Wild Ginger

We did take out to take to the Elmira Drive-​In. They made our food fairly quickly, had to wait about 25 mins but when we arrived they were packed! So they did a good all things considered. Great size portions! My bf got 3 rolls and I decided on the Drunken Noodle which was good, but not the best I’ve had. I eat Thai fairly regularly and thought that the heat factor on this noodle dish was lacking. Drunken noodles should have a pronounced spicy flavor and it wasn’t really going anywhere for me on the Scoville scale. I did enjoy the dish nonetheless but really wish it was spicy. The portion was huge. Really 2 – 3 meals worth! So even after I finished what I wanted my bf cleaned up! He said he sushi was very good and fresh. I would recommend eating here to those looking for some Asian flavors.

Spur of the moment stop for chinese takeout. Both mine and sons portions were significant in size. My son did General Tsao and I had sweet and sour chicken. Both were good. Only thing I found curious is they don’t do sweet and sour pork or pork fried rice. So because of this we had beef fried rice for 1^st time. I enjoyed it but it really was rice and about 8pieces of beef, no other veggies in it. Overall this is a recommended eatery.

I was there on a weeknight with only a few customers. The waitress forgot our salad and ignored us throughout the meal. The flavors were muted, and the California rolls were soggy and inedible. I had Thai shrimp and the shrimp was overcooked and very hard. The portions are small and the cost is high. Even though I had eaten, I left there feeling more hungry than when I went in.

Fantastic food! The service was exceptional! I had a fairly large order for about 10 people that I called ahead on. They were very patient with me on the phone. When I got there everything was clearly marked, I had extra sauces and silverware. They even carried all 4 bags to my car for me! Will have my business for the foreseeable future!

Great menu selection! The sushi was very fresh. Everything was, in fact. Huge portions, even at lunch. Nice ambiance and prompt service. My 9 year old said, «the rice is sticky and perfect»!
Great for families or dates!

Me and my colleagues were in Corning for work for a couple of weeks. We’ve tried a good number of restaurants and the food were ok. We were not expecting much since we’ve all from big cities. Asian food was pretty bad in one of the Chinese takeout places in Corning as it’s been heavily modified for small town taste and they burnt the food. Didn’t expect much here either but surprise surprise.
The food even though there were different Asian foods like Thai, Japanese, Chinese, etc, they all taste pretty good like you would expect in a big city Asian restaurant. The taste were quite authentic with maybe the spiciness dialed down a notch. Maybe not be top notch in a big city but I have to say it’s definitely pretty good for a small town since the Mexican and Italian restaurants were below par compare to their big city brethren.
Also have to note that the waitresses were friendly and had patience. Sure made us laugh a bit. Appreciated after a long day.
P. S. This place has many different Asian food but it is not actually fusion.

Coming from an area with much better Thai and fusion options, I think this place is adequate but only when other options are limited. I can only speak to the dishes my husband and I ordered — chicken with broccoli and masaman curry. For starters, you know there’s a problem when the Thai dishes are served with white, not jasmine, rice. The chicken in it was clearly the variety put in their Chinese dishes (thin, low quality). Can hit the spot in a real pinch but not authentic. Husband’s beef and broccoli was typical Chinese fare. Will likely return in a pinch for convenient sushi and Thai, but not my preference.

We went to Corning to celebrate my daughters 20^th birthday and her favorite food is sushi, so I hopped on Unilocal and found Wild Ginger had good reviews. I made a reservation for 5 and a highchair for 1830 with a polite, but difficult to understand Asian woman. I thought I explained it was a celebration for us, but either she didn’t understand or they don’t do anything to celebrate birthdays.
We arrived at 1815 and they had a table set for us. Well, it was a two top table pushed against the four top booth… A really weird set up when they had room for a 6 top table in the middle of the restaurant.
We ordered Coke product soft drinks first and then they came back for the food order. My husband ordered beef negimaki, the birthday girl ordered salmon teriyaki and a TNT roll, my other daughter ordered a chicken teriyaki bento box, my oldest son ordered a salmon teriyaki bento box and sushi that was wrapped in shaved cucumber and I got Singapore Mei Fun.
Three meals came with a salad, which had an excellent ginger dressing on it, and the miso soup was the best my son says he’s ever had. The sushi was beautifully plated and delicious. (I don’t eat sushi, but the kids raved about it). The bento boxes were gorgeous, and every bit consumed. My husband hates egg rolls, but couldn’t steal enough bites from the spring rolls in the bento boxes. My Singapore Mei Fun was excellent, with enough spice to make my nose run and enough chicken and shrimp to be filling.
Why am I only giving this four stars you might ask? Sounds like the food was great… Right? Well, it was offensively quiet. The kind of quiet that permeates the room when your mother accidentally calls your husband by your old boyfriends name at Christmas dinner. My youngest child is just shy of 2 years old and he was having a rough time waking up after the car ride. We had to leave with him because he was the only noise in the restaurant and we didn’t want to ruin everyone’s meal. We took turns going outside. And there was an older Asian man who stood next to the kitchen like some sort of bouncer, staring down customers. He never moved and I have no idea what was so important in that kitchen that needed to be guarded. The atmosphere was just weird.
And let’s talk about the celebration dinner… Nothing was done for my daughter by staff. No dessert, no offering of verbal pleasantries, nothing. There was no fortune cookie passed out!

I like the bento boxes and the soup. But it was pretty weird eating lunch because it was almost TOO QUIET. The food was good though. The staff were pretty friendly. I recommend this if you like Asian but you can’t find a place that serves it (though there is one). If you like Thai too, this restaurant serves it. I like the Udon soup. I recommend this restaurant to you.

