Wild Ginger

My friends wanted a group dining and in Seattle since my friend has officially moved to Seattle, so this was more of a celebration dinner. I chose this one over the Downtown location, well, I don't need to spell it out. But Amazon buildings just look so beautiful at night.We had a reservation, so they gladly sat us at our table, and to be honest, we filled out that table that night with our friends, and ordered a lot on the menu so we can have a good taste of the restaurant and its style of Asian Fusion. Funny enough, I walked into the restaurant thinking it was Asian Fusion, because front of house just look like a lot of white people, but as I look into the kitchen it is all people of colour. I am happy to see that as I know their spice levels will be on point and I was correct.Our table ordered the following:Papaya Salad- This was delicious, as it was perfectly spiced with Thai Red chilis. On top of that, the way they prepared it was marinade it either over night, it loses the crunch of the papaya but it was extremely delicious.4/5Fragant Duck- These were presented like the typical Chinese dinner of eating duck at a restaurant. It comes with over sized steamed baos, and sliced up duck, and plum sauce with pepper and some greens. What it is missing are chives. I wanted chives with this dish, as it would add a delicious taste and rounded out the plum sauce with perfect acidity. I loved their mix of their plum sauce and the way we had to mix the plum sauce with the peper/salt combo. Good rendition of a duck dish for sure. 4.5/5Chicken Pad-Thai - Cute, but it needs a bit more spice to this. A bit sweet for my taste. Maybe add some red chilis or either some more texture. I do enjoy they add both chicken and tofu as a delicious protein. Another thing that I wanted from this plate was wok heat. It was missing it. Either it was wok cooked or it was sitting on the passing a bit too long. I felt the heat died on this plate. But really, the texture is really missing for me on this plate and the additional spices. 3/5Angkor Wat Chicken- Surprisingly, this was extremely delicious! I had lot of this as I love a good black bean style fry dish. This plate had perfectly spiced food. On top of that, you can REALLY REALLY feel the heat of this dish. It was a good wok style of cooking for this one!! I wish it wasn't a chicken meat but a beef one instead. Regardless, I would 100% recommend this dish if you are searching for that delicious style black bean dish. 4/5Green Curry Chiken- MEH. I am allowed to say this because it was missing on all points of being a good curry dish. It wasn't spicy enough, the potatoes weren't cooked throughly and the curry was just bland. And to be honest, ANOTHER CHICKEN? They need to add different types of meats onto the menu. To add like a flair to the dish, add lines of coconut milk as a plating style to add presentation. 2.5/5But, I can't just discredit the kitchen, their drinks were on point and they were delicious. I tried every drink my friends ordered, and on top of that my favourite drink of the night was the Suntory Time. The darkness of the tea was a perfect mix with that whisky.I will only recommend to friends who wants drinks and small bites, other than that, I think a large dinner will need a revamp of the menu or either add more spice.

I just got the chicken satay and our friends split the crispy spring rolls. Spring rolls were solid, though those are pretty hard to mess up! Got the chicken satay appetizer since I wasn't super hungry, I think it ran me $13-15? It came with 6 little flavorful skewers with a slightly-sweet and chunky peanut dipping sauce, little cubes of sticky rice, and a tiny salad. Delightful! We came in at a very odd hour so hardly anyone was in the building. It was very spacious (two floors) with a slightly upscale ambiance. Servers were friendly and attentive!

Went there for a team dinner and the service alone was worthy of getting a 5-star. The place is bright, cleaner and has a modern vibe to it. Our server was amazing in handling a group of 13, he recommended drinks and recommended food order to place. He checked everyone's dietary restrictions and guided us on what to order and how much. His recommendations had a good mix of flavor for vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike. We all had a good time and will go there again.

The duck was absolutely worth coming back for. I would highly recommend! Here's what we ordered:* Fragrant Duck: This duck was amazing, and I didn't expect such delicious steamed buns. This is a must-have and the reason for this 5-star review. I will happily come back *just for this dish, and I highly recommend you do the same.* Seven Flavor Beef: The beef here was very tender and well-prepared. The sauce was delicious, although a bit too salty. This dish does need rice! I would say this is a step up from your neighborhood mongolian beef, but I don't think it blew me out of this world.* (Curry): This dish was a bit bland, and the curry didn't have much taste. I wouldn't recommend this dish, but definitely try the other two!As other reviews mentioned before, food did take a while, but the waitstaff is very attentive with water and getting seated was a breeze. We were seated right by the window, so we had lovely views of folks mooning us from the street -- there may be more ideal seating areas elsewhere.All in all, I will be back... possibly just for the duck!

A great find in a trendy "Amazon" neighbour where new developments and Amazon spheres and offices are located.Great green curry chicken and spring rolls were crispy and delicious.Nice atmosphere and wasn't too busy but I think the more people who discover this place it will become a lot busier.Good service and good selection of Southeast Asian cuisine.

For lunch my company took me to Wild Ginger. Soon as you walk in it looks trendy. We were greeted and taken to our table pretty fast. I ordered the Butter Chicken w/ Rice and it was good. After we were done eating the waiter brought hot towels wipe our hand. It's a nice place to go hang out and eat some food. I'd recommend this place to everyone.

Thai food is my most favorite food in the world. Love that Wild Ginger is in a convenient location, so I can easily satisfy my cravings!Food:Had the Thai seafood noodles. Noodles were a good chewy texture and flavored well. It didn't feel too greasy or salty. I just wish there was more seafood considering how pricy the dish was.Service:Service was very attentive and kind. Staff was always around.Ambiance:Very upscale, refined, and clean restaurant. It's just a really elegant space that feels fancy. Tables are nicely spaced apart so you don't feel too crowded or hectic. Overall great ambiance.

I was here on a weekday for a team lunch. The place was quite empty and we were immediately seated. The nice bar in the centre immediately caught my attention. I would definitely like to come here for dinner/drinks sometime for the ambiance!We were 6 in the party and we ordered 1) fragrant duck - good enough for 2-3 people to share, my teammates said it was a bit too salty though 2) chicken pad Thai - got decent reviews from my colleague 3) green chicken curry - my colleague didn't like it, mentioned the chicken was undercooked 4) sayur lodeh - it was okay 3/5 for me.We also got the beef and mushroom satay. Both were great! One of my teammates said they should have gotten 5 more of the beef satay instead of the main course. Most of us has lemongrass lemonade which was okay.After we finished the lunch, we were handed warm towels (which was a first for me!). The servers even offered to pack the leftovers for us!Overall, the place is a bit expensive. We paid $264 for lunch for 6 people without alcoholic drinks. The portion sizes were decent though. I'll come here again but will buy the gift card from Costco to pay as you can get $100 worth of gift card for $80.

Tonight, was a fantastic dining experience at Wild Ginger on 8th. We had amazing cocktails (I highly recommend the Mackenzie). Two delicious appetizers- including delicious chicken Satay. The highlight was the lamb chops- perfectly cooked and seasoned with a spicy hoisan sauce! But the best part was the excellent service we were given by my new best friend Eddie from Ireland! He was delightful and made the evening a joy. We will be back!

Food was awesome! I tried their mangoljan noodles and chicken pot stickers and both were AWESOME! Service is a bit questionable. They aren't super attentive, the staff is also a bit insensitive. I went with a friend who is 8 months pregnant and they gave us the high chairs table. When I asked them to change it, they moved us to the table in the back near the washroom even though they had 5 booths empty (they were empty even when we left)Ambience- surrounded by glass windows overlooking some of the busiest streets in Seattle. Was very pretty
