Thai Menu

Table for 2 for Lunch As I got closer I noticed plenty of free shared parking was available, and I easily found a spot just a short walk from the restaurant. As I approached, I noticed outdoor seating and decided to wait near the entrance for my friend to arrive. The steady stream of customers suggested it was a popular place for takeout as well. When my friend showed up, we had a quick chat about whether to dine inside or out. I was leaning toward sitting outside (of course), and thankfully, he agreed. Although the day was a little gloomy and some sunshine would've been nice, we opted for the patio. The indoor dining area looked a little dark anyway. We were seated promptly and handed menus. Our server, Lukas, came by shortly after to take our drink order--we kept it simple with a couple of waters--and then started checking the extensive menu. What makes this place stand out is its variety: Japanese, Chinese, and Thai dishes all in one spot. On this visit, we were definitely focused on the Thai options. While they offered a few lunch specials, I was a little disappointed that the Massaman curry wasn't included. I went with the Panang curry with chicken instead, while my friend chose the chicken Pad Thai. My friend asked if some added spice could be added to his order and he advised he would mention it to the kitchen. The food arrived pretty quickly (under 15 minutes) --which gave us a chance to catch up while we waited. The lunch special also came with a choice of soup or salad; we both chose the ginger salad, which arrived with a spring roll on the side. Lukas, our server, was clearly busy but remained friendly and helpful throughout. My friend's meal didn't turn out particularly spicy, but he still really enjoyed it. I was happy with my Panang curry too--great flavor and a generous portion for a lunch special. I've driven past this place many times, but this was my first visit. Now that I've tried it, I'll definitely be back--especially since it's located in one of my favorite areas of town.

I tend to only bother giving positive reviews of the places I like. This place on the other hand I feel I should give a heads up. The sushi was inedible. Something was off about the tuna to the point where I couldn't swallow without a fight. I'm sorry. The staff were very nice and seem to be authentic. Perhaps I caught them on a bad day or I should simply try something else. The prices were actually decent, that's why I wanted to come here instead of the one right on the main road. My girlfriend reluctantly ordered the chicken. She didn't finish hers either. I'm pretty sure I learned my lesson. Listen to her next time she says "I don't know about this place" lol.

Food was fine and server was great. But the owners wouldn't honor the specials on their website (pics attached). First, she pretended not to understand me. Then, she said it was carry out only (it isn't). And finally, she tried to say it's not her website. All were untrue. With all the great options around, we won't be going back. May be harsh, but any trust is gone and we won't give money to them.

Crispy Calamari
Tierra L.

Not sure why I'm giving it 2 stars but here goes Customer service: Poor. It took the waitress 20 mins for each step (sitting, drinks and food and ticket). I couldn't even hear what she was saying. She wasn't attentive at all. Kept walking around us and attending to other stuff with only 3 tables. I literally had to walk to the hostess stand just to get the ticket to pay to leave. I asked for a cocktail comprised of 6 different ingredients and she said they don't do mock tails despite I was only asking for you not to add the vodka. No discount, no alternative price. Food quality: the calamari was so little and not all like the picture online. It's more batter than calamari. So crunchy and the sauce wasn't good either. Parking: this is the reason for the stars I guess. It's located in a hustling and bustling area in downtown Decatur with ample shopping center parking. I've been 3 times and 2/3 were bad I won't be back.

Panang Curry lunch. The egg was a nice surprise

I like Green Ginger. What's not to like? The prices are excellent, as is the service and portion sizes. I went here a few years ago with Sharon M. And have been coming ever since. Today I had the basil chicken and the pad see ew. Both were tasty. I could have used a bit more heat in the basil but I'm sure I could have asked for some hot chili oil. The noodles were great and the portion was HUGE. I wish for maybe a few more pieces of broccoli but that is just a personal preference. I recommend this place for a business or fun lunch especially-dinner is probably excellent as well I just haven't tried it. I did notice that they have a rotating happy hour menu/specials and that is always welcome. My friend got the noodle bowl And it looked amazing so i will try that next time.

Ocean Roll
Angelica D.

I'd honestly give them a 2.5 out of 3. We came here after a last minute change of venue for a birthday dinner. I've been to the restaurant years ago when I worked in the area and wasn't impressed then. Sadly, not much has changed. The coconut soup was ok. I added shrimp which was an additional fee and literally received only 2 shrimp. The crab Rangoon was way too sweet and almost inedible. The ocean roll was fine, but nothing special. I tasted some chicken from my husband's teriyaki chicken and steak dish. It was rubbery and gross. On the bright side, they do serve really strong drinks. Everyone in our party enjoyed the drinks. Although I probably wouldn't return, I will say that they accommodated our large party at the last minute. Emily was our server and she really tried her best, but another server should've been assigned to assist her.

