One of our go-to spots in Franklin! We come to Wild Ginger at least once a month and always start with the dynamite shrimp -- it's a must. The Havana Roll is our favorite, and the drink selection is solid. When the weather's nice, we love sitting on the patio and enjoying the live music. Great food, great vibes, and always consistent. Highly recommend! read more

Awesome Asian fusion spot located in Franklin TN! I was impressed with the food, service, and chill vibes of this place. They even have live outdoor music on the patio, which was a cool addition. We came to celebrate a birthday and they were able to accommodate a large party of 12 people. For sushi, I got the Crazy Cow without cream cheese since I don't love cream cheese in my sushi. Inside was shrimp tempura and on top was filet mignon. Usually I don't think steak/beef should go on sushi so I was hesitant but boy was I surprised at how good it was. It also had some sort of mango vinaigrette and eel sauce and it paired very well. There was so much flavor in one bite of the sushi. Their sushi rolls are yummy, well made, and fresh. Not pictured, but a must-get for appetizer is the calamari. Portions were huge and the calamari was cooked perfectly. Great dish to share with the table as an appetizer. The texture was perfect as well, no too chewy, but the right texture each bite. It was delicious. For cocktails, they had some unique flavors. I opted for an espresso martini and that was really good. read more

Clean, friendly environment off the beaten path. Great food and personable wait staff.

Excellent cuisine, service and ambience...wait staff was on point...noise was muted unlike other high end establishments

Pretty good. Pick up service is spectacular. Food is pretty good. Smaller portions and wished they had mare curries and more variety of vegetables. Not green beans? All in all pretty solid and very friendly. read more

Great Place for lunch or dinner. The menu has recently been updated with new items. Great place for a business lunch as well.

Food is consistent good. Service is friendly ad fast. Place was nice, but needs a bit of updating. Windows look out ion an empty concrete pool. read more

Great food and Bret our server was right on with our food orders. We had the sashimi platters and Scottish Salmon. Food was fresh which is key to good sushi. I loved the grilled salmon w/out the sauce. We were too full to order dessert but this restaurant is perfect for any special meal. We will be back and the chef catered to our special food requests! Lovely dinner with our long time friends! read more

A FAMILIAR FAVORITE LOSING ITS EDGE For nearly two years, Wild Ginger has been a dependable standby for my wife and me. A place where the sashimi arrived with quiet confidence, and the service matched the mood. But on our latest visit, a birthday dinner no less, the restaurant showed clear signs of slipping. After being seated, we waited six minutes before our waiter approached. I mentioned the birthday; he offered a polite smile and nothing more. We ordered our usual. That being drinks, a blue cheese Caesar, lobster bisque, and assorted nigiri. The food arrived in decent time, but the precision we once counted on was missing. The salad was routine. The bisque, once silky, was overly thickened and missing the promised lump crab. But the biggest disappointment was the nigiri: fresh but with noticeably thinner cuts of fish and careless presentation, lacking the artful craftsmanship that once distinguished it. We left without a single birthday acknowledgment, and on the drive home, agreed that both kitchen and front-of-house felt diminished. Even the dining room, once reliably lively, seemed a tad sparse. Wild Ginger still has the bones of a strong restaurant, but it's not operating at its former level. Until management sharpens its focus, diners seeking polished service or a celebratory meal may find a better Asian experience elsewhere, possibly saving Wild Ginger for a casual weeknight at best. Not holding out breath. Sigh... read more

Food, service and ambience are awesome! Great drinks as well! My favorite meal is the fried rice! Best I've ever had!

They ruined our anniversary. We had 6 reservations . We waited for 18 mins and went up and asked when would we be seated and they said they didn't know when we would be seated. Said it would probably be better to go somewhere else. Terrible. How could they say that. We left and just had leftovers at home. There was at least 50 people waiting with reservations when we left. Will never go back and will be telling everyone else know. read more

Did not try any of the sushi items but the Wok entrees Garlic Pepper Shrimp and Honey Sake Shrimp were good. They were crispy on the outside and tender in the inside. The bisque was delicious and paired really well with the bread bowl, which was soft and not dry at all. Good casual place to meet with friends or colleagues. read more

Good atmosphere, quick service, large menu. Sushi was fresh and delicious. Gyoza appetizers were hot, delicious and complementary with the dipping sauce. Had the firecracker roll, fantasy roll, and spicy tuna maki. Rolls can vary between $10-$20+. Lunch with two ice teas, taxes, and tip around $75. Just be prepared if you're hungry! read more

We enjoyed our breakfast here. Great location and wonderful dining atmosphere. Thanks all the perfect services for us every time we visit this place. read more

The food is always good. The service was very good and the ambiance. A great visit, overall!

