Wild Ginger

WILD GINGER
1401 Third Ave., (206) 623-4450
The Wild Ginger draws its influence and recipes from countries all over the South-East Asia. Here, you can find Indian kebabs, Vietnamese noodles, Burmese curries, and dishes from the south of China. And it all works.
The restaurant garnered national attention in the late nineties and its long standing hits such as fragrant duck, red curry squid, and Dungeness crab five ways are all knockouts. The satay bar is still a huge draw, with no less than seven choices. The Bangkok boar is our favorite.
The restaurant’s huge space reflects its popularity, and while it can seem cavernous, the finishes are elegant. The Wild Ginger offers a taste of the exotic, for a reasonable price.
