Ginban Sushi - Spider roll & poke salad Yummy - Sushi Bars Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Ginban Sushi is fantastic, best sushi and Japanese restaurant in Ahwatukee. It is a quiet location with great parking. The sushi is 10/10, rivals high end restaurants - the Spicy Girl roll is my absolute favorite. A really awesome option is the bento boxes, you can get Chicken Katsu with california rolls and rice and gyoza. It is really a nice take out home run! Add in a roll and you got one of the best meals you can get! read more

My go to Japanese restaurant in that area. The only time we had a little problem was when ordered thru Uber Eat, it took over 90 minutes to arrive. After that, I always pick up the food myself. Don't want the long wait through a third party and risk food poisoning. read more

Came here for the first time today and wow, what a disappointment. When I walked in the restaurant was completely empty (not a good sign when it's 5:15 pm and right in the middle of happy hour). I was greeted by a woman and sat at the sushi bar. I ordered a drink and she walked away. Never came back. Instead, she went to the host stand and began talking on the phone and taking multiple phone calls. She also proceeded to help someone else who came in to order a take out order. All of this happening while I sit here without my drink or even a water. Off to an awful start. A man eventually took my order from behind the sushi bar and my drink appeared 10 minutes after I arrived. I ordered a house salad, edamame, salmon nigiri and a spicy salmon roll. House salad: 1 star. Lettuce looked old and dry, dressing was very bland. I bit into what should have been a cucumber and it was zucchini. It was so squishy it completely dissolved when I bit it. I spit it out because I'm allergic to squash. I asked to return it and have it taken off the bill. The woman basically called me a liar and said "it's cucumber" grabbed the salad and angrily walked away. Edamame: 1 star. I ordered the original off the HH menu but I was given some slimy, teriyaki flavored edamame. I ate a few of them, but again, very bland sauce. Salmon nigiri: 2 stars. It was okay, decent size. The rice was way too warm and fell apart. Spicy salmon roll: 2 stars. Small, bland, not spicy, the rice overpowered the roll, way too much. Between the quality of food, mix up in the order and the poor service I would never return. There is WAY better sushi in the Ahwatukee area. Don't make the same mistake I did trying the place out on a whim. Even Sushi Ken blows this place out of the water... and that's not saying much. ** I was inclined to give 1 star, but I gave two stars because the man behind the sushi counter was pretty nice and they didn't charge me for my edamame since they messed up. read more

We called ahead on a busy Saturday night and they accommayed our large order no problem. They had it ready to go in no time. Food was really delicious and the service was great. Would definitely recommend and return! read more

great service and food :) been eating and ordering from here for about a year now and I have no complaints.

Our favorite go-to sushi place. Reasonably priced, good portions, and plenty of options. We always get multiple rolls and appreciate that they offer simple rolls since we don't eat all types of seafood. The fried rice and yaki soba are super delicious! Miso soup is an excellent add on. Highly recommend!! read more

Ordered an adult Benito box with tempura and salmon teriyaki and received a child's meal without the the salmon, salad and salad. We have been avid supporters of the establishment but when I called them about the mixup they argued with me. We supported this establishment through covid 19 and years beyond! Disappointed in the response tonight. We will be moving our business to another sushi restaurant in the area. read more

DO NOT EAT HERE !!!!!!!!!!! I usually love sushi and I'm not one to complain if something is a little off but my roommate and I ordered from here (mind you she is vegetarian and I am not) both her veggie roll and my dragon roll were placed in the same box but we let that slide. Getting home and trying to eat our food I had to spit it out because of a "gritty" taste in my mouth and turns out it was GLASS in my food! Never will I ever step food in this place again. Be safe with what you put in your mouth!!!! read more

Hit or miss. Sometimes something special but most times an epic fail. I recently tried their keto friendly sushI roll with cucumber instead of rice, superb. But an eel roll with rice was terrible and only four pieces. I also tried the soba chicken bowl with little spice, this was terrible. There were little vegetables and the chicken was rubbery. I doubt we will ever be back. read more