I've taken my team from work here several times and it's always a popular outing. The sushi is good and they have some good salad options as well. I especially like that they'll cater to my shellfish allergy so I can still order sushi! Most places say tough luck! read more

The food, service, and ambiance is always amazing and consistent. One of my families favorite restaurants, even my 8 year old!

Out for a wedding in Tennessee and was in charge of finding a place for a party of six to eat. Ended up being four of us and it was amazing. We ordered the kimchi bulgogi lettuce wraps, the mongolian beef , wild ginger salad, braised short ribs, honey sake chicken, and drunken ramen. Every single dish was full of flavor, came out piping hot and wonderful portion sizes. The staff was so helpful and the ambiance was very nice. Will definitely go back and recommend to anyone in that area. read more

Super yummy dinner. Service was great too. From hostess to waiter a great service. Poke Rice Crisp were amazing as usual! Only complaint was that the building was too cold everyone had there winter jackets still on. Wouldn't recommend the calamari the sauces were just okay and they amount given is not worth it. The shrimp appetizer was amazing too! read more

Excellent Asian cuisine! I live in NC, but I was visiting a good friend for the 4th of July weekend in 2022. We visited on July 6, the same day as my flight. My friend who lives in Franklin decided this would be a great place to go before leaving and boy am I glad she took me here! Love the atmosphere and the prices are also great, especially for the amount and quality of food. The staff were all friendly and helpful. Although I recognized most of the menu items, I did need some clarification on a few items and our server was extremely helpful with our questions and requests. I did not order a cocktail, but their cocktail menu was great. My friend did order one and I tasted hers and it was delicious. For the appetizer we ordered the edamame and my goodness this is the best edamame I think I've ever tasted. I loved the spices and flavors. It was the right amount of salty as well. Sometimes edamame is far too salty, but this was seasoned perfectly. The spices had a bit of a kick, but nothing too harsh or overwhelming. For my entree I debated on an actual dish or sushi, but ultimately decided since it was a travel day for me that I'd order a dish. I ordered the Mee Goreng with shrimp. DELICIOUS. Fresh and flavorful. I'd highly recommend to check this place out if you're in the area. It's more chill and definitely a local spot. Even if you're in Nashville it's worth the short drive and a getaway from the hustle and bustle of Nashville. read more

Coming from San Francisco, this sushi is competitive with some of the best on the west coast. Here's the order: The Mexican Havana The firecracker (minus the cream cheese) You can't go wrong with the wings either. Superb. Don't forget the spicy margarita. read more

Wild Ginger Restaurant - Top to bottom. The Mexican. Havana. Firecracker - Asian Fusion Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

Fantastic food and service! Have been going here for years and it has always been excellent!

I don't know if my husband and I ordered the duds of the menu, because it was not worth the price. The Pad Thai was void of any flavor, I wouldn't have spent $7 on it, let alone $20. I would take a Noodles & Co. Pad Thai over this one, sadly. My husband ordered the Crazy Cow and the Firecracker Roll, which he says were okay. The gyoza appetizer was tasty enough, but slightly oily. At least the service was friendly and the food got out quick. read more

Food was great although I was disappointed at their use of gluten in almost everything. Service was acceptable, not great. The ambiance was terrible. Very crowded, very dark, nothing to make the experience special and cold. read more

Such a Franklin staple. Consistently good, staff is great and it's always packed (which is the truest sign that it's a good place). Always recommend Wild Ginger. read more

Food is alway amazing. Cannot beat the service and ambiance; it's the best you'll find in the area.

