Fantastic lunch deals. You get to eat all the duck and buns by yourself compared to the family style servings in larger group settings more

The reviews don't lie. An excellent place. The waiter corrected my choice ("Sir, don't have the pork, it's not our best.") and I was darn happy all around. It's an enormous (and trendily furnished) place. And it was pretty much full on a Monday night. more

Don't miss Wild Ginger while you're in town. I had to come back the next night to get the exquisite black pepper scallops again! Expansive wine list, great satays and a well trained staff in a beautiful setting. more

We went to Wild Ginger with some friends who had recommended it. While the place was lovely, the food was overpriced and not really that special.

If you're looking for anything close to real Asian food, don't go here. The food tastes fine, but it's definitely not the same taste profile as the food you might find in the International District. We went for lunch and the service was super slow, again. This is the second time we had significant delays in getting our food. The... more

From all the restaurants that I visited in Seattle this is by favorite. The food was delicious, very flavorful, and well presented. I had the Buddha Rolls, which are 3 summer rolls in a delicious pineapple spicy dipping sauve. For my entree I had sliced beef in a coconut sauce served with Jasmine rice. The Jasmine rice wasn't the best... more

Great if you are gluten free. They have wheat free soy sauce and their kitchen can handle your needs. more

This place is still revered by the tourists, but it has gone so far down hill that I can't bear to go any more. After three bad experiences in a row, I've long since written them off. more
