The place had an interesting twist to it where we had the liberty to fashion our own food bowls to our own choice. We got 7 bowls in total, with different flavours. The food was satisfactory but upon sharing with each other we found that the tastes were mostly the same. However, service was quite well and Danish (our server) was a patient and helpful man. The quantity and quality of the food was good enough for the price we paid. Would definitely recommend for a dinner.
Amazing Chinese food and not very expensive either. Nothing about this place looks cheap. The ambiance is great, the service is great. They have small puzzle games on the back of the menu for kids, i liked that. The taste was awesome and they had great choice of dishes. The thing i liked the most is that they have an option to order a second dish in a smaller bowl along with your main dish.
Well due to covid the whole fine dinning experience is ruined as you have to sit outside practically on the sidewalks. So for ambiance there is nothing to talk about. I tried their soup which was quite good. The main course was okies. It wasn’t bad but not finger licking either. So a 6.5 out of 10
Extremely rude service at their anniversary. The most insolent attitude by the manager who refused to offer the regular deluxe combo saying its their anniversary so they only have a limited menu. Quite an anniversary celebration. Also he wasnt properly doning a mask. We were only asking him for the regular service as per what we expect when we come to a certain restaurant. And to top it off he wasnt even polite about the whole thing.
The first of its kind restaurant, many opened up after it to offer the same kinds of bowls but this remains better among them all still.Their crispy beef is delicious and a must try especially with their lemonade. The Dynamite prawns come in a small serving but are amazing nonetheless.Their matcha cake is an acquired taste, not recommended for everyone
The place is almost the best for foodies it has some nice setup somehow place is congested makes it little bit uncomfortable for the newbies food quality is not bad at all the most unpleasant thing is you can’t have a number on time and if it is yours turn yet can’t be called for it which makes it very much cheap somehow it has some beautiful attractions ,as by name service isn’t that much worthy but it’s almost best then other competitors someone had a dream to be eat rice must try it the combo of giniyaki is the most ultimate dish
I’ll be honest, I had heard good things about Ginyaki and despite the ambiance and decor being really great; I honestly really found the food to be lack lustre. Compared to Rice Bowl and the Wok in Lahore, the flavours paled in comparison and lacked depth and complexity. It was all basically one note. The Chicken with cashew nut barely looked or tasted like it and the sweet crispy beef was overpoweringly sweet
Loved the food there, the serving was reasonable for the price, and plenty enough for one person(per serving). The barbeque wings were crunchy, and well covered with sauce, dragon chicken was soft, juicy, and thoroughly cooked. I highly recommend their korean chilli chicken if you prefer spices. Overall the sitting, and ambiance was great, giving it 4/5 stars because of the slow service
Pakistani, Chinese food. Open air sitting. Reasonable price range and Good ambience.
Very nice food. Good quality and quantity. Efficient service. Soups need to upgraded in taste. Value for money
The place was densely packed and over crowded, and the staff forgot about our drinks and sides, which we got half way through our meal, after reminding them 4 times total.Our table had food pieces and stains left from the previous people, inspite of the staff wiping it down infront of us.The staff was not wearing gloves or masks, which made our party a little uncomfortable; would highly advice the management to make sure the staff is properly equipped and trained for this Covid era.The food itself was a good portion and very well made.If not for the service, and the lack of Covid protocol, would have given this place a higher rating.Alternatively, would be great for take aways.
Great food and great ambience. Would totally recommend. Especially to those who crave Chinese food.
It’s by far one of my favourite places to eat. I’d definitely recommend this place as it provides exceptionally delicious food, along with great service while going easy on your wallet. My personal recommendation would be the Butterfly Prawns and Crispy Honey Chicken
Ginyaki was amazing. Good choices, great blend of authentic and fusion eastern dishes. Their quantities are huge and the staff is amazing.Crispy Beef Chili is highly recommended The place is typically packed so make sure you come in early and put yourself on the list to get seated.
Ginyaki has always been my five stars experience....an authentic pan asian/chinese food place ️️️
Best Chinese restaurant with simple and elegant place and menu.It will be an experience you will want to have again.
It was a great experience, the quality of food was good, the quantity was good and the environment was peacful.️
This place is a must place to visit. Come here, you won’t be disappointed
Visited twice time there, and to be honestly they are committed to never disappoint me. Crispy Beef and Chinese are my second love.
Awesome food, crispy beef and dragon chicken are best flavours. Mint Margaret is a must try drink
Best Asian food in whole of Islamabad, and be careful there serving bowl looks small but you cant finish it, its too much quantity
Wonderful dining addition with reasonable charges. Be careful in selecting the meal as some dishes might not be what you anticipated.
