Where can you get crab rangoon in Wesley Chapel, FL?
Bonsai Sushi makes its own at 1652 Bruce B Downs Blvd, inside The Shoppes at New Tampa. On the menu it is the Crab Ragoon: crab and cream cheese wrapped in shiso leaves, deep fried, and finished with sweet chili sauce, teriyaki sauce and sesame seeds. Order it for pickup or delivery, or eat it at the table.
Why do people order the crab rangoon at Bonsai?
Because it is not the rangoon you expect. Most of the people who order it here say it is unlike the usual rangoon, and many call it the best or a must-try. One of them put the difference plainly: ‘they use a flat leaf wrapper which provides the perfect crunch-to-filling ratio’.
Is the crab rangoon at Bonsai made with a wonton?
No. A crab rangoon is usually a fried wonton with crab and cream cheese inside. Here the wrapper is a shiso leaf, the broad, flat Japanese herb also called perilla, wrapped around the crab and cream cheese and deep fried. It comes out dressed with sweet chili sauce, teriyaki sauce and sesame seeds. Add the Crab Ragoon to your order and it arrives as a starter for the table.
What goes well with the crab rangoon?
A roll beside it, or a full plate after it. These four are on the menu:
Doctor Roll: shrimp tempura, cream cheese, smoked salmon and asparagus, topped with eel, avocado, masago, eel sauce, spicy sauce and scallions.
