    Wild Ginger is my favorite pan-Asian restaraunt in Cincinnati. The service is attentive and the food is delicious. I've had a variety of the sushi a couple of curries as well as the stir-fry. The portions are generous so there is usually enough for another meal or to share. I highly recommend Wild Ginger.

    I've heard a lot about Wild Ginger so I decided it was finally time to check it out. It looks more upscale inside than your average Asian restaurant. I had the miso soup, salad and a Dragon roll. It was all delicious and my server was very nice.

    I would go back again with a friend.

    I went here over the weekend with a party of 6 with no reservation and was seated right away, no problems.  The service was wonderful, attentive, and super fast.

    I ordered the Firecracker at a level 8.  It had a really nice selection of fresh veggies and the tofu I ordered was perfectly cooked.  My only complaint was that it wasn't spicy enough, but they do have hot sauce.

    This is a great place for vegetarians.  I can't wait to go back!

    Park on their private lot. Walk along the side of the restaurant...you can smell it. The sizzle. You know you're in for something good. And it is. Delicious food. Generous glasses of plum wine. Absolutely delicious!

    This place has the best Thai curry that I've found in Cincinnati -- and I've tried a lot of Cincy Thai restaurants!  Like most Cincinnati Thai restaurants, they have odd ingredients like broccoli and too-sweet carrots in their curry, but once you have them take those out, the curry is very reminiscent of what I used to get back in NYC.  If they could match NYC flavor, I'd give them 5 stars.

    I also think they have some of the best specialty roll sushi in Cincinnati as well.  With great sushi and curry, Wild Ginger has become one of my top 3 go-to takeout places.

    DE-BA-CLE
    So, last Saturday, I had a friend in town that wanted to eat at Wild Ginger. I hadn't been since fall 2011, and thought that it was time to go back. My trip in the fall was great. My trip in May, not so much.
    We called at 7:30 and requested seats at the hibachi table, they have us a reservation for 5 at 8:45. So we waited until 8:45, but when we got there, there was a large group taking up both hibachi tables. We were told that it would be 30 minutes if we wanted to wait or we could have a 20% discount if we sat at a regular table. Reluctantly, we took the table with the 20% discount. (Why, did they give us the 8:45 reservation if they had such a large reservation for a birthday party? It is insulting.)
    From there the experience only got worse. It took nearly two hours to to get out of the restaurant, with 30-40 minutes to get and pay our checks. Our service could not have been worse if our server had been trying to ruin our evening.
    I ordered a Wild Ginger Roll, a yellow tail roll and shrimp tempura. My Wild Ginger roll had the chewiest scallops I have ever eaten, and my shrimp tempura was like fried shrimp from the Golden Corral.
    Lastly, the restaurant offers a 10% discount for cash, which seems like a disreputable business practice. If it comes in with no paper trail there is no need to pay taxes, wink wink. Fine, 10% discount, we all decided to pay in cash, partially for the 10%, partially because we weren't planning to leave a tip and didn't want to have to call Amex the next day if a tip got added. Surprise, no 10% discount, 2 hours of our lives, and chewy seafood.
    Worst Thai experience ever, and I've eaten at Lotus of Siam.

    This is one of my favorite places in Cinci for sushi! Generous rolls in a wide variety! Unfortunately they do not offer half price nights like many other local establishments, I do not mind paying full price for this sushi!
    Meals are also good, but have not had many of them as I always tend to lean towards the sushi.

    I had high hopes for this place, but was a bit disappointed in their sushi. I haven't tried their hibachi, but I can imagine that hibachi is their feature. I got a sashimi plate and it came with egg... I'm no sushi connoisseur, and I don't know the actual definition of sashimi, but when I order sashimi, I prefer fish... not an omelet. That being said, the fish was good.... good enough for 3 stars.
    The sake was good... but I have yet to go to a restaurant where I thought the sake was 'bad'. I also had the crab rangoon... good but I've had better... Same with service.. good but I've had better.
    The was nothing blatantly wrong with this place, but I can't say its on my list of places I'd like to try again.
    HOWEVER, they do offer half price sushi for lunch Wed.-Sunday.... so maybe its a better lunch than dinner place.

    When I rate a restaurant where I've ordered sashimi, the rating weighs heavily on the quality of the fish. I ordered the Sashimi Deluxe and was not disappointed.

