Ginger

My boyfriend and I truly enjoyed our experience! The restaurant wasn't very busy at all that night, we had an intimate experience and the ambiance was perfect! And omg the food, the flavors were dancing on our palettes, my bf was naming all the spices he could muster. We'll be back, we tagged them on IG as well.

Very friendly staff making sure you have everything you need! I ordered a bowl of Pho and it was a very generous portion with all the fixings. I will definitely be back here again.

I had high hopes for this restaurant based on the reviews I saw for it. Overall it was a slightly below average experience to have in a Thai restaurant in Nashville. Maybe they just weren't having a very good night tonight. The Pad Thai was quite bland. It didn't taste bad, but unfortunately it had very little flavor. I ordered the spice medium because I was sharing with my girlfriend who likes heat but not as much as me. It came out Thai Hot instead of medium hot though and my girlfriend was unable to eat it (It was as though the restaurant didn't have enough ingredients to make flavorful Pad Thai and loaded it with pepper to mask the lack of flavor). On the upside, the Satay was a little better than average and the peanut sauce it came with was great. The cucumber salad was hardly sweet or vinegary.

I'm not sure what I ordered, but it was a soup and it was amazing! Served piping hot with toppings and accompanied by a dish of fresh vegetables. What took it to the next level was a small carousel of Thai sauces that allowed you to adjust the heat and intensity of the flavorful broth. Despite my mouth being on fire, sweat on my face and scalp, and tears in my eyes, I couldn't stop eating this soup!! What an amazing and memorable experience it was!!

Ginger was very good. Portions were big, filled with fresh vegetables. I got the medium spice and it was perfect. The Thai Iced Tea was very good also.

Ginger Thai of Nashville is the best Thai Restaurant in Nashville. From the servers, and all the staff; it is a welcoming and heart-warming environment. I have been eating here for about 9 months now, and the food and service is spectacular and lovely. The staff here provide great hospitality, that makes you feel very welcomed. I would definitely recommend the Pad Kee Mow, it is full of rich and great flavors to savor your appetite. The Boba and the Gelato here is delicious as well. Overall, this place has great vibes and great people! 10/10.

Great pork shumai. Dishes were appetizing, but upon first taste both the pad thai and the steak noodle soup were sweeter than preferred. Once we got the condiment caddy and added crispy chili oil and pickled garlic jalapeños the flavors were balanced. The portions were generous and the staff very attentive and friendly.

Staff was friendly and attentive. The soups were really good! My friend said her entree was okay. Good prices for the quality and quantity of the food. Would try again. Egg roll was crispy and fresh. Free parking available, but not a ton of spaces. Venue was clean.

The service was ok. Place was fairly clean. My brother ordered the combo pho add mushrooms. He noticed that they put ONE meatball in the pho. We asked if this is normal and the server told us that's how it comes. I've never seen this at any of the other places that serve pho. Please go anywhere else. The wings were also cold to the touch.

Thankful to have found this tasty food on our vacation. The portions were great, the staff were wonderful and very friendly. We went at 3:30pm and it was not busy at all, which we loved because the food came out super quick. All in all, we really enjoyed and would definitely come back if in town again. Recommendations: We ordered crab rangoon, shrimp rolls, hot Pad Kee Mao with squid, and a medium Kang Massaman Curry with tofu. We also got a frozen banana boba tea with strawberry boba and an iced coconut milk boba. All were delicious and we have nothing but wonderful things to say about the food and drinks.

I had a girls night at Ginger Thai and loved my experience here. This restaurant is located in a strip mall in South Nashville. There is plenty of parking in the area. They also serve bubble teas and gelato, which was a welcomed surprise. The place was casual and very family friendly. Overall, nice relaxed vibes! To start, I got a Thai tea. I was very happy that they let me sub the cream with almond milk! The boba was perfectly chewy and the tea was delicious. As my entree, I got the Pad Himapane. I glanced at yelp before ordering and didn't see any reviews about it. I'm so glad I decided to take a risk and order this! This was a cashew stir fry with a light garlic flavor. I got a nice portion of white rice included with the dish as well. I really enjoyed the veggies and flavor all over. I would definitely order this one again and look forward to coming back!

