"The Appetizer Sampler is great for the price. so good."
"The General Gau’s Chicken was bland and came in a small portion for the price. The Crab Rangoon (8) was some of the worst I've ever had. At least the Alligator Roll was tasty. Overall a disappointing experience. Usually restaurants go for either quality or quantity, but Red Ginger don't accomplish either."

"Both CHICKEN TERIYAKI and BEEF TERIYAKI were delicious and good size portions and the vegetables were a pleasant surprise! Fried rice was very flavorful. The DUMPLINGS (6pcs) were cooked to perfect crispness. VEGETABLE SPRING ROLL was also tasty. Overall a very good choice!"
"the teriyaki chicken is so much more salty than when I eat this at the mall. And it is lacking the sweetness that it usually has. The rice and veggies are fine but a smaller portion than you get in person, they put it in a smaller plastic container. I would not order this again for takeout."

"The Pho Chicken Noodle Soup was one of the best I've ever had including ones I've had in Vietnam. So many fresh and authentic flavors, fresh sliced jalapeño, Thai basil, Mung beans. The sliced chicken was tender. The rice noodles cooked perfectly. I added the chicken dumplings which also were delicious! I never wrote reviews on DoorDash but this place deserved one! 5 STARS!!!! "
"The chicken goyza (I always get deep fried) is always phenomenal. Very crunchy and well seasoned. The portion is hard to split between two people because of the odd number but they're so delicious I get them every time I order with someone else so they can try them. I would order again, I regularly come here. The food is always fresh and amazing."

"The Pho Beef was disappointing. The beef paper thin and there were two half palm size pieces. There were also barely any bean sprouts. It was a bowl of noodles and jalapeños. I didnt receive chopsticks or a spoon. The only thing that was decent was the broth. For 20$ I was really expecting more. "
"Pho is mediocre at best. Tiny portions of meat- even when we paid $7 for extra, they just cut the original portion in half. Quality of meat is sub par. Depth of flavor in broth was completely nonexistent. Came with lemon instead of lime. Will not order again."

"As a gluten free person, it's hard to find GREAT gf noodles. This was amazing!"
"The spring rolls have a heavy layer on the outside with a filling all mush. The greens garnish arrives wilted and gross. The rolls are 1/3rd the typical size. I had a double order, and the dipping sauce scant. Flatware for one. The gyoza are miniature and leathery. Again same garnish complaint. Flavor was not bad overall but, generic in nature. Not not not worth the price, a waste of money in my view. I will not be back(((("

The quality of the chicken was excellent. (No fatty bites). He already wants to go back tomorrow. I would definitely recommend!"

"Always delicious and fresh. Separated hot from cold dishes in take out bag. Food on time. our favorite"
"Service and atmosphere are great. Very nice venue with fantastic staff and pretty presentation of food. The flavors are absolutely absent. I've had Jindu 4/5 times twice in restaurant and a few times take out. Each time I have the same issue, the food is just extremely bland. Absolutely flavorless and offensively overpriced. For example a simple single portion of chicken and mixed vegetable for take out is $30. Same with a basic beef and broccoli. It tastes like you're eating unseasoned meat in warm water, just completely absent of flavor. This is not a one time issue this is consistent. The authenticity is also alarmingly inaccurate. If you order their szechuan beef, it comes as a gross soupy stew type beef dish. That is absolutely not how szechuan beef is made. Their sushi is solid, but their entrees and particularly their traditional Chinese good dishes are absolutely a rip off. Your run of the mill chinese food joint is much tastier and cheaper. The prices are absolutely absurd."

"Omg bro this sushi was so good like the crab was so fire. I've had many Snow Crab California Roll (4pcs) but nothing beats this. Ofc sushi isn't crazy cheap but you honestly can't beat to price + lack of extra delivery fees. I like a little bit of everything so a dollar per sushi piece is amazing especially since it's super fresh and flavorful. Excuse the small mess in the pics I'm not that good with chopsticks."

"Wow!! Listen, just trust me on this one! Delicious!! Oh, and no skimping on the meat WHATSOEVER! I have bought food from just about every Indian place in both Worcester & Middlesex County- I literally feel like I got more than what I paid for. I wish I could personally thank the cook - thank you !"
"Have been ordering from this place for coupe of years now. Mutter paneer, samosa(omg!) mushroom tikka, paneer tikka, chilli garlic naan, black dal, yellow dal, aloo gobi are authentic and flavorful. One of the best North Indian/punjabi food I have had in US. I wish they did stuffed parathas and paneer rolls/wraps , this is the only place I think can pull off authentic home style stuffed parathas. Almost never disappointed except when they had the most amazing spring roll , they changed the recipe of it I think, it doesn't look or taste the same."
