Reviews of Lucky Ginger

Josh O

Everything was delicious! We got Special Pho (with rare steak, brisket, and Vietnamese meatballs), crispy squid, and of course, the highly recommended dumplings.

Cyndi Kramer

Birthday dinner for my son. Our server was awesome! You can't make reservations but they do have online wait times. It didn't matter, we were doing an early Friday night (6:30) and we were seated immediately. The food was decent. The Korean short ribs were a bit gristly and he was comparing them to Sticky Rice's which won out. I had the Pad Thai and I love that there is a range of heat to choose from. I took the three in the middle and it was perfect. The habanero margarita was spot on but the lychee drink my son had was deemed a bit sweet. The overall four was because we were waved in and told we could sit anywhere. There was the by now ubiquitous QR code on the table. Our server brought water and left (turned out she was just trying to get some tables cleared) so we assumed we had to order via the app. We jumped on but it was pretty clearly meant to take out so after a moment of confusion, and just before we might have ended up with takeout, our server returned! She assured us we did not have to order online. All's well that ends well. As per the Third Ward, the only real issue was parking and that ended up not being too bad.

In Milwaukee for work and was looking for good Thai food in the area. My go to is always Basil Fried rice and the version here was very good. The staff was nice and helpful. Would definitely recommend

Andrew Mazurek

Amazing Pad Thai!! If you like Spicy, level 3 to 5 are your answer when asked 😁 the sauce for the Veggie egg rolls make the egg rolls!! A little heavy on the black pepper in the egg roll but it was still good.

Leigha Hodge

Honestly, some of the best food I’ve ever had in Milwaukee. But on top of the amazing food, the vibes are awesome. The staff members are super friendly and if you snag a seat at the bar you’ll more than likely end up chatting it up with some kind Milwaukee locals. Now back to the food. The chicken wings on the appetizer menu are *chef kiss* perfect. It’s always cooked perfectly every time with great flavor. With my second favorite appetizer being the squid. As for main dishes I always go for the drunken noodles, pad thai ( both dishes you can customize your spice level and add your choice of protein, I usually choose shrimp ) the Pho or the BBQ Salmon. Pick any of those dishes and I promise you won’t regret it.

I remembered enjoying eating here so I came back at long last. I stopped for a late weekday lunch when there weren't a lot of customers and got a spot at the bar. I had a cup of tom yum with veggies and the drunken noodles with tofu. You can pay extra for protein in the soup but I liked it with just veggies. The sour and lightly sweet clear broth is what it's really about anyway. It was refreshing with the crisp vegetables. I ordered my noodles at spice level 4 (out of 5) and they had a nice sinus-clearing kick without the spice overwhelming the dish. They had a nice aromatic flavor from the basil and there was plenty of contrast between the thick noodles, stir-fried vegetables, scrambled eggs, and the tofu. I like the bar seating because you can watch people on the street. Will have to come back again.

Joshua Boyd

Always a great experience. Awesome = pho, beef on a stick, chicken satay, lemon grass pork chop, ginger steak, kimchi. Not so awesome = fried meatballs. Note = Dumplings only have a ball of meat in them. Not ground, as it stated it did. More like a patty. Would be better if it had viggies in it as well.

Dylan Collier

Gross bathroom really makes me question kitchen standards…. Food was great. Service was wonderful, Christy was awesome. Bathroom was not so good. Had the pad Thai with chicken, offered I think 6 spice levels, I went with 4 as I usually enjoy spicy food, but I didn’t want my eyes to water or to drip sweat profusely from my forehead. It was the perfect amount of spice for me. I was glad I didn’t pick 3 or 5. My friend had the seafood pho which was also very delicious and flavorful. I wanted to try the pork belly, but they were all out for the day. Was slightly disappointed with the size of the side kimchi; it cost $3 and was just 5 small pieces of cabbage. I was expecting more for $3. Overall a good experience and I would definitely return. Thanks for the great service

Geo K

stopped by before a lil concert! service was pretty fast & friendly. our server george was a sweetie! tofu was very crispy, no easy feat! diet coke? kinda flat :/ all in all good time!

The Borg Cooking Show

I had the pleasure of enjoying the Drunk Noodle with beef at a spice level of 5. At first it was manageable on the heat level, but after a half dozen bites, I was rolling of my sleeves and asking for more ice in my lemon water. Great meal. Big enough for two portions, so don't forget to bring the pyrex.