I usually get take-out from them but not sure what happened recently? A very noticeable down-take in the quality. For example, fried rice was overcooked and dry....I felt like I was eating leftover rice? I need to find a new place now :/

Ginger Thai Restaurant is an excellent option for those who enjoy tasty Thai food and refreshing Boba tea. Their Pad Thai dish with their unique homemade sauce provides a perfect blend of sweet and savory flavors that is a must-try. For customers who prefer extra heat, they also offer spicy options that are sure to satisfy any spicy food lover's cravings. While I prefer milder meals to avoid any stomach upset, it's great to know that Ginger Thai caters to those who prefer spicy cuisine as well. The service is always decent. The waitstaff was friendly and attentive, ensuring that our dining experience was fantastic from beginning to end. Overall, Ginger Thai Restaurant is a hidden gem that should not be overlooked if you're in the mood for authentic Thai dishes and refreshing Boba tea.

Such great food. My favorite Thai restaurant so far. I really like their Pad Thai. They also make good sate.

I love Thai food. Despite this restaurant not being the closest Thai restaurant to my house (not even the closest good Thai restaurant to my house), it is still one that I will go out of my way to go to for their food. The environment of the restaurant is very welcoming. There is a spacious parking lot where you never have to worry about getting a spot. Best of all, they also have boba and ice cream on their menu and that makes for the best meal experience

Used to be my favorite Thai restaurant, but the quality and detail with the food has unfortunately gone wayyyy downhill. We keep giving it a second, third and even fourth chance to see if our bad experience was a fluke, but it's been consistently not great. The food has gotten bland and there seems to be no love in the dish

I ordered food for delivery by Door Dash. Food was good, though they ignored the request for MILD on both the Pad Pak and BBQ Pork Fried Rice. They forgot to check and left out our egg rolls from the order. When I called about this, they blamed the Door Dasher and said all they could offer was an IOU for the next order. We would have to call them when placing the next order -- which does not work when you have food delivered. We have been customers since their opening week. This is shabby treatment of loyal patrons.

Among all the American foods spots around Nashville, my friends and I started to crave Asian food. We came upon Ginger Thai. As soon as we saw the menu, my friend and I opted to share a summer roll appetizer, get pad thai as our main entree and get thai iced tea as our drink. Two things that makes this Thai restaurant different from most I've been to: 1) They offer levels of spicy-ness to their otherwise non-traditional spicy dishes. - Of course, some Thai dishes are known to be traditionally spicy due to the fact that they traditionally add a chili sauce/peppers to their dishes. But for example, pad thai is normally never known to be spicy. But here, they have an option to do add spice, which I appreciate. When asked about it, they said that they just add the peppers to increase the spice. Since given an option to increase the spice, of course I had to! I opted for "hot" (3 asterisk). In my opinion as someone who loves spice, "hot" is more than hot enough. It was definitely spicy and brings the heat. Even for me, my sinuses were running a bit and make you grab for that extra cup of water, but it was tolerable. For anyone non-thai and don't know how hot a thai dish can get, I would not suggest "native thai" spice level at all. 2) I love that they offer not only the traditional chicken, beef, shrimp options for protein, but they also have a meat combo, a seafood combo or even a meat/seafood combo! If I knew beforehand and not after my friend ordered it, I might have opted for one of the three options instead of my standard one protein: chicken. But it's good to know it's an option for slightly a bit more money. Overall, everything was very authentic. As someone who's eaten at multiple Thai restaurants before, I wasn't disappointed. In fact, I was impressed that they do things a bit differently (in a good way)!

