CORT - Wild Ginger Asian Fusion - Poke Bowl

From the pattern of it all, I would have to admit that this restaurant is my favorite place to order from in Cortland and this makes me a little sad. I feel like Wild Ginger doesn’t get enough hype and most people don’t actually LOVE it but whenever I’m craving something, this is the place where I’m going to find it. I wish it was more well liked.

LOCATION - 47 MAIN ST, CORTLAND, NY 13045

Usually, when I get take-out from here it’s because I’m craving sushi or Udon. I always order bento boxes when I’ve been inside to eat but today I really wanted a Poke Bowl.

Seeing as I’m not a huge raw fish fan, I don’t usually want Poke bowls but thankfully, most places also offer shrimp and/or scallops. Wild Ginger is no different but their shrimp bowls also come with White Tuna which I was nervous about. However, I REALLY wanted a poke bowl so I took the leap and made the order hoping raw White Tuna would be okay today.

I ordered my bowl with sushi rice, avocado, edamame, crispy onion, and fresh ponzu sauce. This is a standard combo for me whenever I get a poke bowl. I’m usually pretty adventurous with new foods and want to try a lot of things but when it coms to Poke Bowls this is what I want.

Of course, I mixed everything together and inhaled this bowl as soon as I got home with it. I was really happy about this since I was worried about the White Tuna but it ended up mixing so well. It didn’t taste fishy at all and the texture was great and just melted in my mouth. I didn’t even notice it was there.

I’m so excited this worked out well and it’s so easy to eat and carry around that I can just order it again whenever I’m in the mood for a poke bowl. My fondness for Wild Ginger continues to grow.
