Editorial Review for Ginza Japanese Cuisine and Sushi Bar – by Virginia Rainey
The Scene
The interior is basic and spare, decorated with sleek, modern light fixtures and an L-shaped sushi bar. There are plenty of tables with comfortable chairs, but if you sit at the bar, you can watch the chefs in action.
The Food
The various types of sushi and sashimi are always fresh and fine. When soft shell crab is in season, order it. Crackling crisp on the outside, tender and delicate on the inside, it's artfully presented. Rolls can seem a bit pricey, but every bite is worth the cost. The house special is Tokyo-style sukiyaki. It consists of tender, thin-sliced beef, tofu, shiitake mushrooms and Napa cabbage, all swimming in a broth of sweet rice wine and soy sauce. It's more than enough for two people and reasonably priced--an excellent choice.

We visited this location on a Friday night. A half an hour before their official closing time, they starting throwing up chairs, told us it was "last call" to order more rolls, and made it blatantly obvious that they were "bothered" to have us there so late. Again, this was 30 mins before closing! The final straw was before we even got our sushi, they asked us to pay. The woman returned seriously 4 mins later as I was trying to eat, and asked for the receipt! I could not believe the rush everyone was in to get out of there by 10!! Sadly, I take clients to the downtown location all the time, but because of this, I will no longer. The sushi was so-so as well. Only one sushi chef was nice about the whole thing. We seriously were done and left at 10:04PM, 4 mins after their official closing time!!. Poor poor service. We won't return. With so many great sushi places around, why would ya?
Pros: In a hurry? They will scoot you along to get you out before closing!
Cons: Poor, rushed, service and sushi that was overall "so so". I'll go else where.

The sushi is superb, the service is friendly, and the prices are reasonable. The only criticism involves cleanliness. The walls near diners should be cleaned spotless.
Pros: Food, ambience, service, prices
Cons: cleanliness
