Food and service is excellent! Would highly recommend this place to anyone wanting Thai food!

Excellent Thai dishes! My curry was wonderful and authentically prepared. I ordered a spice level three, which was sufficiently spicy for my taste (my nose was only slightly running). Superb and friendly service. Leisurely atmosphere, so be prepared to linger. read more

This was our first time there so we had no idea what to expect. The ambience is very nice Thai decor. Very nice touch bringing warm hand, towels, and orange infused water. Along with the menus they brought a sample of three soup bases to sample. You can select your food to be prepared on a spiciness scale that runs from 1-10 to suit your taste. The menu is huge, the food delicious and their service was excellent. read more

Delicious food! Great service! The range of spiciness is 1 to 10 which is great for customizing your spice level. Thai coffee hit the spot. The food was just as good as it looks My partner enjoyed the decorations and elephants in the room It was clean, not too loud, and people were spaced apart when they could. The tables are not too close to each other either. read more

Food is amazing. Great ambience. The last three times we went we were stuck in the corner and forgotten. No refills of water, no warm towels, as in the past and we sat waiting way too long for our check. We left feeling devalued. Think it will be a while till we try again :( Sorry read more

First time guests. What a wonderful little restaurant. From the moment you walk in the door you know this is going to be a good experience. Bright, clean, welcoming table settings. Waitress brought a flight of soup samples for each of us, along with eucalyptus scented warm damp towels. Service was great and food was marvelous. Wished we had tried this place before. This visit was a plan B choice after first choice was closed. One of best if not the best Asian restaurant in the area. Try it you will not regret it. read more

Great place. Good ambience. Modern and clean venue. Love the tasters they bring out when you come in to help people are not familiar with the cuisine understand the basic broths. They even bring out warm towels to clean your hands and face with! Dishes are huge. From soup to appetizer to main courses, portions were plenty. If anything the side order of rice was minuscule for the amount you pay for it. All the food tasted very good. We got several different plates and the only critique is the salt and pepper shrimp was very soggy. Traditionally it should be crunchy. Otherwise cannot complain. Do plan to be back. Service was great. We need to try desserts next time. Happy eating! read more

I literally am so thankful for this place being so close by! Atmosphere: Nicely decorated and clean, including the bathrooms. Seating is spread out but it still gets quite noisy in here. I love how they give you steamed towels to clean your hands when you sit down! Food: Just YUM. I have ordered at least 7 items off the menu and all of them have been a dream. My mouth is watering just thinking about the food here. They give you a free sample of three different broths when you come to the table and I could drink a gallon of each. Staff: The owner is so sweet and even though they are always a bit understaffed they are so pleasant. I would not come here on a tight timeline though. read more

Thai Ginger Bistro - Crab Cheese Pillows - Thai Near Me - Appleton, Wisconsin

Amazing food! Location is ok, for a place with this good of food it would be nice to find a more picturesque location. Service is average, sometimes good sometime you wait a bit & only average. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants! Never disappoints, however, it can be busy. We usually go early or week days to avoid crowds.

Absolutely terrible service. After being seated, we waited 20 minutes and were never even acknowledged. We left and will not be back.

Loved our waitress! Fun and cordial. Also, the food and service were Great!! Warm and welcome atmosphere. Good wine, too! read more

The Yelp description at the top of this page does not do Thai Ginger Bistro justice by saying g it is in a strip mall. True, there are three or four businesses adjacent to it, but the restaurant's serene interior conveys much more atmosphere than the term "strip mall" implies. The service is excellent. The menu is extensive and leads to amazing meals. Don't miss the Thai coffee or tea, which are served elegantly in tall glasses. In fact, most items have beautiful presentation as well as delicious taste. This is our go-to when meeting friends for lunch or dinner. read more

Food is exceptional! Friendly and accommodating! Love this place! Our favorite restaurant in the Fox Valley!

