Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

As we can only comment on 2 main courses, both excellent. For her, Phad Si Yu, judged to be the best ever had. For him, Beef Rendang, a generous serve of a very flavoursome dish. Great attentive staff and prompt service. Couldn’t complain about anything!

This food was as good as I have had anywhere in the world. Slightly different to Thailand but just a twist on Aussie Thai. Overall though delicious and we didn't leave a morsel I would recommend to anyone travelling to Mt Gambier of all places...to find this.More

Not very authentic Thai food in our opinion. The starters we OK, we had satay and fish cakes. The main course dishes were very disappointing. The red beef curry tasted like heated up sauce with pre cooked cubes of beef, the beef did not taste...like it had been infused with any flavours. The Phad Thai had five lovely prawns, however the noodles and bean sprouts were very stodgy, the flavour wasn’t too bad, but it was served with lemon instead of lime. I asked for some limes but they said that they didn’t have any in the kitchen… lime is a key basic ingredient in Thai cooking! The restaurant itself was nice and the staff were pleasant.More

This is a very popular restuarant in Mount Gambier - so arrive early to secure a table (or book ahead) to avoid disappointment. I had the Tom Yam prawn soup and the chef special Phad Char seafood. The meals are large, really flavoursome and good...value. Highly recommend this Thai restaurant.More

Wanted an easy meal out after an afternoon shopping and appointments in Mount Gambier. Was pleasantly surprised. Excellent service and the Thai food was as good as you'd expect in a capital city. Wine list was also very reasonable. We'll be back!

The food here was spectacular. The place was packed in a Tuesday evening and I can see why. The staff were super friendly and the service was very quick despite being so busy. If you’re stopping by mount gambier I’d highly recommend this place.

I'm not particularly fond of fish curry but tried a crispy barramundi with a Penang curry sauce and it was delicious. The Beef Massaman curry was cleverly presented although not quite as spicy as I like. The staff were pleasant and helpful and overall, we...were very impressed with the quality of the food and the experience.More

Quite often regional areas tend to lack in quality authentic cuisine. However this is not the case at Wild Ginger. Great Thai food done right, authentic and big sized meals guaranteed to both fill you up and sate your quest for flavour. Restaurant shows a...cheerful, fun filled atmosphere and it is evident that the place is popular with locals. The wine list, though small, showcases the region and the choice of some good Thai beer is sensational. Overall a pleasant evening is always on offer here.More

Fantastic Flavours. We visited Wild Ginger on Friday night the ambience was fantastic on arrival, we had booked a table and our name was clearly visible as we passed the table.The restaurant was full maybe 60 people. We ordered a Beef Hot Pot and a...Green Chicken Curry. Dishes were out in 15 minutes both were full of flavour and the meat very tender, the beef pieces were large and fell apart as they were so tender. Great Food .More

We were sightseeing in the area and needed a meal before we headed back to Robe. Wild Ginger gave us delicious Thai food with a local twist. Excellent service throughout even though it was busy.
