Sweet Ginger

Second time coming here and it's damn good. When you really don't wanna think or truly care about the quality and just need a hardy meal that will taste good... this is the place. Their pad thai with grilled steak is supa good, lot of noodle and a good steak amount. Got their Mexican roll which was really good as well and then the bento box is never a miss. Sushi is fresh, service is good, honestly no complaints. Don't expect the highest quality or the greatest environment, it's a causal dining spot so enjoy the vibes and the good food. It's usually packed but didn't need to wait for a table. Good place, good food, no complaints.

Popped into this little Japanese spot for a quick dinner. We were a few strip malls away at Jammin Java and had a few hours to kill before the head liner. Small dining area full of locals. I absolutely know why. We were seated immediately in spite of the crowd. Near the sushi bar. Huge menu. A vast array of sushi selections and Japanese dishes. We got sushi of course (not pictured). Fresh and delicious. Lots of wasabi and pickled ginger. Then we had the spring rolls. So hot and crunchy. Packed with shrimp but not filling. GET THESE! We also had the traditional soup and salad (traditional) My dinner date lived in Japan a few years and confirmed that his Yakisoba was authentically prepared. I tasted his and it was delicious. Packed with veggies and tons of protein. My fried rice was awesome. Served piled high in a little wok. Portions were incredible. Seriously, enough for lunch the next day. They didn't have a bar but do have a good bar selection menu with mixed drinks and Japanese Beer. I had Kirin and it was ice cold and satisfying. All in all, if you're in the area, shopping or looking for a great dining experience try Sweet Ginger. Good Eats!

I just discovered Sweet Ginger and only regret not knowing about it sooner! The restaurant was packed when we got there and we soon discovered why. My friends and I had a variety of Japanese and Thai dishes and everyone was very happy with their food. We'll definitely be back to explore other items on the menu.

On Mondays, we seem to find ourselves in Vienna, VA a lot. Unfortunately, many of the restaurants we visit are closed on Monday. We were happy to find that Sweet Ginger is still open on Mondays! Plus, the food is still good. The salad dressing was exceptional. At lunch time, there were not busy.

Treated my cousin to Sweet Ginger for his birthday and we were both amazed by the quality and quantity of food we received for the price paid. We made it easy for our patient and attentive waiter by ordering two Thai iced tea and the Bento Box A with beef teriyaki. Everything was cooked and prepared to perfection. Starting with the Thai iced tea; which was almost like a dessert. So smooth and sweet! It complimented the meal. The miso soup was comforting and had a balanced ratio of broth, tofu, greens, and green onion. The salad was fresh, crisp, and dressed with a rich and tasty peanut dressing. Of course, the highlight of our meal was the incredible bento boxes. The tempura shrimp and vegetables were my favorite. They were breaded to ideal crispiness and paired well with the soy dipping sauce. The vegetables were one big broccoli floret and large sliced carrot and zucchini medallions. The teriyaki steak was scrumptious, served on a bed of cabbage slaw with a generous amount of sauce. There was enough for me to dip other box components into, like the California rolls, tofu, and the Japanese dumpling. We dusted off everything. Not even the leftover salad dressing remained because we drank it all up! The whole experience was so much fun and we had a blast. Can't wait to go back. We left feeling satisfied and can add this to our list of happy memories!
