We started going here after Joy Asia (RIP) closed, and we can't say enough good things about Ginger Garden. Excellent food, really good drinks, great service...and KENO! Our favorites are Jalapeño hamachi, egg and scallion fried rice, crab rangoons and pretty much everything else. Bartenders are attentive and the customers are friendly. They've got teppanyaki tables which are popular any time of the day, and it's fun to watch the chefs even if you aren't participating in the meal. If you love fresh sushi, adult beand tasty Chinese dishes, make Ginger Garden part of your regular stops. You won't regret it! read more

Ginger Garden - Lake Ting Tung Shrimp and egg and scallion fried rice - Sushi Bars Near Me - Marlborough, Massachusetts

Had New Year Eve dinner reservations for party of 9 At hibachi grill. Arrived before reserved time; was not late. Waited 2 hours before seated at table. Would have left but no hope of getting seated with 9 people anywhere else on NYE. Waited 1/2 hour before waitress took drink orders.... Another long wait for food orders. One of our party couldn't take any more and left abruptly. Food quality - fair. Huge rice portions, small meat portions. Chef practically threw portions on our plates...food falling in drink cups and all over counter & chef picking a pieces that fell on counter and tossed onto plate...ew. We were seated in an additional room with 2 hibachi grills that was also used as a storage room. Unsightly Boxes of supplies were haphazardly stacked along far wall. Cobwebs stretched from ceiling to grill vent canopy. Ended up being late to following reservations at live music venue and lost our table. Been going to Ginger Gardens past 16 years -when it was Fuji Gardens on NYE. This is second year NYE service was terrible. Gave them benefit of doubt last year; Will not go back. They are trying to please too many and don't have adequate staffing. Really put a damper on our festivitie; hope that's not a precursor to the new year. read more

This well established local restaurant has hibachi, sushi, and typical American Chinese food. After our first visit, it's hard to say what their speciality is. We didn't try hibachi, but the sushi was okay, albeit pretty expensive for the quality. Relatively basic maki rolls like Eel & Avocado, Shrimp Tempura Maki, and Boston Maki were $8.45 $9.45 each. The Chinese food we tried was pretty mediocre. Beef Chow Foon had tender beef and nice chewy noodles, but was too oily. The real disappointment was the chef special Five Flavor Shrimp, which had nice flavor, but the shrimp were overcooked and rubbery. White rice is not included with entrees. Lots of big TVs and an active bar scene, but given inattentive service, high prices, and so-so food, I'll stick to other sushi and Chinese restaurants in the area. Oh well. read more

Sells amazing food at reasonable prices and the staff are very nice, appropriate and respectful

Drove 30 mins because of the good reviews. We ordered from the Chinese food menu. Flavorless except that everything was really sweet. Not very hygienic. Staff is not trained and put their hands over the top of the glass when they deliver water and drinks. Won't be back. read more

Reminded me of a great chinese restaurant I used to frequent on 7th Ave in NYC when I travelled in business. Really enjoyed the experience. Nice fresh prep. Recommend the Pineapple Shrimp. Sesame Crispy Beef, Chicken and Cashews and Fried Rice. Will definitely be back. read more

Had dinner on a monday evening. was pretty busy, but not overwhelming. we had two toddlers with us, were sat immediately, and they got our early order for the kids out right away, which is always appreciated. the crab rangoon and chicken teriyaki was delicious and the kids loved it. wife and i had two sushi rolls and some sashimi, loved both rolls and the sashimi was fresh and generously portioned. we didnt do the hibachi grill but the people who did were having a blast, we watched some of the chef's show, looked delicious and fun. service was attentive and friendly. really great experience, good food. looking forward to the next time. read more

This was the go-to for my friends and I on the 4th of July. Their menu states that lunch specials aren't available on holidays, but my friends and I still ordered a lunch special each. I didn't realize this until after our order was placed, but we didn't have any issues. I ordered L10, which was chicken and veggies in a garlic sauce. Although tasty, it wasn't garlic sauce in my opinion. I didn't taste any garlic at all. It was more like a spicy brown sauce. Other than that discrepancy, this meal overall was good. Lots of chicken and yummy veggies. Lunch specials come with white rice or fried rice. I'm not quite sure why brown rice isn't an option. Also, the "appetizer of the day" is included with lunch. I find that to be an interesting concept. The appetizer of the day for us was crab Rangoon. It wasn't good at all. It was all cream cheese with a dot (literally) of crab. (See picture) If that even was crab? It tasted more like veggie cream cheese to me. My friend ordered sesame chicken. He ate all of it, so I'll assume he enjoyed it. My other friend ordered chicken teriyaki. The chicken teriyaki came with soup, salad, veggies and rice. He enjoyed it as well. Food overall was tasty. I would order again next time I'm in the area...just wouldn't order crab Rangoon. read more

