Reviews of Sweet Ginger (Restaurant)

Ketki Purandare

I just love the food here. We always order vegetarian spring rolls for the table which is served with a pineapple sauce and scallion pancakes. I just love the pineapple fried rice here and I also like the curry options. The portions are decent and after the apps I always have part of my meal to take for lunch next day!

THE BEST food you can find. I go there every month for lunch. Green Curry chicken. Anybody who goes there (friends, neighbors, coworkers) says "this is the best restaurant in USA". Why bother with McDonald or pizza? For same $$$ you can eat real food which tastes good (very good) without any ketchup.

Wonderful Meal

Ed Holdgate

Crispy Chicken Basil, so good! I do lunch functions a couple times a month with my employees and they LOVE eating at this place. I like it because we can get in and out in about 30 minutes, and the lunch meals are all around $10. i would much rather bring a group here than a TGIF or an Applebee's. I will say that it can get busy around 1230, with a 10-15 minute wait, so I would advise getting there early if you are in a rush!

Sara Lauter

Delicious!!! Never have had a bad experience.

Tom Tait

Friendly staff, excellent food, reasonable prices.

Sheena Nakahira

We randomly stopped here during our roadtrip to Vermont. Chic, lovely Thai resto. Pretty authentic. Really good tom yam kun soup and Pad thai. Highly recommend. Service was quick. And waitress are all smiles.

Eric Matte

Best Thai food in the area!

Michael Pszyk III

Good food with an extensive menu.....

Brian Perkins

Pretty much the best Thai in the area. Service can be a bit slow on Friday evenings. I like the Triple C's my son likes the drunken chicken.

Ali Hill

Surprisingly great food!

Christopher Laidlaw

We grabbed take out tonight and it was ready as soon as I got there. The food is always excellent.

Elizabeth Grunewald

Always delicious! Large portions so there is usually leftovers for lunch the next day. Good assortment of curries and nice appetizers.

Dan Sloan

Great food ,great people

Kevin Hammond

Gotta try the Kimchi Fried Rice!!!!! And Diana swears by the Kimchi Chicken

Synical One

Great service, food was excellent, very friendly and pleasant staff. Will return.

RG boomer

I was pretty full before I came to this place for dinner, but the miso soup tastes great. Highly recommended. Also, I have to give 5 stars, because we showed up at 9:29, and they still served us a full dinner, so that was really nice. (They close at 9:30)

Matt Titus

Diana Germain

M Sebastiao

Andrew Schnellinger

Good food, get takeout there regularly.

Brett Shaver

Best Thai food in southern NH. Good prices and nice local draft beer selection as well. Above average atmosphere, but not the highlight. The food is what makes this place great

Honest Reviewer

Excellent food and courteous service every single time, if they are busy or not. The food is amazing and the staff are spot on about the suggestions they make according to your taste.

Sheri Nicole

Food was absolutely phenomenal!!! Some of the best Thai food I've ever had. Staff was very friendly and engaged in polite conversation. Will most definitely be back!!!

Sara Fenton

Food was ok - lacking in flavor depth, but the boba tea, price, and speed of service were great! Friendly service.

Mahaveera Pushparaju

Best Thai food around this area. We frequent this place as family as my kids love going to this place. Friendly staff, great taste, good variety and good ambience. We love the pad thai, tofu, noodles and fried rice !!!

Heather B

Food is very fresh and flavorful, the service is great too. Would highly recommend. Lots of options for vegetarians also!

Flynt Coal

I've never been disappointed coming here. Food is always fresh and delicious and the staff is always courteous.

Angela Scaccia

I'm only giving 3 stars because their mango curry is great. SIT AT THE BAR if you can. The service on the restaurant side is terrible. Do not go if you are in a hurry.

Shari Binder

Food is good. I ordered something spicy, but it wasn't. Also got takeout, but no utensils or napkins. I was in a hotel, so I didn't have any either.

Andy Wegman

The menu is broad, food very fresh and service excellent.

Tim Casey

Its delicious always...so far

Vijesh S

Really Good Food with poor service. Plenty of choices for vegans and vegetarians too. Seafood entrees and appetizers are good. Try the Korean fried rice for spicy flavor. Owner tries hard to please but the wait staff needs to try harder. Remember to make reservations to dine on weekends.

