Ginger Thai Restaurant — Restaurant in Martinez

Theres a reason this place has an almost perfect 5 stars. I am actually really happy that I came here. I was hungry in between jobs at work and stopped in for a quick bite. It was pretty busy, so I felt bad (I try to avoid making the work load to heavy on restaurants and stuff like that out of courtesy for the staff), but despite how heavy the traffic was on a Friday night they handled the order with ease, and I got my stuff relatively quickly. As for the food itself.... holy crows. The flavor is wholesome, and actually tastes fresh, and as though it was crafted with care. Their curry recipes are divine. That is literally the only word that could come to mind. At some restaurants they will try to stretch certain things (like curry) and add a bunch of extra this and that into it, ultimately leading to it being too soupy or almost flavorless. This is not that type of restaurant, and I appreciate their respect for the customer in that regard.

The hospitality is great, the woman that handled my order was handling many different tables at once, and still managed to engage one-on-one with me without appearing flustered and even nailed my sort of complicated order without any mistakes. Very kind too.

The restaurant itself is cute, seems like a very clean eatery. Simple, mellow design (The pictures of the food on the walls is a little tacky, but that doesn't at all effect my score or opinion of the restaurant).

Overall the food was so good I felt compelled to stop eating, and write a review as another way of saying thank you to the hard working people here.

Thank...

Now walking into this establishment I had high hopes .. the smells were extremely deceiving. I was not greeted upon entering, I was simply stared at. I told the lady I was there for pick up … now before I could even reach my doorstep , the Tom yum soup I ordered was spilled into the bag despite it originally being enclosed in a container. They did no check on the lid. After I poured said soup into a bowl (from the bag it spilled into) I questioned was this even Tom yum soup, because it was just THAT bad. Now I’ve had Tom yum continually for the past 5 years and have a great sense of what it should taste like and cost and even in the expensive city of San Francisco , it has never surpassed $15. With that being said , to have paid $18 plus $2 extra for bamboo shoots (which ended up being a WHOLE can dumped in the soup :/ ) for this excuse of a soup was extremely disappointing. Also, The sticky rice was overcooked… Overall , I will never return here . Bad customer service , terrible food quality and unreasonable pricing is what one...

First time visit because reviews looked awesome and was craving Thai food. Arrived for dinner last night around 7:50 PM. No customers were dining in. No staff present to greet us. We grabbed menus sat ourselves then we were greeted about 7mins later with “dining in?” No apology, nothing… they close at 9pm by 8:30pm they were turning off lights, sweeping, mopping, and we pretty much got the hint that they were trying to leave and close early. Tried to order dessert, but sticky rice w/mango they said mango was not sweet. At the end of meal, I wanted to use the restroom It was 843pm I was told I could not because they had mopped and the floors were wet back there. So we’re basically getting pushed out out of the restaurant before they closed. Unprofessional. Food was delicious, but the hospitality was not there at all And we felt very rushed. Upset that I left a tip, shouldn’t have...
