I gave a small rating for the kids because neither one of my kids tried it...but my husband and I did! We are lovers of Japanese food restaurants and I've always wanted to try a recipe for the ginger dressing and I tried this one because of the previous reviews. First I want to say it was wonderful and my husband loves it as do I! I had always wanted to try to find a ginger dressing. This was the first one. It came out not as thick as the usual and I don't know why but it still tasted really great. I used ground ginger (since I already had it) instead of fresh ginger. I used the same amount of the ground as it said for the fresh. It wasn't as thick as the restaurant style. I DID use olive oil and followed the recipe otherwise. But it was more runny. Will try using fresh ginger the next time. Maybe that will increase the thickness. No matter what though...it was extremely delicious!

I made this dressing and also added rice vinegar to it but the Japanese place I go to their dressing is a little thicker than what this is. I think I will try the sesame oil next time instead of the olive oil. It is very good!

I thought this dressing was AWFUL. I couldn't even doctor it up and I really tried. Hated to waste good olive oil like that. Make sure you like this type of dressing before you make it. I didn't know and wanted to try something new. BAD EXPERIENCE

this was DELICIOUS!!! i made it so fast and my husband loved it too! I didn't have the olive oil so I omitted that from the recipe and it was still delicious but without the extra fat!

Delicious dressing! I agree with other reviewer that a tablespoon of rice vinegar adds to the flavor.

Wonderful! I've tried other dressings, but this is the closest to my favorite Japanese Restaurant. Thank you!

My boyfriend loves it! He says it tastes better than you can get in a restaurant, the only problem is it is now the only dressing he will eat!

This is FANTASTIC, and tastes like the japanese steakhouses! I added 1 T. of rice wine vinegar to cut the oil taste, and 1 t. of white pepper as a substitute for the black pepper, put all but the oil in a blender to puree, then added the sesame oil for the olive oil and added it in a steady steam to get the same consistency of the original from the restraunts...my friends and family are raving about it and say it is better than chocolate!!!! It is a MUST try !!! Sesame oil has a better flavor and seems lighter in taste than olive oil..