My husband and I wanted some mid day lunch so we walked down Ponce De Leon and stumbled across this Asian Fusion restaurant. We ordered a super crunchy roll, chicken/shrimp lo mein, chicken & shrimp Pad Thai, soup and salad, and the steak (strip) teriyaki with fried rice. We also ordered some cocktails Rock you like a hurricane and a Strawberry cocktail that were pretty good. It was very good and the lunch prices were great. The ginger salad was amazing. There weren't alot of people there so customer service was good. There was also an up charge to add shrimp to the lo mein of $5.49 but it came out as a side of shrimp fried rice our server was new, he did well but was a little confused at times about what food was coming out. We ordered the Pad Thai to go but it came out at the beginning of the meal. Overall, the food was really good and I would go back.

It's been awhile since the last time I came. So, I decided to go and grab some sushi. The place was too hot to eat indoor as if the air conditioner was set on 75 or 76 degrees and it's 90 degrees or so outside. To charge customers that much money and can't spare air conditioner is RIDICULOUS!! The food is great as usual BUT realize if you order sushi, they have gone really cheap on rice when they wrap it in a sushi!! I normally order their tiramisu for dessert and they are usually decorated with design and cookie stick. Definitely not today. They changed so much since I last came especially eating with no air condition!

When I think about Asian fusion, my mind sends me directly past The Green Ginger. I've been frequenting this establishment since the early 2010's. When Mulan closed the location on Juniper St downtown, I was looking for an alternative. I happened to get a recommendation from a friend about this place. The restaurant was a whole vibe and the staff has been top notch. This is one of the better tasting fusion spots in the Decatur area. Their portions are plentiful and the many different dishes are robust in flavor. This isn't a hidden gem anymore, so stop by and give them a try!

Upon Entry, there is a beautiful waterfall that is so peaceful. The outdoor patio( weather permitting) is An Asset to a Great Demographic. Indoor Dining is Classy comfortable. The Labatorys Are Always Immaculately Clean.

Green Ginger Roll
Julie R.

This place worked out great for a quick weeknight dinner. I love that they clearly indicate if an item is gluten free on the menu. So helpful! This restaurant is Asian Fusion, which means that they have a variety of Chinese, Japanese, Thai, and Korean dishes. I had the Philadelphia sushi roll (my fav), the Green Ginger roll, and a glass of Meomi Pinot Noir. It was delicious! I have ordered Panang Curry from here before and I was happy with it as well. The service was excellent!

Interior was nice and clean. As soon as I walked in, the hostess just told me to find an open seat which was confusing because I thought it was a restaurant. Service was run by one poor waitress who was clearly overwhelmed. She did a great job running all the tables despite having nobody help her. I visited during their lunch hour which offers a lynch special that includes spring roll and miso soup. Spring roll was a tiny bite size but still appreciated the crispy roll. Miso soup was way too salty. Panang curry chicken 3/10 - watery curry, boiled chicken with bell peppers, I would recommend trying something else

Lunch special thai curry dish, rice, spring roll and soup $11.95!  (Nov 2023)
Michael W.

I had bought 2 Groupons here. The restaurant has been sold and is under new owners. The previous was a scam, but the new owners are good! I went for lunch. They have lots of lunch specials of either 11.95, 12.95 or 13.95. They come with a spring roll and small soup. The coconut soup is a soup option with these special and REALLY GOOD. They have 3 sushi on the lunch specials with the highest being 13.95. I appreciate good prices! Many restaurants I have to let go due to soaring prices. The place has a nice restaurant atmosphere. Its downtown Decatur. I will be going back as I like to have many coices and get more coconut soup! Even though it was rather full I got a parking spot right outside the entry door! Free parking.

Today we ordered the diced beef, kung pao chicken, and orange chicken. The spicy beef had the perfect kick without being overwhelming, with tender slices of beef coated in a rich, bold sauce. The kung pao chicken was well-balanced with just the right mix of savory, slightly sweet, and nutty flavors. And the orange chicken? Crispy, saucy, and perfectly glazed -- not too sticky or overly sweet. One thing we always appreciate is the portion size. You can easily share or have leftovers for the next day (which somehow taste just as good). Whether dining in or grabbing takeout, HAI Indicator stays reliable, flavorful, and satisfying every time. Definitely a go-to spot for us.

They could do better at packaging as some of our stuff did leak during our ride home. But man, it was so good. Mongolian beef was FIYAAA and savory and onion-y.

If your nose isn't running and sinuses clearing, can you really say it was Szechuan?
