What a gem! We are here for a few days from out of town and had dinner at Wild Ginger. The server recommendations were so delicious. We had Thai spring rolls, seven-flavor beef, and sichuan green beans. The flavors were amazing and everything tasted fresh and delicious. read more

Oof, did not have a great experience at Wild Ginger. I came for a friend's birthday dinner; they couldn't find her reservation for a couple minutes in their system, which freaked us out. Turns out they scrolled past it and the table had already been set up, whew. The Northern Style Pork that I got was disappointing. The flavors were really dull and the pork itself was just mush. I don't think there was any pork belly, just pork shoulder. I felt like I was eating slop :/ And for the price they are selling entrees, you would think it would come with rice. I got a Thai Tea as well. One dish + rice + NA drink = $50. Sheesh. For the price and the quality, I would not come back. read more

For my last night in Seattle, I wanted something close to the hotel, quick, and easy. Wild Ginger fit the bill location-wise, so my colleague and I popped in... only to realize we'd made our reservation for the other location. Oops. ‍ This location didn't have any tables available, so we grabbed seats at the bar. The first bar area was right by the kitchen and it was very smoky, so we relocated to a bar table on the opposite side, which was much more comfortable. Food I started with the Siam lettuce cups and they were refreshing, flavorful, and genuinely unique. Perfect for sharing between two people. For my entrée, I ordered the seven flavor beef and added a side of jasmine rice. The beef itself was delicious and well seasoned, but it needed a bit more sauce. And respectfully, rice should come with it. Having to order and pay separately for rice felt unnecessary. Service Our server was great. He was new, but he didn't hesitate to go back to the kitchen to confirm ingredients since we're gluten free and had a few questions. I appreciated that effort. The bartender wasn't very attentive when we first sat down, but he warmed up and ended up being friendly and funny. Ambiance The restaurant is beautiful and pretty large. It sits on the corner and is wrapped in windows, which gives it great natural light and a nice city vibe. Price It's on the expensive side compared to portion sizes. Some items felt overpriced, and I say that as someone who dines out often. I don't mind paying for quality, but I do expect the portions and pairings to make sense. Overall, a solid option for a convenient downtown dinner with strong flavors and a pretty setting, just be prepared for a slightly higher bill than you might expect. read more

Returned to Wild Ginger at 6:45 on a Friday night and was seated immediately. I ordered the kickin mango to drink and loved it. It's got a nice kick to it. Had the Chinese sausage and shrimp fried rice and enjoyed it, good portions. I took a good amount home in a box. We also loved the green beans which we ordered as a side. The green beans and kickin mango were my favorite. read more

Finally tried this restaurant as a celebratory dinner for my daughter and I after helping her move. The two appetizers we had (beef satay and the Sri Lankan sampler appetizer) were excellent! The reason for my 2-star rating is the incompetence of our waiter. I'm allergic to shellfish and pointed this out when I ordered my entree. He acknowledged the allergen and said he would inform the kitchen. We placed our dinner entrees and enjoyed the appetizers. After awhile, he delivered my daughters salad entree. We kept waiting for him to bring my entree and after about 20 minutes, he finally comes back to our table and tells me there's a problem with my entree as the sauce contained shellfish. Why did it take 20 minutes for him to tell me this??! He offered me the menu again to order something else but by this time it was nearing 9 pm and didn't want the kitchen to be rushing me substitute entree. It's incomprehensible to me as to why it took this long for him to tell me my chosen entree isn't available without shellfish. I would think that would be a basic and immediate information you tell your customer! He offered to comp my daughter's salad but by this time I was not feeling great about the service. My advice, if you have a food allergy, ask to be informed immediately if an entree has the food allergen so you're not wasting your time waiting for food to come out. Unbelievable. read more

Wild Ginger is fabulous. We ate here tonight and the food was extraordinary delicious. if you are lucky, Kadin will be your server! He provided the perfect amount of attention with a delightful personality. He asked us if we had been to Wild Ginger before. "No, this was our first time." So he did a quick review of the menu offering useful information. We chose a land curry dish and the Indonesian beef. oh my goodness. The beef and lamb were incredibly tender and the sauces with just enough spice. I highly recommend Wild Ginger. Plus, lovely ambience. read more