Not bad, but a lot of potential to get better. I’m a little skeptical of Asian fusion restaurants, but there weren’t a lot of other options my family was interested in, so we picked this place on a Saturday afternoon.
Overall, food was good but not amazing. The ambience was too quiet — no background music and not enough customers to create a steady hum of conversation. It was also a bit on the cold side — my sister and I never took our coats off and I noticed the folks at the table next to us didn’t, either.
I ordered the Pad Thai, which was delicious. They could have given me some more veggies, but it was surprisingly tasty. My sister’s bento box was just okay, and same goes for other entrees ordered — chicken & broccoli w/​rice and a spicy Thai something-​or-​other that had peppers and shrimp.

I love sushi. I could live off of sushi for the rest of my life. So when I heard that there was sushi at this new Asian fusion restaurant in town, of course I got excited and had to try it! I honestly had low expectations because all the other times that I’ve had sushi in Corning, the fish had never been fresh. Granted, I am used to eating sushi from some of the most amazing Japanese restaurants in Philly and I can imagine how difficult it must be to transport fresh fish to central New York. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the sushi from Wild Ginger tasted fresh and was not fishy at all.
I called-​in to order the Salmon Lover roll for pick up. My order was ready within no longer than 10 minutes. I have no complaints about the service that I experienced.
Looking at the menu online, there was a fairly large array of food items to choose from, varying from Chinese to Thai to Japanese dishes. A lot of these were reasonably priced, however, the sushi here is slightly overpriced. My Salmon Lover roll was roughly $ 13. Although it was tasty, it was a bit underwhelming for the price. The Salmon Lover roll has spicy salmon inside, topped with salmon on the outside – very simple. Back in Philly, I could get bigger, more complex rolls with more ingredients for the same price.
Regardless, I would order sushi from here again if I ever need to satisfy another sushi craving. I would like to return at some point to try the other food items on the menu and have a dine-​in experience.

I eat here at least once a week. Great sushi. Great red curry. Food is always excellent and I have always had polite service. I would recommend it to friends, family, and strangers alike.

I went yesterday and finally tried something new. I had the Drunken Noodles which just helps reaffirm this place is great! My only complaint for being the first time actually eating in was it was SOOO QUIET. They had no music playing and you could hear a pin drop I felt like I was in school again at the library!!! This is my favorite place in Corning as of now.

OMG this seriously did not just happen!!!
My mother-​in-​law, my wife, my baby, and I went to Wild Ginger on Market Street. We were ignored the entire time as we asked for more water (my wife couldn’t eat because of recent tooth extraction), and we were ignored while the server ate their dinner. We had to approach them for our check, and it was wrong. When we explained the check it was fixed but very rudely. We left a small tip as the service was horrible, and the food was a bit highly priced for the size. When we left we were getting into our vehicle and the server ran out after us and demanded a larger tip. We explained that the food was good, but service was not. We were told that if we didn’t tip more we were not welcomed back ever. We were stunned. After we were outside, more of the staff came out and yelled at us for my baby dropping some rice on the floor and it being «filthy». They demanded a bigger tip again. I explained the situation and that you cannot make people leave you a certain amount unless you include gratuity. We were told again that we are not welcomed back unless we left a bigger tip.
I have never been so offended by a Resturant. I do not recommend Wild Ginger.

Food was ordered spicy but was sweet instead. Overall okay but left a lot to be desired.

Food is delicious and fresh. Service is lacking — no idea on whether you should seat yourself or not. We were dining around 6 pm and while the place was just starting to fill up, some music would have been nice… otherwise we felt like we had to whisper.

I just finished up dinner here with my dad and we both had the same reaction to Wild Ginger. It was okay.
At 6:30 on a Saturday the restaurant was abandoned, save one family. It was oddly quiet (the other family was whispering so as not to disrupt this. Kind of made me feel like I was back at my university’s library). We were immediately greeted and pointed to a booth to sit in.
The menu was pretty large. It felt a little overwhelming. Lots of variety though which was nice. My dad ordered hibachi scallops and chicken and I had chicken pad Thai. It took about fifteen minutes to get our food. The ingredients seemed like they were high quality (veggies weren’t anemic and meat wasn’t stringy/​oddly chewy or tough). We both thought our dishes were alright but we’d both had better.
The service wasn’t particularly friendly (they tended towards cold) but they were pretty attentive. I’d definitely give them another shot next time I’m in town but this experience was solidly average.

New favorite destination! Good food, good service, good ambiance — nothing negative to say about this place, will definitely be back.
I loved the bento-​style black lacquer-​look serving trays — there were separate compartments for spring rolls, dipping sauce, rice, main dish. I didn’t see them on my next visit — maybe just for certain meals? The soup and beverages were good too!
I was glad we arrived early, as the place filled up quickly after opening, but they did a great job of serving everyone and people all seemed quite happy

Finally — a real Asian fusion restaurant in Corning! I’m torn between wanting to keep the secret to myself & wanting to make sure they have enough business to stay open.
We have tried lunch & dinner, rice & noodles, Thai, tempura, & sushi. Everything was great, & service was top notch! Anybody who thinks there is a language problem needs to get out more.

After enjoying a great dinner here, I’m kicking my review up a star.
I tried the steak and shrimp hibachi dinner, was great.
I also tried bites of the massaman curry and spicy white tuna roll, all were really tasty.
The service here is excellent. They are very family friendly, great kids menu, high chairs, booster seats and infant changing table in the restroom.
