-ONE PARAGRAPH REVIEW- Sweet Ginger is always consistent- friendly faces, generous portions, and tasty Chinese fast food. I'm a General Gao/Tso kind of guy and I personally love the flavor and added peppers and broccoli in their General sauce. I find it perfectly spicy. I often get tofu too- and the way they fry theirs up is perfect, crispy on the outside and moist in the middle, and it's done better than other Chinese joints in the area. 4.5 stars rounded up to 5, because while I've never had bad food here, they've sometimes, a few times in fact, forgotten to include the rice or sides in my takeout order, so make sure you check yours before leaving! read more

Sweet Ginger - General Tofu, Chicken Teriyaki, Vegetable roll - Chinese Near Me - Fairhaven, Massachusetts

Got the chicken pad Thai lunch special and it was affordable and yummy. I just wish it had a bit more chicken in it. Decent for takeout though! I've eaten in here before, but not in a while. I did enjoy the service and food when eating there though. It's a good spot for Asian and Thai especially since there are less options in the area than there used to be. read more

The food was absolutely delicious! The staff were incredibly kind and gave great recommendations. The portions are very generous, and even after a 40-minute drive home, the food was still warm, fresh, and not soggy at all. The owner is such a sweetheart, and the restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere. I highly recommend stopping by the next time you're craving amazing Chinese food! (Best crab Rangoons I've had in a while if you're into those!) read more

Food absolutely delicious. Perfect fried rice and egg rolls Waitress could not have been nicer read more

The food here is always really good. This review is specifically about their veggie rolls. We Ordered to take them home and reheated them in the air fryer. They reminded me of homemade lumpia (Malaysian style spring rolls) rather than boring standard spring rolls. The filling was fresh and delicious and the wrapper was crispy and not at all greasy. They were absolutely amazing!! We will always add the veggie spring rolls to our orders in the future. read more

Worst! I placed an order and called to cancel it right away and they played the game of you have to go through DoorDash even though door dash already told me they refused to cancel it or give my $$$ back so then I asked DoorDash to deliver it to the closet hospital or fire department and they stated Sweet Ginger would not let that happen so $140 of food is just sitting there if your around please go to sweet ginger and ask them for some free food its on me. read more

this little place is awesome! the food is very yummy (i really enjoy the general tsos with white rice and the linguica eggrolls are to die for) but what really makes the experience is the service. the owner, tammy, is the absolute sweetest person in the world and her serving skills are off the charts. i highly recommend trying this place! read more

I see that SG gets ratings ranging from being quite lambasted to people lovin' it. I can dig the dichotomy. Let's peep this out, aye? The decor is pretty minimal. Some cool Oriental stuff at the entrance and the bar is fairly pimped out but the rest is plain-jane stuff. It's OK but lacks the old-school red-leather booth and gold-dragon vibe. The menu is wicked extensive for such a no-frills place. All sorts of subgums and stuff. Kung Pao is called Gung Pao here -must be a regional thing? We ordered a Toyko Blaster and a Mai Tai. The Blaster was phun and had garnish but the Mai Tai didn't have no garnish. No frills, remember? The drinks were tasty and fairly strong -especially the Tai. Moey ordered the Lunch Special which was Wings, Goons, PFR and Teriyaki Beef Stix. Admittedly the PFR was "the usual" old and cold. The Wings were teenie AF. The Goons were decent and were quite yellow due to coloring to make them Festivus looking. The TBS were OK -probably a "meh" rating. I got the Bird's Nest which was scrump AF and wicked copious. Lots of Beef and Chicken and "Chinese Veggies" as described on the menu including Pennsylvania Mushrooms. The nest was a Taro Root nest which did look like a bird nest and was interesting visually and phun to eat. All was slathered in a Yum-Yum Brown Boom-Boom/Yo-Yo type sauce. Additionally, my One was quite hangry and ordered up more food similar to her first order. The food arrived and it was similar to her previous order but with Fried Shrimp. She ate it. We figured it's the holidays, so we got two more drinks. Moey got another Mai Tai -this time she asked for garnish, and I got an Alabama Slammer (a very ancient and traditional Chinese drink dating far back to the Rang-Tang Dynasty) and it was served in a tiki mug with garnish. Prices are quite reasonable here -like as little as 7.50 a drink. I would say some things are good here and other things not so much. The waitress was absolutely wonderful and was multi-tasking wicked big time. I do wish the PFR was freshly made or at least conscientiously reheated. This very much adds a bummer element to an otherwise pretty good place. This is more than a mere peccadillo. This heinous offensive has been ubiquitous in many Chinese places dating way back to caveman times. It's no bueno. PS -I find it interesting that Portuguese influence has infused itself all the way into Oriental places in this area as they proudly featured Linguica Fried Rice and other Chinese dishes containing this atypical ingredient. Alrighty then... read more

