rfmcdonaldI couldn't help but notice the construction last year that built Ginger (546 Church Street), since this new Vietnamese restaurant took over the location of the famous but now-closed Second Cup at Church and Wellesley, including "The Steps" and all. It wasn't until this evening, hungry and flush with cash, that I actually managed to eat there.
Although Ginger has a large sit-down area, it seems to be geared towards take-out. When I sat down at five o'clock to enjoy my pho oxtail and halved beef balls, I was the only one. The $6.95 price tag was pricy, typical of the items on their menu, but I can't complain about the size of the serving, or of the quality of the fresh pho full of meat and mint. It's just embarrassing that it took me so long for me to figure out that my chopstick skills still aren't good enough to let me strain noodles out of soup without significant splashage.
