Alright, it's official: I LOVE THIS PLACE. Sure, prices are high, but the quality is there! This time, I got to try the pumpkin fried rice, and that itself deserves 5 stars! It was sooo delicious!! I'm definitely ordering that every time I come here to eat! It's THAT good!! We also ordered the tea smoked pork belly, and it was melt-in-your-mouth deliciousness. I'm salivating just thinking about it. I've realized that this place is not the place to go for sushi. Sushi here is good, but they have a tremendous array of appetizers that are definitely worth trying! I ordered the special that night, which was teriyaki halibut and beef tenderloin katsu. Very tasty and interesting, and only 15 bucks for a complete meal with miso soup and salad. However, next time we're definitely just going to try the appetizers, happy-hour style. There's so much good stuff on that menu!! read more

Super tasty but a bit pricy. The best sashimi I can remember having - the flavors are just so fresh! And the fish are delightfully fatty. Besides the basic sashimi and rolls (which were also well-executed) my group got pumpkin fried rice and tea-smoked pork belly to share. The pumpkin fried rice made everyone happy! was everyone's favorite! (and the sashimi..) It came out all adorably packed into a kabocha squash with a little kabocha cap. The fried rice is simple - glutinous rice (aka sticky rice) with green onions, pumpkin cubes, and porky bits (like asian bacon bits). The whole dish was quite filling because after eating up the rice, you can also eat the squash! I'd love to come back and try the rest of the little bites on the menu, but it's a wee pricy. read more

My girl tells me that we're going out to a Japanese restaurant on Saturday for my birthday dinner. Well, we don't visit downtown Bellevue very much and so it took us a couple extra turns, but we found GINZA!! As we pull into the parking lot, I noticed a few familiar cars and I'm wondering why my friends are here, it turned out to be my surprise birthday party dinner! HAHA! Great!! Friends + new restaurant, it was surely gonna be a good time. We get in and I didn't see anyone I knew, okay.. that's puzzling. It turns out they have a sectioned off room for small parties! DOPE!! But you gotta remove your shoes to hop in here, they even have a small shelf to put your shoes. You step in and can pull the sliding door for privacy, but it can get a bit hot in there. LOL It was nice that they could accommodate our party of 20 people and put us all on desperate bills. It worked out well. The had added a 15% tip for gratuity, but no one seemed to claim about it. I had a lot of food, but I had to share... but it's okay, I was still pretty full afterwards. We ordered the deep fried oysters, burning bomb roll, ginza roll, a vegetarian roll and a tuna roll along with the pumpkin fried rice. What stood out? I'd have to say the pumpkin fried rice and the burning bomb roll. Their menu is quite large though, there are a lot of things on there that I would like to try next time!! It is a bit expensive, but I'd say it's a treat. I probably wouldn't come weekly, but once of month is surely affordable. The restaurant is pretty small, but I was very happy with my visit. I'm hoping to return again soon. Ginza, ARIGATO!! read more

We got the Sashimi Platter at Ginza and I was surprised by the amount of Sashimi they gave us. The price was fair for what we got. The fish was high quality and I enjoyed the meal. I would definitely go back to try more of their dishes. They have good service and abundant options. read more

I stopped for lunch at Ginza, my first visit of many! At this time the restaurant is under construction, but I could hardly notice it, except for some plastic barrier. I had the special of the day, which was a very hard choice, considering all the great things on the menu. The special was Halibut Teriyaki and Chicken Katsu accompanied by Miso soup, a small potato salad. The place was busy, but the service was quite good. The food was terrific, I just need to find a place to nap after taking a nap after one of these large lunches! As Arnold Schwarzenegger says, "I'll be baaack" read more

Great place for not just sushi but also a bunch of other Japanese fare. We always like to get 3 rolls or so and then try another dish or two. Pumpkin rice is of-course the most awesome thing but the yakisoba isn't and katsu chicken arent bad either. I wish they offered Katsu curry chicken as well. Find a place around 7pm is always tough and they dont take reservations either. Try to go there slightly earlier or later in the evening to avoid waiting time. read more