I've lived in this area all my life. We have many restaurants for a small town. Sweet Ginger is easily located on Rt. 6. Has loads of parking. Takeout is prepared quickly and hot. Decent prices and cocktails too. Open seating makes for comfortable dining room. Inside is not that busy so it's great because no wait. Lots of good food but I suggest the "Chefs Specials" The shrimp in lobster sauce is awesome. Be prepared for leftovers. Check it out! read more

My daughters and I stopped here in desperation because we were starving. Nice staff, good service, gross food. Inexpensive, but gross. Tasteless egg roll, tasteless wontons. My daughter got greasy gross chicken fingers. Typical American style Chinese food I guess. if that's what you're into it's probably fine. read more

Typical ambiance and decor of a Chinese takeout place which also has table seating. We arrived early in the afternoon and were seated promptly. Full bar - but we didn't have anything. Denise liked it because it had bone-in ribs. The "steamed" dumplings seemed to have been boiled ( like for wonton soup ). They were ok. The General Gao's chicken was crunchy and sweet. The meal was ok. read more

The food is amazing! when ever I have a family gathering we always come here for dinner! The service is great also.

Not good is being kind. We got two take out meals. Both went in the trash. Teriyaki beef rolled asaparus was described as thinly sliced beef wrapped around asparagus. It was not thinly sliced. It was tough, burned on the edges and wrapped around CANNED asparagus. It was served on some lettuce, one carrot slice and a piece of broccoli which was probably the only fresh thing in the meal. I spit out the only piece I tried as did my friend. His chicken and peanuts was only slightly more edible. But it was over-spiced, lacked any flavor aside from red hot peppers and it too went in the trash. Even the rice was sticky and the fortune cookies stale. I have no idea how this place stays in business but they'll never get a dime out out me again! Yuk! read more

The linguica fried brown rice is our favorite along with the chicken chow mein! Whenever we visit the area, this is our go to take out!!

I have eaten here a few times since they've been open and this local restaurant is one of my favorites! The Pan Fried Hunan Egg Noodle is always excellent! Everything included in the Pu Pu Platter is delicious, hot and the servings are huge. This was my first time trying the Pad Thai here and it was just okay and they do not include hot mustard to your order unless you ask. Overall the food is delicious, good service and we will definitely be back! read more

Almost perfect. I moved the area in 2015 and have been searching for a decent Chinese restaurant. How did I not find this sooner? I ordered the Mongolian steak, the Japanese house udon noodle, and the Peking noodle. I requested that all three dishes be served extra spicy. The Peking noodle was a huge disappointment very pedestrian not spicy definitely will not order this again. The Mongolian steak was cooked to perfection. It was tender flavorful amazingly good. Again, I did request it to be extra spicy and it was not and that's why it was a little bit of a disappointment. The Japanese house udon noodle was fantastic! It was spicy flavorful and a dish that I could eat every day for the rest of my life. Fantastic! read more

I'll say it. This is really is the last great American Chinese restaurant in the Bristol County area (in my opinion). When I was growing up in the 90's, most places made their food this way. Fresh ingredients and food made to order. Crispy Chicken Fingers that release juicy chicken when you crack them in half. Char-broiled Beef Teriyaki and Boneless Spareribs that are closer to authentic Char-siu. Fried Rice that is tossed with fresh onions, minced pork and bean sprouts when you order it, and General Tso that is actually spicy, in a sweet and tangy ginger glaze, nevermind the fact that the portions are absolutely huge. There are simply no Chinese places in the area that are putting out this level of quality and consistency. (I'm looking at you Gumbo's in Dartmouth, Oriental Pearl in Westport.) The food here is second to none and if you're like me and starting to find that your local chinese places have tanked in quality, come here to remember what great weekday chinese used to be like. The difference is night and day. read more

Fairhaven is not a big town. For this kind of genuine cookery to be a 2 minute drive from Hampton Inn was a real find. I notice that in all the reviews of this place, people who asked for genuine Chinese cookery, Americanized Chinese, were the most happy. I ordered my go-to, Mapo Tofu. It's a tofu dish in brown sauce with minced pork. I got it with brown rice instead of traditional boiled. The Mapo Tofu beats the odds of small town Chinese by not being the tiniest bit greasy, and very flavorful. The brown rice was perfect. A gal working the bar and the front of house was very pleasant and efficient. It seemed to be a nice spot for locals to pop in for a nice martini or Chinese specialty cocktail, which is what I witnessed. The lighting was just right. If I locally, I'd certainly be a regular. read more