Tucked way back in a hidden strip mall on the South Side, Ginger Thai serves up spectacular Asian delights every day! They easily accommodated our party of 11 without us even calling ahead, and the kitchen got the food out astonishingly quickly as the restaurant filled up! The shrimp blanket appetizer is excellent, with plump shrimp cooked in extra crispy egg roll wrappers! The panang curry might just be the most complex flavor of any panang in the Nashville area. It's very good and I've had a lot of panang in both the U.S. and Thailand! Ginger Thai is a fabulous meal at a restaurant with great service, yet another hidden gem in South Nashville!

I like Ginger Thai. When we are in the area, we def stop and get a Thai tea or boba tea. I have not be disappointed in the quality of food.

Absolutely dreadful. The Tom Ka soup was literally broth with 5 pieces of mushroom floating on top and 2 shrimp. The green curry was greasy AF will nothing but bell peppers and old tofu in it. There was also some gross looking caper berry things in there in place of the eggplant. This place can do one.

I ordered from Uber Eats. See pic for amount of actual 'Curry' that was in the dish. 90% Veggies 10% Curry 'water' because that was the consistency. I ordered spicy, no spice whatsoever. The bowl that I placed it in is the same circumference of the dish it was delivered in, just higher depth. Either way. The amount of Curry that was received didn't even cover the extra side of noodles I ordered. Will not order or dine in here b/c the consistency of the Curry was literally water with no flavor. Smh

A FAVE!!! Def one of the best Thai I have ever had and I have been to Thailand myself. The egg rolls were delicious and crispy. The green curry was the perfect spice of my choice. The chicken and rice was made absolutely great! I ordered on Uber eats so I don't know the location but the packaging was very sturdy and well wrapped. Would complete recommend this!

Service was non-existent once we finally received our food. My son actually went to the car and got his water bottle, poured it in his cup, and still no one came over to ask if anyone needed refills. I had the beef pho and the broth tasted like noodle water, the noodles were over-cooked mush, and there were maybe four pieces of beef in the bowl. I don't remember what my son ordered but the taste was so off he didn't finish it (and he LOVES Thai food). We never even got a check - finally went up to the front and asked for our bill to pay. This one is a "definitely won't go back".

Ordered from door dash. It was fast, that's the positive. The food was so bland, absolutely no flavor. I had to put the pad Thai in a pan and heat it up and add to it. The egg roll sauce wasn't secured and it soaked all the egg rolls. The pho was horrible, and the wings were covered w a ketchup like sauce and hard as a rock.

The food was delicious here!! The serving sizes are large. Our waiter Charlie, was quick and communicated well about the orders. The brown rice was cooked well, but nothing extraordinary... it's brown rice. Nonetheless, the entrees were delicious paired with the brown!! The fried rice was absolutely delicious!!!! A great spot to grab Thai cuisine.

Maybe I'm expecting too much out of this restaurant but we had way too much hot chicken and bbq in Nashville so we decided to get Thai food. Checked on yelp and this place had 4 stars so we went for it and ordered on ubereats. I got the Chinese broccoli stir fry with crispy pork belly (it was called kana moo krob or something like that). I've had my fair share of Thai food and I can say that the dish I ordered was not great. It didn't taste bad but it was definitely a let down for 4 stars on yelp review - idk... I'm expecting small slices of pork belly deep fried to crisp but what I got was just a slightly thicker slice of bacon cut into strips...even the thick sliced Costco bacon was thicker than this "moo krob" they call. It was stir fried with Chinese broccoli and basil which was really bitter and bland and the sauce was so runny. It was basically like soup stir fry with the amount of runny sauce on it. It's a little ridiculous but I don't expect much of better Thai food in Nashville because obviously they are known for southern food. Order at your own risk. We ordered the pho as well, it was ok. The broth is not as rich and it's very sweet which is a sign that the broth was not authentic. I wouldn't order here again when I crave for Thai food when I'm in Nashville. I'm very disappointed.

I have a Thai food obsession so when I first moved to Nashville I was on a mission to find the best pad Thai. This place is amazing. I recently had the pad see ew and that was just as insanely good. My only critique is a side of peanut sauce is $3.50!!! Like what?? It's a big side but still, not worth that much.

