" I had dinner at Ancient Ginger after hearing many recommendations. The atmosphere was pleasant and welcoming, and the staff was attentive. I tried their signature dish, the sesame chicken, and it was delightful! I enjoyed every bite, and I would absolutely visit again. Great experience overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've had mixed experiences at Ancient Ginger. While the food is generally tasty and authentic, there have been occasions where the service was lacking. I once had to wait over half an hour for my food, despite it not being that busy. The food is delicious, especially their sweet and sour chicken, but I hope they improve their service. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had been looking forward to trying Ancient Ginger after hearing such rave reviews. I ordered a variety of dishes for a family gathering, including their famous pork dumplings and sizzling rice platter. The flavors were spot on, but unfortunately, I encountered a delay in service which put a damper on the evening. Overall, I think it’s worth a second visit to give it another chance. " (*Curated Review*)

" I found Ancient Ginger through a friend's recommendation, and I'm so glad I tried it! The food was authentic and flavorful. The egg rolls were crispy, and the entree was ample for the price. My only issue was the wait for our food, which was a tad long. " (*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*)
