Wild Ginger Downtown Seattle - Seattle (WA)

5 /5 Jess Senires: This is one of THE BEST restaurants in Seattle. Not only is the service stellar, their food is out of this world. Thai/Asian fusion truly at its best. The Siam lettuce cups with sea bass are flavor packed with delicate fish and a bit of heat that delight the senses and make you sit up in your seat. We opted to share the sea bass cha ca was incredible. Sea bass is marinated and done to perfection. The herbs and noodles perfectly complement the fish. It has to be one of the best items on the menu. For dessert it was the chocolate mousse. Decadent and not overly rich it was the perfect ending to the meal. There are lots of GF options and the staff is incredibly knowledgeable. Definitely get reservations as this place is packed every time we go.

4 /5 Gerard Lee: K-pop trio dined at this large restaurant at the corner of 3rd Avenue and Union Street. I started with a glass of Nicolas Feiullatte Champagne ($18) while our leader chose a Ginger Martini ($15). The third member was satisfied with water as she doesn’t drink alcohol. We ordered family style: Siam Lettuce Cups ($32), Thai Passion Tofu ($19), Thai Spring Rolls ($12), and Thai Mushroom ($16.50) for starters, and a small order of Fragrant Duck ($26) and Nam’s Lamb Chops ($37) as our mains. Each dish was wonderful … there wasn’t a dish that we didn’t like. My favorites were lamb chops and tofu / eggplant dish. One ordered a Chocolate Mousse ($8.50) for dessert while I had a cup of coffee ($6). We walked out sated and satisfied and headed to Westlake Center to catch the monorail to Seattle Center. This was a great meal at a very reasonable cost, I would definitely return.

3 /5 Andrea Sanders: Went here for a corporate dinner and had a family style meal. It’s a great setting for very large group gatherings as the restaurant is huge. Food was hit or miss given the price point, everyone really liked the Indian butter chicken and fragrant duck (although the duck was lacking in any pickled toppings - it was just duck and a bao style bun). The potstickers and Mongolian noodles and Thai mushroom satay were average good but nothing special. The chickpea cauliflower curry was not very flavorful and the prawns tasted a little rubbery. For drinks, the Thai chili margarita was delicious if you like sweet drinks. The ginger daiquiri was okay - should have been named mango daiquiri as that was the dominant flavor.

5 /5 Christina P: Wild Ginger was an experience for the senses. A beautiful restaurant with exceptional service, and dishes that delight one’s palate. Every dish was exceptional and oh so flavorful! We dined prior to a concert at Benaroya Hall across the street. We felt welcomed, unrushed (our server asked what time our concert started, so thoughtful), and left satiated and happy ready to enjoy our concert. We started with the Thai spring rolls accompanied by crispy lettuce, fresh sprouts, and fragrant cilantro for wrapping. The sweet hot sauce was perfect for dipping. A light and delicious way to start the meal. For our mains we opted for the Northern Style Pork, and the Seabass Cha Ca. The pork was incredibly tender with bites of shoulder and belly in a delicious sauce made with warming spices or mace, cinnamon, cardamom, and pickled garlic. Exceptional! The Seabass caught my eye because of the galangal. Galangal, to me, is like a marriage of lemon grass and ginger…delicious! The sea bass was wok fried perfectly, and so tender that one almost did not need to chew. The fish was accompanied by herbed rice noodles, and was the perfect accompaniment. Our service was incredible with perfectly timed visits, cleared tables, and food timed just right. We were very pleased, and look forward to our next visit.

5 /5 Whitney Moore: We experienced unreasonable hospitality tonight, delivered via David who was so personable, so kind, so educated on the menu and went above and beyond to make our pre-Benaroya night out dinner so charming! We had the lettuce bowls, duck, vegetable pad Thai, hot tea, coffee and Marion Berry ice cream! An exemplary ambassador of Wild Ginger and Seattle hospitality. Thank you, David!
