My coworkers and I had such a lovely experience at Wild Ginger! Celeste was the star server!!! Super positive, friendly, and very hospitable! Please keep them -- they're a wonderful addition to the team there! We tried a variety of dishes, the seven flavor beef (must try), the chicken Pad Thai, the Bokchoy, chicken sausage and shrimp fried rice and the sea bass (phenomenal!) No complaints, the dishes were delicious and we cleaned them all! We also tried their chocolate mousse and coconut sago, excellent! The ambience is very modern and clean! read more

We decided to eat here before a concert at The Triple Door because food and service there have declined. This was a great experience! I had missed the duck so ordered that. So good! Just delicious! Husband had Butter Chicken which he really liked, and our friend had 7 Flavor Beef which she really liked. We also shared a side of broccoli-recommended by our server-and it was delicious! We were out in plenty of time to get to the show! read more

We had New Years eve dinner at Wild Ginger with friends. We were seated soon after we arrived, a few mins before our reservation. The service was excellent. We started with Thai mushroom satay and Thai Spring Rolls. We loved the Thai mushroom satay, Thai Spring Rolls were good. We got Ginger Martini, and Minus mango margarita, loved the mango margarita, the ginger martini was good. We then got Chicken Pad Thai, Green curry chicken, and Kung Pao chicken. The Green curry chicken was good, the Chicken Pad Thai and Kung Pao chicken were okay, a bit of a disappointment. We used to love the food at this Wild Ginger. We finally got Chocolate Mousse, and enjoyed it. read more

We grabbed dinner at Wild Ginger in downtown Seattle on a Tuesday night with a group of friends, and the place was buzzing. It was my first time at this location, so I was excited to try a bunch of their dishes. We started with Thai spring rolls and the Malay chicken skewers, then shared a mix of mains: Chicken Phad Thai, Sichuan green beans, seven‑flavor beef, green curry chicken, northern‑style pork, and Thai passion tofu. We also tried a couple of their signature drinks--the Wild Ginger Daiquiri and the Lychee Mojito. For dessert, we wrapped things up with coconut sago. Everything was packed with flavor, but my personal favorites were the seven‑flavor beef, the green beans, and the Chicken Phad Thai. And if you like fruity cocktails, the Wild Ginger Daiquiri is a winner--the mango purée and lime juice pair perfectly with the Thai dishes. Overall, the food is tasty but definitely on the pricier side, and the portions are a bit small. Still, it made for a fun night out with great flavors. read more

I've been going to Wild Ginger ever since they opened on Western Ave ... Last nights dinner and experience was dissatisfying. The service was slow, the servings seemed smaller, the fragrant duck was definitely smaller, there spicy green beans had strings. Not sure what's going on... read more

So disappointing. I called on Saturday to make sure we could be accommodated for Tuesday. I was assured happy hour was 3 to 6 pm and reservations were not necessary. We made a hotel reservation and thought nothing more of it. We had tickets to a show at the Paramount. We checked in and got an Uber to Wild Ginger and were met at the door by a young woman with a giant restaurant spoon on a chain with a bunch of keys. She said our we could not be accommodated because the restaurant was "blocked out." Not knowing what that meant, I asked if the restaurant was closed for a private party." She said "No. We are blocked out." Another Wild Ginger employee came to join her and directed us to a restaurant nearby. It was closed as well and was not opening for 2 hours. I was dining with a disabled person who could not walk further. It was inconvenient to have no place for them to sit or wait for transportation to pick us up. I did my part and was met with utter lack if respect and service. We were looking firward to dinner. Really disappointing. read more

This was better than I expected. Service was actually phenomenal. The chocolate mousse was a standout. Nothing was particularly exception, but for a convenient, fairly priced spot downtown for a large group, I would be open to going back. The sichuan green beans aren't DTF level good but they are solid. read more

Everyone in my group was happy with their food. That is why I give them three stars. As for me, I'm complicated with food allergies and I feel they may have not followed directions. read more

It was my first time at Wild Ginger, and I gotta give it a 5/5 rating. My friends recommended me this place a couple of years ago and finally went to try it. I had read the reviews, there was a lot of iffy 2-3 star ratings and I thought, why not go for myself and check it out because most of the reviews were people complaining about the customer service or how the waiters wouldn't check in with you (which I wouldn't mind because they're letting you enjoy your meal) but anyways I went to try it. My friends and I had the best experience by far, from any other restaurant we've been to in Seattle. The customer service was GREAT, the food was AMAZING! Everything about this place was amazing, it was super clean too which is always something you want to hear. I would definitely come again! read more

