" The hot and sour soup at Ancient Ginger is a must-try! It’s spicy enough to give you a kick without being overwhelming. The staff are generally nice, but there have been times when they seemed a bit disorganized. Nevertheless, I love the food and keep returning! Worth a try if you haven't been yet. " (*Curated Review*)

" I just had a fantastic lunch at Ancient Ginger! The egg rolls were hot and crispy, and I thoroughly enjoyed the chicken chow mein. The flavors took me back to my travels in China. The staff is always friendly, making it a great spot to sit down and enjoy a meal. I will definitely be returning soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had such a wonderful meal here! The egg rolls were so crispy, and the sauce they served was tangy and rich. The attention to detail in their dishes speaks volumes about their commitment to authentic Chinese food. Would definitely come back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you are looking for the best dumplings in town, look no further than Ancient Ginger! I have ordered takeout several times, and every time the dumplings have been fresh and packed with flavor. The staff is friendly, and the service is usually decent. I'll definitely keep coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Not the best experience this time around. I waited far too long for my order, and it came out lukewarm. The flavors were decent, but not great. I hear many people rave about the dumplings, so I may give it another shot to see if they meet the hype. Service definitely needs to be improved. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is a hidden gem! The flavors are authentic, and the variety of dishes available is impressive. The dumplings are to die for, and I love their chow mein. My only critique would be the service can slow down during peak hours. " (*Curated Review*)
