Ginza has been my spot for over 20 years, and it still feels like home every time I walk in. As a teenager, my friends and I used to come here for our little "date nights," and all these years later, the food still hits just like the old days. What makes Ginza so special isn't just the food (though trust me, it's always fresh, flavorful, and affordable) -- it's the people. The staff has always treated me like family, and I've had the privilege of watching them push through tough times, even surviving COVID without ever losing their heart or raising prices unfairly. That kind of dedication is rare. On my most recent visit, everything was delicious as always, and I was pleasantly surprised to find out they now serve Boba Tea! My server made me one to try, and it was the perfect touch to an already amazing meal. Ginza will always be one of my favorite staples in Baltimore -- a true gem that has stood the test of time. If you want great food, genuine people, and a place that feels like family, this is it. read more

Not at all what I remember. And that's sad. It has been year since the family has been here - and now we may never return. We went for the sushi. Let me say their sushi was not fresh and flavorless, but it was rice heavy and had a foul taste. We sat in"the sushi room", which resembles a sterile school cafeteria, about 7 tables. We were given soups that tasted like chicken broth and also a complimentary plate of California Roll (to fill us up). Not good. At all. When our sushi arrived, it was so full of rice. The fish wasn't fresh. The flavors didn't work together. Just not good. At all. The server was OK. Between his mid- hallway vaping and sweating on our table, to his dropping the. Heck off before our food was delivered, it was a serious disappointment. I wanted this to be the Gonzales of old. Maybe the hibachi is better but DO NOT GO HERE FOR SUSHI! read more

On a Friday evening we decided we wanted to catch some flying food in our mouths. We arrived around the 7/8 O'clock hour and there was one party leaving and another seated in the sushi bar area. I couldn't believe how large this restaurant was with several different areas. I imagined it would be a lively/loud environment but it was quite the opposite. Our chef was friendly and the staff kind/welcoming. The food was good albeit not the best I've ever had. I ordered the steak, scallops, and shrimp combo and tried a Japanese beer. There was way too many onions in the rice for my liking. I was hoping for a peanut based salad dressing but theirs was more of mayonnaise based. The miso was "heavy/fatty" and tasted like a rich flavored bone/chicken broth. I was hoping it would be light to taste/refreshing. Our tossed selection was zucchini (hoping for a protein) and a complimentary sake soak down. lol. I would likely return if we wanted another quiet private chef experience:) I wish this business much success. read more

We had a great time at Ginza! We were celebrating October birthdays and we all laughed and enjoyed ourselves so much! The waitress was very attentive and the chef was super fun and made the food taste great! The inside of the restaurant is so beautiful! This place is perfect for a party or to celebrate any win- it would also be great for a first date or for a group of friends! I love coming here and am glad there is still a hibachi option close to me! read more

Nice decor. Very spacious. Service was quick and friendly. It was only our party and another when we first arrived. As we were leaving another party came. Unfortunately they had a kid who was being carried in screaming and was not happy to be there. Glad we were done. Food was okay. I asked for medium rare but food was cooked well done. To be fair, the meat was mixed with two other people that had varying preference for how cooked they like their meet. But really came here for the entertainment and food which did not disappoint read more

So good We really enjoy eating their food; it's delicious, affordable, and the service is also good.

I've tried several sushi spots in Owings Mills, and Ginza is by far my favorite. The shrimp tempura and salmon sushi are incredibly delicious, and the service is excellent. The Tea Top boba served in the bar area is out of this world. With games and cards to play, it's the perfect place to hang out with friends or get some schoolwork done in a relaxed setting. Highly recommend! read more

