Stopped in for lunch, and we split the Sushi and Sashimi Combo from the All-Day menu, and it was very good and included a salad and a miso soup. I've been to Japan a couple of times and have generally pulled back on ordering Miso soup here at home as it just tends to taste different, but this one was very, very good. We also split a banana tempura dessert, which was quite fun. Would return. read more

Service is always fast and kind. Ambiance is always vibrant with customers and watching the sushi counter is always fun. The food is consistently made which is rare to come across considering the lack of authentic sushi places in North America haha. Thanks for being my go-to hometown spot and always being consistent chefs. Ordered a pick up order and they said it would be 30 minutes- got there in 12 minutes and it was ready up on the counter. Nice! read more

Pay with cash if you go here, they will tip themselves whatever they feel is appropriate, regardless of how much you intended to tip them. Really disappointed because the food is good but that is just bad business right there... read more

Food was fantastic. Had shrimp tempura sushi for appetizers. Everyone raved about how good it was. The Bento Box had a nice variety of food and my daughter recommends it. My wife had the Hibachi Shrimp. I had Shrimp Tempura lunch portion. I will definitely get that again. The atmosphere was perfect: quiet and inviting. The best part of the experience was the service. The staff was over the top courteous and professional. We highly recommend this restaurant based on our experience today. read more

Once again, we were spoiled by amazing service and wonderful food. The best lunch deal in town is the Maki Lunch at Red Ginger. For less than $9, I got hot miso soup, fresh side salad with ginger dressing, one spicy tuna roll and one spicy crab roll! That's crazy!! We will be back soon!! read more

I've eaten here several times, and it's my go to for sushi when I'm in the Quad Cities. Kids love the hibachi, and the portions there are great! Service is always outstanding, and the staff is always very friendly. read more

Great service but mediocre food. Yellowtail Nigiri certainly didn't look or taste like Yellowtail. Owner placed glasses from the dishwasher atop an open garbage can to dry. Certainly a health code violation. When I told her, she admitted but refused to rewash the glasses already placed on the bar. Ambiance features a cluttered and dusty bar and restroom with patches of clean and modern in the seating area. Menus are laminated with "White Out" to highlight increased pricing. Bottom line, better restaurants in the area from my perspective. read more

Came here with my dad and sister recently. I had the three roll lunch special. It started with a good miso soup (richer broth than most) and a small salad (entirely typical.) I had the oshinko (crunchy Japanese pickle: I had never had this before, and it's good!), chicken tempura (good, pretty crispy despite the moist surroundings) and Philly roll (pretty good.) I also tried one of my sister's tempura shrimp, ok but not very crispy. Service was good, the manager made an effort to find a good place for Dad and his wheelchair. read more

This is probably a good sushi place but the teriyaki was terrible . The sauce must have come from a 1 gallon can of Axel grease!

I'll keep it simple. The service was good. The appetizers and soup/salad pre-meal were really lacking. We got sushi and that was solid. No complaints about the entrees. Would go back for that. And just that. The dessert also was bad honestly: I've had better green tea mochi from Aldi. The complaints on here about the booths are probably because they are picky about who gets to go to the "shoes off" area, which is totally their prerogative. read more

Food was really tasty, I got the French kissing roll and I loved it. The calamari wasn't the best, but I will still give it 5 stars because everybody working there was really nice, food came out quickly, and the ambiance is just warm overall. read more

I can't say enough about this place. Several years ago a friend/colleague took me to Red Ginger for a "Sushi Appreciation" crash course. It was successful and since then, it's about the only local place I'll indulge in sushi or sashimi. Everyone who works there is so kind and welcoming. No seriously, EVERYONE. The food is very fresh, addictive, and pretty. The cooks do a great job preserving the art. Even if you're just out for a drink, it's a great stop. Given the time of day, you're either going to enjoy peace and quiet or a bustling restaurant good for people watching/mingling. Since my initial visit, I bring everyone I possibly can to enjoy this gem. read more

