Red Ginger Japanese Grill Sushi And

I have been to several asian cusine resturants and this was by far the worse. None of the food was impressive for the price we paid for dinner. I have had better hibachi at at whole in the wall place in another part of the city. Dont waist your time.

This is a generic asian style restaurant. I would not recommend this establishment if you have had real sushi or asian food. The service was terrible, the food was bland and uninteresting. I would never bother to go back.

The food was great! We had a large party everyone enjoyed themselves.

Just got back from Red Ginger for my son's birthday dinner. We had the worst sushi of ANY place we have been in Charlotte bland and completely tasteless (except for one roll where we crunched into a gigantic piece of jalapeño and that was the only flavor in the entire roll). Soup was inedible; salads were swimming in goopy dressing; sashimi plate was tolerable except for one piece of fish (not even sure what it was) that was so gristly that it literally could not be chewed. Service was confused and haphazard at best. Our soup, salad and appetizer plates were still on the table when the entrees came so we just had to stack them to make room where they stayed until we asked that they be cleared. So disappointing all the way around.

Simply put, my first dining experience with Red Ginger was awful! I originally made a reservation for two on my birthday (November 19, 2018) but I was running slightly late. When I gave the restaurant a courtesy call to make them aware of my delayed travels, I was only rushed off the phone and was told it would be 'okay ' and they would see us when we arrived. I initially thought it was rude I was not given a chance to ask some questions about the dine-in experience, but I gave them the benefit of the doubt that they were possibly busy. When we get to the restaurant, they did NOT have a rush but they did have two full tables with two chefs. The hostess asked me if I would like to sit at the dining tables or if I would like to wait for another chef to become available for the sit-down experience. Of course, being that I was dining in for my birthday, I chose to wait 20 minutes for another chef and meanwhile ordered some drinks at the bar. My problem with Red Ginger was that when we were finally sat down and afterwards the chef arrived 20 minutes later, he asked us and the other couple, who joined us later, if there were any special occasions...again, I made them aware of my birthday a third time. After noticing they were celebrating other birthdays with nice music and a dessert with sparklers, I thought it would be nice to have the same done for me...however, my birthday was never recognized. Anyway, while the chef cooked, he rushed through the entire thing with little to no conversation and the food tasted horrible; it all had an awful burned aftertaste and the vegetables were all bitter to taste. Then after the chef departs, we all notice him right outside the windows of the restaurant on his phone and smoking a cigarette! Mind you, this was not even 10 minutes after he left our table. I was not please and highly disappointed I wasted my time and my birthday evening at this Uptown Charlotte spot, where I had high expectations.
