Gingerboy

Saturday night banquet feasting at Gingerboy was to much fun. Dined from GB Banquets. The food was incredible. We had a vegetarian in the group who was catered to on the Vegetarian banquet so did not miss out on any fun. Standout dishes from the group were the Son in Law Eggs and the Chicken Spare Ribs 😋 …I also always love a good Cucumber Salad! We did the early sitting so they needed the table back when the second sitting arrived. We were able to move upstairs to the bar to continue drinking through the yummy wine list which was lovely. The bar staff were awesome, so attentive and great conversation from both staff and other customers sitting at the bar. Thanks to the team at Gingerboy for a fabulous night!

I have never had better food in my life. It was absolutely delish. Best restaurant ever. Absolutely fantastic service from June, Lily, Nicole, Jenny, Yvan and Alex (very friendly all of them). My favourite dish was the chicken spare ribs so yummy. I would 100/10 recommend. Such a good experience at Gingerboy. Thanks!

The service is impeccable and they went above and beyond to check on some dietary requirements. The Thai moon cocktail was so good that we ended up ordering more than one. They have a good wine list as well. The fish was cooked perfectly and the duck curry was rich but very tasty. The desserts were rich and decadent but if you don't have a big sweet tooth would recommend splitting one for 2 people. Thank you for making a very memorable dining experience and we would definitely be back.

🍤 Prawn Bun 🥟 Half Shell Scallops, Pork Dumplings 🥒 Smashed Cucumber Salad 🍣 Kingfish Sashimi 🥚 Son in Law Eggs 🥩 MS7 Sher Wagyu 🧄 Stir Fried Ride Noodle Rolls, Vegan XO, Cos Lettuce, Rice 🍦Mango/Passionfruit and Coconut/Lime Sorbet Gingerboy is a vibrant CBD restaurant & bar with funky, disco-style decor dishiing up south-east Asian, street style eats. Head Chef Teage created a menu with a nod to his favourite hawker adventures. 🥟 Not only is the food SE Asian inspired but so is there killer drinks list. Even though some ingredients were missing, their expert bar staff were able to mix us up something even better. You can take a seat at the bar down stairs or upstairs for a meal, it’s the perfect vibe to catch up with friends. The service here was amazing and definitely has improved from previous visits, we felt they went above and beyond to ensure we were looked after. We ordered their Luxe Journey Banquet Menu ($100pp) and although we had some strict allergies, we were fed very well. You will not be hungry after this! 👅 The first few dishes were okay (Kingfish, Son in Law Egg, Cucumber Salad) lacked seasoning and that wow factor. The Scallops were sadly very dry and the Prawn Buns were delicious but only lightly filled leaving us craving more. 🍤 Dish of the night for me was the drool worthy Wagyu Steak, the Rice Noodle Rolls and the spicy Gyoza. I don’t feel the rice and lettuce were well thought out sides, some greens would have been better. 🥩 Now that I know which dishes I enjoy, I would probably order from the A La Carte Menu next time but the Banquet is perfect for groups who may find the menu too overwhelming to choose from. It was a mixture of shared and individuals dishes and as a party of 3 we often had 2 dishes to share which was plenty. So good for odd numbers 😉 ⭐️ 3.5/5 (Good)

Wonderful food, great follow though on small concerns, nice selection of wine, service with a smile and a good balance between chatty and professional, ambiance was unique which I loved, price was totally acceptable considering. Unfortunately I hate paying good money and having the back of my chair often rubbing the person behind me. Sorry I have been to my fair share of restaurants ... Quality, Pubs, Cheapo, Casino, exclusive I don't often get the problem and I hate it when I do. Would love also if they can supply a table card, with more details on the meal. So we ordered the $100 menu, I could hardly remember what was what by the end.

Great Service and Great food except for a couple of dishes. When I'm in Melbourne again ill definitely be returning to try other dishes and some of the same ones. Top dishes were Spanner Crab & Cuttlefish Bun, Soft shell crab bao, Salt & Pepper Chicken Ribs & Red Duck Curry. Not so great dishes were the Wagyu Steak (was a bit bland and tough - strange for wagyu) and the rice noodle rolls again were bland and needed more flavour.