We got a takeout order. The food that we could actually eat was good, but part of our order was Chu Chow Three Delight which, according to the menu, has chicken, beef and scallops in it. But our order contained shrimp not scallops, which 2 out of 3 of us are allergic to. I called the restaurant and complained. They offered to credit my card, one week later they have not. Don't believe their menu and don't believe their word. read more

The service is good and the food is good you should try it out it's one of the best Ambiance good! read more

Great date night! Corner booth over on the sushi bar side. Food and drinks - great! Staff was friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back!!!! read more

This place really surprised me. Drove by for years. Never went in. With the closure of a few other local places we decided to give it a try. Almost hoping for a Chinese dive bar we were surprised once inside. Clean, bright and relatively modern. Other than the teppanyaki tables the dining room is not overly large. The bar has enough high tops and it looks like they doubled the bar size by taking the bar back wall down. But now to the drinks and food. We've have had three bartenders here. Two of them (there all but one time) make great drinks! The third not so much. The Tiki drinks are strong and tasty. The mixed drinks can be ordered tall and they are tall and strong. The food is the biggest surprise. Everything we have tried has been fresh and delicious. From the raw fish to the deep fried apps. Never been disappointed. Prices are average, service is quick and friendly and the bar is full of friendly regulars. Currently our go to place. read more

Great food and delivery was quick. My food was still hot and had crunch to the chicken wings. Everything tasted freshly fried, and it was more leftover for me to eat for tomorrow! This was my first time ordering there and won't be my last! read more

Ordered some Tofu in Garlic Sauce (listed with one spicy pepper), Sauteed String Bean, and a couple appetizers. The string beans were sauteed, though there was just a little sweet sauce with zero flavor. Tofu in garlic Sauce? The tofu looked great, the vegetables looked crisp, but the sauce was just sweet, not spicy, no garlic flavor at all, and the tofu as actually sort of rubbery... not the right texture at all. Scallion pancake was fine, nothing terribly special, not crisp at all. But hey, at least it showed up quickly! read more

Stopped here for takeout while running errands. Best garlic chicken and lo mein we have found locally. Definitely will be our new takeout place. read more

Ordered for pick up I got the orange chicken which was good, I got the crab Ragu noon which was good, I got the big teriyaki sticks which was good, and I got the lobster sauce for my rice which I won't be able to try because the rice is extremely hard. The rice is very nasty and I'll never be buying that again but other than that everything else was good . It definitely sucks driving 20 minutes there just to get nasty rice but the rest was it read more

We only ever order from ginger garden. The last two times the food was awful. This time the worst. Everything was over cooked, dryed out and cold. I added special instructions which were completely ignored. When I called to complain they said I could come pick up a new order. What? I waited over an hour for the first order. That was the last time we will order there. Time to find a new place read more

One of our go-to restaurants! I personally prefer the sushi, but everything is very tasty. Service is friendly and helpful. Try the Hawaii roll! read more

I understand that it's hard to operate a business right now. But this was quite possibly the worst sushi I've had in my life. And I once got food poisoning from eating sushi that was left in a warm fridge. The dumplings were okay. The fried rice was weird and not tasty. The noodles were edible with salt. I'm hoping we just had a bad experience. read more

Expensive, not great Chinese food. We hadn't tried it in a while and felt the quality had deteriorated. Best item was the gyoza dumplings.

Well how great was THAT. Much nicer than a greasy takeout counter, but you can skip the tux and pearls. The food was delicious, fairly priced, and staff pleasant and helpful. If we were local, we'd go a lot. But for just passing through, we picked a stop totally worth it. Couldn't order off the drinks menu tonight because of the driving, but there were some awesome choices. Lots of parking available. read more

Came here with my family and they loved the hibachi! Waiters are all attentive. Bartender/owner Dennis is super nice and made sure everything was great! I highly recommend Ginger Garden. Plenty of parking and guest WiFi. read more

