Wild Ginger, Great Neck Plaza

Amid the shimmering Eastern-inspired décor of Wild Ginger’s warm-toned dining room, Japanese sushi mingles with Thai, Chinese, and Vietnamese dishes. Seasoned sushi chefs carve fresh seafood into specialty Spider rolls with soft shell crab and Red Dragon rolls with spicy tuna, as grills sizzle with seafood, meat, and poultry, and stovetops simmer with noodles. The prixed-fixed menu rolls out a four-course dinner of soup, salad, an entree, and dessert, which diners can toast to with an extensive menu of wines and sake. Brick walls and a towering palm tree ensconce diners at tabletops and booths in the dining room, and bar seating hosts rounds of linear musical chairs.