Gross, nothing tastes very fresh.. not even the chicken No flavor in the rolls. Sashimi gritty & overpriced read more

I had the scorpion roll and it was delicious! That's about all I can say about my visit. I'll be back to try a bento box though because it looked delicious! read more

Came here for date night and everything was amazing! We split a bottle of sake, ordered about 4 rolls and some sashimi and everything was super fresh, the portions were pretty hearty, and the service was amazing. This is definitely our go to spot now. I highly recommend getting the quail egg sashimi, it's a great little snack to start things off read more

The sushi was decent, the fried rice was ok but the beef in it was way over cooked and tough...the garlic edamame had very little garlic flavor in it...potstickers were average, would have upped it to a 3 star but we ordered our food at 6:15, called the establishment at 7:00 noting our food hadn't been picked up yet, they said they were very busy...never got our food till around almost 8:00...1-1/2-2 hours is kind of ridiculous even for a Yelp delivery... read more

We stumbled upon this place on New Year's Day. It was pretty difficult finding a restaurant that was open on this day and on our way to the Chandler outlets. We stopped at a restaurant before this one and it was jampacked! I was not about to wait so I found this place - luckily! When we walked in, the restaurant was empty. I was surprised because the ambiance is trendy. I didn't care though and proceeded to order the Volcano roll and Hawaiian roll. Both were fabulous! I also ordered the tempura red bean ice cream and that one was a fail. The bowl that it came in was too small and the ice cream was so hard that it felt like it was in the freezer for months. However, the sushi did hit the spot and they probably saved me from eating at a chain fast food restaurant (yuck). If you are in the area, I definitely think you should try this place! read more

Ginban Sushi - Volcano and Hawaiian rolls - Sushi Bars Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Despite my little sister's "sushi in a strip Mall" fears, this place is 5 stars all the way! We had the jalapeño yellowtail - which was so good we thought Tiny Angels flew it in! Then the Hawaiian Roll - light and spicy - very delicious with super yummy crunchies on top! The salmon sashimi was melt-in-your-mouth great! The best roll? A reward for rolling the dice with the Pikichu roll. It has tempura banana... if you can imagine the most sweet & savory sushi bite... CRAZY good! If you are in the Wild Horse vicinity, do NOT miss this! read more

Ginban Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Was on lunch break with my co works and find this 4 start rated place, was exited to try stuff out and only found disappointment. One of my co work and I ordered the bento box lunch, I had chicken teriyaki and he had beef teriyaki; I hate to say it, but it's probably the worst chicken teriyaki I have ever had in Arizona (so far). I feel like I can cook better chicken teriyaki at home, it literally taste like the meat was microwaved and the teriyaki sauce was so light I can barely taste it. I have been to Japan number of times, visited San Francisco Seattle New York Boston and more, even Minnesota have better bento boxes, and that state is no where near the ocean. I gave it 2 stars because the sushi roll was okay. If you visit this place just for sushi I'll say go for it, it's not the best but it's fine. One more thing, for the waitress who served us, I took 1 start off because of you. If a customer tell you that they don't like the food because it doesn't taste good, don't fight with them (like you did today), especially when they are the customer, just say I'm sorry you don't like it we will try to improve next time :) read more

