The bright yellow sandwich board outside Wild Ginger would seem to indicate a cheap place begging for business. However, although the food is quite cheap (average entree around $10), it is also quite delicious. Moreover, the interior decor is near stunning for such a reasonably-priced establishment–hard wood floors and lots of fauna. In other words, Wild Ginger could be charging a lot more than what they are based on atmosphere alone (but I hope they don’t!). I would definitely return.
Appetizers
Indian Pancake: The curry dipping sauce is simply delightful. I only wish it came with more pancake.
Fried Spiced Calamari: The perfect crispiness. The squid was not rubbery at all. As somewhat of a fried calamari aficionado, this one ranks up there. Nice apple ginger dipping sauce as well.
Entree
Red Curry Shrimp: Spicy, but appropriately so (though I do recommend a glass of water). A plentiful amount of shrimp amidst the red bell peppers, pineapple, and eggplant.
