Default Lunch at The Green Ginger

Just a quick note.

I had lunch today at the Green Ginger at exit 20 next to Shaw's in Tilton and it was pretty good for the price.

The Green Ginger does not have a buffet, but the lunch menu items are varied. I had the Mongolian Beef entre. This came with a choice of soups, a choice of appetizer and the main course. All was very good as was the service.

The total was $13.00 including a drink, tip and tax

Seems a bit steep for lunch in a Chinese restaurant.

I like Green Ginger and the price does not seem too bad:

Figure
$8 for the meal
$1.50 for the drink
$3.50 for the tax and tip

China garden down the road in Belmont is very good as well.

Default Incomplete peanut warnings on the menu

The food is good and the prices seem OK, but I will probably not go again. I have a peanut allergy and was served peanut dishes twice after telling my water of my restrictions. The second time, the waiter still insisted the dish had no peanuts after I started getting ill, then the chef finally confirmed what was rapidly becoming obvious to me. They apologized, but didn't take anything off the bill for the meal I eventually lost.

Thanks for posting this. I have a cousin coming up who has a terrible peanut allergy & the last thing she needs is to go into a place where the staff could care less if they slip peanut oil into the food. Sorry for your experience

That could be deadly for someone with serious allergies. I'd hate to see that happen to anyone and would also hate to see this restaurant close down. I have to wonder (and this isn't me being un-PC or whatever) but if there's a communication breakdown/language barrier issue here...

I don't know about a language issue, but in this day & age there really is no excuse for this. Like you said: they could kill someone. The waiter sure seemed like he understood just what was being communicated. The more I think about this the more sure I am that I will never set foot inside this place.

Our Grandson has a severe peanut allergy and every restaurant we've been to, including big chains has handled that situation very well. I'm very surprised they were so callous about something so serious. I guess they're the reason we carry an epi pen.

There are a lot of places that cook in peanut oil and there are a lot of waiters that have no idea what oil is used. Many places will note it on the menu and others that don't. Waiters /waitresses often only look at ingredients and don't think about the oil. We had a death in RI because of that.

I think the safe thing for anyone with an allergy is to ask the waitstaff to ask the cook and maybe hint that will reduce the chance of a lawsuit.

Lakegeezer should NOT have been expected to pay the bill for that meal.
