Great food and service. It was a very nice place with wonderful staff. We were looking for a quiet date night so this was not the place for that. It was very close quarters and quite loud. The food was delicious but a bit overpriced. I would go back again for the ginger margarita!!!

This restaurant is such a wonderful place to eat. With family, friends and date nights. The food is always delicious. The staff is quick with recommendations and descriptions. The drinks are unreal. Well balanced and a lot of thought into their construction and quality. Mary, Mark and Tammy make all their guests feel like family!

One of my favorite restaurants in Houston! The food is consistently great - get the soup dumplings, spicy cucumbers and tofu small plates - and the service is always above and beyond. The ginger margarita is a must! They also have a “secret menu” - I ordered the longevity noodles with chicken and white sauce. Delicious!

This was our 4th time here. By now it should be our 20th time but we live too far away. So sad. Because it’s so good! The cocktails are divine and the food is fabulous! It has never disappointed! Especially love the attentive and friendly owner and the great service!

Excellent service and food definitely try the curry chicken and spicy eggplant dishes. The Social Royal drinks were amazing. G&F is consistently outstanding.

We celebrated my mother’s 80th birthday and could not have asked for a better experience. The variety and quality of the food was terrific. The service was so friendly and just the right amount of attentive. Mary herself even presented Mom with a delicious ginger parfait and lead a round of Happy Birthday with the wait staff. Our meals were wonderful and even though we all ordered separately we wound up enjoying it family style. The curry chicken was super flavorful but not overpowering. The HK shrimp was the largest and most tender we’ve seen! The G&F Fried rice was generous and tasted great and the snow pea & beef was wonderfully savory. Zero left over to box up. For appetizers we had lettuce wraps and spicy tofu cubes. Even my somewhat picky 16 year old ate everything! Bravo and thank you for the lovely dinner, Ginger & Fork :)

This is a fantastic restaurant! To say the food is outstanding is an understatement. They set a very high standard in quality and customer service. This is my favorite restaurant for family events. They really understand all kinds of needs, including how to accommodate allergies and monitor for different protein needs.

It’s our new go to for Chinese. Kids and wife love it and I have not had anything I don’t like. Try the Pear Breadpuddung for dessert