This place is huge! It's a sushi/Japanese BBQ hybrid establishment, and the back is presumably for parties that aren't BBQing, while the tables at the front of the restaurant have grills. My boyfriend and I were only there for sushi, but they took us to the front of the house without asking. Not too big of a deal, but the grill was kind of getting in the way of our plates, especially since we were sharing everything. The sushi was good, some of the fish could be fresher, but overall it was quite good. We got the kanihama roll, which had imitation crab, hamachi, and avocado ($7.25) and two pieces of toro nigiri ($13). The toro was okay, but it was cheaper than toro we normally get so expectations weren't that high. We also ordered the sushi deluxe ($26) that came with 4 pieces of some mystery charred fish, not the best tasting but it was interesting, eight pieces of tuna (two kinds), four pieces of salmon, two pieces of hamachi, two pieces of albacore, and two pieces of octopus. I would have preferred some other type of fish other than the charred/smoked fish, but I guess the sushi deluxe gives the chef some flexibility, omakase-style, even though we were told by the waiter the omakase had less but cost more. Our server spoke quickly and very softly, so it was hard to understand him, and he was not attentive at all. He only took our order and never came back to check up on us. It was an awkward exchange. In fact, the service here was very unorganized. As I mentioned before, it would have been nice to sit at a regular table, rather than a table with a grill in the middle, and we had our order taken twice. After our initial order, another waitress came to ask what we wanted and we told her that we got the omakase but wanted to add a roll, and she made a completely new ticket until our original waiter finally came over after watching our exchange. I expected more organized service considering only three tables at the front of the house were occupied. Pros: reasonably priced, easy parking, good food Cons: sub-par/disorganized/awkward service read more

Hidden gem in Old Bellevue! I'm hardly ever on the eastside, but I will make the trip over 520 to eat here again. :) Lots of variety in the menu. My eyes were darting over at other tables. I wanted to try everything! I'm a sucker for presentation and yup, they got that too. The sushi rolls were really good. Good portions, fresh, and reasonably priced. The dessert: green tea creme brulee & panna cotta. (homemade!) They also give complimentary pickled cucumbers before your meal & after your meal, a cute fruit plate! The space was quaint & clean. & you know its authentic when a good number of customers are Japanese! the only minor minus is the parking lot is kinda small and it may be hard to find street parking on main. read more

Great location off of Main Street, and while this is my 2nd time, I finally had the chance to order exactly what I wanted and to review this on Yelp. So here I go- Service- Attentive and friendly, despite a 20 minute wait for a table of 6 on a Friday night. Price- Pricey considering the lack of ambiance (neither too authentic or trendy). I think their dinner combo items are overpriced for what they give you- I got the Black Cod Sukiyaki and it was ~$21. Dishes- Broiled beef tongue appetizer: Chewy and not great considering the price. Broiled pork belly skewer: DELICIOUS. Uni nigiri: AMAZING. Good price at $6.50. Need to try the Toro next time, also seems like a good price. Black Cod Sukiyaki: The cod was flavorful and tender, well made. Way too pricey for quantity. Comes with basically a bowl of white rice and a pile of salad that isn't appealing at all. Rather go to Maneki for the black cod collar for $6. Pumpkin Fried Rice: FANTASTIC. Pricey, but worth getting it and splitting it 4-6 ways. Fills up about 5 or 6 bowls well. Really tasty and great texture. Came out of the kitchen last (not sure if it takes a while), but if you come to Ginza, this is a must-get. Signature dish. read more

Seriously, I think I'm addicted to this place. I've only ordered their rolls and sashimi... it is sooo good. All of the rolls I've had so far are delicious - volcano roll (has a mountain of salmon on it... literally), rainbow roll, spider rolls, crunchy roll, the list continues. I still need to try their ramen. Couple of my friends have tried it, and they say its a must eat. Definitely give this place a chance - great service, yummy food, and nice area (a bit hidden) :) read more

