Ginger

Stopped in for some drinks and appetizers at Ginger in the MGM National Harbor. Great decorations and ambiance for the restaurant. Since mid-day, the restaurant was not as busy as probably dinner time. For appetizers we had Vietnamese Spring Rolls and Lettuce Wraps. They were both delicious. Love the Lettuce wraps and their presentation. For drinks we had a glass of Sebastiani Chardonnay. Dallas was our server and was excellent. Check it out, good food, good service and a great atmosphere.

Our two servers were delightful. Very sweet ladies, Jenny was one of them, and the food was delicious. Expensive but very good. I enjoyed it here, the mochi ice cream was different but fun and interesting. I recommend... just be prepared for the bill.. but it's worth it

Nice little noodle bar nestled near the Baccarat tables. Service is fantastic and waitress was friendly and helpful. Restaurant is clean throughout. Food comes out hot and fast. My Hong Kong Wonton soup was fantastic. Several things on the menu to choose from. Great job folks.

Overall a good spot. Food was very flavorful, presentation was on-point, and service was prompt and helpful. Cost of each dish was a touch high and each of the tables in the place are very open. It felt like everyone is right by each other, even though there was space between tables. There aren't any booths, just tables. Generally not bad but I don't think it's necessarily worth the cost. It burns to pay almost $10 for an appetizer single person cup of soup. I think that took away from the overall impression in some ways. It was simply over the top.

I really enjoyed the food and drinks. I ordered the Sweet & Sour Chicken. I like my chicken with a little more flavor, but this dish was delicious with the peppers and pineapple. The combination was very good. I really enjoyed the Spring Rolls, the dipping sauce was delicious. I recommend the Mai Tai for a nice cocktail to enjoy with your dinner.

Food was very good. Def stopping by again when we're in the area. Went back today!!! Wow!! The food choices were delicious. Honey glazed chicken wings and kingdom pork chops were SOOOO good!! 😁👍🏼👍🏼

Excellent Singapore noodles (subbed pork for chicken) and excellent Pad Thai. Excellent service, very attentive. When telling management about the great experience, they were super nice too! Definitely recommend!!!

Ordered lettuce wraps and veg/tofu drunken noodles. There was barely any chicken in the lettuce wraps. Filling was dominated by lot of celery and something else which I couldn't figure out. I could only taste celery in there. We asked for medium spicy drunken noodles. We got super mild one. Had to add lot of some green chili sauce to add flavor to it. Definitely not going back. Overpriced for the tasteless food we had. Only plus point is service was quick.

Steven was an exceptional food manager who provided outstanding service. His attention to detail was impeccable, and he consistently went above and beyond to ensure that every customer had a memorable dining experience. His warm and welcoming demeanor made us feel valued, and his ability to manage the restaurant operations smoothly made our meal enjoyable and hassle-free. Steven's dedication to customer satisfaction was evident in every interaction, and his leadership clearly had a positive impact on the rest of the staff. Highly recommend visiting the restaurant under Steven's management for a top-notch service experience!

Really nice experience! We arrived for our 630pm reservation and were seated within moments. Lin was our server and she was lovely and helped us with menus selections. We opted for the soft shell crab rice and Thai seafood omelette and they were delicious. We naturally ordered drinks and they were tasty! We appreciated the ambiance and hospitality and the manager (Steven) even stopped by to ensure we had an enjoyable time. I will be sure to return!

Stayed at the MGM Grand and was starving when we arrived and boy did we go to the right place! Service was on the spot and the food was ready so quickly! We had 4 in our party and all was ready in the time it usually takes for an appetizer. Might be the best fried rice I've ever had! And I love Mongolian beef - this has a kick to it, a bit spicy but in a good way. The flavor was there. And then she brought a hot towel to everyone at the end. Portions were good for sharing. But not too large that you will have leftovers. Just enough. So convenient being in the hotel and casino.

