Take-Review: I absolutely love this place. The actual restaurant is not that exciting inside, so I usually order take-out on my way home. This has officially become the take-out of choice when my parents are visiting from out of town as well. We always order 6-8 rolls and it comes so perfectly presented even for it being packed to bring home. I absolutely love the Red Tiger roll, you get spicy salmon and shrimp tempura all in one roll. It's like getting two rolls in one which makes the price completely reasonable and worth it. Every specialty roll we've tried is great and they also do a great job with the traditional rolls if you are looking to keep it simple. If you have someone in your group like my dad, that is still working on the "raw fish" concept, they have both Teriyaki entrée options and hibachi dinners. read more

Great sushi. And great value for the price. We ordered 3 specialty rolls. The angry dragon, the kamikaze and a roll w eel. All were ample and delicious. The kamikaze was the best. Had some heat. I highly recommend it. We also got the chicken teriyaki skewers. I forget what it was called. It was good but not amazing or anything. The atmosphere was typical. Plain and simple. Service was attentive and friendly. This will become a repeat spot. read more

I ate this sushi so fast I wasn't even able to get a picture of it. This was probably the freshest sushi I have ever had in my entire life!!! I got the angry bird roll in the strongman roll and they were both the best things I have ever had in my life. Highly recommended!!!! If I lived in Pittsburgh I would be here every single day!!! read more

Got the sushi boat for two and it was more than enough for both of us. They follow covid precautions really well. They have a pick up table for customers and there is a glass partition in the doorway. The fish was fresh but the girly roll could use a bit more flavor. The seaweed salad was as expected. I would visit this restaurant again. read more

One of my favorite sushi spots in the Burgh! I've had a number of their rolls and they are all so delicious. I like every roll I've had and I'm a huge fan of the hibachi as well. The sushi is very fresh and the staff is great! We asked for a sushi recommendation and our waiter did not lead us in the wrong direction. I will keep coming back for more! read more

Seriously my favorite place to get sushi in the city! It is well priced, and the size of the sushi pieces is just perfect. I get upset when one buys expensive sushi only to find that the rolls are absolutely tiny. The restaurant itself is never incredibly busy, I think a lot of people decide to take-out. The dining area is clean and sleek. The owner is usually the one who greets you; she is very friendly and will recognize after only a few times of coming in. I usually get the avocado roll and the sweet potato tempura roll. The sweet potato one is actually a bit bigger than the normal rolls and it has a special sauce drizzled over it. It is good with or without soy sauce. Order at lunch and you get a soup or salad. I love the dressing for the salad! The lettuce leaves a little to be desired. Good food. Not much else to say! When I'm in the sushi mood, this is definitely the place I go to. read more

My SO ordered this for me for my birthday during the pandemic... tasted just the like we went out to eat :) the only negative was they forgot the wasabi/ginger on the side but that's okay maybe it was the mountain of sushi we ordered! Definitely ordering from here again their sushi is delicious read more

My husband and I were in Bloomfield for an errand, and we saw this Japanese restaurant and decided to stop in. The appetizers of gyoza and cheese wonton tasted very good. We also enjoyed the miso soup, ginger salad, and orange soda (although we needed assistance with opening the Japanese-style bottle!). The entrees of chicken teriyaki and steak hibachi tasted good but are not my favorite in the Pittsburgh area. The waiter was polite, attentive, and very timely with serving us. read more

Ginza is my absolute favorite place for sushi in the city. It is a hidden gem in Bloomfield. The sushi is always fresh and has a beautiful presentation when it is brought out to you. I usually ask the waiter or waitress for their suggestion on a sushi to work my way around the menu. I've never been let down. Give this place a try!! read more

Great little local spot for sushi. Kind of a hidden secret :) definitely worth a try and totally reasonably priced! Go visit!

Hello. My name is Christy and I am a sushi-holic. It has been 2 weeks since my last sushi meal... I was looking for a place to satiate my craving after visiting a friend at West Penn Hospital. Of course I pulled up Yelp and to my surprise, Ginza was barely a two block walk away! The photos looked tasty and my dining companion and I were able to go in and get a table right away. The waitress was pleasant and everything from our order came out SO fast. We started with the clear soup which was very similar to the mushroom soup I love at Silk Road, except Ginza uses a darker broth. It was delicious and the perfect thing to warm me up on a frigid February evening. For our sushi selections, we had a California roll (I can never pass these up!), Aloha roll (yellowtail and jalapeno topped with spicy tuna), Naruto roll (tuna and salmon wrapped in cucumber, no rice!), and salmon sashimi. I kid you not, our food came out probably less than 10 minutes after we ordered. It was all fantastic and I really enjoyed the Aloha roll. I don't get over this way too often, but I'm glad to have found another yummy sushi spot for when I get that hankering... it happens more often than I should probably admit! I did notice a BYOB sign in the front window, so that seems like as good of an excuse as ever for me to get back here soon. read more

