Tried this place simply because I love asian food. Not a bad place to eat. It's really three restaurants in one. They have a sushi bar and a decent selection of rolls and sashimi. We tried the pink lady, Lincoln, and Phoenix rolls. All were good and different. Full of fresh ingredients and had some nice flare and look. They also are a Mongolian grill, much like HuHot in Lincoln and Omaha. Mostly the same ingredients however they do have more seafood options to choose from. This is what they have for the Mongolian grill, even for lunch: beef, chicken, pork, crab, shrimp, clams, fish, and bay scallops. The third part of the restaurant is off the cuff asian menu items like asian hot dogs, lettuce wraps, asian tacos, and more and a full service bar. The building and decor is fantastic. Lots of glass, stone and stainless steel. This place is very upscale and trendy. The high ceilings and excellent ventilation left no lingering odor on our clothing as we left which is a bit of a pet peeve of mine at other Mongolian grills. The free standing building is absolutely huge and I bet you could fit 250 people in it. Probably one of the largest restaurants in south lincoln and a real treat to try. On the downside, no private room. I am always in need of private rooms for work meetings and they do not offer one. Price is another consideration as things are mostly in the mid to high range. Our party of 3 ate for just under $100 and no alcoholic beverages were ordered. I would expect the average person to expect to spend $30-$40 each with apps, dinner and drinks. Unless you eat like a bird and just order a salad and water, then your at $10. ;)

I ate lunch here recently with a friend. We were looking to try somewhere new and since I heard they had a Mongolian grill, decided I would see how it measures up to Hu Hot. Overall it was good. For 9.50, you can get the all you can eat make your own creations at the grill. We went on Friday and crab rangoons were .50 so that was also nice! The best part was that they offered more expensive seafood items including shrimp, salmon, mussels and crab that at most places is only offered at dinner and is priced higher, so that was a major perk! I enjoyed most of the vegetable options as well, especially the fact they had jalepenos. My favorite sauces were the coconut curry and the Thai peanut curry, but variety of sauces overall was good and they did have a chili paste, hot chili oil, and garlic oil, which are must haves for me when at a Mongolian grill. For some reason you don't mix the sauce with your bowls and instead put it in a separate bowl and it gets put on towards the end. Not sure what affect this had on the taste, but no complaints. The chef making our dishes was very polite and each trip up to the grill he asked us how our food was and if we liked it. The hostess and people up front were also very welcoming in greeting us when we arrived and left. Our server was helpful in explaining the daily specials and asking us how our food was. Atmosphere was very nice, new and clean. Note this review is only judging the Mongolian grill. This place also has a full Asian entree menu and sushi, which would be fun to try sometime but as far a getting the most for your money, the grill is probably the way to go. My picture below is of my first creation from the grill.

Ginger's decor is very sleek and modern. Happy Hour is in the bar area, where you can either sit at the sushi bar and watch the magic happen, select a booth for a bit of privacy or sit at one of the hightops. The music is modern radio fair, a bit better than the usual surfer/semi Asian background music most places default to. I started with the pineapple mojito which was ready quickly (Ginger has a full bar opposite the sushi bar.) The drink was super pretty (I care about those kind of things) but outside of that, I wasn't impressed. There was something a bit off about it but I couldn't place what. Would probably try a Mai Tai or Gingertini next go round. The first item that arrived was my crab rangoon. These were winners because they actually had crab in them! Not just the blah cream cheese most places pass off as crab rangoon. They came out super crispy and the sweet and sour sauce wasn't too thick or sweet. Definitely the best thing I had that night. For sushi I went with the spicy tuna roll which again was a great portion (8 pieces) and well presented. These rolls were as fresh as sushi can be in a landlocked Midwestern city. Can see myself liking this place more than a certain other sushi chain (rhymes with true).
(4)Greyson M.
The place is basically a fancy huhot, with more expensive options and sushi. Although the staff was very friendly and welcoming, we couldn't believe we couldn't have a to-go box for our leftovers from our last round of the Mongolian grill. Most places will allow this, but this place won't. The food was "okay," and I would have rather preferred to spend my Friday night evening dinner someplace else.
(2)Jeffrey D.
All you can eat! Who doesn't love that. This hibachi grill is a good place to find some grinds. You make your own creations and they grill them up for you. The service was good and the selection was limited but you could choose between various meats, veggies, and sauces. Overall, decent place to devour your weight in fusion food.
(3)Quan P.
