Located in Ward near L&L's, Ginza is a nice sushi restaurant in a medium sized space. There may be parking in the parking structure attached to the building. If not, there is parking around the Ward area. The restaurant has some outdoor seating and more indoor options. The interior felt clean with wooden furniture and decorations. The lighting didn't feel overbearing. We placed our orders pretty quickly and have no complaints about the service. We decided to get the Ginza ahi tower and hurricane and twister rolls. We were a bit disappointed with the tower. We thought it would be bigger. The dish itself was good though. The rolls were also yummy, with a good amount of flavor and fish in the rolls. The hurricane roll had a decent amount of sauce, which felt a bit overbearing at times. However, the sauce tasted good so not much to complain about. Overall not bad.
Recently stopped by for dinner after walking by this place so many times. Parking is by wholefoods or the theaters. Located next to L&L. I love that they have a few tables outside that are Dog Friendly and also the BYOB with no corkage is a huge plus! They have a lot of combinations. I had tempura and chicken karaage for $27. My other half had 3 combination for $40 teri chicken, miso butterfish and steak. Combos come with miso soup, salad and a scoop of ice cream at the end. I thought everything was good the only not so good thing that I noticed is the shrimp tempura is box type that you buy frozen pre-made and fry. I would have expected the real type of shrimp tempura for this type of place. Service was friendly it was a freat dinner.
Fantastic sushi spot in Ward area. Right across from Merrimans and Whole Foods. I enjoyed the twister and avenger rolls, a few pieces of nigiri, and the fried pork gyoza. A few notes on the food. I prefer pan fried gyoza to the deep fried version offered here, but it was still good. For the avenger roll, I'd recommend getting the sauce on the side. It tastes good, but I personally didn't want so much. They also unexpectedly put some mayo on the hamachi nigiri pieces. I would have preferred it plain. Service was friendly and the space was really nice. Price was reasonable. Great date spot. I will definitely be back.
First off the food was okay. Nothing it was okay, but by the time we got it it wasn't worth it. We got there at about 6:40 on a Saturday Night, there were about 4 other tables full when we got there. Our food didn't come out until 7:26. Which was wild. By the time we got our food there were about4x the number of people so idk how bad it would be for them. Won't be coming back, Doraku or Rinka are much better.
Quick lunch on our anniversary. Service was excellent for only having one waitstaff. The lunch combos is the best deal. Everything was very fresh and I really enjoyed the sushi. They have great rice! The tonkatsu looked dry but it wasn't. Juicy and delicious. The ice cream was also creamy and a nice finish. We would go again.
Putting Ginza and Sushi together has a high standard. So does this restaurant being called Ginza Sushi live up to those standards? Definitely not. None can. In Hawai'i? Average. This place is located in Kaka'ako, along Kamakee, near L&L. Can in the Whole Foods or Ward Theatres parking lots. Inside is very basic and casual. Menu is your typical Japanese sushi menu items. The Fried Calamari ($15) was good. Tender, nicely seasoned and battered with a tasty aioli sauce with a nice spice kick. Chicken Karaage ($15) was okay. Much smaller, popcorn to nugget size pieces. Result was over-battered and dry chicken. However, it was fried and seasoned well with a tasty aioli sauce. The Hamachi Lover set was all right ($33). It came with 4 piece sashimi, 4 piece nigiri, and 6 piece hosomaki. Could be presented better. Hamachi was good, typical quality. The Combo sets is a good way to try different items. Server noted the serving portion is the same as Ala Carte. The Mixed Tempura was a pass ($15). Came with shrimp, sweet potato, zucchini, pumpkin, etc. Shrimp was over battered, rest was not battered well. Nothing was seasoned, so relied on the sauce for any taste. Unagi was okay ($17). It just ate and tasted like it was just nuked to temp with bonito flakes thrown on top. The Butterfish Misoyaki ($18) was fine. Lacked miso flavor and umami. Prime Rib Eye with Sautéed Mushroom ($40 total) was not worth it at all. Cooked unevenly, zero char, no noticeable sear with the sauce covering everything. The mushroom and onions didn't seem like they were sautéed at all. Onions were still white and on the firm side. Miso soup was per usual. Overall, an okay experience. Something you can find any where else, but perhaps with better prices and more generous portions. Service was good. Attentive and friendly. Everything tasted fine, but the preparation and plating was on the lackadaisical side. That doesn't make you feel you'd want to come back.
Came here for date night and had such a great experience. My boyfriend and I had been to Ginza Sushi's previous location a handful of times before they relocated. They only moved about a block away, but the difference is noticeable in the best way! The new Ward location is really nice and feels like a huge upgrade. They've definitely elevated the look and feel of the space. It feels more polished and modern, yet the prices are about the same and the quality has always been top tier. I was also pleasantly surprised by the crowd. There were people dining solo, families, and couples, which made the atmosphere feel comfortable and welcoming for everyone. We started with the scallops butteryaki, which were cooked perfectly. For our mains, we ordered two teishoku sets. I got the spicy ahi with butterfish misoyaki, and my boyfriend got the chicken katsu with spicy ahi. Everything was cooked to perfection, and the teishoku sets came with miso soup, salad, and edamame. They also came with dessert, which was such a nice touch. I had the matcha ice cream, and my boyfriend had the sherbet. The staff was really nice and attentive throughout our meal. Russell, the owner, was also around making conversation with customers. He's a cool guy, and it was great to see how hands-on and personable he is. Overall, it was an amazing meal and experience. We can't wait to come back!