Jess Ackerman

This place is unbelievable!! After hearing many people raving about this place my husband and I finally decided to get take out. It was quick, reasonably priced and everything was delicious. I got the sesame beef and hubby got the drunken noodles. Definitely recommend.

Joshua Therrien

My favorite place!

DaDorn666

Not bad

Ganesh Balakrishnan

Nice Thai food. We keep going there.

Marc Gendron

Good food

Michael Philbrook

Awesome Thai food! Great service. Clean restaurant with good atmosphere. The Pad Thai is especially delicious. Fresh ingredients with emphasis on quality. Outstanding. Highly recommended.

melissa dawn

Charge 9+ for chicken noodle soup, I'm sick order the chicken noodle soup and I get a container 3/4 full with a small bit of chicken and broth..... 2nd and last time I will be disappointed thanks for allowing me to waist my money a second time

Craig Driggers

Crab rangoons are completely original and delicious. I've had quite a few different offerings from their menu each to total satisfaction.

Shirley Paquette

Best Thai food in the area. We go a few times each month!

Andrew Lewis

Haven't had anything I didn't like!

Alexandria333 Moon

Best Thai food to date. Restaurant is very clean and service is terrific.

M J

Huge portions, fast service and good food. Definitely a nice change from all the fast food places around here. Good thai as well as some Korean dishes that are pretty authentic. Not as spicy as some more traditional places which could be good for younger kids

Maiuca

The food was good, plenty of options for all eaters. Would recommend to improve the juices, I could tell it was watered down.

debraj ghosal

Food and service was good. One of the best options around.

Scot Langdon

We eat here every time we go to the movies and love how fresh the food is and very happy with the service. The staff is always ready and happy to serve.

Dennis Periquet

I order only a few items but they are very good -- drunken noodles, chicken red curry and tofu red curry, and basil fried rice. All are good. The red curry is best with tofu. The chicken on red curry and basil fried rice tends to be bland. The decor is ok. It's close to the highway but you cannot see it until you get off the exit. The wait staff are nice and the wait to get your food is not bad. The chicken in general is tasteless. I don't recommend any of the chicken dishes.

Avinash Kashyap

Great food and awesome service. I frequent this place with family. Tempura, curries and pineapple fried rice are my favorites. They did have a turnover of the chef over the summer of 2016 after which the food quality had gone down. I'm very happy that they have since addressed it. The food is back to being wonderful now. Easily the best Thai I've had in NH.

soumali de ghosh

We ordered stir fry sweet and sour chicken And again a stir fry shrimp baby corn dish They do not understand what stir fry mean.. both the dishes were vegetables and protein swimming in a light broth Thoroughly disappointed Never going back

peter albert

The food was excellent. Drinks were great and service outstanding.

mark devins

Menu at Sweet Ginger is the most diverse I've seen for a Thai restaurant.

Vikram Karandikar

Ordered basil chicken noodles which was delicious. Very friendly staff.

Debbie Fetter

Got bland food. Website says it delivers we were right across the street at the Holiday Inn. We got 50.00 worth of food and ended up throwing it in the garbage it was that bad. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

Emily Houle

First time with Thai food, had the duck soup and was thrilled, very delicious. Clean restaurant and friendly staff, will be returning!

Michael Reynoso Portes

My favorite spot in Merrimack, NH. The staff is super friendly and the food is delicious. A+

ryan varela

Best Thai food in the area.

Jennifer Spillane

Great food and service!!! Eat the Thai chicken noodle soup when you are sick. It’ll cure you!!

David Oles

Great food, slow service

Eric Finn

Best Thai food around. Crispy Chicken Basil and their Crab Rangoon are must-tries.

Moises Ramos

Great food and service. Best Thai food in Nashua.

Rui Wang

I didn't expect to find this hidden gem in Merrimack, NH. But the dishes are delicious. The Sweet Ginger Clay Pot is a must have if you like fish. Crispy tilapia stewed with vegetables and savory sauce, yummy. The Seafood Madness has a nice kick to the flavor. Even the Siem Fried Rice is much better than the typical FR. Since this is on my way to work, I'll sure to come back with some colleagues. There is a little wait when it's busy during rush hours.

