Been here a few times now! Food is out quick and really flavorful. Favorites are pad thai, red curry, pork belly, ginger steak, and drunken noodles. Great staff!

Had egg rolls dumplings drunken noodles andnmy daughter had the meat Pho. Food was good and the seafood in the noodles was nice and fresh. I was disappointed in the fried rice on amount of protein and flavor. The egg rolls were crispy and delicious. Dumplings were a bit too much dough and the sauce lacked.

Stood ignored by servers for 15 minutes. Finally seated and ordered. After an hour flagged server to get status. Said order was delayed because they ran out of chicken for satay. Took another 10 minutes - chicken satay same out as charred bits. I asked where my Tom Yum was and the server asked if I wanted Tom Yum. I responded - yes, that’s why I ordered it. Tom Yum came out completely over salted. Red Curry duck came out absolutely flavorless. My wife got Pad Thai with Tofu - tofu was somehow hard like a charcoal briquette. They comped the appetizers and gave 20% off and that was still overpaying. We left 80% of the food behind. Will not be returning.

Food is amazing! Service is good. Ambiance reminds me of some places I have been to in Hong Kong.

Nice little place in the third ward area right on Water St. Nothing fancy inside but the pan Asian menu is pretty amazing. We had the veggie egg rolls, Tom Kha soup, Beef noodle pho and the drunken noodles. Adding shrimp put the main entrees over the top. I asked for a spicy level of 3 out 5 and it was just enough to tickle my spicy hot spot. Service was great and we were served very quickly. Overall a wonderful little place and we plan to be back!

Went to a birthday dinner with friends and family,server was all over the place serving tables have way,if you have allergies this place is not for you. Could not even get a cup of coffee (no decaf) just one kind. Ask for plain steak still came with seasoning on it after specifically telling her about my allergies. Sorry but an No Go for me. But different strokes for different folk.??

One of my favorite places to eat in Milwaukee, the vibes are good and the food is better - consistently. I always recommend Lucky Ginger to anyone visiting or looking for something new! Drunken Noodles are my fav!

Pretty solid spot on Water street.Food:I got the BBQ salmon and the fried octopus. The fried octopus was the hit. They get the breading perfect. Outside of that, the Korean short ribs is beyond perfect. I’m normally not a fan but damn. Duck curry is worth staying away from in my opinion.Service:Pretty solid.Atmosphere:Fairly basic space in the back. Otherwise, you can sit at the bar at the front of house and watch the traffic at the window. Nothing real special.

It’s a Thai restaurant, but Americanized Thai. Most dishes can be on a spicy scale from 1-5. We ordered 3s and it wasn’t super spicy. The meal overall was good, but none of the dishes really packed a punch. I really enjoyed the massaman curry and basil fried rice. The space is pretty small, but it wasn’t busy on a Friday night at 7pm. We didn’t have to wait for a table. Probably would eat here again for takeout.
