This place can most aptly be compared to a plain white t-shirt: Although Kanye might disagree, there is a limit to how upscale a t-shirt should get. If you can find a decent one for $5, you'd be happy. How am a I making the connection to Vietnamese food? Because in my opinion, there's only so high end you want to make a Vietnamese restaurant, and that's a compliment. If there's too much attention to the decor then I start to worry there's not enough attention being paid to the soup.
With Ginger, there's no worry about that. It's speed Vietnamese. They have a cafeteria style line that includes a good high fructose drink selection, and lots of pan Asian style food that's prepared quickly. And it's not bad. But it's not that good either. If you're desperate for pho, it's passable. But it won't make you wax nostalgic for it if you're not right in front of the place. The rolls are pretty good, similar to what really quality Vietnamese places turn out. And the noodle dishes are okay, too. The prices are great. You can get lunch for under $10 pretty easily. But it's all pretty ho-hum.
Good for lunch. Avoid for dinner