Ginza - Volcano Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Le sad. The last few times I've been here the food just hasn't been that good! And gotten so much more expensive! The nasu dengaku was TINY and way too sweet. The legendary pumpkin fried rice was lacking in flavor...a dish with BACON was LACKING IN FLAVOR. So strange. The raw fish in the sushi was still very good. Four stars for the sushi. One star for the rest of the food. Two stars for service (like others have said, it was pretty bad). I'm afraid I will no longer go out of my way to go here. This pains me deeply. T_T ---- My previous review: I am of Japanese decent, have lived in Japan, and LOVE me some real Japanese food. I am EXTREMELY picky and I consider myself a connoisseur of Japanese food. I have eaten in some of the best restaurants in Tokyo, on the west coast, and DC - from hole in the wall dives to five star oh-my-gosh-that-cost-more -than-the-rent-on-my-apar tment places. That said, I think Ginza is my favorite Japanese restaurant in the Seattle area. Although Nishino's and Shiro's may be phenomenal, they are so expensive! And quite frankly, just not as enjoyable and welcoming in atmosphere either - bit too fancy to be able to relax. Plus Shiro's tends to be a bit old-fashioned and Nishino's can be a bit too fusion/new wave. Ginza is some down home Japanese goodness, the kind of food eaten by regular Japanese people on a daily basis. The presentation is lovely but simple (as it should be), and the food incredible. The nasu dengaku (broiled eggplant with miso sauce) was the BEST I have ever had, and I love this dish and order it everywhere I go. The eggplant was so buttery soft and delicious. The sauce was a perfect balance of sweet and salty! I wish I had ordered ten! I took pictures of it and posted it to my facebook, I was so in heaven! The kabocha fried rice (pumpkin fried rice) was, as many reviewers have said, AMAZING. And, as another reviewer said, it did taste like my mom's...and you have no idea how amazing that is! I have NEVER found a place, even in Japan, that did fried rice as good as my mom's!! My girlfriend said the shoyu ramen was as good as any she had had in Japan (I am allergic to wheat, so I couldn't taste it), and the broth really was exquisite. I was carefully watching the food being delivered around us and it all looked (and smelled) amazing and fully authentic. The cuts of raw fish on the sushi were generous and looked like excellent cuts. The service was quick and attentive, and we had no problem with our bill at all. read more

I came here based on one dish and one dish alone. My wife is from WA, and based on her sources, the pumpkin fried rice is the dish to get here. Now let's rewind a bit and start from the beginning. The restaurant has two sides... an older side and a newer side. Apparently they bought out the building next to them and expanded so the front side of the restaurant is the "newer" side and is pretty nice. The parking lot is located in the back of the building by the older part of the restaurant. It's a nice sized parking lot but it was pretty packed when we got there. It's a nice clean place with a sushi bar and tv. The menu is pretty big and includes an assortment of rolls, sashimi, rice plates, and noodles. I ended up ordering the Unagi roll, Spicy tuna roll, Chicken katsu, Pumpkin Fried rice and a Sapparo. Honestly, aside from the Pumpkin fried rice, everything was mediocre at best. The rolls were tiny and not the best. The amount of wasabi provided was a joke. The chicken katsu was pretty small for the price. I'm sure because the restaurant is located in Bellevue, the prices are subject to the higher rate, but seriously $15 for a chicken katsu? I've gotten a lot more for a lot less $$. Anyways on to the star of the review. The pumpkin fried rice is what they are known for and it did not disappoint. Warning for all the vegetarians, the dish contains bacon, which is probably part of the reason why there's so much flavor. Also, the dish is $20. In conclusion, I'd go back for the pumpkin fried rice.. but probably only that. read more

