After so many years doubting the quality and authenticity of this restaurant chain, while my friends would eat here regularly and it seemed consistently full of customers, I finally succumbed to my curiosity. My order was:
Well-done beef pho: it was as I thought, poor quality meat, broth was bland and not rich; not authentic at all!
Grilled pork banh mi: really bad meat. I had one bite and it was just horrid and threw the whole thing out.
Shrimp salad roll: same as banh mi, shrimp was so stinky!! Once again threw out.
Chicken wings with lemon and black pepper: actually decent. Seasoning actually really worked. Not the greatest mind you but I would consider having it again.
For the price, you can find many other cheap Viet restaurants with MUCH better quality and taste. Well at least I can now say I have zilch curiosity left for Ginger.
