Grilled Ginger exceeded my expectations for both customer service and the quality of their entrees. The portion sizes were so humongous that I couldn't finish them on my own. I ordered from the K8. Dau Hu Xao Sa Ot - (Hot Chili Sauce Tofu) from the vegetarian section. The tofu was seasoned to perfection. It was a spicy, savory flavor profile with a meaty texture. It was so good that even my son wanted to try some of it based on how delicious it looked. I will tell you the looks underrepresented how great this meal was. Hands-down, the best Vietnamese-style meal I've had to include my traveling in Vietnam. We tried to come back on a Sunday, and it was closed. We were really looking forward to one more dinner here before returning home. The prices were terrific. The servers were very friendly and proactive. Granted, it was a very slow day of approximately eight customers total, so that probably was a factor. However, they still were down to earth, nice, and very tentative, which I appreciate a lot. We left a very good tip. Great news! I'll be back within the next couple of weeks, and who knows? I might eat here every day while I'm there for dinner.

Great Vietnamese restaurant in Fayetteville. Service was great. Very clean restaurant. The food was good and reasonable. The crispy noodles didn't have much sauce in it other than that it was perfect with flavor and everything in it. The rice and pork chop was good with flavorable. The noodles were good as well as the egg rolls and spring rolls. read more

Owner is the best, he accommodated my taste buds and toooed it off with fried banana ice cream. Ambience was quiet and music was pleasing.

This restaurant was very welcoming and seemed very chill. The decor was very interesting and not overwhelming. Love how each table had a "need service" signs so it was aware that help is being requested. Broth was very delicious and came with a lot of meat even tho I ordered extra tendon. The spring rolls was very delicious and wasn't greasy at all. The staff was great and had no issues. read more

If not the best Vietnamese restaurant I've been. Service is top notch, very attentive staff which works as a "team" based on the initial statement from our first server. The service that we got tonight exceeded our expectations, the best in town. Raise the drink booklet if you want to be attended to; otherwise, they leave you alone which actually worked for us. They don't ask you random questions while you're putting food in your mouth ;). Ambience was also good, be forewarned though that if you're not religious, the images of saints and artifacts might surprise you. Other than that, the dining room is , plates, utensils, and everything on your table are all clean. Food, spring roll came out hot from the fryer and tasteful. The Pho combo broth was one of the best I've had, and all the ingredients were tender and the veggies were fresh! The grilled pork was flavorful and portioned very well. Flan was perfect, not too sweet and not bland- just the good amount of sweetness and custard in it. Overall, this place is a must and we'll definitely be back despite the rather odd location, but don't let that sway you away- check them out. read more

I ate lunch here and was pleasantly surprised. The interior is really cute. They have a pretty large menu. Of course I ordered the same thing I always do, so I got the spring rolls and the pho ga. It was really good! They actually season their chicken which I appreciate. The portions are really big. I could not finish my food. This place is very reasonable too. The bill was about $24. read more

Ate dinner here last night. This is out go-to for pho. The winter rolls were huge! One order was enough for both of us, the vegetables were fresh and crispy, and the sauce was delicious. We both had the pho with rare beef. There was a generous serving of vegetables, including both cilantro and basil. The broth was absolutely delicious, with a complex and umami rich flavor. There was a lot of meat, and the noodles were just the right texture. It came boiling hot! The service was excellent, prompt and pleasant. read more

Ordered fresh spring rolls without pork, they were delivered with pork. Server came by and got them remade. I explained to him that I don't eat pork or beef and if he could double check that my Pho was being made with a vegetarian broth, he insured it was. I couldn't even make it home without having to pull over and throw up everything I ate. I spent the next 24 hours on the toilet smh read more

Delicious! Amazing! Great ambiance! Seats many people! Our waitress was very pregnant and rocked it! The other servers were so helpful! read more

Best Pho in Fayetteville nc . It's one of our family favorite restaurants. Being going for many years. Can't get enough Pho!!!!

