Ginkgo Sichuan Cuisine - Fairfield

You cannot go wrong on this menu. All the food is incredible. The quality of the meats and fish is top notch and the speed of service is impressive. We sat down, ordered for the kids and they were eating a delicious hot dish in under 5 minutes. We then ordered some spicier dishes and had them almost immediately as well. The flavors are amazing, we can't understand why this place isn't packed every night. This place is a Must Try!Kid-friendliness: They have lots of Chinese basics that the kids will eat too.

We plan to have our lunch specials here on a regular basis. The menu is different from other restaurants and we like the place. Only wish they'd make better effort to keep cleaning supplies and the tasks folding napkins etc. Hidden.Otherwise, great place to eat at.Food: 5/5

The food was delicious and the wait staff were very friendly.Edit: visited again and the food was delicious once againFood: 5/5

I ordered based on something I read.We ordered a couple apps and mains.I 'm sorry... We are NOT picky eaters, but we both said never again.I have had authentic Chinese. I grew up going to China town in NYC and my mother was a Nanny for a Chinese family (from China) so I know what to expect.The sweet shredded pork with Moo Shu wraps left a unsettling metalic taste in our mouths.The Chengdu cold noodles were just eh .(the taste wasn 't anything special)The Sichuan red oil dumpling SAUCE was really good, but the dumpling dough was way undercooked and hard or stale. Also it says spicy... Not SPICY AT ALL.The delivery person came to the door with a face full of attitude, and no greeting. I said hello and thank you , he said NOTHING, not even a half a smile. He got a 20% tip in advance, and I was ready to give him more in cash, but not with a delivery attitude like that. I wasted my money.Simply not worth the price. We won 't be back.

This place is one of the hidden gems of Fairfield, tucked away in the corner of the Bob’s Stores plaza on Post Rd. I stumbled upon it on Google and we gave it a chance- best decision ever! The decor is gorgeous. The food was incredible. Most authentic Sichuan cuisine restaurant in the area, but they also have the Chinese basics that any picky eaters would be more than happy with.We had the red oil dumplings (a must-order), Ma-La Beef with medium spice (essentially a stir fry with to die for tender juicy beef), and house special fried rice. Delicious!The only things we noted were minuscule things we would fix- the chopsticks were a bit too slick to pick our food up, and that a couple of the lightbulbs in the section with the basket lights were flickering slightly.This is an amazing romantic date night spot. And far too underrated. We can’t wait to sit in the outdoor patio next time.
