Ginger root’s sesame chicken is the BEST in the world!! Have been to this place after a long time and the taste is still the same! It was nostalgia for me visiting this place having this entree . The veggie fried rice was too dry and not up to the mark. But overall nothing like the sesame chicken here

It was good before but not now in the summer. I ordered a big one but it’s size was even smaller than the small one in earlier days. How could the staff be so cheap considering increasing price?

A line cook at Ginger root heard me asking about the menu (Tofu is usually on mondays) and went above & beyond to make me a satisfying meal! People are awesome!

Disappointed, used to eat from here and would get a large bento with sesame chicken and rice, and I would get a very generous amount of food that tasted amazing, was one of my favorite places to eat on campus. Went there last week and I got barely any chicken or rice, the amount of food I got seemed like it was even less than what you would get from the small bento. I did not go back to complain because I was busy and needed to go for class so I had no time to wait for another order. Might give them another chance when they’re not busy.

Not authentic Chinese food or anything but the sesame chicken is delicious 40% of the time. Place is extremely hit or miss. After eating here over 10 times, both through delivery and in-person, it misses more than it hits, but when it hits it hits.

Do not go to this place if you want a good meal. I've been there twice, and both times the chicken was terrible. I got white rice the first time, which isn't hard to mess up so it was OKAY. I tried fried rice the second time and it tasted worse than the chicken. I took one bite of each and threw it out. Waste of $6.42 in my opinion. If you want to actually enjoy your meal, walk an extra 2 minutes to QQ Express. Or just don't eat, that's also a better option.

I appreciate having Chinese food on campus. This place was quite good the first time I tried it a couple of years ago, but something must have changed since. Today I got a bento with 2 entrees. The tofu (in Broccoli and fried tofu) was all dried out and not really edible. The chicken with mushrooms had no flavor and the chicken was also way too dry. It would be nice if Union South could hire some people who actually know how to cook.

I had really good memories of their Sesame Chicken from a few months ago, but when I went there last week, it was actually pretty bad. Did not have any of the tinge of spiciness that it previously did, and the fried rice was also just okay. Overall a pretty bad experience food-wise. The server was nice though, and gave me extra chicken and less rice as per my request.