Till last week we rated Ginyaki as one of the best places in town to visit on weekends for dinner. But since last week our opinion has drastically changed.First on last weekend we were at counter in Islamabad Ginyaki at 2115 hrs but they didnt allow us to enter on the pretext that closing at 10 and worst part was that it was still 45 minutes with vacant places in restaurant and the behaviour of their staff was abnoxious and terrible. Today again we visited Ginyaki bahria and we were at entrance at 2120 hrs but they said it closed although people were inside ,we ordered takeaway but the thing that irritated was that once at around 1030 came to pick our order at that time people were still inside and the vacant tables that we saw earlier were now occupied (some dear ones were allowed to dine in) .Also the takeaway we took was quite less (price was same) in quantity than we used to get earlier. Growing business doesnt mean that you start cheap things .This was perhaps our last visit to Ginyaki, good food but customer care is terrible
Excellent food and service!ordered crispy beef and their special fish, everything was amazing!!!
The food was great but this should give at least small amount of free appetizers. And it should be more good because it so hot and spicy !!!
The ambience was nice and taste was great. 10/10 would go again.
The best chinese restuarant i have ever went to so far
Super fresh food chinese and thai food only with some coactales sitting plan is good
Big portions, decent price, decent food and each and every dish tasted completely different, unlike almost every other Asian restaurant I have been to in Islamabad.
Food tasted great overall but after paying the bill, we found a dead cockroach in the tray in which we were eating. Disgusting!!Upon informing the manager, instead of realizing, he said it’s not from the kitchen but from the dining hall. I don’t care where it came from, there’s a freaking roach in my food!!!!Then I showed him a live cockroach roaming around on the table next to us. They tried to bribe us with free drinks but we declined. Never going there again.This restaurant should be sealed for their poor hygiene
Well, food here is closest to what I’ve eaten claiming to be Chinese. Believe me, I’ve lived in China for years! The ambience is too cozy! Service is great! Staff is polite! Food is great! I was reminiscing China.
Good food in reasonable price. Recommended
Good place for the people who want to taste Chinese food in the vicinity. Place is just ok as it has only two moderate level halls for 2 people only and more than 2 people. Rates are little high comparatively.
I am happy to be the 1000th reviewer! I hope Ginyaki will give me something for this review. I concur with brother Moids review. Food is excellent, great value for money and good quantity. It is very popular and always busy so it can take time to get seating, esp for a large group, and on weekends. I would suggest to call in advance. Ginyaki should move to a larger place.
You know I have not tasted this high quality food in ages. My personal favorite the halaphinio poppers the cheese in side just melts in your mouth and the crispy beef with rice it is too good I highly recommend these two things and for dessert well every desert is fire.
Great place! quality food, service and sitting arrangements amidst pandemic
Good place if you want to try out something different. Beef with noddles was good as was the mint drink. There can be a substantial wait if it’s busy because the place isn’t that big.
Great food at a great price! Love the chicken as well as the salads. Chain restaurant that doesnt feel like a chain! Love this place!
I have been there with my friends... had a great meal there...soup and rice were awesome ...highly recomended
An amazing place to have your thai or Chinese meal. I completely loved the ambiance and taste and quality of food was so good. Not much expensive as well.
Awesome. For Katachiites, you will get that Ginsoy feel here!
A bit expensive place. However quality of food is better. Good place for those who like Chinese food.
Don’t get me wrong I loved the food !!!Great portions and prices are good too !!!This place has a lot of potential .. why 3 stars cause of very average service, waiters didn’t know who’s order it was and kept taking food around ! And they all need some serious deodorant !!!!!!!! And we were told there was a 20 min waiting and were made to stand outside in summer heat till we actually asked for chairs to be seated while we wait Guys !!! Get your act together ! Good luck !!
Pathetic service, asked for water 3 times didn’t got it until I told them their service is trash. Food overall was good, but I ordered Kung pao which is very spicy even though they told me it was mild. I reordered my food again, and then after waiting long time I got the food. Wouldn’t recommend this place.
Always go for the appetizers and main course. Excellent food
Lov the food so economical every one must try good food here
Yummy food, soup taste have lot of room to imrpove
The food was great, but the service was bad. The staff behaved rudely for no apparent reason and were ignorant mostly.
Super cool place for Chinese dining. Have your friends party with special delicicies
This place is just too good and never disappointed. Keep up the good work. Best in quarantine days too
Every thing is good but their behaviour towards customers is not good. even though they wont provide us Disposal Glass for water. Also they dont have Large drinks. but food taste and quality is amazing.
I have been there last night, Food is very good, and reasonable price. specially seafood dishes. You choose and make your dish from the templates - two mains and one side. Not a lot of variety but people with every taste can have their fill.Decor and seating is simple yet functional and clean.Prices are very good, rather on the cheaper side.Main problem, like others in the vicinity, is finding a parking place.
Food is deliciousServing size is goodThe ambience could be improved. All the noise from the kitchen penetrates into the dinning area.
An amazing place gone pathetic within months. Quality of food has gone great from to worse.
Taste is good but not like before, need improvements. Rest everything is good.
So I finally got to eat here. Contrary to my expectation, however, i didnt like the food. It was too greasy and salty for my taste. The ambiance isnt as great either because the seating is quite crammed. The table service was good, though, and we got our food in quick time. Since there are plenty of restaurants in its neighborhood, parking is a major issue as well.
