Ginger Thai — Restaurant in Nashville-Davidson

Menu I read online is not up to date. 25% more expensive than I was expecting. Typical, I should have asked for prices. Togo order with no fork, of course. Thankfully I found a fork in a bag of mine. Once back on the road headed home I realized I did not specify a spice level, and was not asked when ordering. Waiters really don't have many responsibilities. Know the food, answer questions, and ask appropriate questions. At a Thai place "which spice level?" is a very appropriate question. Every time an order is read back to a customer the waiter should ask about spice level. It should be habit. Something you simply don't forget to ask. I haven't eaten Thai in a couple months, and I don't work at a Thai place, so I forgot :/

Remember to specify your spice level if you come by, because the waiter might not bother to ask at all.

Ginger fried rice wasn't too greasy. I'd say it was just about right, considering it had sausage in it. Good flavor actually, and I imagine if it had some spice added it would have been great. Good size portion, two solid meals out of it. Decent price for size and flavor. All and all I wouldn't go out of my way to come to this place. However, it's worth trying out if you're feeling...

I love Thai restaurants generally. This is one of my favorites. The interior is casual but nice. I had house special number 5, a combination of duck, pineapple, eggplant, bell peppers, thai basil, and red coconut curry sauce. It was fantastic. The vegetables were all fresh and not overcooked. The "medium" spice level was not mild. If you want Thai hot, I think you could get it here.

I'm not a big desert eater at home, and especially not while eating out. I was also stuffed. But my intuition told me to try a desert. I'm glad I did. I had the Thai sticky rice with coconut custard. It was delightful. Most deserts seem overly sweet to me. This was not at all. It was kind of savory, but not in a heavy way. It was very much a desert, yet quite unlike most deserts I've had (except for some other really fine custards).

The staff were extremely friendly. There's a deal going where if you buy one entree, you get 50% off a second one. This is pretty remarkable, given the food quality. I would definitely go back here, even though it was not convenient...

My experience was short & disappointing. I made a phone call accidental to the wrong restaurant thinking I had the right place. An hour later after picking up my meal from the restaurant I thought just forgot to make my meal, I got a very angry, passive aggressive call from this woman who mind you was the same woman who took my order. Both times unpleasant. She asked if I was still coming by to pick up my meal. I said “ no, my mother & I have already picked up our meal “ before I could explain the confusion and explain what occurred was a honest mistake. & how in no shape or form what we did was purposely to waste their resources. She rudely said “ next time, you need to let us know If you aren’t coming “ after a minute of listening to her rant I tried to talk and she suddenly hung up the phone in my face. This is about the rudest service over the phone I’ve ever had. I hope she can do better with customer service or she’s going to have a rude awakening. Not all customers are going to take...
