STAY AWAY! I don't know where to start.
I had a strong feeling when walking in my meal wouldn't be satisfying. I was absolutely correct.
Upon entering the place, a stocky Chinese guy manning the front counter desk was apparently busy with his phone and took forever to acknowledge my party and rudely at that. Instead of asking the always asked, "How many?", he just blankly stares at us silently until I ask him for a table. Sorry to mess up your day buddy.
The server, also rude, I saw three times the entire meal. 1. Take the order. 2. Bring order. 3. Bring check. Not once did he check up to see if we needed anything or asked how the food was. Even if we did need something, he was nowhere to be seen anyways.
As a first time customer there, my party of two ordered 2 lunch specials- Pad thai and the 2 roll special.
The pad thai came out first, and I was shocked. First, a tiny dish with tiny serving. Second, all the usual toppings like bean sprouts, chives, egg were so sparingly added, they may as well have not been added at all. Third, the place charges a dollar extra for chicken, and they use chicken thigh dark meat, sparingly as well? What restaurant these days uses chicken thigh? Even the cheapest Chinese takeout uses chicken breast. The pad thai was NOT pad thai. It tasted nowhere close to it. Horrible dish. Fail.
So the place can redeem themselves with the 2 roll lunch special right? Wrong.
One "roll" was 6 pieces of maki sushi which is a roll with a single ingredient and rolled into the size of an index finger. Fail.
The other roll which was eel was about half the size of an identical roll at any other sushi place. There were 8 pieces of the eel roll but at this place's laughably small size, those 8 pieces probably equate to half the quantity of a typical roll anywhere else. Fail.
If you want sushi, you're better off going to the AYCE sushi over on Ogden in Westmont.
I will never go back to Wild Ginger. I offer my warning to others to stay away from this overpriced joke of a restaurant.