Ginza Sushi was originally at the Ward Centre before moving to a new location across Merriman next to the L&L Drive Inn. I've been to the old location years ago with a coworker during lunch hour. I remembered it was slow and dark inside. Ward Centre has a new owner and soon the businesses there will close due to upcoming building of the new condominiums. Perhaps they found a new location a bit sooner than the other businesses at Ward Center. I really thought the former Menchako-tei restaurant on Keeaumoku St was planning to move here instead , but I see they have a Fort St Mall restaurant called Tonkatsu Sanji! Too bad they are only opened on weekdays. Getting back to Ginza Sushi, it's still Ginza Sushi but on the sign as I was driving by, Ginza is all you see but in smaller print, the word Sushi is there! The new restaurant is nicer modern Japanese restaurant. Glass front doors and wall, but it's a larger space with more seating. Prices not as comparable to some other Japanese restaurants as my first choice, but expected in this new Ward location. A nice place to get together with family or friends. Ginza Sushi offers sushi, donburi, udon, soba, kids sets, & lunch sets. The signature combos' price depends on what your choices are. They also have appetizers, sides, hosomaki, & sashimi plus more! I was in the rush during my lunch hour and decided on ordering the donburi and I didn't have to wait long. Piping hot and made so fast. Service was good. For a little more, you can have a teishoku with soup and salad. I got the chicken karaage donburi with 7-8 fried chicken morsels. The chicken was drizzled with mayo, furikake, and I believe kabayaki sauce served on rice. The flavor came from the sauce than the chicken. There was some pickled cucumbers on the side. Nice for take out if you don't need, salad & miso soup for a dollar more as you would get for one choice lunch A set. I noticed for dinner, the teishoku or the signature combo of 2-3 choices comes with ice cream. Check out their new location!
I love sushi but I never get the chance to try a lot of places. I honestly usually go to Genki if I'm not super hungry and Kan if I want AYCE. I decided to finally go out of my usual choices and try Ginza out. Ginza is located in the main ward building (the one with the theater), on the side, between Men's Warehouse and L&L. We got seated fairly quickly and was given water. Upon ordering we were also given edamame to nom on while we waited. We also decided to order two rolls, an AAB combo set to try a variety of things and fried calamari for food measure. We got: * Jen's Paradise: 9.7/10, heavily recommend. I was really craving sear salmon and it definitely helped to satisfy that craving. I didn't realize that the roll part itself ONLY has shrimp tempura within the nori (no crab salad, avo, etc). * Bomb: 8/10, clearly I lacked my reading comprehension skills this day because I didn't realize that this was baked... so when it came out and the entire roll was fully cooked I was heart broken. It tasted good, just not what I particular want at a sushi restaurant. * Chicken Karaage: 5/10. I do NOT recommend this. They remined me of mochiko chicken, but these were not very meaty or flavorful. * Fried Calamari: 10/10, fried to perfectly in my opinion, each piece was plump and delicious. * Miso Butterfish: 8.9/10, it was good, flaky and flavorful. Just not something I would order again, but it was good to try esp it is something they're supposedly known for. * Mixed Tempura: 10/10, yum I love mixed tempura, no notes, it was hot and crunchy. I would like to mention that our wait was quite long. I don't know why because they weren't like SUPER busy. It took 10-15 for us to get the miso soup and salad for the combo. +5 for the calamari, +5 for the first roll then a few minutes after for the rest. I feel like 15-20 minutes for our first actual item (calamari) to come is kind of crazy, it kept being brought to the wrong table (2-3 times). Our server apologized so its not a huge deal. Otherwise, I still enjoyed our experience. I would definitely come back again to try the rolls I would enjoy more (utilizing my reading skills a bit better LOL).
Ginza Sushi has been on my bucket list for quite some time now, and I saw an opportunity to give them a try at their new location through their participation in Taste of Ward event offering BOGO 50% OFF on their rolled sushi. Their new location is aesthetic and has more open space than their previous location. But with a new location came a revamped menu--there were more "cooked" rolls than I remember, but then again, I last dined in Ginza back in 2021. This 3-star rating is based solely on their food. Their rolls are certainly creative and fun, but that also meant that not all of them hit the mark. PARADISE ROLL ($20) [4.5/5] - baked shrimp tempura and freshwater lobster roll. This was my favorite roll of the night, I never had freshwater lobster before, but I liked the bouncy (but not rubbery) texture. It kinda tasted like a sushi bake. MOANA ROLL ($19) [3.5/5] - spicy ahi cucumber roll with unagi and avocado. This was a classic roll, the ahi did not taste particularly fresh but it was not bad. ALOHA ROLL ($18) [1/5] - seared salmon with avocado, cucumber, and tobiko. I was disappointed that they used store-bought tempura flakes (tenkatsu) when they (presumably) batter and fry their tempura in-house. The salmon was fishy, and the size of the salmon throughout the roll was very inconsistent. I will attest that their portions for the rolls are pretty big though--we were full eating 1.5 rolls each.
I eat here every chance I get, this place is absolutely the best, the service the food. The captain crunch and avenger rolls are the best, the hamachi with jalapeños is a must. Comfortable seating, very clean restaurant, food is always fresh.
Lovely calm, very clean atmosphere. Offers a lot of options for set meals and sashimi. Extensive menu. Appreciate the free parking. This place has a lot of take out also. The shrimp tempura and unagi were fine. I really liked that the meal also included dessert. Friendly service. Would go to Ginza sushi again.

