We went there on our visit to Seattle as reccomended by our hotel, and really enoyed it. Our waiter was very helpful and attentive--he offered to bring me tastings of the two wines I was trying to decide between. The upstairs two tops are very intimate and romantic, and they also have rooms for large parties. The satay vegetabes and mahi mahi were a little bland, but the soups and main stir frys were great. Portions are not huge, and I would reccomend getting one main dish and numerous appetizers and little dishes to share for two people. My only disappointment was that we were looking for a trendy, young crowd, and this was not it. Pros: moderately priced, romantic

The service was fine, however, the food there was very close to asian food but more expensive. There are better asian places in the international district where I could have gotten better, cheaper food for half the price that I spent at this restaurant. Overall, I thought that the food was ok, but the food is overpriced and the place is overhyped. Pros: service, crowded

The setting is real nice, I would go back for drinks, but dining is another story. We went in a party of 12, so we had a chance to sample a wide variety of dishes. None of the dishes stood out, the portions were extremely dissappointing considering we had our waiter recommend how much we should order. We also found it humorous that some of the dishes were the EXACT same as what you could get at a casual Chinese restuarant, but it was given a different name along with a heftier price tag here. What stood out from the night was not the food, but the service. We had an unexpected arrival to our party and asked the waiter for an extra chair, his reply. "Get one from the table behind you," those were his exact words. Go there for the drinks, but don't stay for the dining. Pros: Atmosphere Cons: , Price, Food

Our dining experiences at Wild Ginger have been very inconsistent. An enormous restaurant with possibly over 20 cooks on any given night, it's not surprising. We've had meals there where the food was so succulent that the entire table came to a dead silence while people focused on food. Then we've had meals where the same favorite dishes were really just okay - not acceptable for such a high dollar dinner.

On my birthday, I had reservations to eat here. Even with reservations, they made my friends and I wait 45 minutes to be seated! To make matters worse...they had no explanation to why I had to wait so long. They were completely disorganized, unprofessional and uncompromising in a situation like this. They also waited 10 minutes before they stored my icecream cake in the freezer. They did not offer anything in return for my inconvenience and simply said "We lost your reservation." Very rude. Pros: Environment Cons: , Management, Staff Knowledge

Wild Ginger has become an institution. It's AWESOME. The food is excellent. It's a great place for tourists, companies, groups, couples and indivuals. They're known fo rtheir delicious satays of all kinds. The decor is lovely, service is not the best, and the price is expensive but overall you can't go wrong at this restaurant. Also, I think they're able to host large group dinners -- not sure but this is the place I'd check first.

Visiting Seattle for a weekend for a wedding, I only had one night in which to try out a great restaurant. I was hesitant to go to Wild Ginger after reading some of these reviews here but upon hearing a friend's recommendation, I took the plunge. The hostess and waitress was not rude AT ALL. In fact, the hostess seated us early. Everyone in our party was extremely satisfied and the food was delicious. Two of my friends who moved to Seattle 2 months ago said it was their best night in Seattle yet.

I loved this place in its old location, when the kitchen was daring and the staff was friendly. After its move, I still ate there once a month. But I'm giving up on the place. Its food is the same old stuff and the staff is insufferable. They can't answer even simple questions about the food. Even worse, they constantly treat customers rudely by asking if you know how to use chopsticks, know how to eat whatever you ordered, etc. I suspect they will eventually ask if I know how to use a water glass! Pros: Decor Cons: , Unimaginative food, over-priced

I have been to the Wild Ginger several times and the food is always excellent, however, the service has constantly been an enormous disappointment! We were seated in the bar area and our waiter approached us asking for what we'd like to order, I said "I was thinking about the chicken"...he promptly said to me" You "were" thinking about the chicken? That's like saying you were (so and so) but now your not, that's past tense". I wasn't aware that food service included grammar lessons! The whole experience went downhill from there. Hence, bad review!