Man listen, this place is awesome. It's located within MGM, so it's pretty noisy but nothing out of the ordinary. Our waitress, Yennifer was amazing. She was very friendly, polite, personable and had a great attitude. She made the dining experience even better. The set up of the restaurant is nice and they move rather quickly. Like it didn't take long for our food to arrive. It arrived so quick I was nervous that they didn't even cook it properly. I was wrong! The food was fresh, plentiful and hot. I ordered the shrimp pad Thai and the hubby had beef and broccoli. Our friends ordered general tso, wonton soup, spring rolls and some kind of curry. Can't place the name of it but it looked delicious. If you order an entree that comes with rice, you receive a big bowl to share but don't worry they will offer more if need be. I wasn't able to capture everyone's meal bc we were hungry but trust me it's worth the wait. Prices are reasonable for the area and location of the restaurant. Definitely recommended!!

Chose to dine here at the last minute during our anniversary weekend. Definitely wasn't what we expected. It's what more "fast food" quality dishes at restaurant prices. For those who are not particular or just looking to grab something to eat because they are in the area and everything else is booked, maybe give this place a try. It was definitely a one time thing for us, but it's because I have specific expectations. The ingredients used were even different in commonly ordered dishes, such as the panang curry... it had lychee in it. I've never experienced that before. The curry also tasted like they prepare a large batch of the curry and add the protein of choice upon order because the beef had none of the curry flavor. The vegetable spring rolls tasted like the ones you buy in the grocery store, the wings were just ok. The basil fried rice was the best thing we ordered and probably would've been satisfied with 2 orders of that and nothing else.

The food was pretty good but could have been a tad bit spicier!! The ambiance of the place was super cool felt like I was in Vegas without being in Vegas!! The service was pretty good they let us get the seats way faster than they said and the food came out right away. The service could have been better as it took a really long time for us to be served when we for seated! Pad Thai - really good would highly recommend!! Kung Pao Chicken- it was okay, could have been spicier. It did have flavor but overall could have been better!

First and for Most Kiran is amazing, very Friendly, fast and goes above and beyond. The Food is great stands out as it comes, and I love the look of the place simple yet elegant.

Very spacious and nice ambiance! Food that we chose were excellent - Chinese broccoli beef chow fun (short flat noodles) , which had a thickened "sauce" or gravy-like texture (probably cornstarch) and Taiwanese three-cup chicken were excellent. Service was also excellent. Next day I ordered the same broccoli beef dish to go (but since this comes with noodles which they packed separately of course and when heated it was still delicious but it's best eaten on the spot ).

Had a great experience. Kiran was a great host. Will be back soon. She's very hard working and very nice.

I ordered food to go Kiran is my server She is wonderful and hard working and polite .one of the customers was speaking loudly at counter but she politely and softly answered him.Keep it up Good luck

Had lunch with my (86) year old mom today at Ginger. She loves to sit out in the atrium and enjoy the sunshine beneath the latest seasonal theme. We always stop in for lunch or dinner after we gamble for a few hours. Yang was our server (again) and she is so sweet. Shared pictures of her son graduating from elementary school. Food was delicious as always, hot and fresh and prompt to the table. Today we had cocktails and apps. If there was one change I'd make it would be to offer a gin & tonic that was less than $15. Otherwise, always a great experience at Ginger...

I had the crab fried rice and it was delicious and they were even were able to customize it for me for a food sensitivity. The service was great. We had Lin for our server, and Steve was so friendly checking in on our service. I will definitely come back again!

Food is hit or miss guessing it depends on the chef that's on duty. Service is about the same. I've been and has had great service other times I feel like cattle or the forgotten woman under the stairs. The atmosphere is nice located near the theater and atrium of the MGM. I always order the same thing and the flavor definitely varies each time I get the chicken Singapore noodles. I'll ask for spice and it doesn't have any. Which is crazy because this dish could and should have a nice kick. I'll always come back as they are the only place local to me that have decent Singapore noodles that I like. Stop by and give them a try

I recently attended the Charlie Wilson concert at the MGM National Harbor Theatre and decided to grab dinner at the restaurant Ginger beforehand. Although I had passed by it many times before, I was thrilled with the dining experience. One of the things I appreciated most was the reservation process. I was able to make a reservation online. When I arrived, I received a text message notifying me that my table was ready. I replied and was immediately seated, bypassing those who had to wait in line. The restaurant itself is located in a prime spot and has a beautiful setting. However, what surprised me was how quickly our food arrived. Despite the restaurant being busy, our drinks arrived promptly, and our food was on the table within five minutes of ordering. As someone who works in operations, I was impressed with their efficiency and speed. Furthermore, the food was fantastic! My friend ordered the crab meat soup with spring rolls, while I opted for the sweet-and-sour chicken. Everything was well-seasoned and delicious. We spent a total of $74.88 (not including tip), which included our drinks, making it an affordable option compared to other restaurants at MGM National Harbor. Overall, I highly recommend Ginger. The quality of the food and service was exceptional, making it a great choice for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience.