I am so not happy with this new restaurant in Lincoln! I usually don't give restaurant this bad rate! First, the service is ridiculously awful! We had been sitting down the table for more than 10 mins and the waitress was still not stopping by the table, and the restaurant was not full. I don't want to mention about food since to me service is the first thing have to be good at the restaurant! I don't have a chance to try out the food yet. There were not much option for sushi menu! In my own opinion, this is just another type of HU HOT or Mongolian Grill
(2)Mark J.
Tried this place tonight. Not bad, I like it. Its like a cross between Huhot and Asian fusion. The sushi was pretty good but I have had better places in Lincoln like Hiro 88 and Dozo. The Mongolian grill was very similar to Hu Hot, not much difference. What I like about this place is that its huge! Plenty of room for a big group or party. They also have a pretty good size lounge. Its new, so you can tell they are still working out some of the kinks. I'll try it again.
(3)Georgie G.
This place has an awesome atmosphere with delicious variety of Asian fusion food and drinks! Prices are reasonable too!
(5)Jessica S.
Was not impressed. Service was poor. Forgot half out appetizer order and we had to ask for it again (crab rangoons) and they were actually the last thing we received. Then, the waitress barely apologized and we still were charged for them. Sushi was average. Fried rice was horrible, pretty sure the sushi rice was used and it was literally a big blob of mushiness. Also, we shared an order of shrimp and vegetable tempura. For the price, we were disappointed. There were three pieces of shrimp and mostly onion slices.

Walking into Ginger is like entering a gym/factory/industrial kitchen. The restaurant is enormous with soaring high ceilings, and lit throughout with blaze of glaring LED lighting. Good for them to be eco-conscious, but I wanted to turn around and walk out the moment we walked in. Adding to the sensory overload was relentless, loud Katie Perry music that made me feel as if I was at the Cooper Y. Ugh. Not a pleasant environment for Valentine's Day or any relaxing dinner. The color scheme is cold and uninviting, and there isn't an intimate feel anywhere in the house. The food was pretty good. We had shishito peppers, Asian slaw (totally meh), avocado egg rolls ( sort of an Asian/Mex feel with only the barest decorative drizzle of peanut sauce, so we asked for more.), and some kind of yummy roll that combined eel, crab, avocado and panko bread crumbs. Service was very friendly and fairly attentive. It would have been nice to have been offered water. We won't go back, mostly because the environment is thoroughly unappetizing and better Asian food can now be found elsewhere in Lincoln.

Ginger was the perfect spot for an evening out with my fiancé! The atmosphere was elegant, very clean, and prestigious. The staff was a perfect 10! The service felt like they really wanted to give you a great experience! They did everything they could to make sure you were enjoying it all. Our server was always right on time to refill my soda and to clear the table. She was so pleasant. The food was so flavorful! I got the Mongolian Grill, all you can eat! The sauces really stood out from any other grill that I've been to. Bursting with delicious flavor! The noodles are added to several choices of meats and veggies, combined with delicious sauces that you just want to keep creating new dishes with whatever you like, because they all taste wonderful! The sushi was on point! The crab ragoons were outstanding! Light and crispy with the cream cheese middle, they were scrumptious! We were so pleased with everything. One of the managers of the restaurant, named Chuck, even came to our table and offered us dessert.... Which was Absolutely Amazing! It was the 'Sticky Toffee Cake... It was so creamy and chocolaty. It was such a wonderful experience! I give this restaurant an outstanding recommendation!
(5)Concerned C.
Way too much MSG added! The cups for the sauce at the grill makes for full hands. Sushi fresh but average. It is obvious the staff is new, not sure what kind of soda they have type new. I am sure after this new place gets their feet under them they will be a competitor in the Lincoln sushi market.
(3)Sarah L.
I wasn't impressed with this new restaurant at all! They serve a couple different Asian cuisines, but not a lot of selection in any one cuisine. In fact, most of the food is what I would equate to tex-mex Asian food. It was VERY Americanized as they put their own spin on Asian cuisine, but in a bad way! I might go try them again, but only if a friend twists my arm. I wouldn't recommend them.

My husband and I ate at Ginger last night. We found the restaurant to be nicely decorated and divided up so it didn't get very loud. We dropped in for dinner on a Saturday night about 7:20pm. There was no wait and the restaurant was perhaps 60-70% full. Amazingly there was a red headed hostess (note the name of the restaurant). Our waiter Xavier was great. He kept our drinks no less than half full. I had ice tea, my husband a beer and ice water. We ordered sashimi and sushi from the menu. It took about 10 minutes and our food was brought to us on two large plates by whom I would guess was the manager. We had the Rainbow roll, smoked salmon sashimi, and we don't recall the names of the other two, but we think they were along the line of Explosion roll and Mexican roll. It all tasted great. We have not one complaint about our experience and we plan to go back and try the all you can eat Mongolian grill food next time. I walked through the line and looked at the meat, vegetables, and sauces. It looked fantastic for only $13 per adult. Shrimp, muscles, scallops, chicken, steak, pork were all offered.
