Red Ginger

First, the food was picked up so it was fresh and tasty overall. It was my first time eating at Red Ginger, so I was a bit taken aback by the restaurant itself, as it could use a bit of updating and a fresh coat of paint. But, looking past that and acknowledging that it appeared clean...I ordered the following. Chicken with black bean sauce extra spicy, Crispy Pan Noodles with Chicken and veg, 2 regular egg rolls, wonton soup and hot and sour soup. The customer service was excellent and as I said the food was delicious overall. Now, the big question, will I return? To be honest I do not know🤔 If the following things change I would...1.) Add some other vegetables to the egg rolls other than cabbage and a few onions. I know that they also have a "Special egg roll" on the menu but would a few carrot shreds and a bit of green from cilantro cause a major cash loss? 2.) Five Spice Powder is a fickle mistress. Add too much and she will overpower the dish, add to little and that authentic Asian flavor we know and love will seem lost. What is interesting about this is I asked for extra spicy and received none and at times found the 5 spice overwhelming. Thank goodness I had my own chili 🌶️ oil at home. I appreciate the food we had last night and who knows what the future holds, but I think Red Ginger could be 5 star with just a few tweaks...they are almost there.

Red ginger is our staple Chinese food place. We have been ordering from here for years and we are very picky about our Chinese. After moving we now drive 20 minutes to get there cause it's so much better than anywhere else near us. We have ordered a variety of dishes from their menu and never been disappointed. Both mine and my husband's parents now order from there as well.
