Delicious, fresh and flavorful. We ordered the beef pho and loved the rich and complex broth. The fried rice with char sui had just the right seasoning and splash of curry. We thought if the pork was cut smaller it may have a preferable texture...Read More

UPDATE: Sadly, the quality of the food decreased dramatically in the past few months, so I feel compelled to lower my rating from 5 to 3. We ordered 2 servings of vegetable yakisoba and both were lukewarm and dry, as if they had been cooked...Read More

Really great food in a fun, casual setting. Been here twice and enjoyed everything we've tried: Island Fried Rice, Hue Soup, Kimchi Mandu Soup, Jajangmyeon, Japchae, and Yakisoba.The hand-drawn chalk menus at each table are so cool 😎

Great hidden gem. We're big on Asian cuisine and can vouch on the quality here. The Jajangmyeon is terrific and the portion sizes were huge for a very reasonable price. Most mains are 15 dollars or so which accompanied with great service and a clean...Read More

Their portions are generous and their staff is incredibly kind! Out of all their (delicious) offerings, my favorite by far is the pho. That said, you certainly can't go wrong with their teriyaki chicken either; the meat is so much better than what you'd normally...Read More

The food is cheaper than most other Asian cuisines around the area, but the food is good! We usually come here rather than some other restaurants because of the price. Their decor is kind of bulky, and the chairs are.. strange. But the food is...Read More

Uniquely among teriyaki joints in Bellingham, Ginger Boat attempts to move toward gourmet and fancy, serving their entrees on very large plates which emphasizes the portion and keeping their restaurant dimly lit. However, the portion is slightly smaller than you'll get at any other teriyaki...Read More
