Ginger Asian Cuisine

Ken and Jay had a craving for Asian food, so we returned to one of our favorite spots, Ginger Asian Cuisines, in Medford, NJ (609-953-7888), on Friday, June 9, 2017. Everyone greeted us, and wondered where we had been...

We, as always, had a enjoyable meal.

We shared Coconut Shrimp w/Honey Wasabi Sauce and Vietnamese Beef with Grape Leaves for appetizers:



Ken enjoyed the Mongolian Pork, and will request it again in the near future.


Jay was satisfied with the Singapore Noodles (similar to Mei Fun), which were quite flavorful and filled with shrimp, beef, and pork.

Jay asked for a container for the honeydew, which was brought out with the bill, and our server brought a full container! Yum!

Love this place, and the wonderful people!
