Went here many time and never remembered write a review, so finally here you go - very authentic South Asia cousine and nice environment for getting together with friends, family or team lunches. Parking might be the challenge though just like anywhere in downtown.

We happened upon this location on our way to a show. Overall, the experience was fantastic, and something that we would absolutely repeat. Highlights were the fragrant duck, which was both delicious and well put together as a flavour concept. The salted plum sauce and cilantro created a constant surprise of exotic and cohesive flavour. On the service side, the wine service was top notch, however wait staff failed to do quality check and come back to the table after serving the food. Overall, recommend if you enjoy bold, fresh flavours. It was a highlight of our evening.

I was recommended Wild Ginger for a work event, and I’m so glad I went with it as it was a HUGE hit! There wasn’t a single leftover, which is pretty rare for our group. Whitney and the entire team were incredibly helpful from ordering through delivery. I’ll definitely be ordering again!

I was hesitant to come here given the mixed reviews. So glad we did! Service was attentive. Drinks were great. We had the Mongolian beef noodles, kung pao chicken, spring rolls, and green beans. All very flavorful. Would definitely return!
Good food, nice restaurant. portion sizes small relative to cost and other higher priced restaurants.
The service at this restaurant was the BEST I've had in over 4 years of living in downtown Seattle. Zach and Alex took great care of me and were very patient with my unique dietary demands. I'm vegan and predominantly gluten free.
When I initially arrived, I was seated near the front and there was a large group at one of the tables nearby. I preferred a quieter environment and I asked to be moved to a different section behind the bar. Alex was very patient and moved me to my desired seating area and started me out with a vegan thai tea. After being seated in the new section, Zach showed me the options on the menu that fit my dietary needs along with recommendations.
The food was phenomenal. I was pleasantly surprised. To give some context, I grew up in Minneapolis and Chicago and my dining experience was predominantly at top-tier award winning and Michelin star restaurants. I'm used to a certain level of service and food.
In my experience, Seattle in general, does not have very good service. So, this Wild Ginger location in SLU really stood out the day I chose to dine in for lunch, thanks to Alex and Zach. The oshibori towel at the beginning was a nice touch.

The Uber Eats severely underestimates how long the food is prepared here. Too slow and waitors seems very cold to customers — maybe the essential problem is there are too little of them so they can’t rely cater each table and take-out customers.

We had a lovely team dinner here. The service was top notch and the food was excellent. I’d definitely recommend the seven flavor beef. It had a delicious, unique taste. For appetizers, the chicken potstickers were handmade and delicious. The papaya salad was large with a great mix of flavors. The only disappointment was the chicken satay skewers, which were tiny. Oh, the lemongrass lemonade is unique and tasty. All is all a great meal!

I had the pad thai with chicken. The meal was fantastic. I shared the plate but wished I would have had my own.

Food was good and portions were large for sharing. I orderd the beef with brown rice. Service was good and location easy to find. Bathrooms clean and resturant clean and inviting. Location able to accommodate both small and larger groups with enough notice.

We stopped in twice in the same day. Service and drinks were amazing. The second time we stopped in we didn’t realize they close mid day. They seated us and served us and didn’t say anything. We didn’t realize until later and we didn’t know. The staff was amazing and so welcoming. Food was absolutely fantastic. The duck and the beef were so great. Highly recommend!

Though I love this place we had a quite different experience this time where we waited for placing our food at least 15 minutes after we sit down then we waited another 30 minutes for the food to be brought out and on the top of that the restaurant charged almost double the amount on our credit card which we had to dispute (still in progress) and, food was also mediocre. I will try different place for our lunches from now on.
Excellent service at the bar! Food superb. Bartender went out of his way to make our experience enjoyable (it was our first time in and we were celebrating a birthday!). Unfortunately, this Wild Ginger closes at 8:00pm on Mondays. I'm unsure why OpenTable allowed us to make a 7:45pm reservation?!? Again, the bartender was gracious about asking me for our food and drink order(I had about twelve minutes to make dinner choices), and definitely allowed us to finish our meal while he was closing down the bar. He even had the kitchen prepare a birthday desert while we finished our drinks! Give that wonderful man a raise! He saved the night for us!!!
