Wild Ginger Thai Cuisine — Restaurant in Norwell

Dinner here on Wednesday 14 June 2023 about 6pm. Myself and two friends. For me tofu fresh rolls, and mango curry with veggies Thai hot. One companion got pad Thai with chicken. The other got pad Thai shrimp. We cannot say any thing bad or disparaging about the flavor of the food, it was very good we all agreed and they even spiced my curry Thai hot as requested. Where the disconnect comes in is with service the waitress was not warm nor was she friendly. Honestly seemed like she would rather be some where else or like being a waitress was not what she wants to do. idk . I hope she finds some happiness.

The second disconnect arrived with the portions of food we were served. Both of my friends said the same thing. Look at how small the amount of food is....they both said it looks more like lunch portions then dinner. And to pay $18 for the shrimp pad Thai and $16 for the chicken pad Thai. My curry portion was average... I had requested no bell peppers and it came out loaded with bell peppers. Not the end of the world; what salvaged my meal was it tasted good and it was spiced correctly. Also for $10 the tofu salad rolls are cut up into tiny pieces and it just seemed to me that for $10 their should have been more to them. Although I did really like the dipping sauce. They used some thing different then most Thai restaurants it's like a hosin sauce.for me its a welcome change from the heavy peanut sauce. Over all we loved the food but feel like we paid way too much for the small portions we were served. And service made us feel unwelcome .

Update myself and the same two friends gave this place another chance we all agreed the food was delicious, I got pad thai with tofu and veggies and papaya salad without shrimp, my one friend got pad thai chicken, the other friend got pad Thai shrimp. We also all agreed the portions are exceedingly small, it bearly put a dent in our hunger pangs. The final thing that shocked all of us the total bill was $71. It's sad because we all really enjoyed our meal. It hurt paying the bill because we were all...

If you’re reading this and looking for Asian cuisine read no further, just go to Wild Ginger and eat!

I see you are still reading and need more convincing. Fine, be that way.

We made reservations and dined in. They were good at keeping things Covid friendly.

The restaurant was clean, modestly decorated and easy to find. The staff here was very friendly and attentive when we visited. The prices were decent for and dine in experience. Just over $22 per person with appetizers, nonalcoholic drinks and entrees.

The food was fantastic! As vegetarians it’s always a relief to find a place with a few options, we were overwhelmed with our choices. While that’s enough to keep me happy, the quality of the food was great as well. Presentation was very good for the price as well.

The menu is marked with a 3 chili pepper scale for hotness. 2 chili peppers was enough to slow my son down, and he loves hot food.

Enjoy...

Updating once more: the quality of the Pad Thai has increased again since my updated review so I'm adding back a star but I'm still disappointed they don't offer a more affordable version without meat.

Updated review: unfortunately, I have to change my 5 star review to a 3 star review. The pad Thai used to be incredible but the quality/flavor decreased significantly while the price went from $11 to $17. Had the quality remained the same I could've justified the price a splurge on occasion but it's not like it used to be. I wish that weren't the case, I miss the delicious old recipe.

Take out service is super quick. Love the gyoza, crab rangoons, chicken fingers, Thai rolls, and especially the Pad Thai. They have a bunch of...