    I'd give Wild Ginger five stars if it weren't for one thing. The menu says Sashimi Deluxe comes with 18 pieces of sashimi. In my book, imitation crab and egg do NOT count as sashimi. So reduce the number of actual pieces of fish to 14. But hey, I just counted what was on my plate (thank goodness I took a picture!). Fourteen actual pieces of fish, two pieces of shrimp, two pieces of fake crab and 2 egg, that's 20! Still, it was NOT 18 pieces of fish and it should have been.

    Okay, now on to the good stuff. The sashimi was amazing! It melted in my mouth and I am guilty of making yummy sounds all through lunch. I always save my favorite for the last piece, but today it was impossible to choose. Seriously, each piece was as tasty and velvety as the next. It didn't matter which I saved for last. I'm not sure that has ever happened before!

    The miso soup was fine. The Wild Ginger roll, with fried scallops and cucumber topped with crab, salmon and honey wasabi was simply delicious.

    A nice, plentiful serving of plum wine topped it off.

    Service was pleasant and quick! We will definitely be back!

    We enjoyed our dinner at Wild Ginger. The service has a high class, Hyde Park-y feel to it with a formal, distant friendliness. They were attentive without being obtrusive, and it really couldn't have been better. I'm not saying I expect or want that style of service everywhere I go, but it felt very appropriate here.

    The menu has great variety. I'm told the sushi is excellent, I may try that next time, but I love Thai cuisine and there were so many intriguing choices on the menu, I had to go for one of those. I opted for the 7 flavors stir fry (or something like that) as it was hot and featured Hoison Sauce. It was fine - fresh ingredients, a relatively flavorful sauce, though I wish they'd add some corn starch, it was too runny to scoop up and pour over the rice,  and a generous portion. And whatever you order, get the brown rice instead of white. It had more flavor and a very pleasant sticky yet crisp texture.

    The food prices are right in line with the cuisine, the area and the atmosphere, but the bump on alcohol was a little much, more than 3x store prices (ex $28 a bottle for Chateau St Michelle Riesling vs 8.99 in all the stores). But hey, no one was holding a gun to our heads to drink.

    Had one of the worst tofu pad Thai that I've ever had.  Greasy and tasteless.  They were nice enough to give me another dish and didn't charge me for the dish which is why I might consider giving them one more shot

    I've been to Wild Ginger a few times now and I have to say it is one of the best sushi/hibachi restaurants in Cincinnati. The Hibachi side is fun, the chefs are always lively, and it's great for special occasions with friends. The sushi/thai menu is creative and delicious and perfect for date night.
    My husband and I went there on a Friday night - we called ahead and had no wait so it started out right.  We had their signature Hee-ma and sushi bomb rolls and the budda delight;  the yellow curry was friggin amazing. I'm not a huge curry lover but it had the perfect mix of curry and coconut milk and spice - the veggies were fresh and cooked to perfection - aka not mushy and not raw ;)  The rolls are huge and full of fish so even though I can go down the street to Dancing Wasabi for half price rolls, I'd rather pay full price for full sushi. The rolls were $14 a piece so not too bad in price anyways.  I agree with other reviews that overall price might be on the high side for portion size, however, it's great service, good atmosphere, and better than food than most of their competitors in my humble opinion. :)

    Good sushi is hard to find, y'all. And it's even worse if you're a cheapskate sushi snob like yours truly, which pretty much doesn't make sense the more I think about it (I have my reasons). The good thing is, Wild Ginger is one of my favorite spots north of the river for quality sushi and excellent Vietnamese/Thai food, and it's well worth the frequent wait, though maybe not more than 30 minutes or so.

    I remember back in the good ole days before they expanded and added hibachi grills, which are my least favorite feature of any given Asian restaurant these days. I told you: I'm a snob. If you go to Wild Ginger and get fried rice, you're sorely missing out. The sushi is fresh and well-made, and even on busy nights never seems to get too backed up. We went with a large party one evening and ordered several boats of rolls cooked and raw, all of them came out all at once in beautiful sync.

    The pad thai is also quite good, and the Pho is rocking. I'm still amazed that pho is such a tough dish to find in this city. Seems like only a few places do it, and fewer still do it well--and Wild Ginger is one of them. For our veg friends, Wild GInger has a great array of vegetarian appetizers and dishes available, so they don't have to resort to just salads and side dishes.

