What People Are Saying About Ginza Japanese Restaurant
The Editor
Eric Grossman
Citysearch
In Short – Three sushi chefs are in perpetual motion, constructing the complicated maki rolls that are locally famous. Large numbers of Japanese patrons speak to the authenticity of the menu--Japanese pop music and waitresses in kimonos further contribute to the mood. Ginza also offers a sizeable selection of traditional Japanese specialties, including yakiniku and nabemono-barbecue, and hot-pot dishes prepared at your table.

Disappointed
by rocca44 at Citysearch
I went to this place after hearing all the great reviews, but was very disappointed. First of all, the place smelled as I entered with my friends (we all noticed it). The service was not impressive and was very slow. The waitresses should focus on providing prompt service. Be aware of the daily sushi specials that was recommended to us, and was not on the menu: we forgot to ask the price so we had the suprise waiting when the bill came! These specials were 3x the price of the sushi on the menu, but that is nothing. It was simply not worth it. Everything was way tooo salty. I sadly have to say that I will NOT revisit this place.
- Pros: fast
- Cons: parking, way too salty food

Very small servings
by slovakinboston at Citysearch
I ordered Chirashi and was very disappointed. I get the same meal in many different restaurants in Boston but this was the smallest portion I ever got. The $20 meal was just like a small appetizer, maybe 4 slices of sashimi for $20??? The fish was average quality. Will never go there again. After dinner I went to Shabu Zen one street away and had some excellent sashimi for excellent price. I also recommend Oishii. I wouldn't waste my money at Ginza in Chinatown again!
- Cons: very small portions, average sashimi

Consistent & reliable
by thaiboo at Citysearch
I go there every few months or so and while it's not stellar, sushi quality is consistent and there are many other things to try on the menu (like the variety of soups) than your average Boston Japanese restaurant. Hamachi (yellowtail) & tuna (sashimi or sushi) are good basic choices; I tend to stay away from the fancy rolls drowned in mayo. For dessert, the fried ice cream is very good (ginger + green tea ice cream inside), and is huge - 5" diameter ball piled high with whipped cream. Ask for at least 2 spoons.
- Pros: Sushi, other menu items
- Cons: No real complaints
