It’s time for a ‘Treat Yo Self’ lunch of sushi. I’ve been craving it so much but haven’t had the opportunity get get some, but today is the day! I’m in the midst of looking for a new apartment and moving and finding a storage unit as backup and stress levels are high. Who knew that covid would be the time that everyone is moving to a new apartment. I sure didn’t. All things considered, I felt I needed to give myself something to look forward to and treat myself to sushi at Wild Ginger Asian Fusion once again.
LOCATION: 45 MAIN ST., CORTLAND, NY 13045
This time around I decided to mix it up a little and try the Tiffany Roll. This is a specialty fried roll with crab, avocado, cucumber, and a special sauce they drizzle on top. I, of course, added my Ebi sushi, and decided to try a Hokkigai sushi order today which is just surf clam. Last time I tried the scallop sushi and while it was fresh and a good texture, it wasn’t very flavorful so I thought I’d keep trying new ones out until I found something I love as much as ebi.
This was a solid order of food. As I mentioned last time, an order like this comes to around $20 which is a little pricey to me for sushi but seeing as I’m in the middle of farmland Cortland, it’s worth it every once in a while. I started off with the Tiffany roll and this thing was AMAZING. It was still warm from being fried and it was crisp but still light and fresh from all the ingredients inside. It had a little bit of a kick from the sauce which I enjoyed thoroughly and it might’ve been my favorite bite this time around.
Per usual, the Ebi doesn’t let me down and I tend to order it just for comfort. Nothing wrong with a simple classic. The surf clam was similar to the scallop last time. It tasted fresh and clean but didn’t provide much flavor and had that overly chewy texture that I wasn’t super fond of. I don’t like having to fight my food and with the surf clam, it can be tough to cut through. Not bad, but I wouldn’t order again. Then again, I’m pretty sure I’ve had surf clam before and I couldn’t remember how I felt about it and ordered it again so apparently, there are some things I don’t learn. I’m already looking forward to the next time I get to treat myself to this lunch and the Tiffany roll is definitely up for re-order.
