Went here with my kids on a lazy Saturday afternoon...when none of us knew what we wanted. The hostess was very kind and helped us decide whilst ensuring we didn't order too much. Will certainly visit again!
Not bad, but far from great My memories of this location were much better than the last dining experience. I recall expertly crafted sushi, with correct preparation, flavors, and freshness. As time has gone by, the standards have waned and the menu has taken a turn towards the mass adaptation route. The servers were friendly, the inside dining space is nice, and the sushi rolls and sauces have their own distinct flavor profiles and textures. However, the sushi rice wasn't seasoned, wasn't the correct grain of rice, and none of the attention to detail steps were followed for their sushi pieces. It's heavily westernized sushi, which is fine if that's what one expects. But to me, it's a far cry from what they use to be. The Takoyaki, the octopus was overcooked. The peppered tuna tataki was good but needed more sauce, paradise and springtime roll were surprisingly spicy but the stars of the show were the sauces. The fish was very lost in each one. The seasonex edamame were garlicky but tasty. The best bite out if all of them. As a sushi joint, it's perfectly fine sushi. Load up on spicy mayo and soy sauce and drench your rolls and you'll do just fine.
Ginza has been around for a long time for a reason. The food is consistently great, the service is always friendly, and the ambiance is casual enough for a quick lunch, but pretty enough for a date. The fish is always fresh, well prepared, and thoughtfully presented. Most recently I ordered a sushi and sashimi combo that also includes a spicy tuna avocado roll off the lunch menu and it was perfect. It was a really generous portion for a great price. Really you can't go wrong here!
Traveling through Wethersfield I decided to give Ginza a try. I was greeted by an inviting space and staff, unfortunately the sushi bar was not open this evening but I had no problem being seated at a table immediately. A fairly baseline sushi restaurant menu is offered with the acceptation of seasonal specials including Uni, Toro and Amaebi "which was the only special in stock this evening." Ordered the Yellowtail Jalapeño, Sashimi Dinner, 2 orders of Amaebi Sashimi, 1 Scallop Sashimi, 1 Ikura sushi, 1 Suzuki nigiri and hot tea. The Yellowtail was tasty but also lacking proper structure and texture as can be seen in photo. The Amaebi were prepared well and of good size. The Sashimi dinner came with 18 pieces of very fresh wonderfully textured and properly portioned sashimi slices Including, Akami Tuna, Yellowtail, Spanish Mackerel, Salmon, Madai and Hirame. Along with Miso or house salad and a sizable portion of sushi rice which was perfectly moist and sticky with a semi garnish. The Ikura and Suzuki sushi showcased the flavor and textures or the sushi rice and flavor of the nori wonderfully. Certainly not the largest or most elegantly prepared scallop I have ever had, it was still fresh. Real grated wasabi root mixed into the "wasabi" was a nice indicator there is some attention payed to the quality of the ingredients they are using. Overall a very pleasant experience at Ginza, good casual sushi dining, friendly staff, clean environment offering good quality ingredients 6.7/10
The best sushi in the area! Easy going and comfortable setting. Service is always good. Never have had a bad meal here!
On Mother's Day, my mom and I went to Ginza for sushi. This was a last minute decision, as we initially planned to go to Doro, which is located in the same plaza. It wasn't very busy here at all, which usually isn't a good sign, but I knew this sushi would be good, since I've previously had the sushi at their Bloomfield location, which is unfortunately permanently closed. The waitress was very attentive, she immediately brought us waters and the menu. I got the Spicy Salmon Roll, mom got two tuna rolls. We also got seaweed salad. This sushi is super fresh! It is flavorful, fresh and tasty! Same goes for the seaweed salad! Upon checking in on Yelp, I was presented with a 10% coupon. We both enjoyed our sushi! I will be returning to this Ginza in the future.
I didn't feel like going anywhere after a long day of work meetings and I wanted sushi so I found this spot through DoorDash and reviews were decent. I got the sashimi sampler and Crazy Friday roll. Both were pretty good. Wasn't the best quality of fish I had but I also had to remember this was in Hartford. I enjoyed the roll tho, it had a lychee miso sauce which tasted really good and I liked the peppered tuna on top. Everything was packaged well. I asked for yuzu sauce and eel sauce on the side but I was very unhappy to see that they upcharged like $2 for a teeny tiny container. Overall not bad sushi option for the area.
Very disappointing! 4 of us ate here for lunch based on the rave reviews and 1 of my colleagues got his lunch 15 minutes before the rest of us. Strange. We were the only customers in the restaurant. When the other 3 of us finally got our lunch, it was cold. Service was good but when I told her my chicken is cold she said "oh do u want me to heat it up?" What? Very disappointed and I didn't even eat the veggies or chicken. I just ate the noodles. I am assuming they do a great take out business earning those rave reviews. It looked so good when it hit the table but too bad it was cold.
Nice solid place to get good food. Staff is always friendly, helpful and attentive. I got ginger chicken with large pieces of chicken and lots of vegetables! It was delicious! My kid got teriyaki chicken and enjoyed it. My DH got the American sushi plate and enjoyed that too! I forgot to add we got the seasoned edamame. It was mildly spicy and super tasty!
I have been wanting to try this place & I didn't know the Bloomfield location had closed. I happened across the wethersfield location & walked in at 3:30 during their daily shutdown (230 - 430), but he let me order take-out. So, this is a 1st, I'm doing a review from my car. I started with the Angel Roll. It seemed to be missing some ingredients (avacado & eel), and the rice smelled very starchy. They may have had to improvise w/ a white rice vs Sushi rice, which affected the texture and taste a bit. It was a decent roll & had a very slight spicyness to it. Then I tried the Ginzal Roll. The texture was better, and on this one, they used the correct rice. At 1st, because of the improved texture, I thought I preferred this roll, but I found myself missing the slight kick of the pepper from the Angel Roll. It was not the best sushi i have ever had, but it wasn't terrible either. I would give it a sold B to B-. I would not avoid this resteraunt & i would eat there again if invited. On the ambiance, the outside appearance might detur people as the sigh is run down & the door is not washed, but the interior was cute & the bathroom was clean. They even had a false tree in there that added to the charm. The lighting was perfect and the music was modern but not too loud like some places where you can't hear yourself think. Overall, I would rate this a B.
I stopped by here on my way to a concert after the restaurant I originally planned to visit was closed. The service was fantastic, our server was so nice and our food arrived very quickly. However, the food itself varied from dish to dish. The chicken tempura roll was very good, as was the miso soup that came with my entree. However, the Haru Maki (fried spring rolls) dish was very bland and tasted frozen. Furthermore, I was super excited for the Basil Chicken but unfortunately the dish was extremely salty and I couldn't finish it or take it home. There were actual basil leaves but I couldn't get the flavor over the cloying salt and soy sauce. My big takeaway, however, is that the plain white rice was incredible, it has the perfect consistency and flavor and I kept taking bites of the rice even when the actual entree became too much.

