Worth the price. Blue ginger is a must for special occasions, it is on the expensive side but you will not be dissapointed!
Great food! Great dinner experience!.
My husband and I had an excellent night at Blue Ginger last night. We have been there a few times now, and the food is always amazing. We have tried a different appetizer/entree each time and have
loved every one of them. You can't make a wrong choice with the food here. Everything is great! I highly recommend the "Foie Gras-Shiitake Shumai in Sauternes-Shallot Broth". This is one of the best things I have ever tasted.
The service was also excellent last night. The full staff was very friendly and engaging and just made for a wonderful experience.
One of the things that impressed me the most was Chef Ming Tsai's personal interest in making sure every single one of his customers has a great experience. You can see Chef Tsai walking around the restaurant, visiting tables and talking with guests, and just making sure all of his customers are having a good time. He even brought out our entrees and we had a chance to talk with him personally.
I highly recommend Blue Ginger for its food and for the dinner experience. After last night Blue Ginger has made it onto my short list of favorite restaurants in the Boston area. I definitely plan on visiting again and often.…
Great food with attitude. I have been to Blue Ginger on many occasions and prefer lunch to dinner for value. It is always crowded and the wait can be forever. The staff does have an attitude of sorts that I attribute to the "line at the door" factor, i.e. you do not have to be solicitous and charming if there is a line outside the door. Given Ming Tsai's fame, the restaurant suffers from this Rock Star problem. Of course, his famous butterfish dish is superb but I have had many of the entrées and found them all delicious if a bit slow to be served. If anything, I sometimes feel like I should be rushing my meal because someone is waitingfor my table.…
not worth the attitude. wanted to share my ultra-disapointing experience on the heels of several recent reviews that also describe a decent meal spoiled by arrogant attitude of the restaurant staff. Dined here last a couple of years ago with my parents and 2 very-well behaved teenage boys. right away we got attitude from the staff - first they iognored us, taking 30 minutes before taking our order, then when we inquired about our entrees after another 30 minute wait after appetizers, were quickly rebuked by the manager who said, "sorry -most our diners don't bring children and prefer to take their time enjoying the dining experience here" baarf! our kids could have taught the snooty manager a thing or two about basic courtesy...Ming needs to get a clue as to how his showcase is presenting an attitude that won't stand the test of time as chefs who appreciate their customers will whiz by him (as is alreayd happening) - wake up ming and smell the mustard…
Wouldn't recommend Blue Ginger.
The dish was Scallops in a Polynesian sauce with mixed vegetables. The sauce reminded me of a less-tasty version of French's Mustard. Thank god the portion was small so that I could choke it down
with water and not alert my dinner host (who had been looking forward to coming here). If I hadn't been an invited guest, I would have sent the meal back. if I had cooked this at home, I would have thrown it in the trash.
I contacted Blue Ginger General Manager the next day and asked if the chef may have made an error while preparing the dish. She brusquely put me off and said: "how can you compare our food to something as pedestrian as French's Mustard?"
If this restaurant were a pop song, it would have parenthetical titles next to its name: Blue Ginger (The Emporer's New Clothes).…
