Have been going here for years and this place never disappoints. Good prices, fast service and yes food is amazing. Next door Asian restaurant sucks.
Love it here. Go there every week . Sushi is fresh and plentiful . Chinese food are also very good. Highly recommended
Place was great, quick and good food. Great drinks. Good place
Very happy with our overall experience at Ginger Gourmet in North Reading! For drinks, we enjoy sitting at the bar and having either a mai tai or scorpion bowl for two. We had the General Gaus chicken combo special, beef lo mein and sushi. (Photos of sushi- Philadelphia and Spicy Tuna) The combination special has very generous portions and you will probably have leftovers. Highly recommend dining in or takeout/delivery.
I only use Uber for ordering and delivery. I'm happy with everything I order. Highly recommend. Flavors are spot on. Food comes fast.
I love the food here. The “Amazing Chicken” is Amazing. But the stand-out is the FOH Staff… especially the dark haired (really pretty) girl who works FOH. She was amazing — and it makes the food 300% more enjoyable. I will be returning!
Our new go-to Chinese and sushi place! We've gotten both lunch and dinner so far and are very impressed. Food is fresh, good quality, generous portions. The shrimp tempura is very lite and crunchy coating with sweet shrimp, the egg rolls are fresh made -not the frozen kind, the best crab ragoons ever and thick flavorful chicken teriyaki. Sushi is very well made, well above average. The rice is New York style Chinese, so up to individual preference, but honestly we barely got to the rice with all the yummy food options. Each time I go in intending to take pictures of the food, but immediately forget at the sight of it 😋 Will be going back regularly!
First visit, the food was decent for American Chinese. The service was great. Nice atmosphere and clean. When it comes to American Chinese it’s hard to impress me, the food is either subpar or decent ha ha. Would definitely visit again as my boyfriend likes this place and the sushi was decent too. If you are in town or passing through I recommend stopping in as I am confident you won’t be disappointed and likely impressed.
Ginger Gourmet is a fantastic place with great food, a welcoming atmosphere, and excellent service. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and arrived quickly. A special shoutout to the bartender, Chrys, who was absolutely fantastic! Friendly, attentive, and made the entire experience even better with outstanding service and great recommendations. It’s clear the staff takes pride in making guests feel welcome. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend Ginger Gourmet to anyone looking for a great meal and an even better experience!
North Shore MA has the BEST American Chinese food and you can’t tell me otherwise 😏🥡✨ This spot is a solid 7/10 spot if you’re craving a wide variety of Chinese and Japanese dishes. It’s classic American Chinese comfort food, and they truly have a little bit of everything. The sushi wasn’t the best quality, but honestly… if you want options, this is your place. Big menu, perfect for groups, tons to share, and a surprisingly nice bar where you can sip a drink while you wait 🍸🍤
