Not good. Lots of rice, not enough filling, felll apart and really tasted bland. Service was very so so, when we pointed out the sushi as such they were not apologetic and were kind of dismissive. Ambiance was ok but the restaurant didn't have great vibes.

I've been here many time. I had the dynamite roll today. It was fine. Not amazing. The gibbon roll was delicious. The Boston was pretty good. The crab Rangoon wasn't very good. It's kind of a divey place which I like. It's cute. The service was good. No complaints there. My daughter likes it so I would come back with her.

Been here many times over several years. I return or order takeout about once per month. Pros: Prompt service with local-family-owned vibes. The food is always delicious. Sushi and cooked meals from the kitchen are fresh and tasty. Lots to choose from on the menu. Cons: A toddler usually makes a couple appearances before being drug back into the kitchen area by a member of staff. Attention to detail lacking (cobwebs on decor, chipped plates, clutter about, wilted lettuce).

We came in here a few nights ago when I was craving sushi. Upon entering, I was a little taken aback by how cluttered and messy the restaurant was. There was only one couple eating which also made me nervous. We ordered chicken teriyaki, spicy tuna roll and Ginban roll. The chicken teriyaki was decent; however, the rolls were terrible. They tasted fishy -- I couldn't eat them. The spicy tuna roll was bright red, as if they just doused the tuna in a bunch of sriracha to attempt to cover up the fishiness. The Ginban was just as fishy even with all of the junk sauces drenched on top. The ingredient list on the menu didn't include a crab stick in this roll but that's what I got. Just awful. This was the most disappointing sushi I have had probably ever, and I have eaten at many sushi restaurants. Run far away.

Have gone to Ginban many times while visiting Phoenix and have historically had a good 4 star experience. This time ordered the sushi and sashimi combo, yam yam and spicy girl rolls, and some ramen. Ramen was fine, but both quantity and quality of the sushi had dropped. The rolls were good, but the fish on the top were small, thin slivers which in the past was not the case. The most disappointing was the sushi and sushi combo. The sushi was mostly rice, ratio to fish was terrible, there was no himachi / yellowtail, looks like the substituted white fish, the pieces overall were small, and quality wasn't very fresh. It wasn't fishy, rather it had no taste. It was a disappointment. 3 stars is giving them the benefit of the prior times I've gone, but if it's like this again then I'll update to 2 stars.

I was craving sushi and saw this place close by that had good reviews. Had my hopes up, but the food was just kinda ..eh. The fish was a little fishy, which isn't good when it comes to sushi. The restaurant was a little cluttered too. The staff was friendly though though. Doubtful I'd try it again.

Delicious- Salmon Teriyaki dinner, Philly, Ginban and calamari rolls

Great Food and delicious. Service is always great no issues there. Great atmosphere. Food is made from scratch and fresh-

Oh my word!! We didn't know their rolls were going to be so big or we wouldn't have ordered so much. Lol. Great mistake to have!! Every last roll was super good. To be honest, I don't remember what we ordered but, they were all worth it. They each carried such umami flavor and hit every single taste bud! We ordered to go. The only downside was, it took 1 hour and 45 minutes to get our order. Had we known this would have been the timeframe, we would've placed the order well in advance. But again, it was worth every minute we waited. We would definitely go back. However, we would not order as much. It took us three days to finish it.

Overall great visit. This place was on about the same level as our usual sushi place. We decided to see how Ginban was by comparison. Prices were a little cheaper than usual. Quality was great. I got a salmon combo. It was delicious with great quality salmon! Miso and salad were tasty too. I especially enjoyed the dressing. Yum! Boyfriend got the bento box with tempura. He loved it. Fast and friendly service, great food and a good price! Cost about $50 for the two of us with tip included. Definitely recommend! read more

I had the ninja jalapeños. As I did every time we went, It was my favorite! We went there all the time and we understand mistakes happen and we weren't going to be upset but my boyfriend called to let them know so they could pull the ingredients to avoid others getting sick and the manager got defensive. She refused to believe it could have been their food (it was all I had that day) and was confrontational and rude the whole phone call. Very disappointing. I honestly loved that restaurant enough I would have eaten there again. Now I won't go back not because of the food poisoning but because of their service read more

Overall this place is pretty sub par. I left with a $50 tab and for the quality of food, I don't think it was worth it. You can get the same thing at teharu for WAY cheaper (granted teharu is not fresh and disgusting). The atmosphere is very nice though. Staff is neither friendly, nor unfriendly, just very quiet. I mean. I'd probably come here again since it's right around the corner from my house but it's not at the top of my sushi restaurant priority list. read more