(5)Lady C.
On our first visit we had both the grill and sushi. It was an amazing meal! Wonderful service, food, drinks and atmosphere. Loved it!
(5)Chuck N.
Good food. Horrible service. Half the food showed up within a reasonable time, the rest an hour later. Management scary bad. 50/50 they make it a year with this management.
(1)Sergio M.
Not sure why the negative reviews... I've had this place 2x and each time it was very delicious. I haven't had the Mongolian grill yet so I cannot comment on that. The sushi, the mixed drinks, and the regular menu items were all delicious.
(5)Kenny A.
The employees didn't know what was in the food. The cooks didn't know how to cook the food on the grill and he got the shits that night. Nobody knew what was in the food. If I could give them zero stars I would.
(1)Jessica A.
The service was horrible and this was the first time me and my friend walked out of a new restaurant here in Lincoln. The sushi was bad and the roll was a mess. We asked to talk to the manger and after waiting 10 min, we just walked out. The waitress's and hostess were unprofessional and I was disappointed by the whole experience! Will never go back!
(1)Ginny M.
Good but not great. Our service was attentive but our server started pushing dessert before anyone at our table was actually done with our main meals. I thought they were closing but they didn't close for another hour. There are noodles on the Mongolian barbecue line but if you want rice you have to order it on the side for an extra charge. The chicken dumplings were actually potstickers and did not have much flavor on their own. I would be willing to give the place another try.
(3)Bill M.
Restaurant half full. Too many hosts to keep track of who's coming in. They waited on two tables that arrived after us, told them about the menu and took orders before we saw water.
(1)John S.
Do not go here! I went twice once the first week, once a few months later. Terrible experiences both times. Food took over 30 minutes each time, and it is not even what I consider average. They have sushi, Mongolian grill, and standard menu, when you focus on all three the quality of each drop, and you can tell, it's obvious this is a poor business model. Also a woman assuming to be the manager came to tell us the food would be up soon but never a real apology both times for such extreme wait times but offered no free meal, dessert, or really anything besides a free drink the second time that the bartender apparently made accidentally, no one wanted it and she did not even offer it to any of the 3 people whose food was STILL not there but to the whole table with no real professionalism at all. Bottoms line, food is really average, staff was good except for that manager or whoever she is. Stay away. I hope she sees this and re thinks her customer service.
(1)Kelly W.
We've been to Ginger twice now and had great experiences both times. First, the restaurant is beautiful! The fish used for the sushi rolls is very high quality, absolutely delicious. The rice was cooked perfectly. The combinations are delicious. The sushi is definitely the highlight for us. We also tried the sweet and spicy wings, which were yummy. The wings were fried until crispy, then dipped in the sauce, which was sweet but had a nice kick. The Hawaiian sliders feature two ground beef patties on a Hawaiian roll. The best part of the sliders is the side of grilled pineapple, brushed in soy sauce. It sounds crazy but it's absolutely delicious! The sliders themselves were a little boring, maybe offering something with a little more of a Hawaiian twist (like a homemade pineapple ketchup or using Spam for one of the patties?) would be nice, but they were substantial and cooked nicely. Next time we'll try the lettuce wraps, they looked fantastic. We didn't try the Mongolian Grill, but we looked it over. Very high quality ingredients and I couldn't believe the price, which was for unlimited trips. It's a deal for sure. A large percentage of diners chose the Grill. The drinks were nice, our service was outstanding both times. The GM even sent out an extra piece of pineapple when I told her I loved it. Highly recommended.
(5)Jill V.
My husband and I tried Ginger a couple of weeks ago. The service was very good as were the drinks. I had the grilled shrimp flatbread. It was tasty but the bread was a bit soggy. The sushi was good - could use a bit more seasoning but overall an enjoyable experience.

On my second visit to Ginger I took my 88 Year Old Korean War Vet Father In Law to test out their Sushi. We went on the early side just after noon as most 88 Year Old's prefer. It was not extremely busy (Thursday) and the staff was plentiful and friendly. Our Waiter was a young man, very friendly and extremely ready to serve us in any possible way he could. He said he was not a sushi expert but was learning! My Father In Law had specific requests regarding his sushi and we placed our order. I ordered the Lincoln Roll and he ordered the Pick 3 Sushi lunch special with his specific preparation request. Our orders arrived and his prep request did not make it to the Itamae but our Waiter immediately responded to his pleasant reminder. It took another 15 minutes for it to arrive back at our table. I'm not a sushi connoisseur but he was satisfied or he was just being kind as is his manner. Regardless I have never had anything other than an extremely courteous experience at Ginger. You could not possibly find a more hospitable Waiter, and sometimes that just makes all the difference.