We were near west penn hospital and wanted something besides hospital food but that was closed enough to the hospital. Ginza was one of the options so as a good yelper, I had to follow people's reviews. We came here on a Saturday during lunch which there were a couple of people enjoying their meals. We were seated immediately and realized that they had a reasonable lunch menu. We ordered the bento boxes which comes with soup/salad, rice, california rolls, siu mai and your main dish. As a healthy option, I got the steamed chicken with vegetables which comes with a savory sauce on the side. We also got the tofu bento box. The tofu was fried and delicious! It came with a sweet sauce (duck sauce maybe?). The food was good and it will definitely fill you up. Sooo... it's a great spot to try for sushi or bento boxes! read more

Have eaten here twice, both times the sushi and rolls were good. But for the price, I'm a bigger fan of Umami in Lawrenceville. It's just a step above in terms of quality, presentation...and then there are those amazing cocktails.... Still, if you're looking for decent sushi/rolls, nice atmosphere and good service in Bloomfield, Ginza is worth a stop. read more

Went on a Sunday afternoon and our waitress was very nice and quick. We got three rolls - snow roll, shrimp tempura, and spicy snow crab. The snow roll has shrimp tempura, snow crab, and cucumber. It was my favorite of the three. The other two were still delicious. The rolls range $7-$16 which can be steep but it's worth it and surprisingly filling. Definitely my new go-to sushi place. read more

Ginza - Spicy crab, snow, and shrimp tempura roll - Japanese Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Unimpressed and probably won't ever go back. The salmon was flavorless and weirdly textured. The spicy tuna was extremely dry. The rice tasted like it sat uncovered in the refrigerator for days. The seaweed salad was 70% lettuce. I can understand possibly a little lettuce on the bottom for your last bite but for $7+ it should be more than 3 small bites of actual seaweed. My kids LOVE sushi and they only ate half of what they normally do. Thumbs down. read more

We got a few different rolls and wine for the table. There is a $3 BYOB charge for the whole table, regardless of how many people are there. I thought the sushi was a bit over priced, some rolls got up to $15 which is pretty steep. The rolls were all very tasty but it is definitely not a cheaper sushi place. Our waitress talked very quietly and it was sometimes hard to hear what she was saying. I think she may have been newer so we didn't mind too much. My friend got the teriyaki sauce with her hibachi but she said it tasted pretty average. overall i liked Yokoso at the Waterfront area better so i'm unsure if i'd come back but it was still a good experience! read more

Ordered sushi to-go from here and was really pleased! I ordered the avocado roll and the sweet potato tempura rolls. The sweet potato tempura roll is quite large and each piece is definitely a mouth full. The avocado roll was very delicious and fresh. The rolls came with plenty of ginger, wasabi and soy sauce and were priced fairly. I will be back when I have another sushi craving! read more

I ordered the Steak Hibachi (cooked medium) and it was delicious. The steak was a good quality. The miso soup and salad were also delicious. I also ordered Takoyaki as an appetizer and it was good. read more

I'm branching out. it's truly unbelievable that I'd part from Penn Ave Fish Company. I mean, let's get real, I'll never stay away long but I've found a good option in Ginza. The truth is Ginza is cheaper and the rolls are larger. That's just it. Go big or go home. So if you're craving good sushi at a great price with massive servings, this is your place! I really like that you can put together your own combinations with money saving prices. Between the two of us we split the Marki for Two for $33. It was two specialty rolls and two regular rolls. What a steal! We ordered the Tuna Lover and Spicy Girl specialty rolls plus the tuna avocado and philly roll. On top of the rolls you also get soup and salad. I mean, geez. Keep piling on the food... and this was just for lunch! All the rolls were really fantastic, with the Tuna Lover being my favorite. I can tell this is going to fit into the regular rotation of restaurants I'll frequent. I can't wait to come back and try the habachi meals too. Seriously, I could spend months ordering all the different menu options. Maybe I should just set up shop here for the winter. Not too bad for winter hibernation mode. read more

Quentin was an amazing server. Quentin was prompt and friendly and so sweet. Would come back just for the amazing service and the food is amazing also! Also BYOB was a major plus! read more