The best thing about this place, is the extended hours. Just not a fan of anything I've had. From noodles to rice to apps. Won't return unfortunately.

Upon entering this restaurant, which is conveniently located right at the MGM valet door entrance, you are welcomed by the beautiful ambiance. It is situated right in a busy walking area but surprisingly the noise of the MGM patrons does not disturb the experience in the restaurant. The server was a bit rude, but we did notice anytime a table seemed to be experiencing any issue a manager would appear immediately. We had a few questions about the menu and our server was a bit confused, a manager came right over, without being asked. We appreciated the attention they kept on the restaurant. The food was ok, we ordered a few items to share family style. The items we ordered were: Chicken lettuce wraps, which came with 3. They were over stuffed, but with mainly celery. The lamb lollipops, they were over done, so we had to send them back and we didn't no ask for more. The Chicken Pad Thai was not all that! As someone who loves loves loves Pad Thai I was pretty disappointed. The manager did try to bring me some sauce because it was very dry. The honey glazed wings, my mom loved them. Tasty and cooked to perfection. Crispy veggie spring rolls, were very hot and delicious. All of the food came out very fast which we loved, allowed us to finish dinner and continue on to our next destination. The over all experience was just ok, the restaurant was pretty busy. The staff managed the busy atmosphere very well.

Kiran, the hostess is the BEST, so attentive and hardworking. Makes sure to clarify even the smallest of details and does so patiently. She makes every experience so enjoyable!

I was lucky enough to have been invited to have dinner here on Christmas night for my father in law's birthday. I'm not sure if it was difficult for them to get this table but I really liked their food and enjoyed the company!! [Food: 5 of 5] --We ordered a lot of stuff, and I can't think of one dish that I disliked. Lamb Lollipops: 5 of 5! this was the first dish that came out and it paired well with their soysauce and chilis. Oxtail Soup: 5 of 5- fresh and hot, the oxtail was very tender. Ginger Scallion Lobster : 6 of 5! I got to bring the leftovers home and it was still very delicious after being refrigerated and microwaved Steamed Sea Bass: 4.8 of 5- I wish the fish got to suck in more flavor but this dish was delicious at the restaurant and as a leftover too! House Style Diced Beef: served with bell peppers and onions; not my cup of tea but it didnt taste bad!! Honey Walnut Prawns: 5 of 5! crispy, with walnuts on the side, wish they served it with more mayonnaise but very very good. Deep Fried? Shrimp: served like the shrimp dish at Chinese buffet lines! Salted Egg Shrimp: 10 of 10!! Literally my favorite dish of the whole night- Shrimp mixed in salted egg yolk; saltiness with a subtle hint of sweet. a MUST ORDER! [Drink: 3 of 5] I ordered a Blue Hawaiian and .. honestly I thought it could've been better. It was very sweet and only tasted like soda water and blue curaçao. [Dessert: 3.5 of 5] Mochi Icecream: okay... no one dislikes mochi icecream right? yes, it was as delicious as it sounds. It came with matcha, strawberry and vanilla mochi. Mango Sticky Rice: the restaurant used sour mango instead of sweet yellow mango which (in my opinion) ruined the dessert. the sticky rice and coconut were sweet enough by itself to eat without mango too which I enjoyed alot [Service: 5 of 5] I wish I remembered their names but the ladies who helped us out were very helpful and sweet. They stopped by often to constantly check on us [Ambiance: 4 of 5] We sat in one of the private rooms in the back and we really enjoyed the privacy it gave as there were curtains to block other customers from looking in. The pulled out curtains were a nice touch for when we opened presents at the end of dinner! Con: since we were in the back/private room; it was very hot. it got toasty in there with little air circulation. Overall: Definitely check them out and get their Salted Egg Shrimp dish!