Sweet Sweet Ginger! Let me start by saying I did NOT expect this to be as amazing as it was. First of all food was ready for take out in 15 minutes. (Not sure if that's a good thing or bad thing. Some great food comes out of this place though! Amazing Chicken Teriyaki, Pepper Steak, and Pork Spare Ribs. Crab Rangoon was delicious and soft (I hate when it's over cooked). Food was exceptional and service was great and easy. Have enough left overs for lunch the next day with a $10 meal. Will come back soon. 4 Stars because Pork Fried Rice wasn't as good as the main course and this is my favorite part of Chinese food. But well worth the try! read more

Sweet Ginger - Chinese Near Me - Fairhaven, Massachusetts

I've experience better food on previous visits. The back dining room had a few large parties with the servers handling the front and back dining areas. Our server was as sweet as could be and explained that she had a large table in the back that need their food served. When it came time for our food delivery she was now clearing and boxing their leftovers. The timing of our Fish and Chip and Pu Pu for two was taking some time for delivery. The red flag went up that it was sitting in the pick up window. Sure enough. The Pu Pu was just that with everything being a Pu Pu room temp. The Fish was hot but the French Fries a Pu Pu cold. So very disappointing. Where is a Cathay Temple caliber restaurant in this area? read more

Stopped in for a quick lunch. I had the Gung Pao chicken lunch special ($6.45). This is just Gung Pao over white rice, with no apps or soup. This was quite a healthy portion of food for less than $7. The dish had really nice flavor and a combination of thigh and breast meat. The vegetables had a nice crunch and the rice was very fresh. I had a beer with my lunch which was ice cold. If I lived closer I'd consider this a common destination for either dine in or take out. From what I noticed, this place is VERY clean. read more

Sad fried rice had nothing in it but dead sprouts /boneless spare ribs were like beef jerky and shrimp w/lobster sauce /the shrimp were soft and going bad so for 38 $ was worth about 20 but most of it still have bc it was not edible read more

The Chicken Pad Thai was simply outstanding for such an unbelievably low price as well. That a restaurant in 2018 can have such a great sized dish on their menu for only $7.15 is really something. We'll add to that an immensely comfortable seating and a terribly clean place with exceptional service. This is a hard establishment to NOT recommend, the menu is that solid for anyone with such a great sampling of Asian styles. read more

This place is amazing. The food quality and portions are great. Everything is fresh and very delicious! I honestly can't praise it enough!

Sweet Ginger is the best chinese take out around. The Food tastes fresh and is cooked well (spring rolls and fried appetizers are never greasy). We will continue to order from them. read more

This was soooo disappointing. I've had them once before but tonight's pu pu platter was DISGUSTING. By the time I got home from my 10 min drive, the brown bag was saturated in grease. The egg roll wasn't edible. One bite and all I could taste was GREASE. The wonton was old. The bbq beef ok. The chicken and shrimp didn't taste old but super greasy as well. I understand that Chinese food could be greasey but this was to a whole other level. Inedible. The only thing that was good in the pu pu platter was the chicken wing. So disappointing. I won't go back. read more

If I could give -5 stars I would. If you take a look at my previous review from 2 YEARS AGO which was not at all a bad review about this establishment. I mention how they add the tip into the bill. Well after I gave them that review I went into the restaurant 2 years ago & the owner confronted me about it. After the owner confronted me about it I stopped dining here. Well my family still lives in the area & they stop in every once in a blue moon. Every time they dined here they noticed a tip added in on the bill. My mom noticed they don't mention on the menu or anywhere in the restaurant they add the tip on the bill. Recently my family went & asked the waitress why they add the tip in. The waitress said "The owner told all the waitresses to add the tip on the bill when you guys come here because you don't tip very well." At that point my family wanted to talk to the owner which she threatened to call the police. All of this over a 3 star yelp review 2 years ago. You got to be kidding me. So beware if you don't tip more than 20% they will add a tip onto your bill. read more

This is the first time we ordered from this place and it was very disappointing. The beef teriyaki sticks have no flavor and it was also like chewing on gum. Whether it was chicken fingers or crab Rangoon anything that was fried had a weird after taste from the oil they use. The chicken when bitting into it on any of the meals was very dry and had crunchy hard (cartilage) pieces. We were grossed out. Needles to say we spent a lot of money to feed the 5 of us and not one of us was happy with the food. If you want good food try Mee Hongs in New Bedford.. you won't be disappointed. Sweet Ginger not worth it. read more