This is a cute little restaurant in a kinda hipster neighborhood near the city. Parking was a bit of a challenge and it's to be expected in these parts but after 3 laps around the block, we found a space. Upon entering, we were greeted by a very friendly lady at the desk and seated in a location that was away from the door which was very thoughtful on her part. The place was pretty empty with only one other table occupied by a gentleman reading a newspaper and eating sushi. This concerned me but I do trust my Yelp buddies as you guys have yet to let me down. After gazing over the menu a few times, I opted for sushi and my fellow diner chose the pan fried chicken udon. It's kinda cool that this is really a hibachi spot without the popular shows...like Benihana or the other spot I will never mention (ahhh Ichiban choooo). Ichiban in the Waterworks/Fox Chapel area is horrible...can you tell I'm still mad at them? Sorry, not sorry. Okay, back to Ginza... The noodles came with a side of soup or salad. My fellow diner didn't care for their miso. It was originally thought the soup option would be the regular clear broth so the waiter happily offered to replace it. A few minutes later, however, the waiter returned with a salad. I wasn't sure how the waiter missed this with an empty restaurant. Although the salad dressing tasted more like thousand island with a bunch of mayo added, we decided not to complain because he was so very nice and hey...it's just salad anyway. Shortly after that, our selections arrived. The sushi was pretty good and the price was fair in my opinion. Tempura shrimp were cooked well and the fish tasted fresh. The udon was just okay but the chicken had that nice rich grilled taste. While I probably wouldn't return here for a salad, soup or entree, I definately would come back for more sushi! (3 stars for sushi!) read more

My go to for sushi I love everything I've tried there so far, oh and it's BYOB! I always bring my out of town friends to Ginza if they're down for sushi. Good price, good atmosphere, good food, and good service. The only reason I didn't give a five stars is that they're kind of slow, but it really depends on the day. I went during the day once and they were fast. Anyway, my fav sushi place near me (: read more

Ginza - sushi porn, basically. Spicy tuna, spicy salmon, spicy cooked white fish, sweet potato roll, and fat tuna nigiri - Japanese Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

More tests are needed, but I've been here at least twice, and never left disappointed. The service here is great - very attentive without being annoying. It is quite a small place though, so it's probably not hard. If you're into salads... The Japanese ginger dressing is the s***. The iceberg lettuce you put it on is just meh. But the dressing - for real. Miso soup. Pretty good. Opaque in color, and keeps you wondering what else is in there. I think for this reason it seems a little more substantial since it's not completely clear. I've had the Ginza roll, which is freaking huge, and I also had to resist calling it the Yinza roll. I think it's about 12 pieces. It's got tuna, salmon, yellowtail, and Kani for the meats and among other things some delicious spicy mayo. Besides sushi, they also have a nice selection of other rice, noodle, and hibachi dishes. It is BYOB and I hit myself on the forehead every time I forget this before going. My favorite thing is the cute little orange they give you at the end. It's the perfect ending. read more

Been here twice. First time we waited for quite a while before we got our food. The waitress and owner apologized for the delay and offered free seaweed salad, which was fresh and tasty. The rolls were delicious so we came back for a second time, and the first time was not a fluke! Portions are large, fish was fresh, and rolls were delicious. Would recommend to anyone that wants some good sushi! read more

Went here last night for the first time. It's BYOB and we brought two bottles of wine. The waitstaff is extremely friendly and the service is just the right pace. Not too fast, not too slow. The atmosphere is nice and relaxed. TV for those who want to watch the game. I ordered the edamame for an appetizer. It was good, but not great. May have been a little older than I would've liked. The sushi was very reasonably priced. The fish was fresh and delicious! The pretty girl roll was my favorite. Sweet potato roll was an interesting one too! See mt picture for the whole plate! Can't wait to go back to Ginza. read more

This was my first time trying this place out for take-out. I called ahead for an order and when I arrived it was already waiting for me. The place was completely empty other than me walking in and the people working there. I'm pretty sure it was because it was snowing and no one wanted to venture out. I ordered two salmon ngiri sushi, spicy salmon roll, dragon roll, and gyoza. I grabbed my order and checked it out in the car. It looked so delicious and it definitely was when I finally got to try it. I was really satisfied with the size and freshness of my ngiri salmon and the spicy but not deathly spicy salmon roll. It was on the smaller side and perfect. The gyoza came with six pieces and a good size container of soy sauce. Everything had soy sauce on the side and I like this because some places give you one small container for your entire order. Not here! My dragon roll was different than what I'm used to seeing and tasting from a dragon roll, but that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it. Each piece was covered with avocado slices and fresh all around. So freakin' good!! I'll be back! read more