I had dinner here with my family last night and the service and food was excellent. Our server was so sweet and patient with us because we didn't know what to order. She gave great recommendations and always checked in with us. My in-laws were here from Hawaii and was impressed how tasty and fresh the sushi was and for a great price. Would definitely recommend to try and go back again! read more

I was greeted quickly as soon as I walked into Red Ginger and shown to booth! Tia, my server, was very friendly and timely to get my order! I had their Chicken Teriyaki with White rice, Miso soup and Ginger salad! All were delicious especially the chicken teriyaki- large slices of well prepared chicken breast over vegetables, lots of sauce and served piping hot! 1st trip to Red Ginger- try it, you'll like it read more

Got the chicken teriyaki bento box that came with gyoza, dumpling, salad, miso soup, rice, and choice of sushi all for under $10.....So happy that I discovered bento boxes such a great deal and very filling. The chicken teriyaki was very good, large portions and they added some mushrooms too which was a nice touch that isn't always included. Dumplings were very good, can't go wrong getting those. The sushi was the worst part, had a fishy and warm taste, not sure why that was but it wasn't good to eat. I would go back again when in town, the service was prompt, the atmosphere is nice, and food comes out fast. They seem to have a good thing going here. read more

The tempura udon was comparable to any Japanese restaurant in Los Angles. It was very good and flavorful with wonderfully fried shrimp tempura. We also ordered the chicken katsu.

The One And Only Place to get Very Very Good SUSHI. The rice is well made, the toppings fresh and clean..Nigiri, maki rolls, Sashimi etc. Take out for now. Get the lunch sushi special and add some. I've eaten Sushi for over 25 years East to West Coast....This is the real deal. RED GINGER MAKES ME HAPPY TO THE CORE!!! Can't wait for the in house dining to reopen....btw...there is more than sushi...FULL BAR + more!!! read more

Super good!!! The sushi was amazing and the service was as well. We were well taken care of! Would totally recommend if you love sushi cooked or raw. Great selection read more

I went here for dinner around 630pm on a weekday and it was absolutely dead. We ordered and put food came right away. As soon as 7 hit, the place was busy! So, if you're going to dinner during the week, go earlier to beat the rush. The service was good and the food was good as well. As far as quality of fish and sushi, it could be better. Coming from the east coast, the seafood in the quad cities just doesn't compare. read more

GREAT food! Best tofu dish I've ever eaten! Very quick service, excellent food and very glad I ate here on my business trip. Worth the stop.

Definitely the best sushi place in the Quad Cities. Closed for indoor dining but it's their business and they can run it how they want to. Always very friendly to me and the food is always fresh. read more

Excellent sushi with a broad menu of choices - nice family atmosphere. The service was excellent as well!

Best sushi in the QC. Good prices on combo deals, especially lunch-time "boxes". Delightful waitresses and mellow ambience. Located across from Burlington. Update. In addition to the three-roll Maki lunch special I also had a seared Tuna appetizer. The tuna was fresh, the searing done the way I like it and the peppering around the edges was correct. Delicious. They have Wifi but you have to ask the hostess for the pw. read more

Please raise your hand if you've ever been treated like shit at Red Ginger. I know I'm not the only one. For a birthday, my friend and I went to RG for a late lunch. Out of all of the empty tables in the restaurant, the woman whom I believe is either the owner or in management, sat us at the only table within feet of the kitchen. Kindly, we asked to switch to a different spot and was met with what can only be described as a tantrum. Eye rolling, audible sounds of displeasure, menus tossed across the table. I truly expected her to stomp away. Lucky us, she was our server too! Now in the past I have worked for many years in Quad City restaurants, and I have never once approached a table and said "what do you want? ". You can imagine how pleasant she was when we ordered two drinks from their own bar menu. The story didn't get any better from here, more of exactly the same. But I'll finish with this, This hateful lunch was 7 months ago...I'm still irritated enough to write this today. read more

