The food was delicious. I had cauliflower curry. The service was friendly and even took our photo for #timeleft

We always walked by Wild Ginger and when we had some out of town guests, we went out for dinner here. The food and service were fantastic. We will definitely be returning.

Green Papaya Salad
Travis W.

The menu is a pleasant combination of foods from many Asian cuisines. The food was delicious and the staff was very helpful.

Fragrant Duck
Alan Z.

Came here right after work on a weekday and it wasn't busy at all. Got the fragrant duck and it was pretty good. I got the half which is shown in the picture. The less expensive one is the quarter. Overall duck was pretty decent and flavorful. It was just a little dry and some of the skin was overly salty but not too bad.

Mongolian Noodles and Chicken Chieu Salad

First evening in Seattle before our Alaska Cruise. Stopped in for a bite. Absolutely delicious food, good drinks, and great service. Highly recommend.

Literally the WORST restaurant I've been to in Seattle. If I could give 0 stars, I would. Came around 5:30pm on a Thursday night with a friend. There were about 6 other small parties. We ordered spring rolls, beef satay, and tofu. We got the spring rolls and beef satay about 20 min after we ordered. They messed up our order and took the second one away. The portions were so small, the food was super bland and just greasy. I'm pretty sure the spring rolls were frozen food, at least they tasted like it. We left before they brought out the tofu. The total for the food was $30 when it should've been $12-15. I also got the lemongrass lemonade which was pretty much water with a bit of lemon juice. My friend got a coke and it was $6. Save your money and stomachs and go somewhere else to eat

Review based on two visits: They are really fortunate to have such awesome staff. Kind, professional, helpful. Atmosphere of building is nice, simple, big, accommodating. What they do well: desserts, prompt service, hand towels between meals that are nicely hot and refreshing. The lamb chops and lettuce cups were a good choice. What they can work on: quality of rice, there's just better tasting brands, way to cook, and be fresh. And honestly, cocktails were mediocre for me.

Thai Chicken Satay
Janice H.

I just got the chicken satay and our friends split the crispy spring rolls. Spring rolls were solid, though those are pretty hard to mess up! Got the chicken satay appetizer since I wasn't super hungry, I think it ran me $13-15? It came with 6 little flavorful skewers with a slightly-sweet and chunky peanut dipping sauce, little cubes of sticky rice, and a tiny salad. Delightful! We came in at a very odd hour so hardly anyone was in the building. It was very spacious (two floors) with a slightly upscale ambiance. Servers were friendly and attentive!

Curry
Alvin W.

The duck was absolutely worth coming back for. I would highly recommend! Here's what we ordered: * Fragrant Duck: This duck was amazing, and I didn't expect such delicious steamed buns. This is a must-have and the reason for this 5-star review. I will happily come back *just for this dish, and I highly recommend you do the same. * Seven Flavor Beef: The beef here was very tender and well-prepared. The sauce was delicious, although a bit too salty. This dish does need rice! I would say this is a step up from your neighborhood mongolian beef, but I don't think it blew me out of this world. * (Curry): This dish was a bit bland, and the curry didn't have much taste. I wouldn't recommend this dish, but definitely try the other two! As other reviews mentioned before, food did take a while, but the waitstaff is very attentive with water and getting seated was a breeze. We were seated right by the window, so we had lovely views of folks mooning us from the street -- there may be more ideal seating areas elsewhere. All in all, I will be back... possibly just for the duck!

Went for my birthday last month and was impressed.Absolutely loved the ambience of Wild Ginger, and the service was great! Never have I ever dined at a restaurant that provided hot towels 5-star restaurant with affordable cuisine, I highly recommend the Indonesian beef; very sweet dish. And don't get me started on the ice cream!

Noi Thai Cuisine is where my Thai best friend and I go whenever she is in town! It is one of the…read morebest Thai restaurants in Seattle and is certified as Thai Select which certifies its Thai authenticity. They have locations both in Downtown Seattle and Greenlake, but I have only been to their Downtown Seattle location which has a beautiful view of the Puget Sound. The atmosphere is dark, trendy, and modern- perfect for a date night or nice evening out. While they are a white table cloth, sit-down restaurant, you can dress casually or dress up a bit - both are completely acceptable. This most recent visit I ordered the COCONUT PANANG CURRY with chicken ($25.95) and my friend ordered her favorite dish, SALMON GARLIC FRIED RICE ($28.95). On a past visit, I've had their CLAY POT SHRIMP & GLASS NOODLES (KOONG OB WOONSEN) ($27.95) which was absolutely fantastic and has had me hooked on Pad Woonsen ever since! I saw the COCONUT PANANG CURRY recently in my Instagram feed and knew I had to get it. It is served in a whole coconut (yes a real, fresh coconut!) and comes with a champagne flute of fresh coconut juice from the coconut they hollowed out and a side of Jasmine rice. The curry was rich, flavorful, and full of Thai basil and peppers. The coconut juice was light and refreshing and a great contrast to the thick curry. The SALMON GARLIC FRIED RICE (which I've sampled before), is gigantic, aromatic, and served with a giant grilled garlic butter fillet of salmon on top. The salmon is extremely moist, oily, and bursting with flavor. The rice is fragrant and has garlic paste, red bell pepper, carrots, and green onion. If you're looking for a tasty and protein-packed meal, this is the dish! Parking is honestly tough in this area as it's located on 1st. They have limited street parking and a few paid parking garage options around. I recommend light railing or Ubering here if you're not already in the downtown Seattle area. Service is always great and we always get our food quickly, no matter how crowded they are. The staff also take the time to check up on your table during your meal. Overall: 5/5 for food, 5/5 for service, 5/5 for atmosphere