Jamie Horner

The dumplings take a while because they are handmade but worth the wait. I got the Korean short ribs and wasn’t quite what I was expecting. The sauce/marinade on them was good, but they were a little tough and not “thick cut” by any means. Kind of like an Applebee’s Riblet. They seemed a little short staffed but the server was really nice and doing a great job under the circumstances so we didn’t mind waiting a little longer for stuff. Will definitely go back.

Taylor Anglin

The food was decent. It was kind of expensive in my opinion, but I'd eat here again to try other dishes.

Gabriele Green

We love Thai food and go to the yoga studio next door, so I picked up red curry with tofu here for dinner the other night. The curry was watery — something I have never experienced before. It was also light on tofu and vegetables (bell peppers and bamboo). If I had to guess, it was 80% broth. We ordered a level 4 of 5 heat and it was mild. If you love spicy food, you will not be happy. Overall it was disappointing food that left us hungry.

BeingWitchy

OMG This place is amazing! The staff were welcoming, music was perfect and the Pho . . . Ah! Perfection!!! The Nice lady at the bar even let me chill out post eating before giving me the check. Absolutely wonderful. Lucky Ginger is my new weekend spot. Keep up the good work or guys!!!

Christy Urban

The massaman curry had such a great flavor and I loved it. I ordered it with beef and medium spicy. It had more liquid than I expected when it came to the table and it looked like a big bowl of soup, so with the bowl of rice it came with it was plenty of food.

Li-Hua Sung

Flavor of the dishes was good. Broth of the pho was outstanding but there were only 3 slices of beef and 2 slices of brisket. A little more protein would've been appreciated. The caramali was very tasty with just right amount of seasoning.

Nicole Armstrong

My friend and I split the egg rolls , Pad Thai and Basil Fried Rice . The egg rolls were good but the rest was a shoulder shrug . The service was however great .

lemonwry

My first time away from home (Houston, Texas) and I was really craving some pho. My family and I have a habit of visiting various pho restaurants in different states and rating them and Lucky Ginger's meat pho is a 8.5/10! Lots of a noodles and a good portion for the price. A bit bland but the chefs clearly know how to make pho. I will become a regular here soon enough!!

Erica Ethridge

So glad we finally tried this awesome restaurant!! The staff were absolutely fantastic and food was incredible!! Can't wait to go back and try more items on the menu!!

Yazan Hamed

Great atmosphere. Food was delicious! I get the drunken noodles or pad thai, and Korean bbq ribs every time and it never disappoints.

Anthony and Alexandra Minnema

Highly recommend their Jalapeño Margarita and Old Fashioned. Everything was so tasty and fresh! We ordered the Pork Belly, Crispy Squid, Special Pho and Tom Kha and loved every bite!

Becca Klippel

Food was amazing! Customer service, attentiveness and friendliness could’ve been better but wasn’t horrible. It wasn’t a busy night at all, either.

Ciara P

This place is pretty good. I thought there would be more options on the menu and thought it was pretty pricey initially but it was worth it. My boyfriend got the ginger steak. The sauce was good and spicy and it was a good sized, very tender piece of steak. I got the special pho. All the ingredients are so fresh and it was a huge bowl of it. The egg roll and pork belly starters were very tasty as well. I'll definitely be back to try their sushi burritos on a Sunday and probably try out the cocktails as well.

Izabella Rudolf

There is pretty nice, but I ordered basil- cucumber gimlet and they prepare it without gin. Also the duck in curry was pretty hard.

Steve Domke

Good food, good vibe. Almost an hour wait for apps to even arrive. One server for 25 people in the back dining area. Be better.

Amanda A

Had pad Thai and it was not very flavourful - added several lime wedges to help. My partner's drunken noodles, however, were excellent. It was a large menu (which always makes me skeptical) but given my partners delicious food I would probably try something else. Thai iced tea was decent. Nice short walk to the river which is lovely. Overall a satisfactory experience

Jesse Briggs

The Pho is always delicious. Great for lunch or even weekend brunch sitting at the bar!

Josh Delaney

The owner is awesome and has a great taste in sneakers! Super cool spot. I can eat every app they have every time I go, the flavors are so intentional. Love it every time. Great job!