Ok, I had the pho again. Still good, actually better in flavor. The only thing that I have noticed now with the times I have visited is that they aren't consistent though. The pho wasn't as hot (temperature) as it usually is or should be, I had to rush eating it. The egg rolls were different tonight, they were a bit hard. Joey my service I had last was amazing though. He was kind enough to show me a trick to keep the noodles fresh when you take pho home. And he even provided the right containers! Very polite and attentive. The other server I had for my 1st order was nice but was all over the place and I had to wait to be service a little. Place wasn't that busy really. Maybe she had a lot on her mind. Other thing that was inconsistent was the Thai tea. The actual tea was a bit diluted so you can taste pretty much just the cream/milk with a hint of the tea flavor. Maybe focus on consistency overall. Sometimes you are just craving that specific taste and it sucks when you don't get it. But the food is good overall and you'll be satisfied. Even if it's not that craving at times.

My boyfriend and I had absolutely nothing left on our plates after leaving this restaurant. I got the beef pad see ew, and he got the pad see mau. Both were excellent! They were out of Thai iced tea at the time that we went, but I will definitely be trying it next time.

Great interior & great service. Our waitress was extremely helpful! I'd say this place is more of a 4.5 stars than a 4. The food was good and we'll definitely be back to try other dishes on the menu. We got the pad Thai with med spice level & the udon Laos style. Pad Thai: 5/5 it's definitely more "wet" than other pad Thai that I've had Udon: 4/5 good but could've used more flavor. I added a lot of chili oil which helped but I think it still needed a dash of salt or soy sauce to make it a 5/5 dish. Overall good hangover dish We also got the taro milk tea with boba. Sooooo good. Boba was perfect!

I order ginger Thai for delivery when I was craving pho, but had been disappointed with other places I've tried in town. I was blown away! It was nicely package, had great flavors, lots of flavor addition! The best pho I've had in Nashville! I also got an order of Koa Pad Prik Pow which is a chili paste fried rice! It was seasoned well, but had a lot of basil for my personal taste. Still really good and reheats well if you have leftovers

It's definitely not a 4 star. 3 would be fair. Food is good but SMALL portions for the price. I was expecting more. A little too greasy but edible. Nothing I'll rush back too.

A great restaurant with friendly staff. Came here for the first time and was really in the mood for some Pad Thai when I arrived I was greeted with smiles from the staff and was seated very quickly. I enjoyed the different options of rice and noodles on the menu and you can choose what meat you would like to add. I chose the Pad Thai with Shrimp and it was delicious. The vegetable egg rolls were also very good!

I love this place sooooo much! Their pad Thai has amazing flavor! Their crab Rangoon's are also next level! Megan was our server and she's absolutely incredible.

Thai food at it's best! But don't be fooled by the location. The ambience inside is well worth the trouble it takes to get here the first time. Hint: Look for the shady food truck at the corner gas station and you're right on track. Then make a sharp left turn into a semi abandoned parking lot and you're there! Once you're safely inside...the world of Thai food is yours! The staff is very welcoming and genuinely happy to see their regulars walk in. It always surprises me when they remember what I ordered last time, especially because I don't remember what I had for breakfast this morning. I don't even really remember what we were talking about....Oh yeah, Thai food! You can't go wrong with the classic Pad Thai, but I'm assuming that you were able to safely navigate your way to this restaurant, and that means that you are grown enough to venture outside of the box. So try a veggie spring roll or egg roll with delicious sauce. Dip your fingers in it, I dare you. Make sure to err on the safe side when choosing your level of spice. It always comes out hotter than you think it will be. My suggestion is to get the spice rack tray for the table, that way you can add it to your liking. After you have tried the classics, go for one of the curry dishes or papaya salad. I was graciously warned that the papaya salad had a strong fish or soy sauce smell. I told them it was fine, after all I am single. The tofu is organic, steamed, and great with any dish. I know this because I'm cheap and I love to eat off people's plates! The one thing I will spring for is a pot of ginger tea. It's smooth, sweet, and made with real ginger crystals that give it a zing. Share it with a group or drink every drop yourself. Its perfect for a warm chat with all of your friends!