I have been searching for a hainanese chicken / khao man gai that would blow my socks off and after…read moresome enthusiastic recommendations for Aroy from my friends and the general internet, I finally made my way out to Shoreline to try this place out. Even though I really wanted to love this place, this place was definitely overhyped; I'd say it's about the same level as A Ma's, which I also didn't enjoy. It might be because the place has gone super viral as we ended up waiting 80 minutes on a Saturday night, so quality control might be more difficult at this point. Tip: the iPad will say the wait is 30 minutes, do not trust the iPad. Hainan Chicken was tasteless and overcooked. The texture was way too chewy and was my least favorite preparation of the night. Gai Tod (fried) was better with a crispy outside, but still a tad overcooked. Gai Yang (grilled) was definitely the best version of chicken and is solid enough if you live nearby, but definitely not driving out of your way or waiting for. Rice wasn't super fluffy and I just prefer garlic rice over ginger. The chicken stock is probably the best part of the rice plates. Upside is the joint is definitely family owned and they do their best to provide good service in spite of the chaos. They'll take your order before you get seated, so the food comes out fast and are generally very sweet when checking in.

When entering they had a live keyboardist and singer playing Valerie which I was a fan of. We stopped in at 10pm on a week night and were sat right away and service was prompt and friendly. We chose fried calamari for an appetizer which was super delicious. My boyfriend thought the sauce that came with the calamari was too spicy for his liking but for me it was super sweet and paired perfectly with the calamari. We enjoyed the appetizer thoroughly and I would say it was my favorite part of the meal. My man ordered his favorite Thai dish Panang chicken Curry spice level 1. He said his meal was delicious but big portion so we both took to go our leftovers. I tried the curry and it was super tasty. I ordered my go to prawns Pad Thai and chose spice level 3. The Pad Thai was delicious and large portion but level 3 was not spicy at all so if you love spicy like me choose above level 3. Not the best Pad Thai I've ever had being honest but still yummy especially for late night. Definitely a great late night choice with large portions!

My friend and I walked in at 9:20 (~40 mins before closing) and got a seat at the bar. They have happy hour from 9pm-close so we ordered the curry from the happy hour menu ($10), kra pao with an egg (~$20), and drinks (lychee martini $9, Thai-Tini $9). Such a great deal!! My favorite thing had to be the yellow curry, it was so creamy and had a nice kick. The kra pao was also very good, we picked spice 2 which was pretty hot but manageable. I would highly recommend making a reservation in advance, we got pretty lucky to get a walk in spot but the place was totally filled. A nice place for an upscale meal with a friend or a date!

Vibe - When I walked in, it felt like I was in a nighttime district on the streets of Thailand, eating and drinking whatever they had available. The vibe was that of a dark ambiance, with neon lights shining throughout the restaurant. Hospitality - The front-of-house staff was well-mannered and courteous, and they seated us quickly on a Monday night at 8:00 PM. It was a relatively busy night. However, we ordered fairly quickly, and the food came out within 10 to 15 minutes. Food - Food-wise, we ordered the Fried Papaya, Crispy Fried Rice, Khao Soi, Tom Yum, and Crispy Pork Belly Fried Rice. Gosh, I have to say, I was blown away by the flavors and the portion sizes! Typically, four dishes can serve three people, but I felt like these could have served five. The fried papaya salad was lightly battered with a typical papaya salad dipping sauce featuring a base of fish sauce, green beans, tomatoes, and chilies. It was good. The crispy fried rice was served with lettuce wraps, and OMG, I kid you not when I tell you this is some of the crispiest rice I've ever had. It's hard to find, but when you do, you can't wait to take another bite. I thought the khao soi overall was not bad. I enjoyed that they put the fried noodles on top so that you can mix them into the curry when it's brought out. Lastly, the pork belly was well-cooked with a crispy, crunchy exterior, and served with delicious Thai-flavored fried rice! Drinks - We ordered the Thai lemon iced tea and the Thai tea cremosa. Both tasted good. Overall, I was very satisfied with this place, and if I lived here, I could see myself grabbing some late-night bites with the homies.
