This is their "Super Sushi Deluxe," which comes with a spicy tuna roll and miso soup. $27 Four pieces of salmon is a bit much -- I'd have liked more variety. Shrimp also feels like a lazy filler since it's one of the cheapest options. That said, the quality is solid, the miso soup was decent, and this is exactly what you'd expect from a reliable neighborhood sushi spot. Nigiri were nicely sized, just not the most exciting mix. Overall, I'm giving 251 Ginza a B-. Decent quality, fair value, but the fish lineup needs more diversity. For the full breakdown, follow The Raw Report on TikTok. read more

Note: Review is for the area and in comparison to other similar restaurants. No, it's not four stars if you compare this to a nicer Japanese place but this obviously isn't trying to be. Anyway, I've been to this tiny little sushi spot a handful of times. The people here are friendly, the food is pretty good, and they make stuff pretty quickly. The main thing I order is the Ginza Special Lunch which has 2 each of salmon, tuna, and yellowtail with a choice of an eel avocado, spicy salmon, or spicy tuna roll which I think is around $17 or $18 for a good size lunch. The yellowtail is my preference of the bunch but all are pretty solid. I have also had three roll combo which is fine with the same quality fish but I find the sashimi here is better than the rolls. Both of said lunches comes with the standard salad or miso soup you find in most other Japanese takeout spots. The quality each time has been solid at least in terms of fish which is the more important part though the rice hasn't always had the best texture (which is one of the reasons why the sushi is worse than the sashimi. In terms of the area, I prefer Blue Mountain a bit on 3rd several blocks down at least for the selection as well as their sushi box and their more consistent rolls but this has easily taken over Oishi Bay as the second best option in the area. Mid/upper 3. read more

Reliable neighborhood sushi takeout restaurant. As others have mentioned in their reviews on various platforms, it can be hit of miss with this place; sometimes the quality of fish is fresh as one can expect from a hole in the wall and given the reasonable prices, while others the quality is questionable. I think the key to understanding this variability in quality and not getting upset when stuck with a meh order is to think of it in terms of this being a small-ish business with a schedule for delivery of fresh fish- they're turnover wont be quick like bigger large foot traffic restaurants, and they're closed on Saturdays. Work around that logic and you'll almost always end up with fresh fish. Food is prepared quickly and efficiently. It ain't fancy but it'll fix a hankering, No complaints. read more

Pretty solid takeout sushi - 2 roll lunch special with miso soup was $15. The rolls were pretty plumped and very fresh. They don't skimp on the fish or avocado. The rice definitely tasted more rice vinegar forward than other places but it was tasty and worked well. I'd definitely come back again. read more

Did sushi takeout and was very impressed. Really high quality fish, and the special rolls were not masked by overly strong or sweet sauces. The spicy scallop sushi was a star or the show. Just enough spice to know you ordered spicy, but not so much that you couldn't taste anything else. The vegetable tempura was a great portion for the price and the broccoli tempura was fun and unexpected. The other star was the teriyaki tofu. Light and fluffy soft tofu with a thin fried outside and a great sauce. Takeout was fast and came with everything we needed to quickly dig in! 10/10 would recommend. Menu items: S1. Miso Soup Spicy Tuna R5. Spicy Scallop Roll R7. Spicy Salmon Roll R15. Yellowtail Scallion Roll 14. Spicy Girl Roll 17. Volcano Roll read more

I live close by, so this is my go-to takeout sushi place. And I eat a LOT of sushi, so I am here frequently (at least once every two weeks). I'm the kind of person that has their sushi order down pat, and it doesn't change much. I order a shrimp tempura roll, spicy salmon roll, and a spicy scallop roll. I have yet to be disappointed by the quality of the fish. It's consistently good, and relatively inexpensive. They're super quick with their orders as well. Highly recommend this spot! read more