Vegan review: finally came here with some fiends. The food was pretty good. Standard options for a Chinese food restaurant but they also has Thai options. I order the Szechuan tofu and added brown rice for an extra $1.50. It was pretty good, the veggies were fresh and the sauce at a nice flavor. I will definitely come back. read more

Sweet ginger has good food, but Wii only go back when it is dine in. I ordered egg foo yong, fried shrimp and a combo plate. I called just to let them know they forgot the white rice with egg foo yong, they said it doesn't come with it. I said it doesn't come with anything ?? They said it comes with gravy,, i couldn't believe it. Then I opened up my pork fried won tons,, surprise they had linguica in them,, ugh! Sorry , they went in the garbage. So I would be back for dine in , but not take out. Someone does not pay attention to the orders. read more

Sadly my fiance and I wont be coming Sweet Ginger again. My fiance otdered a combination plate that comes with chicken chow mein He ordered the same plate on 2 separate days. Both times they forgot the gravy for the chow mein. Twice in a row. We told them about it the first time and they did it again the very next order. read more

Hit or miss. Sometimes really good and sometimes really greasy. On the Southcoast there isn't a lot of choices for decent Chinese food so we usually order from here. One note on customer service. A couple years ago they use to always forget things in your take out order but they got much better at it. Recently it happened a couple more times. They left an item out which was really important to one of the party to have so I had to drive back. It's annoying and my dinner got cold while traveling to get it. They could have easily given a coupon or another app to apologize for the inconvenience but no......kinda kills the fun out of take out. Oh and the item was dripping with grease and that wasn't hot either lol. read more

I'm surprised this place hasn't been reviewed before. I kept driving by this on rt.6 (huttleston ave) and never bothered to go inside until this past week. According to their website they've been around since the summer of 2008. The restaurant was very clean and I was greeted by a hostess in front of the bar. There was a large saltwater fish tank and plenty of seating from booths to tables. The menu was extensive with many choices and combination platters. I ordered the sweet and sour chicken and my boyfriend ordered the crab ragoon, general tso, fried rice combination platter. We were both more than pleased. The service was extremely fast even though the restaurant was crowded for a Friday night around 6pm. We were in and out of the restaurant in just around a half an hour. For the two of us with no alcoholic beverages ordered, the total was around $16. Excellent prices for the size of meal we received. There was even room to take some home and have seconds. I really look forward to returning to this Chinese restaurant soon, next time I might even try take out and experience their wonderful food at home. read more

I got to this place in Christmas Day and I ordered the same food what always order #10 / #15 / #17 /#20 and a kid menu chicken wings with fries and 5 cokes and this price come to a $76.30 with is unbelievable because I never pay that amount I called to the restaurant to speak with some one to explain to me how I get my credit card for that amount and the people rude in the phone tell me because I exchange some substitutes for the plate no make sense because I don't change nothing so the plates is around 10.50 with taxes I say 11 something and the coke no go to 30 dollars so is no make sense .. people check your price before you pay bad customer service ... read more

Only been here a few times but the food is always good and the service is service. Pad Thai is always a good choice along with a tasty scorpion bowl. Awkward parking lot on the front but good sizes lot in the back place is always busy but never packed. read more

Sweet Ginger - Scorpion bowl for 2 for 1! - Chinese Near Me - Fairhaven, Massachusetts

Gross. For some reason the name suggests more of a Thai theme to me, but alas, this place was no different than your average sub-par, all-Asian cuisines served, restaurant. I should have known better than to order moo shi when the last time I'd had it I lived in downtown DC. It was overly smothered in sauce and SO so salty. But the kicker was the "pancakes" that were nothing more than tortillas. TORTILLAS! Really?! I don't think there's any more explanation necessary. read more

Got food on DoorDash, the fried wontons had pork (instead of the cream cheese I hate) and were cooked perfectly. The pork chow mein had huge pieces of pork and the pork fried rice was tasty as well. I will definately reorder, the best chinese food I have had in a long time. read more

We ordered take out fro here last night. Egg rolls were obviously reheated, sopping in oil. And my main dish Szechuan shrimp, again reheated, limp vegetables and no spice. Very disappointed. read more

My take-out was hot, fresh and arrived lightening fast. The food was average American style Chinese. It will do in a pinch but I would not make a special trip there. If you go to eat in, wear a sweater. They keep the a/c on very cold. read more

The food is here great. Definitely a good place to eat in Massachusetts. The Chinese food here is well cooked and the decor is pretty decent. read more