My wife an dI come here at least once a week! We love their chicken pad thai. This place is a favorite and a staple in Nashville. Prices are great and staff is kind and helpful. Their bobas are very delicious.

Ginger Thai Restaurant is a family-owned and operated establishment with a substantial Thai options, gelato/sorbetto and bubble/milk tea. It is tucked in a shopping center off of Thompson Lane in south Nashville. Ambiance: 4/5 The ambiance is simple, modern and colorful. The restaurant is dimly lit and it has a nice feel to it if you want to dine in. The walls are painted vibrant colors and the restaurant is nice. Food/Drink: 5/5 We ordered the following: -Lavender milk tea with boba ($3.95/16 oz) The lavender flavor was not overwhelming and they were generous with the amount of boba they put into the drink as well. Very tasty! -Half Stracciatella (chocolate chip) and half lemon cup of gelato ($4.95/cup): I've never seen a Thai place have gelato but anywhere there is gelato you get points from me. The flavors were excellent and the sweet, creamy goodness of that gelato was on point. -Crab ragoons ($5.95) I believe that there were 5 ragoons in the order. The crab flavor is not overwhelming and it is served with a sweet sauce on the side for dipping. -Pad Se Ew with beef ($10.95) This dish has thick, flat noodles with egg and broccoli in a sweet soy based sauce. -Pad Thai with chicken ($9.95) Although a standard Thai favorite, this dish was flavorful and a good portion. Service: 6/5 Okay so a 6 out of 5 is not mathematically possible, I get it. However, the service here is so great that I thought that number would show how nice there are here. We were greeted with a warm, friendly smile to get our takeout order. Then we decided to spend some time ordering a drink and some gelato once we got there and realized how great it all looked. The staff member let us try a lot of samples and she was joking around with us and made us feel comfortable. Best service we've had in a long time! Overall the ambiance, food/drink, and sesrvice are all top notch giving it a rating of a 5. This is my favorite Thai place I've tried in Nashville as the food tastes authentic and it makes for a great experience.

After our amazing first experience we had with Ginger Thai and especially the service we received from Lena and Linda, we were so excited to go back here so we went there for dinner tonight and I am really saddened to change my 5 stars to 1 but it has to be done. When we walked in the server, Ant (that is the name that was on our check)had a can't even be bothered attitude. She sat us but looked kind of annoyed. I cheerfully asked her if Linda or Lena was working and told her we had such a good experience the first time. She said Linda was working but Lena was off. I don't know if me asking her upset her even more, but the service was so weird and awkward even more from there on. We ordered a Tom Kha Gai soup for my baby. We were looking to order fried rice and the rice we chose, the server seemed annoyed that we were asking for it mild. We explained to her that baby would be eating it and she said she couldn't change it and told us to order something else so we ended up ordered the basil fried rice. My husband ordered pork green curry, Thai hot where as me who has been watching a lot of Mark Wiens on YouTube wanted to desperately try his favorite Pad Ka Prow so I ordered Shrimp Pad Ka Prow, also Thai hot. First thing we both noticed when our dishes appeared was that they were both loaded with green bell peppers. My husband commented that maybe green bell pepper was on sale today as both our dishes were overwhelmed with it. My husband said his green curry was so watery it felt like a soup rather than curry and didn't have any flavor at all. My Pad Ka Prow was unlike anything I have seen Mark Wiens eating or the various recipes I have seen online. It was again loaded with green bell peppers and very little of anything else. It was edible but not enjoyable. From service to our food, this time our experience with Ginger Thai was definitely not enjoyable at all.

It was delicious. Not really much to look at inside but the food is really tasty. You'll find delicacies here not seen elsewhere.

