This is one of the best restaurants you can tryin St. John’s. The food is very fresh and tasty. Nice and cozy restaurant with positive vibe. I ordered B2 which is Basil beef and it was really good.

My first visit, and definitely not my last! The food was fresh and DELICIOUS, and it's a really small and cute and quaint and romantic. I was on a date, and the vibe was exactly perfect. I had the Chicken Pad Thai and it was so good. Seriously, so good. I cleaned my plate.

thoroughly ok food. pho was interesting - no red onion, no beansprouts, lime, and Thai basil on the side. pad Thai was alright, portion on the small side. not great but not bad.

Stopped in randomly with my husband on the way home today since neither of us felt like cooking dinner.Dining room is simple, comfortable and clean, in a great location from downtown but unfortunately the views aren't the best, haha. That's totally out of their control, though, and there was lots of great light coming in to make the place cheery!Staff were very friendly and asked right away if we had any special dietary requirements. We were seated fairly quickly, despite the restaurant being almost full and not having a reservation. Unfortunately once seated with menus it took quite a while to be served again; A table of 4 came in after us and were seated, had orders taken and were given waters/cutlery while we sat waiting for someone to return to our table.When someone did finally come back to take our orders we were given water but no cutlery or napkins. Our appetizer arrived and once finished they came to clear the plate and then realized we had no napkins or cutlery. Perhaps they were short staffed or something but it was a bit disappointing to seem to be missed with a larger table receiving better service across the room.Our food was... food. The Pho seemed overly greasy and the sprouts were at the bottom of the bowl so they lost their snappy freshness in the hot broth; everything just seemed soggy, overcooked and bland. I was hungry, so I ate it, but I remarked to my husband that it seemed almost like the 'Chef Boyardee' version of Pho compared to the various other Vietnamese/Asian restaurants I've been to.

My husband and I came here for lunch, thinking we would be in and out in under an hour (his allotted break time). When we arrived, there were 3 tables seated and was not very busy. It did pick up to a full house during our stay. It took 45 minutes from when we sat down to when we had food on our table, which didn't leave much time to eat. There was only one server, so I do give some grace, but it did take 20 minutes for our order to be taken.In terms of the food, the pho was lacking. Coming from Calgary and having to traveled to Vietnam, we've had many pho meals over the years. The bean sprouts were at the bottom of the bowl (instead of served on the side) so they were soggy and no crunch. The broth flavor was not on par, and the serving size was quite small for the price point. We would not return for the pho.The spring rolls were quite good. $8.00/2 was a little pricey, but they are on the thicker side so I can understand the reasoning.The Chicken Pad Thai was decent. The noodles were short (cut maybe?) which was odd to me, but the flavors were there along with a decent amount of spice.Overall, we would consider returning to try the curry or other items to see if there is a meal we would crave enough to go back for. Will update this review with other thoughts.

We had an absolutely lovely dinner. In addition to the food being excellent (the pad Thai was a favourite!), the service was even better. Our server Nicole was phenomenal and went above and beyond to accommodate allergies for one of our party. Would come back for sure!

Went to this place for my wife’s birthday. The location is very modern and newly-renovated with a wheelchair access ramp. There’s plenty of seating inside, and the decor is very fresh, modern, and undeniably Thai! We we t on a Saturday night during St. Patty’s day weekend, so the place was packed! Despite this, we only waited four minutes for our table, and then we were seated. Appetizers came out quickly; within 10-15 minutes of ordering, and mains followed soon after (10 mins after the mains). The northern Thai egg noodles were very tasty, and we ordered them hoping they’d be similar to Khao Soi (they are similar, but not identical). The basil chicken was delicious! The veggies were tender and succulent, with the perfect balance of crunch and heat. The chicken was also very tasty, however there were some pieces that tasted a bit rubbery as if they had been boiled. The strange part - the chicken did t come with any rice, so I had yo order it separately on the side. The fried banana with ice cream was delicious; not overly sweet or otherwise over the top, but instead the perfect blend of umami, sweetness, and savoury. Some pro-tips; make a reservation beforehand, and irder rice as a side if your dish doesn’t come with any!

Since my utensils were dirty, I could only imagine how the kitchen area is maintained. This being said, our waitress was friendly and professional. The issue is what may be happening in the kitchen.

Only Vietnamese option In town. Thankfully its good. I always have the pork noodle bowls and never disappoints. Shrimp spring rolls (condom wraps) are small and never wrapped properly, I've given them a few tries but won't get them again. Too bad as they are my favorite Vietnamese item to eat.

Gingergrass is by far the best Thai/Vietnamese restaurant I’ve ever eaten at. The owners are so nice and the food is always top quality. My only complaint, they left Halifax and moved to St John’s! I need to get me to NFLD! Highly recommend if you’ve not tried them yet. 15/10 Best anywhere.
