yearning for great... was disappointed. i had heard a lot of recommendations for thai ginger and we were in the mood for somegreatthai food. my wife and i invited four other guests to join us for a nice night out. we are new to redmond and still searching for all of thegreatplaces to eat in the area. i have exceptionally high standards for thai food since i was born in thailand and have lived there off and on for over 14 years. i speak fluent thai. we ordered 7 dishes and not one was a dish that i would ever recommend to anybody else to eat. the portions were small and the dishes were bland. the rice was mushy and the service was mediocre. it was so bad that we skipped the dessert selections. when i go out for thai food i'm expecting agreatblend of sharp flavors (sweet, spicy, salty, fishy, citrus, etc.). at thai ginger i got none of that. we will not be returning. not at least if i'm paying.
