The best place for authentic Chinese food in Asheville in Red Ginger located downtown amongst many notable attractions. It's a great place to enjoy a delicious lunch before exploring local coffeehouses, The Grove Arcade, or any other attractions downtown.
Red Ginger has been rated "the best Chinese food in Asheville" for several years now. The fresh farm-to-table ingredients and elegant ambiance has made it a popular dining choice amongst both locals and tourists seeking a healthy meal in a nice setting.
The menu includes a wide variety of dim sum appetizers including vegetarian, seafood, poultry, and meat based selections. Do start with a delicious cup of hot and sour soup and veggie eggrolls.
A few recent menu highlights include: Pan Fried Veggie Dumplings, Mushroom Dumplings, Mango Lover Veggie Sushi Roll, Seaweed Salad, Chicken Lettuce Wrap, Scallion Pan Cakes, Dynamite Roll, Amazing Lobster Roll, and Chinese Chive Dumpling.
While the appetizer selections are all quite interesting, the Veggie Lo Mein and Fried Rice are great if you are seeking something simple.
Service is very professional and prompt. Despite the oftentimes busy setting, service is always top notch. I have never had any problem here with the food or service.
The dining room is beautiful and spacious with an open layout kitchen. The vibe is trendy and modern with minimalistic, yet attractive decor. This place is one of my favorite weekend date destinations.
Definitely give Red Ginger a chance if you are craving authentic Chinese food. Not only is the food great, but also the service, ambiance, and presentation.
