To my surprise, the low reviews definitely did NOT reflect my experience at this restaurant. \n\nFirst, the food came out super quickly. We ordered a large rare beef pho and a beef + spring roll vermicelli. The two dishes were prepared in less than 5 minutes. \nSecond, for the price point, the two dishes were very tasty and portions were generous. The pho soup was very flavorful and came out piping hot. The amount of beef in both the pho and vermicelli was just right. All the ingredients were balanced. Also, the spring roll was perfectly fried with the exception that it was a little bland (it didn't matter bc the beef and the sauce of the vermicelli dish compensated for that). \nMinus one star due to the fact that the noodles in the pho were not the best quality/overcooked.\n\nOverall, this place is probably the best viet restaurant in the downtown core. If you want something cheap, delicious, and quick, Ginger is the place for you. Don't let the low reviews prevent you from going to this gem!"^^ . . "0"^^ . "0"^^ .
