What a gem of a place. The service was top-notch, and the food was good overall, though a bit on the mild side. We ordered sushi, orange chicken, house lo mein, and soup, all of which were prepared well. Toward the end of our meal, however, we did feel slightly rushed as tables around us were being cleared. Overall, it’s a lovely spot with excellent service, and just a small opportunity to improve the dining pace.

Really nice Asian restaurant. The Sushi is some of the best in Houston and the prices are pretty decent. We got take out but we for sure want to dine there next time as the place looks so nice. They even have a good wine selection.

Visiting Houston for the first time and decided to try Cafe Ginger and I couldn’t be happier with my choice! The food was absolutely outstanding. There’s such a great variety on the menu, and every dish we tried was full of flavor and perfectly balanced. You can really tell care goes into both the ingredients and presentation. Everything tasted fresh, vibrant, and right on point. From start to finish, it was a fantastic dining experience, and I left completely satisfied. If you’re in Houston and looking for a place with delicious food and great options, I highly recommend Coffee Ginger. I’ll definitely be back!

Securing a table was effortless, and the restaurant’s stylish interior immediately impressed. The service was exceptional—attentive without being intrusive. My drink was consistently refilled, and empty plates were promptly cleared, keeping the table tidy. Best of all, the food was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious.

The food here is amazing. It's my first time here and the experience was great. I definitely loved the decorations at this establishment. The service was also great. I went during lunch time and enjoyed their lunch menu. I ordered the eggplant chicken and my taste buds were like " there will be no leftovers " Definitely coming back to try their other menu items.

I love this place. Great atmosphere, the service is terrific. Just dont come in and expect authentic Chinese food. This is Americanized Chinese food, but really good Americanized Chinese food at that! And really generous portions for the price. The shrimp with walnuts, in particular, are fantastic.

This food is so delicious. We had the mini Texas rolls for appetizers. Yum. I had the seafood fried rice and I was impressed in 2 ways. #1 the rice was not greasy or heavy at all. Light and flavorful. #2 the portion was big enough for me to get 2 meals and a snack out of. Flavor was there, value was there, and the service was top notch. They had piano music playing which created this very upscale, classy atmosphere which my partner and I loved.