Great restaurant! The portions are so big, it's served really nicely and the staff was fast, attentive and overall wonderful! Would definitely come back. The fire roll and shrimp tempura rolls were really good read more
The service is awesome, it's a nice quiet dinner place. We had rolls this evening. I don't usually do rolls. I also grabbed some Tabiko and Ikura. My husband wanted rolls and I decided to follow suit. He also ordered some steak fried rice(It was delicious, still thinking about it). The spider roll was great. The Sashimi roll however was a disappointment. For both of us we felt there was just too much sauce. We couldn't really taste the individual fishes. Maybe someone might like that, it's just not for us. We'd return, but I'll stick with straight up sushi and sashimi. read more
Their sushi is one of the best we have tasted. So we decided to go here for an early dinner as we were shopping in the area. Seated right away and our orders taken quickly. Our server was very friendly and attentive. Appetizers came out quickly and our entrees followed. The takoyaki was good with a little spicy kick to it. We tried the taco (octopus) salad and enjoyed the tartness of it. One dish we ordered was the Hibachi steak and scallops that was more like a meal with the noodles, fried rice and vegetables. Noodles were a little bland until I mixed it with the sauce covering the steak. Noticed that the scallops aren't the same size which would have been nice, but they tasted great. Took a photo of the dessert menu thinking we would get some dessert but between the appetizers and entrees we were full. read more

