I recently stopped by Ancient Ginger in St. James for their General Tso's Chicken lunch special, complete with pork fried rice and wonton soup, and it was an absolute standout meal! The General Tso's Chicken was perfection – tender, juicy pieces of chicken coated in a crispy batter that held up beautifully, tossed in a bold, tangy sauce with just the right kick of heat from the hot peppers. It delivered that ideal balance of sweet, spicy, and savory without being overwhelming. The pork fried rice was equally impressive: fluffy, flavorful grains packed with generous bits of pork, fresh vegetables, and an outstanding depth of taste that elevated the whole dish.

We had dinner at my favorite restaurant ancient ginger last night. The food was amazing, and all the ingredients were fresh. My favorites are the cold sesame noodles, egg rolls, and fried shrimp dipped in a sweet and spicy sauce. The most popular dish is the dumplings.

I'm a vegetarian, and they have a lot of vegan options. They have General Tso's tofu, Sichuan tofu, and . The sauce is rich and spicy, the spice level is just right, the prices are reasonable, the portions are generous, and the waiters are friendly and attentive. I'll definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone who loves Chinese food! Five stars!