Amber Osborne

Stopped dead in my tracks walking past because it smelled sooooo good! Awesome vibe, nice people. THE BEST pork belly I’ve ever had in my life & the lychee mojito was absolutely incredible!!! I would come back to Milwaukee for this restaurant alone

Peggy Cavender

It was very nice and our waitress was wonderful. It was our anniversary in the gave us a free drink. ❤️

Patty Lanting

Tasty short ribs! Steak was a bit dry and overcooked for the liking, but overall a good experience!

Stewart Waltner

Great Special Pho. Great portion sizes. Waiter kept our glasses full the whole time. Waitress that brought us our food was also great. Really nice staff.

Go Away

Curry does not have a ton of flavor and chicken satay is below average. However vegetables Go to Thai Kitchen for these dishes instead.

Morgan Pankratz

Best place for pho, period. One of my favorite Milwaukee joints. Cannot go wrong here, every dish is delicious, as are the drinks! Also, the meatball pho is GF!!! So amazing for the celiacs of the world.

Morgan Loppnow

I went to Lucky Ginger on a Friday night and it was busier than any other time I have gone. I got the red curry with chicken and it was pretty good! Others I was with got the drunken noodles which were also good. I’ve also had the pho there before and liked it. I have been here a few times and always enjoy the food, though it is not the best in Milwaukee in my opinion.

Auriel

Lucky Ginger is one of my favorite places for Asian dining! Staff are so friendly and accommodating. The friend I came with asked for a very particular substitution for a dish, knowing it may not be possible—but the chef was willing to do it! It was so appreciated! The food is great—my personal favorite is the drunken noodles with chicken! It’s deliscious, but can be spicy so careful with the spice level! The fries calamari is also a favorite in the appetizers but dumplings and spring rolls are amazing as well! Highly recommend!

cedric price

Best dumplings in town! Always plenty of holy basil in their dishes too.

Joel Hansen

Warm beer, no spices in the food, and chicken in the vegetarian dish. Wasn’t a huge fan. Saving grace was that the food was very, very tasty!

Nichole Herda Power

Great food and chill/hip atmosphere. Very delicious food. Everything I have eaten here is awesome.. dumplings are worth the wait and tom kha is primo. Generous (very generous!!) portions. Recommend highly! Great service, very friendly and know their cuisine.

Bethany Bosseau

By far the best Pho for Sunday hangovers or Friday night pregame vibes. Be sure to get in early to get the best seat in the house; personally my favorite is the bar, and order a side of beef on the stick. Truly a local gem ran by two great guys!

Victoria S.

Fantastic traditional and fusion Asian food, great staff and relaxed atmosphere. The cream city brick behind the wooden booths offer a quintessential Milwaukee Third Ward experience. We’ve found some favorites here such as Pad Thai, Lad Nah, Pho, Ginger Steak, and Dumplings. The dumplings are easily some of the best in the city.

Charles Mayfield

A very good place for date night,a good place to have drinks the prices are very reasonable food was great and the wait staff were awesome I will definitely be returning.......

Danielle Nicole

Great food, great drinks, and great customer service. This is a small business that has not only survived, but thrived during covid shut downs and other normal small business hassles. I'm extremely thankful that they are still open and serving their kick a** food. Highly recommend the red curry, drunken noodles, and lychee martini.

Veronike Hicks

Came in for dinner on a rainy night and was blown away. Portions are good, food is Phenomenal. It’s the perfect comfort/hungover food. The atmosphere is comfortable and service is great!

Mattea Elric (flickflicky)

Kristy went FAR above and beyond. The Lucky Ginger has always been a fabulous place to eat at, but today when we accidentally messed up part of our take out order, Kristy helped us out MAJORLY. We cannot thank her enough for her help!

Micaela Corona

the pho and egg rolls are my absolutely favorite go to’s. everyone here is so friendly and the owner is so kind. he delivered me some pho to the hospital after my surgery which goes to show what a kind heart he truly has!

Rebecca Walker

The basil fried rice is sooooooo good!!!

Dale Parsons

It’s a fun cozy place but I found the food to be a mixed bag. Fried Vietnamese meatballs were like cardboard. The dumplings were just OK. But the drunken noodles were excellent. We had a very good bartender who made a mean margarita.

Samantha Preiser

One of my favorite restaurants in Milwaukee! They're right down the street from my office and I'm constantly ordering from them. The Drunken Noodles as well as their dumplings are fantastic! If you get the chance, definitely check them out!

