Surprisingly decent quality food for a good price. Really fast service at a convenient location. Will return.

I love how fast they are at this place. They have numerous options you can choose from. The phở is outstanding and trust me, I’ve tried different phos all over the city nothing compares to this one(this particular location) I love love love it. However, there’s a female cashier that’s usually there that’s a bit rude. Besides that I give this place 10⁄10. Totally recommend it

I’ve been here a few times now. There’s tons of selection on the menu so it’s very easy to get lured into coming back. I really like how basically every item on the menu has a picture that goes along with it, so you know what you’re ordering. The beef phở is excellent; the noodles are the perfect texture, the broth is delightfully aromatic, the price is very reasonable, and you can garnish your soup with a variety of hot sauces and finish it off with some lime wedges. In contrast, the pad thai is not very good. It tastes like it’s made with ketchup/tomato sauce and not tamarind, which makes it taste like a 3rd grader prepared it. One plus is that many of the items serve chopped peanuts and fresh, crispy bean sprouts in addition to the entrée. Take-out portions are rather small. The restaurant isn’t all that fancy, but if you’re just looking for a cheap warm healthy bowl of phở for lunch I haven’t found a better place in this area – yet.

Their Banh Mi(Vietnamese sandwiches) are REALLYGOOD! Try it if you go to this restaurant, okay? I promise you will NOT regret!

Sadly spent some money here on veg spring rolls and tofu banh mi. The spring rolls(I wanted fresh, but got fried, oily monster) were piping hot and crispy. That’s the best compliment I could give it. The banh mi was packed with fried tofu cubes oozing with more oiliness. There were some carrot shreds, cucumber slices, and raw onions in there, but this was not remotely a banh mi sandwich. No freshness. No bright flavors. Just sad.

This is the place to go for quick, affordable, and filling Thai and Vietnamese lunch, dinner, or late-night options! I’ve had regular brisket phở as well as a shrimp stir-fry with pad thai noodles and bean sprouts, and other dishes as well, such as a chili chicken stir-fried rice, and a shrimp stir-fry. It’s quite easy to find healthy options here, with minimal fat. Noodles tend to be a bit healthier than stir-fried rice, which can be greasy. There are so many menu items that it’s hard to remember what one has had, but it’s usually very good, served quick, and if you get a seat by the window later at night, lounge a bit and people-watch :)

More like a takeout place, no service, table sticky, the space is a little bit dark. Definitely had better phở before. Price ok but not cheap. Won’t go again

Ginger’s Vietnamese fast food is surprisingly good. I had a combo with beef and curry chicken. The meats were tender. The beef was nicely seasoned. The platter came with a good sized pile of crisp vegetables. They’re fast, cheap and give good sized portions of fresh, tasty food.

The Vietnamese equivalent to a McDonald’s offers everything from phở to spring rolls. I ordered the curry chicken fried rice, which to my surprise wasn’t that bad. The curry was a bit dry, and curry a little too thick for my liking but overall was good. I would order something else next time though. The employees were patient and polite too!

This is one of those places that you would think is open 24⁄7. It’s not. For that, you need to go to the train phở place on Spadina. I usually get the vermicelli bun($ 7.25) with the grilled pork, chicken, beef, whatever I’m feeling that day. Sometimes get the Phở w/rare beef which is decent. Spring roll is nice, although I’m not sure what’s in it. The resto itself is probably a bit below average in terms of cleanliness. I worry how often the seats are cleaned(if at all). So don’t linger too long, which I think is what they’re aiming for anyways. It’s consistent, it’s fast, it’s average priced. It’s where you go when you want to get something quick but not a food court, something that’s actually cooked for you.

I came here for lunch one month ago. There are many choices of meal on menu. I ordered the rice noodle soup with rare beef, which was sent to my table very quick. The noodle soup is large and delicious and is not expensive at all. One drawback might be that the number of seats is less(about 30) so you have to wait or sit with strangers in the rush hours. Recommend for those people who are hungry with limited budget.

Great for a quick lunch, and a craving for average vietnamese food downtown. I would order things that are hard to screw up, like vermicelli with meats, as opposed to noodle soups(go to a better place for that). Prices are decent, and service is fast. Be prepared to share a table when it gets busy.

I came by on a Tuesday night to grab a quick bite to go before hitting the movies that night. I had the curry chicken pad thai and was pleasantly surprised given the review I’ve read here. The pad thai was on the sweeter side and at first I thought the portion was on the smaller side as well. However, the crunchy beansprouts and shredded cabbage really went well with the dish and they definitely did to skimp on the chicken. A great choice if you are looking for something quick and easy to get to go. I definitely wouldn’t suggest eating in because the place smells very strongly of bleach and cleaning agents whenever I’m there for some reason…

If you want a decent filling meal for under $ 10, this is where you go –The Phở soup is always great. –Sandwiches are filling –spring rolls are crispy and greasy –even the pad thai is enjoyable as long as you arent expecting a traditional pad thai(i actually like that it comes with alot of shredded vegetables to mix in it as well) if you come here, dont have crazy expectations for these prices in a quick serve eatery like ginger service is so fast and efficient

This quick takeout place is reasonably priced if you are looking for some Asian food or a bowl of phở. You can even eat there where there are a few tables and self-serve yourself with a glass of water with lemon. The place rolls out your food in no time whether you eat there or buy takeout. The food is delivered to your table with no tip required.

Cheap, decent Vietnamese food. Good for lunch, but not a place to have a group dinner. Phở is not that great, rolls are decent, fast food pan Asian.

I was very disappointed in the curry chicken pad thai. The pad thai was made with a ketchup sauce! I guess you get what you pay for. This will be my one and only visit to this place.

Not the place to go for authentic vietnamese food. The atmosphere is more of a cafeteria style where you order your food at the counter and they bring it to you. The service is really fast and its great for quick lunch/dinner. But the spring rolls are pricey, and they miss the 2 most important ingredients: mint and cucumbers! The vermicelli noodles are mediocre. I would recommend their phở if you want the most vietnamese style food.

Service is frighteningly fast — while they’re taking your order, they’re simultaneously processing someone else’s. The food, however is mediocre. I thought that my vermicelli was fine — but my two friends who ordered the beef phở were sorely disappointed. The meat was not even close to rare, and the broth’s seasoning left a lot to be desired. This place does win, though, on price. If you need a quick bite and don’t want to drop a lot of dough, this place could do in a pinch. There’s far better options, though, elsewhere on Queen.
