Red Ginger - Bettendorf

While visiting Bettendorf to see family, we decided to check out one of the top sushi spots in the Quad Cities. Our overall experience was great! The restaurant was bustling when we arrived, which is usually a good sign. However, it did take some time for us to be seated and take our order. The servers were very friendly and apologetic for the wait. We tried the Butterfly Roll, French Kiss Roll, and Red Ginger Roll, along with some shumai miso soup. The shumai was okay, but a bit bland and soggy. The Red Ginger Roll, which we expected to be the best, was a bit simple with just shrimp tempura. We were pleasantly surprised by the flavors of the French Kiss Roll instead. Overall, we enjoyed our meal, although our experiences at sushi restaurants in Chicago may have raised our expectations a bit too high.

The food was okay. Got the Red Ginger Roll and the King Crab Roll, both were falling apart as I picked them up. Been to a lot of sushi places and this has to be one of the worse quality sushi places. The prices were too high for the quality of the sushi. It is a good atmosphere inside the restaurant though.

This small restaurant has limited seating but offers a wide variety of sushi which was delicious. However, we also tried the chicken yaki soba and found it to be dry, too peppery, and lacking in good quality vegetables. Overall, the experience was average and we may consider dining there again in the future.

Let me start by saying red ginger didn't used to be 5 stars for me, but lately every time I go everything tastes even better than the last! They have delicious special rolls and their bento box lunch deal is my favorite lunch deal on the planet (fried rice, soup, salad, gyoza or spring rolls, sushi and an entree like teriyaki chicken). They're a great local place!

Great sushi, Some of the best I've ever had actually!!! The staff is wonderful and very friendly!!!