Hassan M

Walked in and sat at the bar to have dinner, bartender was very friendly and welcoming. I decided to try the beef pho which was exactly what I needed, hit the spot. Someone previously reviewed the pho as too salty but quite frankly it was very good, not too salty at all. Decided to also order the pad Thai, it was ok compared to other pad Thai so nothing to really brag about there. I had a good experience and would recommend to anyone considering.

N Snyder

How is this place not more popular!? We went here for lunch after the makeup artist at Sevva suggested it. They weren't too busy so we were seated right away and the service was very quick. The entrance to Lucky Ginger is very unassuming, but the interior is great. Both of us tried the curries, one Thai and one Red (fried rice). They were amazing! The Red Curry actually tasted how it is supposed to taste. The veggie egg rolls were also phenomenal. I cannot wait to go back and try more of the menu items. The specialty cocktail menu also looked pretty great, though we didn't try any this time around. Cannot wait to go back!

Alyssa Reum

The only thing they do better than other local restaurants is the Tom Kha soup. The curry was subpar so I would recommend Kim’s Thai or Sweet Basil for that. The pho was subpar so I would recommend Hue for that.

Becky Juarez

Love this place! Had my birthday dinner with my co workers there last Sunday! Staff was wonderful and our sever, Jess, was great! Food was to die for and definitely plan on making another visit soon, most likely this weekend! Officially my favorite place for pho! 100% recommend to all! Thank you Lucky Ginger for such a wonderful birthday dinner!

Matt Olson

Food was fantastic and reasonably priced. Went for lunch today and yesterday had the same thing, Pad Thai with Chicken. Awesome! I am a wimp when it comes to hot food so I ordered no spice. Perfect. Had a sample of the Ginger Steak... another menu item that needs to be tried. Definitely would recommend and I will be coming back soon if not tomorrow for great lunch specials. Also the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable.

Rachel Ibarra

Omg! Their curry was the best! The best I have ever had. Served with Jasmine rice and I added chicken. Delicious!

Sue

I think the waitress forgot to put in our appetizer order, since we waited at least 25 minutes for 2 egg rolls (which were quite tiny). One customer was waiting for her order to be taken but got up and left when she saw us checking our phones and looking for the waitress. But when the tables started filling up, it seemed like the waitress' brain kicked into fast gear, because service improved dramatically. She was a great waitress other than that initial delay (when we almost walked out too). Drunken noodles dish was delicious; the wide noodles were soaked with great flavor. The pad thai with tofu was just so-so. A bit too dry and the tofu cubes were way overcooked and lacking any kind of flavor. Nice location next to river but no outdoor deck. Fun to watch summertime evening water traffic. We would return for the drunken noodles!

Amarjeet Gill

Love this place, finally leaving a review. Never had a bad experience. Only complaint is the dishes are slightly smaller for lunch specials. But it doesn't deter from taste and you get a appetizer. Just note that their regular priced items are relatively big. I've never gone hungry after dinner. My wife loves their curries and all of their coconut based dishes. Overall best Asian fusion in the city.

Angela Larry

I had the ginger steak, which was flavored well but to tough to chew. The owner was informed that I couldn't eat it because it was to tough and he gave 10% off even though I literally tried two bites and the bites were on the plate because they were too tough. The waitress was very nice. They should have credited my meal since it was not eaten.

Larry

Couldn't have been better. Literally the best waitress I've encountered in a long, long time. She was so interested in the fact that we loved one of the sauces and told us a story about it. She seemed very genuine and enthusiastic. Great view of the river as well.

Sandy Moen

Drunken noodles were excellent. Enjoyed the atmosphere and the friendly service.

Austin Werner

I have yet to have a bad dish here as the egg rolls, dumplings, and drunken noodles here. They all are all amazing and the best Asian cuisine in the Third Ward. The service is great along with the well put together scenery making for an amazing vibe to enjoy some great good.

L P

Quality of the food has gone down since they opened up. I get that it's been awhile since they opened up but if that's the quality of the food they're gonna have then there are definitely better places for Asian fusion food or just Asian food in general. The place also feels dirty and could use a cleaning. Environment is very important too for eating. I would not go back.

Josh Paulsen

Pad Thai was excellent, the peanut sauce was incredible, great atmosphere, and a hard working bartender. Plus, it's called lucky ginger, and ginger women are just beautiful always.

