Sweet Ginger - Fairhaven

Not good is being kind. We got two take out meals. Both went in the trash. Teriyaki beef rolled asaparus was described as thinly sliced beef wrapped around asparagus. It was not thinly sliced. It was tough, burned on the edges and wrapped around CANNED asparagus. It was served on some lettuce, one carrot slice and a piece of broccoli which was probably the only fresh thing in the meal. I spit out the only piece I tried as did my friend. His chicken and peanuts was only slightly more edible. But it was over-spiced, lacked any flavor aside from red hot peppers and it too went in the trash. Even the rice was sticky and the fortune cookies stale. I have no idea how this place stays in business but they'll never get a dime out out me again! Yuk!

The linguica fried brown rice is our favorite along with the chicken chow mein! Whenever we visit the area, this is our go to take out!!

Fairhaven is not a big town. For this kind of genuine cookery to be a 2 minute drive from Hampton Inn was a real find. I notice that in all the reviews of this place, people who asked for genuine Chinese cookery, Americanized Chinese, were the most happy. I ordered my go-to, Mapo Tofu. It's a tofu dish in brown sauce with minced pork. I got it with brown rice instead of traditional boiled. The Mapo Tofu beats the odds of small town Chinese by not being the tiniest bit greasy, and very flavorful. The brown rice was perfect. A gal working the bar and the front of house was very pleasant and efficient. It seemed to be a nice spot for locals to pop in for a nice martini or Chinese specialty cocktail, which is what I witnessed. The lighting was just right. If I locally, I'd certainly be a regular.

Almost perfect. I moved the area in 2015 and have been searching for a decent Chinese restaurant. How did I not find this sooner? I ordered the Mongolian steak, the Japanese house udon noodle, and the Peking noodle. I requested that all three dishes be served extra spicy. The Peking noodle was a huge disappointment very pedestrian not spicy definitely will not order this again. The Mongolian steak was cooked to perfection. It was tender flavorful amazingly good. Again, I did request it to be extra spicy and it was not and that's why it was a little bit of a disappointment. The Japanese house udon noodle was fantastic! It was spicy flavorful and a dish that I could eat every day for the rest of my life. Fantastic!

Sad fried rice had nothing in it but dead sprouts /boneless spare ribs were like beef jerky and shrimp w/lobster sauce /the shrimp were soft and going bad so for 38 was worth about 20 but most of it still have bc it was not edible