    Service has always been excellent every time I've been, which I'm discovering is more and more of a rarity just about everywhere. Price is a little above my usual range, but the sushi is quality enough to let that slide. I'd avoid the hibachi and stick with one of their charming little table and chairs sets, but it can get a little overly cozy on a packed evening. If you have personal space issues or a big booty (again, like yours truly), be forewarned.

    Wild Ginger was one of the very first Asian places I got to try in Cincinnati, and it's still one of my favorites. I've never had a bad meal there, and it's such a warm, inviting place to get together with friends and enjoy a really delicious, quality meal together. I've found a closer spot to get my immediate sushi fix, but for special occasions, Wild Ginger is a great place to go.

    most disgusting lunch ever! I sent food back and it took forever to get it back. The manager was rude, making excuses for why it came the way it came without any apologies. When I got it back it was so disgusting that I could not even stomach eating it. Nobody checked back us to see if it was even okay! I didn't eat it at all! They came by  and took my plate and charged me for food I wouldn't feed my dog! DISGUSTING!!! I will never eat here again!!! They don't even deserve the one star I gave them!!! Save yourself the disaster by picking another place to eat!!!

    One thai-worthy night, we came here for dinner. Wild Ginger is more of an Asian Fusion restaurant than traditional, and if you know that going in, you'll have an awesome meal.

    The menu had several specialty cocktails. To start, we had a mango mojito, a cucumber basil martini, and fried tofu. Both drinks were heavy on the liquor. My mojito was refreshing, but the pulpy mango at the bottom made it difficult to drink. Perhaps strain it next time?

    As we endugled in the fried tofu, we had some questions about ingredients on the menu. When asking about a specific word, unsure if this was a kind of veggie or seasoning, the server looked completely baffled and had no idea. After running back to the kitchen, he still wasn't sure. This was a bit unsettling. We also asked if the stir fry was cooked with meat stock or vegetable stock. The server responded: "Fish stock, so it's vegetarian." Er... right.

    The food arrived in massive portions. We had mango curry with fried tofu and steamed rice, and the Spicy Pad Char. Everything was devoured. I even ended up taking home half of my mango curry, which made for a full meal the next day.

    The portion sizes are definitely worth the quality and price. While the server lacked knowledge about the food, he was very friendly and kept track of the time when we mentioned we had an event to go to after dinner. With a large menu, lots of specialty items, and a clean, posh atmosphere I'll definitely be back to Wild Ginger.

    Price per person: $20.00

    I have been here often and I feel like the quality has declined over the years.

    Pros:
    1) Pretty decent service
    2) Nice atmosphere
    3) Delicious Red Curry

    Cons:
    1) I think its over-priced for the quality of the food
    2) The hibachi chicken we had was still slightly pink in the center

    Considering all of the options for thai in the area, this place is at best... average

    I have never eaten so much sushi in my life.  

    I am far from being a sushi/sashimi connoisseur, but I have tried several of the places around my area (Hampton Roads, VA)...this was by far the best I've had.  

    I have never even been tempted to try sashimi based on my sushi experience, but that changed at Wild Ginger.  I was floored.  (Try the Yellowtail)

    We had the Hee Ma, Volcano, Tuna Indy, Tony's, and the King of the Ocean rolls.  The Hee Ma was the favorite, but all were better than the best I'd tried to date.  (this is not an exaggeration, and is probably more than a little sad).

    I will return next time I'm in town.

    Service is pretty good here, and if you stay away from the teppanyaki, I think you'll be rather satisfied.

    I ordered the duck and fried rice here several times and have been pleased. Like other reviews said, their food is not spicy, and what would be considered a 3/10 in other restaurants would be rated about an 8/10 at Wild Ginger.

    One time, a group of friends decided to try the half-off teppanyaki lunch special, and it was very underwhelming. Our chef needs to go back to teppanyaki school because he shot a Chris Bosh-like 1/16 when trying to fling little bits of food into our mouths, and he broke so many eggs that he had to use pick out the shells out of one to make our fried rice. What's even more unappetizing is that you see how much butter and soy sauce goes into your food, and you begin to wonder how something with so much salt and grease can still taste that bad.

    I have to admit that I'm not a big fan of teppanyaki in the first place. So if you are, then you still might like this place. But don't get the shrimp because only get 3-4 pieces.

    You know, I'm really not a sushi snob.  I love a good spider roll, crunchy roll, the crazier the better!  It's just that I have yet to find a great sushi place in Cincinnati.