Elizabeth Colvin

Lunch at Lucky Ginger is a lovely treat at an excellent price point. The Drunken Noodles are near perfect with crispy fried tofu. The only reason Lucky Ginger isn't yet a 5 star is the frequency in which they run out of menu items (namely the spring rolls). That said, I'll happily keep eating there and hope to eventually give it a 5.

Ian Gadaire

Absolutely phenomenal food! The special pho is outstanding. Service was great, drinks were great as well. I have nothing negative to say about this place. Oh and the ghost pepper bloody mary was delicious, it wasn't overly spicy and came loaded with great toppings.

Aditya Karandikar

Shared some of the Pad Kee Mao, Ginger Steak, and Korean Short Ribs. The Korean Short Ribs were sensational and I would highly recommend. Pad Kee Mao was also quite good. The Ginger Steak was a dry and left something to be desired, though the sauce that accompanied it was delicious and I would ask for it on the side with rice for other dishes. All in all our experience left a little to be desired which is why I haven't rated it 5-stars. Hiccups: Once we were seated we waited 15 minutes without anyone coming to our table, so I actually went up to the bar to ask if someone could wait on us. There was also an uncomfortable draft throughout the meal as all the overhead fans were on and the temperature outside and inside was quite cool. The Ginger Steak was listed as coming with a sauce (delicious as mentioned above), though our order did not come with it. When we asked the waitress about it she said she didn't know that we would have wanted it.

Emily Starr

I keep going back for what we now call the trifecta...dumplings, drunken noodles, and red curry. The dumplings take awhile, so order them right away to avoid a longer wait. Drooling just thinking about eating it all again...

Christa Anderson

Delicious red curry and pad thai! Dumplings were a little too doughy for my preference but overall good too. Got 4/5 spicy and they definitely delivered with the spice 👌 5/5 spicy might have actually killed me. …

Mee Pha

Pork chop with egg was moist & delicious, and I usually don't like pork chops! Pho was great as well.. The squid was above average but nothing spectacular. The pork belly appetizer was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. Definitely recommend it, however the portion is on the small size compared to the dumplings and squid appetizers. Only complaint is that they don't deliver to where I live. :-)

Jordon Meyer

Best egg rolls on the planet. Lunch specials are great, too. Basil fried rice is delicious. Pad Thai is legit. Super hot for a spice wimp like me, but just choose a low number and enjoy flavortown.

Matthew Willius

Visted on my Birthday for a treat, and what a treat it was! One of the best bowls of Pho I have had ever! Wonderful fresh cocktail. Staff was swell! A steal of a deal. A now staple when I return to Milwaukee. Thank you for making my birthday grand!

Erin Van Derven

The food is great and the lunch specials are priced well. Service is what brings my rating down - the kitchen is just slow. I never expect a quick lunch when I come here, even if I "beat the rush." Servers are friendly and on the ball, food is always hot when it comes out, just takes a bit

Kyle Kasprzak

The Lucky Ginger offers a small to medium sized space with a modern/contemporary Asian-themed décor that’s between casual and slightly upscale with a gorgeous Western view of the river, which was beautiful on the Saturday at sunset when I dined this past August. The place was about 80% full from the front bar/counter to the tables in the back, and the service was good with the waitress stopping by just the right amount; not too pushy and not absent. Location-wise, the only complaint is that the restaurant is not that noticeable from the street. I walked right past it even using Google Maps – the signage is not great. The Pork Belly was phenomenal; absolutely the best I’ve had anywhere. The Tom Yum soup was also deliciously flavored with a delectable upfront spice and a sweet aftertaste. Lastly, the Korean Short Rib dish provided an amazing balance of flavors, but without much spice. The only drawback about the ribs, it’s a small portion and may not fill up a really hungry person, so don’t starve yourself throughout the day first.

Deborah Schmitz

When they asked me for my preference on "heat" from 1 to 5 and I said 5 this is the 1st restaurant that made it 5!! I didn't have to add anything additional. Excellent food. Great service. Cozy place on a rainy cold day! Will definitely go again and work my way through the menu.

Thomy Singh

Cozy atmosphere and space that separates the bar and dinning room. The pho here is really good. The broth and veggies are on point. Everything taste fresh. Good customer service as well

Jacob N. Wienke

Stopped here to eat in the Third Ward. Never had Pho before, but really liked it. The service was nice and all the employees were wearing masks. Definitely recommend.

