About Me

Welcome to Ginger and Wasabi! 

I am "Ginger" and my sushi buddy (my boyfriend) is "Wasabi".  I just thought that would be a fun way to blog about sushi. I will reference Wasabi a lot. 

We tried sushi for the first time about 5 years ago. We loved it! We have learned a lot about sushi terms, what we like, things to try and tips on making it ourself over the years. I hope you will enjoy my blog as I share all our sushi experiences. 

Here are some things you should know about us. 

1. If I do not know what to order at a new restaurant or Wasabi is getting Hangry, I think a safe bet is something with either cream cheese or sauce. We will like the works more often than the simple rolls. So if you are trying sushi, I would recommend rolls with more flavor (sauces), cooked, rolls with cream cheese or avocado (assuming you like those), and/ or rice on the outside.

2. I refer to the ends of sushi rolls at the "Butts". Wasabi eats those pieces. They typically are bigger pieces and if it has shrimp in it, the shrimp tail is still connected. 

3. I am really big on customer service and experience. When I am paying to eat at a restaurant service matters. I will see me write about how that impacts me wanting to go back to a restaurant. And experience, I hate being cold in restaurants so I will note that on reviews sometimes too. As well as comfort in the booths or tables.. etc. 

4. I am still learning to use chopsticks. My fingers are not coordinated enough to work chopsticks. So I carry a chopstick helper in my purse. Haha 

5. I think sushi needs to be eaten in one bite so rolls that are massive, I will not enjoy as much. I want to be able to taste everything in the roll at once. Plus big rolls that require you to take two bites of are messy to eat. 

6. Some of our favorite items you will see me review a lot and try everywhere. Our favorite must trys at restaurants are the Ginger dressing house salads, Unagi (eel), Volcano (California roll with scallops and sauce), and Towers. 

7. We almost always order Ginger dressing salads and/ or Edamame to start. I will talk about that too. I really like Edamame!

8.  We are located in the DFW area so most of my reviews will come from that area, however, we have eaten sushi all over Texas, in New York, at Disney World and even in Canada. I do not always review restaurants that we did not go to together. So I might tell you one of us has been there but will not write a big review. 

9. I like when the sushi comes out at once or very close together. If I have a favorite roll, I want to save those pieces for last. And I like to compare and ask Wasabi which are is favorites and decide if I would order a  roll again. If we get a roll before the others, I will try a piece but then I want to wait. It drives Wasabi crazy when he is hangry but he likes them at once too. Plus he gets half the roll so I do not care when he eats his pieces. 

10. I am really into Green Tea ice cream right now. So we will try that some places. I also love a Green Tea mint. Bonus points on reviews when I can finish my sushi with a Green Tea mint. 


We like to try sushi wherever we travel to. Please feel free to share any places we should try in Texas and wherever you are at.
