| - There are several Ginger locations, and this one was convenient for me.
Some other locations I went to weren't very clean. This one is a bit better, and is also a bit more spacious.
Everything is self-service here. There's a station where you can grab a cup, get some water, and then add a lemon slice. There's another station full of utensils.
They have a large menu with different types of food depending on what you feel like getting. Maybe you want some pho, or a rice dish, or perhaps you just want a sandwich. When your order is placed, they'll give you a number and you can just grab a seat. They also take do Ritual.
Prices are a little under $10, so not that cheap, but compared to other restaurants in the area it's definitely more affordable.
I find the portions aren't too big compared to other vietnamese places I've tried.
The customer next to us had ordered a regular bowl of pho for $6.50 and it was just the tiniest bowl of pho I've seen so far. Their large isn't that much bigger either.
I ordered a grilled chicken rice dish. It came with cabbage, as advertised on the menu. Kind of wished I had the option of getting bok choy instead, but I'd have to pick a different dish.
Food tasted alright. Rice was a bit hard but I'm not sure if that's just how vietnamese rice is done.
It's an alright place if you're looking for vietnamese cuisine under $10 when you're in the area. Though for an extra 5-10 mins of walking you could head to chinatown and access more vietnamese restaurants.
There's an advertisement up front for a 16-inch bowl of pho, which they call the "world's largest" bowl. Something unique at least.