I was very impressed with Ginger's fresh, flavorful food! I can't wait to return so I can try more of their dishes!!!

Very clean but service is slow.. you have to go find them to order or get refills and the food sometimes the veggies are raw.. it tastes like generic Thai and not authentic. It's ok but just not as good as it used to be.

The medium massaman curry soup was a bit spicy, but good. One more pepper would have made it too spicy for my palate so I'll order the mild next time just to be safe. The fried rice was hands down the best I've ever tasted. I was definitely worth the 20 minute drive.

We got the fish cake appetizer which wasn't that great imo. I found it too oily & rubbery. The shrimp pad Thai was really good & they were very generous with the amount of shrimps & the shrimp tails were already removed. My husband ordered a cat fish dish and that was also very good. The portion was a good amount and perfectly spiced. There was a lot of options on the menu and I find them comparable to Thai restaurants in NYC. Price was very reasonable for the portion size. I also got the strawberry bubble tea which to me was disappointing & overly sweet. It tasted exactly like this powder mix I had gotten before. Since this isn't a bubble tea place, it's ok for what it is but I wouldn't get it again.

Ginger Thai offers pretty good Thai food in a strip-mall setting. One of my go-to cuisines on the road is Thai, and Ginger Thai did not disappoint. The atmosphere is very informal. I sense they do a good deal of lunch-time and carry-out business. The setting is not going to 'wow' your clients or a first date: comfortably casual I'd say. The service was prompt and attentive. The dishes I had were good; I'll put their chef to the test the next time I'm town. I recommend GT if you're seeking good Thai in this part of Nashville. PS: For people who wish to heat-up their dinner after the fact if you've accidentally ordered too mild-- ask for 'Prik Nam Pla' (Thai Fish Sauce with chilis); it'll add fire to anything

4.5 stars the food I've gotten here has always been good and flavorful, more than some other places in town for sure. I love that's it's kind of tucked away and kind of a hole in the wall. The place is still very clean though! I always order to go so I can't speak to the serving experience, but I will say every time I come to pick up they've always been friendly and the food comes out pretty quickly. I love their noodle soups, especially the Guey Tom Yum. It has a great blend of a flavorful but citrusy broth with a mixture of pork belly and bbq pork with bean sprouts and herbs. This is really great when it's cold, and if you get it spicy it's really good for colds. I also often get the 3 flavor wings. They are crispy, but also saucy which is the perfect combo for me. I usually get them medium spicy and thats good for me. We got hot once and it was a little too much for us. Tonight I got the Pad Kee Mao for the first time and it's really good! I will say it's not as saucy or the same type of sauce as other places make it. It's more of a chili paste which I think is still good. I got this medium spicy as well, but I think I could've gone with a little spicier. Still plenty of flavor and a nice kick to it. All in all one of my go to Thai places in town. The prices are reasonable as well as the portions. You can't go wrong with this place in my opinion. Parking can be tricky as the lot is small, but I always try to go before or after the dinner rush and there's always a spot.

Absolutely my favorite Thai. Flavors are spot on. Delivery is always correct and fast.

Pretty disappointed in my meal. I ordered chicken pad Thai and an order of egg rolls. I know every place has their own version of a typical pad Thai but this was just not good. Straight up. No matter taste preferences, this just was not good. I didn't even come close to finishing it. Egg rolls were fine but not a good enough choice to satiate my appetite. Bummed because this is the first place I'd ordered from in Nashville.

When our trek to house of kabob failed due to them being closed for observance of Eid, the bf and I decided to detour to the closest acceptable restaurant around the corner, Ginger Thai. I guess fate or just life has a way of knowing what's best for you because this place delivered! We came on a Sunday around 11:30 am so the restaurant was still quiet. We seated ourselves and, after looking at the fairly extensive menu, ordered the Thai style papaya salad, duck curry and some pho/ramen like broth with vermicelli noodles called sukiyaki. All were ordered very spicy. The Papaya salad was flavorful, with both the spice and pungent fish sauce coming through. It comes with a bit of raw cabbage to ease the hot. The duck curry was delicious--broth was very satisfying and spicy, and I kept going back for more. The only critique I had was that the duck wasn't as tender as I hoped and was also pretty fatty. My bf seemed to enjoy his noodle dish. Price for both was around $40, so pretty standard fair if not a little higher than most Thai places. Would definitely revisit this place again, and not as a detour.