Food - best thing was the duck w/ the steamed buns. DELICIOUS. the steamed bread was really good. i know its just plain bread but sometimes the texture is too soft and mushy where the bread sticks to your teeth or too hard/dry where the bread crumbles. but this bread was really good. we ordered a few other items family style, but that is the standout dish. Service - good service, but kind of weird. the kids in our party ordered orange juice, but were given something else. when the server went back to the bar to get orange juice, they were told there wasn't any orange juice. guessing they just decided to give them whatever they had but didn't notify the server the OJ wasn't available. same with the chicken tenders. they ordered it with ketchup, but ran out. instead of asking if they kids wanted something else, they just gave them sweet chili sauce. would have preferred to have a choice or a heads up. Ambiance - fancy! some outdoor seating. we sat inside and they had a good spot for our party of 8. read more

In my humble opinion, whack. I get that Thai food has a wide variety of interpretations but I don't think that bland and uninspired is one of them. I've had many different Pad Thais and Khao Sois and none of them have been flavorless or had soggy noodles...and none of the Khao Sois were called "7 Elements Soup" either. Blargh. Workers and service are friendly enough and it has a nice upscale vibe, so if you're looking for a fairly inoffensive date night (and your date also happens to be sensitive to strong/any flavors) this is an absolute perfect spot to visit. read more

I have been fortunate enough, to be taken here several times. Our drink of choice was the wild ginger daiquiri. I love rum. Mango and lime juice were an added treat, so had to try these. These were very balanced drinks. The kind that go down easy and then give an added punch later. In a zen zone with drinks and appetizers. Started out with the appetizers of Singapore beef and Thai mushroom. Singapore beef for the recognition of my friend from Singapore. Loved the spice combination on the beef. The lemongrass, ginger and peanut dipping sauce created a tsunami of flavors as you enjoyed this. As I mature, bolder flavors appeal more to me. Vegetable oriented dishes are also more appealing. The Thai mushroom was both tasty and complex in flavors. About 65% full and happy at this point. Our table also ordered Siam lettuce cups. These had some unfamiliar components of jicama, sea bass, lime juice, chili and roasted peanuts. An unexpected and delicious combination of ingredients I would have never thought to mix together. Our next order for our main dishes , was the large order of fragrant duck, sea bass and lamb chops. Each was unique and delicious in a separate way. I think my favorite was the duck. Duck is hard to find in most restaurants. The crispy skin, the mix of sweet and savory spices, the plum sauce and the pancakes made this an incredible dish. One you keep eating even after you are full, because it is so delicious. Sea bass had a variety of herbs to enhance the flavor of sea bass. They used gangal as a primary seasoning. This gave a more Indian influence rather than Asian to me. Enjoyed this flavor. The lamb chops were so tender and spiced well. The menu notes they use hoisin, fresh toasted coconut and crushed peanuts in the sauce. Great flavors. On to noodles, as one must have these. The Thai seafood noodles had a balance of an assortment of seafood, with light hints of basil and chili that only enhanced, not overpowered the delicate seafood. A dish one cannot stop eating. Too full for the delicious chocolate mousse dessert. Could only eat a few mouthfuls of this decadent dessert. What an incredible meal overall. read more

Warm and friendly staff willing to make modifications to dishes to make them to your liking. Portion sizes are generous and dishes are bursting with flavor, especially the coconut kale & carrot sambol salad - delicious! Lovely sake selection, too. We did dislike the curry but were promptly refunded without question. We can't wait to return and try the rest of the menu. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Food is good, but wait staff has attention deficit disorder. Not once but twice very specifically asked for a drink with a LEMON. Moments later they dash out with a drink with a LIME in it. They did this twice the same night with the same hour. Leave the drink untouched and ask, again, for a LEMON. The comedian / waiter comes back with two lemon wedges on a wet paper napkin, so I can remove the errant lime myself and use the soggy napkin lemons instead. Total joke and quite tacky, ok in a private home but this racing around and unfocused service model is a big miss. read more

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 read more

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! read more

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! read more

A great find in a trendy "Amazon" neighbour where new developments and Amazon spheres and offices are located. Great green curry chicken and spring rolls were crispy and delicious.

At the recommendation of our hotel concierge, we stopped in for a late lunch / early dinner and were spoiled by the attention from our amazing waiter. He expertly guided us through menu recommendations and was always within reach throughout our meal, finishing our sentences - "another beer?" "more sauce?" "please try some of this gelato to offset the heat" (who knew?!) We had the duck (try it!!), the Mongolian noodles (nice kick and rich flavor), and bok choy (clso flavorful) on the side. A different chef came out with more buns for the duck entree. Just such a welcoming atmosphere. We will be back! read more

Really delicious food all around. The service was top notch and the ambiance lively but not loud.