Incredibly fresh and plentiful food! A must-try for anyone visiting or local. Let's dive in ... Yellowtail Jalapeño Roll (5/5): Wow! That yellowtail tastes like it www caught today, while the jalapeño is kindly deveined and deseeded yet incredibly juicy and crunchy. This roll, as with the others, is well packed in a bountiful and yet organized way. Spicy White Tuna Roll (5/5): Holy macaroni. This is the best spicy/crunchy roll of any sushi joint I've tried in the city. The tuna is ultra fresh and the spicy crunchy tempura part is actually really crunchy and not soggy like most places do; and it's flavorful nature was genuinely not expected and I'm the opposite of disappointed. Alaska Mak (5/5): This large 5-piece roll really threw me off at first glance but checked all the boxes and then some. The cucumber crunches, the avocado is creamy, the salmon fresh as can be. Salmon Skin Salad (4/5): There is an abundance of salmon skin in this salad. The rest is mostly lettuce and a sprinkle of shaved carrot and cucumber pieces. Would have been nice for more veg other than the lettuce. But let me tell you how good the dressing is -- it's a carrot gingery burst of flavor I wouldn't trade for anything and they give you two containers generously. Edamame (4/5): Well cooked but no salt so this the minus one. Vegetable Miso Soup (3/5): The blend of vegetables here was fine and the broth is nothing to write home about. Mostly lettuce (why?), some broccoli and carrot plus tofu chunks. Spinach and Tofu Soup (4/5): This soup is exactly what it promises to be. The clear broth is tasty but plain -- which I guess this should be. The spinach and tofu are exactly what you would expect. Checks the box. TL;DR: While this place doesn't have soups or edamame I would rave over, the rolls and fish (in the rolls and salad) are my new all time favorites in NY. 100% on the repeat list. read more

In this mostly residential neighborhood, takeout/delivery joints are a dime a dozen and destination restaurants are few and far between. Somehow, despite there being many, many places to order your standard sushi roll lunch and dinner specials, most of them fall short. The fish may be rubbery and of subpar quality and the rice overly sweet or overcooked. Ginza gets it right. The prices are standard, the food is fresh, and they've always gotten my order right, which is more than I can say at nearby sushi restaurants. You'll find all the classics here, but I especially love the eel roll, yellowtail jalapeno, and salmon avocado. I'll order for pick up or delivery as there's no space to sit inside, but this place is so much better than the other spots in Murray Hill that I'll walk an extra few blocks to get the better sushi here. read more

Wow new fav delivery spot. Fresh fish and good miso soup. I got 2 roll lunch special (shrimp tempura & salmon avocado) and 1 spicy scallop hand roll. The rolls were very good, good portions on the fillings. But the spicy scallop was AMAZING. I am definitely going to save this store for my delivery sushi. Too bad I didn't take a picture of the food. Fresh fish, ripe avo, and the sauces were good too (eel sauce and spicy mayo) read more

Overall, great sushi and ambiance! We got the Spicy girl and the American dream! The spicy girl was our favorite because it was more flavorful but both were solid. This place is small and take out only but derive was super fast and great. Def recommend! read more

Sushi takeout is my Sunday night ritual, so I ordered from here to try a new place in my neighborhood. The order was ready really quickly, which was a plus. I ordered the spicy girl roll, a spicy salmon roll, and seaweed salad. When I opened up my order at home, I was disappointed since they gave me a salmon avocado roll instead of my spicy salmon roll. The spicy girl roll was good, but nothing over the top. Not sure if I will be back, but it was quick and affordable. read more

This is for delivery orders. For two days in a row, they delivered my order within 10-15 minutes of placing it. Granted I am only 11 streets away, but the turnaround time is still impressive. Their rolls are pretty stuffed too. I wouldn't get the nigiri here as the white fish and salmon piece i had tasted kinda fishy. Other than that, it's a great spot to order some rolls for lunch or dinner. read more

This place is just down the street from my apt so I find myself wandering in here from time to time. I'd say this is a GREAT place to order take out. Always fresh, the prices are great, and the food is plentiful. On the eat-in side it can be a challenge. This place is TINY. It has 3 bar seats and two 2-person tables. So 7 seats total. During lunch they are usually rushing to fill take-out orders so you will be sitting around a lot of bags and with the delivery folks popping in and out of the door every few minutes. But the food is delicious and they have lunch specials so its worth it. read more