My son wanted sushi for lunch from Genkis or Kuru kuru but since we miss Japan so much we said NO because we wanted REAL GOOD SUSHI. My daughter found this place on yelp so we gave it a try. First time to Ginza sushi walking in the ambiance is clean and modern. Staff greeted us and seated us right away. They have a good selection on the menu and I really liked how they have the combination sets. We got agedashi tofu and ahi tower for apps. I got the misoyaki butterfish and avenger roll. The quality of the fish was so good. The portions were perfect for me. Some of the sets come with ice cream so that was a bonus. Food came out so fast and our servers were amazing. We got to meet the owner/chef and he was so nice. We highly recommend and will be back! read more

Come to greet Ginza on their new re-grand opening in the new location. Absolutely clean and beautiful inside. Nice and spacious! We definitely want to dine-in next time. The staff is always friendly and ready to work. We always did take out at the other location but this location has a lot more seating now. So we definitely will check it out! We are glad for the new upgrade. Highly recommend checking them out at Wards! read more

First time here and decided to check it out for lunch. We ordered the Ginza Special, Avenger, Aloha rolls. While everything was tasty, the Ginza Special was definitely our favorite, and the other rolls were good but nothing special. However, presentation on the rolls was 10/10. The inside is a cute spot and the woman working was so friendly and attentive. Nice spot. read more