I'm in town for business and went here for a dinner by myself. They only had seating in the bar area (it was empty, but apparently there were a lot of reservations), but that's fine. Staff was friendly and attentive. I had the Malaysian satey and the duck. The chicken skewers were nicely charred and came with a peanut sauce. The sauce was a little understated, but with the charred flavor of the chicken it worked and was quite tasty. The duck had crispy, well seasoned skin, and the fluffy bao with the plum sauce complimented the tender duck quite well. Overall it was a little pricier than Im used to for Chinese food, but it was very good. read more

No picture this time around because it got over even before I could remember to click photos! Food - I ordered Mongolian noodles, Siam lettuce cups, Hanoi Tuna. 11/10. They were all so flavorful! Service - The lady who served us was the kindest! Very polite. And all the food ordered came in time. Also got hot towels to wipe our hands. Amazing feeling haha Ambience - Nothing out of the world but it's neat and decent. Pretty wide space. I had no complaints. The restaurant felt overpriced but hey! Atleast it was good!! read more

Food was awesome! I tried their mangoljan noodles and chicken pot stickers and both were AWESOME! Service is a bit questionable. They aren't super attentive, the staff is also a bit insensitive. I went with a friend who is 8 months pregnant and they gave us the high chairs table. When I asked them to change it, they moved us to the table in the back near the washroom even though they had 5 booths empty (they were empty even when we left) Ambience- surrounded by glass windows overlooking some of the busiest streets in Seattle. Was very pretty read more

I came here with a friend of mine last Friday for a celebratory dinner. Very fancy spot for any special occasion. Here's what we got: Malay Chicken Skewers: 9/10 - Very tender & lots of flavor. The ginger sauce on the side was amazing. Definitely a shareable dish. Is it worth the price? Probably not, but the flavors were out of this world. Fragrant Duck Buns: 10/10 - I would come here just for this. The roast duck was very tasty -- light crisp skin & juicy meat. The bun itself was delicious. Very nice pairing. Definitely worth the money you spend. 7 Flavored Beef: 5/10 - Super mid. You can probably fine this flavor profile at any other restaurant to be honest. Not worth it! Overall I would come back here for a nice dinner. The staff were very friendly, quick to clean up your mess. They checked up on us regularly which was very nice. Welcoming to all guest. Very good job! read more

My friends wanted a group dining and in Seattle since my friend has officially moved to Seattle, so this was more of a celebration dinner. I chose this one over the Downtown location, well, I don't need to spell it out. But Amazon buildings just look so beautiful at night. We had a reservation, so they gladly sat us at our table, and to be honest, we filled out that table that night with our friends, and ordered a lot on the menu so we can have a good taste of the restaurant and its style of Asian Fusion. Funny enough, I walked into the restaurant thinking it was Asian Fusion, because front of house just look like a lot of white people, but as I look into the kitchen it is all people of colour. I am happy to see that as I know their spice levels will be on point and I was correct. Our table ordered the following: Papaya Salad- This was delicious, as it was perfectly spiced with Thai Red chilis. On top of that, the way they prepared it was marinade it either over night, it loses the crunch of the papaya but it was extremely delicious. 4/5 Fragant Duck- These were presented like the typical Chinese dinner of eating duck at a restaurant. It comes with over sized steamed baos, and sliced up duck, and plum sauce with pepper and some greens. What it is missing are chives. I wanted chives with this dish, as it would add a delicious taste and rounded out the plum sauce with perfect acidity. I loved their mix of their plum sauce and the way we had to mix the plum sauce with the peper/salt combo. Good rendition of a duck dish for sure. 4.5/5 Chicken Pad-Thai - Cute, but it needs a bit more spice to this. A bit sweet for my taste. Maybe add some red chilis or either some more texture. I do enjoy they add both chicken and tofu as a delicious protein. Another thing that I wanted from this plate was wok heat. It was missing it. Either it was wok cooked or it was sitting on the passing a bit too long. I felt the heat died on this plate. But really, the texture is really missing for me on this plate and the additional spices. 3/5 Angkor Wat Chicken- Surprisingly, this was extremely delicious! I had lot of this as I love a good black bean style fry dish. This plate had perfectly spiced food. On top of that, you can REALLY REALLY feel the heat of this dish. It was a good wok style of cooking for this one!! I wish it wasn't a chicken meat but a beef one instead. Regardless, I would 100% recommend this dish if you are searching for that delicious style black bean dish. 4/5 Green Curry Chiken- MEH. I am allowed to say this because it was missing on all points of being a good curry dish. It wasn't spicy enough, the potatoes weren't cooked throughly and the curry was just bland. And to be honest, ANOTHER CHICKEN? They need to add different types of meats onto the menu. To add like a flair to the dish, add lines of coconut milk as a plating style to add presentation. 2.5/5 But, I can't just discredit the kitchen, their drinks were on point and they were delicious. I tried every drink my friends ordered, and on top of that my favourite drink of the night was the Suntory Time. The darkness of the tea was a perfect mix with that whisky. I will only recommend to friends who wants drinks and small bites, other than that, I think a large dinner will need a revamp of the menu or either add more spice. read more