I came here for dinner with some friends, who had previously really enjoyed Wild Ginger. We ordered a bunch of dishes to share, including the northern pork, the 7 spice beef, the pad thai, the crispy shrimp, and the bok choy. The latter was kind of flavorless and bland even though the description indicated it would have a ginger flavor. I also got the lychee mojito which was tasty but seemed to have no alcohol! I did find the northern pork a bit too oddly spiced, but the other dishes were pretty good. There was nothing really outstanding in the mix of what we ordered. There was a bit of a snafu when we got there, and it took them about 15 minutes to take our order. In the meantime, we weren't even served water. Our waiter, David, seemed a bit ambivalent to our plight at first, but then at a the end of the meal, he brought us free ice cream. They didn't seem particularly busy, so I'm not really sure what the delay was about. This restaurant does seem well decorated and that it would be a nice place to go for a fancy occasion. read more

K-pop trio dined at this large restaurant at the corner of 3rd Avenue and Union Street. I started with a glass of Nicolas Feiullatte Champagne ($18) while our leader chose a Ginger Martini ($15). The third member was satisfied with water as she doesn't drink alcohol. We ordered family style: Siam Lettuce Cups ($32), Thai Passion Tofu ($19), Thai Spring Rolls ($12), and Thai Mushroom ($16.50) for starters, and a small order of Fragrant Duck ($26) and Nam's Lamb Chops ($37) as our mains. Each dish was wonderful ... there wasn't a dish that we didn't like. My favorites were lamb chops and tofu / eggplant dish. One ordered a Chocolate Mousse ($8.50) for dessert while I had a cup of coffee ($6). We walked out sated and satisfied and headed to Westlake Center to catch the monorail to Seattle Center. This was a great meal at a very reasonable cost, I would definitely return. read more

Really enjoyed our experience at Wild Ginger after seeing a show at Benaroya. The service was good and the food was yummy. We each ordered a small glass of wine, which I thought was enough and glad I didn't get a larger pour. For dinner, we had the assam prawns and sayur lodeh. Both were very good, but the sayur lodeh takes the cake! The prawns had a very distinct smell that I didn't like. Overall good experience and easy place to go for dinner before or after a show. Plenty of pescatarian options but could use more vegetarian and vegan options! read more

The food here was excellent and easily the highlight of the experience. Everything we ordered was flavorful and well prepared. My only criticism is that many dishes are served à la carte, and it feels like some of them are clearly meant to be eaten with rice. Having to pay extra for rice seemed a bit excessive, especially since the portions were quite small. It's disappointing because the food itself was so good, and a more generous approach to the sides would have made the meal even better. read more

Great service. We had a group of about 30 people and must admit usually I don't expect very good things when the party is so large. Food came out fast, the waiters were very helpful providing a few options for us to Co side which would make it easier for everyone to share or if we wanting individual or if we wanted them to be selecting for us based on some of the thing we wanted and anything we didn't and they could compliment it with their choice. read more

Expensive and not quite the hype I expected from friends. The Sea Bass Cha Ca is now over $50 and they bring you 8 little pieces of white fish over a large dollop of white bland noodles. We had just been to the Seattle Philharmonic Matinee so enjoyed a free appetizer (spring rolls) but none of the staff seemed aware of the offer and I had to show them the program to prove a point. $200 later and I felt I didn't quite get my money's worth from a mediocre meal. I don't think I'll return. I went because so many friends have raved about it over the years but now I fear they have lost their quality and edge. read more

This is a 3.5 stars because I like the taste of the food and the ambiance is nice, upscale but not TOO upscale. The bathrooms were nice. Service is standard, nothing amazing, but definitely satisfactory. We had a work conference in Seattle and came in a small group. The Pad Thai is very tasty, but value-wise, I think it was a little bit pricy for a serving of pad thai ($27 after tax and tip). Even in DC where food is super pricy, I've never had pad thai over $20. I think I would agree with some of the other yelpers that this is just a little bit over-priced. It just depends on what you value, if you value the ambiance, then it's probably not overpriced. I think I place importance on the overall value, with emphasis on food/price point match, which I didn't love about this place. However, I still loved my experience here. read more

Many of my Seattle friends and colleagues love wild ginger. I didn't find it exceptional, but they have solid food options. The atmosphere is inviting, and the servers are friendly and attentive. So overall, I had a really great experience; however, there was nothing that really stood out from the cuisine. It was tasty, a bit expensive, but overall, a really nice place to visit if you are in the Seattle area. read more

