Great food and great service. Ginger & Fork is a gem that probably does not the attention they deserve from the Houston foodie crowd. Their Hong Kong (H.K.) pineapple shrimp is my wife’s favorite. Their unique craft cocktails are fantastic. I highly recommend Ginger & Fork.

We came for a late lunch and overall service was fine. What I didn’t expect was the raw egg yolk on my minced beef with egg dish. This is an issue I have with their menu. It has kitsch-y names but isn’t descriptive of the actual dishes. Mine was pretty self explanatory- or so I thought. I would have expected my server to forewarn me about the raw component of my dish when I ordered it.

The food at Ginger & Fork never disappoints. We arrived a little early and our table wasn't ready so we sat at the bar and ordered our meals there. The service was excellent, and we enjoyed chatting with the staff.

I absolutely NEVER tire of eating this fresh, delicious food. This is the best Cantonese food I have ever had. The staff and owners make you feel welcome and you can tell the work they put in to make the food perfect every time. I have brought friends , family and work colleagues here to eat - And they are all hooked My favorites - ginger margarita, bone broth soup , and every single vegetable 🥦 dish.

Consistency is the common thread for GF. We have been customers since they opened and the taste and quality continues to be excellent. We always try the soup dumplings, GF fried rice, chicken with vegetables and the sliced steak. Everything tastes fresh and the steak was very tender and flavorful. Service was very friendly and attentive.

The whole experience was amazing. Great food, drinks, and service. A big plus was to find out the owners were even there actually working. To know that they pour their heart and soul into this wonderful restaurant and to be there on a Saturday evening really displays why this place has a near perfect score here. We will definitely be back.