Ginza sushi is a solid spot if you want sushi or chinese food. The salmon bento box was also solid. The delivery came fast and hot. No complaints. Was it the best food I have had? No, but it did the job. 3 stars. read more

Came here on a last minute decision and don't regret it. It's a small take out only sushi spot so I didn't expect too much but I was wrong. The portion size for these sushi was a good ratio between rice and fish and was filling. The lunch special was a good deal which was like $17 for 3 rolls and miso soup just like a lot of other sushi spots. The only reason I gave it a 4 star is because they only give you one small container for soy sauce even if you get like three rolls. Typically 2 would be fine. read more

Good sushi on the go. They work quickly and give you a good amount of food for your dollar. I liked their vegetarian options and the staff is friendly. Only reason I give 4 and not 5 stars is because I wish their ginger and wasabi tasted more fresh. Otherwise, great spot and will return again! read more

A small place but don't underestimate it!! This is the perfect place for a quick sushi lunch. Best to go by yourself or with one other person. There are only two tables and some seating at the sushi bar. Service is prompt and staff is nice. They have a lunch special which is reasonably priced. I usually get the 3 roll sushi lunch special with a salad. Love the sushi. Rice to fish ratio is on point but the best part is that it tastes fresh. Have been here about 5 times, definitely my go-to sushi place in the area. read more

Very good, reliable, and bang for your buck sushi takeout joint! I've known about this place for a while but I didn't want to break up with Nobi down the street. I gave in one Sunday night and ordered the roll combo with yellowtail scallion, eel cucumber, and salmon avocado. I prefer Nobi's selection of roll combos since I haven't been a fan of yellowtail lately, but this roll changed my mind! The yellowtail was awesome with just enough scallion and plenty of delicious fish. The other rolls were great too as well as the miso soup! At $20 for a 3 roll combo meal and soup, they're on par with other value-based sushi in this part of the city. I'll definitely be adding them to my takeout rotation! read more

Phenomenal sushi place. I was distracted by the size of the place, but that didn't matter once I got my first roll, it was amazing. The proportions were really good, not too much rice, the rice was fluffy and delicious, the fish was so fresh and super tasty. Had to order more rolls and also some nigiri and a hand roll too, all were excellent. Great service and highly recommended! read more

best avocado cucumber roll i've had anywhere. most fat, vibrant, sweet, perfectly ripened avocado slices i've ever seen in a sushi roll. i would share a picture but i inhaled all of my food so quickly the thought never even occurred to me. i eat a LOT of veggie rolls but i never once fathomed a roll could taste like that. 100000% going back specifically for more of that magic. also had an age tofu (which was perfect, REALLY good sauce and nice portion) and a brown rice. we called them after closing but they offered to throw our order together no problem and we had it in 10 minutes. my dad got a yellowtail scallion roll he's been absolutely raving about, SUPER generous portion of fish that he claims 'will ruin every yellowtail roll i try from now on.' my sister had a philadelphia roll which she had no problem with (and looked excellent) but i think she was even more impressed with the veggie roll i got. 10/10 best use of your sushi money hands down. only wish we ordered early enough to try the fries, but i'm sure we will fairly soon !!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

This is a small sushi restaurant, which takes online orders. The sushi is very good and is fresh. They have sushi pizza!!! The sushi pizza consists of tuna, salmon, seaweed salad on a scallion pancake with spicy mayo. It was delicious and enough to share among two people. I also had a salmon avocado roll. You can select the style for each roll, maki, inside out or hand roll. I opted for the hand roll. You might get slightly less with the hand roll, but it's so much more fun to eat. read more

This is our go-to spot in the neighborhood anytime we want a bento box. You can't beat the deal for the lunch specials either. $12 for a lunch special bento box which includes salad, miso soup, spring roll, gyoza, rice, entree, and California roll. As I'm not the biggest California roll fan, I love that they give the option to swap that for another maki roll for an extra dollar or two. Shrimp and veggie tempura bento box (pictured) is my usual order if I'm not getting sushi or sashimi. Staff is friendly as well. read more