Ginza - Sushi Sashimi Combo - Sushi Bars Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Celebrating my gf's birthday at Ginza. I am expected Ginza to live up to expectation and was not disappointed at all. This place is at the top of my list. Before starting anything, if you want to get some delicious premium belly-filling meat, please come to Ginza and get ready for spend some money. This place has some of the best Wagyu meat I ever taste. Hands down! We had a feast on the table with pretty much from the Legen....(Wait for it)...da-ry pumpkin fried rice to sushi to the most expensive Wagyu beef. So what you would like to hear first, good or bad? Let me start with Good. We ordered the Pumpkin fried rice as soon as we seating down to the table and the dish came out literally exploding on the plate (look at pics). This fried rice dish will plunge you into Asia itself with its exquisite ever-lasting flavor. Add a little Siracha on top will make your taste bud tingle. As you have heard, the pumpkin fried rice did not disappoint. I am not sure with some other comment on the fried rice but for me, it was living up to expectation and I am a very picky food eater, especially coming to fried rice. So judge it for yourself, GET IT! Next, let discuss the second amazingness, Ginza for 2, including Rib Eye. Wagyu Beef, Fatty Pork, sashimi and some other stuffs. Let focus on the meat, just meat, the Wagyu beef slice is full-flavored moist and juicy. The Thin cut Rib eye is the best, taste like butter, melted in your mouth, and mouth watering. You feel like you are succulent into the meat itself. Last but not least, the fatty pork is juicy and crispy, After all, no other words can best describe the meat, please get this at Ginza, nothing else, but this. Now the bad you may ask? Nothing really bad bad, I just consider average. Sushi and sashimi at Ginza, I rated it to be average to above average. Nothing outstanding but for what price we paid, we expected the sushi quality to be better and fresher. However, let not get hung up over this. After all, did i already tell you to go to Ginza to get meat so LISTEN! GET MEAT! Get sushi and sashimi somewhere else. ENJOY! read more

From the moment my Japanese mom and I walked in here- we both felt the same sensation...why didn't we know about this place before!? In the hustle and bustle of Bellevue during a weekday lunch hour Ginza was very relaxing and welcoming. We came in and instantly were intrigued by all of the plates on tables around us, sashimi and nigiri boats, noodles and rolls. We ordered a few different rolls and some cold buckwheat dipping noodles it was all so delicious. I highly recommend the Ginza roll and poki roll. We were so impressed and wished we were hungrier, we will definitely be coming back. read more

Let me start off with the good: Pumpkin fried rice was amazing! Great presentation too! It's a little overpriced, but I would definitely get it again! Now for the bad: ordered three rolls: Crunch Seattle Roll, Mini Dragon Roll, and a Spider Roll. -odd thing: they all tasted the same! And they weren't fresh at all. Would come again for that rice, but not for the rolls! Oh, and the staff was great! Very hospitable! Thank you Ginza staff! read more

Ginza - Pumpkin Fried Rice. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Made reservations here for a birthday party and was greeted by a sweet woman who helped me find a parking spot and our table was all ready for us, which was nice especially since it was so busy there on a Sunday evening. Food-wise, I'd say it was decent. Ordered the chirashi to share. It was a good portion and had variety, but the fish quality was just average and two of us did not finish more than half of the bowl. The rolls were standard size and not bad from the ones I tried of my friends, but the stand out of the night was the pumpkin fried rice!! When I heard about it, I wasn't sure what to expect, but the rice was crispy, bacon added a lot of flavor, and the pumpkin it came in was cooked perfectly! So delicious and filling - I would highly recommend getting that! The only thing about this experience overall is how S L O W the service was. They were friendly enough but what should have been a couple hour dinner quickly turned into a 4 hour one because it was so hard to get anyone's attention in there... Granted, I had great company to share that time with and it's nice they were open to having us keep that table for so long... but still, I don't think it should have taken that long to order, eat and pay especially when we were trying to close our tab. read more

The omakase was really good. I loved the nigiri choices and the combinations put together. The shiso leaf with the red snapper gave the fish a light taste. The shrimp heads were fried for the amaebi piece. I'm glad I didn't have to ask for it and it came automatically :). All of the pieces were perfect and fresh, except for the salmon. The salmon was great! However, There was just a little too much wasabi for me in this piece. My wife had the 10 piece, I had the 15 piece. The omakase took over 45 mins to get to us but I didn't mind the wait. Overall, the experience and food was delicious. We were given complimentary tempura assortment due to the long wait for our food. read more

