About

About Wild Ginger

Wild Ginger is the pan-Asian institution Seattle diners have relied on for three decades — now with a Bellevue dining room that brings the fragrant duck, the seven-flavor beef, and the satay bar to the Eastside. Come with a group and order across the menu; the kitchen is built for shared meals.

Highlights

What makes it special

  • Pan-Asian menu spanning Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese, and Malaysian traditions
  • Signature fragrant duck and seven-flavor beef
  • Satay bar and cocktail program built around Southeast Asian ingredients

What you'll experience

The visit, in detail

Start at the satay bar — chicken, prawn, lamb — with a Southeast Asian cocktail while your table gets set. Move to the fragrant duck, seven-flavor beef, and a whole steamed fish with ginger and scallion. The wine list leans on aromatic whites built for spice; the beer list is strong on Asian imports.

Best time

When to visit

evening

Book 6:30–8 pm on weeknights; the satay bar is the best walk-in seat for solo diners.
