The Ginger Pig

A little loud in the space and the 2 top tables cramped together, but the food was amazing! The crab green curry was delicious.

Honestly, another whiff on the mariot/michelin accolades of Denver. The chef/owner seemed to have an Eat, Pray, Love type of adventure in Asia and then tries to replicate it here in Denver. And the menu selection showcases the clichés. The food is, fine. Not bad. Call it fancy fusion. But there's better Asian food in Denver for better prices, which I will go to instead of here.

Pretty decent Asian food I especially liked the crab green curry! Also there are a ton of amazing gluten free options. I does feel a bit overpriced but I guess that is becoming standard in Denver.

Ate here last night and really enjoyed the food and service. The Matcha Gimlet was a great way to start the evening (definitely boozy but tasty). We then continued with the Bangkok curry balls, Galam Plee Pad Nam Pla - Thai Cabbage, and the Karaage - Japanese Fried Chicken. Come early because they ran out of a lot of their popular dishes near close. Came here on Valentine’s Day around 7 PM, and the wait was 30 minutes which wasn’t bad at all!! No reservations - walk in only.

It’s our go to spot for Friday night!

I rarely write negative reviews, and generally look askance at those whose profiles are nothing but negativity. So when I give a 1 star review, it’s for a damned good reason. I have very rarely left a restaurant disgusted, but that’s what happened tonight at Ginger Pig. My girlfriend and I arrived an hour before closing to a staff of people more interested in their weekend plans and post-shift shots than taking an order. Despite being the only people at the bar we still had to wave to get attention. We were eventually served by what I can only describe as the most unsanitary bartender I’ve ever seen at a formal restaurant. This woman started by loading the dishwasher, thereby touching dozens of dirty dishes, and then proceeded to make our drinks without washing her hands. We stared in shock as she later went to pick her teeth with a cocktail straw, then unload the dishwasher (touching all the clean dishes), again without washing her hands. I’ve always wondered what kind of person needs reminding to wash their hands after using the restroom. Now I know. This was the worst example but not the only case. We saw other servers handle cards, receipts, dirty glasses, then proceed to touch items destined for patrons. I don’t know how this restaurant has passed a health inspection. We were so excited to try this place and after seeing the menu and reading the other reviews. I hope the management and ownership see this and course-correct to get back on track.

SO. GOOD.

My friend wanted to try because it was on her magazine so three of us went and the bill was closed to $200 for 2 appetizers, 3 main dishes (they charged $3 for egg yolk to Mentaiko Spaghetti w/ Egg Yolk that priced for $23 so total of this dish actually $26), 3 $7 drinks, and 1 French toast. There is 5% service charge while it's more like self service and tip expected. Food is just so so to Asian like me. Steam rice was a bit mushy (if I accidentally cooked like that I consider bad batch and likely go to porridge). We would not go back again and think it's way too expensive for what we got. The staff were very nice though. Parking: Quite limited and dark

The flavors are sometimes good, but the food is very, very greasy. I'm sure this in the spirit of authenticity or whatever, but the western palate can do without excessive grease. The 69% tip option isn't witty enough to not rub folks the wrong way in a climate of tip fatigue, especially in a low-service restaurant. I would've skipped the review but for this weird tip option.

Delicious!