Peter Tishler

We regular this place. The drunken noodles are pretty much all we order and out of this world. We have brought multiple friends here and all of them return for the drunken noodles. The spice levels are deceiving, as spice level 2 is pretty spicy. I can’t imagine what spice level 5 is like. If you have never been here, I would highly recommend it.

Old Mke

Return visit today ... why am I not here more often?! Super fresh made and delicious! Very friendly and accommodating staff. Just a perfect lunch stop on our walk thru the ward.

Angela R

The food is so good and the owners are cool great little stop....maybe we have to go there in the next few days. I like going on the off hours so I have a opportunity to sit at the bar the bar is the best seat in the house especially in front of the window where you can play with action figures and watch star wars.

Tubby McGubbalo

So many high quality options! The dumplings and egg rolls for starters, best entrees are: drunken noodles, pho, and oh yeah, they won best Korean restaurant in the city based on one dish: Korean short ribs. Must come back many times or bring people to share several dishes.

Nick Jelacic

I've been to a wide variety of restaurants in Milwaukee and this one is one of the best. The Red Curry with beef and Pad thai are to die for, and the egg rolls are just as good. Also, VERY good prices... Be careful for the Spicy scale (1-5), I only can do a 2 and I consider myself a spicy loving person. I can't even imagine a 5!

Zach Heise

Tasty food, drinks and ambiance... But extremely disappointed in the service speed. At 5pm on a Sunday, you expect the kitchen and staff to be on top of their game. Our party of four had to wait 45 minutes to get our food, and the appetizer came out with the entrees. The place isn't even really that large. The server was apologetic and I don't blame her, but it really was appallingly slow. The food was good enough I'll probably give it another try though, and see if this is an ongoing problem or not.

Nickie B.

We had the Chicken Pad Thai and Red Curry. Food was good, but the pad thai was a little too oily, and the sauce wasn't quite peanuty enough. A spoon would have been helpful for the curry, as it's basically a bowl of soup.

Romeow Mackenzie

Had an AMAZING late afternoon with Erin at Lucky Ginger! Excellent service, great drinks and we will DEFINITELY be back for the delicious looking and smelling food. Highly recommend!

Camp Sinawa

Great food! Great service! We went Friday and came back Saturday and brought 7 more people with us. Excellent!

Elvedin Cabric

Amazing food! Ginger steak, and wings are my go to but the dumplings are amazing too! Pho is very good as well! Staff is always Fast and Friendly, My go to restaurant in the city!

Hans Nguy

Great food great sevice best place in town for real pho

Eileen Nguyen

Service was fantastic and the Korean spare ribs were amazingly well-marinated. I loved the composition of the course — perfect balance between the richness of the ribs and the sharpness of the kimchi made for an ideal plate.

Chris Elkendier

Everything is always great, I work in the third ward and eat here at least twice a week for lunch. I love their red curry. Their pad Thai is also phenomenal. Great egg rolls and Tom kha ! Highly recommend. Best thai in MKE.

Haley

The dumplings are to die for. One of my favorite things to get is the salmon poke salad. Of course the pho is amazing. Staff is very friendly and welcoming. 10 out of 10 would reccomend to a friend !!

Shannon Jefferson Fitness

Kind of in the middle of about this one - everything was awesome until I sent the egg back - my server was amazing ☆☆☆☆☆ Service ☆☆☆☆ Atmosphere ☆☆☆☆☆ Food ☆ Egg cooking ****don't send your over easy egg back - the vengeful cook will give you a burnt hockey puck in return......that will teach you 😦 Raw or burnt 🤔

Sarah Pittner

The Basil Fried rice is unlike any I've had before. One of my favorite hot spots in the Third Ward.

Shannon Johnson

Favorite dinner place in Milwaukee. Everything on the menu is fantastic. The pho is amazing. And they have great lunch specials.

CykoMF Harley

Food is awesome. The place is kinda small and the floor in the back dining area is usually sticky but not gross. Service is typically very good when they're not too busy.

Jorden Mackey

Authentic Asian cuisine. This place was slammed though, as it is very small. The entire staff was very friendly and bought us a round of shots due to the wait though it was not their fault. We had a great time.

Denis Petrov

Great ambience and a good place to go if you want to have a conversation without having to yell over music (in the back). Red curry was delicious! Plenty of vegetarian options.