Great place with fantastic service and great food. This place is clean and there is plenty of seating. The ambiance is quiet and authentic. I ordered the spring rolls, and they came with homemade chili sauce. They were so tasty, and the sauce was amazing. On a scale of 1-10, I ordered my Lemongrass Chili Beef at level 7. It was spicy but not too hot. I also opted to do the garlic noodles for my starch, and they were great. There was so much flavor packed into this meal that I wanted to lick the plate when I was done. read more

prices are definitely way overpriced. Pho is mediocre and pork chop plates have gotten way better.

Always great taste with amazing service as well. Great for a date or just to call and pick up on a weeknight.

In my experience, this is the most well-reputed of Fayetteville's numerous Vietnamese restaurants. They were open for indoor dining when I dropped in, which had a regimented vibe with temperature checks. They keep their distance and ask you to stand up your drink menu if you need service. It's the sort of place that makes a lot of things that I won't eat, but where I was able to find something nice. The menu notes that its vegetarian section still has items with fish sauce (making them not vegetarian) but at least they're clear about that and you can ask to avoid it. The alternative dressing I got on my shredded lotus root salad was certainly tasty enough. They offer a chili sauce tofu with a spice level from 0-10, and when I asked for 9 they did one of those "are you sure?" looks, and it was by no means a subtle flavor. Besides the ample portion of venomous tofu, it was a nice looking plate with various fresh garnishes; I squeezed my orange pieces over the chili for a tropically flavored experience. Still, I was glad I added a banana smoothie to cool things down. I'm not sure they have a whole lot else I'd want to try, but I might come back to take my chances with the 10/10 spice level, as it was a large and beautifully presented portion of delicious food. read more

I will start out by saying I have wanted to go here for a while now and I'm glad I finally did. The waitress/hostess was extremely professional and nice. The use of a menu to signal if I needed assistance was lovely as to not be pestered. I got some chicken soup, I forget exactly but it was something in the Combo section but it was very good. Consistent layers of surprise with cucumbers, mushrooms, and plenty of other aspects. The atmosphere was inviting and comforting as well. It felt very fitting with all the decor. I will say the negative things are few but hard striking. The use of church within the restaurant was unnecessary from Bible readings on the TVs to other Bible related stuff near the door. Church and Food should be separate. Furthermore, the price of some items are very expensive. Overall I give this restaurant an 8.3/10 read more

Went because my staff told me about this place, when I walked in I was greeted by friendly staff and a great host.

Went for lunch on a Saturday. It was. It busy, at all - one of the staff came over and said someone would be with us shortly. This person could have easily taken a drink order but decided to walk around aimlessly on the dining floor. Fast forward to the food - all around decent. The summer rolls were ok, no basil an stir peanut sauce wasn't great. The pho was decent, broth was murky but taste was OK. Ordered a Thai tea - watered down, not the best but not the worst. Overall mediocre experience. If you happen to be driving by, try it. Don't go out of your way to eat here. read more

I really enjoyed my take out from here. I ordered the chicken pho D4. I took it to go and it was still delicious. I'm not a Pho connoisseur like the other reviewers but I can say the food was delish!! When I went in to pick up my order, the lady (I'm assuming she was the owner, her family's beautiful picture was on the wall) addressed me by name (I gave her when I ordered over the phone). Also, she was so sweet and asked was I sure I didn't want to sit down and eat my food inside because I explained to her I had a long day. She even offered help to carry my to go bags to my car. This was a wonderful first impression and she said, "thank you for coming please come back and see us". What a pleasant experience. I will definitely be back oh and the calamari was delicious!! By the way, I LOVE how they put all the ingredients separate for the pho, when you order takeout! Big props!! read more

Got their D2 Pho Tai this time. It was pretty good, but to me it was a bit too sweet for my taste. I have noticed that they tend to cook with a little extra sugar than is necessary for my taste. Nonetheless, if you like your entrees on the sweeter end then this is a good place for you. read more

Yellow curry is amazing. Pho is pretty good as well. Staff is always nice. Spring rolls are not great, bland/plain. Egg rolls are good.

