Ginger Asian Kitchen and Bar

Ginger Asian Kitchen and Bar Review

A duo of Thai chefs presents an Asian fusion and sushi cuisine of delicate spiciness at this spiffy New York look-alike. It's small, but the menu's huge. Recessed lighting contributes to the chic vibe, as do the off-white walls and black leather chairs. Start with plump kioza dumplings stuffed with chicken, goose, and vegetables or shrimp tempura on avocado with miso sauce, then try the Jakarta (chicken or beef with eggplant and zucchini with an Indonesian sweet sauce) or exotica (chicken or seafood dressed with coconut milk and chili paste and scattered with basil leaves). Finish off with an almond and butter pastry, topped with caramelized bananas and ginger parfait. A lighter bar menu is served from midnight until 3 am Thursday to Sunday night.