Jeff MacDonald

This is a nice place to catch a meal either before or after the movies.

JP Amolat

Really great Thai place! Such an amazing find

eric teo

If u are looking for authentic tom yum soup, this is not the place to go. Not suited for Asian taste. Ambience is good though

Granite State Reefer

Good food. Awesome Tom Tom noodle soup bowl. I dream about it, I tell you.

Andrew Duane

Nice local place for good thai with a little korean. I love the Lo Mein Kra Pow.

Joanne Lake

Just LOVE the food at Sweet Ginger! Wonderful staff, too!

Jennifer Maszczak

Always a good meal. Service is good and quick. Atmosphere is nice. Take out is easy.

Marylene Ruiz

Fabulous Thai food! I found them on Memorial Day when many of the other local Thai places were closed. So glad I did. We visit there almost once a week now. I absolutely suggest the Tom Yum Noodle Soup or the Drunken Noodles. The boyfriend's kid also love the Duck Noodle soup. I will be back soon!!

Reubin Bagares

Great foods, best service!

Justin Kohl

I went here for a work lunch and it was very good. I had the crispy chicken basil dish and it was excellent. The service was fast and they were very attentive.

Dhananjay Singh

Good Thai food. Nice service.

Justin Paynter

I came in at dinner time and was seated promptly. The yellow curry was delicious (but not quite 2 pepper hot) and full of fresh veggies and shrimp. The meal came out quickly and the servers were friendly and attentive. This has been my experience every time. Great job!

TW Reichard

Great service and food

Dino Drakiotes

Ordered Pad Gra Pow with pork. This should have been a slightly spicy dish. Instead I got a bland almost tasteless dish with 4-6 mouthfuls with any flavor. I have ordered this dish before and it was wonderful. Hopefully this was just a bad lunch on an off day for them.

Mark A. Bradley

I love the food at this point place. I typically go for lunch but decided to go for dinner. It’s great when you walk in and the entire staff knows your name. I feel like Norm from cheers :) All the food is good. I like really like spicy food and they will spice it up till your liking. If you like small restaurants with great flavor. You have to go here

Brian Pass

I rarely leave reviews, let alone while I am still eating, but these ladies warrant it. There was a slight mistake, but I have never seen a business so intent on owning & correcting their mistake. Nothing but respect & appreciation from me. The food was ultimately delicious, & there was plenty of it! Thank you, Ladies. BP

sekhar bijjala

Great food

Zachary Macomber

We've done takeout a couple times now, and the food has always been delicious!

Alex Paulino

Best Thai food I've had. Fresh ingredients, great flavors and low prices. I can't complain

Jeremy Edelblut

Good Pad Thai.

Chris OBrien

Tried a new item on the menu - scallops. Delicious!

Scott Watson

This place has a much wider selection of Thai dishes than the Thai restaurants in Manchester. (Tiya's and Lakorn) and there are Korean dishes as well. I think the wider selection is well executed. Sweet Ginger is worth the trip from Manchester for me.

Rosangela Caixa

Great food!

Chris Linstid

This is my favorite Thai restaurant in NH. The food is almost always top notch, the service is fast and friendly, and the prices are quite low. Both dining in and take out are excellent.

Jason Raff

I'm not a big fan of Thai food, but this place is the exception. First, it's super easy to get to, right off the highway. It's quick, not expensive, and everything I've had there so far has been very good. Favorites so far are the pad thai, duck noodle soup, pik pow fried rice, and sweet ginger bbq pork. They also have bubble tea.

Kathy Robinson

The service was great and the food delicious!

David Brough

Where do I begin, food is awesome from past experiences, but this time we left without eating, service was horrible, they were too consumed with take out orders to take care of us, left dirty dishes in front of us and when she asked to take our order we said we were all set set she said good. Will not be back until they find more help.