(4)Sara S.
This is the second time we have been here! Service is great! Sushi is AMAZING! It's so fresh and refreshing! Price is a little expensive ESPECIALLY if you wanna eat at the grill and sushi! But service and taste is well worth it!!!
(5)Kayla W.
I really really like their lunch special - $8 for a sushi roll (chosen from a limited list) and a side salad or cup of soup. (Be warned, the cup of soup is the size of a cereal bowl, so unless you're only eating soup there isn't a need to get a bowl. And the side salad is a really good size!) I really like the ginger vegetable soup and the caesar salad as side options. Another visit I had recently was during happy hour and while I loved my roll and my dumplings, my friend tried the asparagus roll and the sweet potato roll, both from the vegetarian menu and she really didn't like either of them. I've also heard not so great things about their Mongolian-style grill. I will say that their sushi isn't always rolled tight enough, so it can get messy, and is frustrating. Since I work out near here, I definitely will stop in frequently during lunch for their great lunch special and to continue exploring the menu.

This place offers a very wide variety of types of food. They have sushi, salad, all types of stuff. They have this bar thing where you fill a bowl of stuff up (noodles, meat, etc.) pick your sauce, and they fry it up for you, for about $13. That's what I got to eat. This restaurant was very clean. Maybe it was because it was a Monday night, but everything seemed so neat. The design was really nice, everything worked really well together. All of the chairs were lined up nicely. I really love clean restaurants. The food was a little too salty for my liking, but I was the one who picked out my sauce so I can't really complain much there. I ate all of it. Like most other places in Lincoln, they are a Pepsi restaurant. That is my only complaint about this place. I tried my grandmas orange chicken and it was amazing. It was cooked really great and had an amazing sauce on it. This place is a little pricy, but it is worth it. The food here is great, and the restaurant set up is amazing.

Ginger is a new "pan Asian" restaurant that opened near Lowe's. It's been open for a few months now and I have had several opportunities to visit. They have a drink and appetizer specials every afternoon. They also have a full sushi bar and Mongolian Grill. I've sampled a couple of their appetizers, I really like the avocado eggrolls! I've never had bad service there however I have heard from some friends that they had some issues. Some of this may be growing pains from starting a new restaurant. All in all I think it's a great place to go, relax and enjoy a nice dinner. The decor is upscale and the seating is comfortable.
(5)John G.
Food: 2.5/5. The sushi wasn't bad, however for the price and quality. Blue is still better. The grill is a sub par HuHot; less options, worse sauce (that they don't even cook in), and longer wait. Good selection of beer and wine. Service: 2/5. Just like everyone else on here, it was subpar. Wait is a little above average but not terrible. The bartender had no idea what he was talking about for any items on the menu or drinks. Atmosphere: 2.5/5. Clean, and windows would help during the day. But towards the night, the dim blue lights leave the place dark, and not in the warm intimate way.
(2)Tod S.
I must say I'm glad to eat crow!!!! A friend posted a positive experience on FB so we came back for another go and man were we happy!!!!!! Excellent food, service was outstanding and it was all around a great meal that was well needed!!!!
(5)Terrance M.
This was my first visit, there is no acoustics in this place. For no more people that were in there, it was very noisy. The SAKE I ordered was supposed to be warm, hell I can pee warmer fluid than the SAKE was. The food was OK, but was nothing to brag about. Hell Zhang's on Coddington and West A is maybe better, even though they do not have Sushi. Zhang's is definitely lower priced.
(2)Timothy P.
Tried for the first time with my wife and everything we had was delicious. The sushi was spot on and the Mongolian Grill, though not an extensive amount of different ingrediants, was very tasty. Likely due to those same ingredients simply being a higher quality. I recommend.
(4)Marie J.
Not a good food experience! The seaweed on the sushi was rubber, the bowls for grill give you enough food for a 4 year old. Only positive was a decent cocktail during happy hour. So many other good places to eat in town, we won't be back!
(2)Lacy D.
