I've eaten at Wild Ginger at least twice a year since around the time it opened so may years ago. Somebody is always having a birthday there or celebrating their latest achievement of average consistency and I keep accepting invitations to meet and eat at the FAMOUS WILD GINGER! And every time it's the same food. Those overcooked green beens with soy sauce...weeeeee! And some sad seafood or other meat with goo sauce. For CHRIST'S SAKE people. Update the menu or add the Golden Arches to your logo.

There was a time back in the 90's when I used to love Wild Ginger. Before I moved to Seattle I'd go everytime I visited town and loved their interesting takes on Asian dishes. Since then the menu hasn't changed a bit in a decade, the new location is so loud its often hard to hold a conversation, and the food is often disappointing. Having said that its still pretty solid, I haven't had anything that was actually bad here ever, and the 7-flavor beef is still a favorite of mine.

Just celebrated a friend's birthday there and had a great time. As usual the floorstaff was accomodating and unobtrusive and very well versed on the menu. We had a couple of picky eaters and our service person was attentive & made helpful comments! The prixe fix menu, especially the Dragon is the best deal in town costwise and flavorwise as well. There is a great variety of wll prepared and presented food. Definitely a place not to miss. Pros: Great food, Excellent serive

This used to be a fun place to go so I decided to throw a small party here recently. The food was horrible, scarce and cold. The service was even worse. They overcharged for what they did serve and all of us left hungry. I will never spend another dime at this restaurant again. Pros: Location Cons: Overrated food, Horrible service, Over priced

I always enjoy Wild Ginger, but rarely think of going there. This time was no exception. The food was very good; I liked the summer rolls and the little fried Vietnamese egg rolls that come with lettuce, sprouts, and tangy sauce. Enjoyed the lamb bambu, the peking-style duck, the noodle dish on the 25 for 25 menu and the chunky coconut sorbet (hey, I eat a lot). I was reminded that WG is popular with the power crowd in Seattle: Gary Lock was there, and a lot of the big firms take potential employees there for interview lunches and dinners. Maybe that's why it's not on my radar... I'm running with the PB&J set these days.

I just returned from lunch at Wild Ginger and oh my was it good! As long as I've lived and worked in Seattle, I'm somewhat ashamed to say that today was my first time eating here! It was fabulous and I will go back. I had the Wun Tun Mein, which is a soup with egg noodles, scallions and tiny dungeness crab stuffed dumplings. Two of my diningn partners had the duck and the other had the pork - I tried both and they were excellent. We also had a pot of jasmine green tea and we all shared a scoop of mango gelatto and a scoop of coconut gelatto afterward. Heaven!

A few times I've found myself downtown on a tight evening schedule. WG doesn't open for dinner until 5:30 or 6, I think, but you can eat very well from their reasonably extensive satay menu in the bar. You'll be served quickly, too. So siddown, have a beer, relax and eat!

I've only eaten at once near the Opera House, so I can't honestly say if this is the best. But I liked the meal I had at Wild Ginger. Really close to the Opera House, Wild Ginger is best described as Vietnamese Fusion. (but there's also a Thai flavor to it) I had both satay, and a beef dish--but I don't remember what it's called. While flavored well, the meat was overcooked and pretty rough on both accounts. There was a noodle dish I loved and the manila clams were to die for!

This restaurant is across the street from Benaroyal Hall. The food is good, but nothing spectacular. I think that the food and drinks are overpriced. There are so many other terrific restaurants in the area where the food is much better. Bottom line, with all of the choices Seattle offers I would not spend my time or money eating at Wild Ginger.
