Eddie was amazing he was so welcoming and made our experience wonderful. We will be back. The food was amazing my husband got the lamb chops and we shared the Chinese sausage(sub chicken) shrimp fried rice and seven flavor steak. We usually go to the other location in Seattle but this one is my favorite.

We absolutely loved our server—he made us feel like we were in our neighborhood delicious restaurant/bar/longe. In fact, would Wild Ginger ever co side having live music on Fridays and Saturdays? That would be the ultimate cherry on top!!

Wild Ginger is our new "goto" place for a nice evening meal. The staff greeted so nicely, and we were seated within minutes. They gave a nice booth, but we wanted to sit at the high tables next to the window and they immediately accommodated us. The staff was so friendly and helpful. But the real reason you go out to eat is the food. And the food is AMAZING. The duck is the best we've had in Seattle, and the classic Asian green beans were so scrumptious. All of the prices are reasonable. Lastly, I had a wonderful house Manhattan which was excellent. Great place, great service, nice people, and awesome food.

Tremendous service. Attentive and listened. Food is great. Had several dishes including the classic seven flavor beef which is a favorite. A little pricey but definitely worth it for the special occasions.

The most three of threes. None of it was bad. All of it was good. None of it was great.

Great spot for locals for weekend meal out. Gratis parking across the street in Amazonville makes it easy. The butter chix was delicious, as was the beef (classic) dish. And meal not complete without the side of green beans. Better than any blistered elsewhere. Service was just right.

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.4/5Fragant 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. 4.5/5Chicken 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. 3/5Angkor 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. 4/5Green 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. 2.5/5But, 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.

Experienced wait staff, perfect service, privacy and ambience in an uncluttered restaurant, and delectable menu choices. With excellent craft cocktails, it's one of our favorites!

The food is good. Loved my dish even though I asked for no cilantro and it arrived smothered in fresh cilantro. At least I could easily remove that weed. Great service and super clean restaurant. Mongolian noodles there are outstanding.

Great restaurant, fantastic food in a very cool part of town. We've eaten at other locations but this was our first time eating at this location. It's our new fave! I highly recommend this restaurant!

Service was outstanding and unobtrusive. Our waiter was also very helpful and took good care of us (Irish accent/charm always a plus!). Highly recommend five spice beef (or was it seven?), spring rolls, satay, Szechuan green beans and fried rice w/Chinese sausage and shrimp. Twice cooked duck was a bit disappointing, but I look forward to giving it another try. Appreciated free parking (after 6pm) across the street. A very enjoyable evening out celebrating our daughter's 18th birthday!

Amazing dinner, the food was great, but the high point was our waiter. An Irish fellow who did a great job, with a great mix of humor and helpfulness. Wonderful night out with the family