The Service and Food here are absolutely phenomenal. My favorite is the Summer Rolls with a peanut sauce I would get in fight for!!! The Drunken Noodles and Esan Noodles are my favorites !! read more

Absolutely amazing food! Love their thai tea, favorite of all locations I go to. Their service is great however it takes a while to get the food when you're super eager to eat. Love the space. read more

My wife and I (local residents) have visited Thai Ginger Bistro a number of times in the past and have always enjoyed the dining experience. It was lunchtime, so we brought friends from out of state to enjoy some Thai cuisine. Both my wife and my friend's wife (both Thai and excellent Thai cooks) said their expectations were met. We each had different menu items. Even though the wait staff was a bit challenged with the almost full house, the wait time was not too bad. Paiboon and Penny always do a great job of giving a great cultural food experience. Our friends loved both the food and the dining experience and said it is one they will remember for a long time. read more

Excellent food choices, and quality ingredients. Lots of good Thai standards. I want to go back and try some more!

Who knew the best Thai food in Wisconsin was in a small town 90 minutes north of us! Holy Bangkok this is good food. Fresh, traditional, epic, and authentic. The three of us lost our damn minds here. And, given we spent several weeks exploring Thailand just six months ago and have tasted from the Grail, we have very high expectations. Even our forays into Chicago have been hit or miss. Forget Madison or Milwaukee for Thai. This is it. The green curry had flavor sorely missing from the typical blandness one usually gets. The Massaman curry was A+, the fried tofu was up there with the finest. Thai ice tea with real coconut milk? Yes, please. And, a really cool host who knows what makes a stellar restaurant experience. Move closer to us in Milwaukee, you'll make a mint. read more

We happened to be in Appleton during lunch and stumbled upon this restaurant. The food was fantastic! It will be a go-to whenever we want Thai. read more

What a great place. The curry is incredible! Generous portions -ourselves, and many other people left with lunch for the next day! The service was great even though they were busy and were obviously shorthanded. It was very good service and prices are very reasonable as well- love the decorations and the general vibe of the restaurant! read more

Thai Ginger Bistro - Yellow Gaeng Massaman Curry - Thai Near Me - Appleton, Wisconsin

Gluten free due to Celiac disease. I've eaten here many times and never get sick. Service is good, even when busy. Lots of options to eat and drink. Small dining room but decorative and very clean. read more

Food was excellent, service was excellent, and the ambiance was that of a higher end restaurant without being pretentious or overpriced. I got the the red curry and it was absolutely fabulous and the portion size was generous. Entrees I saw ranged in price from $13-$20 with most being ~$18. For the quality of food and the experience, I think this is a more than fair price. I'd even dare to call it a good deal. The restaurant itself seems to specialize in their soups as they give you a sample of their three available soup bases prior to ordering. They were all excellent and I would recommend trying the soup though I didn't get the chance to. The server also asked if we had any allergies as we were ordering which is just a polite policy. Overall, I would highly recommend this place. The food is quality, the kitchen is visible from the dining area and is clean, the service is polite and quick, and the pricing is fair. read more

The service was mediocre... if you weren't a regular they didn't pay much attention to you. I got the lychee duck curry and that tasted ok as well. They did not give you NEARLY as much rice as the entree. So if you want a 1:1 make sure you order extra. The ambiance was nice but pretty busy so kinda noisy. read more

Good is awesome and the service excellent. We had the drunken noodles and pad Thai. Loved both but when we went back, we both opted for the drunken noodles. Fantastic! Will be back soon! read more

This place has some of the best Thai food this side of the Pacific and Appleton was lucky enough to be chosen as the site for this delicious new business. Carefully and expertly crafted with all the expected Thai seasonings, spices, and herbs that should be a part of any Thai cuisine. A patron need not worry about having cheap food made with mixes and instant curry paste here. Oh no. Every sauce is prepared completely from scratch just they way it ought to be. And once you are fortunate enough to have tasted, you can definitely tell the difference. Views of the open kitchen concept allows diners a complete view of the chefs and waitstaff busily preparing every meal. Hot damp towels delivered to your table is a nice touch to the presentation to follow. Each and every dish is a visual work of art assuring the eater that the taste will be just as exciting as it appears. As a Thai food fanatic, I am thoroughly please with the quality of food and service provided by Thai Ginger Bistro. As their popularity continues to grow, I would strongly suggest calling ahead for a reservation before showing up or you may be in for a slight wait. read more

