I first saw Ginger Noodle hatch under Chef David Wong who created the menu & got the restaurant started. But after he left, quality & flavor declined. But now, under Chef José Troncoso, there is a flavor reawakening, a creative renaissance, and a quality leap from B-grade Chinese food to innovative & flavorful Asian and Fusion Cuisine. The General Tsao Chicken, pictured below, started as a budget orange chicken with chiles thrown on; now, the General charges full force with garlic, chile oil, and a scallion bite! My sister fell in love with the fried rice on the first taste (so much so that I believe my niece, who was only 3 weeks along when my sis found the dish, must be 65% Ginger Noodle Fried Rice). I intend to return after Chef José finishes the dessert menu; spoiler, I’ve heard of a Matcha Swiss Roll or Cheesecake, but only time will tell. I can’t wait.
Great foods and you can ask vegetarian foods if you are a vegetarian. Thai Drunken Noodle is my favourite dish. Great manager, Priscilla, great chef, Matthew, Excellent services. Most of the time is busy except Wednesday, but good foods worth the wait. ????????
This place has good food. The only draw back is the time it takes for them to make your food and that its not a restaurant style eatery. You rider food then find a place to sit. They definately need to change it to a regular sit down restaurant and I guarantee business will improve.
