Thai food is my most favorite food in the world. Love that Wild Ginger is in a convenient location, so I can easily satisfy my cravings! Food: Had the Thai seafood noodles. Noodles were a good chewy texture and flavored well. It didn't feel too greasy or salty. I just wish there was more seafood considering how pricy the dish was. Service: Service was very attentive and kind. Staff was always around. Ambiance: Very upscale, refined, and clean restaurant. It's just a really elegant space that feels fancy. Tables are nicely spaced apart so you don't feel too crowded or hectic. Overall great ambiance. read more

Stopped by Wild Ginger while exploring the city. It was very slow with only three tables seated. Once the host seated us and served us water, there was no more service. We eventually had to flag down someone random to order food. My friends and I got the seven flavor beef, wagyu satay, and coconut sago. Seven flavor beef - the dish was the highlight of the meal. The beef was very flavorful with the sauce being the star of the show. It was sweet, savory, and a hint of spice. Wagyu satay - the dish was very questionable. The beef was almost like ground beef and not cubes of beef. The flavor to be honest tasted like taco seasoning and lingered in my mouth after the meal. Definitely do not get this. Coconut sago - not bad of a dessert with coconut flavors coming through. Overall, Wild Ginger was not worth it. First off, the service was horrible as no one came to take our order and items were forgotten in our meal. Second, the portions were very small, expensive, and the items were negatively remembered. Third, rice was not included in the dishes and their large portion is enough for two bowls. read more

I had an enjoyable time this evening at the Wild Ginger. Peter took care of us and he was spectacular! He was quick to make suggestions and alternative suggestions to meet the dietary restrictions of my friend. I cannot wait to come back and I'm here again. I love the decor, it was industrial modern. I was also pleased that the bathrooms were super clean. I highly recommend the lamb chops with white rice, Seabass, and green beans. You won't regret it! read more

Went there for a team dinner and the service alone was worthy of getting a 5-star. The place is bright, cleaner and has a modern vibe to it. Our server was amazing in handling a group of 13, he recommended drinks and recommended food order to place. He checked everyone's dietary restrictions and guided us on what to order and how much. His recommendations had a good mix of flavor for vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike. We all had a good time and will go there again. read more

Wild Ginger was recommended to us by a friend as a place to try around South Lake Union, and being in the area, we decided to swing by and give this location a try! We arrived around 6:15 pm waited via waitlist for 15 minutes to get a table. So I'm going to be giving this review based on the single dish I had while here, which was the Chicken Pad Thai. This dish was pretty tasty, had a good mix of sweet, a little sour, and a little spicy. In comparison to pad thais I've had in the past, I would say this had a more tangy and complex flavor profile that I really enjoyed - Would be a dish I would definitely order again. The wait staff was also attentive and polite, and the overall decor and look of the location is modern and warm. Spent about $17 for this experience, and I would definitely like to come back to try the various other dishes that Wild Ginger has to offer! read more

Simple, elegant, tasty thai tea! Spiced ceylon tea topped with simple half and half makes this natural beauty of a gradient. At $5 a glass, I personally expected it to be it a bit more fancy, but it was not too sweet and full of flavor! Definitely one for the picture books :) I will say this petite bowl of seafood noodles pack quite the punch! There was a plentiful amount of seafood, all of which was perfectly cooked and well seasoned. Additionally, there was a reasonable amount of noodles and garnish to make the dish very comprehensive. Really unexpected heat from the leaves, but made for a tasty Thai zing! Restaurant itself is beautiful and the servers were nice. For $19, again this was on the pricey side, but still really good! read more

The service and ambiance were excellent. Unfortunately, the food was bland. We had several dishes and they all lacked seasoning and spice. I would rather have great food than great ambiance. When we arrived the host was very pretentious asking if we had a reservation when the restaurant was mostly empty on a Monday night. The high opinion they have of themselves is not warranted. read more

Seven flavor beef is disgusting. I thought it was whole pieces of meat, it it was mushy meat. Gross, I couldn't finish it and it smelt so much like fish sauce. The smell was super strong. Satay is good. They only gave a small amount of peanut dipping sauce. We are talking a quarter of the dipping cup. So strange. The Thai beef salad was alright as well as potstickers. I felt like there was more dough wrapped then meat filling. The best thing we had was the green beans. It was flavorful with a good spice kick to finish. read more