Celebrated my birthday at this place and had an amazing time with the atmosphere, service, and food. Chocolate mousse dessert so rich it would make Willy Wonka jealous. Before that, I enjoyed the Seabass Cha ca rice noodle dish which showed a multidimensional degree of flavor. An exotic adventure with every bite! Had some of the finest-crafted peanut sauce to go with meaty and succulent chicken satay, plus pickled veggies that greatly enhance the overall experience of that appetizer. Also, Alfonzo the manager runs a steady ship and we were blessed to have such a friendly and attentive waiter in Kadir. This was a truly prestigious dining journey. Broccoli and mushroom stir-fry was a fusion of a lot of flavors that went together as well as a Super Bowl-winning Seahawks team. 10/10, recommended for a visit to any Seattle resident or even a tourist, who is searching for a prime example of this city's high-end restaurant scene at its most deservedly hyped. read more

This is one of those restaurants I wish I could give a half star rating. This is truly a 3.5 star restaurant in my opinion. Service is good, food is generally solid and safe, and the venue is nice. I would not personally come here on my own but would not mind at all for business lunch or dinner. I must have tried this restaurant about 10 times now over many years and I have to say that the quality of food remained the same before and after the pandemic. This is very impressive since many restaurants have failed to maintain their food quality. What I mean by the food being safe is that there is literally something for everyone here. Not the most authentic Asian food but that is not my expectation when visiting this venue. The main reason I wouldn't come here on my own is that the dishes are just too expensive. My favorite dishes here are the Duck and Seven Flavored beef. Egg rolls were above average (super crispy!) and the curry was surprisingly packing some heat Dessert (gelato)... you can just skip. I don't know why I even ordered it. Seven Flavored beef here is the most competitive dish imo. Great flavors and the meat they use is high quality. It was pretty busy on a Thursday evening and I was surprised to find out that they close so early! (9pm). Recommended for big groups and business meals. Food is good but not necessarily authentic to the claimed region (and that's okay!). read more

Last night was the second time I stopped by Wild Ginger in the last month or so. And just like the first, it was incredible. We were in a tight spot this time because we had a curtain at 5th Avenue, and even though they were incredibly busy they were still able to make it work, and we made it right on time. One of my favorite things about this place is the "shared plate" dynamic they have. I love ordering a couple dishes and essentially sharing them with the table, so everyone gets to try some. This normally doesn't work, but the way the food is presented it's almost expected to be done this way. Everything I've had so far on the menu has been stellar, from the mongolian noodles and Szechuan beans to the sea bass, scallop, and prawn dishes. And prices are still very reasonable, especially for a chic place in downtown Seattle. Highly recommend anyone with a theater date at 5th Avenue, Benaroya, or the Triple Door give them a shot. Absolutely stellar experience. read more

Our server Celeste was very attentive in providing recommendations. Our main dishes were savory and flavorful. The sauce was soooo delicious and the meat and potatoes were a perfect fit of taste and tenderness. Definitely recommend and will visit on our next return trip when in town. read more

I am sad that this place fell short of our expectations. The atmosphere of the restaurant was beautiful and very on theme with a Thai restaurant. Our server came out quickly and was friendly. I was dining with a coworker so we ordered a few plates we planned to split. The portions here are large. Starting off to drink we both ordered a ginger ale. There aren't free refills which is always a pet peeve of mine so after one ginger ale we both switched to water. The appetizer we ordered was their lettuce wraps that had halibut in it. The lettuce was great but the main filler was overwhelmed with onion. Not the best experience. I ended up just picking out a piece of fish and lettuce and nothing else. The mains: chicken pad Thai and a prawn dish. The prawn dish neither of us liked. The sauce on top had a strange flavor and it was so thick we couldn't just scrape it off to enjoy the shrimp. The chicken pad Thai was the star. Thankfully this saved the meal for us. We both really enjoyed it and the portion was plenty to satisfy us both since our other orders weren't great. All in all if you come here get the pad Thai. I would look somewhere else and try to find a better overall experience. read more

I came to Wild Ginger from a recommendation and it did not disappoint. The location is quite perfect between the business district and the tourist area, which made it easy to find. I love the two floor concept and the large bar area. While it wasn't 100% full when I arrived, there was a steady uptick in clientele and there was a wait when I left. My bar seat was perfect as the bartender was very thoughtful bopping back and forth between guests. He told me that the seven flavor beef was one of his favorite menu items, which is perfect because that was in my eye. It definitely did not disappoint and was quite incredible. The beef was prepared well and was a great cut so it wasn't chewy or tough. The sauce had tons of flavor and was blended well so I never felt one flavor overwhelm any of the others. Be sure to get a side of rice with the dish - although it's large the rice adds the consistency that is needed. I also had the spicy Thai margarita - if you're faint on spice, avoid it. While it's not super spicy, it's definitely got a kick. Honestly, more of a kick than I had assumed so it took me by surprise, but I still liked it. read more