Sometimes good. But in rush hour compromise on taste. Islamabad branch is better than bahria.
Ingredients are so fresh Ill recommend to try it once
Tooooo spicy... The mains with no chilli sign were relatively sweet where as the ones with one chilli sign were flaming hot... Not sure what happens to the people who eat the mains with two or three chilli signs against them... Must need to call an ambulance! Ambiance was good, service was good.
Everything thing is good ... Cheese cake is out of this world yummiest... Must recommended dessert..
If you know what you want... You end up eating the same thing almost every time. Good ambiance. Service was okay. Boring menu really... Ramzan deal was cheap but pretty dull. A place for people easily impressed.
Nice atmosphere and sitting arrangements, neat and clean with good quality food in a reasonable price. Worth a try
If you love Chinese food this is the best you can have in twin cities of Pakistan. It came to my number one in list for Chinese because they serve you with Chinese style Chinese food not the Desi style Chinese food. You have to select the base of rice or chowmein or the mixture. Then you can select toppings from Chicken, Beef and Seafood variety. You can also select an add on for 99Rs(chicken), 150Rs(beef). Quantity served is huge!
Food is fine . Have had better chinese .
Great little eatery with a refreshing ambiance. Tom Yum soup, prawns and wings were great. They really messed up the orange juice but gave a replacement Kiwi drink, which was delicious. A must-try.
It was really amazing experience.. Want to visit that place again and again. The food was delicious and environment was amazing.
Best! Had three seasoned chicken combo bowl and it was so good
Food is fine but customer service is pathetic, I parked my car right in front but their staff refused to take my order from car
Food:Thai Basil Prawns and Mocha Cheesecake are from heaven. The noodles can be improved and not a fan of their rice either.Ambiance:Small place with cluttering sound of spoons and forks. Just good to eat. You cannot think of arranging a party and no chance of a meeting at all.Staff:Very courteous staff. Unlike restaurants where you have to wait for at least 3 times for someone to actually look at your table before everyone else.Rates:The prices of bowls are so reasonable. Just don’t order drinks. God knows why all places in Islamabad have to serve fresh juices for 350+ I just find that very annoying.Location:Google Map will guide you.Suggestion:Try not going at peak lunch time, it will take a lot of time for you to get seated.
Ginyaki is getting crowded every single day. Its very difficult to get a seat without reservation even on weekdays and its too much noisy and seriously you have to shout to give order. Food is good but not what I expected. Szechuan Chicken is the hit item as always. Crispy Honey Chicken and Chicken Chilly dry is also very nice. Sesame Chicken Poppers are uncooked but replaced easily. Minus two stars for not accepting debit card for payment. Its a hassle to get cash from ATM bcs most of the time people dont have that much money in pocket. Kindly resolve this matter as soon as possible.
Stale taste, boiled rice and no gravy taste. (Not recommended to a lahori)
A Chinese restaurant with customizable options like The Wok in Lahore. Loved its Chowmin with Cashewnut Chicken with a side dish of Thai Prawns
Best place to enjoy chinese in islamabad
Chinese food lovers paradise it is very spacious sitting area inside and outdoor. Friendly and efficient staff. Food tasted great prices are nominal too!
One of the best Chinese restaurant in Islamabad. The ambiance is good and the food presentation and taste is very good. Staff is very cooperative. Fully recommended. But you have to wait for sometime to get seated. I give 5/5 stars to this.
Dynamite prawns were amazing and chicken bowls were good! Dessert was ok
The place has a very nice ambiance and the price is very decent too.
Ive been a fan of ginyaki ever since it launched, but lately it seems their service and quality has gone down. I hope you guys improve again
Ive been here several times now and Ive never been disappointed. The food has always been top quality and taste wise been . Service could be improved a bit but its still better than the competition.
Long wait for above average food. Plentiful portion size and moderately priced for the area. 5 people ate for 3800 rupees. Cashew chicken, dragon chicken, and beef chili was delightful.
This is one of those places that gives you positive vibes , it is always full , rushy , people enjoying with their families , ambience is bright.However their waiters i think are bit non responsive at least the one we interacted with .Although they know about the menu and can guide you if need to .Food quality is good and serving(Bowl) is more then enough for one person.Would recommend .
Amazing food. Very affordable. Quick and fulfilling serving !
So the food is good. Prices very reasonable and serving is generous for one person. I had little issues with ambiance. Furniture is too closely placed making it look like a cafe and not a dine in restaurant. It needs to be modified. Staff is good but needs to be well versed with menu.
The food was good. Prices are also reasonable. Only bad thing about them is that they dont accept credit card payments.
I like this place I found it very reasonable price as compared to other places serving that kind of tasty food. I liked the ambience and services was great they only accept cash as a payment.I found this place busy at 5 30 Pm when most of the restaurants are not busy I think they are doing good business.
Good spot to grab a quick bite of asian cuisines... every hour here is rush hour here.... Food is tasty though lacks variety...
Amazing place to have Chinese food. Such a nice environment. Everything is so good.