SeaBass was served with tempura broccolini the so oil heavy, and when you cut into it, the flour that they dipped it in was not cooked and the flour fell out of it.. $39 fail read more

Consistently delicious! Always great service! Love the menu! My favorites are sea bass, tempura vegetables and pork fried rice. read more

I was told this place is the best in Franklin for sushi/sashimi. I walked in to a pasty looking host and he sat me in the lounge after I ask if they had a sushi bar. No one was in there. I got my briefcase sized menu, walked back to the host and pointed to the dining area. There I sat up aganst a full length of glass staring out at Large Koi Pond. The waiter came immediately to take the sashimi and Dynamite Shrimp order. He brought my sashimi plate with fresh salmon and yellowtail arranged nicely except the sashimi was nigeri cuts. After the second one flapping around on my chop sticks my cooked shrimp dish arrived. This place is faster than McDonald's, I thought. I am into a more traditional sushi experience: everything fresh and the cook food delivered after the sashimi- the smell of cooked tempora shrimp overwhelms and interferes with the delicate flavors of raw fish. I asked for the manager when I noticed lots of dried up pieces of shredded diakon. He promply showed up with the same green bow tie and green shirt as he had on when he brought the cooked shrimp dish in all the same fanfare. I showed him pictures I looked up to show him the difference between nigeri vs sashimi cuts. He said it wasn't from their menu and started to explain the difference; I realized this was not going to go anywhere so I thanked him. The waiter never came back to check on me but brought me a check for the over-priced nigeri and excellent shrimp tempora. As I finished my lunch, I looked out over the Koi pond. There were no Koi fish so I left. As I got closer to the front door I pass by the pasty host one last time. I ask, why do you have a Koi pond with no Koi in it? He replies, they wouldn't survive the winter. I said, Yes they would, they are cold blooded. I wished him a great weekend and I walked out the door. As I pulled out the parking lot, I was convinced I experienced the closest thing to extremely tacky service as I had ever come. read more

Wild Ginger Restaurant - Nigeri passed off as Sashimi. He said it tastes better that way. - Asian Fusion Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

Decided on a date night here on Sunday rainy afternoon and my bride picked this establishment because she wanted some Chinese...well it's Asian fusion really but hey I was game since I hadn't had good sushi or sashimi for quite a while. So here we go.... Ambiance: Nice, not quite upscale but close. Tip - sit in the lounge (we didn't) but I should have chosen to after being sat in the regular main room. Traditional oriental / Asian decor and looked clean. Tables were basic and not super comfortable but hey we were here to eat not lounge right? Service: Greeted right as we walked in and we're asked if we wanted lounge or main room - as I said opt for the lounge. Our waiter came right over and got drinks started without hesitation and was friendly and courteous. Food: Sushi and sashimi platter was good but too much food - must have ingested over 200g of protein in one sitting and probably that in carbs as well but it was good and fresh. Wife had the Mongolian beef (her favorite) and she said it was actually better then most other places (including Changs which for her that means it was really good because she thinks changs is the best - she's not a Yelp elite though - hahahahaha) Price: Average for the plates - nothing too high and nothing too cheap. You'll. Pay $34 for the platter and $14 for the Mongolian beef - with a. Few drinks we were out for $70 which for a date night isn't terrible. Summary: Great place for either a quick pick up or a sit down date night - if you want fancy this is jot it - if you want causal or a bit dressier (a dress and / or jeans and a polo) then your fine. Stop in I think you will enjoy! read more

The calamari was totally rubbery and we had to send it back. We went there cause we had a taste for calamari. We were going to go to Rutledge, but they don't have calamari, so we went to Wild Ginger. We ended up sending it and getting the bang bang shrimp instead. It was great. The sides that came with the sea bass were all fried. Would've loved to have had just grilled veggies. The server was awesome, very attentive and very quick! read more

I have been in Nashville for about a week and have been quite disappointed with the food...until I ate here Ordered Mee Goreng which is comparable to Pad Thai with thicker noodles...got it with shrimp and have to say it was the best thing I've had in Nashville by far. Love the vibe, the service as well. My wife had the wild ginger chicken fried rice and she reluctantly let me try it...understandably so...it was sooooo good... This would definitely be a restaurant I would come back to. read more

Wild Ginger Restaurant - Mee Goreng (shrimp) - Asian Fusion Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

Split decision on this one! I ordered $70 of mixed sushi, my wife had chicken Pad Thai $30, appetizer $20, tip $30. This IS NOT a sushi restaurant, it's a Thai restaurant. The sushi rice was horrific - over cooked gummy mush. I eat sushi 3-5 times a week, and this wasn't good. There - I got the ugly out of the way. The good, my wife LOVED the pad Thai (apart from the fried tofu). The awesome - Noah was an amazing bartender/server and gives restaurant a lot of bonus points! Stick to the hot dishes, avoid the sushi, sit at the bar. read more
