This is one of the better Gingers. Which is not saying much since most Gingers tend to look like dives.
Regardless of that, most Gingers, whether old or recently opened tend to be busy most of the time, particularly around lunch time.
I have been going to Ginger for years and you will be surprised but not all Gingers are equal. For example this location offers a better pho --in my opinion-- than the one at the corner of Carlton and Parliament. Maybe it was the flavour in the broth but I rather have this location's than than the latter.
Now I do not know if this is because this location is in Boytown or not but it is definitely better looking inside with a mild industrial theme, a vespa near the entrance and an actual bar. Yeah, an actual bar.
As for me, I am just a fan of the pho and that is why I go. I have noticed though that Ginger's servings have gotten a tad smaller from a few years ago so I that is about my only "Beef with Ginger."
But it is cheap and fast Vietnamese soup which normally hits the spot, specially when on the go. Good place.
