Fodor's Expert Review Blue Ginger
Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
Chef Ming Tsai's nimble maneuvers in the kitchen have caught the nation's eye via a public TV cooking program, Simply Ming, and his many cookbooks. Plan ahead to savor jazzed-up plates of Western-meets-Asian cuisine, including his signature buttery sake-miso marinated sablefish. On evenings and Saturday the no-reservations set can drop into the lounge for the chef's Asian tapas, like pork pot stickers, bacon-cheddar sliders, and sesame Caesar salad. Weekday lunches include superfresh salads, hearty sandwiches, and kid-friendly dishes. Some say the prices do not match the food, which can range from spot-on to less than carefully prepared.
