Surprisingly poor food quality. The special chow mein was slimy and utterly without flavour, although the thick-noodle shanghai style was marginally better. I didn't dare try the shrimp in the chow mein. We ate half before it went in the garbage. The veggies were steamed to an unpleasant blandness. Fried rice was too dry, and rather thoughtless-seeming and plain with little inclusion beyond a bit of egg.
For what must be their signature dish, the ginger beef was good, but it was poor consolation when the basics were so awful. I can't speak for other Ginger Beef locations, but it seems it's the type of place whose success hinges on dupes who've never had good Chinese. If you get a craving for chow mein, try the Szechuan shanghai at Golden National. 10/10 every time.