I was here on a weekday for a team lunch. The place was quite empty and we were immediately seated. The nice bar in the centre immediately caught my attention. I would definitely like to come here for dinner/drinks sometime for the ambiance! We were 6 in the party and we ordered 1) fragrant duck - good enough for 2-3 people to share, my teammates said it was a bit too salty though 2) chicken pad Thai - got decent reviews from my colleague 3) green chicken curry - my colleague didn't like it, mentioned the chicken was undercooked 4) sayur lodeh - it was okay 3/5 for me. We also got the beef and mushroom satay. Both were great! One of my teammates said they should have gotten 5 more of the beef satay instead of the main course. Most of us has lemongrass lemonade which was okay. After we finished the lunch, we were handed warm towels (which was a first for me!). The servers even offered to pack the leftovers for us! Overall, the place is a bit expensive. We paid $264 for lunch for 6 people without alcoholic drinks. The portion sizes were decent though. I'll come here again but will buy the gift card from Costco to pay as you can get $100 worth of gift card for $80. read more

To be honest, I wasn't quite sure what to expect of this place given that the menu seemed so expansive and covered a wide array of cuisines. However, to my happy surprise, I really loved the food, drink, ambiance, and service here. I have already returned twice because it was so good and have tried many things on the menu at this point! Highlights on the menu include: - Fragrant duck - so much flavor, and lots of fun to create your own "duck bun" with dipping sauce - Sea bass with peanuts and fresh herbs - really delicious, tender sea bass, and comes accompanied with a fragrant set of accompanying spices/herbs - Indian butter chicken - seems like a basic option, but it was really creamy and flavorful, perfect for a colder fall or winter day - Mongolian noodles - longer noodles stir-fried in sauce, has a bit of a kick, overall a really great selection if you're craving noodles - Seafood noodles - flatter rice noodles, similar to a pad see ew if this is more what you're looking for Definitely a place to try if you're looking for a tour of Asian cuisines (particularly southeast Asian). As a plus, the restaurant is beautifully adorned with modern decor, and the space is quite large which makes it easier to find a last minute reservation. read more

Tonight, was a fantastic dining experience at Wild Ginger on 8th. We had amazing cocktails (I highly recommend the Mackenzie). Two delicious appetizers- including delicious chicken Satay. The highlight was the lamb chops- perfectly cooked and seasoned with a spicy hoisan sauce! But the best part was the excellent service we were given by my new best friend Eddie from Ireland! He was delightful and made the evening a joy. We will be back! read more

Took my team of 22 here for an on-site dinner. Jody was FANTASTIC and SUPER patient walking us through the whole thing and helped with menu choice across our team's wide array of dietary preferences. Day of, Peter and his team made service look effortless. Apps, Entrees, Sides, Desserts, and Drinks for everyone. They made great drink recommendations and helped everyone enjoy the night. Food Recommendation: 7 flavor beef, & beef satay. Highly recommended for any Amazon teams looking for a place to get food and drinks after working in the office with your team. read more

If you're looking for some tasty, greasy noodles under $20, this is not the place to go. Wild ginger is a pretentious upscale Thai restaurant, not the traditional hole-in-the-wall spot. The service is impeccable, but personally my priority is not spending an arm and a leg on an entree I might not even like. Plus, almost all entrees are made with meat- most Thai restaurants are very vegan/vegetarian friendly, but Wild Ginger is not. read more

Wild Ginger was a wonderful place to have a delectable meal. We started with the Seven Element Soup which was coconut chicken curry based with noodles. It was unlike any soup we'd ever tried in an Asian restaurant and quite unexpected! It was not spicy like curry but layered with the flavors of curry, coconut, chicken, and other flavors we couldn't name. We followed that with the Fragrant Duck and Chinese Sausage and Shrimp Fried Rice. Unusual flavors that tantalize one's mouth. Even though we were traveling and only there for that night we took the left over fried rice to go. The following morning I heated it up and we took it down to the hotel provided breakfast. We mixed it in with the bland scrambled eggs provided and turned our breakfast into a culinary delight! The service at Wild Ginger was excellent and the ambiance was all that we could ask for. The only drawback for us were the cocktails, which we found lacking. We would definitely return if we are ever back in Seattle. Hopefully, we would have better luck with drinks. read more

This was my first time hearing of this place. The food was excellent. The environment also a 10/10. Service was quick and friendly. Overall very pleasant experience. We order the Mongolian noodles, spring rolls, a tofu dish I can't remember the name of and some drinks! The noodle dish was my favorite, very flavorful and a little crunch from the almonds they put in there (I think it was almonds? Not sure). The tofu was also really good, crispy yet soft and paired with a really tasty sauce. I'm not a fan of eggplant but the tofu came with it so I gave it a try. If every eggplant dish was made that way, I'd 100% be a fan of eggplant. YOU should definitely eat here, it won't disappoint! Great options for both vegetarians and non. read more

We were 2 of us and were seated within 5 mins. We ordered Potstickers, Wagyu Beef Satay, Sayur Ladeh and Green Chicken Curry. The Satay was good and well seasoned with spices. The Potstickers were simple and had good filing. Both the Green Curry and the Sayur Ladeh were very good and in large portion sizes. They both come with your choice of rice. The person who helped us made some recommendations which were good and was very polite. Overall a nice dining experience with good customer service. read more

