Red Ginger

My husband and I decided to try this place for the first time and we were NOT disappointed. The whole day I was craving some Lao food(as I am half Lao and it's my comfort food), my husband found Red Ginger online and we thought 'Thai food, close enough.'. This place was easy to get to and welcoming. The service was outstanding and we've never been so catered to before. We got fried bean curds and a salad roll to start, as well as a Thai iced tea. At this point we were impressed and could not wait to taste our main dish! Our main dish was a Lime Leaf Stir Fry with tofu and it was delicious. It immediately reminded me of my grandmother's cooking and I have never felt so at home. Turns out that the owners are Lao, so we had a pleasant chat. All in all, this place is a shiny penny. Great service, amazing food. The prices are a bit high, but for the quality you get, it's completely worth it. We will definitely be going back!

Love Thai food, and with the reviews here, I was looking forward to trying this place. The inside is well decorated but instantly met with poor service. It was a quiet inside, but the gentlemen running it, who looked to be either a manager or owner was unpleasant to deal with, as if we were inconveniencing him. The food it’s self was rather plain and flavorless, the quantity I would say was below par and the pricing is at a premium. Did not enjoy the experience at all and would not recommend, considering all the other great Thai options we have in Salem.

Phenomenal!! So delicious! Leaving with a food coma :) Ordered the salad rolls after reading review- BEST SAUCE EVER. Green curry was fantastic. Not too spicy, but a perfect kick. Sweet and sour stir fry wasn't too sweet and had a great variety of veggies. And pad Thai is always a favorite dish- but never had it taste quite like it did here!! We'll definitely come back! 3 dishes for 4 people and we are stuffed! Definitely worth the trip. Don't let the small parking lot deter you.

Positives: Very kind waitress, nice decorations, tasty Peanut Sauce and Thai Iced Coffee. Negatives: Only one waitress and cook. Service was extremely slow. It took about 30 minutes to receive our food. Chicken in the Pad Thai had definitely been frozen. Entrees are definitely overpriced. This restaurant would benefit greatly from having more than two staff. I will not be returning or recommending.
