This place rules! My mom and I have been coming here for years. The last time we were there our waiter, Noot, was beyond friendly and did an incredible job. The food is always fresh and tasty, as well as well-priced. We will be back soon!

The place smells amazing. But both times I ordered rare pho, the beef came brown and with a smell. The first time I thought maybe cause I walked home with it and it was a really hot day (I like 4 minute walk) now today 20 minutes ago I place my order and I’m waiting in store to pick it up and once I receive it I come straight home. Open my food and it’s brown with a smell. My bean sprouts are also very “watery” and the basil is wilted (that could be from sitting beside the hot broth. But the beef is not good to eat. Disappointing cause the place smells so amazing

Received take out from Red Ginger. The crab Rangoon are amazing! The curry noodles were very flavourful. The Pho was very good.

★★★★

Came here to grab a quick dinner, the server attended to us warmly and we did not feel rushed even if we arrived just 30 minutes before closing. We ordered pho, red curry with rice and mango sticky rice. While the food is appetizing, it is nothing sort of remarkable. Still not bad for a Thai food fix though.

★★★★★
January 25, 2023

Excellent food, I ordered the crab Rangoon, and a golden curry with rice, and it was so good. I got chicken curry, and it was still juicy and tender when it came to me, and the taste was incredible. The waitress allowed me to order pickled vegetables, which isn’t inherently on the menu, which I felt was very kind of her. The waitress was kind and chatty and complimented me a bunch, she made me feel welcomed. I even ordered tea when I was done my food so I’d have an excuse to stay longer. I’ll definitely be coming back! ❤️

Very pleasant experience, service was very sweet. Pad Thai lunch special - good value price wise and pad thai itself was very flavourful, however would be elevated with more spice as it is a little on the sweet side (be sure to ask server if you like spicy)! Khao Soi - star of the meal for me as the broth is addicting. The components of the dish work well together. It came with a generous portion of the meat which was nice and tender. Ask for it to be more spicy!

Honestly, the food was good but the service was great. The waiter was awesome, attentive, responsive, etc. The food was prepared fresh, it came out hot and was very tasty. We will definitely come back to this location and do recommend it to others.

Me and my friend originally wanted burgers but she ended up seeing the sign for your restaurant so we ended up going there. We are so glad we did. Our server Nute (sorry I am not sure how to spell it.) Was wonderful from start to finish. She gave us the menu and offered suggestions. Asked us how spicey we wanted things to be. Our meals came with soup or salad and I was unsure what I wanted so she even said I could add two spring rolls if I didnt want soup or salad. Our food came out hot and fast and it was so good. The portion size was big. Our server check on us often and always had a smile. We had so much food we ended up taking it home. Overall my expectations with red ginger was wonderful. And the service we got was exceptional thanks to our server. We will definitely we back.

I accidentally ordered the wrong location ! My favourite to go place is the one on erb street. But in the app they don t mention the location ! I said to give it a try but disappointed as the tom yum is too sour( I ate tom yum so often not the first time ) the pad Thai is good but not worth for 20$ ( small portion )

August 22, 2024

I have been to the red ginger before and always have enjoyed their food up until my last visit. Having ordered a lunch special of pad tai and black bean stir-fry the food tasted bland. Pad tai chicken tasted bad as if the chicken was old and rubbery, the sauce tasted very tomoato-like. The beef was tough and very salty, veggies not cooked. I was shocked for the price the food quality was very substandard. The choice of ingredients seemed very unfresh as if they are trying to save on quality. $40 for 2 lunch specials I will no long consider this a place to go in the future.

Nice modernized (or westernized) Thai and Vietnamese food. As a middle eastern who likes international food, particularly Asian, I really liked the House Pad Thai, Bmi Goreng and Crab Rangoon.

Local Guide
January 22, 2024

Absolutely zero organization. The manager is very rude and doesn t have any hospitality. I don t know why these people work if they don t enjoy the hospitality business. Management should first train him how to talk with the guests because they are bringing business to them because of which staff is having a job and getting paid. It s so frustrating. He was not even respecting elderly people and was frequently asking people to leave. Ridiculous staff.

Its our go to restaurant when we order off UberEats. Love it every single time but the prices are starting to climb so well have to taper back a bit. Would also love if there was a Note option in UberEats to specify spice level or accommodate dietary requests, though I get that probably slows down delivery time.