I absolutely love this place. There is nothing I have ordered here that hasn't been a hit. Their portions are big too which makes prices well worth it! Good for groups setting or date night. The seafood curry is the best I've had anywhere else. The lemonade is not sweet, you can definitely taste hints of salt - FYI! read more

When I moved down here I was scared there wasn't going to be great Asian food. We stumbled upon Grilled Ginger. It was almost 8 and they closed at 8:30pm. They greeted us when we entered and seated us right away. They took our drink order and gave us a moment to look at the menu. The service was great! And all the waiters and waitresses all waited on us together. We shared the egg rolls they were good! I was left wanting more! There were many appetizers I will come back and try. I will definitely be back again!!! My husband ordered the Tofu curry. He enjoyed it. He likes to eat spicy so they brought out extra hot oil for him to add more if needed. It's different from the one normally on their table. I ordered Bún bò Hu! It was great! Just a good amount of spicy for me. The broth was amazing! I love it when I don't need to add anything extra besides the lime and the garnishes. They offer cilantro, mint, jalapeño and also there was red and regular cabbage. I'm still dreaming about this broth! I had some left over to take home and ate it the next day... still amazing and I wish I had more. read more

I've only been here one other time and I decided to come back years later. The place is very clean, beautifully decorated, and has a relaxing atmosphere. I ordered spring rolls, beef pho, and water with a classic black tea w/ boba. The pho was the star. It was the reason I came, and it didn't disappoint. Very rich, earthy with all the gray herbs, tasty meat and chewy tripe! I loved the fresh spring rolls too. The customer service was quick too. read more

A little overrated and overpriced. Pho was good but not excellent. There's a lot of good place to have one though. There were only two servers when we ate, i think they need to get more people to accommodate their customers. Ambiance is great if you want some quiet place to eat. read more

The first thing I often do after tasting the pho broth is dump a ton of sriracha and chili sauce into the bowl. Not so with the broth from Grilled Ginger! I don't think I put even a modicum of sauce into the broth. It was that good. + Thai tea. Can't go wrong with Thai tea. Delicious. + Vietnamese coffee. Also delicious. + Coconut mussels. This came with noodles, and both were delectable. + Vegetarian pho bowl. Only comes in one size (large), see above. Overall, I was pleased with every thing item we ordered. Parking is plentiful, free, but is shared among a few other Asian restaurants. Definitely a gem in Fayetteville. read more

The restaurant is lovely, with little fountains creating a very enjoyable atmosphere! There was also classical music playing, which of any music to pipe in was the most unobtrusive. We got a vegetarian stir fry (K5) because we had leftover meat to add from a prior meal and it was great! While we waited for the to-go order, they offered waters, which was really nice. As such, they were attentive and friendly! Honestly for boba, we tried the place across the way in the same parking lot and it was great! read more

Service has not changed and has been consistently horrible for the past 5 years but thought I'd update my review. It's a torture to dine here and I always try to avoid it and order take out instead. I avoid lunch hours at all cost, but the slow hours aren't any better. There can be two tables their dining and you'll still wait 15 mins minimum for everything. The food is amazing so it's just a bummer. But I guess only in Fayetteville you can survive even with horrible service. I'm not a fan of their pho (specifically the broth, the size of the bowl... after you put in all the herbs and bean sprouts you have no room to eat), but all the dishes I've tried here for the past 5 years has never disappointed me. If you have all the time in the world and the patience to back up that time, dine here. The ambiance is great and food is amazing, but if you don't, just order a take out and reheat it at home. read more

Not gonna lie. The food was good and I really didn't think it was going to be. We came to visit my mom and she took us to dinner here. Overall, everything was really good. I was extremely shocked at the price of a bowl of pho. Moving from Las Vegas where I can get a good bowl for around $7-8, I was shocked to see prices from $10-12. They do have a kid's menu which was very nice as well. But for the $5 we paid for the kid pho, I might as well have gotten him an adult bowl because my child was still hungry. It was a very small amount of noodles. The chicken curry was very flavorful and filled with veggies. They are sure to let you know that too. We ordered it and the waitress asked us if we liked veggies because it is loaded with it. There was a table that came in behind us and they ordered the same and the waitress told them the same thing. I would come back if I was in the mood for Pho, all the ingredients were fresh and the broth was banging. read more