Samantha Luber

Great service & flavors! I recommend the drunken noodle and the massaman curry.

M Saucedo

Went there today tried there pho its amazing also tried there dumplings there huge portions and good also tried there meat on a stick was beef also delish will come back soon .

Kathleen Orr

Great appetizers, huge portions of rice and noodles. Delish! Nice big booths in the back, with a lively bar area in the front. Perfect location in the Third Ward.

Hannah Wenzel

BEST FOOD EVER. CRAVE IT EVERYDAY. AMAZING STAFF AND OWNERS. 10/10 would reccomend Pad Thai, Red Curry, DRUNKEN NOODLES, Crispy Squid

Justin Ludeman

Ordered the fried squid appetizer and the massaman curry, both of which were great. It was quite busy for lunch, but the service was good. I'll be back for sure.

Brad Balmer

So incredibly good. Would love to have the lunch specials back but won't stop going.

Small Fry

Absolutely delicious. The employees are super kind, and they have a wonderful selection of food and beverages. 10/10 will go there again.

Matt Templon

Good food, but probably need more than one dish to be filled. Appetizers are good, but small selection of beer. The place looks as though it still needs to be finished inside.

Christopher Monty

Cute, homey atmosphere. Small menu but good food. Wished patio seating was available.

Nancy Cruz

The food here is so delicious! My favorite is the beef pho. Drunken noodle is another great item!

Allison Poe

Food was amazing, service was great.

Matthew Skelton

This place has good food and prices are decent. I really like their Pho and yellow curry. I also HIGHLY recommend their sushi burritos (Sundays only).

Jen Ullrich

I LOVE the food but the service is always fairly slow. Not a place if you're in a hurry. I can never get through on the phone during lunch time for pick up. Phone is never answered.

remi bakker

Phad thai noodles were bomb AF. They're pretty serious when talking about their hotness levels for spiciness. Dont let your inner-self trick you into ordering something that will set eternal fire to your rear mounted fart star the next day. Learn from me

Steve Fordham

Very good food. Like many places short staffed. She did her best.

Finding Faith

Not my favorite. I usually really like Asian food.

Liz Escobar

Cute setting, great drinks, food was meh on Monday night.

Brian Kohlmann

Souk and his team do a great job. The food was fantastic. Some of the best Pad Thai I have ever had.

Mark Hanna

First visit on Tuesday. Curry at level 5 was quite tasty. Worth another visit soon.

Debbie Castillo

Nice small bar. People are really nice

Robin Lancaster

Our meals were prepared to perfection. Our waitress was great. The atmosphere was fantastic. We will return!!🤣 …

Pricilla Soto

LOVEEEE. Super good pho, curry, wings, eggrolls, drunken noodle, AND the SUSHI TACO is Amazing! Super chill place with amazing food and service!!

Bethany Kelly

Was so good! Just the right amount of curry spice! Could choose from 1 to 5.

Chris

Great food. Bad hours. They close at 8pm on a Saturday.

Chrissy

Food is great but hours are stupid.. only open until 8 on Friday Saturday?? Are you kidding?

Sean Pena

Incredible food, talented staff, and very consistent. Everyone should try this place.

Brian Maguire

The pho is outstanding! Egg rolls are also delicious.

Adam Schroeder

Wonderful Pho dishes seafood and special were amazing!! Service was very good and friendly will definitely be returning.

Cameron Tirabassi

Overall was really good. Would definitely go again if back in the area. Love the atmosphere and staff was great. 4.5 out of 5

Zuzuki Velazquez

Loves the pork belly bites. The shrimp pho was filling and delicious.

Jonathan Wright

Lovely food. Its thai food, but they have a selection of import beers spanning an impressive portion of east asia.

Jo Ellen Burkholder

Nice variety of pan-Asian dishes. Very tasty.

kamith Mirissage

Great selection of east asian cuisine, pork belly is really good

James Nicholas

Great atmosphere, fantastic food, and well-balanced cocktails.

Scott H

(Translation) I've been to Lucky Ginger twice and I both ordered Pho but different flavors, they were both amazing! From a Taiwanese perspective, I totally recommend coming here to grab Pho if you like Vietnamese food or simply someone who likes soup and noodles. Drunken noodles are also a great option to the noodles fan. If you like Vietnamese Pho, don't miss eating Pho here when you come to Milwaukee!
