    Worst experience ever! I don’t understand why do they have such great reviews! I ordered vegetarian noodles. And I could not even take second bite! And I was so damn hungry! There was no taste in food and noodles were undercooked! And their washrooms were so stinky and unclean! Such unhygienic place! Never going back again!

    I'm glad I stumbled upon this place; the dim sum was delicious. There are so many more to try; I'll definitely be back.

    Stopped here during lunch time on a Sunday. The restaurant was not overly busy with dine in orders. We were promptly seated and had menus quickly. Started out with cream cheese crab puffs which were really good and came out hot. From there we ordered the Shanghai pork dumplings and tamarind seafood hotpot. Both items were delicious. The dumplings were steamed well and had a great filling with sauce to pour over them. The tamarind seafood hotpot was not your traditional hotpot but was really great. It came put together already in a container but arrived hot with a little flame underneath to keep it hot. It had various types of seafood, fish, calamari and shrimp along with some veggies and a wonderful broth that had a nice sweet and very mild spicy flavor. Between splitting the appetizer, dumplings and hotpot we were full but not overly full. The larger dining room was really nicely set up, was a bit cold but tolerable with a sweater. Overall the food was really good, service was good and hoping to visit to try more soon!

    In A Nutshell: -The Ginger Cafe location in Gilroy is very good. -They had outdoor seating (before it was banned due to stay-at-home orders 12/6/20). -The service was excellent, I hope they can keep their staff. -The food is very plentiful, the dim sum, fried rice & pad thai were all excellent & super tasty. -If you are shopping at the Gilroy Premium Outlets in the future & need some food, I think you should consider eating a meal here. Overall, the food quality is high-end & felt pretty healthy w/ good ingredients, definitely good food!

    Can only speak for the food (not the restaurant atmosphere or the staff) as we order delivery. By far my favorite Chinese food that I can get delivered. It is always consistent and flavorful. My favorite is the mushroom beef and my husband enjoys the dim sum. Fried rolls are great too. Overall it’s a bit on the pricier side and we always order too much, but nothing goes to waste as it’s delicious.

    A local spot in town that I unfortunately don't go to enough. Went the other day and was reminded of how delicious their food was. They have a variety of dim sum and so many options for pork, poultry and noodles. Their Crispy Skin Chicken is always my go to, the flavor is extremely pleasant.

    We were driving to Southern California and decided to stop by and get some food. Found ginger cafe in Gilroy. Really nice clean restaurant. Great service and perfect smoothing decoration. Waiters and waitresses were very nice and attentive. We order fish and duck, let me tell you I had tried duck before in a very fancy restaurant and I didn’t like but this time I decided to give a try more time. It was delicious really good flavor and cooked perfectly. My partner order fish and it was the whole fish very tasty and so much flavor. We loved This place and if you are in the Gilroy area make sure to stop by and try their food.

    When I arrived we saw 6 tables free. But still I had to wait 15 min to get a table. Once seated, the Waiter told us they were behind with the food. We ordered and really after 1/2 hour we got our appetizers, 30 min after we got our main dish. I was so hungry.

    Talk about fresh. Good flavorful, crunchy, yummy tasting food. Dumplings were amazing! Not doughy tasting. I loved the Pad Thai the best though, just the right amount of flavor! Atmosphere, seating was nice. If sitting next to the bathroom it is a bit smelly and didn’t really enjoy that. Overall though I would go back for the food. Worth it :)

    This is my go to restaurant in Gilroy to fuel shopping or travel. They have a nice lunch menu. I have had the curry and some other stir fry dishes. My one sensitivity is that the fried food is upsetting. It is like the food is in the oil too long and the oil flavor is strong. Service is good. Tables are clean. Restrooms could be improved.

    When I mentioned I have a gluten allergy, the waiter brought over a GF menu! 👏🏻 Really enjoyed the salt & pepper prawns! My husband had some dim-sum appetizers and said they were also delicious.

    We ate some delicious food at Ginger Cafe. Orange chicken, chicken fried rice, chow mein and the vegetarian eggrolls were very good. The crab wrap appetizer was the only food we didn't really like it. The waitress was extremely friendly but we could tell she was under stress having to take care of a lot of tables.

    The ambiance is nice. Took my wife to brunch here on a weekday. It wasn't crowded. We were the 4th party during their lunch. First time here. We tried the dim sum sampler. My wife ordered the rice dish that had chicken, Chinese sausage, and bok choy. I ordered the lemon grass lamb chops. All of it was really good. The lamb was tender and the wine reduction sauce helped to give it the flavor it needed to counter the minimal gamey taste. The prices are a bit on the high side. Service was good. Hostess and waiter were always attentive to our needs. They made sure our beverages were topped off. Overall, a pleasant experience and the food were above average. We will likely give this place another try.

    I took lunch here. I’d say this is a typical American Chinese restaurant. Nothing bad but if you want some authentic Chinese food, I would recommend you go 40, 50miles north to the Bay Area

    Excellent tasty dishes, will adjust “heat” as needed. Large servings, friendly staff and variety of drinks. Thumbs up!