Steven's exceptional customer service stems from his genuine care for people. He listens attentively to their needs, responds promptly, and goes above and beyond to ensure their satisfaction. His positive attitude, empathy, and willingness to help create memorable experiences for customers, leaving them feeling valued and appreciated.

Chines restaurant at MGM, DC. The tofu /bokchoy dish and sauteed eggplants were good but the fried crispy pork chop was salty and they used bad quality pork chops with a lot of fat. The hot and sour soup didn't taste too good and was charged $12. The ambience was nice and the service was attentive.

The food court area was lacking so we ended up here! We are so happy we did. We were seated right away and able to enjoy the seasonal decorations and structures. Our waiter Zheng, was fast and attentive. We appreciated him as another table was very rude, yet he kept it professional with everyone and never missed a beat with refills and everything we needed. We started with the lettuce wraps that were filled with more filling than I've ever seen before and freshly fried gyozas. The sauces with the small spoons were a cute touch. For mains we got the Peking duck (whole) and combo house fried rice which was a lot of food. We requested the pancakes and the bao buns. The duck comes with one or the other, or $5 extra for both. It was AMAZING. Super surprised at how authentic it was for this location. Will be back! Thanks Zheng for taking care of us!

I LOVE the Asian noodle bar in any Casino, so they kind of have me at Konichi wa. But my bar is pretty high because I lived in Japan for a couple years and fell in love with the real thing. Casino noodle bars can also be way overpriced and underrated. But Ginger was fantastic! Great service, and flavorful food! Beautiful ambiance, and I didn't feel like an outcast with my party if one. May have been my first time ordering "ramen" that had a visually flavorful and appealing broth without having to add a bunch of stuff to it. Visit Ginger when you're at MGM National Harbor!

Date Night to see Ms. Diana Ross at MGM National Harbor. So we stop at Gingers (our favorite spot there) to get a quick bite to eat. Our Hostess of ALL Hostesses sat us with a very hospitable and attentive waiter; Dallas, He good and funny too. Ms Bee had an hour wait for her section and we were in a time crunch. But it all worked our. Thank you to all the staff that made our night. Cheers

I really enjoyed the food and drinks. I ordered the Sweet & Sour Chicken. I like my chicken with a little more flavor, but this dish was delicious with the peppers and pineapple. The combination was very good. I really enjoyed the Spring Rolls, the dipping sauce was delicious. I recommend the Mai Tai for a nice cocktail to enjoy with your dinner.

This gem is in the MGM at National Harbor. It is an upper scale Asian restaurant. I ordered the garlic edamame and soft shell crab fried rice. It was a nice portion and the crab was delicious. The fried rice was light and fluffy. There were several choices that looked great, I will definitely return.

We decided to eat at Ginger because we were at the MGM for a comedy show and they were the only restaurant with reservations available before the show. Pros, the service was for the most part, very fast. The lettuce wraps came out within maybe 5 minutes of us ordering them and our entrees came out while we were finishing the appetizer. At one point we did have to get our servers attention as she hadn't been to our table in a while and my husband needed additional rice and we both needed drinks. Cons, the food overall was bland. The chicken in the lettuce wraps didn't have much flavor and they were loaded with a ton of celery. All of the hoisin sauce was in the bottom of the wrap which I found odd. I think it would be better on top. I ordered the shrimp pad Thai, and again, it was bland. I've had better pad Thai for half the price. The prices here are high for what you're getting. The portions are large but the food lacks flavor. We ordered drinks as well. We each had the scorpion and found they were very acidic and too strong. It tasted like I was drinking rum with lime juice. Another issue, the restaurant itself is beautiful but I wasn't a fan of our table. We were at a 2 person table, booth on one side, chair on the other and the table was extremely close to the tables to the tables next to us. We were in the middle, so I had to squeeze by the one table to get into the booth and I'm not a large person. It felt like we were dining with the tables next to us, that's how close we were. I did have a reservation but it felt like we were sat at a table that was for walk ins they just needed to stick somewhere. I would try other options in the MGM before returning here.

This is a pretty standard Chinese restaurant located inside MGM Casino. It's typical Chinese American Fare mixed with some traditional dishes. The food is pretty good and the service is fast.

