It pains me to write this, because I know once everyone reads about my experience... they won't stop going to my favorite place in New Bern!! Where can I start, the food never and I mean never disappoints. It's yummy it's flavors coat your mouth with deliciousness. Appetizer to Entree, the word "good" does an injustice to this place. The service is always prompt, attentive and I'm never left slurping at a cup. Is this a "hole in the wall" no, it's more like New Bern's best kept secret. Do yourself a favor and me a disservice by making this a regular spot for you and your ENTIRE family! read more

We so enjoyed our dinner at Ginza Japan - the service was excellent and the dinner was delicious! We highly recommend Ginza Japan!!

Four of us around 430 on a Saturday. This is a good time to come here. We got Nigri and sashimi sushi. Very excellent preparation. The rice was perfect in taste and amount. See photos. Next she got katsu don which was indeed a pork cutlet fried in panko with some bulldog sauce on the side. But that's not katsu don. We were expecting the onion and egg mixture on top of of the pork cutlet in a bowl of rice. Also got calamari which was super good. Service was very good. Don't forget if you get sushi tip the sushi chef. The sushi here is five stars all day. read more

Food is always great. Cute little place that you can sit and eat at. Service is great as well.

1000% recommend. Well priced and EXTREMELY DELICIOUS. The service was really good too, our waiter was very helpful and constantly checking in on us. They have a lot of options, which made it hard to decide, but that just means we get to come back and try even more! The calamari was so good we ate it before I could even take a photo, along with there ginger salad. Definitely recommend if you want great service, good prices and delicious Japanese and sea food. read more

Pleasantly surprised. We brought my daughter here to celebrate her recent High School graduation, as she wanted something casual and loves sushi. We were greeted by a warm upbeat server. They had a variety of Japanese soda ( we tried the blue one) but no beer.. They do have a BYOB policy though.. Food was fresh and decent. Pricing was reasonable and we had an overall pleasant experience. We had Salmon , Dragon rolls, miso soup and a varied sushi platter. Will come back and try something new. read more

You must try this outstanding restaurant if you love Japanese sushi. We will be back. read more

First time dining here. I was impressed, they had a solid menu of unique rolls. I tried several and 2 apps. Spicy Crab Salad Tuna Nuggets Fantastic Roll Angry Dragon Roll Tuna Hand Roll Crab Crunch Roll +spicy mayo The crab salad was exceptional. The tuna nuggets (No rice) were also excellent. When in New Bern again, this will be on the repeat list. read more

Upon entering Ginza you are greeted by a friendly staff and comfortable atmosphere. During the lunch rush, you are able to seat yourself. The positive: Nice staff, quaint environment. Great lunch specials & pricing! Great miso soup. The negative: My experience with three different rolls was average. The Alaskan roll, Salmon & Cucumber, and Spicy Tuna. Having consumed sushi from hundreds of places from around the world, this would unfortunately not be my "go to" place in the area. Overall I would come back to try their other food options, but would go elsewhere for sushi. read more

We love this place for its yummy food. Unfortunately, tonight, I ordered my filet medium.....and it came out WELL! Very tough. We were seated adjacent to the dish cart. Just not good. Plus... it had rusty wheels and didn't smell the best. The ladies room needs an upgrade for sure....and what ever happened to the amazing light-up things that came on our dinners? It was SO much fun with the beautiful light-up presentations!!!!! read more

Lunch best buys 3 rolls for $1099 bento box {try the pork Katsu} or sashimi lunch all well prepared. my secret item is hamachi kama great hot green tea but no Soporra or saki i dont do american "fancy" rolls mostly sashimi they offer fresh fish in a pleasing araingment read more

Ginza has been amazing everytime I go. The staff are usually very friendly and can recognize my repeat order and usually get it started before I have a chance to order. The food is amazing, I always get the tuna rolls and their chicken fried rice is so good. Their homemade ranch dressing is also delicious. read more

Charged more than the menu price listed, chicken hibachi was rubber chicken in texture.

Excellent sushi and sashimi the service was fast and staff kept checking to make sure we were satisfied and had plenty to eat and drink! Highly recommended! read more

Ginza Japan - Sushi and sashimi lunch special! - Japanese Near Me - New Bern, North Carolina

Highly recommended!! Little place that's probably not well advertised, but apparently the locals know about them. Here on a business trip, eaten here several times. Granted initial trip in, miscommunication on how the ordering worked, it's a seat yourself place. If you stand and wait to be seated, they take your order to go. Anyways I got it figured out. After eating my to go order there, really surprised on how good it was. I got the steak and shrimp hibachi, steak was super tender and shrimp were peeled all the way back to just the very end. I've never seen that without the tail just being completely removed. Cane back for sushi another night and Steak and shrimp another time. I'm sure I'll be back some more!! read more

