Reviews

Wild Ginger McKenzie is a solid spot overall, with a few standout dishes that keep us coming back.
1. Must-Order / Standouts:
Fragrant Duck – Hands down the highlight of the menu and one of my favorite dishes here. Incredibly juicy, fragrant, and full of flavor. It’s great on its own or made into a sandwich with the steamed buns. Always consistent.
Seven Flavor Beef – Another must-order. Juicy, bold, and packed with flavor. Always hits the spot.
Pork Satay Skewer – The best of the skewers. Juicy pork with pineapple added to the peanut sauce—creative and surprisingly delicious. That little twist really elevates it.
2. Good / Meh Items:
Gyoza – Good flavors, but pretty average. Nothing bad, just nothing memorable.
Egg Rolls – Same story as the gyoza: fine, but nothing to write home about.
Chicken Satay Skewer – Solid, but not standout.
Chinese Sausage & Shrimp Fried Rice – Large portion, but overall average.
Indian Butter Chicken – Tasty when it hits, but the spice level isn’t consistent from visit to visit.
3. Skip These:
Beef Satay Skewer – A bit dry compared to the others.
Tuna Tartare – Would not recommend. The fish didn’t seem very fresh and the flavors missed the mark.
4. Atmosphere & Service:
The restaurant itself is nice and comfortable, and the service is generally decent. Our waiter often remembers us, which we appreciate, though sometimes they’ll talk for a few minutes when we’re clearly ready to eat. We did have one miss where an extra skewer was added to our plate and bill without asking, but it was removed right away once we mentioned it.
Overall, Wild Ginger McKenzie is worth visiting – especially for the duck and seven flavor beef. A few average dishes here and there, but the highlights really shine.

We happened upon this location on our way to a show. Overall, the experience was fantastic, and something that we would absolutely repeat. Highlights were the fragrant duck, which was both delicious and well put together as a flavour concept. The salted plum sauce and cilantro created a constant surprise of exotic and cohesive flavour. On the service side, the wine service was top notch, however wait staff failed to do quality check and come back to the table after serving the food. Overall, recommend if you enjoy bold, fresh flavours. It was a highlight of our evening.

We had a lovely team dinner here. The service was top notch and the food was excellent. I’d definitely recommend the seven flavor beef. It had a delicious, unique taste. For appetizers, the chicken potstickers were handmade and delicious. The papaya salad was large with a great mix of flavors. The only disappointment was the chicken satay skewers, which were tiny. Oh, the lemongrass lemonade is unique and tasty. All is all a great meal!

Went here many time and never remembered write a review, so finally here you go – very authentic South Asia cousine and nice environment for getting together with friends, family or team lunches. Parking might be the challenge though just like anywhere in downtown.

Food was good and portions were large for sharing. I orderd the beef with brown rice. Service was good and location easy to find. Bathrooms clean and resturant clean and inviting. Location able to accommodate both small and larger groups with enough notice.

Somehow the food didn’t hit the spot for me. The vegetarian pad thai was sweeter than expected. Portions and service were great, however.

The service at this restaurant was the BEST I’ve had in over 4 years of living in downtown Seattle. Zach and Alex took great care of me and were very patient with my unique dietary demands. I’m vegan and predominantly gluten free.
When I initially arrived, I was seated near the front and there was a large group at one of the tables nearby. I preferred a quieter environment and I asked to be moved to a different section behind the bar. Alex was very patient and moved me to my desired seating area and started me out with a vegan thai tea. After being seated in the new section, Zach showed me the options on the menu that fit my dietary needs along with recommendations.
The food was phenomenal. I was pleasantly surprised. To give some context, I grew up in Minneapolis and Chicago and my dining experience was predominantly at top-tier award winning and Michelin star restaurants. I’m used to a certain level of service and food.
In my experience, Seattle in general, does not have very good service. So, this Wild Ginger location in SLU really stood out the day I chose to dine in for lunch, thanks to Alex and Zach. The oshibori towel at the beginning was a nice touch.

Butter chicken (3.75/5) – little salt heavy
Emerald breeze (3/5) – took without ice, it was okay!
Green Curry Chicken (3/5) – Tastes a bit different. Liked eating as an extra but would be probably difficult to finish it alone.
Service was really nice.

Really solid place. Our server was a really nice irish gentleman that made us feel at home and gave great suggestions. Atmosphere is nice as well.
Chicken satay: i probably wouldn’t order them again. Good sauce, liked the cucumbers on the side, but didn’t love the chicken.
Green chicken curry: fantastic. Delicious sauce and loved all vegetables in there.
Sichuan green beans: I wasn’t even looking at these, but the waiter recommended them and i loved them. probably the most green beans i’ve ever eaten. 🙂
Hot monkey business: wow, great drink. Could drink that every night.
if i was going to knock them for one thing it’s the rice. They charged for rice, and it wasn’t especially good. The brown rice had a lot of crunchy bits. It was almost closing time, and i’m sure they would’ve swapped it out, so not a huge deal but something to watch for.

Prime location, delicious food. Our server made us welcomed and comfortable, my lunch order included a Fragrance duck and Vietnamese iced coffee, both are great, the duck meat are tender, wrapped in the steamed bun, dip into the sauce, all are blended & flavorful. Satay pork skewer is great choice as well if you want a starter.
I am not sure about the parking, we rode the street car from SLU to the restaurant.
Our group of 6 people, the bill is like 320$ (before tip)
Everything inside looks clean and neat, will come back definitely.
