Fill out a menu at your table and they'll bring the food to you. The service was fast and the sushi wasdelicious. I would eat here again.

Ordered to go. The chicken was hard/dry covered in sauce with 3 pieces of broccoli ???? that I enjoyed the most. The spring rolls had no spring. The fried rice was refried, hard, and old. Can’t eat it. If I wasn’t tired, I wouldreturn this order. Unfortunately, purchased a large/ dinner size.

I ordered the salmon teriyaki. Was one of the worst salmon dishes I've ever had. Was only about 3oz of very thin sliced salmon and it was drier than dry, more crispy. You can see how dry it was in the picture. Never had anything likeit. I was looking forward to a nice piece of salmon, instead all I got was rice and vegetables because that's all I was willingto eat. Not to mention the fake, generic coke product they sold me. Beyond disappointing! I was excited to go back there with myboyfriend, but never, ever again. Total waste of money!

It’s good that they also have menus for children and Hibachis selection for mom, as my kids and my mother are not really sushi eaters. I think the price for the “all you can eat” lunch is prettyreasonable. Our server was also attentive that makes the experience worth the price.

Franchises generally follow the same menu and have similar quality, right? Wrong. Both menu and quality of food were very different.My husband tried the hibachi and the teriyaki. They were out of the beef for teriyaki today, which was fine. And the hibachi was decent aside from the yum yum sauce being more of a pineapple dipping sauce then the traditional yum yum sauce. He said the crab rangoon he ordered had a strange aftertaste so he couldnt finish the order of only 2 pieces.I tried a number of sushi rolls, the fried dumplings, and tempura. Be warned that the shrimp tempura is not just shrimp, but also tempura vegetables which would have been good to know seeing as we ordered the vegetables too. The rice in the sushi rolls was chewy, like day old white rice from a Chinese takeout place and not like typical sushi rice. And the individual pieces of eel also had a weird taste to them, almost like canned tuna which is very odd.I do not like making posts that talk so poorly about locations but if you compare this Ginza to the other? It fails on every level. At the very least, I can say that the service was good. Very attentive. I just wish the food itself was worth the price.