I was not impressed by Ginger. The ambiance felt like a food court at the mall. Servers cleaned out table while we still had food and were talking. As for the food, several of us had chicken pad Thai and it was tasteless. I think fast food would have been better. The curry was ok but nothing special.

I often visit Ginger and I am always pleasantly greeted by the friendly customer service of Kiran. She wears a mask most of the time, however I can feel the warmth of her smile behind it! She is consistent and is eager to make sure the customer is pleased.

Ginger is such a hit or miss it's insane. Came here twice and both times I thought to myself "Wow this isn't good at all" then I will eat something else and think "Wow, this is amazing" You don't come here for the drinks, they are decent but go literally anywhere else for cocktails. Ordered the honey glazed chicken wings and those were AMAZING, like some of my favorite wings that I've ever had which got my hopes up for the rest of the dishes lolol. Potstickers weren't bad, but they weren't good either sighhh. General Tso Shrimp & Chicken were both fantastic, but the Squid and the bbq pork were terrible. Squid wasn't fully cooked and the pork was EXTREMELY dry. Like I said, some things are fantastic but others are sooooo bad. I'll come back for the amazing things though

Located inside the lobby of the MGM casino, Ginger is a upscale Asian restaurant with a lovely view of the comings and goings -- especially at Christmas. If you're looking for something nicer than the MGM food court. This is a good spot. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. However, my waitress actually tried to talk me out of the Salt & Pepper Squid!?! She said she had two customers return it for lack of taste and being dry. But it was exactly what I was looking for! --Crispy and flavorful. I'm very picky about Vietnamese Fried Spring Rolls, and these were some of the best I've ever ordered. (I did request a few more lettuce leaves for wrapping.) The waiters and expeditors work hand-in-hand for seamless service.

First time at Ginger, I had high expectations because not only was it at the beautiful MGM, but the reviews were mostly positive, the menu looked appealing and based on the prices they sell their dishes for I assumed it was a quality place. I wasn't throughly impressed, but we were starving and needed something quick, fast, and in a hurry. This is not the place for a quiet date night. The food is okay. It's not something I'd rave about but definitely an experience that was alright if you were in the area. . Drinks were tasty but light. Overall, it's an okay spot to try but not something that stands out as much as I thought it would for the Asian flare of the menu. The staff was very friendly and always checked on us, so customer service was a plus. I'm not hard pressed to return on my next visit.

Kiran (Hostess) was so friendly and made the dining experience that much more pleasurable.

Bottom Line Up Front: This place is all show and no go. Very nice looking with majority Asian service staff in a Asian themed restaurant. But that's as far as it goes. The food was sooo underwhelming...I had the Panang curry with shrimp...it was very meh...I ordered a side of broccoli and it literally was broccoli with nothing on it...I had to ask for salt because they had nothing on my table or any table near. I ended up dunking it in the curry just to give it some taste. My wife and I both have been to Japan, Korea, Hawaii and other places that you have this cuisine. My wife had the Pad Thai and said that it literally was the worse she has ever had. I tasted it and can only confirm it wasn't that good. If you want ambiance and class, this is your place. If you want great food, you might want to find somewhere else. It's not terrible, just not that good! You don't always get what you pay for.

Ginger has come a long way from when they first opened several years back. Located inside the MGM National Harbor, it isn't necessarily a family-friendly restaurant to dine in. That said, I wouldn't recommend the trip unless you're already at the casino. It is not an easily accessible business. The taste and quality of food improved tremendously over the years and has become one of my parents favorite go-to Chinese restaurants (serves traditional Chinese cuisines and occasionally, off the menu Sichuan dishes). If you're at MGM, I highly recommend. However, and this is especially important, if you find yourself dining here, expect a hefty bill; a Peking duck is priced at $99. If not for the inconvenience of the location and high cost, this place totally deserves an extra star, in my opinion.

Ginger has the best location! Right in the heart of MGM Hotel in the National Harbor. I've eaten here 3 times now and every meal is so good. I'm never disappointed by the flavors, the quality and the presentation. I order the rockfish twice now with a side of sautéed spinach and it's sooo good. The Rockfish has the most delectable crust I have ever had and the inside fish, is light and fluffy and hot - both occasions. The spinach, is plentiful and buttery. My disappointments are the amount of rice provided for my dishes. I always have to ask for more. I would also say that it is on the pricier side given the portions. I usually leave satisfied but I'm definitely hungry later and there aren't usually any leftovers. With much of the menu a la carte, I find the restaurant capitalizes on the convenience of being in the hotel. A very open restaurant so, not a spot for romantic dinners. Definitely a fun spot to eat at though!