I hadn't been to the downtown Seattle Wild Ginger in forever. It did not disappoint. I went as part of an intimate family wedding celebration, so we had the private banquet room. It was a nice size for the 11 of us. The wait staff was very prompt and kept our water glasses filled. The food came out swiftly and was overall very delicious. Our appetizer course was Spring Rolls and a beef Satay. Both were extremely delicious. The spring rolls were very hot and crisped to perfection. The sweet and sour sauce was nice and light. The beef had a delicious spice. The main meal was pretty ordered and included chinese sausage & shrimp fried rice, thai wide rice noodles, Green Curry chicken curry, and sichuan green beans. The fried rice was so good with the bits of sausage and the fried egg had a nice runny yolk that blended in very well. The wide rice noodles were a hit with everyone. The curry was probably my least favorite as it didn't have the balanced flavor of coconut, and curry that I normally like (just my palate's opinion). The sichuan green beans were almost perfectly fried and had a great flavor. We had the mandi sorbet for dessert and it was a nice and creamy delicious palate cleanser. We brought our own wine so can't speak to their wine list. My only complaint is that the waiter was not cognizant of trying to provide even pours across the 10 of us that were drinking wine. Probably cause he doesn't normally have to do that. The sad observation was that it was a Friday night and the restaurant was fairly empty. Seattle has more than its fair share of transients and so I'm sure it keeps people away. But this restaurant is worth the visit. Just park as close to the restaurant as possible and avoid walking down the North part of 3rd ave. read more

We had a business dinner here on the recommendation of our client. This restaurant has a fairly large dining room and is very comfortable. The only nitpick I have is that the windows wrap around the corner of the building, but it has a weird location for its entrance that's not easily seen from the corner. That aside, it has a focused menu of Thai-inspired flavors that allowed our group to make a number of selections, served family style on the lazy susan mounted at the center of the table. We ordered the sea bass, kung pao chicken, green curry chicken, pad thai, a soup, and a couple of apps. The food was problematic in that there was an hammering use of the basil leaves that overshadowed nearly every single dish. The kung pao chicken was the only one that let its sweet and spicy elements shine through. The green curry was a particular disappointment with a sauce that had a gritty texture to it. The sea bass was overcooked and also completely swamped by the basil. Our soup (not sure which one) was laden with noodles and not nearly enough broth to truly enjoy the bright flavors. The service was a highlight here, with very expeditious ordering and delivery of our entrees. The kitchen seemed to be "phoning it in" unfortunately. Overall, this place is just "ok" for me but I think I'd try a different place the next time we visit Seattle. read more

I'm not sure why the average reviews for Wild Ginger are relatively low, I was worried when I booked a work dinner for 19 people that it would not be as good as I remembered it being the last time I was here which was many years ago. Service was terrific - thank you Kelly for being the bartender, server, screen setter upper and more! Wild Ginger did not disappoint! Every dish we had was excellent, including the two appetizers. For a private event, it was a really great location, and we were able to have an open bar in a separate balcony area with our two appetizers before heading into our private room which came equipped with a screen and projector and all the cords to connect our laptop. We did not order any sound amplification which was a little bit of a problem since there was a large party in the room next door making a lot of noise, but we were able to work around it. But onto the food. - Thai spring rolls - 5/5, light and tasty! - Chicken satay - 5/5, really tender, small pieces of chicken on skewers which made it easy to eat especially at a work event when you don't want to be seen gnawing large pieces of chicken off a skewer! - Chicken pad thai - 4/5, very good - Sichuan string beans - 5/5, tender and fresh - Sayur Lodeh - 5*5, this Javanese vegetarian curry with tofu puffs, tofu puffs, chayote, eggplant, peppers, green beans, cabbage and okra, served with pandan turmeric rice cake was amazing. Because everything was served family style I think by the time I got the curry there were no more rice cakes to be found, alas. - Seven flavor beef - 5*5, tender thin slices of beef (again, so good for a work dinner, no trying to eat a big piece of meat while talking with colleagues), very flavorful on a bed of fresh bean sprouts - sea bass cha ca - 5/5, topped with crunchy herbs - coconut sago - 4/5, topped with coconut cream. I thought there was too much sago, not enough cream, but that's how I like my desserts There were many GF, V, Vegan, dairy-free options for my many guests who had these dietary restrictions and Kelly our hostess did a great job of describing everything upfront so folks knew what they could safely eat. It made my job so much easier, thank you Kelly! read more
