** Wild Ginger - Downtown

The food at Wild Ginger spans the Pacific Rim from China to Indonesia. We pride ourselves on offering traditional dishes from these distinctive regions and insist on house-made ingredients. Chefs make spicy chili sambals, fresh coconut milk, delicate egg noodles, and our pungent oyster sauce all from scratch. To achieve the sublime flavors of the East, there is no substitute for the time-honored customs of these rich and ancient cultures.

    Came in for a reservation at 7 and the restaurant was less than half full and we still didn’t get seated until 7:15. The food took forever and wasn’t what we asked for and then we had to ask twice for a box to go. The serve was nice but we heard multiple times about lack of employees and him leaving. I’m disappointed because this place came highly recommended so I’m hoping it was just a bad night.

    We used to go to Wild Ginger when it was fantastic, way back in the day. The food this time was meh at best. Their prices are expensive for what you get. Service was okay. My husband ordered an espresso martini and said it was awful. This restaurant is now off our list.

    The reason why you have a one star is because we had a nice conversation with the server. Explain my wife has allium garlic and onion allergy. We received the food fried rice, chicken and shrimp. Did not see any chicken or shrimp in the fried rice. We said well that’s OK. We’ll just eat it. Well we thought the scallions which is a member of the allium family were peas. She took two bites and realize that that was garlic. I didn’t say anything then because my wife looked at me shook her head. No because we were entertaining an out-of-town guest. It was strange that the conversation that we had with the server it was clear that the allium that my wife was allergic to. Unfortunately, the food that we got was unacceptable. Wild ginger had been my wife’s favorite place for a very long time and now we will no longer go there. I wasn’t going to say anything until I saw how sick she was because they carelessness of the kitchen and our server.

    This place is amazing. I have been coming to Wild Ginger when they were a hole in the wall and I have been there several times over the years. Every time I am in Seattle in fact. This place is the best.