    My brother-in-law and I went here because he'd heard it had the best sushi in town.  Great waitress, good drinks.  We ordered so much sushi and sashimi they brought out the boat for the two of us (whoops... guess we were hungry!).  And it was....fine.  The fish seemed to be of good quality, the sauces were fine, it was rolled well. Just not as great as my beloved Shiki Sushi in Durham, NC.

    The ice cream dessert was super fun, though.  Little ice cream balls (green tea, mango and red bean) covered in mochi, I think.  Make sure to save room for them!

    Thai restaurant that tries to integrate a little Japanese and Chinese into its menu. Wait...no. It has a full-on teppanyaki bar ready for the consumer. I've been here a few times so what I say is not just biased one or two occasions.

    First of all, the Thai food. If you want your Thai food to be super sweet than by all means come here. Spice is not something they've heard of because ordering a 7 means nothing. Taste-wise, nothing special, not the best, not the worst.

    What gives it the low rating is their teppanyaki bar. I don't know if it's just lunch time that is bad but the chef was not very good at all. Maybe it was a one time thing and he was new so I'll let that slide. When the food was served, that's when you knew something was up. The fried rice was full of butter and oil to the point where I don't know whether you should eat it or get a paper towel and let it soak first. A friend ordered chicken that was not close to being cooked through. Another friend ordered a shrimp meal, which consisted of 7 tiny shriveled shrimp. Luckily, I ordered a half-half meal of chicken and shrimp and received an order of undercooked chicken and 3.5 shrimp (yes, the chef actually cut 1 shrimp in half and gave the other half to the other half order).

    If you want Thai food, there are too many options even in a mile radius to be coming here. I'd suggest Green Papaya.

    We've had a few good dates here. The first time we were totally decked out, so they made sure to give us a front table at the front window. They're smart enough to know that the eye candy will draw in a crowd.

    I get stir-fry and rice, the food is good but nothing special. The atmosphere is quite nice though, and the staff is always very friendly. They're also located right behind a 24-hour Busken Bakery that once saved me from a 3am bagel craving. I should go write a review for them right now.

    The sushi was great, very fresh and delicious and I loved the presentation. The service was good.

    The wine list was short and too expensive. The $28 bottle we had was $8.99 at Kroger.

    The ambiance is very casual and family oriented. I would not recommend this restaurant for a romantic dinner.

    I have been driving by this place for quite some time and have wanted to try it, especially with the recommendation of a fellow yelper!  

    The friend I went with loves this place (it is one of her favorite sushi places in Cincy)!  I was able to get us reservations for Friday night, surprisingly!  I liked the inside- think upscale asian decor with neat woven fabric seats.  

    We decided we wanted to stick with sushi for the evening, so we ordered edamame as our appetizer, and split three rolls.  Oh man- it was so much food!  We ordered two specialty rolls and one "regular" roll.  The two specialty rolls we ordered were the King Of The Ocean Roll and the Venus Roll.  I especially was a fan of the Venus Roll which has lobster, seaweed salad, shrimp, avocado, and honey wasabi sauce.  Yum!  One of the specialty rolls was much bigger than the other, and the "regular" roll was also pretty big.  It would have been nice if they listed how many pieces were in each roll, so you could better plan how much to get.  

    The sushi did taste very fresh and the edamame wasn't overcooked, which is a pet peeve of mine.  Parking was hard to find- street parking on Edwards is probably just as easy.  It was super packed, and I really enjoyed the sushi.  I would love to go back to try their non-sushi options!

    So when I do the Thai/Asian fusion thing, I usually hit up either Bangkok Bistro or Green Papaya, but this time I decide to try Wild Ginger because I wanted to see how it looked after the renovation.  

    I had crispy pad thai beef - spice level 7.  My wife had cashew nut chicken - spice level 1 (basically none).  

    Crispy pad thai.  Meh.  I've had better.  Much better.  The noodles were not quit crispy and my spice level 7 was barely even spicy.  Actually it was like I asked for the level 1.  Worse than Green Papaya's and Bangkok Bistro's in my opinion.  Actually worse than Blue Elephant as well.  Can't recommend it.

    My wife actually enjoyed her dish.  She liked the flavor of the sauce and the choice of vegetables that came with it.

    Service was very attentive (almost too much) and we were pleased with it.  

    Probably won't be going back at least for a while with other more enjoyable choices in the area.