I seriously love this place. Not cheap, but a new experience every time I order a new sushi roll. Had to update and add another picture! I have had a lot of (good) sushi over the course of time, and I do have a basis with which to compare. I would not say this is where I would go for Japanese food (if I weren't looking for sushi) but I do put this at the top of my list for Sushi. YUM. My kids like it here. It's not cheap, because it's sushi, but my sushi-hating daughter is still happy with a hibachi plate, and everyone loves an appetizer plate with edamame (soy beans)! read more

Really a great place! I got a bento box lunch with tempura shrimp, spicy crab roll and shumai. The spicy crab roll and shumai along with the rice that comes with were fantastic! Not too fond of the tempura shrimp as it lacked in flavor. Our waitress was around but didn't seem like she wanted to be there that day. One time I assumed she was speaking to us because there was no one else around. read more

I just went out with my boyfriend tonight and they have the worst service I've ever experienced. The woman serving us was very not patient and she rushed through the process. We wanted to order some alcoholic drinks for celebration and she checked our IDs multiple times (my boyfriend turned 21 this March). She kept saying we're underage and asked if we're actually 21. After confirming that we're 21, we finally got to order drinks. Then, when we' were just about to look at the menu to order food, she came to us TWICE to ask what we wanted to order. She never had a good attitude either. She wasn't being rude or anything, but she shown clearly that she didn't want to serve us. read more

At 3pm with the restaurant with only 6 people my partner and I entered and after patiently waited for the hostess (2-3 min) requested a booth- we were advised angrily "no not for you...you sit here"- pointing to a table in the middle of the other patrons. We again asked if we could have a booth or sit at the bar- she simply walked away...we departed read more

First Time Here And This Place Was Pretty Good. Great Drinks And Good Food. There Was A Little Wait For The Section Where You Can Sit Without Shoes But The Staff Was Very Friendly And Called Us When A Table Was Available. The Food Was Good,We Had A Variety Of Shrimp Tempura,Salmon And Chicken.I Personally Had Salmon Skin Roll Which Costs $4.75 And You Get Six Sushi Rolls.I Also Had The Malibu Bay Breeze Cocktail Which Was $6.00 And Super GOOD. The Cocktails Are Strong And Not For The Weak..So Beware.All In All This Is A Good Place To Eat With Family And Friends. read more

Shumai appetizer: Shrimp and vegetables steamed dumpling. $4.25 I enjoyed the dumplings very much. The shrimp flavor was stronger than I expected. This is a good thing. Very tasty! Spicy Maki Combo: spicy tuna, spicy yellowtail, and spicy salmon. $15.25 This entrée from the sushi bar was very good. Served with slices of ginger and of course a dollop of wasabi, these 18 rolls hit the spot. The yellowtail were exceptional! I was not a big fan of the salmon but it was still decent. I would suggest this place for lunch or dinner. They have a full bar in there if you want to drink some adult beverages. I would love to visit again! read more

We decided to give Red Ginger a chance because we love sushi and this particular place has great reviews when it comes to their sushi. We loved the decor when we walked in and we were seated quickly. We loved the staff and the establishment was very clean and we loved the atmosphere. We ordered the yam tempura for our appetizer and oh my gosh it was delicious. Then the sushi came... One of us ordered a basic chicken tempura roll. What we got was a roll with chicken tempura, lettuce, cucumber on the inside and masago (fish eggs) on the outside. This is not a basic chicken tempura roll. And the person who ordered it is somewhat picky and this was not what she wanted. No where on the menu did it say there was any of the extra ingredients included in what was supposed to be a basic chicken tempura roll. Another ordered an eel roll and a Manhattan roll. The eel roll was very warm which was weird. The Manhattan roll was overwhelmingly fishy and it made me nauseous with the first piece. Couldn't finish it because it was so bad. I'm unsure why it was so fishy and I'm now glad I didn't order anything with raw ingredients. Another nit picky complaint was when picking the roll up with our chopsticks the piece would literally just fall apart. Which, for us, means poorly made sushi. Overall, we decided a 1 star review was best. Yes the atmosphere and appetizer were great. But the Sushi, which is their main dish, was a severed disappointment. Sadly we will probably not be back here. read more
