I had the Spicy Lovers Beef and it was amazing!! Best szechuan dish I've ever had, and there have been quite a few over the years. For you spice-it-right people out there who can stand a medium-heat level, it's a must try!!

Great local Chinese food in the area. I wasn't expecting much initially, but when you walk in the door, the first thing you see is the restaurant accolades! I love spicy foods, and the hot mustard sauce they give you in the beginning will clear up any sinus problems and is addictive after a couple of bites (if you like spicy) The food was good! They have great deals for lunch, and the portions are big, too!

Just had a wonderful dinner at YanZi kitchen inside Red Ginger Suntree. This is the Chef's Kitchen experience. Newly updated, the decor is elegant but still comfortable. My daughter and I met there after work. Instead of ordering entrees we ordered appetizers tapas style. We had the pork belly bao, grilled oysters, soup dumplings and Mongolian spare ribs. Each dish was fantastic and featured fantastic flavors and the freshest of food. Our waiter gave helpful suggestions and took great care of us but didn't hover, which I appreciated. If you haven't had the chance to try YanZi's upscale dining experience, I highly recommend it! I I only wish I could have given them more stars!

After a long time, I got takeout from Red Ginger in Suntree. I ordered cumin lamb, chicken curry, vegetable lo mein, ma po tofu and eggplant in garlic sauce. Every dish was amazing. Not too salty, not too spicy, full of flavor and fresh. My favorite was the cumin lamb. It transported to my experience from a restaurant from my trip to Beijing. Wow. My family loved all the other dishes since they don’t eat lamb.

The perfect Father’s Day dinner. Red Ginger Suntree right over the river from the beach is a cozy, tranquil Chinese sit down restaurant and experience. Key Points: 1. Ambiance: Plenty of seating with a variety of areas and types of tables to suit all needs. 2. Service: The staff were very efficient and friendly! Always kept our drinks full and quickly accommodated our request for family style dining. 3. Menu and Food: The menu offers a variety of Chinese, Thai, and Japanese cuisine with a separate specials menu as well. They have a plethora of choices for different dietary restrictions. 4. Beverages: Offers cocktails, sake, wine. We tried their Handcrafted Mai Thai (3.5/5) 5. Price/Value: Our appetizers and entrees were delicious and worth the price especially for how big the servings are! Final Thoughts: - Highlight Moments and recommendations: Wonton soup was nostalgic and flavorful. Special menu appetizer soup dumplings were balanced and flavorful! The Mongolian beef was tender and exquisite, the whole tables favorite! - Rating or Score: 4.5 I look forward to coming back and trying more soon

There are few places in town that offer whole fried snapper, crispy Peking duck and Shanghai noodles. Ok, who am I kidding, there is only 1! Red Ginger! Peking Duck is one of my favorite foods EVER! So knowing they carried this got me to stop by REAL FAST! Crispy skin, with juicy brown meaty goodness that melts in your mouth. So many delectable things to choose from on their vast menu... we just couldn’t decide so we just ordered... well, everything we couldn’t choose between. The service was kind, and attentive. They were even able to make some customizations upon request. The atmosphere is inviting and the establishment was very clean. Crispy wontons with sauces were the complimentary appetizer. They might look simple, but the sauces had so much flavor! Loved this little surprise. The wonton soup was truly the best I can recall ever having. The wontons were huge and the broth was like a warm hug. The whole snapper was SO crispy. I could eat that everyday honestly. Super tender white meat (but be careful of the bones if you have never had it! Not a meal to be rushed.) The beef and broccoli was also excellent! And red ginger has been the only place we have found that have crispy Shanghai noodles (my husbands favorite) I truly can’t wait to go back! There were so many other tantalizing offerings on their menu to try!

Just ordered takeout for the first time from Red Ginger and this food is DELICIOUS. We got beef-on-stick, krab rangoon, and scallion pancake (OMG YUM) appetizers, orange chicken, and General Tso's chicken. Also pork fried rice. Delivery didn't take long either. This will now be our go-to for Chinese takeout, everything is so good.

I literally can't say enough good things about this restaurant. The ginger martini has the power of fresh ginger mixed with citrus. I wasn't sure if I'd like it, but it hit the spot. I went and complimented the bartender and asked for the secret. He said he shaves fresh ginger over the ice when he mixes the drink. The hand-made pork dumplings tasted like something made at home with whole ingredients, not processed in any way. The steamed pork buns were served with the same sauce and were fluffy and tasted like something grandma would make. The Kung Pao chicken was the best I've ever had. So very authentic, with simple ingredients. It wasn't like some cheap take out with fillers and extra vegetables or unnecessary ingredients. This was a dark vinegar sauce with chicken thigh, pan roasted peanuts, spring onion, and hot chili for heat. Perfection! The Mongolian Beef was excellent. Again, simple ingredients and no fuss. Tender beef, white and spring onion with a simple sauce to die for. The service was outstanding, and our food was served in a timely matter. Go try it out when you want some high-quality Chinese food. Cheers!
