Red Ginger Suntree

The Lemon Chicken I had was good, but pricey. My friend had the shrimp teriyaki bento box, and wasn't so impressed. With tip and soup to go, lunch was $70!!!!

I spent 4 days in downtown Tampa for the FL Bar Exam and got spoiled having okonomiyaki and bao (with different meat fillings, red bean filling, coconut cream filling, but also a breakfast bao, hamburger bao and bbq bao). When I returned to Viera West, I wanted bao badly but a nearby search in Grubhub found this place (but no bao pics on the app) so I was confused. Still, the menu intrigued me and the reviews revealed why it’s priced higher than Hop Bo, Thai Hana and my more local Asian restaurants. On Sunday, I had made rice in my zojinshi and stir fry mushrooms,zucchini and cabbage in my wok but I was missing meat so I resolved to get some on Monday. On Monday afternoon, I placed a Grubhub order for pickup on my way home from work. The restaurant is located in the strip-of-stores plaza next to the ALDI plaza in Suntree so I took US1 North then Pineda to Wickham. Pickup was simple with not much of a greeting but I was still in my work clothes with badge and even I don’t talk to LEO/cops when off-duty so I get it. While waiting for my packaged dinner, I noticed the bar had 2 elderly couples being regaled by the younger male bartender. There were tables in the room to the left of the hostess lectern; the tables were stylishly set with white tablecloths, cloth napkins and water goblets awaiting a dinner crowd. It looks like a fine place for a date night if this food is as good as the reviews, I thought. I decided to try 2 menu items I’ve not had before: zhong’s dumplings and shredded pork peking style. I was NOT disappointed. I’ve no idea who Zhong is but these 5 dumplings bearing his name were sweet yet spicy, seasoned with scallions, and filled with meat. I can definitely see why they’re $12/$13 per order - they’re the bomb! As for the shredded pork Peking style (which I added atop my own cooked white rice despite my order coming with their white rice because I really just wanted the meat; I’ll eat their rice later), it was also sweet-spicy delicious (I ordered medium spice, but I think I’ll go spicier next time). The amount in the photo is not even half of what was in the flat to-go container. I thought I’d eat seconds but all 5 dumplings, a portion of shredded pork Peking style, stir fry vegetables and white rice was filling enough. I’ve got enough pork for leftovers. In my package was a card about the quality of their food (perhaps one reason for the higher price point), which was appreciated. It also had a QR code for their menu so I used my phone’s camera to pull it up and lo and behold! They serve steamed pork dumplings like the dinner bao I had in Tampa - which is what I was looking for all along! Maybe if the Grubhub app had a photo (hint, hint) or the hostess offered a physical takeout menu, I would’ve ordered this on Monday before even leaving the restaurant. Oh well, looks like I have another order to place with Red Ginger…

Good food, fresh veggies and fast accurate delivery. They deliver, you don't need grub hub (save yourself $6 or give to the driver instead!) Locally owned and run, have japanese & Chinese styles of Asian food (no cartilage or anything unfamiliar to the American palate no worries!) Great flavors, good textures, great portions and consistency.

Absolutely AMAZING. We have lived in Melbourne for 8 years and have struggled to find a restaurant that was just not "good" we have been to Red Ginger several times and it has been our go to for Chinese and Sushi. Tonight we experienced Singapore noodles.... it was EXCELLENT. Great flavors great heat! No longer can I call Melbournes food choice Melborring. Compliments to the chef and wonderful staff.

Excellent. Probably the best high quality Chinese restaurant in the whole area. The Peking Duck with its hoisin sauce was absolutely delicious. Looking forward to try more. The only minor point was that the kitchen was not very visible from the outside, I like to look inside, but the bathroom was clean so it seemed fine overall.