I am fan of Thai foods .. ordered take away .. the food is ok .. but I have tasted better Thai foods .. below are some of the negatives .. 1. They missed one of my order - Jasmine rice .. I was charged for that ..I did not reduce the star because of this .. since mistakes happen reduced the star for the following 2. The chicken was rubbery 3. The chicken stir fry which was there special but it did not had there punch .. 4. They should take care of there interior ..

The fresh rolls were very good but the spicy noodles were terrible and the pad Thai was the worst I have ever tasted including airplane food

After really enjoying a lunch meal at the Waterloo Red Ginger, we decided to try the Kitchener location since it seemed to have better decor for dining in. We were the only diners in but there seemed to be a busy take out and delivery service. We waited a long time for our meal. I had ordered sweet and sour chicken stir fry. When it came, it looked okay ... chicken, onions, bell peppers but half way through I mentioned to my partners question of how is the meal? , that it didnt quite taste like sweet and sour. Upon tasting it, he agreed. But I took the remainder home but never did finish it. I think someone else got my sweet and sour and I got something similar. My advice....order take out...in house diners seem to take 2nd seat. And check your dinner!

The green curry with a side of coconut rice is my go-to at Red Ginger. I like how every dish includes a relatively large serving of vegetables so takeout doesnt feel unhealthy. They often include free rolls with my order which is a nice gesture. Pickup is super fast (10 mins). Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options!

Took my daughters here for dinner. I love Thai food cause the style of eating is to share and my daughters tried a bunch of dishes like sizzling beef, cheese wontons, wonton soup, spring rolls and pad thai. I loved watching them expand their taste buds! The food was quick and delicious, but what made it amazing was our server! She was so friendly and just a joy. She created a beautiful experience for all of us, and solidified the reason I love Thai food . Im so glad I got to share this experience with my children.

First time trying this restaurant. Ordered take out - the staff was very nice during the brief interaction. Food was waiting for me when I arrived to pick up which was great. The food was not good. Chicken skewers are way overcooked and super dry and chewy. The peanut sauce that came with them was terrible, very watery and just ... Wrong. $50 for two noodle dishes is insane for this quality of food. Im sorry to say but this was the worst Thai food Ive had in my life.

Have gone here to eat in a few times for lunch the flavour of their dishes is always phenomenal! Only qualm is if you want something spicy, ask for extra spicy.

Be aware that the sides they come with may not be so make sure to ask

Hey man! It seems that you believe that you can ask for the thermal bag impolitely to the Uber carriers. It s your unprofessional and impolite attitude who started this and hope you have a clear understanding of it. And I m stating the facts about it. I wonder if that s how you always treat your couriers ;) If you are a professional restaurant, no matter what your request is, you can express it politely and that s what everybody does. You are always messing your attitude issue with the thermal bag issue. It s not even related to the thermal bag.

I ordered the red curry 6 or 7 times before, and did so again today for lunch. I loved that it was legitimately spicey and packed with flavour. Unfortunately they seemed to have changed the recipe, because the curry that arrived came packed in curry flavored water instead of the formerly delicious sauce. As the cost of getting takeaway is much higher, I wont be ordering from Red Ginger again. :(

We ordered twice from this location, getting food for 4 people each time. The food has been great with decent portion as well. We tried the curries, stir fry and noodles. They even gave us a few extra spring rolls.

Garbage food...bland...tasteless...we ordered take out... everything was cold...if you want to almost clog your toilet with garbage food....order from red ginger

Ordered from Ubereats. Waited almost 2 hours for food to arrive. My bf s pho was ice cold, and very bland. Only had noodles, beef and broth, no egg or vegetables, very plain. Did not taste good. I had veggie pad Thai, it was ok, not very flavourful. Also ordered an Arizona iced tea that we did not receive. Ubereats would only refund cost of the drink. Not impressed, would not order from here again.

Had the crab Rangoon and the garlic broccoli. Rangoon was the perfect mix of cream cheese to crab. Added extra garlic sauce to the broccoli with shrimp which totally added to the experience. Will crab some more Red Ginger again soon.

I ordered a delivery today and everything arrived quick and hot! I got pad tai and crab wontons. Pad tai is nice flavor but mild. Now I know to ask to make it spicy. Good amount of protein in it and big portion. Wontons were great! Crispy and good amount of crab in them. Yum! They also just gave me an order of fresh rolls for free! Definitely will be ordering from this place! Recommend.

Probably the worst food Ive had in a while. Ordered 2 Vietnamese rice platters, one chicken, one beef. The meat quality for both was terrible. Hard, chewy, flavorless meat. The egg was over cooked as well. The rice was the only part that seemed to be made decently but pretty sad when the white rice is by far the biggest highlight of the meal.