I forget the exact occasion, but a good friend of mine took me out to dinner here about a year ago. In my search for tasty izakaya food in Seattle, Ginza probably came out highest, at a solid 3.5 stars. We ended up ordering the black cod (my baseline measurement for izakayas), pork belly, ground duck, and pumpkin fried rice. The black cod was nice and light, and certainly enjoyable, but lacked the flavor wow factor I usually look for in this dish. The pork belly was also pretty good, and would have been excellent if it actually had a bit more meat on it, as the extreme fat to meat ratio made it increasingly disgusting to eat with each bite - thinking back on this now, a bowl of rice would probably also have sufficed. The ground duck was just weird, and something I'd suggest passing on. The star of the bunch actually ended up being the pumpkin fried rice though, and this comes highly recommended. read more

We've walked by this little hole in the wall for over a year now as we live down the street. We've vowed to try it. Husband called in the order on Wednesday night and picked it up in 30 minutes. I've heard Pretty good things about their food but I have to say it was NOT worth the container it was packed in. We ordered California roll which was GOOD. Teriyaki chicken and gyoza. The chicken was way over cooked,DRY and flavorless. Like eating hard cardboard. The white rice was good. The little Salad nice touch and the gyoza had a Weird sauce and weird flavors- how hard are Dumplings and grilled chicken!??? We Will never go back. Ever. And I'm a very forgiving person. I guess if you are starving and it's the last place in old Town Bellevue to eat then have at it. But you have choices. I'd choose elsewhere. read more

I'm still a bit of a Sushi novice... but I've been spreading my wings and trying it out. My biggest fear is eating at a BAD sushi place... but that is what Yelp is for right?? So Ginza is rated pretty good on Yelp and a great friend of mine who is Japanese, actually from Japan, says this is her go to place to eat like she is in Japan. I didn't get too adventurous... I got a philly roll type thing, that had smoked salmon and cream cheese in it, a spicy tuna type roll and some other jalapeno tuna roll. We also started with the tempura. The tempura was the best I've ever had anywhere, and I try it a lot when I am out to teriyaki and the likes. It was very crisp, and not too oily. The tempura fish was excellent. I absolutely LOVED all the rolls, especially the philly one. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. Service was so friendly and quick. We went early, right when they opened on Friday night, and didn't have to wait. By the time we left they were packed. I have no idea where you'd park if you got here late because the lot is very small. Love Ginza! Next time I come pumpkin fried rice is on my list! read more

This is my Bellevue staple for Japanese food. Usually I come here for To go orders or with pops when he's in town. Tonight I had dinner here with little bro. It was t too busy for a Thursday and everyone was really attentive and nice We ordered Pumpkin fried rice- so much starch, not enough protein lil bro said. I mentioned the amount of fiber and carotene he's eating, he said it didn't help with his gains. Fried rice wasn't overly salty or greasy. Went well with the pumpkin but the amount of pumpkin to rice ratio was a bit higher. Not sure if I'd want to order this again. Super dragon roll- was like unagi overflow, I enjoyed it Kanihama, was the right size and amount of fish really enjoyed it Uni- yummy and creamy. lil bros first time so he was impressed with the flavor as well Red trio roll was probably my fav cuz of the crab and lobster in it, really added a tougher texture that I enjoy Reminded me of how much I loveeee seafood read more

I haven't had great service like this in a long time! It was my first time here and we were taking awhile to choose what we wanted. Multiple waiters came to check in to see if we were ready to order. Our waiter answered all the questions we had and made recommendations. At the end when we asked for our bill, it took a bit longer than usual for him to get it to us, so he gave us complimentary fruits as dessert! And right before we left, he asked if we needed a re-fill for our water before we left. I left the restaurant very impressed with the service! The food tasted great as well.

