Red Ginger-Broadway

Last night a girlfriend and I went to dinner at a new place called Red Ginger 967 West Broadway (sorry no website). It is the same owner of the old Kam's on Davie, which I heard was very popular for Asian food.  We were both really impressed...for such a dreary stretch along Broaday, this is a bright and shining little treasure.

Kam himself was there and was one of the most charming, personable and lovely restaurateurs I have encountered (other than Vikram Vij).  He came by the table many times, with his bright and cheerful smile and silly jokes. 

This is the type of place where going with a group is best so you can order a variety of dishes. As there was only two of us, we ordered the lemon chicken, and the assorted veggies with chili sauce and a fried rice.  Every dish was absolutely delicious!  Even though the lemon chicken was deep fried, it tasted light and crispy, yet tender and the sauce was delicate and full of lemony flavour...not too thick and goupy like some can be.  And the veggies came in a heaping dish and were perfectly spiced. Of course the rice was lovely and filled with yummy treasures like shrimp and veg and brought the meal together nicely.

If you are in the hood looking for some yummy Asian fair,and a bright and friendly atmosphere head to Red Ginger and Enjoy!