Ginza is a delightful discovery for anyone craving authentic Japanese cuisine at an unbeatable value. Nestled in an unassuming location, Ginza offers a nostalgic journey back to the traditional Japanese eateries of old. The décor, reminiscent of a classic Japanese setting, transports you to another time and place. Despite its dated appearance, don't be misled by the vintage style--the establishment is impeccably clean, maintaining a cozy and inviting ambiance. From the moment you step inside, the staff at Ginza welcomes you with open arms, exuding warmth and eagerness to serve. Their attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction are evident, making every dining experience special. Our visit was primarily for the sushi, prompted by my quest for a genuine all-you-can-eat (AYCE) sushi buffet. Ginza splendidly meets this need with their AYCE sushi option, priced at an astonishing $17.95. Unlike typical buffets, Ginza serves sushi fresh to order from a menu. This method ensures each piece arrives at your table pristine and freshly made, enhancing the flavors and overall dining experience while reducing food waste--a thoughtful touch. The menu prices are generally very reasonable, with even their hibachi/teppanyaki offerings at just $25. It's hard to pinpoint any drawbacks at Ginza, unless one prefers ultra-modern interiors or formal service attire. The only minor hiccup was a slight inconsistency with the sushi preparations due to different chefs, which led to unexpected extras in our order--not that we were complaining in an AYCE setting! While the AYCE menu excludes certain items like nigiri and combo entrees, these are understandable omissions and can still be ordered à la carte if desired. We visited during a quieter time, which meant some ingredients were unavailable, but the staff's proactive approach in offering alternatives ensured our experience was not diminished. The quality of the food at Ginza is truly exceptional. The meal commenced with a delightful noodle broth and a fresh green salad dressed in a tantalizing yum-yum sauce, setting a high standard for what was to follow. The sushi, particularly the salmon nigiri, was a standout, melting tenderly in the mouth. The dragon roll was equally impressive, featuring a harmonious blend of salmon, tuna, and avocado. Additionally, the tempura shrimp in the Maryland roll was freshly prepared, providing a perfect crunch that complemented the succulent fish. The attentive service at Ginza is worth noting. Staff members were consistently friendly and responsive, ensuring we were well cared for without being intrusive--a fine balance that they mastered gracefully. Exciting Side Note: Ginza also offers a unique catering experience called "Backyard Hibachi," which I am eagerly looking forward to trying at my next birthday celebration. This service promises to bring the excitement and flavors of teppanyaki right to your home, making for an unforgettable event. Final Thoughts: Ginza is more than just a restaurant; it's a portal to traditional Japanese hospitality and culinary excellence. It has proudly stood for over 20 years, offering a tranquil escape from the bustling modern eateries. Here, priority is given to quality ingredients and guest experience over contemporary aesthetics. For those in search of superb sushi, friendly service, and a serene atmosphere, Ginza is a must-visit. It might not cater to seekers of cutting-edge design, but if your focus is on enjoying exceptional food in a comfortable setting, Ginza promises a memorable experience. 5/11 Tonight we swung by to try their Teppanyaki experience, and it didn't disappoint. We went for the Filet Mignon Teppanyaki, a steal at $20, and it was a good-sized portion. The meat was cooked perfectly--juicy and tender, although not quite at the level of the priciest filet I've ever had. The veggies were cooked just right. Unlike some other Japanese places that overload you with rice and veggies, Ginza got the balance. I also discovered their Tatami room, which got me excited to bring a group. Dietary restrictions: They were very attentive to my spouse's onion allergy and knew every ingredient. Most places if we asked if something had onion, it becomes a 30 minute ordeal of waiter, to manager, to chef, who then all come to the table to help figure food out (which is nice). It was refreshing though to ask if something had onion in it, and with only a thought the person was able to answer us. Kid-friendliness: While we were eating, there was a birthday party going on next door. After a moment one of the workers and a couple kids came around the corner and he blew up a couple of inflatable balloons for them. Although from where we sat they looked more like inflatable kid sized neck pillows. Either way, very kid friendly. read more

Ginza has fantastic sushi and affordable hibachi. I've never eaten in person, but the food is very worth the price.

We have had new hibachi restaurants open, but Ginza is superior! The items are flavorful and the staff are friendly! Service is top notch & you will leave with leftovers. Love the filet and shrimp with a side of noodles! read more

FOOD WAS TERRIBLE!!!!! Wrong order came, never get the chicken teriyaki it is false advertisement and probably the worst meal I've had.

The food, the friendly atmosphere, and the service are amazing! The restaurant looks unassuming on the outside, but on the inside, it is large and expansive. The food is prepared for you in a professional and entertaining fashion. There is also a full bar, availability of sushi, and karaoke. The owners are very accommodating and aim to please. We were a large group, and we sang in the karaoke room after dinner. If you are organizing a large dinner party, don't sleep on Ginza! read more

Great sushi and friendly service! Sashimi was fresh and hibachi was excellent. Look forward to returning :)

This restaurant is located in a plaza on Reisterstown rd. There is plenty of parking and you're surrounded by other stores in case you need to run errands. We ordered hibachi. The cooking of the food is always fun to watch but i think our guy just needed the day off. The soup was akin to the taste of warm bath water with epson salt. Their yum yum sauce is white and taste like melted mayonnaise. If you've had great yum yum, it's almost orange in color. The ginger sauce tasted like soy sauce. Not a hint of ginger. The food was tasteless. I could have had a V8. The fried rice was crunchy. The veggies, rice and shrimp had no seasoning. My glass of water was excellent; I'm not being funny. I've had bad tap water but their water must be filtered. As a water lover. I appreciated that. The staff (from the host to the server) lacked warmth. It is my intent to never return. read more

Went on a whim, had no expectations, and was somehow still let down. Place is kinda weird, dark, dusty, old, and smells like grease. Decor is dated, menus were falling apart, everything was pretty bad when we walked in but we gave it a shot anyway. There were multiple times we considered leaving but stuck it out. We only ordered sushi, thats why I'm giving them a 2 and not a 1. The hibachi dishes other people got seemed okay. The sushi, unfortunately, was inedible. Even the Wasabi had some weird brown spots... like it had dried out from sitting. Sushi rolls all tasted the same, browned avocado, imitation crab had an off taste, and the fish looked and tasted off and was gray. Didn't finish the meal, and I wouldn't go back. It's a big place, if they worked on it it could have some potential but it looks like it's falling apart and nobody cares. Cannot stress this enough, don't order sushi here. read more