I don't normally give reviews but I'm originally from Long Island and I consider myself a little picky with my sushi! After reading tons of yelp reviews in the Pittsburgh area I gave Ginza a shot today! Most sushi places don't have a nice sit down option - this place does! The staff is super friendly and accommodating. It's BYOB with only a $3 corking fee which is a bargain so take advantage! Right on the main street (Liberty) of Bloomfield so you can walk around after for a romantic date or family friendly outing. The speciality roll menu was extensive and had lots of unique options. Standard rolls also were extremely reasonable. We got the maki combo for 2 which is 2 speciality and 2 regular rolls with a choice of soup or salad for each person and it was a steal. All of our rolls were fresh, no fishy aftertaste/smell. The food came out super quick. Also big pet peeve of mine is salty soup - the miso soup here is delish! Everything was flavorful and I'm so happy I finally found a sushi place in Pittsburgh! read more

Got the Maki for two for myself, The food itself was pretty good. Nothing too special stood out to me, but the maki for two deal is unbeatable. On the bright side, everything that was tempura in the rolls were still crispy which is a huge plus! Not warm, but crispy. The server was nice, kind and considerate. The reason I am docking two stars is because our food took 1.5 hours. For a dine in restaurant, this is unacceptable. We got edename while waiting, but never too much of a reason for the delay! read more

Went here for the lunch special and got the chicken katsu bento box which came with a salad. The salad was actually quite good. The bento box came with 2 Shumai, a California role, the chicken katsu and white rice. The California role had no flavor and the shumai was ok. The chicken katsu was good paired with the tangy sauce it was served with. There are better sushi places in Pittsburgh but if you're looking for a cheap lunch, I would give this place a try. read more

I've been here twice and the food and service have been consistently good both times. Most recently we ordered the Maki for Two which comes with either salad or soup. The ginger dressing they use is really good so I wouldn't hesitate to get the salad. As for the Maki for Two, we went with salmon, tuna, Zen and Tiger rolls. Good portion sizes make this a pretty good deal, plus everything tasted really fresh. Living within walking distance is an added bonus but for the quality and value this place is also worth the drive. read more

New to Pittsburgh, I had began to lose all hope there was decent sushi in this city. We discovered Ginza on a covid takeout whim and yasss! This place is the best sushi in PGH. So happy we found it. Menu is simple, very fresh, large portions, friendly staff. They take covid precautions seriously and you exchange food via the front. Love this place. read more

Went here a while ago with Sarah S. Most of the sushi was pretty good. Like Rachel C., we got the 4 roll deal, and it was a steal for the price. Everything was super pretty and even came with blinking light up thingys on the plate. That being said, the lobster was pretty bad :( pretty bad like I bit into it and wanted to spit it back out, but made myself chew and swallow it. It kind of ruined my experience. So, sushi good, lobster bad. read more

We have been coming here for about 3 years and have had just about everything on the menu and it's always a fantastic meal. Not only is the sushi fresh, but the other entrees have generous portions and taste delicious. The staff here is fantastic and they are always helpful and pleasant. Many people choose take-out from here and the take out is always timely and packed well for travel. My hubby and I often order the Maki for Two, which gives you two (2) special rolls and two (2) regular rolls, plus soup or salad for each of us. The Fried Rice dishes are always a hit as well as any of the Noodle dishes (which my hubby usually gets as the soup option). One great thing about the Noodle dishes are that they will customize your heat level. Hubby loves spicy foods and they not only kick up the heat in making the dish for him, but will also provide additional heat additions for him to use at the table. It is definitely our "Go To" spot for sushi and Japanese food. The interior is always clean and although it's small, there always seems to be a place to sit (which probably comes from all the take-out they do). Pros: Great food Sushi is fresh Prices are very reasonable Staff is extremely helpful Clean (which is super important to me) Cons: Street parking (but it's Bloomfield so it's expected) Overall, we are faithful customers and will continue to be. read more

We just ordered from Ginza for the first time last night. It was delicious. We got two orders or special sushi and shrimp fried rice. I was skeptical about freshness of fish in the currently disrupted Covid environment, but was pleasantly surprised!!! The sushi was on point and delicious. Not to mention it is takeout only, so can't wait to actually head into Ginza when able to try the actual hibachi and sit down for sushi. Btw the rice was excellent as well, great balance between sticky and flaky. read more

Excellent sushi and sashimi as well as good hand rolls. The fish was fresh. They also had vegetarian options and were very clear about which items (most of them) were gluten free. Unlike some other places, they do not skimp on wasabi or ginger slices. The large order was ready when promised. We wash the containers and use them as unbreakable food bowls for our toddler. Since the lids fit securely, we also use the bowls for food storage. So eating out does not have to mean you generate lots of garbage. read more

So good! Love this place and it's definitely in one of my All-Time Top 5 sushierias (made that up, feel free to use it ). I have not dined in for a very long time, but when I did, the BYOB aspect was great and the creative rolls were so good! read more
