Vegan Ginger Root — Restaurant in New York

Purchased their voucher on restaurant dot com website. Called to ask if we needed to make a reservation to redeem the voucher--the person answering the phone said yes, we indeed needed a reservation to redeem the voucher. We made a reservation and showed up at our appointed time. We arrived and was casually greeted by a server who instructed us to sit anywhere--the restaurant was EMPTY--as in all tables were available! We asked the server why did we need a reservation to redeem their voucher if the restaurant was empty and he told us that they do not accept vouchers from restaurant dot com and that the person answering their phone was not made aware of this! The server told us that it was a big mistake with that vendor and that they did NOT sign their restaurant up to participate in their voucher promotion program and that their restaurant was the victim of some sort of scam with the voucher program. The server asked us if we still wanted to see a menu -- given that thee place was empty during peak dinner hours and their callousness towards us in general we left. After reading reviews on here, it seems we did...

Ginger root is one of our favorite vegan restaurants! It is the most amazing take out and now eating here in person, it is just as impressive! The food came so quickly and with two complimentary miso soups that were delicious. The general tsoi “chicken” is crispy and saucy: a real treat! All the noodle dishes have such an addicting yet light sauce with a variety of mixed veggies, we have such a hard time choosing which to get! Finally, their eggplant string beans dish comes as an extremely generous portion and has such a unique and delicious flavor. These dishes also come with perfectly cooked rice and soy beans. Eating this in person has been delightful as the staff is extremely attentive and continues to try to make your experience the best. We also truly appreciate how reasonable the prices here are for these delicious dishes! We will be coming here for as long as we live in NYC, and highly recommend...

4.5 food to be honest. 3 ambience. It's hard to get any decent photos in here and definitely a hole in the wall. nice wallpaper, not nice having a sever sneeze while not having her mask on. Lots of take out happening. We were the only ones on saturday early night But im vegetarian i have to support . 5/5 stars.

We started the night food wise a little rough. The sashimi looks 100% convincing but is quite liquid-y. If it could rip more easily it would be more passing. Don't recommend.

The pumpkin soup that was included with the bimbimbamp was stellar. The cold noodles with peanut sauce yum 😍😍. The bim bi bamp comes with a not spicy sauce and more of the peanut sauce both on the side. All the ingredients were good, wise it had two more piece of pork for quantity sake. The pork was a bit dry.

Overall 10/10...
