** 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.

    I have been a fan of Wild Ginger since its inception. Unfortunately they had an “off” evening last night and we ended up leaving without dining there. We arrived at 6:25 for our 6:30 reservation, only to wait 25+ minutes without any status updates. We sat and watched customers arrive after we did, and get seated, still without any acknowledgment or reassurance. I rarely bail on a reservation, especially at one of my favorite dining establishments in Seattle, but brokenheartedly we had to leave for greener pastures! We will be back, because this was definitely a “one-off” for such a fine place. We ended up at Davids at Benaroya Hall and definitely a 2-thumbs up there, they were so kind! Sorry you had a rough go, Wild Ginger.

    We had not been to Wild Ginger, which we used to like very much, since the early 2000s. This return was disappointing with bland and unimaginative seasoning, overcooked shrimp, and high prices. None of the three dishes we tried rose above the "just OK" level. For a check total of $102 plus tip, the experience as a whole was not OK. Sad to say, we won't be back.

    We had an early dinner here on NYE, and it was just what we needed before a show at the Paramount. We didn’t want to have any leftovers to cart around, so the family style sharing worked perfectly. The dishes came out hot and delicious, one after another, and our server was truly excellent.

    Sent to the bar upon arrival because one person in our party was not there yet. I hate this practice. Service at bar was slow and unwelcoming. They need to train the bar tender and give him more help— he was overwhelmed. Better to have seated us upon arrival. I was served the worst cocktail I have ever had—a mojito which tasted like some ice water with mint floating on top. I requested and received a refund for this drink. Finally seated right next to the serving and dirty dishes counter. We requested another table and hostess grudgingly seated us elsewhere. Management flutter around trying to make us happy. By that time my happy mood was gone. Lamb and black cod meal quite good—chicken was so so. At these prices with a reservation, I expect more gracious service. I have eaten there before—not sure I will go back.