Everything was impeccable! Our extra awesome Irishman waiter (Eddie?) made the night so amazing! From the perfection level of cleanliness through the restaurant, to presentation, to food temp, quality of ingredients- cocktails- everything was 5 star level. It was our honor to be served in such a grand fashion! The 7 flavor beef, pad Thai... the ice creams... & oh the Butterfly Effect cocktail was truly epic! Even the dish & glassware perfectly suited each delectable bite & sip! I've been to the 2 other locations of Wild Gingers... this 1 is the best! During this pandemic... to see a restaurant shine so brightly... made my heart as well as tummy sing! read more

Wild Ginger has multiple locations, but this is definitely their trendiest and newest location. Like most downtown restaurants, there's only street parking, so plan accordingly. The menu varies at each Wild Ginger location, but they are well known for their Seven Spice Beef is marinated in a sweet/savory sauce. We ordered five dishes plus a large bowl of brown rice (+$4): Seven Spice Beef, Pineapple Shrimp Curry, Indian Butter Chicken, Sizchaun Green Beans, and the Mongolian Noodles. Definitely order the Mongolian Noodles. Even without any meat, this was by the far best dish. It came with wood ear mushrooms, widenoodles, and a savory oily sauce. The Seven Spice Beef and Butter Chicken dishes were also decent. Service was great. Our server was very friendly and also got me a stain wipe when I got some curry on my sleeve. 5/5 for service and food. read more

I wasn't too hungry so just ordered a beer and the fragrant duck. Wow. This was definitely a 10/10 in my overly-critical book, so I'm giving it five stars. The duck was super tender and cooked perfectly. The dipping sauce brought out the flavor of the duck also perfectly. Excellent job on this dish. read more

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

Went here with family after it was recommended a few times. The front of house staff were friendly and were able to seat our reservation immediately. We were put into a booth which was nice and felt that we were tucked into a corner and weren't disturbed by other parties. Our server was also awesome and the food was delicious. Will be going back again soon! read more

First off the staff here is phenomenal! From the host, to our server, to the busser. Everyone is super friendly and accommodating. My friend and I ate dinner here and I think it was one of the better meals we've had in Seattle. We got the Fragrant Duck, Seven Flavor Beef, Sichuan Green Beans and some delicious drinks. Fragrant Duck: Juicy duck served with steamed buns and sweet plum sauce. I only got the half portion and I was stuffed after eating it. Sooo yummy! Seven Flavor Beef: Flank steak with the seven flavors of lemongrass, peanuts, chilies, hoisin, basil, garlic and ginger. This was amazing. I'd also get a side of their jasmine rice to go with it. Sichuan Green Beans: Our server recommended this and it was really good as an appetizer. If you're a drinker, try the Basil Berry Martini. It's a sweet refreshing treat with your meal. Again, I cannot stress how good the food and service was here. 5/5! read more

Wild ginger is located in a really nice space with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The fragrant duck is one of the specialty items but I would suggest ordering it as an appetizer instead of entree like I did (the flavor is more sweet than savory so it would be better to share it before digging into something savory). And I wasn't full after eating it! The dessert menu includes a vegan and dairy free coconut sago (which has coconut cream). The server even gave us steaming hand towels at the end of our meal! read more

Duck is my favorite protein and I have tried it in various cuisines. I have concluded that I only like a Chinese roasted duck. With that being said, I was very impressed with the duck buns. I can tell the buns were made in-house, even though I wished it was a little bigger but it was a good size with the amount of duck that was served. Everything came together really well. We also had papaya salad. It was mediocre, I would skip it next time. And lastly, we had the Mongolian noodles. I was skeptical but they were bomb.com. The flavors were really well put together and it has a strong mushroom taste, which I loved. I highly highly recommend the Mongolian noodles. Overall, I recommend Wild Ginger. A must try! read more

Last evening we celebrated our Granddaughter's 16th Birthday at Wild Ginger McKenzie! It was not only amazing food; but truly exceptional service! Our waiter, Eddie was a master at being attentive and engaging! His suggestions were spot on in terms of recommendations of wine, mixed drinks and flavor profiles! He started out by paying special attention to our birthday girl by bringing her a special not on the menu mocktail! She loved it! We have lived in and visited many special places around the globe and I'm telling you that this gentleman provided us with the most extraordinary service anywhere...including some James Beard & Michelin starred restaurants! This was our 1st visit to the McKenzie location but it will not be our last and we will ask for Eddie EVERY SINGLE TIME! read more