I came here for dinner on Saturday night around 7 PM and the place was half empty. The restaurant has a small parking lot in the back. Upon entering, we were readily seated. The menu items include typical choices of sushi, sashimi, and various noodles and pan fried dishes. The items range from $9 to $18, and are of mediocre quality. For example, the beef tongue we ordered consisted of four small slices that cost $9 and tasted more like rubber than meat. Since it's still winter, every time the door opens, a huge cold draft propagates throughout the restaurant. The main entrees took about 30 minutes to come out. Finally, I noticed that the table next to us left one plate of sushi untouched for whatever reason as they paid the bill and left. I overheard the manager quietly whisper to the waiter to bring it to the back, either to feed it to the staff or to serve it again later to other customers. Imagine what if the customers had some infectious disease? This is a huge health hazard. read more

Service was so-so (granted we were in a private-ish room and they were busy). Fish was fresh but I've had better at various places in Seattle. Not authentic (had things on the menu such as Seattle rolls). Clean and brightly lit; decor reminiscent of a small teriyaki shop. Not romantic at all, but great for a casual weekday dinner or a gathering with friends. In short: Good meal but not remarkable. read more

I like Fish. I love well cut fish... and that's the secret for me, for a great sushi; it's a well cut piece of fish. This place knows how to cut a fish right. I have been here many of time, this was me looking for sashimi. I was looking for something that was just the flavor if the sea, as fresh as possible, and as amazing as possible. I think on my plate was just a beautiful selection, as I asked for a variety and I got it. From fresh Tuna, to Salmon, each piece was a melt in your mouth delicious. I think the real draw for me, is the delicious varieties of fish, from the basics of salmon sashimi, to the rolls immense flavor combinations, and the pumpkin fried rice during the holidays, I'm not going to lie, this place is pretty awesome. Seriously, it's a true hidden joy in Bellevue. Am I going to be here again, yes, and after that? Yes, and after that? Yes. Does Yelp love this place? I think they do. read more

The combination rolls that I ordered were just okay, but I was extremely impressed with their chirashi! The portions of fish were extremely fresh, huge/thick (think cubes of fish), and bountiful. At about $25 for this, I thought it was an excellent deal. Also ordered the appetizer of deep fried soft shell crab, which was amazzzzing. Highly recommend :) read more

Excellent friendly service, tea and water is always filled up for yah. Food is very solid especially their pumpkin fried rice. Prices are definitely downtown Bellevue prices but the food and atmosphere are worth it. For what it's worth I went on a colder winter night and the upstairs area was a bit drafty and cold for some reason. My go to dish for Japanese restaurants the black cod kasuzuke was tasty but the portion was quite small. Guess I'll stick with the sushi and sashimi options next time. read more

This used to be one of my favorite places to get some descent Japanese food but something must've changed after they expanded the place. The ever popular pumpkin fried rice had uncooked seeds inside and was missing the flavor. It was just too greasy. The hot tea quality went down and lukewarm. I also ordered a few more dishes including sushi special but the quality of fish was acceptable. To be fair it has been a while since I visited the place last time so one can argue it has been always like this. Perhaps other places have really stepped up their games. It is unfortunate since I was super excited to have a meal with friends this evening. The service was fine. read more

For sure still a fan here.. The pumpkin fried rice is really delicious every time I get it and I haven't found another place that makes it.

In addition to the pumpkin fried rice, I ordered chirashi and I fully enjoyed it. read more

Haven't been back for awhile so decided to invite another family to go for dinner. We ordered chicken kaarage, friend oysters, halibut collar, black cod, tempura shrimps, Yaki undo with beef and veggies, Nigiris and some sushi rolls. We weren't very please with much of our order made from the kitchen. The black cod was a huge disappointment, it's way too salty and we couldn't finish it. The yaki udon, I don't know what kind noodle they use but I'm sure it's not udon noodle because it's a lot thinner than the usual udon. I would go back for their sushi but not their kitchen food. read more
