Though Wild Ginger isn't the foodie destination it was in it's heyday, it's still very enjoyable, especially with young kids. If you don't have a thriving southeast Asian community in your hometown, you'll especially enjoy the opportunity to try dishes like green papaya salad and black pepper scallops. The Saturday morning Dim sum is also terrific.

There are a wide variety of Satay (which I like to sell as "meat Popsicles to my kids), and the kids menu is very reasonably priced, with all the dishes priced below $5. My kids devour the fresh panko crusted chicken nuggets, and I'm a fan of the simple egg noodles as well.
