Wild Ginger Thai Restaurant

Absolutely outstanding food and preparation. Very fresh ingredients. Curries and other dishes our group ordered were all superb.

The pad Thai was disappointing. The noodles were cooked well but the sauce tasted like oil and red pepper flakes. I didn't see any egg, tofu, bean sprouts or cilantro.. Somehow the chicken and the peanuts were completely flavorless.

The best place!! They make you feel like family, food is homey and nourishing and doesn’t feel greasy or heavy or ‘fast’. I love this place dearly. Prices are amazing.

I have LOVED this place for years and years. Since moved to TX but any time I’m in town, I make it a point to stop on in. Pad Thai is 🔥!!!!!

I took the vegetarian red curry for lunch. They serve a soup before. Both dishes were very good.

All of our meals did not taste real Thai. Also quite a long wait. Nice people, nice place.

At first, they made us wait 30+ minutes, and after 10 minutes, they rushed us. Please do not go if you want to chill out and enjoy the food, since they will bring the cheque 10 minutes after you start eating.

Interior is a little tired with ripped and patched vinyl seats in booths and industrial carpeting. Food was tasty and lunch came with a choice of 2 soups. Lots of gluten free options. I had the pad see ew with chicken. My husband had stir fried shrimp with vegetables. Portion size was generous.

My partner and I sat down here and had a good meal. Our food was great but… the great meal took a ridiculous turn.
I ordered #5 on the menu, pineapple duck. The menu price is 16.95. I posted a picture of the menu and our check. When the check came it was 21.95. Our server apologized and told me it was his mistake but they could not do anything about it when we came up to pay at the cash register. I argued a little bit about it and he went back to ask someone if they could fix it and he came back and said no. I argued a little more and he went back and got the lady he was talking to. She came out YELLING at me that they weren’t going to honor the menu price. Now we are yelling back and forth at each other over the cash register in front of other guests. She said fine I’ll honor it this time but never again. I said that’s cool we will never come back here. She said great we would prefer that.
Sorry, no. You can’t just charge whatever price you feel like that differs from your menu.
Especially when they are aware of it. The server even told me this has happened a few times already.. put a sticker over the price with the new one what’s the problem?

You now lost a customer that eats out for every meal , and got a one star review out of it. You’re going to YELL at me over a mistake YOU made?!
SCAM!

I’m a tour manager from LA for a group of retired travelers visiting Colorado for a week-long rail trip throughout the state. We were in town for a scatter lunch. A small trio of town ambassadors suggested I dine here with my driver, so we did.

Pros: cheap $10-10.50 daily lunch specials. The Thai iced tea was delicious and made just right — perfect ratio of black tea to condensed milk. 👌🏻

I had the Wild Ginger Pad Thai lunch special, which came with your choice of hot & sour soup or chicken rice soup. I chose the latter and it was tasty.

The pad thai was also delicious — moist and flavorful. Only 2 pieces of shrimp, however.

Cons: there are ZERO curries listed in their daily lunch special offerings. Most Thai restaurants offer at least 1-2 curries on their lunch special. Here, they list their curries for $15.50+.

Service was severely lacking. They were NOT FRIENDLY or hospitable at all. We were seated, they took our order, served us food, and NEVER came back to check in. I had to ask for a chili tray, more water, and a check.

I also asked for a to-go box for my noodles as well as a to-go cup for my half drunk Thai tea as I wanted to bring it with me on the bus. It was hot out.

I was then given a plastic round container and a lid as well as one of those take-out boxes that you’d typically get at a Chinese restaurant.

When I asked about a cup to go for my tea, the lady working nonchalantly answered, “We don’t have any” and pointed to the container. When I asked her how was I supposed to drink my tea on the go, that the container is for food, not a beverage, she just shrugged and left.

HOW does a restaurant NOT have to-go cups? Has anyone not ordered Thai tea or Thai coffee to go? Unbelievable, and even more bothersome that the lady was so unconcerned with my needs as a customer. It was the lack of warmth and hospitality that did not warrant a gratuity in the end.

Only the cook deserves praise. The front of house staff are like robots. No smile. No conversation. No check-in. Nothing. I get that in Thailand, this is how it is. I have traveled there. I, myself am Asian, and in the Asian culture, we let diners be. However, this is America. The restaurant culture in America is not the same in Asian countries.

I’m in the service-based industry too, and tips are part of our livelihood, but I believe in working hard for your money. Customer service is everything, but unfortunately, the staff here exemplify zero customer service skills.

The place is nice and cozy in close proximity of Colorado Springs and near to Garden of Gods. If you need to have a Thai food it’s a good choice. Ordered Gai cashew curry and it was good with a bowl of rice friends order red curry and wanton soup which were also delicious.
