Service is always great. But tue food needs some improvements. Rice is always dry. Menus like hunana shrimp and beef always comes with close to no shrimp or beef. I actually counted and this time they gave me two pieces of shrimp and 3 pieces if beef. Otherwise, if your a vegetarian ud like this place

Ginger root’s sesame chicken is the BEST in the world!! Have been to this place after a long time and the taste is still the same! It was nostalgia for me visiting this place having this entree . The veggie fried rice was too dry and not up to the mark. But overall nothing like the sesame chicken here

A line cook at Ginger root heard me asking about the menu (Tofu is usually on mondays) and went above & beyond to make me a satisfying meal! People are awesome!

The health-conscious qq alternative. Also, it doesn’t feel like you’re in a dungeon!

Disappointed, used to eat from here and would get a large bento with sesame chicken and rice, and I would get a very generous amount of food that tasted amazing, was one of my favorite places to eat on campus. Went there last week and I got barely any chicken or rice, the amount of food I got seemed like it was even less than what you would get from the small bento. I did not go back to complain because I was busy and needed to go for class so I had no time to wait for another order. Might give them another chance when they’re not busy.

I appreciate having Chinese food on campus. This place was quite good the first time I tried it a couple of years ago, but something must have changed since. Today I got a bento with 2 entrees. The tofu (in Broccoli and fried tofu) was all dried out and not really edible. The chicken with mushrooms had no flavor and the chicken was also way too dry. It would be nice if Union South could hire some people who actually know how to cook.

I had really good memories of their Sesame Chicken from a few months ago, but when I went there last week, it was actually pretty bad. Did not have any of the tinge of spiciness that it previously did, and the fried rice was also just okay. Overall a pretty bad experience food-wise. The server was nice though, and gave me extra chicken and less rice as per my request.

As long as you avoid the times right when they open, the service is quick with hardly any line. The sesame chicken is their best dish with any of their rice. It is a bit expensive, but they give you enough food to justify it.

Honestly a great place to get food. Many people think it’s bad because “the line is too long” or “we had to wait for them to cook more” or the “seasame sucked”. I for one, understand a food business and if it was so bad there wouldn’t be a line 200ft long every shift they are open. Be patient, respectful, and kind and you will have a good experience.