I am not one to usually review but for the sake of others fooled to go in like I did due to currently having 4 stars I must warn those that actually like quality sushi. We sat at the sushi bar. I ordered 2 rolls and boyfriend ordered Bento box teriyaki chicken with shrimp tempura as he is not a sushi fan which comes with salad, soup, California roll, and gyoza $16. I then noticed some of the fish at the sushi bar were wrapped in paper towels! That was a first. The restaurant was fairly empty so didn't expect to wait long for food or appetizers but it was 20 minutes before food arrived without the soup or salad. The waitress hadn't even stopped by in that time and had to be notified by the sushi chef (after WE informed him soup and salad we're missing). She giggled embarrassed and said she forgot them. The sushi chefs did not interact with us the entire time (we were the only ones at the sushi bar) and did not even notice we were not served soup or salad before serving us our meals. As far as food quality goes: Miso soup was subpar and bland in miso flavor. Salad subpar in presentation and dressing taste/texture. Teriyaki chicken very bland and subpar in flavor to even fast food teriyaki. Shrimp tempura was rubbery and freezer burned flavor Rolls subpar due to bland flavorless rice and poor overall fish quality/taste. I have never seen spicy tuna the color of bright red Koolaid in all my sushi experiences. (Pictured) Only decent thing about the place was the gyoza and clean environment. So many better places and should not be rated as high as my two so far favorites Shimogamo or Hana. read more

Ginban Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Very disappointed in my takeout order. Not going to lie only came here because our favorite local place was randomly closed last Sunday evening. Huge mistake. Ordered nigiri, two rolls, and a couple hand rolls. The quality of the fish was decent-good which is the only reason this review is 2 stars. The handrolls were covered in tempura flakes, to the point you couldn't taste the fish, and contained hardly any rice. The nigiri had too much rice and was poorly constructed. The rolls looked like a novice made them, and were falling apart. For the rainbow roll, they used a whole crab stick instead of making it into surimi salad, which was cheap and lame. Grocery stores do better. Won't be back. Also it gave me a stomach ache. read more

Try the Spicy Miso Soup! Some of the best in town. The sushi is always fresh, delicious, and served promptly. 10/10 recommend it if you're into sushi. read more

We had very Good fast service. Great recommendations provided by our server. Our rolls were all well sized and flavorful

I've ordered from Ginban a couple of times. Last night was the last time. I ordered a bento box with shrimp tempura and miso soup. All of it was subpar, lacked flavor and freshness. The chicken was so hard I couldn't chew it. I would argue that it was frozen and completely dried out. The soup had the tiniest chunks of tofu that were muddled by a bland broth. Don't be fooled by their menu. It may sound good, but the cheap comes out expensive. read more

The only reason this place is getting a one start is their food. Their food in phenomenal every time we order so we decided to go in person. A family next to us had ordered at the same time as us and got their food before us, weird right? At this point it's been an hour or longer and the family beside us has already finished eating. We asked them when our order would be coming because at this point we were just about to leave we were so over it. They tell us that they haven't even started on our order. HAVEN'T EVEN STARTED!!! They then tell us to just leave. Obviously we were the only people of color in this restaurant and the only ones who had this terrible experience. Racism at its absolute finest. read more

Fast services, not crowded, it's clean. The food was fresh and delicious definitely coming back

My family and I are looking for a new sushi spot and we'll continue to look. Everything was meh. Servings were generous but dishes were expensive. Prices showed one thing on the menu/happy hour menu but got a few surprises on the tab. read more

I order this all the time when I'm in Tempe for work. Sushi is FRESH and delicious. The yakisoba is some of the best out there! Wish I was there now.... read more

Very good taste and variety. Waiter was super helpful. Good variety Will definitely return. Especially liked the ground wasabi.

The food and the service here was good! I went here yesterday with a couple of friends and wanted to see what this place was like. When we walked in we got a table right away, it wasn't busy at all maybe a few people were there but that's it. The server came up and asked for our drinks right away. She was really nice as well! We had a big order so our food didn't come out until 20 min later which was fine. I got the cold tofu appetizer, Alaska hand roll, Boston hand roll, bento box with chicken katsu and gyoza, and the king lobster specialty roll. The hand rolls were really big! Very filling! Highly recommend! The cold tofu sauce was a little bland and there was no Benito flakes on it, which it said it comes with. The katsu tasted like really good chicken nuggets so I recommend getting that too! The king lobster roll was just alright, that I don't highly recommend because you can't taste the lobster since it's deep fried! But overall I would recommend this place to at least try it out because everyone has different experiences! And I just do happen to get a good one! read more

