Ginger & Fork

My wife and I heard about Ginger and Fork from a few people so we decided to stop for lunch. Best decision we made, this is exactly what a restaurant should be. All the food is made in house and the flavors are pure and clean. We over indulged trying as much as we could and the next course was tastier than the previous one.. My wife and I are both allergic to gluten and there are multiple choices for us to enjoy and we did. The waitstaff was so friendly and helpful it made this dining experience even better. Can't wait to go back

No words. Every single dish we had was amazing. From the appetizers to the dessert! My son loved the chili oil, and he does not do spice. That's how amazing everything was. A great restaurant, and they did not shy away from our family of 7, with 4 of them being kids. Amazing! Oh, and don't let me forget the valet service! Brought our car around right as we exited.

Modern Twist On Authentic Chinese. This was my first time as this Chinese bistro. I really liked it a lot. It’s an intimate setting with a very attentive staff. We ordered a number of things including their specialty cocktail made to celebrate Lunar New Year 2023, the year of the rabbit. Our menu sampler included: Fried Cauliflower, Cha Siu Strips (Succulent Strips Of Cantonese Barbecue Pork), Soup Dumplings, HK Pineapple Chicken, Steamed Garlic Shrimp, a Ginger Margarita, and their specialty cocktail celebrating the Lunar New Year, Gong Hay Fat Choi (Date-infused Four Roses Bourbon, Lemon, Cane 24k Gold Flakes). For dessert we had the Asian Pear Bread Pudding, The Coconut Jelly, and the Gold Rush Custard Bao. I thought everything was great and I look forward to going back in warmer months when the outdoor patio is open.

pretty good Chinese for the Heights area. higher quality but on the pricey side for the quantity of food. more affordable lunch portions. ask for the chili oil. it’s really good. it has fewer chili flakes but has black bean paste. the owner is very friendly to the customers. the service was top notch and the food came out quickly. small parking lot but we went during lunch and it’s wasn’t busy.

Ginger & Fork just celebrated 6-years of business! I first checked them out when they opened in March 2016, and they are still great even in 2022! If you haven't been, Ginger & Fork is a fine dining Chinese restaurant inspired by Hong Kong and Cantonese cuisine. The concept was started by Mary Li who has been a bartender since 1991 and has close to 40-years of industry experience. The restaurant was named by Mary's daughter, Tammie Tse, who learned many benefits of cooking with ginger while obtaining her Master's degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. This mother-daughter duo brought top-notch Chinese cuisine matched with great service, wine, and crafty cocktails inside the inner loop of Houston! Depending on the time of day, Ginger & Fork has a free private parking lot during lunch hours, but it switches to valet-only for dinner. The restaurant itself is inside of a renovated house. I have gone for both lunch and dinner, and the experience is quite different. They have a lunch menu where you can dine in yourself between $10-$20, and the menu changes more to family-style dining after 3 pm. If you come for dinner, definitely grab a craft cocktail. I usually get the Ginger Margarita (El Tesoro Platinum Tequila, Cointreau, Canton Ginger Liqueur, fresh lime juice, ginger) for $17.  This definitely has a spicy kick to it, so beware! As for appetizers, I absolutely love the Spicy Tofu Cubes (lightly fried tofu tossed in salt and peppers) for $10.  The tofu cubes are perfectly fried, not too squishy or soft.  They are served with jalapeños as well. This is something I always order when I come here, and I have not found a place that does spicy tofu cubes better than this! For dinner, they have quite an extensive menu ranging from grains, noodles, seafood, land, and vegetarian options. I have tried many items, but my favorites have been the Cantonese Spicy Squid (lightly fried squid tossed in salt and peppers) for $26 and the Squid Ink Fried Rice (squid, shrimp, Chinese sausage, and scallions) for $24. Overall, I really love Ginger & Fork, and I am happy they opened up so close to my home. Mary and her daughter, Tammie, are awesome. The restaurant has great service, incredible cocktails, and amazing food. If you have a chance to check them out, please order the Spicy Tofu Cubes! You will not be disappointed.
