LUCKY GINGER: A HAIKU Bursting with flavor,Izzie's service steals the show,Pure delicious magic!*vegetarian friendly

I don't eat pho often, but after this experience, I'll DEFINITELY be having it more! Yesterday, on a chilly day with temperatures in the single digits, a friend and I stopped by Lucky Ginger for lunch and sat at the bar. We both ordered the tofu pho. It was delicious, but I wanted to provide a PSA for plant-based folks: the broth is beef-based.They brought out sriracha and hoisin sauce to add to the pho, along with all the fixings like sprouts, jalapenos, and basil. The soup was light yet still filling and comforting. The broth was flavorful, but I really enjoyed customizing the pho to my taste with the extra toppings.We visited on a Monday afternoon when it wasn't busy. At our seat by the window both the service and lighting were great. The woman who helped us was quick and even took a moment to chat - so welcoming! Looks like there were more tables in the back for busier days too. Definitely a great spot tucked into the Third Ward!

Came here last night and ordered the Tom Yum soup and the Red Curry with vegetables, which I've had in the past and gave 5 stars. The soup was delicious as usual, but the Red Curry left a lot to be desired. I love curry and appreciate all the variances at different places, but this was almost white in appearance and tasted like warm coconut milk with some red pepper flakes. So many valid reasons why this could be: a busy weekend, possibly short staffed, had to make a new batch quickly on the fly, or all of the above. But I am too anxious to speak up and assert if I don't like something, so I just paid for the whole meal and left even though the curry was untouched. I am sure there are many other things on the menu that would have been excellent. Just putting this out there to say maybe stick with noodle dishes and delicious appetizers, as the curry (or at least the red curry) can be hit or miss.

Lucky Ginger gives Bar Vibes. The establishment sells Thai/Asian Food. I was craving pad Thai and this place was recommended by a couple of individuals local to the area. I ordered the Pad Thai with Chicken. Service was fast and friendly. The flavor was decent and I ate it all.

Terrible food. We ordered Door Dash. Super watery chicken curry. Tom Kha Gai was completely separated into two layers-watery broth and milky. Disgusting - we didn't even taste it. Chicken satay is not chicken satay. It's some kind of curry chicken dry rub. The peanut dipping sauce is super watery. Pad Thai with tofu - noodles were OK but tofu was leathery and tasteless. I have eaten a lot of Thai food all over the country and this was just terrible and expensive. Do not recommend.

Came here to try the Pho! It was some of our personal favorite. What makes this Pho so delicious is the broth, it's very rich in flavor, savory with a hint of sweetness. We also tried the Chicken satay (comes with 4 skewers, not 2) which was very nicely seasoned, peanut sauce could use a bit more peanut flavor, but overall quite tasty. We enjoyed the vegetable and special pho, both wonderful, but would like to see a bit more of the accompanying garnishes like bamboo shoots, jalepeno, etc! Waitress was prompt and got us sauces and drinks quickly, overall we will be coming back as the Pho broth is quite to-die for!

I ordered here through DoorDash and was excited to try a new Asian food spot in my new city. Honestly, I was disappointed. I'm not knocking any stars off for it being delivered since sometimes that can ruin dishes, but this wasn't the case. The egg rolls were still crispy when they got to me and were pretty decent. I saw a lot of hype on the dumplings but wasn't too impressed with them. For entrees, I ordered the basil fried rice and the pad thai. First, the fried rice was pretty good. I asked for no spice since spicy rice doesn't sound right. There was spice in the rice (lots of rhyming here lol). Although I asked for no spice and my rice was above medium spice, it still tasted fine. I would ensure there isn't spice next time so I can taste the rice. Now, the pad Thai. I was contemplating writing what I had to say about it, but from other reviews I saw, it looks like others felt the same. I'll make this short and sweet. It was the worst pad Thai I've ever had in my life. There was no flavor whatsoever, and it was very dry. The beef was almost nonexistent in the container; if it was there, it was dry, too. I don't like my pad Thai super saucy but this had no sauce anywhere in the dish. I've had my fair share of pad Thai, and this is one I would avoid. I'm hoping if I do have another visit here, I'll try something else and hopefully have a better experience.

I went here for lunch and tried the calamari for appetizer and the pad see ew/noodles.Super tasty!They have booth and table seating and has a nice view of the river.Service was good, it was a pretty slow lunch / time.I always ask for no straws, to avoid plastic use

I'm visiting from NYC and the pad Thai here was better than any local delivery spot I've tried at home. I did a level 3 of spice, which was the perfect amount. The portions are HUGE and enough to feed 2-3 people sharing. I also started off with the calamari which had really nice seasoning. The atmosphere itself is no frills and very basic, but that's all it truly needed. The staff was also attentive considering how busy it was with phone orders, people picking up and a packed dining room with some also at the bar.

For context I ordered this on DoorDash so I cannot speak to the actual atmosphere or service. I'm not saying this to be dramatic but this is the worst Thai food I've ever had. The Tom Kha soup arrived separated and has many many vegtables it does not normally have (did not even eat it because it looked so bad). The satay is coated in some dark seasoning and tastes NOTHING like satay, tastes closer to indian curry and the peanut sauce was watery garbage. The pad thai which is usually the most dependable thing to get from a Thai place was barely passable and featured flavorless tofu. The calamari also had no flavor and was just greasy and heavy. The red curry was very watery and lacked depth. The only thing that tasted good was the Thai tea. This was pretty expensive so to wait and pay for food this bad was very dissapointing. Will not order again.