The major downside of this restaurant is that it's extremely far from my house. :( We stopped here for a bit on the way to Tucson and I'm so glad we did. Rolls were fresh and creative. Service was excellent. We had the Banana Mama roll and while it's not my favorite roll, it is possibly the most creative roll I've ever eaten. Prices were very reasonable and it was a great value. read more

We were really disappointed in the customer service and food. The calamari is more like dried up tiny fast food onion rings. We ordered to go and the staff seemed upset that we didn't give them a tip for "taking our order"... so we asked for soy sauce and she gave us a tiny cup barely filled after we purchased almost $50 worth of sushi. We were also missing part of our order. The sweet and sour sauce was watered down. We won't be back and we recommend going somewhere else. read more

Eat here. I could stop the review with those two words but I'll add a bit more color. This is hands down the best sushi spot in Phoenix. I've tried way too many of them. After a while I got to know the owners, Kenny and Vivian, and they're very nice and accommodating. Kenny was always willing to make a special off-menu dish (I never asked for one if they were swamped) and they sometimes have specials you won't get in most places, like the time they had a fresh sea urchin (delicious). Also, get the fresh (real) wasabi. You won't regret it. Alas my time in Phoenix ended (a while ago - somehow I forgot to post this review) and this spot is what I miss most. If you see Kenny and Vivian, tell them I said hello. read more

The sashimi here is of VERY high quality. Every bite melted in my mouth. It's probably the best I've had in the area. But I can't give them 5 stars because after we were seated and we ordered, we waited 2 hours for most of our food to come out and one of our rolls were forgotten until the very end after we were pretty much done eating. Also saw the waiter give wrong orders to people, and also saw 2 other tables leave because of the wait. Sigh.. I guess it's worth trying out, but I can't justify being a regular here. read more

Nice decor and very clean. The food is either real good or real bad, depending on what you order. The Gyoza and seaweed salad are great and the teriyaki chicken is horrible. The chicken clearly is not cooked there, it tastes like it is precooked from us foods and thawed out. The Katsu sauce is not Japanese at all. I guess if you only want sushi it's ok, but the fish is average. The service is quick but not very engaging. read more

Decided to try Ginban after reading many positive reviews. My boyfriend and I have been looking for a decent sashimi place. We ordered the sashimi deluxe, and since it happened to be happy hour we also ordered a ginban roll, spicy salmon roll, and seaweed salad. The sashimi deluxe included seven different kinds of sashimi, three pieces of each kind. The quality was average for Arizona-- a couple of the pieces did not taste very fresh. However, the price fit with the quality as it was only $24. The ginban roll was similar to what you get at asian fusion restaurants; the spicy salmon roll was below average; the seaweed salad was above average. The service was average. There was only one server working. She checked up on us periodically, but was not very friendly. The atmosphere was nice for a date, although it was very quiet (almost too quiet). There were three other couples eating while we were there. Overall, I would eat here again--but it would not be my first choice. read more

The interior was trendy, with wood floors and walls, industrial ceiling and top 40 music playing. I ordered the Spicy Tuna Tempura Roll, the Sunshine Roll and an iced tea. In all, it came to $28.72 plus tip. The tea was rather large, which was refreshing for today's restaurants. My lunch arrived in about 15 mins, mostly because a table for four sat down right before me and they were rather needy. The sunshine roll was different than any other sunshine roll I'd had. Their menu descriptions were rather minimal but I was expecting lemon and got masego (roe). It was okay but not what whetted my appetite The tuna roll was a vey pleasant surprise though. I assumed the shrimp tempura would be the only fried aspect but the entire roll was fried after assembly. Very good balance of savory to saucy, heat to cool and soft to crunchy. I'd order that roll again. I'll come back, next time I'm in the area.

Has a menu that has surprisingly many options to choose from! Happy hour from 3-6pm (M-F, don't quote me), including sushi and drink options. A few people patronizing when we arrived on a Thursday about 5:30pm. By 6pm the place was nearly packed with everything from groups, families, and solo patrons. Love the idea of a sake-bomb with HUGE Sapporos . The tonkatsu is my fave at any spot, & theirs was equally as delicious. Served was attentive & kind despite having about 6 tables. The best part: the price! Lots of bang for your buck here! Definitely found a new spot!

