    I love Wild Ginger! I have been going to this restaurant (primarily the Downtown location) since 1994. And it is as good now as it was then! Keep it up WG!

    We really enjoyed our visit to Musang, and it is well worth the effort to book the reservation ahead of time (they tend to fill up!). The waitress helped us understand the menu and offered a lot of details about the flavors and dishes. The food was incredible with many different flavors and textures unlike anything we had ever tasted. The restaurant was very full, and the seating was tight and open (no booths etc), so the noise level was a bit high due to so many people talking in the room. All the staff were highly knowledgeable and took pride in their work and sharing the amazing food they make. Highly recommend this for anyone who wants a top-notch culinary adventure showcasing the very best of Filipino cuisine. I gave four stars for value because it was more expensive than anticipated - I had brought a gift certificate thinking it would cover most of the meal for 2 and we easily spent more than twice the value of the certificate. (We did order a couple fancy drinks though.) The food is definitely high quality but I did feel the prices were a little high.