    I travel a lot to Cincy for business and I take my clients out to lunch/dinner. So I figured since I was in the HP area lets try this Sushi place with a group of 4 people. We got seated and was ready to order some Sushi, but our "very-low talker" server told use they don't have any today. All of us had this WTF look, he was terrible and didn't know anything else about the menu, plus it was so damn hard to hear what he was trying to say.

    So the only thing available was Chinese food, but was really wanting sushi instead. Anyways, we should have known that any place that serves Chinese and Japanese food together can't do anything well. The food was terrible, we order a 5 level hot and it was inconsistent, the noodles are watery and overcooked.

    Never again, the Elephant and Green Papaya is the best choice.

    Went out to Wild Ginger expecting pretty much what I got.  I only tried the sushi and sashimi so I can't speak for the habachi grill.  The sushi and sashimi were both good, a little more pricy than some places around town and not any better from what I can tell.  But the setting was nice, a good date atmosphere.  The boat they brought the sushi out in was very pretty and made the table next to me jealous.

    Parking lot is kind of difficult to navigate, it's a little cramped, but I was able to find a spot without much trouble.  Service was pretty good although it seemed like the waitress didn't understand that I wanted to change my order so I got soup instead of salad, but that was more funny than it was annoying.  

    The place didn't win me over and make it a new place to frequent, but the food was good.

    Zomg this was the worst "Asian food" I have ever had. EVER!

    Ok so first of all, I always order eggplant when I go to Thai/Chinese/Indian places. I'm not sure why, but I love it with all my heart. Understandably, these different types of cuisines will offer eggplant prepared and flavored in different ways. I never mind and it's always yummy.

    Well, at Wild Ginger, it is not. I ordered a simple eggplant and other random veggie stir-fry, and 1) the sauce was too liquidy (probably could have been fixed with some cornstarch); 2) the eggplant was rubbery and watery with no flavor. This is a rookie eggplant-cooking mistake -- one that I made all the time when I was first learning to prepare it at home. But at a restaurant I would expect better.

    Finally, to help support my case :), I was dining with a group of mostly Asians. They ordered things like other stir-frys, pho, and sushi, and were also quite disappointed. I've noticed that a lot of prior reviewers liked this place a lot, I'm just not sure why. I guess my review would most benefit those who have sampled all types of Asian food and know what "authentic" tastes like.

    This place rocks for sashimi! The chirashi is a steal for large, fresh, chunks of fish including tuna, salmon, hamachi, roe and my personal fave, super white fish or escolar. It's a milky white color, with a rich creamy flavor that melts on your tongue. They recently stopped offering chirashi on their dinner menu but I think it is still available for lunch.

    For dinner recently, we both had the sashimi. It was delicious and fresh, a beautiful assortment of fish garnished with daikon and mint leaves. I'm hailing from San Francisco, DC and Chicago, and this is one of my favorite sashimi restaurants ever! It's a great value for the price, the fish is generous and fresh, the ambiance is pleasant and soothing, and the service solid.  I can't say much for their Thai entrees because I'm so in love with the sashimi, I hardly ever order anything else on the menu!

    When the menu includes all styles of east Asian cuisine it usually means that everything is very mediocre, if not just bad.  This is the case at Wild Ginger.  And to make things worse, all that food inventory means higher prices.  Not worth it at all.  Tables are cramped and apparently they have teppanyaki in the back.  Sensory overload.

    I had a Salmon California Roll which was not only overpriced, but also pretty bad.  Over half of the pieces had gristle/connective tissues.  That irks me big time!  The prices of the sushi rolls were definitely more expensive than comparable restaurants.

    The Pad Thai was also pretty lame.  The tofu tasted stale.  I'm not sure how they accomplished that.

    There's just too much competition in the area to go back to Wild Ginger.  It'd be great if they refocused on one style of food instead of doing everything poorly.

    rediculously overrated.  Service sucked and the food wasn't anything to write home about.  In fact, I wouldn't even waste a text message on telling anyone about Wild Ginger.

    Remember: just cuz it looks nice and upscale doesn't mean it is.  You can shine a turd all day, it's still a turd.

    The decor is green, upscale, and calming. There is a nice garden patio with seating out back. The bar is very nice, and they have a good selection of liquor on display.

    The service was good but not great. However, I will freely admit we showed up about 45 minutes before closing.

    The sushi was made well and you get a generous portion of wasabi. I don't like to have to ask for more. I will note though that the vegetarian options are limited and the prices may be a tad bit on the high side.