This place sells average sushi at best, I don't know why the rave of this place. We came to this place, well-knowing that this is a simple take away place, but I dismissed the prejudice that a mere takeaway couldn't do good sushi, but there I had my prejudice proven. Actually, the sushi wasn't that bad, but it could have been better, but the woman serving us (not the young one, but the older lady) was quite rude and not hospitable at all. It made me regret my decision that we should have gone to the more-known sushi place instead. There you go, now I've learned my lesson. read more

Every neighborhood needs a really good, reliable, basic Japanese place and 251 Ginza absolutely fits the bill. It's been around for many years but I only discovered it about a month ago. I'm not really a sushi eater so I've focused on the cooked dishes and they're all terrific. The lunch bento box is one of the best deals in town. Something as simple as miso soup can, at many places, taste like dish water. Not here. Delicious with lots of seaweed. The teriyaki and don buri and tempura - all excellent. Don't know why it took me so long to get there but I'm sooooo glad I did! read more

Love Ginza! Me and my friends order from here all the time. They're very reliable, quick, and most importantly affordable for the quality of food they're serving. read more

Had a really poor experience the first time I ordered here on seamless, but decided to give it a second shot today for lunch (Thursday). I went with the 3 roll + 3 piece sushi lunch combo that also comes with miso soup. The rolls and sushi were awesome and fresh! I went with spicy tuna, yellowtail scallion, and salmon avo. The rolls were neatly packed unlike last time and they are tasted great...no suspect tuna :) For the 3 pieces of sushi I ordered eel, white tuna, and octopus. I like the eel and white tuna; however, the octopus was rubbery so I wouldn't get that one again. Would definitely try it again here for lunch! read more

I've decided that this is my favorite takeout sushi in the neighborhood.. They're a little bit pricier, but you always get really fresh fish, big salad portions & they have the best brown rice. I order on seamless and they usually beat the delivery time! I highly recommend it here. :) read more

Their salmon avocado, yellowtail scallion, & eel cucumber combo was really fresh. I noticed the superior eel sauce had some sorta wine-y effervescence to it. The shrimp mango salad was ok, wouldn't get it again. Best thing here besides their eel rolls are the fresh mild and grainy bright green wasabi granules. Yes I approve. read more

Order food here for the first time and also the last time. The food was ok, the rice is so hard to eat that I have to make my own rice and also the wasabi was fake.

We got the ginza special roll, avocado roll, spicy salmon roll and the eel avocado roll. All portions were great, it tasted very fresh and flavourful. We also got the miso soup which arrived hot and was super tasty. And lastly, oh my goodness their calamari! It was so fresh and tasty! Didn't love the sauce it came with so we're glad we ordered a spicy Mayo too. Would definitely order from here again!!! read more

I attempted to find a replacement for Aji Sushi where the food is crappy and the service is rude and abrupt. Here's how it went: I have been to this place many times...and it's getting progressively worse. They have two tables and a tiny bar. The first time, we had okay service and it seemed cute. The next time the service was a little crusty. And it's rude to have ongoing conversation especially in another language that sounds like it could be negative conversation about the customers. (Business conversation is understandable to expedite order, etc--but, this is ongoing social conversation in front of...or behind the back of... customers.) The next time I went, there was an employee with his head down sleeping at the table next to us...the whole time...and in the window too, so completely visible to people walking by -- potential customers... The last time, the two tables were already in use by employees. The woman serving us is fairly impatient and rude, although she ignores you when she's talking on the phone (socially). She also wears a big puffer winter coat while serving you -- which is gross bc she dips her coat right over and basically into your food. There's a heater blowing hot air into your face--the lady in the coat should turn it on herself and wear appropriate attire. If you weren't sure if they cared, they will make it abundantly clear that they really don't. That said, the food isn't bad. I will do take-out from now on--or hopefully find a new place. read more
