Ginger Flower Restaurant

Above average Thai place in Long island. We ordered take out and it took them less than 10 minutes to make our food. Their green curry is what i recommend! The flavor is on point and they arent cheap with meat. We also ordered padthai but the sauce kinda tasted like ketchup.

Super nice owners, good chinese food, crappy Thai food. but clearly I shouldn’t go to a Chinese restaurant for good thai. Good egg rolls and good basic chinese takeout. In terms of thai… had the penang curry which was gross, pad thai didn’t taste like thai at all.

Quick review but the curry I asked for wasn’t spicy or have extra peanuts. I told them I’d pay extra for it and I did. Just another generic Chinese owned place that cares only about making money, not their customers or making tasty food.

We used to like this place, but the General TSO’s chicken always tastes funky and is often hard, old & stale instead of soft. Also, if that wasn’t bad enough one time I had some sort of metallic spiral thingy in my Thai dish. I saved it and showed it to the woman at the front desk (the Owner?) and she was just like, «Oh sorry! That from box. Haha!» — What was that all about? She should have refunded my meal or at least handed me over a couple of free sodas or something. What would that cost them? Another time I saw her berate one of the workers quite badly for not putting one of my items I was waiting for in my bag on the counter. Instead, he just handed it to me. No big deal, but she almost castrated him for it! I’ve went here too many times and given them WAY too much business and chances over the years. Never again! I’d suggest you avoid this place like the plague especially after taking in to consideration some of the other reviews which are even worse than mine! (i.e.: BUGS!)

This is one of the better Asian take out food places in Franklin Square. My husband and I always order the pad thai and panang curry. Their pad thai doesnt have that overwhelming egg flavor that bad pad thai sometime have in the dish.
Their pan fried dumpling and eggplant dish are also pretty good.

If you know what to order, you probably won’t be disappointed with Ginger Flower.
Their Roti Canai is a must have. It’s buttery and comes with a curry dipping sauce. It’s excellent.
The Pineapple fried rice is a favorite of mine. They put crumbled peanuts and frazzled onions on top which taste great mixed in the rice.
The pad thai is generally good, however if you order on a busy day it can be a disaster and be missing ingredients, or just be all around awful tasting.
This place also had chinese, and I have only ever ordered the wonton soup which is delicious. The wontons are al dente and the broth is pleasant.
Avoid the curries. They’re watery and bland. Under the older ownership, they must have had a different chef. In the past the curry was thick and very flavorful. About 2 years ago the recipe changed, and I have avoided their curry like the plague since then.
Overall, I really enjoy this place. And compared to the other thai take out places in the general vicinity, this place wins my order.

We ordered many kinds of Thai dishes for delivery from here yesterday, but any of them didn’t have right flavor. I don’t think they use any of Thai herbs like lemongrass or lime leaves. All vegetables and meat are cut like Chinese style. For Tom Yum Soup, they use shiitake mushrooms instead of brown mushrooms and use fried shrimp insted of whole shelled shrimp. For massaman curry, they add French fries. And it took over one hour to deliverd. My husband and I were so exited to have Thai food so we were relly disappointed by this place. We will never order from here.

BF and I went here for quick dinner on Easter (nothing else close was open). I had never been there before and was pleased to see Thai options on the menu. I ordered scallion pancakes and Massaman Curry Chicken — a favorite of mine. BF ordred Pad Thai. Scallion pancakes were fine. Not good, just fine. Massamam Curry Chicken had no flavor whatsoever. They also forgot to put the potatoes in it but later brought me over some french fries to toss in. Not exactly the same thing… The Pad Thai tasted like it had ketchup on it. Awful.
The worst part was noticing an exposed sewage pipe on the way out. Never eating there again!

We ordered take out from here a few times. We have come to like the Thai menu. We have had the panang chicken curry (hold the eggplant). As well as the basil beef and the Singapore noodles which are quite tasty.

I would avoid this place, and the only reason they don’t get one star is they actually serve food. There is a much better option roughly a mile away on Hempstead Turnpike which I will review right after this one.
I went in here a few times, for one the wait is way too long. Secondly, they offer Thai/​Chinese and although the Chinese was bad, the Thai was inedible. The Chicken Curry was just not flavorful, and it was SO overcooked that the chicken was the consistency of tofu. The Chinese was forgetful at best, although the fried rice I did like but I could have made that at home in 20 minutes.
Sorry Ginger Flower, your name is cool and reminds me of a Super Mario Brothers character, but that is all I will remember about this place.

Yes

The food is alright here. I like the roti canai app. The thai food options are better then the chinese. Try the steak fried rice with chicken instead of steak (it has like a curry sauce fried with the rice). If you want really good thai food then your better off going to a real thai restaurant but this is the only local thai/​chinese food place that i know delivers thai food. The thai places dont seem to deliver. I did not like the General Tsos chicken here. Yea its hard to believe any asian place could screw that dish up. And its located right next door to Red Mango frozen yogurt which is a plus.

Good place and prices. You could have a full deliciously seasoned meal if you rather not go to a restaurant. I would honestly recommend take out because the space is not large for dining in– only three tables. The lady that takes the orders is also very polite. One of my fav thai places. Oh also order in advance because you always have to wait 15 – 20 minutes for your food!

My husband and I get take out from here quite often. General tsao wings are our favorite. We’re not too crazy about the curries, which to our palate is a little too bland. But basil chicken is very good. We didnt quite like the chinese menu though. Thai menu is very good.
