I’ve been watching too much food TV and too many youtube videos with people eating sushi because I’ve been craving it so often lately. I decided to splurge today too and get a super fancy roll because I deserve it.

LOCATION: 47 MAIN ST., CORTLAND, NY, 13045

Enter the special Yummy Yummy Roll at Wild Ginger Asian Fusion. I’ve seen this special on their specials board every time I walk inside to pick up my order but I finally noticed it online when I was ordering. The Yummy Yummy roll is lobster tempura, avocado, crab wrapped in soy paper topped with fresh mango. No surprise that it’s an $18 roll so this was a very special day and the only thing I ordered. Usually, I add shrimp nigiri to my orders to bump up the price and make it worth ordering online for me and for the restaurant but this was all on its own.

I was a little worried about the quantity I would be getting and assumed the lobster was the big price and it would only get 6 or so pieces. I was happily surprised.

I actually ate half of my order then took the photo so there’d be a cross-section to see what’s inside so this was a full 12pc order. 12pcs is definitely enough for me especially since these pieces were actually very very large (more of a two-bite situation for me per piece.)

Overall, it tasted great. I was nervous about the mango being too overpowering but they were actually great and it was a well-balanced piece. I will say, that while it was a solid quantity of sushi and it tasted good, I wouldn’t get it again. The flavors were good but not $18 worth, in my opinion. Lobster doesn’t add too much to the flavor and isn’t worth the cost in this instance. The mango added more to it than the lobster did and I just wouldn’t ever crave this flavor. Worth the try once, just to end the wondering if it’s good.