Wild Ginger had mixed reviews, mostly because of issues with the service and value but it sounded like the food was good so we decided to order takeout from there. We got Peking duck, 7 flavor beef, pad thai, Thai spring rolls, Mongolian noodles and flank steak, green curry, and two Thai teas. For reasons that I don't understand, the beef and curry don't come with rice. So we had to order a couple of sides of rice. Five entrees, an appetizer, the rice, and two Thai teas was about $150. While I did think it was a little pricey, the value was very good. Portions were large and we all had leftovers. And more importantly, the food was delicious. The duck was moist, the lettuce was crisp, the buns were fluffy, and the plum sauce perfectly accompanied it all. The noodles with flank steak were probably the best bites I had but the 7 flavor beef was also very flavorful. The pad Thai was a bit clumpy for me but I did appreciate that they were willing to make it without tofu. I would return to Wild Ginger if I were back in the area. The dining room was quite busy despite our going close to closing time. Service was ok. I think I spoke with an employee on her first day so she didn't seem sure about much that I asked. read more

I love this place so much. The only thing I ever get here is the sea bass because it is so incredibly prepared. The flavor of the sauce is delicious and it just falls apart in your mouth. It is quite pricey though. My only complaint is that there wasn't enough sauce for my side of rice, when usually I go to the Bellevue location and there is a lot of sauce with the dish. Otherwise fantastic! read more

First time trying this Place and many people talked about this place to me. I didn't regret trying it. The food are super good! You should definitely try this place at least once. The only part I want to give suggestion is, I totally understand it is short staffed and it's kinda busy during that time (kinda not really during that time). Our server was really ignoring us the whole time even if we make eye contact couple times and knowing we need things. My friend has to ask him and other person to help. We had to wait to get service for a long time, and my friend had to flag him down eventually. When he walked to our table he had that b face and wasn't really great service. Overall he kept ignoring us and left us hanging for long time. We didn't say anything because we don't want him to lost his job but he should definitely work on his attitude and response. read more

I've been wanting to come here for so long cause everyone would rave about their food. I enjoyed the food but it wasn't my favorite. I was expecting so much more flavor and to knock my socks off with delight. Don't get me wrong it was good but wasn't worth the hype. I was pumped to try the fragrant duck but it wasn't exploding with flavor which I thought it would. The green beans were the best plate we got. We got one course to go along with the other stuff and it was plenty of food for two. Drinks were decent. Service was fantastic! They have a huge bar in area in the back which was cool but they haven't reopened it since covid, bummer for them. Hope it picks back up!

I've always heard good things about Wild Ginger but never got a chance to try it for myself, and it delivered so well! I came for lunch on a weekday and they were able to seat us for a group of 9 people right away. The menu has so many good options to choose from so it was hard to make a decision. I ended up ordering the lamb chops, which was a fantastic decision! The sauce on the lamb chops was nutty, sweet and spicy. The lamb fell so easily off the bone and was cooked very well. The lamb chops were served with a bowl of rice, and I'd highly recommend eating the rice with the sauce! The waiters were very friendly and walked by often to see if the table needed anything and to fill us up on water. The ambiance is pretty classy and has a nice open space great for small or large parties! It is a bit on the expensive side so if you don't mind dropping a few extra bucks for your meal would suggest coming here as the quality of there dishes definitely raises the bar. If you're in the downtown area looking for a place to eat would highly recommend Wild Ginger! read more
