I feel like I've wasted my entire life not knowing about this place. I've worked in the area for over a year and always thought Ginger looked too sketchy to warrant a stop. My manager was raving about it the other day so I gave in and went for lunch. I was feeling shy about unknown meat so I played vegetarian. I got the veg banh mi, veg crispy roll, and a durian smoothie. I LOVE DURIAN. I was sold on the place as soon as I saw that on the menu.
The sandwich was made on very soft bread. The tofu was nicely seasoned. The whole sandwich was warm unlike other places I've had tofu banh mi. It was really nice to have the wonderful flavors but not break my jaw trying to chew it. The crispy roll is a spring roll. It's very tasty but has this strange way of sticking to the teeth. The smoothie was so sweet and creamy and had a nice durian funk.
I'm already planning my return to try just about everything else on the menu. The prices are super cheap. Minus one star only because the place is seriously dirty but I guess it's hard to stay totally clean when the place is that busy.