It was my first time at the MGM and we decided to try Ginger for dinner. The restaurant has a very upscale look, it is decorated well. The restaurant is open to the lobby of the MGM so it is a louder/ more chaotic feeling dining experience. The food was just okay. I had the special pho and it didn't have much flavor. All our food came out super fast so that was nice. Our waitress was good at her job, but was not very friendly. This restaurant felt overpriced for the food/ service we received.

We ate here News Years Day. The atmosphere was amazing. My hubby had the Yellow Curry with chicken and I had Pad Thai with shrimp and spicy shrimp with broccoli. Everything was delicious. I would definitely recommend this place. They have private rooms also. Thank you Cecilia. You are an awesome server.

This restaurant is inside MGM National Harbor. This restaurant is also clean with great lighting, exceptional service, and insanely good Sweet & Sour Cucumber Salad. The Sweet & Sour Cucumber Salad has a nice spicy kick to it. And I don't often talk about aftertaste, but it crushes on that. You feel like you're still eating it an hour later. You might find even yourself smiling at the poker table and someone will ask you why, and you will say, "Cucumber Salad." The noodles were good. Not a lot of taste but still good. I should have asked for soy sauce. The prices here are insanely high, unless you order sides. A savvy casino restaurant strategy. Highly recommended.

The food, the service, the location. Highly recommended it and will definitely revisit again.

Food was ok here the best thing was the spring rolls. It's a bit overhyped and overpriced for the quality. Service was pretty good and the ambiance was nice and open with views inside of the MGM. I wasn't that impressed with the food it was mediocre.

We stumbled here after a night of concert and gambling. This joint HIT THE SPOT! Braised beef noodle and ox tail was excellent. And the our waitress Eden offered great service, despite how busy they were. I will be back!

The lamb lollipops were amazingly delicious and so were the crispy spring rolls, but the chicken lettuce wraps would have been so much better if they did not already come with the hoisin sauce underneath the ground chicken since it made it overpowering with sweetness! The service was on point and she made sure we were on time for our event. Would definitely return here and devour more of their lamb lollipops!

Perfect food and service. 3 of us dine at this restaurant on Friday night. Our server Mr Lee was super nice. He was very polite and tending. His food recommendation was super helpful and accurate. The restaurant decorations are very pleasant and in harmony. The food was scrumptious and got delivered very quickly. We loved everything about dining at Ginger and we definitely come back.

Steven and Song always make sure you have the best time at Ginger. The service is without parallel at this spot. You always feel like part of the family. The cherry on top is the amazing food. 10/10 recommend!!!

Ginger was a good experience. I must say that the Fried rice was really good. The crab omelette with white rice was decent. The martini drink was really good. The mango stick rice was on point! The fried rice was really really good! The service was really good as well. The servers paid attention and was willing to assist immediately. I intend to go back.

Food was amazing! Every dish we selected was a delight on the palate, and there was a good selection of options. The setting is very elegant. Service was a little slow and our server kept disappearing. But overall would highly recommend.

My meal was very delicious from start to finish. I had the potstickers and the general tso's shrimp. The shrimp had great flavor and was very crispy. The potsticker were good as well, but I have had much better. My mom loved her fried rice. I liked the overall experience.

We had an excellent meal here before a show at MGM. Although the service was a little pushy, we had a great time. Our server was very quick, and the food came out quick too, but I totally understand when they are trying to move people in and out fast, and they do have a table time limit. Other than that, everything was great. Some food highlights of the dinner: the hot and sour cucumber appetizer, the lettuce wraps, and the general tso's with shrimp. We pratically ate every bite of every plate that landed on our table. That cucumber app was awesome and a bit surprising with the heat. I really enjoyed the lettuce wraps and could have eaten more of those! We also ordered some cocktails and wine and they were delicious too. Highly recommend this place if you are at MGM for a show!

I love Eden, great food. Amazing time and amazing service. Kind, friendly, and very beautiful .