Ginza Sushi is in Ward, recently moved to a new spot between the L&L and the Men's Warehouse. We live nearby and have always wanted to try it, so we finally did. The interior is absolutely beautiful: modern Japanese chic, warm lighting, wood slatted panel walls, and a clean aesthetic We ordered the hamachi collar, a specialty roll, and a salmon avocado roll. Total was $53 before tax and tip. The food was good, but it wasn't anything special. It's priced as if the food is exceptionally elevated or special, and it's not Service was okay to good, also nothing special. Nothing was wrong with Ginza Sushi, but I wouldn't come back. At these prices, I need at least one standout detail, and I didn't find one read more

My bf and I came here for dinner on a Sunday. It wasn't too busy and we were able to get a table rather fast. The staff were friendly. Both of us got the "create your own combo." I got the chicken karaage, cold soba, and unagi kabayaki. The chicken pieces were fairly big and tasted good with the sauce and cabbage. I'd never had cold soba before and I wanted to try it, but I wasn't really a fan. I liked the noodles, but I didn't think the soup it came with had much flavor together. I really liked the unagi, which was soft and flavorful. My bf got the cold udon, hamburger steak, and unagi kabayaki. We really liked the hamburger steak and he liked his cold udon and unagi. We also got the bomb sushi roll, which was also good. We were so full from all of the food! read more

Exceptional dining experience at Ginza Sushi! I've seen Ginza Sushi on Yelp countless times, but only today did I finally get to savor their offerings. My family and I had just stopped by Happy Lemon Ward during our 'Veteran's Day Adventure' when we spotted Ginza and decided to come back soon to try it out. Little did I know, "soon" would mean the very next day, but no complaints here! Haha! My wife is a devoted sushi enthusiast, so she suggested it for lunch today - lucky me! :D The restaurant itself is cozy and intimate, with maybe 2 four-top tables outside and around 6-8 tables inside. The ambiance was enhanced by soothing "KennyG-like" tunes and holiday music, creating a pleasant backdrop for our surprise lunch date. Our server was outstanding, bringing humor and warmth to the experience. It was quiet when we first arrived, but by 1pm, a steady crowd started to fill the space... And that server stayed on point with all of us in the dining room. We always appreciate friendly, efficient service, so GREAT JOB - to him! Here's what we got: - 9pc Nigiri & Sashimi Set - Uni Nigiri - Uni Temaki - Scallop/Mayo Nigiri - Maguro - Natto Hosomaki w/Green Onions - Fried Calamari - Baked Mussels - Butteryaki Scallops Everything was superb! My wife had high hopes for the Uni, and Ginza delivered beyond expectations - it was fresh and, as she described, "like buttah!" The ahi, salmon, and hamachi were also incredibly fresh, practically melting in your mouth. I'm not sure how Ginza manages to offer such high-quality sushi at these reasonable prices, especially in this area, but we're more than happy to enjoy it while we can. It's rare these days to find a place that doesn't inflate prices, so discovering an excellent sushi spot with fair pricing made the experience even more rewarding. Thanks Ginza & staff! read more