Jen Eugley

I've been here twice and it's already our favorite new Thai place! The teriyaki salmon was to die for! Came with steamed rice and sauteed veggies - tasty and just the right amount of food, instead of feeling too full and heavy. The Thai rolls were awesome, too - nice and crispy and great with the pineapple sauce they came with. Service was great - very polite, very attentive but not intrusive. I can't think of anything I'd change about this place. (Just an fyi for families: they have high chairs and a change table in the women's restroom.)

David San Antonio

Nice and clean restaurant. Good service and good food. I’ve had better Thai food but it is still good.

Tom Wagner

Best Thai food around

SCOTT

Sweet Ginger is a great little restaurant. An amazing menu with some great variety. Tasty dishes with a great scale of mild to hot dishes. The place is quaint, clean and the staff is attentive and friendly. Highly recommend this restaurant as it's one of the better establisemts in Merrimack.

Ed McCann

Excellent Thai food and the staff is very friendly. Can't be beat

glitch glitch

The food and portion size is good but the service is terrible. The waitress brought us the correct meals with the wrong meats. They forgot a drink. Took us 20 minute to get seated with a toddler and every waitress made eye contact with us. I had to walk up to the kitchen to get acknowledged and seated. I might order take out from here at some point but I'll never go inside to eat again.

Jamie Bisset

Great food , I come from Scotland and was over here in Jan and loved it then so when I came back over it was a must stop as very enjoyable and the staff are very helpful

Joel K

Its okay. Suffers from being less authentic and more Americanized. When it first opened it was mostly a takeout spot with a couple of tables and the food was MUCH different and higher quality. If pad thai is what you know then, yes, they do that, but theres more to Thai flavors than that. Andy Ricker, [POK POK] would be horrified with this representation. If you like "fusion" flavors, Seoul Kitchen in Westford neither hides the fact that it is fusion, or afraid of retaining a level of authenticity to all the Asian cultures represented. I would go as far as to say, I would doubt there's ginger, fish sauce or lemon grass anywhere near this kitchen [and Shaws doesnt count] The menu here is ridiculously big and redundant, reads like a book, but its purely a case of quantity over quality. Nice enough people but the food is hybrid chinese take out food, sorry, and its not so great. Its always a bad sign when you ask for something extra spicy and it comes with crushed red pepper flakes dumped on it. Thai flavors include an array of fresh chilies last I checked.

Madhu Rajamani

While ambiance and service is good, the taste is very average. I've had better Thai food even in cheaper restaurants.

Alyssa Lamport

Sweet ginger 2 is great! It's a casual restaurant. It's really clean inside, the waitstaff is very polite, and most importantly, the food is very fresh and tasty. Their sauces they pair with their food are like nothing I've ever tasted, very special. They seem very accommodating to alter meals to fit your dietary preferences. The sweet ginger chicken and their curries are great!

Sarah Woodard

Food was meh. Nothing special, not awful. But the service was absolutely awful. Super slow to place orders. Apps were brought out at the same time as the main course. Took forever to have them even bring the bill and another forever for them to actually run my card. My fried paid in cash, but instead of giving her change in small bills so she could leave a tip, they brought her back a $20 bill. When she asked for change, they gave her 4 $5s. Save yourself the trouble. Get take out. But don't expect the meal to be anything amazing.

Susan

The food is almost always perfect— on rare occasion my vegetables have been under-cooked (I always order curry dishes) but otherwise everything is delicious. For context, I have food from here at least one to two times a month and have done so for a couple of years. My only complaint is the service. In recent months service has slowed down terribly, and I often avoid dining in and instead opt for take-out to avoid this. The folks who run the front bar/take-out area are incredibly sweet and helpful!

Kurt Sweetser

So good

George Cavedon

Everything in the menu is fresh and delish!

Michael Evans

Everything is always amazing. Best Thai north of Boston.

Joseph Nardoni

Fine, spicy Thai food.

Michael Williamson

Loved it

Leah Maciejewski

I have been to Sweet Ginger 2 on multiple occasions for take out because it’s the nearest place to get pad thai. A couple months ago, I found a hair in my food. I wrote it off as a mistake; it’s gross, but it happens. Well, I just got another order today, and I found yet another hair. I will not be returning to this restaurant.

