Top...Crazy Friday Roll Spicy tuna and spicy salmon rolls..
Sajeel A.

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.

Sushi and sashimi lunch special
Morgan L.

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!

Suzuki Nigiri & Hotate
James M.

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

Angry Dragon Roll
Jason G.

The best sushi in the area! Easy going and comfortable setting. Service is always good. Never have had a bad meal here!

Seaweed salad
Ana B.

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.

Crazy Friday Roll
Kristine L.

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.

Grilled salmon and rice
Jennifer M.

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.

Chicken teriyaki
Renee A.

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!

look at the size of the peppered tuna! I didn't see or taste eel or avocado, but it was tasty.
Jennifer A.

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.

Basil Chicken
Sana G.

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.

I genuinely don't understand how this place isn't packed. I've been here twice now and the food has…read morebeen incredible both times. I got the filet mignon and chicken hibachi with fried rice, noodles, vegetables and shrimp, plus the teriyaki steak appetizer. I also swapped the salad for a second clear soup because the soup is THAT good. The filet is unbelievable. Extremely tender, perfectly cooked, and easily some of the best steak I've had at a hibachi restaurant. The chicken and shrimp were excellent, the fried rice and noodles were fantastic, and even the vegetables were cooked perfectly. The teriyaki steak appetizer is also absolutely worth getting. I've genuinely yet to have a single thing here that wasn't excellent. Portions are huge, the presentation is great, and the service has been ridiculously fast. My first visit I had two soups, an appetizer, and my entire entrée and was paying the bill within about 30-40 minutes. It was basically the perfect sit-down lunch: much better food than grabbing fast food, without turning lunch into a two-hour event. The restaurant itself has a really nice, relaxed atmosphere, and they also have the traditional hibachi tables if you want the full tableside experience. Came back again only 10 days after my first visit and ordered the exact same meal. That probably says more than anything else I could write. Easy 5/5. This place deserves way more attention.

Great food and great portion for the price. The service was quick, though maybe too quick, as we…read morehadn't looked at the menu when the server came back to ask what we wanted. The location is always beautiful and clean. We felt a little rushed at dinner though, as our check came before we even finished or slowed down our eating and the server had already brought us boxes. Maybe their shift was ending or they wanted a break, but this meant as we kept eating we got no more water filled, too. Just something to keep in mind, even if just one person at the table is still eating.

Great service, great ramen, overall great experience…read more Attempted to come to this place a few times before. Eash time, there was a significant wait so we tried someplace else. This time, we made a small trek during a slow time and managed to get quick seating. Inside is nice but a small location, about 20 tables and even with the off time most of them were filled. We sat and immediately were brought waters and dishes. The team is designed to be a brigade, with everyone participating in the service. This led to very quick service and easy access to a server. We got two ramens and a dumplings to share. The food took a couple minutes but we quickly had dumplings and soup and we took our pics and dug in. The dumplings were freshly made, loose but flavorful filling with a pool of sauce on the bottom for dipping. The wrapper was delightfully thin and the garnishes added little pops of texture and flavor which changed the flavor profile of the filling. Those were very good dumplings I got a truffle shoyu ramen. The noodles were freshly made, springy and a little chewy but a great sauce vessel. the toppings were plentiful, the shoyu pork wasn't the most tender but the pieces were nicely charred and sauces to be distinct in the dish. The broth started off as straight seafood broth, lots of briny umami but little depth. Once I mixed the truffle scoop in, the flavor really bloomed. Now the broth had an earthy, mellow base note which made the broth a surf and turf umami bomb. It was very tasty, and the best ramen I've had in ct. Price is not bad, $55 for two bowls, add on wontons for the missus's soup and the appetizer. For the quality, the price is really good for what you get. It's easy to understand why this place is as busy as it gets. It's a great ramen shop and worth the trek to try. Delicious ramen done well and fast.

Came here for lunch on a weekend and the place was moderately busy, but plenty of open tables…read more Ambiance felt like a modern Japanese spot. Staff seated us quickly and were solid with service - orders were taken fast and food came out in a reasonable amount of time. Menu had a good selection of ramen and poke, what seems like their specialty, and we both got ramen. The broth was fine and taste was decent, nothing amazing but a solid spot for ramen in Connecticut. It satisfied the craving for sure! I wouldn't mind coming back if in the area again, but would probably stick to ramen just for comfort.

I…read moredon't live near the center of Newington so I was unaware that Mom and Pop's existed (and has for about four years, apparently - oops!). Once again, Yelp to the rescue. I was confused when I first checked the menu options on the website because literally every choice said 'unavailable.' To be fair, it was 10:42AM and they open at 11. However, this remained the case until closer to noon, at which point I was able to build my own bowl. Picking two proteins was easy but they don't really make it clear how many mix-ins and toppings you can have, so I probably shorted myself. Ultimately I chose salmon and tuna with white rice, carrots, cilantro, pickled ginger, and green onions. After placing my order I waited for the promised email, which never came. Finally, after about 20 min, I saw that my order was 'complete' and headed over, miraculously scoring a parking spot right in front. Once inside it was more confusion as there is no dedicated pickup area, Mom was in her own prep and chop mode, and Pop was focused solely on walk-in orders. But after managing to catch his attention I was on my merry way, with a somewhat underwhelming poke bowl, ONE napkin, and the offer of chopsticks (which I declined). A takeout bag would've been appreciated but was not provided. Back at home I surveyed the bowl before digging in. Everything was accounted for and the fish was good. The rice tasted like yesterday's leftovers, though, and I've never been served cilantro stems instead of leaves. Again, the bowl was fine; not the best poke I've ever had, but I'd be willing to give them a second chance and perhaps choose some different or additional fixings next time.

They don't have their own restrooms; it is in the building (go down the stairs, then to the left under the stairs). They have AYCE and regular menu items. We came for AYCE, which you can order 3 rounds of, so make sure you order enough (but not too much, because you are charged for excessive leftovers). We only needed to order 2 rounds. They can get pretty busy, so it may take a bit to get your order, but they are good at making sure you get your whole order. The service is friendly as well. We ordered a large variety. The Age Tofu was pretty good as a general consensus, though most of the fried stuff was a bit too oily. The Kani Salad was pretty good (their spicy mayo is tasty). The fish is decent quality and fresh. Most of the sushi didn't have too much rice, which I liked. The rice held together well. Still, I prefered the "tataki" (sashimi with ponzu) over the sushi. I do wish they had a regular scallop sushi, as the spicy scallop sushi is a small piece of scallop with lots of spicy mayo and rice. The special rolls (we got Fancy Tuna, Enter the Dragon, Mango Tango and Spider Roll) are pretty heavy, as most of the flavor is from the sauces. You can order things without the dressing or sauces (see the house salad without dressing....yes, it's just lettuce lol) Make sure to save room for ice cream! They have Vanilla, Green Tea (Matcha), Strawberry, and Fried (Vanilla). The Green Tea is a really strong matcha, which I love! For $28/weekend adult pricing, it's a pretty good deal. Just make sure you leave time to sit and wait.
