Ginger offers the usual kind of viet food that you can find in other viet places. The key difference with Ginger is that many of their customers are getting takeout. There isn't a lot of space to sit and one nice thing about this is that I don't have to pay tip. You pay at the counter and you can eat at a table if there is space. It's downtown locations are perfect for working office people who want to grab something and go back to their office. The food comes out pretty fast even during busy hours. If there's a bottleneck, it's not with the kitchen. It's because there are lots of people lining up.
Usually I get pho in a viet restaurant but with Ginger, I tend to get their rice + "stuff" dishes. Rice dishes are much more portable than pho. The prices are good too. One rice dish will cost you between $7-9 after tax. It's pretty good value because the portion is generous.
My only real complaint is that their food is more salty than I'd like. But do note that I like my food light. I think the average Canadian will find the flavor just "normal". There's also a bit more oil than I'd like. I guess that's why it's so delicious.
I recommend anyone working in the area to give this a shot. I think with viet food, there's very little variation in quality. Pho and rice dishes are fairly standard and simple. So the main consideration rests on price. This place delivers decent food at good prices.