    I was very happy with my dish, though it was a touch more sweet than I generally like. I was impressed that they made it to the spice level I requested. Most places do not serve their food spicy no matter what level you ask for.

    They have a respectable selection of sake for most people, but I would like to see more. I have yet to find a place in Cincinnati with a truly great selection of sake, but I am working on it.

    I was torn in writing this review.  1 star for the service, 4 stars for the food.  That's how we end up with a 2.
    While the Red Roll is to die for, the service makes me wanna die.  Previously a frequent visitor to Wild Ginger, my last visit was my last ever as I was accosted by a patron for taking up a table for too long.  He apparently was told by the waitress his wait in line was my fault?!?!  When I asked the waitress, was told not to worry about him because he "didn't tip very well".  (Please keep in mind this was a Tuesday night, not a weekend and I wasn't at the table for an excessive amount of time).  When the manager was brought over and I explained my frustration in the situation, no apology was offered and my companion and I left with our tales between our legs never to set foot at Wild Ginger again.

    Good selection of Asian food (Vietnamese, Chinese, and Japanese) that is well prepared ... nice decor.  Noticed it also had hibachi grill tables.

    Little pricey for what you get compared to some other local establishments, but the quality is worth it for some items on the menu.

    It costs so much, but
    IT'S.SO.GOOD.

    I've never tried the hibachi grill (which is new), so I was surprised to read the previous post about a bad experience with that.  Stick to the front section.  The sushi is worth every penny.  We usually get green curry w/ tofu - yum.  I've also tried the pineapple fried rice - really really good.

    Too expensive - the food is good but I'd rather have RuThai's. You pay a few bucks more for a prettier place to eat...

    They also didn't have the coconut creme brulee which was still on the menu but they don't have it anymore I guess.

    Been there 4 or 5 times.  Sushi is good as is Pad Thai.  Wine selection mediocre. Tables are pretty close together, but overall food is worth the trip, price is reasonable.  
    FYI takeout was disappointing, I'm not sure it came from the same place, I ordered calameri and got 6 or 7 small pieces.  Therefore would recommend eatin

    Wild Ginger is right around the corner from me, and it has quickly become a staple in my Cincinnati dining.  I've been here numerous times, both eating in and getting take-out, and I've yet to be disappointed.  

    We always start out with different types of sushi for appetizers; they have real sushi chefs who prepare the sushi on site and it's always fresh, not too fishy for those who don't like a fishy taste.  My favorite is their noodles, although I can honestly say I've yet to try anything that I didn't really enjoy here.  They also ask you how spicy you'd like them to prepare your dish, so you can personalize your meal exactly how you'd like it.  Wild Ginger is currently expanding at its current location but they are still open (thank goodness!) and I highly recommend it.

    Traditionally, I'm not a fan of Thai food.  So when my roommate suggested we check out Wild Ginger for dinner a few weeks ago, I was pessimistic.  She assured me that Wild Ginger had offerings on the menu that weren't strictly Thai (Vietnamese, Chinese, and Japanese, to be exact) so I agreed to go along and try it out.

    Our meal started off well, we ordered the Edamame and received a lightly salted generous portion of the soy beans.  We also ordered the chicken lettuce wraps, which I think have since been removed from the menu.  Don't worry, you aren't missing anything, PF Chang's simple version is tastier than Wild Ginger's old dish anyways.

    I ordered the Steamed Sea Bass, which was light but I found it was overpowered by the ginger sauce that came with it.  My roommate said her Pad Thai was some of the best she'd ever eaten, and she's a Denver, Colorado born self-proclaimed Pad Thai connoisseur.  She ordered a level "six" on the dish and said her meal had the perfect heat, but I was blown away by the spice when I sampled it, talk about fiery!  

    I wanted to sample Wild Ginger's sushi so I ordered a California Roll after my entre had been cleared.  I was pleased with the freshness of the roll and I didn't even need to dunk it in soy to enjoy (my usual method, I'm not very refined).  

    For the amount of food we received our meal price was very reasonable, my bass was less than $15 and our huge bowl of Edamame was $4.  We had to wait to get a table on a Wednesday evening; this place is a favorite of locals.  The restaurant is very small; too, we had to wait outdoors on the sidewalk.  Parking can also be an issue, we got a street spot right out in front but saw diners parking in the Aveda School's lot across the street.  Wear whatever you want to Wild Ginger; we saw everything from jeans to business attire.