I was a little worried after seeing all the poor reviews but I had two people highly recommend this place to me, so my husband and I decided to give it a shot. I'm so glad we did. We went the night before Valentine's Day, so the place was very busy, but you could tell they were prepared for that. They were well staffed and everyone was so helpful and kind. The food was phenomenal. I don't know about these other reviews but I know that on a night where it would have been easy to fall short, give sub par service and had rushed, not so great food, our experience was quite the opposite of that. I highly recommend this place.
(5)Van T.
A group of 4 visiting from out of town. We were excited to learn this restaurant offered sushi, a Mongolian grill, and some other menu offerings. Crabrangoon and lettuce wraps for our apps. Standard crabrangoon fare, but I have a weakness for them. The lettuce wraps were a good portion size, but I was surprised they were not served with a sauce as the meat was not seasoned enough to stand alone. The sushi was good (Lincoln roll and Phoenix roll), but was plated with my brother in-law's sashimi and sushi roll - a bit odd since we ordered separately, but not a big deal. Shrimp and vegetable tempura...BIG MISTAKE. The menu describes the tempura as tossed in the sauce, but it wasn't - which is fine because that's not how tempura is usually served anyway. PLUS, the tempura sauce was DISGUSTING. The meal would have been rendered inedible had it been tossed in the tempura sauce as listed in the menu description. ALSO, $14 for THREE small shrimp and the remainder of the meal consisted of 4 onion tempura, 1 sweet potato tempura, and 2 zucchini tempura. Ridiculously overpriced for what they serve you. Orange chicken: standard fare as well. Somehow it arrived to our table with mashed potatoes instead of white rice and the person who delivered it to our table (not our waiter) tried to tell us we ordered it that way. Who orders mashed potatoes with orange chicken?! The kitchen was prompt in delivering the meal as ordered though - 1/2 star for that alone. Our service was not spectacular. We did not have our drinks refilled very quickly. We had to ask for small plates for our appetizers. Our waiter appeared to have a dip (tobacco) nestled in his mouth. So, the other 1/2 star goes for ambience - the restaurant is very esthetically pleasing. Would we come back the next time we are in town? Probably not.
(1)Philip W.
I wish I liked this place. I admit that I'm Asian-food challenged. I have tried several items and the orange chicken is the only thing I've found edible. Service is inconsistent. I must say that the sesame bread they sometimes provide as an appetizer is amazing - last time we had to ask.
(2)John M.
Although the place is nice looking, that's about all it has going. First, the grill was so slow, our friend at our table got their sushi and entree order before we were able to get our food cooked. Second, I was about into my 3rd bite, and a hair about 12 inches long was in my mouth. Took my plate to the manager and mentioned it, he asked which table we were at and took the plate. That was the the last time I saw him. Didn't console me and apologize, nothing. I have not gotten my tab yet to see if they took my dinner charge off, cuz others at my table are waiting in the Mongolian line for half hour. Taste wise, not bad, not great. Not worth the wait though.
(1)M R.
My family and I were looking forward to trying Ginger and after looking at the reviews were hesitant...it is clear you either have a good experience or a bad one. We had a bad one. Easy to fix: We loved the ambience but it does not make up for the problems. First, the bartender is not capable of waiting on tables and mixing drinks. She cannot talk and work at the same time. At the bare minimum she needs a second bartender to actually make the drinks. I can't imagine how irritated people were in the restaurant. She can't manage more than two tables without making drinks let alone a building full of people. She was very friendly, but it isn't enough to make you ignore how long it takes to get a single drink. Second, the food was disappointing. How can steamed rice be dry? It was like it was made this morning and sat all day and completely dried out. No excuse. It is rice. We ordered the orange chicken...it was mushy and dry. We liked the sauce...what there was of it. If you can't make chicken crisp and rice moist...at least give us enough sauce to cover it up and hydrate the rice a little. Third, the sashimi was dry and looked like maybe it shouldn't be eaten. The presentation was meh. As a family from the west coast we've been nicely surprised at what Lincoln has to offer in this category...this was not it. Fourth, why are we given so many menus? If your servers feel like they need to take three minutes to explain the menus then they are poorly organized. Fifth, I believe there was a manager standing behind the bar who seemed completely unaware of the state of the restaurant and bar. If you are going to keep a slow as crap bartender then get in there and help out. Your shoes looked fine...and if they didn't...standing behind the bar all night looking at them isn't going to change anything. Bottom line, your servers don't know what to do with themselves due to the majority of people doing the Mongolian grill but make them help out instead of standing around all slack jawed. If you can't handle a restaurant service, then get rid the menu. At this point, it is done too badly to help you out. Since I don't like Hu Hot I will not be coming back for anything. I hope you turn it around...gain some experience at managing a restaurant. It's a beautiful place.