....Inside is good, but stuff have to learn many things.Ice crea is not fresh.I'm really sorry....!

Fantastic food, fast lunch service & reasonably priced! Family friendly for this family of 5! We ordered combo Kao Pad, Beef Pad Kee Mao and chicken pad Thai. Lena was a kind, happy server. We hope to eat here again when we make our annual trip to Kentucky, passing through Nashville. Thanks for terrific Thai food! -The Nevill's

I had the Panang Curry and it was SO GOOD! And the crab Rangoons were great too of course.

Consistently good. Only ordered take-out but I have nearly always enjoyed the food. The pineapple fried rice is AMAZING! The red curry and the green curry are very good. I recommend chicken or tofu varieties. I got shrimp once and it was really not good.

I've gone here a few times and honestly food never let me down. Definitely a spot I'll go to again when I'm craving decent Thai food!

Having stuffed ourselves with hot chicken, we craved a different flavor and opted for Ginger Thai (delivered). We had low expectations being in Nashville, but were pleasantly surprised! Our group ordered a variety of dishes and everyone was happy with their meal. If you like the heat on your hot chicken, don't be shy about ordering the noodles or curry hot here, too!

A friend and I made plans to meet for lunch, and he suggested Ginger Thai. I've never been before, and after glancing at the reviews, it seems like an okay place. I'm always up for Thai food and usually look for places I've never tried before. He arrived ahead of me, and went in to grab a table and something to drink. I arrived about 10 minutes after he did. I went over to the table, and he remarked about how easy it was to be seated because generally the lunch crowd is heavier than it was. Two people working there saw me come in and sit down, but neither bothered to greet me. Strike one. After 10 minutes of waiting to place my drink order we finally flagged someone over. Strike two. The food came out very quickly. I ordered fresh rolls with shrimp as an appetizer for us to share. The vegetables and shrimp were fresh, but I thought the peanut dipping sauce was a little lacking. My lunch entree was pad pak with pork, and it was very good, with just the right amount of heat for the middle of the day. Generally I like a hotter spice level, and will probably ask for it to be bumped up a notch next time. (Yes, Virginia, there WILL be a next time.) My friend said he usually ordered chicken pad thai, and said his was good. After the meal we sat and visited for a while, and I kept glancing over at the gelato. Italian dessert in a Thai restaurant? That's a really great idea! I found the juxtaposition of Asian and European to be an interesting combination. While I didn't order gelato, I think I'll do so in the future. So even though Ginger Thai started out with two strikes, my first impression is favorable because they redeemed themselves on the food. Had the service been a little better, my four star rating would have been a five. Note to the management: never underestimate the value of a good first impression. Greet your customers as they come through the door, and for heaven's sake, don't make them wait 10 minutes before you come get their drink order. I'm willing to give second chances, but a lot of people aren't, so you want to start off on the right foot. If you alienate them they will not return; no matter how good the food, if the customer service isn't up to standard, folks won't be back.

This place has amazing ginger fried rice and pad Thai! I had their yum nuar salad as well and that was delicious. I especially like their sweet juicy sausages they use in their fried rice. Generally, most of their dishes are around $12-14, but I think it's very worth it for their quality of food. Their portions are also very big so I recommend going with 3-4 other people, ordering a couple dishes, and sharing.

Food was tasty and restaurant inside atmosphere was very welcoming. They also have Gelatos and Sarbetto and bubble tea. Tom Ka Gai soup we got was ok but I definitely have had better. Pineapple fried rice was awesome.