In the day and age of paid delivery services it's hard to find a restaurant that is willing to do their own delivery. Especially sushi. I did not resubscribe to my delivery service which shall remain nameless. It was a waste of money and as someone who has formally worked in the restaurant business, restaurants are already hurting because of the pandemic they do not need to lose anymore of the profit. My biggest beef was the communication or lack of with my sushi restaurants. I'm usually good for a sushi deluxe but I hate salmon. Just a personal thing. I was able to call Ginger Garden and I was able to voice this to host. Not only did they did deliver it themselves and promptly but they replaced the salmon with more tuna. The sushi was fresh, delicious as was the miso soup and salad that came with it. Ginger Garden you just got yourself a regular customer and I urge anyone reading to try this restaurant themselves. read more

Takeout from here, they keep giving me white rice when I upcharged myself for lo mein which I'd rather have. This has happened twice. Both times after ordering online. read more

The Afedachi Tofu was HORRIBLE! The taste was god awful. My boyfriend who eats everything including potentially spoiled food, couldn't eat it. We ended up throwing it outside to see if animals would eat it. They did not. I recommend either rethinking the recipe or removing it from the menu! YUCK! All other food items were yummy. We ordered a tofu dish however requested no peppers. They tend to overwhelm a dish with peppers. We requested pineapple to be added instead. It was delightful! We would order again. read more

The food and service were great and the teppanyaki chef was very talented. Tip to the chef. If you're cooking for two women, don't squirt them with that stupid little boy peeing thing. Cheers! read more

We used to go to Fuji haven't been since it switch owners. My husband and I decided to eat out on New Years Day for dinner. We sat in the be Sushi section and started off with the Salt and Pepper Calamari as our appetizer, OMG from the first to the last bite we couldn't get enough of it. It was fresh and tender with a very light batter. The salt and pepper seasonings were spot on. I wanted to order a 2nd helping but we had ordered other dishes. They were quite busy and they weren't fully staffed at the Sushi Bar-never the less we weren't in a hurry. We ordered Tuna Tarter, Jalapeño Hamachi, Marlborough Roll, Spider Roll which were all delicious. Our must order is the Salt and Pepper Calamari and Tuna Tarter (the flavors with the mango-AMAZING)!!! We will be back soon! I forgot to take pictures but will next time. read more

This place is shady - I assume it's the new owners. Here's the thing: I used to love Fuji Steakhouse. So I figured now that it is Ginger Garden I should give it a try. Sadly, whoever renamed it is also pretty shady. Bring Cash and don't use your credit card. Here is what happened to me: My waitress took my debit card and came back and told me it was declined and I had to give her another card. So I did, but should have been worried and asked for a declined receipt. The next day I noticed she had charged me twice! I called in and was told that the manager said he was not over and so it must be a processing error with the bank, that the charge should be reversed in a few days. A week later I called in after it was not reversed and someone who would only say his name was "Jim" said a manager would call me back and took my number. Of course, "Jim" was just as shady as the rest of them and no one ever called me back. They have not corrected the issue and I've tried to fight them with my bank but apparently they must have faked my signature on a receipt or something. I WAS a longtime customer with a family of 5 who love Hibachi, but I'll be dining at Samba Steak and Sushi from now on. It's a little further away from my as I'm coming from Hudson, but the service staff is way less likely to rip you off, which is a huge plus in my book. read more

I'm giving them 2 stars because it could have been a fluke. I ordered the house Lo Mein and it looked amazing, but the chicken in it had a TERRIBLE smell and when I took a bite it tasted RANCID. I threw the whole thing out! Honestly a waste of money. BE CAREFUL WITH WHAT YOU ORDER! I also got the sesame beef and it was okay. I sincerely hope it was just a fluke, but DO NOT order the house Lo Mein! read more

We are greeted with a warrior smile every time and by every host. The drinks are good. Food is delicious and hot. Waitstaff is always friendly and attentive. I highly recommend read more

Ginger Garden - Sampler for 2 - Sushi Bars Near Me - Marlborough, Massachusetts

My parents and friends decided to come here and bring me here on my birthday. Lots of options on the menu and very hard to pick. Teppanyaki was awesome and delicious. Chef was really well-aware beforehand that it was my birthday. Appetizers blend in well with the main course of the meal. Definitely recommend the chicken wings and crab rangoons as well as the boneless spare ribs. Did try both the salt and pepper chicken wings and the spicy house wings (which were both very tasty). See lots of varieties on wings. Duck sauce and hot mustard were absolutely sweet, compared to other Chinese restaurants (where sauces had no taste in general). Business here is definitely amazing. Restaurant was straight up packed on a Saturday night, while service was still quick. Servers were attentive and knowledgeable. The evening ended off with wrapping up gifts and CAKE!!! Great experience as always and will be back in the future. read more

