    Tarantula Roll, 12 Piece Sushi Combo
    Kristen K.

    One of our favorite sushi takeout places while in Portland. They don't have dine in right now. We got the 12 piece and tarantula roll. We really liked the tarantula roll which had a fantastic mix of flavors and didn't skimp on the ingredients. One thing to note is they went a little heavy on the wasabi when making the nigiri pieces. Just to be aware.

    Happy Hour goodness

    I've only been here twice so far, both times for takeout, but both experiences have been stellar! I ordered some sushi and crab rangoons the first time around, and I had a drink at the bar while waiting. Drink was perfect. Atmosphere is relaxed. The sushi chef talked to me while I was hanging out at the bar, made me feel comfortable, as did the waitresses who were on that night as well. They were all super friendly and attentive. Second time I got Beef Sukiyaki for lunch takeout. OH MY GOD. The broth in this dish was amazinnnnnnng. I would have taken an entire bowl of the broth with nothing in it, it's that good. But with the addition of the tofu, veggies, beef, and nooldes, this dish is out of this world. I will DEFINITELY be ordering this again. Overall great little sushi joint. Pricing is pretty on par with other restaurants of similar quality (not super cheap, but not super expensive). What I really like about this place is how close it is to my house and the fact that I don't have to go downtown to get sushi unless I really want to. The parking situation could be a little better (there are only a few spots and these are shared with Papa Johns), but really other than that I have no complaints. They have Happy Hour from 330-7, with discounted drinks and $3.75 maki rolls! I will be back soon to test that out :)

    Asian karaoke is the best
    Brett F.

    Last night a few friends and I had a couple of beers and, of course, had an irresistible urge to sing karaoke. A google search brought up Ginza Town. After much head scratching about what a Ginza is (a district in Tokyo), we called around 9 pm. The woman who answered said that they close at 10 but would stay open for us. Perfect! Ginza Town is next to Papa Johns on Forest Ave, not far from the Samuels area. It's one of those places you drive by hundreds of times and never know exist. We got there around 9:15 on a Friday and there was one other large party celebrating a birthday. The owner also was celebrating his birthday and joined the other party. He didn't speak English but brought us a free bottle of Sake. I loved this place already. Ginza Town for me is "Bubba's Awesome." Meaning it's probably terrible but I love it. [4/2/16 Edit: the food rocks! Nothing is terrible about this place at all!] Wireless mics are hooked up to a decent sound system and a flat screen tv. They play karaoke from Youtube, which sounds like it would be awful but worked extraordinarily well. Before long we were best friends with the large party, belting cheesy 80s ballads while chugging $3.75 containers of Sake. Considering each one held 3.5 Sake shots, it's a killer value. We had already eaten, but the other party must have had the entire menu brought on platters to their table. It looked and smelled amazing and I was able to try the chicken wings and duck breast. Very tasty. I will definitely be coming back for food. So, awesome karaoke in an Asian restaurant/bar with dirt cheap Sake on Forest Ave? I know, it sounds too good to be true, but luckily it's not.

    Happy hour only on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesday's :/

    I was conflicted between choosing between my go to sushi spot or trying out Ginza Town for the first time. My boyfriend and I decided on Ginza, and I think we found our new cheap sushi place. We came around lunch time on a Wednesday and was told that we could choose where we'd like to sit. The waitress gave us a menu and brought out waters immediately. The menu selection is pretty big ranging from Vietnamese pho, hot pot, and sushi. My boyfriend got the bento box lunch special with beef teriyaki, gyoza, wakame (seaweed salad), and a spicy tuna roll. I decided on the 3 deluxe sushi rolls with a spicy crunchy tuna, an eel, and a spicy crunchy scallop. As we waited for the food to come out, we saw that they have happy hours from 3:30-6. Was kind of disappointed when we found out they only have it on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesday evenings :/ The food came out pretty quickly since there was only one other group besides us. (Each of our meals also came with miso soups)My boyfriend absolutely loved his bento box. The gyozas were pretty standard but yummy, and, although he didn't like it, I loved the seaweed salad. The tuna didn't seem that fresh if I'm going to be completely honest... it had a greyish tint to it and wasn't that pink/red. The eel roll was yummy, but what will have me coming back will be the spicy crunchy scallop. This was mine and my boyfriend's favorite part of the whole meal. Each roll came with 8 pieces, and they filled me up. We were both stuffed by the end of it. Wish they'd offer happy hour a on Thursdays as well but I'll have to come back another time to get some of the shumai and crap ragoons. Update: I feel like every time I come here there's something that always pops up that kind of gives me a "hmmm" thought... Since quarantine, this has been one of the only sushi spots (that I usually eat at) that's still doing take out. I typically get the deluxe three roll combo lunch deal with two spicy crunchy scallops and a spicy crunchy tuna roll. What I like about this place that stands out from other sushi spots is that Ginza has 8 pieces in each roll opposed to 6 (which is the typical size of a majority of other restaurants), so I feel like I'm getting more bang for my buck. I love eating tuna rolls (they're my favorite), but there is something off with the tuna rolls here, and I feel that it is not as fresh as other spots in Portland. I now get two spicy crunchy scallops and one eel roll in the three roll combo for $12 and change, and it never fails to be delicious! I don't know what it is about their scallop rolls, but it always has me coming back for more. I love the crunchy bits in the rolls, and the spicy mayo always sends me to another universe. For $12?? Yes please!

And the ice cream toastie, which had been highly recommended, was very good and unique! As for the disappointing - my main complaint was with the sushi rolls... I was bothered that the sushi was essentially standard roll, one that I can get at other sushi restaurants, with a squirt of a sauce for an extra like 5 or 6 dollars. I always very disappointed with the tuna nachos. They sounded and looked appealing but lacked anything that really made me want to order them again. All in all, I liked it - but it left something to be desired in my opinion. I think going forward, Mr. Tuna will be reserved for Tuna de Tigre and Ice Cream Toasties (and the Handrolls form their food trucks at concerts and festivals)!

The sushi sashimi special for 2 at $60 is a steal: you get 15 pieces of sashimi, a 9-piece spicy tuna roll and a rainbow roll on top of that. No, they don't skimp on the sashimi. Salmon, tuna, yellowtail. Oh, and yes, you get the miso soup and salad on top of that. I'm always surprised when I go in to find that every seat is not filled at this spot.

One of the biggest changes has been the complete turnover of the staff. All of the original people who made the place welcoming and enjoyable seem to be gone, and the difference has absolutely shown in both the service and overall experience. The food quality has become inconsistent and, at times, marginal compared to what originally brought us in. We've also dealt with repeated order mistakes, inattentive service, and an overall lack of attention to detail during several recent visits. Everyone understands that restaurants can have an off night, but this has become a pattern rather than an exception. What was especially disappointing was that we took the time to privately contact ownership about these concerns and never received any response at all. We weren't looking for compensation or special treatment, just acknowledgment and some indication that customer feedback mattered. Kume had a lot of promise when it first opened, which makes this frustrating to write. Unfortunately, based on our recent experiences, the quality control, consistency, and customer service are no longer close to where they once were.
