Having been customers at Ginger and Fork for a couple of years now, I can confidently say it’s a standout in the world of Cantonese cuisine! Owners Mary and Mark, along with their amazing daughter Tammy, go above and beyond to make every guest feel welcomed and appreciated. Their commitment to exceptional service truly enhances the dining experience. I’ve celebrated my birthday here twice, and both times have been memorable! The food is bursting with flavor and authenticity—a refreshing change from typical fast-food Cantonese dishes. Each meal is prepared with fresh ingredients and showcases true Chinese culinary traditions. I’m always blown away by the quality and taste! If you’re looking for fine dining that honors Cantonese cuisine, I highly recommend Ginger and Fork. Thank you, Mary, Mark, and Tammy, for continually providing such a delightful experience. I love all that you do!