It's not necessarily a place I'd go for an elevated dining experience, but for happy hour and affordable food, it certainly has its place. We've tried a variety of rolls, fried specialty rolls, and appetizers, including the fried tofu. The portions are generous, the presentation is respectable, and the food is generally satisfying. The fried rolls are a good option if you enjoy something a little richer, while the traditional rolls offer a nice balance of flavors. The atmosphere is fairly casual and straightforward. There are certainly higher end sushi restaurants around the Valley with better ambiance, more refined ingredients, and a more memorable dining experience. However, those places also come with a considerably higher price tag. Food service is good with keeping our drinks topped off. Ultimately, Sushi N U is a solid option when you're ballin' on a budget. Take advantage of happy hour, order a few rolls, grab a beer, and enjoy a reasonably priced meal without expecting fine dining.

We went on a random weekday for lunch and were able to get seated right away. You just order through the ipad at the table. Super convenient because you can look through each item individually and assemble your cart. You do checkout and pay right away, which can be done through the ipad if paying by card/cashless. The food came out fairly quickly. I got the origami classic with pork belly. It also comes with vegetables and a soft boiled egg. Other than ramen, they also have a variety of appetizers, onigiri, udon, curry, donburi (rice bowl), and many drink options. I really enjoyed my ramen! The broth was really nice and the pork belly was delicious. I would love to come back!

There are lots of Asian touches, like the mural of Mount Fuji with cherry blossoms. The menu has seen several kinds of ramen as well as several kinds of hibachi meals and side dishes. It was absolutely delicious, although someone at the table next to us got the hibachi chicken and it smelled and looked soooo good. We also got some gyoza, which was also super yummy. Our server was great. For a while, he was the only one, so he was running hard, but still was attentive and organized. This place is great. We are going back next weekend to try the hibachi. There was a constant stream of people, so it looks like others have already found this gem.

Looking at the menu for some reason I had a feeling ramen was not going to fill me up so I decided to order appetizer. Ordered Geso Yaki (fried squid legs) and gal recommended Tantan ramen if I I like spicy. Geso Yaki came and looked pretty good with some side sweet dipping sauce. It's not really just squid legs had other parts of squid which I didn't mind. It tasted pretty good with slight crisp to it.. Batter had some seasoning which made it tastier. Then my ramen came.. Looked pretty good but portion looked small. But then again for costing $14 can't complain. Broth was nice and hearty and I couldn't quite figure out the flavor. Then I read the description and it said sesame.. Then it made little more sense of the flavor. I definitely would not call it spicy. Ramen noodle was nice and chewy just the way I like it.. Only thing I didnt like was the pork. It was not bad but I prefer the fatty melt in your mouth kind with my ramen. Over all the food was pretty darn good and price was on point. I would definitely come back here again.

Sushi is really good, love the fact they have a brown rice option that I can't get that at other places Food: the happy hour menu has real value - there are a number of rolls, appetizers and sashimi is among the freshest I've had in the East Valley. I skip their rolls now for the sushi and sashimi. Service was bad. therefore 4 stars. read more

We were quite surprised to see that this place not only has a regular menu, but is a revolving sushi bar as well. There are lots of tables both regular and high top, and lots of cherry blossoms hanging over the sushi bar. That really dresses the place up. Our server told us to just pick a seat wherever we wanted and we told her we were doing the revolving sushi she did come back and check on us several times. She was very friendly. The sushi was pretty good. The selection is relatively small and you won't have the larger selection like you might find at another revolving sushi; however, the price is here are outstanding. If you're in the mood for sushi (or are feeding a teenage boy) but don't want to spend a lot of money, this is your place! Each plate is $2.50 regardless of what's on it. I was full after three plates (9 pieces of sushi)--that's only $7.50! That's insane!

This sushi restaurant does do happy hour, and they offer a lot on their happy hour menu. I would definitely recommend coming during their happy hour times. The Sushi was good, we got a few rolls. The Las Vegas, Spicy Tuna, and The King Kong. The King Kong was awesome, it had so many different flavors and a large piece of eel on top. I would definitely recommend checking it out. The Spicy tuna was really good, it had the perfect spice level and the fish tasted fresh. The Las Vegas was good, but not my favorite. Compared to other Las Vegas rolls I have had at different restaurants, this one tasted a little too much like krab. It overpowered the rest of the ingrediants. I probably personally wouldn't get it again, but I don't think it was a bad roll. Overall, I recommend you checking this restaurant out!

We didn't want to wait for the grill to heat up. We also didn't want to make them do a show for just the two of us. I wish we had waited. All of my experiences have been at any restaurant the food is always better at the grill. Hubby got a beer & I got Tito's & cranberry juice. Both of which were good. We both ordered the same food. Filet medium & shrimp with fried rice. The salad & soup were good. Unfortunately the shrimp & steak were over cooker. This was disappointing especially with the price of the meals. The vegetables were good & we received a lot of them. The rice was under seasoned, but we had soy sauce to put on it. Service was good, but just disappointed with the meats.
