Wild Ginger — Restaurant in New York

I've been coming here since they were on Bedford Avenue. They moved a few blocks away, and their business has dropped off somewhat, which is a terrible shame, because they're a really good place.

This however works out well for us - now you can always get a table, so they're our "go-to" place when everything else is crowded.

It's likely the reason that you're coming here is because you're a vegan and if so, you are in for a real treat. There's a very wide menu, and over the years I've tried pretty well everything. Nothing was bad, which is rare in restaurants - most were very good and a lot of them were excellent.

There have been too many excellent dishes to list, so let's just name our favorites. I love the Singapore Mai Fun - that's a dish I really missed when I stopped eating meat and they do it so well that it's better than the meaty version - moderately spicy, slightly dry noodles, juicy veggies and "fish" slices. My wife's favorite is the Basil Fried Rice - just what you'd hope for, all green and lovely with peas and other treats, and very spicy without being radioactive.

And we both love the peanut butter bomb. Wow. If someone tells you vegan desserts aren't any good, this is the dessert to show them.

100% recommended...

THIS PLACE DESERVES A MUCH BETTER RATING THAN I AM SEEING. I will start there. I lived in NYC on and off for about 10 years (just moved back!) This place is one of the few that comes to mind when I’d be in other parts of the country and think of things “you just can’t find outside NYC.” It’s vegan Chinese and Thai food that is GOOD!! Like when you want the actual experience of Chinese and or Thai dishes, but don’t want to eat meat - this will FULLY give you that. It is an EQUAL experience to eating great, meat-based Chinese/Thai food and genuinely not lesser in any way! It’s truly delicious and filling (and protein-based!) Since I was just in Brooklyn for the first time in a while, I decided to stop by and order something. I ordered the general tso’s vegan chicken dish and it was AMAZING. I had to get on here and write something because this place has a special place in my heart and some recent-ish negative reviews are actually extremely inaccurate and I’m upset about it. Anyway, go here, it is GREAT vegan food, and just great Chinese/Thai food in general. (Oh and leave a review if you can! The negative press that’s bringing their ratings a bit down is actually uncool and inaccurate in their instance and we...

I really wanted to like this place But than I tasted the food For a place that says it's healthy The food was bland and then I felt the oil. I asked what oil they used and they said, vegatable oil ( canola oil). Not a healthy oil and it is used to keep prices down, coconut oil, olive oil, avacado oil are healthy oils.. Canola oil, not healthy. The music was horrible I wanted to turn it off, top forty pop music completely clashes with the vibe. Could someone program something relaxing, traditional, not frequencies that make me just want to leave. The service was slow, I had to ask several times.

If they improved the quality of the ingredients of their food, as well as the music and service it would be a place I would eat.

It's sad but I will never go their again, New York used to be good with good now I've experienced more than my far share of sub par more so with the price points.

I highly encourage the staff to improve the quality of food ( organic cold press oils spend the extra 3 dollars or 10 a bottle)

And the music ( relaxing please)

Than maybe I would try it again, until than may as well eat the vegan food at McDonald's because there is no actual difference except the...
