"More than lived up to its reputation and rave reviews elsewhere. Gracious staff, from front of house to busboys. An elegant, just super waitress (Emily). Food superb, but if possible, service and ambience ever better. We want to take our daughter, a budding chef, to Blue Ginger, and other special guests."

"This is a perennial favorite. Ming Tsai is genius, and each time we visit, we come away with new taste memories imprinted. Not only are his plates well-balanced in terms of both taste and texture, they are beautiful to behold without putting your eye out. Ming's palate is extraordinary, and we appreciate his classic sensibilities and feel that it is this level of craft which sets his food above others who never quite master the reinvention of pan-asian tastes. The drinks menu is smart, and the wine list shows surprising range for its trim size, and the prices are reasonable. This restaurant is an excellent value, and care is taken at each point on the dining experience. Downside is the tremendous noise, and on our last visit, smoke."

"This takes Asian cuisine to a new level - simply brilliant! This is my second visit and I enjoyed every mouthwatering morsel and cannot wait to return. As an amateur chef, I am awe struck as to the creativity of these dishes."

"We had been there many years ago, soon after it opened, and found it pretentious and with some attitude, so I stayed away for many years. But, we finally decided to try again. To say as an understatement, I'm glad we did. I'm happy to say that everything was superb! Fron the smiling, courteous hostesses to our friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and efficient server, all the personnel were terrific. And the food was great! A flavorful blend of "east meets west" that we hope to enjoy again before too long. I would definitely recommend it."

"I've eaten at this restaurant many times in its ten years of operating in Wellesley. I used to crave the charred-sweet flavor of the sake-miso butterfish. I now try other items on the menu. I'm not usually a dessert eater, but Ming's sense of flavor is especially wonderful in his desserts. But honestly, a menu updating would be nice. (To that end, I now prefer the bar, with its small plates, over the dining area). I think what I appreciate most about the Blue Ginger, over the long haul, it the sensitivity of Ming Tsai--his presence in the dining room, his willingness adjust orders to allergy needs, the attentiveness of the wait staff. (Once, he even gave one hour to my 12-year-old son, who interviewed him for a school project!)."

"Our dining experience was mixed. My husband loved it. He is a foodie, and thought the food was fantastic. I, on the other hand, was not impressed. I am allergic to seafood (and give them STELLAR marks for accommodating my allergy - they were awesome). The non-seafood options were rather dull, and my meal, the lamb, did not have a lot of flavor. The meat was cooked with skill, it was juicy, but it was not particularly interesting or flavorful.
If you love seafood, Blue Ginger is an excellent choice. But if there is a non-seafood eater in your party, consider another place.
Again, however, kudos for their care in dealing with my allergy. I wish other restaurants were as accommodating."

"The food was beyond excellent. However the layout of the tables in the main room is not optimal. The tables along the wall are organzied such that some face the wall and the others face outward providing two very different dining experiences. Wait staff were very knowledgeable about the menu items. Pricey but worth it and I will definitely return."