Food and service were both great. I'm a first time customer in this place. The lady, general manager is very likable and knows her customers by name read more

We get together with friends every year on January 4. I call 4 weeks ahead to make a reservation, I said my name 10 people 5:30on that date, the owner said ok. Then she called on Dec. 23 or around there and said she had to change my reservation because they were closed on December 24. I reminded she who I was and that my reservation was on the 4. I then talked to her 3 more times after that including 4:00 the night before. She even repeated it to me. We got there the next night. And they said I didn't have a reservation. I tried to talk to the owner who I talked to all 4 times and she would not talk to me. The hostess was very nice and tried to talk to her, and she wouldn't talk to her either. So we were lucky that we got 10 people in at p.f. Chang, they were great. I just feel that's no way to run a business. She just lost 10 customers. read more

Best Thai food I've had in years! You won't regret stopping in. My new fav We had pad see ew and pad Thai with the chicken satay and lemongrass soup. superb!! Awesome service too. read more

There are a few things that could make this restaurant better. First, it's pretty nice and open inside and the staff is friendly. The prices for pretty much everything is a little high. I'd say everything is about $1-$2 higher than expected, all things considered. The portion sizes aren't any bigger than similar restaurants. I ordered the steak salad ($18), pad thai ($14), green curry ($15), crab ragoons (4 for $8) and summer rolls (4 pieces, not rolls, $8). I was instantly annoyed when I got home to find out I didn't get 4 summer rolls, but 2 that were cut until 4 pieces. I felt cheated and misrepresented, especially since it cost $8. The green curry (more like beige in color) was really good. The pad thai was ok. The crab rangoons were soggy from the start and just ok. Their sweet and sour sauce had a strong ginger taste to it. The summer rolls were standard. The steak salad was pretty good but hard to justify at $18 in my opinion. I know some people are concerned about COVID, but I'm really not; however, it is worth noting that the staff member I interacted with wore a mask on her chin only the whole time I paid and got my food... the whole time. It never covered her mouth or nose at all... if that matters to you. She was friendly though. I'm not sure I'll be going back any time soon. There are so many great restaurants in the area to choose from. If the prices came down, I'd recommend it, but for now, the best thai food around here is Bangkok in Oshkosh. read more

We've eaten a Thai, Ginger Bistro many times, and also had takeout. The service the food the atmosphere is consistent every single time.

Absolutely the worst place in Appleton to call if you want to place an order for pick up. Time and again we have called them and not only do they not answer the phone, they never return the call to your message you leave on their answering machine. If they don't want to be bothered with pick up calls then maybe they should just remove the phone completely! read more

Amazing food and service! I was very surprised walking into this place. It didn't look like much from the outside, and it was very empty on the inside, but upon walking in, I was immediately seated and given a warm towel + 3 delicious soup samples. Talk about classy! I had the Lychee Duck, which was a little expensive but well worth it. Definitely one of the best and most unique dishes that I've ever had and it made my day. The presentation was also beautiful and much better than I expected. I travel for work, so unfortunately I do not come this way often... but when I do, I will definitely always make sure to stop here! read more

Food is decent but portion is small for the price don't recommend if you're hungry hungry. Appleton has better options like Mai deli or Hmong express, if you're craving Thai/Hmong inspired foods. Place is cleaned and nicely decorated though. read more

I have so many great things to say about my experience tonight! The health protocols, including ample spacing between tables and clean feeling overall, made us feel comfortable dining in. Their kitchen was well-lit, immaculate, and FULL of fresh veggies. The chef said their veggies are mostly locally grown and he tries hard to provide as many fresh ingredients as possible. Shortly after being seated we were served water and sampling's of three soups. All were amazing! Their menu is extremely detailed, so if you don't like something (like fish sauce, for example), you know to order something else. I also wanted to try about twenty different dishes because the combination of ingredients got me so excited. We ended up with chicken satay, a soup (#10), veggies with peanut sauce, and a orange chicken type dish. The chicken satay was good, but the entrees were beyond flavorful. It was just a perfect experience and I 100% recommend. read more