Worst sushi I have seen. Even the rice was bad. Couldn't bring myself to even try the raw rolls. My husband tasted the raw rolls and had to stop. read more

One of my favorite places to dine. They staff here is so friendly every time we come. You can either go to the sushi side or The hibachi side. I always opt for the hibachi side. The chefs are amazing and always put on a great show. The food can be prepared to you liking. I always get the steak medium and shrimp. They always have it perfectly prepared for my tastes. You will always have a generous helping of fried rice with vegetables. The atmosphere is great for large groups and celebrations. The staff there is accommodating and will provide great service. My dad comes so frequently that they know him on a first name basis. You can order drinks from the bar if you would enjoy one. It's located in a shopping center with plenty of parking. read more

the rice around my sushi is slimy and smells bad. my spring rolls smell and taste like the old burning grease. never again.

I order sushi from here all the time. It's a bit pricey but they give me a 10% military discount which is nice. The sushi is of good quality and the hibachi grill is excellent. Very entertaining to watch the chef do his tricks with the cooking utensils and set the grill on fire. I liked the place so much I got my son a job there bussing tables and he seems to be doing good for his first after school job. Between MD Line up to York, PA you won't find a better place to get sushi or hibachi grilled food. Right off of Exit 4 to Shrewsbury up 83N in shopping center near the McDonald's. read more

I've had a thing for these type of restaurants ever since I first went to Kobe's. It's nice little spot inside the shopping center in Owings Mill. That means it's plenty of parking. The restaurant is very nice & broken into 2 sections. One side is for the hibachi grill if that's what you have a taste for. The other one is for the sushi bar. Both sides have great service & the waiters are constantly checking to see if you're satisfied. The prices are excellent & my favorite thing on the menu is the volcano rolls. Hands down some of the best ones I've ever had. read more

This restaurant experience was horrible and I can't believe this place is in business. We had a reservation at 7:30 for hibachi and were not served our appetizers until 8:30. The soup was straight chicken fat broth and the salad was covered in a strange, thin, mayonnaise type sauce. The waiters were unfriendly and kept forgetting things. Our drinks were also strange tasting and we sent a couple back. Our group is typically not too hard to please, but this place was downright nasty. After such a bad experience with the appetizers and waiting for over an hour, we unfortunately had to leave hungry and frustrated. read more

We love this place. We come here almost every Sunday. The sushi buffet is awesome. There might be other great sushi places in Owings Mills, but for the price and selection - this is by far my favorite. We've tried the hibachi grill as well, and thought it was fantastic!!! But my main reason for going here is the $10 all-you-can-eat sushi! My friend, personal chef Vincenzo gives this Sushi two thumbs up. Unique citrus salad dressing, fantastic fresh fish, and delectable creative tempura rolls; make this a wonderful stop for lunch and dinner!!!!!! read more

Favorite sushi buffet in the northwest suburbs of Baltimore. 10$ lunch buffet is solid. I've been here dozens of times. They roll out a bunch of different kinds of sushi. Think different combinations of avocado, cucumber, raw fish(salmon, tuna) sticky rice, cream cheese, imitation crab stick, spicy mayo, etc. all wrapped up in nori. They also have sweet fried sesame bean balls, teriyaki chicken on a stick and garden salad. It's all pretty good and well maintained. They have hibachi too if your into that but that's separate from the sushi buffet. read more

Ginza - I found this inside a sushi roll - Japanese Near Me - Owings Mills, Maryland

I met a friend here for lunch today. It was my first time and it was a pleasant experience. The Hibachi Chef was very entertaining. You could tell that he enjoyed his work because he smiled the entire time. We ordered Shrimp Fried Rice and a Lobster Roll which came with Soup and Salad. I started with the soup and found it quite tasty. The Shrimp Fried Rice was cooked just as requested and served next. When the Lobster Roll arrived, I was ready to dig in. It was fresh and had just the right amount of spice (a hint) for my liking. The entire staff was friendly. They were able to answer all my questions and I had a few since this was my first time at a Hibachi Grill. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to others, but I would need to visit again and try some other dishes before I could rave about it. read more

I made a special trip to this restaurant from my house (a 20 minute ride) and got a pretty expensive entrée (27$). They forgot my salad and soup which I did not realize until I got home.

But please have better service. This Answer is not acceptable. 3 stars only because the food was good. read more

Ordered hibachi and sushi from here for take out and it was just not good. The shrimp was pretty tasteless, veggies were brown and the salmon in the sushi looked like salmon they had baked in the oven and then shoved in a roll. Literally couldn't eat the shrimp or sushi. Not sure if it's one of those places where the food is a lot better if you actually sit in, but I definitely do not recommend getting takeout from here. There are far better sushi and hibachi places around. read more