Shawn Dumas

Service was quick and wonderful. The food came out very quickly and had a great authentic fresh taste. Staff were very personable and helpful. Wouldn't hesitate to go there again for quality thai cuisine.

Renee Bouthillier

Such nice wait staff. Terrific wonton soup with a flavor I've never tasted before. Very good

Kristen Thackeray

Sweet Ginger 2 has a great staff - they always remember regulars and treat them extra special. The food is very good and quite authentic. Don’t be afraid to ask for a particular level of spice!

Mike Bilodeau

Green curry was great. Duck extra crispy and delicious.

Tien Le

We ordered tamarind duck, Thai steak, and scallion pancakes. All of them are delicious, fresh, and tasty. This is the second visit and we will definitely go back .

Tayla Schipilliti

I always go to sweet ginger because they have the absolute best pad Thai and drinks. The food is fresh and hot every time and the people are awesome. We went to eat in once and the power went out on the entire side of town. Because our food took a little longer they gave us free homemade coconut ice cream as an apology! All around best Thai food, love them and recommend everybody to them!

Ken Burt

First visit. Delicious food. Friendly service. Will return.

Kevin Galeaz

Excellent food with great service.

Norman Lavoie

Amazing thai food.

Meghan Brown

This place is amazing. I have been going here since before they expanded and when their neighbor in the building was a RadioShack. The restaurant has switched hands however, quality hasn't diminished or anything. It is just as awesome as always. They really worked on the interior creating a very nice atmosphere. It is a place where you can reliably get good Thai food. You can also do take out as well. I love the curry and the pad Thai are always spot on. The spring rolls and crab rangoons are alittle different than the traditional Chinese version.

deepti savanur

Awesome Thai food. I am a vegetarian and have lot of options here to order from. Their scallion pancakes, crispy cups( veg) in appetizers and basil fried rice (veg option) and different flavor boba tea is to die for. Have been to this pace several times and the ladies who cook and serve are so friendly, always smiling, and quick to rectify their mistake and give us another plate of food. Will definitely visit place again if I get a chance. BTW, their guava candies which they give it with the check are awesome too. Very nice, warm and cozy ambience and clean, hygienic place.

Jeff DeNeill

Prejudiced owner. She fired two employees, with no notice. The bartender who would quit her 10 year long job at Saint Joe’s hospital, to take the job there, was fired. For no reason. When pressed about why she was terminated. The owners reply was “I am trying to have all THAI people working here”

Brian Bakker

Great food! Eat in or take out it's always great food!!!

Margaux NH

Delicious

talluri nagasreenivasu

Ok food, ordered Korean fried rice. Rice was burnt and couldn’t eat. The waiter agreed to replace it with Thai fried rice. It was decent but not the best we had. Spring rolls are awesome, worth trying. Ordered some spicy fried tilapia but it’s not what the menu says. Don’t think will order it again. Go for Spring Rolls

Belinda Broneske

Absolutely love this place!

Sam Howe

Tom Yum noodle soup is amazing

AJ Dunham

This place never disappoints. Consistently great food and pleasant service.

Aninda Pradhan

Authentic taste

Daryl Johnson

Good food. Excellent service.

Frank Shore

Great pad Thai!

Samantha Chase

Always friendly and good food

bernard daniel

Omg.. Great place for lunch

Joseph L. Selby

Best Thai food in New England. We have become regulars, because we always have a great experience. Beef lo mein kra pow is my favorite. My wife gets the chicken satay and shrimp in a blanket. So delicious!

Rajul Shah

It was 8:30pm when my son and I arrived on a Wednesday. The place was practically empty. I asked for a table in the corner to be comfortable and the waitress complied and got it ready. But it appears the owner or manager had other ideas and moved us to a very small 2-person table next to it. Go figure. I ordered the duck with house sause and it was awful. Very salty and little to no flavor. Will never go to this place again.

Tommy Pelletier

Ordered off the lunch menu. Ordered Siam fried rice without shrimp. I got shrimp in it. I’m allergic to shrimp and couldn’t eat it. I specifically asked and confirmed over the phone to only put chicken in this dish. Quantity’s are very small too. Look elsewhere for Thai food.

Enora Farigoule

Great food
