I'm vegetarian and my boyfriend is not. He HATES vegetarian restaurants and goes crazy if I suggest them. BUT, he LOVES Wild Ginger. I don't think he's even noticed that it's full-on vegan. The menu is long and he loves the soy protein and seitan dishes and the spring rolls. They also deliver quick.

Great place, great food, great service, great price.

I go nearly every Friday and look forward to it (FYI - I do pick up take-out). The service is always great, the food is the best veg in Brooklyn, and the prices are below the average Smith St. tab. If Brooklyn vegetarians (or “flexetarians) want food of this caliber to be available and convenient, then we must patronize Wild Ginger. I recommend it to herbivores and carnivores because the food is so good. Try the Fisherman’s Platter and Mai Fun noodles, trust me, you’ll be happy you did.

It's a shame that Wild Ginger is on Smith street, a.k.a. restaurant row, and not many people seem to go in there. Maybe it's because of its advertising itself as a vegan cafe, which does tend to turn carnivores and omnivores off. Anyway, the lack of traffic there on a Saturday night made for a bit of an awkward atmosphere. The service was so-so. Our waitress was very nice, and very cool, but the rest of the staff generally gave off the 'don't bother me, I hate this job' vibe. The food was great, and came very quickly. It was the first hot night of the year, and probably still about 80 degrees at sunset, so the temperature of the place wasn't too great. I had the assorted steamed vegetables, which were great with the brown sauce. I'm pretty health-conscious, a vegetarian, and like simpler food, so this was perfect. My mother had the Malaysian curry stew, which she said was great, my father highly recommended the mu-shu vegetables, and my cousin enjoyed her sauteed tofu and vegetables. It was all pretty standard pan-Asian food, and the menu is really flexible for all diets and food regimes. The look of the place was very cool, zen, and hip. Kind of loud, obnoxious music right over us, but despite a few minor things, I recommend.

I think that it happens in any of their restaurants. Usually I'm pretty happy with the food, but disappointed by their service.

I have been to the others Wild Gingers in NY and this one is most likely any other of them, the food is always great, though I didn't like the service here I will definitely come back - for the food.
