    a plate of rice, meat, and vegetables
    Barry B.

    I have an almost dangerous willinginess to try chinese food in random strip mall joints. I was in OC for a work event, and had some time to do nothing useful. So I hit up Yelp. Within reasonable distance, the results led me here. This Chinatown buffet, was in a perfectly run down, pass through town strip mall. Most people likely never look left and right screaming past at 70+ mph (speed limit is 50) in these kind of towns. People talk about flyover, perhaps we need to add a term like "race by". Anyway, I got a pork kung pao and wings. I was happy, I was stuffed. It was exactly what I expected, food, lots of it at a reasonable price, salty, not great, not bad- just good belly filling. I would come back.

    Lime in with clams.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place was huge and quiet with a great selection of dishes including hibachi.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Plenty of servers who are very attentive and take care of drink refills and taking used plates off the table. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Many TV's showing numerous channels.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We live about 30 minutes away in Delaware and this place is definitely worth the trip.

    The food is good 'for the Price's. The waitresses should pay more attention to the patrons than their mobile devices!

    Always find lots of good food, not everything is 100 percent, but the choices over power the few items that are not perfect

    Absolutely loved this place almost as much as their sister restaurant, Kaiju…read more Great looking restaurant! Very clean and no lack of eye candy to take in, including huge TVs Oddly enough, we did not order the BBQ. I opted for the Tteok-bokki, my first time having this staple of Korean food. Absolutely delicious! We order the UNI as well, and again, although I love sushi, it was my first time trying this particular treat. So good! The honey garlic wings are one of the best wings I have ever tasted -period! The sushi was excellent and nicely priced. I also tried the Kimchi Jigae, and it was stellar. Service was great, and a robot brought our food to the table. So fun! We can't wait to come back!!

We opted against having any BBQ, because I still think the tables are too small for all the plates the drop down. Everyone seems to like the "robot" that carries the food, but I found it kind of loud and annoying (but then, I'm an old man and might just be a little crotchety about that kind of stuff). Started with garlic edamame, which was quickly devoured. Sushi was, again, super-fresh, well sized, and excellently prepared and presented. We also added a kimchi pancake that was huge, and packed with kimchi and other vegetables. Service was very friendly, attentive, and on-point, so overall, a significant improvement. We'll keep them on the list :)

    Ginger House is among our small collection of restaurants in Salisbury on our "preferred" list. It…read moreis one that we refer friends and family to for a reliable quality experience. Our most recent visit demonstrates: Meal for two included the featured "Oh My God Roll." Upon serving wifey and I spontaneously exclaimed "Oh My God!" Its presentation was beautifully artistic. The unique combination of ingredients was amazing - each part such as salmon or shrimp offering well-defined unique flavor, yet the roll combination with other ingredients resulted in a collective flavor and mouth feel that was both satisfying yet leaving us wanting more. This is a dangerous combination for those seeking to minimize caloric intake. Sigh. Well, we tucked into the OMG roll before taking a photo so images presented only show a portion. Yes, the pieces are huge! It was tempting to devour a single piece in one bite, yet that is not our style. We carry a special pocket-knife for such situations to carve and share bite-sized pieces. If you wish, the kitchen can provide a sharp knife for this purpose. Note: Rice is an overlooked major contributor to a roll's success. In the case, it was delicately sweet with optimal (to us) chew that made it worth eating alone. Yum! Also - The Ginger House is exceptionally generous with wasabi and picked ginger condiments. Wow! Half the portions offered would have been more than sufficient for us. We hated to see anything wasted, even these items, so we took a lot home, but not everything. The OMG roll alone was sufficient for a normal meal, however we enthusiastically over-ordered by adding a Sexy roll, an order of House Lo Mein, and a Chirashi with salad and hot soup. Most of these added dishes were packaged to take away! With water to drink, the total bill was $94 plus tip. This was a reasonable price for us as with leftovers two of us enjoyed three meals each (6 total)! Results for others will vary of course. Hint: If dining in, order conservatively as you can always ask for more, or make a separate order for take away. The dining area was clean and service by Collean was pleasant and professional. I especially appreciated her constant smile and willingness to laugh genuinely at our corny jokes. The atmosphere is tastefully Asian influenced. Booth seat cushions were soft yet resilient, and the glass partitions offer some sense or privacy yet they did not offer exceptional sound deadening as details of nearby conversations were detectable. The restrooms were clean and free parking was ample in the strip mall lot. Overall, this seems a reliable place for family gatherings, business meetings, or even a date. The menu is sufficiently varied to accommodate vegetarians, and based on our questions the kitchen staff are capable magicians who enjoy experimentation and accommodating special requests. We'll be back.

    Overpriced, small portions, long wait time, food and staff are mid grade at best. Asian food is my…read morefavorite to eat and cook. I have traveled my entire life and have eaten at hundreds of Asian restaurants all over the country. The prices here are higher than major city prices!!!