We had Chicken Cashew and Pho. Sauces were watery and lacked flavour, and ironically the Pho soup was watery too. No real seasoning. No flavour at all. Base ingredients are there,however, quality and taste are far from what we expected. 15 years living in Thailand. I truly miss authentic food.

The chicken pad Thai and pineapple rice is delicious. Have ordered from there twice now and both times food was amazing. Good sized portions. Have also tried the spring rolls and crab rangoon .

December 22, 2022

Super disappointed. We order through skip the dishes and the delivery was excellent but the food....not so much. We ordered the Sweet and Sour stir fry and it was mush. The texture was just aweful, and the menu stated that there would be cucumber in the dish. There were no cucumbers but there was zucchini. We also order the beef flank pho. I have never had a more tasteless pho. The broth has less flavour than the Campbells soup stock you get at the store. I added a mix of the sauce to it and its still just aweful. I noticed the chicken costs extra so I ordered the beef. To my surprise I got what looked like chicken..but there was so much fat on it I thought it might be pork? No flavours in the meat as well. Also, and might be a little knit picky here but it didnt come with any chopsticks. Not the biggest deal but definitely the first time I have ever order pho and not gotten chopsticks. Would not recommend for take out.

There are not enough stars in the universe to properly rate my experience, it was that good ! The service was absolutely phenomenal, the woman at the front cash was a ray of sunshine and I hope she is given the recognition she deserves ! As for the food, it was just delishous, and so much of it ! We ordered the dinner for two special with chicken pad thai, spring rolls, mango salad, and golden chicken curry with rice. Everything was super hot when we sat down to eat and so fresh ! The golden curry was a standout, it has always been a favourite of mine, Im so excited to have found such a delishous one in Kitchener. My partner loved the pad thai, there was so much hes taken half for lunch today. We will most definitely be returning soon and trying some other things on the menu !

When I first wanted to go here, I assumed its going to be just another Thai Viet restaurant and for most parts I was right. Even tho the food didnt look as appealing as other fancy Thai places, it tasted pretty authentic. Something you would expect from a local Thai restaurant. Have I tasted better Thai food? Absolutely yes...but in the KW area, there arent a lot of Thai restaurants so compared to those, this one is pretty good. I ordered the lunch special basil chicken and it was nice. The total bill seemed a bit higher than the menu price but I didnt catch that untill after I paid. Always check before paying.

Went here last night with a few friends (Indian, Japanese and Germans). We all love pho I chose one of Red Ginger s favourites - Crispy chicken for 16.25$ as mentioned in the picture and also the menu pictures I uploaded (light blue pamphlet). The side sauce was so delicious that at one point I thought I might need a second dose of it. The dish lightened up my taste buds (just like the mouse in Ratatouille feels colours popping around in the background in a scene). Fresh, scrumptious and light too. Waiters and waitresses were friendly and gladly took a few pictures of us. We had a fun time. Wonderful food and cuisines. It was Friday night and we planned on going to Pho Dau Bo but it was closed by 8pm. We went here and we re so glad we tried this.

This is a wonderful place. Great service and food. A little on the pricier side compared to some places after you add in rice for stir-fry dishes and also green tea, which costs pennies for a tea bag but they charge $2-3. Service very good. They were committed to finding my right spice level which unappreciated.

Upon recieving food I realized the top of my canned beverage had a dark brown liquid on it with a nice fuzzy patch of mold growing. This liquid had also spilled inside the bag and onto the food packaging. Manager Lenny offered very little help aside from submit a complaint through the skip the dishes application . Would not recommend this restaurant as cleary their health and cleanliness standards are not being met.

Ordered through door dash. Their chicken pad Thai came without chicken, and the sauce was some kind of sweet bottled trash you could probably buy in the grocery store (but shouldnt, because its awful and the wrong flavor). Paid $3.50 extra for additional veggies, but the amount of veggies was what youd expect to get as a base... Certainly not what extra cash should get you. Dont understand the positive reviews? Did the chef change or something?

Ordered for pick up tonight. When I came to pick up my order, there was a line up of about 5 of us waiting. One staff member handling front of house, and she was GREAT! She worked quickly and efficiently, answering the phone taking new orders, getting the delivery people their orders quickly, and was honest with the timeline on a new order to a walk in customer. I stood there for maybe a total of 3 minutes to pick up and was thoroughly impressed with her multitasking ability. She was so kind and excited to simply hand over my meal. Thank you for quick and efficient service with a smile (even through a mask). Will be back!