Over the last two years my family and I have dined here on multiple occasions. Our parties have ranged from two all the way to 12. They are accommodating as we just called ahead when we had larger parties and made a reservation. My family has tried so many of their sushi options, but our favs are the pepper tuna and the yellowtail jalapeño apps, Spicy Girl Roll, Angel Roll, and the Naruto Roll. Our kids are fans of the bento boxes and the fried rice. The prices are fair and the service has always been kind and quick. We brought our own sake and they brought out sake sets for our party. Also, will keep your beer cold if you bring some! We have never had a problem and will keep recommending. read more

This has been my go-to for the past few months. It's consistent quality, fairly priced items and positive service have made it too easy to pop in when I'm making my normal grocery run. I've ordered a fair bit off the menu but the best bang for your buck are the lunch specials. My favorite by far is the maki sushi lunch combo. Three rolls for $11 is kind of amazing. The servers are always friendly and seem to be patient with restaurant goers who may not be decisive with their ordering. I also appreciate how clean and orderly they've kept the restaurant throughout the pandemic. Certainly a place to check out if you're in the area, particularly at lunch. read more

Hands down my favorite sushi place in New Bern. Been coming here for years. My children love their sushi and so do I. Their hot tea is spectacular. The service is always kind. And the tempura cheesecake is out of this world delicious. Definitely give it a try. read more

Not fresh materials in roll, tasted stale almost, tried the rock roll, lobster roll, and tuna nuggets. Didn't finish any of them. Only given a tiny portion of masago. Fish tank by sushi bar was sick and covered in algae. Staff was nice. Wasabi and ginger was rank!! read more

Love it. My go to once a month. Always have had very good dinners. Service is excellent. I like the cosy atmosphere.

Came here on a whim date night with my boyfriend and it couldn't have gone any better! The sushi was AMAZING! They make it right in front of you and the pricing isn't bad at all!! Service was fantastic! We will definitely be coming back again! read more

My chicken and steak tasted like rubber. My husbands sushi was as you would expect for the price.

We got the love boat and hibachi chicken/veg. Everything was excellent! It's now our go-to place for sushi and hibachi.

I really liked their sushi!! Sushi boat was more than enough for two people. Definitely recommend to have sushi at this restaurant when you're around New Bern. read more

Very friendly staff and we got our food so quickly! Nice interior as well. We will be returning!

If you're in the area and want sushi, this is where you want to go! We stayed in Newport, and travelled around the area looking for good sushi. We ran into a few places that weren't too bad, but decided to try this even though it was a little further away. Prices are good and the sushi was incredibly satisfying. Our waitress was very polite and the atmosphere in the restaurant was fine. This has turned into a destination place each time we make it to the beach! read more

This place delivers delicious Japanese cuisine at a great price! I had the steak hibachi and my girlfriend had sushi. The food tasted delicious, the presentation was excellent, and even the Miso soup had big flavor! If you're in the area you have to stop by! read more

We took our order to go. The space inside is small and dark. There were five of us and not a single one liked their food. There was no way that was a filet in my hibachi unless someone really does not know how to prepare it. It was tough and chewy. The miso soup had a very strange flavor. Will not order from there again. read more

This is a great Japanese restaurant, they make the best sushi alot of choices. They have the best rock shrimp in town and the sweet tea is to die for. One of my family's favorite places to eat. The wait staff is superb! read more

Sushi, appetizers, soup, salad, hibachi, bento boxes, dessert - ALL WONDERFUL! We've dined in - service was excellent. We've ordered take out - it's always ready when we arrive. Consistently great food. read more

I do not recommend the clear soup or the fried rice. Both could not be blander. The clear soup looked like dirty dish water and tasted like someone took a pot of water and put a dash of soy sauce in it. Clear soup is supposed to have an umami flavor with hints of vegetables, stock and ginger. Although the soup is clear, there is a lot of depth if done right. This by far is the worse soup I've ever had of any kind. I've made this many times, and it takes skill to make this soup. I encourage management to taste and do quality checks for all your food because - the fried rice was a waste as well. Went into the garbage because if I'm going to eat carbs, I want it to count. The same person that made the soup probably made the fried rice. White rice with a dash of soy sauce. Japanese food is so much more than that. read more

We were happy to find Japanese food, as we live in a rural area and don't often get the chance for it. But the food we had was awful. The clear soup was dreadful--my husband thinks it might have been made with chlorinated water, which overwhelmed the delicate flavors. The fried rice (not sure why a Japanese restaurant offers this) was dry and tasteless. We both ordered the seafood tempura, and didn't mind paying more than for shrimp tempura, because it was supposed to include crab and scallops. The scallops were simply missing, and the "crab" was fake. We would have been much better off if we'd just ordered shrimp tempura. All in all, a very disappointing meal. read more
