger dressing, and sunflower seeds for texture. So good. Service was friendly and attentive, and the window view made it extra atmospheric. Definitely a great lunch pick if you're in the area.

We come every year for Valentine's Day lol. Good food, excellent service, amazing drinks. I'm just keeping a record of what we get lol. This is our 3rd year together!

Pot stickers and Yoyo Roll - delicious!
Sarah B.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Franklin! Everything is always amazing! We started with a yoyo roll and the pot stickers. They were both delicious! My Boyfriend got the Mongolian Beef which we always love. It's flavorful and perfectly balanced with the veggies. I got the lobster bisque and it was phenomenal. I always pair it with the edamame and it's perfect. The restaurant is relaxed and good for having a nice date night. Great ambiance and feels like you have more than enough space. Service is always top notch. Lemon drop martini is also very tasty! We had a great date night!

Ask the Community - Wild Ginger Restaurant

Is there a happy hour?

No, so sad! We are here now and it's my first weekday visit but no HH any day of the week.

We will be there in a few weeks. My sister loves your restaurant and plans on taking our family there for dinner. I have a 3-year-old and 9-year-old. I don't see a menu for children. do you having anything that children will eat?

They do not have a kid's menu but have some appetizers that may work.

Are there any vegan options?

Yes. There are plenty of Vegan options. In addition, this is somewhat of a high-end restaurant. Ask your server if the chef can make a dish Vegan for you. I am certain they will accommodate your request since they make most items from scratch. Enjoy!

I wish the rest of the meal had been on that same level. I ordered the peel and eat shrimp boil and specifically asked for the Cajun butter on the side. Everything in the boil seemed extremely overcooked. The eggs had the green ring around the yolks that you get when they've been boiled far too long, the corn was so tough and overcooked that it was nearly impossible to eat, and the sausage tasted very cheap and also overcooked. The shrimp were the biggest disappointment. Several had a green goo inside that was incredibly unappetizing, and after seeing that, I could barely continue eating the meal. Even the Cajun butter was disappointing. It tasted like butter mixed with the seasoning packet from instant ramen rather than a flavorful Cajun butter. I really wanted to like this place, especially since the appetizer and oysters were good, but my entrée was honestly awful. For a restaurant specializing in Cajun seafood, I expected much better quality and preparation. I left having barely eaten my dinner and feeling like the entire boil was a waste.

A Wonderful Experience at J. Alexander's After Leaving Bonefish Grill…read more After leaving Bonefish Grill, I considered stopping at Red Lobster, but there was only one car in the parking lot. Across the street, I noticed J. Alexander's, where about 15 people were walking out smiling, and the parking lot was still fairly full for 8:45 PM. That was enough to convince me to give it a try. I walked in and was greeted immediately by the host, seated right away in a booth, and within 30 seconds, my waiter came over to ask what I would like to drink. The service was attentive and welcoming from the moment I arrived. I ordered the crab cake, which was what I had originally planned to get at Bonefish Grill, and I have to say it was one of the best crab cakes I've ever eaten. It came with a choice of coleslaw and fries, or I could substitute an amazing tomato salad. The tomato salad was simple, elegant, and delicious. I placed my order at 8:51 PM, and by 9:15 PM, my food arrived fresh, hot, and unbelievably delicious. If you're thinking about dinner, avoid Bonefish Grill and Red Lobster and make your way to J. Alexander's instead. You won't regret it. Everyone was friendly, the food was excellent, and the atmosphere was phenomenal. After the disappointing experience I had at Bonefish Grill, J. Alexander's was exactly what I was hoping for: great service, delicious food, and a welcoming atmosphere. When you come please ask Derry he is amazing!!!

Not horrible, but probably not the place we go to for our special occasions. First, the waitress was aloof and just not very good, very inattentive. Second, what happened to the appetizers? Has it always been like this or did I not notice, but how can there be only 4 appetizers for such a large menu? We ordered the tuna poke and it was a huge let down, the plating was embarrassing. Tuna slopped on the plate with a few lettuce boat wraps. My husband ordered the NY strip - he said it was 7/10, for sure overcooked. He ordered a Medium and it was closer to medium well if not well done. However, he did say the Not Your Ordinary Mac n Cheese was terrific. Someone else at our table ordered the lasagna and wasn't a fan. The sausage was a bit spicy. Not the quality we remembered.

The food itself was absolutely delicious. The bread was AMAZING and honestly one of the highlights. We also ordered the oysters, beef carpaccio, and duck, and everything tasted incredible. My biggest complaint is the price for the portion sizes. I really don't mind spending money on a nice dinner, but every dish we ordered was gone in what felt like less than a minute. Everything tasted amazing, but for the amount of food you actually get, I just couldn't justify the prices. We actually left and ended up going to another restaurant afterward because we were still hungry, which was pretty disappointing considering how much we had just spent. Overall, the food was delicious, but between the extremely small portions, high prices, tight space, and slower service, it just wasn't worth it for us. I'm glad we tried it, but I wouldn't go back.

Ambiance was nice as always. Not too loud but was pretty busy. We had maybe a 5 minute wait once we checked in for our reservation. Our server was the sweetest on a Saturday evening and she was so knowledgeable about their different wine options. He asked her to pick a good red wine that was middle of the road and her option blew him away. It was very good. I got a red sangria and was pleased with it, I prefer mine to be sweeter though. Their bread was delicious as always, crab dip was very good! Wish I had more. Their Caesar was much larger than expected so we shared it but it was good. I opted for the filet medallions Oscar (not pictured) which was good and ordered them medium. Honestly they weren't cooked consistently at all but still very good. Some pretty rare and maybe one out of 4 were actually medium. The ones too undercooked I just took home and ate the next day with eggs. Wish it came with a little more asparagus though. Whipped potatoes are very good! Overall enjoyed my time here and after all: two glasses of wine, two sangrias, bone in ribeye, Caesar, au gratin potatoes, filet medallions Oscar, whipped potatoes and crab dip we had a bill of around $225.
