Editorial Review for Thai Ginger - Factoria – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
This small pocket of comfort and cheer attracts a loyal following for both eat-in and takeout dining. Diners may never encounter a dish with more ginger than the ginger chicken, a dish finished with a soy-oyster sauce. The garlic prawns entree's simplicity (broccoli, crustaceans, garlic sauce) makes it a popular choice. Other offerings include a red curry with vermilion, tom kah gai, and cashew nut chicken, spiked with chili paste.

My 4 friends and I went to the restaurant on Saturday night. The restaurant was busy so we tried to order soon after we got seated. However, we haven't got our food until one hour later. We asked them what happened and they said that they cooked for to-go orders first! That's really lousy!!! Seemed to me they just wanted to maximize their profits even at the cost of giving bad service to dine-in customers (aka. starving them). If it's not for courtesy, I would have left and gone somewhere else. They then served us a free, small platter of appetizer to reward our patience. Service problem aside, I must say that their PadThai beef is really good. Definitely won't go there for dine-in again; maybe I will come back for to-go food, just maybe.

We had dinner here last night. The food was pretty average but that is not the reason I am posting. No. During the meal I happened to get up to use the Gent's. My business was light and quick and I was in and out in less than two minutes. After about 10 minutes the female manager comes over to the table and loudly accuses me of having choked up the bowl in the men's toilet! I was speechless but I realized that every eye in the room was squarely on me - I have never been so humilated, ever! I protested that it wasn't I who commited this outrage but I am still not sure why she was accusing me as the correct course of action would have been to address the problem discreetly by unplugging the toilet. In any event, she seemed to want to accuse me of causing the problem but didn't seem to want me to do anything about it. What this public outburst did, hoiwever, was spoil the appetite of everyone in the dining room. She was loudly talking about the bowl being choked up with fecal matter. This ruined the meal and people began to get up to leave. We did too but this is when she starts screaming for payment for our meal. I told her she ruind the meal and we would not be paying for it! She now wants us to pay for the others who are leaving as I caused this whole scene! I was speechless! Utterly without words! The last I heard was her screeching about calling the police on me. This was a terrible experience. I recommend strongly that you give this place a miss.
Cons: Spoiled appetite. Horrible mistreatment by manager
