They also have a carry out and made to order menu but I've only ever been for the buffet. Stand-out items for me are their freshly made sushi, potstickers, honey chicken, black pepper chicken, and lo mein. I love that so many of their dishes have big pieces of broccoli, onions, peppers, mushrooms, etc. In addition to the sushi bar they also have a stir-fry bar where you can go through and select your own raw items (including eggs, meats, fish, veggies, & noodles) and they cook it up for you in the sauce of your choice. I feel like I haven't found the sauce I really love yet and stir-fry can be so filling that sometimes I skip this part to make sure I have enough room for sushi and my other favs!

I think Ginger has descent food - it's all buffet and a wide variety. Traditional Chinese food,…read moreseafood, and a few American staples. I appreciate how clean the buffet is, well stocked and wiped down. I would eat here again, even if to ignore the not too friendly or welcoming staff. No one cracks a smile and it's a little uncomfortable. But the food is descent. Three of us ate for $53. If the service was more friendly, I'd feel better about leaving a tip & I do tip generously... I just don't think the staff is inviting or welcoming. If you can get past that, for Ginger a try if you're looking for a quick, sit down Chinese meal.

They put a lot of effort in making this an upscale restaurant. Customer service was exceptional. Grace was our server. She checked on us all night. She made our experience one of the best we have had. The assistant server kept our drinks full. Grace went over the specials and the vegetable of the dau. She even brought us a complimentary cake for our anniversary. The food was great. For starters we got the pepperoni bruschetta. It was delicious. The presentation was amazing. The steak was very tender. I got the Porter's signature grill pepperloin and baked potato. It came with their signature mustard sauce on the side. The steak was so tender that I cut it with the fork. I didn't know what to expect but everything was excellent. She got chicken marsala over whipped potatoes and green beans. She loved it. We got the 7 layers chocolate cake and cheesecake. There is plenty of free parking. I had a wonderful time. You have got to try this restaurant .

They also served carrots on the side. The carrots had a glaze on them, but, they were basically uncooked, they were hard to eat and I had to use a knife and fork to cut a piece off. I sent them back to kitchen to be cooked more. However, when they came back to my table, they were hard as could be, they had a glaze on them, but, again, Very hard to eat, and I did not eat them. I was very disappointed for the price of the meal at this famous restaurant. Very Disappointed!!! Reluctant to try this restaurant again.

They did offer to move us when a table opened up but there were others waiting too so we stayed at the bar. Service was good, especially given how busy they were with two servers. Spicy crab Rangoon (looked like an egg roll) was delicious! My husband claimed it didn't need the sweet chili sauce but I enjoyed it! I got the Spicy Strawberry Mushroom plate - crispy shittake mushrooms with slightly sweet sauce and peanuts served with white rice. So good!!!! The strawberry made it slightly sweet but not overly sweet! Spice was like a general Tso - nice little heat but won't burn your face off. Hubby got the spicy pork bulgogi and it was so good! He was able to hold back (he at some of mine for the record) and had enough to take home for a small dinner. Cute little place, was a little chilly due to how often the door opened for door dash and people coming and going, but as busy as it was, the service and food were great!

We made reservations ahead of time and were seated right away when we arrived. The waitress was great. They bring out a herb bread with butter. We ordered the bone marrow and crab cakes to start off. Both were good. Caesar salad was also good. Do not order the french onion soup. It was the worst we have ever eaten. It was basically perfectly clean bowl with a light brown liquid and dried up croutons and tried to melt a cheese in it. Tasted horrible and was not hot/warm. Okay now back to the good. Steaks were fabulous - top 10 for sure. Lobster tail was good and the asparagus was cooked perfect. Dessert was good but the creme brûlée was in a really shallow dish. Wish the dish was bigger/deeper. There was some kind of peanut butter chocolate dessert that was phenomenal- yummy! The inside was nice and not too loud. We will definitely go back minus the soup.