Always loved this place. Went every Friday with my kids. Now, since Covid, food has been inconsistent. It lacks flavor and portions are smaller. I ordered today from Grubhub. Food was 25 minutes late (that is on Grubhub) and as expected it was cold. I ordered the Filet and shrimp Hibachi. They called me to tell me they had no ginger sauce and that fried rice would be charged extra. I told them I already paid the additional fee on app. She then verified how I wanted the filet cooked. Mid rare. The filet came well done. Soup was tasteless. So disappointing. read more

Ginger Garden is our go-to restaurant when we can't figure out what we want for dinner. My wife loves their pad thai and I love everything I get from here (I jump around the menu). Their chicken fingers are really good too. If they were closer to our house, we'd go here even more. The people working here are also extremely friendly and make me feel very welcome every time I walk through the door. read more

I enjoy this place immensely! The owner and staff are incredibly friendly and nice. I usually order their sushi or meals vs hibachi. I like yum yum sauce, and there aren't any places near Marlborough that have it. Now that one of my favorite "hangouts" has closed, I see myself going to Ginger Garden more often. read more

DELICIOUS AND FRESH!!!!! If you haven't been to Ginger Garden, you are missing out! The sushi is absolutely amazing and so fresh. The Gorshie maki and Season maki are two of my faves. All of their Chinese food is excellent and the owner is one of the kindest people I know. Delivery or pick up are Both available and following all of the Covid -19 protocols. Honestly, best sushi ever!!! read more

The best China / hibachi restaurant in town and possibly central Massachusetts. Owner and his wife are the nicest, I'm a traveling nurse and they know that I drink wine. Right when I walk in they always offer me a glass, and have witty conversation. The food is fantastic, prime selection. Clean establishment, nice ambience, it doesn't disappoint! Highly recommend! Jeffrey from GA read more

Disappointing first experience ordering food here; placed my order through the website/3rd-party service (Menufy.com) for delivery and it never showed up. After 60 minutes, called the restaurant and they had no record of my order until....they checked for it! Imagine that. It took 2 people to figure out how to read their own computer system and I received absolutely nothing in return for waiting more than 2 hours for my food to arrive. The food itself is unremarkable - maybe it's better when you eat-in? Frankly, I won't be giving this place another try after the lack of awareness displayed this time. If I didn't call the restaurant to check on my order, which they had in their system the entire time, I have serious doubts I would have even received it. But I'm sure I'd receive the bill on time ($45 for 2 meals!). read more

Love this place. My friends been here and highly recommending, so they took me here. We got the platter, lo mein dish, a few rolls and it was absolutely phenomenal. The seating was so cute, we had a mini booth. It felt so private and closed doored. I highly recommend this place and would definitely go back. read more

I really have mixed feelings about writing this review...on one hand, the food is surprisingly upper level for suburban Asian: Fresh, clean tasting yet full-flavored. Portions are large, the sushi is terrific, and the stir fry's are brimming with protein and veggies. The hot & sour soup is also surprisingly good, not gloppy, not charged with red chili flakes like most Americanized Chinese restaurants. Drinks are very good, alcohol content is more than generous. On the other hand...the wait staff is maddening. As in clueless. Nice enough, but bordering on useless. My soup arrived only after reminding her, and after I had already dug into my entire. At our previous visit, the fried rice never arrived. Two visits, it feels like bizarro world. 4 stars for the quality of good, yet the service is so non-maliciously bad that it's actually amusing. We'll continue going unless the food starts to go downhill. Edit as of July 2018: We've since become regulars at Ginger Garden...the food is always great, and the wait staff, while still "amusing" have gotten much better. One of the waiters now recognizes us and remembers our ordering habits, which is great. The owner is personable and super attentive, and I love the fact that he engages with all Yelp reviewers...to me, that's a sign of an owner who is truly engaged. Keep up the good work, Dennis! read more

When I'm in Marlborough, I go to ginger garden. The owner Dennis is the real deal. There are a bunch of Asian places in town but ginger garden is definitely the top spot. Everything is very fresh and the prices are very modest. The staff( Vicky is my favorite) are all super nice and very attentive. Another reason I love this establishment, the place is always super clean and the bathrooms are spotless( that says a lot in my book). Stop in say hi to Dennis and be prepared to eat some really fresh food . Oh ya almost forgot , try a scorpion bowl!!!! read more
