GreenGinger

We recently visited Green Ginger, and it was an amazing experience overall! The atmosphere is welcoming, the staff is super friendly, and the food is delicious. We tried the ramen, and my boyfriend's spicy ramen was absolutely incredible--full of flavor with the perfect level of heat. You could really taste the depth of the broth, and the noodles were cooked to perfection. He couldn't stop raving about how satisfying it was! As for me, I went with the regular ramen, which was good but a bit on the bland side compared to the spicy one. While the broth didn't have quite as much punch, it was still comforting, and I appreciated the fresh ingredients and the generous portion size. The sushi at Green Ginger is definitely worth mentioning too! The rolls were fresh, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor. We also enjoyed a few appetizers that were excellent--crispy, flavorful, and just the right amount of portion to tease our appetites before the main course. All in all, Green Ginger is a great spot if you're craving tasty Japanese food. The staff was attentive, the ambiance was pleasant, and the quality of the food was spot on. While I would recommend going for the spicy ramen if you're looking for bold flavors, the overall experience was fantastic, and we're already planning our next visit!

Ambiance: This is a nice place to sit and grab a bite. The interior is small but clean and decorated with Japanese stylings. The jazz playing over the speakers is not obtrusive and it's very easy to have a conversation comfortably. There is even a flat screen which was tuned to sports while we were there. Service and time for food to come out were both quick. Food: We had the Rock n Roll and King of Salmon specialty rolls, a crunchy spicy tuna hand roll, and the pork belly ramen. While everything that came out was very well plated and portioned, the flavors were only mediocre. The "ramen" is a clear Chinese [chicken] broth with fairly standard noodles but dressed up with crispy pork belly and a hard boiled egg. If you're expecting a rich bone broth, runny egg, or chewy ramen noodles, you will be sorely disappointed. Aside from the mislabeling, however, the dish itself has a nice light and clean flavor with the pork belly adding a nice textural element. The sushi was better with well defined rice texture, quality seaweed used for the rolls, and nice ratios of the different ingredients. The fish itself was only of OK quality. The Rock n Roll was mostly the mashed spicy tuna and avocado which was fine but it was a little drowned in yum yum sauce. The King of Salmon roll had nice solid pieces of salmon and tuna inside which were good however the topping pieces were ragged looking and had a mushy texture (see pic below). Overall our experience here was serviceable. I'd say it's good enough to satisfy a sushi craving but if you're looking for authentic or artisanal, you're better off looking elsewhere.

Love the ramen here! This is in a large strip mallarea off of smith valley & 135. I always order the ginger tea and usually, the ramen but this time I ordered the Pad Thai. The dish had a sweetness that I didn't love but didn't make it unappealing. My daughter ordered her regular chicken katsu ramen and dove in with reckless energy. We also ordered the scallion pancake which was a big win! I will continue to frequent this location but plan to return to my regular order. Give it a try if you're in the area!

We ordered to go and got a couple sushi rolls, which is always a gamble. We really liked the passion roll and their California roll was well done.I am a big soup guy and personally didn't care for the miso soup but the dumpling soup was incredible!My wife also got the crab puffs and said they were nice but filling.

I was nearby so I popped into GreenGinger for lunch. The restaurant was quiet and tastefully decorated, the ambiance low-key. I ordered a pot of hot green tea to drink and I had the sashimi lunch - 10 pieces of sashimi that come with miso soup and salad. I also ordered gyoza as an appetizer. The soup was good, not terribly flavorful but perfectly acceptable as a starter for the meal. The salad was very fresh and crisp, served with the usual orange ginger dressing. The dressing was very good and just the right amount. The gyoza was excellent, perfectly pan-fried (as it should be), delicate and with a nice dipping sauce on the side. The sashimi was served without rice - two slices each of five different types of fish. It was fresh and not fishy, but flavorful. All in all it was a nice lunch that was satisfying without being filling. With tip it came to about $33.00 for one person.

We went for dinner. The service was good and the food was just okay and over salted. The strangest thing was that the tap water was completely undrinkable. It had a metallic, sulfur taste. I hate to imagine the food was cooked with that water. You can get much better food that costs less in Indianapolis.

Tried this place last night due to other reviews I seen... It was so many options of dishes and sushi to chose from so I decided to keep it simple and order the Combination Fried Rice. This rice was so fresh and packed with fresh garlic and ginger flavor. The meat was so tender and seasoned to perfection... The Yum-Yum type sauce they give is also tasty... I went 30 minutes before they closed and the dish was still fresh and delicious. The staff was very friendly upon my arrival. I would definitely try again. Next time I want to try a signature sushi roll and the teriyaki salmon bento box.

Amazing food and great service. The restaurant is so nice inside. We had a great experience and will definitely be back. My husband loves sushi, and we've had sushi from many restaurants. He said his rolls were incredible!

Best Sushi on the South side of Indianapolis. Always fresh with good service. Green ginger salad is a great start.

Raman is flavorless, sushi rolls over priced. The service is normal nothing memorable. The Ambiance it's in a strip mall hard to work with that.
