This is one to try! The menu has a huge selection- mostly known for their satay- that could satisfy most people. We started with the scallops and ground lamb satays and then seabass lettuce cups...each unique from the other and delicious. We also ordered some noodles and seven flovor beef as entrees- Yum! The flavors are wonderful, presentation was pleasing and the service was very good. I'd like to go again next time I'm in Seattle.
Pros: Selection, Flavors, Atmosphere
Cons: Loud

It takes an exceptionally bad experience for you to still hate a restaurant 14 years after the experience.
I had that at the Wild Ginger. I aggressively encourage people to not go there.
My wife and I went to dinner before the Seattle Symphony back in 1992. We were pretty poor and that was our big splurge.
While we were ordering, our waiter asked us "What vegetable would you like with that?". We didn't realized the entrées came with vegetables and my wife said very clearly and loudly "Oh, I didn't realize it came with vegetables". The waiter heard and said something to affirm our understanding that he was asking about vegetables with the entrée.
We both ordered and when our orders came we had two entrée sized plates of vegetables.
The bill came and sure enough, we were charged for entrées AND two vegetables.
The bill took all of our available cash for the evening.
The waiter very clearly heard us and mislead us hoping to get a bigger tip. That is easily the sleaziest experience I have ever had. I told the manager about this who hemmed and hawed and offered to cut the vegetable cost from the bill but failed to understand the key point: his waiter lied and misled us.
Oh, and by the way, the food was singularly OK. Not worth the prices, even aside from the deceitful waitstaff.

I used to really like the atmosphere and food at the old wild ginger location. However, I really dislike the new wild ginger. The food is blah as the quality has gone down hill. The flavours are poor, the balance of hot-sweet-sour-salty is all whacked out, and it's really greasy. The space and atmosphere is sterile and corporate.
Heck, I'd even go eat over in Bellevue before I ate here again. :)

I've been going to Wild Ginger for a few years now and without a doubt, know they serve the best black pepper scallops in town. The service is excellent and highly recommend sitting in the bar taking recommendations of the bartenders and servers. If you ever have the chance to sit in Elena's section, consider yourself lucky! She is the best server in Seattle.
Pros: service, taste
Cons: none

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.
