Ginger Bistro - Fort Myers

Absolutely worth the 30 min wait for a table! I wanted a tofu pad thai so they made it up special for me. The flavor was Amazing! A fabulous comfort food flavor. I highly recommend it will be back to try other dishes!

This was our first time dining in at this restaurant and the food was quite enjoyable. However, our second experience was disappointing as we ordered takeout. The Mongolian beef we received was mostly onions with very little beef, and the orange chicken was extremely hard and dry, making it almost inedible. Considering the price of $65.82 for just the main dishes, we expected better quality. The amount of onion left on the plate after eating was also concerning.

This restaurant is a typical dim sum spot that also serves Chinese dishes. The wait for a table was long. The service was good until we had a disagreement. Unfortunately, they do not provide a copy of the dim sum dishes you order. We ordered 15 dishes and received one wrong dish and one missing dish. When we asked about the mistake, the waitress tried to charge us for the item we accidentally ate. Make sure to keep track of what you order! Other than that, the food was okay. The dim sum portions typically have 3-4 items per bowl, but in this case, most dishes had only 3 items and they were small. The famous shrimp and beef dumplings had skins that were sticky and almost dried out, indicating they may have been sitting out for a while. The Korean pancakes were disappointing and had a texture more similar to "nian gao" than the expected dough. Overall, Ginger Bistro might be okay for someone new to dim sum, but I wouldn't visit regularly.

If you order a lot of the dim sum options, you will leave feeling satisfied. The food tasted great every time we visited. It's best to arrive early to avoid the weekend rush. My favorite items from the dim sum menu include eggplant, pork buns, sesame balls, egg tarts, and glutinous rice with chicken in lotus leaf, all enjoyed with chrysanthemum tea. The other main entrees are also good, as I have tried them in the past. My friends and I make a special trip to this restaurant because there is nothing like it in the Naples area.

We ordered three different entrees All of them were superb... I can't wait to go back again some of the best Chinese food I've had in years. The dim sum is the best perfectly created and prepared.