One of the best restaurants in Seattle! We have been coming here for the last 35 years and love them! The Hunan Tuna is my favorite. I also love the satay bar. The wine selection is amazing. Service is beyond perfect and friendly. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Wild Ginger was the site of our family dinner last week celebrating my daughter's high school graduation, and it delivered on all fronts. It was the first time we've eaten at the South Lake Union location -- but it won't be the last, as the food and service were both excellent. Our server was attentive but not overly so, and his guidance as to what to order (given our large group's diverse dietary preferences and restrictions) , and how much, was spot on. The satays and curries (we tried different versions, veggie and meat) were all delicious, as were the fried rice and Sichuan green beans. The setting is also spacious and striking, with high ceilings and lots of beautiful wood. Bon appetit! read more

This place is alright. The decor is unoffensive but nice. The food is actually pretty decent, but like all places in SLO, very overpriced. I had the duck with bao buns and actually enjoyed it even though it didn't really taste authentic. Service is about normal. I wouldn't go here if it weren't an expensed work lunch. read more

lol tacky "pan-Asian" chain restaurant which is ridiculously overpriced for what they're offering. I have been to 2 out of the 3 chains. The food is not good. I can't say food is terrible because it's at least edible but it's not *good*. Also the service is poor at both Seattle locations. I would say ambiance is probably all they have going for them cause they are sit-down restaurants which can accommodate large groups. read more

Nice place for a work lunch, especially if you're not the one paying the bill (thanks Jeff Bezos). It's probably best to reserve before coming here - we arrived sans reservation and the only available seating was either at the bar or the counter near the kitchen. We opted to sit at the counter, but this was not ideal because it was impossible to talk to anyone besides the people sitting right next to me. I got chicken satay and sichuan green beans, which added up to be around $22. The chicken had good flavor, but each stick was kind of small. The sauce and rice that came with it dissatisfied my taste buds. The green beans, on the other hand, were the perfect amount of spicy and made the lunch satisfying overall. read more

We normally drive to Bellevue about twice a month just to eat at Wild Ginger. Decided to give the South Lake Union location a try. The service was so incredibly slow that I had to go find a pitcher of water and fill our glasses myself. When my husband took glasses to the bartender to refill our kids' drinks, the bartender was shocked that no one was serving is. There was a server who was super attentive to the table next to us. At the last minute, he suddenly started to take an interest in us. So he came and served us. In the end, we waited so long for our food we determined we didn't save any time from not driving to Bellevue. Really disappointing since this location is five minutes from our house. At least the food was good. read more

While the food at this outlet of the national chain of Asian restaurants known as Wild Ginger wasn't bad, the atmosphere wasn't fun, as the South Lake Union location screams corporate and Amazon, often synonymous and interchangeable. We sat at the bar that was void of character and soul, much like South Lake Union itself. However, sometimes we want to venture a few blocks away from our home in Belltown, tired of the homeless, the drug addicted, and the mentally ill who reside around our home on Third and Blanchard. The smell of urine and feces, plus the constant badgering for money, can get to you. Yet then the vapidity of SLU, and soulless places like Wild Ginger, makes us yearn for Belltown. Is there no happy medium in Seattle? Maybe not, but I doubt we'll be back to eat at Wild Ginger in South Lake Union. read more

Omg! This was so good. Appetizer tried- chicken satay, sea bass lettuce wraps, duck bao buns, papaya salad... all delicious AF.

Been here a few times now with groups. Food is very good. Service is always solid too. Great drinks. Especially love the duck (large one feeds two people if you each get an app), the sea bass, and the beef. The duck comes with bao buns and sauce. Absolutely delicious. Large size is half duck, smaller size is 1/4 duck. The holy grail is the green beans though. They are to die for. Also like the chicken salad. Its simple and tangy and a generous portion. Will definitely be back. read more

Went there during lunch time by myself and the host with a ponytail asked the family behind me "how many" even though I was there first. Thankfully the family told him that I was there first and the host goes "Oh ok." Oh so now you can see me. Good to know. He told me there is no more room for the table so I took a menu and sat at the bar. After 5 minutes of waiting, someone finally came up to me with a glass of water. I think he's either a bartender or a bus-boy. Without saying a word or asked me what I would like to drink he just looked at me as if that's his way of asking "What are you having?" I told him I will have the Chicken Pad Thai. He nodded and went away. After a few minutes my Pad Thai arrived. The dish was just a typical Pad Thai dish at a fancy restaurant. Nothing special. The portion was good and the food was nice and hot. I could've had the same quality of Pad Thai elsewhere for $13 instead of $21 if I didn't work nearby. No one checked up on me, not even once. And till this day I still don't know who my waiter was or if I had one at all. I had to walk up to the front and wait for someone to get there so I could pay because I did not think they knew I was even there. I could've left without paying and not get any trouble because I did not think they knew who ate at that seat, which I found hilarious. In conclusion, the service could be non-existent if you sit at the bar by yourself and the overpriced food was decent. Since there was no service, I fairly tipped $0 and made sure I stay away from this place in the future. :) Overall 1/5 for the pad thai read more
