Blue Ginger

I've been going to the restaurant for at least 5 years, and everytime I go, I always end up with the same food. The shitake leek spring rolls are very good. The menu lacks much in the way of vegetarian food though. I always end up with the veggie and polenta tower, which is ok, but soooo boring. It's the type of food you'd get at a hotel banquet when everyone else is eating chicken or fish. The creme brulee is good though. Had a pomegranate mimosa last time I was there and was disappointed. Not enough pomegranate taste. If you're going to dinner, you'll need to make reservations well in advance, it's very difficult to get a table there otherwise. Go for lunch instead, it's pretty empty. The service is great. Ming Tsai is actually in pretty often too, I think in all the times I've been, there's been a 50-50 chance he's been there too. He's very nice if you want to get an autograph or picture with him. more

Celebrity chef Ming Tsai's Blue Ginger in the Boston suburb of Wellesley is worth the adventure out of the city for the experience. The Asian Fusioin cuisine is prepared expertly with a heavy emphasis placed on seafood. I enjoyed a tuna steak slathered in the most flavorful of teriyaki sauces on my last visit. The service here is excellent as it should be in such a gourmet restaurant. The prices are high but so is the value of such well-prepared cuisine. more

Blue Ginger on Route 16 in Wellesley, can easily be considered the best restaurant in the Metrowest area. Celebrity chef Ming Tsai owns this restaurant, and can often be seen in the open kitchen. The best menu items are the lobster entrée, and the butterfish, which is the best fish dish I’ve ever had. Make reservations early, as it is nearly impossible to get in here without one. more
