This place is conveniently located in Union South Food Court. I stopped by for a quick lunch. I took the sesame chicken with rice. It was a decent choice. Whole process was very quick.

ginger root is ok for flavors and customer service but has some cooking issues with textures. The shrimp dishes are usually rubbery, all of the vegetables tend to be overcooked and mooshy and the rice is always dry. Even with these issues it's still way better than QQ.

The food is tasty. It is not too spicy or salty, which is nice. But they did not have many addings for a meal like Chipotle has.

The health-conscious qq alternative. Also, it doesn't feel like you're in a dungeon!

Service is always great. But tue food needs some improvements. Rice is always dry. Menus like hunana shrimp and beef always comes with close to no shrimp or beef. I actually counted and this time they gave me two pieces of shrimp and 3 pieces if beef. Otherwise, if your a vegetarian ud like this place

I am not an uncle roger but want to make some critics.I do understand serving with the open lid rice cookers are more visible and easier to scoop. But it does seriously makes the rice dry and leaves uncooked. Entrees are okay but fried chicken is bit a jaw breaker. Unlike the food workers were friendly.

Perfect place for lunch as an engineering student at UW-Madison.

It was good before but not now in the summer. I ordered a big one but it’s size was even smaller than the small one in earlier days. How could the staff be so cheap considering increasing price?

Ginger root’s sesame chicken is the BEST in the world!! Have been to this place after a long time and the taste is still the same! It was nostalgia for me visiting this place having this entree . The veggie fried rice was too dry and not up to the mark. But overall nothing like the sesame chicken here

Not authentic Chinese food or anything but the sesame chicken is delicious 40% of the time. Place is extremely hit or miss. After eating here over 10 times, both through delivery and in-person, it misses more than it hits, but when it hits it hits.
Disappointed, used to eat from here and would get a large bento with sesame chicken and rice, and I would get a very generous amount of food that tasted amazing, was one of my favorite places to eat on campus. Went there last week and I got barely any chicken or rice, the amount of food I got seemed like it was even less than what you would get from the small bento. I did not go back to complain because I was busy and needed to go for class so I had no time to wait for another order. Might give them another chance when they’re not busy.

Best sesame chicken I’ve ever had. A little bit of their spicy paste sauce on the side and you’re in heaven

One of the better on campus dinning options. It accepts Wiscard if your a university students or staff. It seems to always have a line though but it goes fast.