Decent, something that's close by.. been here a couple times and never had bad experience.. my boyfriend likes the yakisoba here. Their ramen is okay but nothing out of the ordinary and sushi is okay .. it's something close to crave my sushi craving whenever I want sushi and I don't want to drive to DOZO lol read more

Would 100% recommend- everything is perfectly cooked. We ordered fried calamari, garlic edamame, squid, salad, fried rice, spicy miso, shrimp and chicken teriyaki, dynamite roll, tiger roll and a benzo box- everything was perfect. Portions are very generous and the service is amazing. We are visiting from Mexico and look forward to coming back. Thank you!!! read more

Small hole in the wall. Super cute. Wait staff is courteous and maintained social distancing but they didn't check in on us at all during dinner. Maybe they were just under staffed but there were only 4 occupied tables. Food was okay. I had the tuna sashimi, can rangoons, garlic edamame, California rolls and the salt and pepper shrimp. They breaded and deep fried the shrimp without peeling it... kinda weird since you have to peel off the breading to eat it. The California rolls were pretty fishy tasting like the imitation crab meat You buy at the grocery store. The garlic sauce was sticky and surprisingly not very flavorful. Crab rangoons and tuna sashimi were awesome though! All in all, not great. read more

It was ok to me. Miso soup was good as someone else mentioned. Ate the 3-3-3 sushi platter which had 3 maguro, 3 hamachi, 3 salmon. Maguro was ok, hamachi was not as fatty as it should of been but the salmon was really good. It came with 6 pieces of spicy tuna roll, which was ok, not spicy enough for my taste. In my opinion, had too much rice in that platter combination. Since it was happy hour, I tried the gyoza, don't bother, had no taste. Lastly, the sushi had no wasabi in it as it usually does, so I had to ask for extra. I don't think I'll go back unless I am starving. read more

The sushi was very delicious. The service was very good, we will come again next time.

Sunday lunch, wife and I looking for a new sushi place. Both ordered bento dinner box. Online menu says 10$, but not available Sunday, when it's 16$. Atmosphere nice, but was too warm for our comfort. Soup and salad pretty good. My sashimi....... average tasting. Tempura veggies were soggy and greasy. Tempura shrimp not a light dry batter. Gyoza, pretty good. California roll, average. Service satisfactory, but not much more. Overall, this won't be our New sushi place. read more

Great local neighborhood sushi spot! Love these guys. Fresh quick and nice prices. Only thing I would mention is the Tom yum seafood soup is very weak all broth very little seafood. read more

I'm not sure what to say. We have always liked Ginban and it's very conveniently located for us. We went there regularly with our family of four. This weekend we ordered dinner from them via Doordash for our very hungry, very tired crew, for delivery. 45 minutes later the Doordash driver texted us saying that Ginban had not started our order yet, but they were about to and it would take 15 minutes. Half an hour after that the Doordash driver called us and said Ginban decided not to process our order because they were too busy. Really?!? You couldn't have told us that AN HOUR AGO when the order was received?? Why are you enrolled in Doordash if you are not prepared to honor the orders? In short, they made us wait an unforgivable amount of time, with our driver literally sitting at the restaurant, only to tell us "no food for you". We called to talk to the manager and instead of making it right they reiterated they would not process our dinner order. So very disappointed. Extremely poor customer service and the food is not stellar enough to make up for it. We got our money back and will find another favorite Sushi restaurant. There are many with great reviews. read more

First time here. Came right after the gym. The ginger is cold. How it should be. Wasabi hot. But not to hot. I can either way on this. I like things spicy. Hot. Now for the Sushi. I had the Black Pepper Sashimi. It was light and good. Then the Shrimp and Evil Rolls. Also very good. The place nice and clean. Would come back again. And I live about 20 miles from here. If you are looking for a new place. This is a good one. read more