First time trying at Ginza Sushi. They are a solid 4.3/5 The restaurant relocated next to L&L by Ward. We parked at the ward theaters parking location. We went on a quiet night of Sunday around 7PM. * First impressions - At the door, they have a tablet with the YELP waitlist in which they will let you know when your table is ready by text. - The restaurant was not too busy at the time and we were promptly seated at a nice big table. - Menus are ready on the table along with water served to you as soon as you sit down. *At the table - The menus are high quality, minimalistic, straight to the point. - We ordered two sets of combo 3: two butterfishes, two spicy poke, chicken katsu & unagi. Came with generous servings of Miso Soup, Salad and a single serving of Edamame. It also comes with an ice cream of your choice at the end. - They are attentive with drinks refills. - We waited longer than other customers eating just sushi (justified) but we were pleasantly surprised at the portions. *Quality & Price - Miso soup and Salad were delish. - Poke was great! But may be a lil' too spicy for some. It's a bit higher than standard. - Butterfish was incredible. It's a $1 extra for this item but it is worth it. Good portion. (Eat the skin, it's the best part) - Chicken Katsu fried to perfection and juicy on the inside. - Unfortunately, the unagi was not good for me. It was dry, felt stale but the sauce was nice and the bonito flakes was a nice touch. - I think for the price is OK. If they added a drink with this combo, it would be the cherry on top. Overall, I recommend this place for casual Japanese food (hot). No comments on sushi as I have not try it on this visit. read more
Though the restaurant was relocated new and beautiful, my nigiri lunch looked miserable for $20. Nigiri lunch is 4 pieces of small California rolls and 4 pieces of nigiri with miso soup, salad in a miso soup cup and edamame to share. I hope they put more passion in sushi (if necessary, they can skip edamame): please use better, fresh fish to impress customers. Thank you very much for the lunch. read more
Wow! What a great place to grab a meal outside the craziness of Waikiki. The menu had many amazing choices some of which we ordered twice! Dynamite Scallop was phenomenal as were the Ginza special, twister and the bomb! I really don't think you can go wrong. The servers were great and full of helpful inspiration and quick to refill drinks and bring food to the table. We will definitely hit this spot again next trip out! read more
Love this place!!!!! 10/10 Been here a couple of times already and every time I come the service is superb and the food is so Ono-licious! The staff is all so friendly too. My bf's new favorite roll is the avenger roll and that is sooooo bomb!! I'm more of a baked girlie so I like the bomb roll. Their sake is also really good!! It's a cute place, located on the outside of the ward shopping plaza, right next to Happy Lemon. Parking is convenient, they have the free structure to park in. Although it can be packed sometimes, it doesn't hurt to park higher as the stalls can be tight. It's also nice to come to after watching a movie since they close late. We decided to walk over once instead of driving to get some steps in after a nice movie. Try it! You won't regret it, honestly. I'll come back time and time again :) read more

I had the pleasure of eating at Ginza sushi on a Sunday afternoon around 130. My kids wanted to eat cucumber maki, and this was one of a few places in the area after visiting KidCity that we could sit down and enjoy some food. They had lunch specials until 3 pm so we decided to try two. I got the chicken karaage lunch special that comes with miso soup, a side salad, and a bowl of rice. My kids both got a cucumber maki and a musubi plus gyoza to share. We were the only ones in the restaurant for a while so we had a lot of attention from the servers who provided us quick service and constantly refills of our drinks. The food was good however I don't think we got anything too extravagant. My only complaints were that there were fish eggs in the sauce that came with the chicken karaage and they automatically added 20% gratuity for parties of 5 or more even though we had two adults and three children. Parking is located on the backside of the restaurant or across the street. There is also a handy bus stop right in front of you are catching The Bus. read more

Ginza Sushi entrance is located on Auahi St and is part of Ward Center. I came here with family members at 5pm when they opened and was already half full with customers. This not a large restaurant, but it's comfortable. I felt like eating sushi and drinking some Dassai 45 along with a beer. Hey, don't judge, that's the way I roll, lol. I decided on the Omakase sushi platter as I wanted to be surprised on what he decided to offer. Everyone else ate Teishoku's which included Miso Soup, Green Salad, Bowl of rice, Main dish and dessert. Pretty good deal for the price with good size portions. Everyone was happy with their choices, as I was also. Ginza's menu offer a variety of dishes, so it should have something for even the picky eater. Service was attentive and efficient. read more

Convenient decent Japanese spot in Ward. They have teishoku options, soba, donburi, sushi rolls and more. Prices can add up and for 2 people it was about $50. Waiter was friendly, welcoming, and informative when asked about the menu options. Food came out quick and the spicy ahi was . Fish tasted fresh and you can add on a side like seaweed salad for an extra cost. Tempura came out warm but the potato was a little under cooked and the batter didn't have much flavor. Overall a decent spot when craving Japanese. read more
This is a fantastic place. I ordered the Nigiri Omakase, and the fish was so fresh and tender. Service is friendly and quick too. We arrived around 5:30pm on a Saturday evening, and we easily got a table. As it approached 6:00pm, more and more people entered and the staff set up the iPad at the door for the waitlist. It's a small, casual place with about 8 to 10 tables. There's a couple of tables outside. Definitely would return! read more