3.5 Ordered a couple of rolls for delivery. Taste was decent but the rolls were not very firm and the specialty rolls were on the soggy side probably from sitting around too long. Best to eat them right away. Delivery is probably not the best way to enjoy them. I had the angry dragon, special vegetable, shrimp tempura, cucumber avocado, and spicy maki combo. The spicy maki combo consists of spicy salmon, spicy tuna, and Californian roll with spicy mayo on top along with miso soup. The specialty rolls were expensive. They were not bad but I didn't think it was worth the price. I enjoyed the basic rolls more. The spicy tuna and spicy salmon has fillers which gets dry after a while. read more

So back in the day, I would have eaten inside Ginza and my combo lunch probably would have come in an artful Bento box display. Ginza doesn't offer inside dining right now, although that seems to be forthcoming. But what was lost in aesthetics, was seemingly offset by an increase in the quantity of what a Bento box can offer. Ordering through Ginza's website was easy. You pay online, they give you a window of time and they text you when your order is ready. Pick-up is just inside the door. My combo meal included Ginger Chicken, consisting of lightly breaded, meaty chicken pieces; tender, but crisp vegetables like broccoli, red bell, snow peas, baby corn and red onions; and a slightly sweet brown ginger sauce. It was very tasty and even better than I was expecting. My meal also included satisfying Hibachi style fried rice, studded with chopped carrots, egg and peas. The accompanying spicy tuna rolls tasted how I expect, but I noticed concentrated areas of deep red in the filling, suggesting that the rolls contained more tuna than some places use. My meal also came with a house salad and what I think was a Japanese-style ginger dressing. My lunch was great and there are enough leftovers to highlight a second meal. I'm happy as usual with Ginza, where we often get things like Hibachi dinners and assorted sushi rolls. read more

My lover and I decided to stop at this joint prior to our shopping spree before we go away abroad together. Sometimes a change of routine is all we need to bring the passion back to our dead bedroom. I do what I can though and with a vacation on the horizon, a shopping spree in the calendar, dinner AND dessert was a must! Gotta fill her up to slow her down if you catch my drift! And let me tell you, this place is the only thing that was kind to my wallet tonight. Speaking of catch, the sushi was decadently fresh. I had the spicy salmon roll and my honey had the shrimp tempura roll, im the only one who likes it raw between the two of us. We started with the shrimp summer roll, pretty standard, no complaints. The peanut sauce that came alongside it was dripping all over my fingers, I couldn't get enough! PACKED with cilantro - fresh choice! Felt like a garden in my mouth. Inspired us to sow some seeds. Now, after a dinner of laughter, an attentive waitress, thick napkins, and fresh ice water all my sweets and I needed was something S-W-E-E-T! So we split the fried ice cream. Warm, crisp, sweet, tempura ever embracing a rich, custard like vanilla ice cream, with a heaping serving of probably canned whipped cream surely satisfied my sugar bears sweet tooth, mine alike. Now, my honey and I were out in a public restaurant seated right in front of the sushi making bar so we had to keep it relatively PG. One spoon per mouth. Given this, my only complaint is that our dessert came with one (1) maraschino cherry. Me, being the chivalrous lover that I am and my honey not wanting to appear gluttonous; did not pop the cherry. Overall, excellent service, excellent food, and an excellent night out. Thank you Ginza! read more

My local go-to sushi spot for quality, fresh sushi. It may not be all you can eat but that's evident by the Quality right away. I've never been disappointed with any meal or roll i've ordered. Staff has always been prompt, friendly and professional. I have never eaten inside but have been inside and the restaurant looks very clean and updated. read more

First time trying Ginza after hearing good things from friends. We wanted sushi for lunch and decided it was the perfect reason to try Ginza! They have a two roll special for $11 that includes soup or salad. That's typical price for any sushi lunch special. We ordered Spicy Tuna, Spicy Kani, Shrimp Tempora, and Spicy Yellowtail. All of our sushi rolls were incredible and very fresh! I wasn't crazy about their ginger dressing though. The food was packed well and safety for takeout. Can't wait to try here again when we can dine-in! read more
