Sadly, this meal was disgusting. The Beef Negimaki was absolutely repulsive. It was like shoe leather. The hibachi chicken was so dry and had no taste. The Shumai was mid at best. The sushi was run of the mill. We had to delivered so can't really comment on the ambiance or service. I really would not recommend. read more

Live local to this restaurant, and finally made it in. The left side of the restaurant is the hibachi side, and to the right is a smaller restaurant side. The inside is nice and clean. Quick and friendly, helpful service. I ordered the lunch special which came with soup, salad, a roll, and five pieces of chef choice sushi. I'm not a fan of salmon, but the other sushi I had was delicious. I believe they were tuna, whitefish, sea bass, and yellowtail. Also got my husband some chicken fried rice to go which also came with soup and salad. My cousin also got a lunch special, and I tried her clear soup- so good. All of this and the bill was just about $40. Will definitely come back again and try hibachi side with my husband. read more

We were told at 5:45pm that Hibachi was unavailable. I can see them saying there's a wait, but not unavailable!!!

Ginza is my go to sushi restaurant. They have great lunch deals to get a large amount of food for a cheap price. The rolls are delicious and so are the sauces. The service is great, my food comes out fast and my water is always being filled. I definitely recommend. read more

The food was alright, definitely not the best in the area. If you haven't had Fumiyama Sushi (just a few mins North on 35) - trust me, just go there. Its amazing. Service was awful. I came in to get my food and the woman just stood there at the register, removing large bills from the tip jar, counting them, and putting them away (ignoring me obviously) It was only 8 pm - not close to closing time at all. Do yourself a favor and try one of the amazing other options nearby! No photos because nothing looked to great hahah read more

The best! So many hot entrees and sushi selections. I never get tired of the food here. It has become our go-to place for going out (or just taking out!) read more

Stay far far away. This fish is very fake. You've been warned. I understand that any All-You-Can-Eat place is to be questioned but I decided to try this place anyway. I was really craving sushi and I decided to take the easy way out and go to a place like this. I was upset with the quality of the fish, if it was even real fish, but then again I can only blame myself for expecting more out of $25. read more

Friday is Hibachi day at work and Ginza is the place of choice for everyone. So I was kinda excited!! So, I called in the 2 item order and proceeded to navigate the gauntlet of West Park Ave.. Now, this is important-- when I placed my order I said I would be there in about 10-15 minutes, the lady on the phone said, no 20-30 minutes. I commented, I'm on lunch, maybe I should cancel my order and come try another time, thank you, she said," WHAT???? YOU THINK THIS WILL JUST BE READY IN 5 MINUTES?? HUH??? YOU CAN COME HERE AND SIT HERE AND WAIT!! Yes she yelled into the phone.. I said okay, at this point I'm tired, I've been up since 4am, it's almost 1:30pm and just don't care.. in hindsight I should have cancelled. I arrived pretty quick, but heed her comment and wait in my car the appropriate 20 minutes, I walked in and asked for my order, I figured it had to be ready, it wasn't ready. So I said, okay I'll just pay and wait. I paid and stood by the door, because tables are for customers dining in. ..and wait I did..... and waited.... and waited...and waited.. tick-toc I see my lunch hour blowing away like dust in the hot Santa Ana winds....and I realize, "WEST PARK AVE...." I asked, is it ready? like at any point? is this EVER gonna be ready? the restaurant has 4 tables that have patrons and 3 sushi chefs..... its not packed, its not busy, there is NO brisk "To-Go" ordering going on....hmmm I asked again, because now, I'm gonna be late and won't be eating any lunch at all.. she asks the other girl server if my order is ready, and I know this, because the question contained, specifically the items in my order & then they side eye looked at me, the girl had the OHNOOO look.. yes ladies, you ladies forgot about my order. Imagine that!! That whole throwing of the shade -- "What? you want it in 5 minutes..?" is now at over 20 minutes, but okay, I'll wait, I mean how long can this take, they are probably just finishing it up. But like a bad TV ADD-- "Wait there's more!!.... the lady walks up to me and puts her finger into my face and says, "1 more minute, okay?! 1 more minute!" it will be ready!. Okay. I get it, 1 more minute. 30min We are now at 40 minutes, people!! 40 minutes! I am waiting... and I just happen to turn around and look at the sushi chefs area, the finger pointing lady walks over, grabs what looks like my order that has been, sitting there for lord knows how long, hands it to the girl server, who rushes past me into another back area, as I look, yep, that was my order... and I wait.......... you still waiting with me???? wait for it... 10 minutes later. we are at the 50 minute mark--- my order comes out-- I'm like don't bag it just hand it off like a football, but nope- Then the reverent bagging begins and then the stapling of the ticket to the the bag and thennnn the readingggg of the orderrrrr... yes- yes- yes come onnnnnn WE ALL KNOW IT'S MY DANG ORDER, EVERYONE HERE KNOWS IT MY ORDER, EVERYONE IN OCEAN COUNTY KNOWS IT MY ORDER, THE LIE DETECTOR ON MAURY POVICH SAYS THIS IS MY ORDER, EVERYONE WEST OF THE ROCKIES KNOWS THAT HELLMAN'S IS BEST FOODS AND THAT THIS IS MY ORDER--- THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW THIS IS MY ORDER? YOU!! I book my chubby ass out of Ginza jump "literally" into my sweet ride, put my WAZE on and see I have exactly 5 minutes to get back to work. Oh did I eat it? well yes, eventually, I took 2 bites and realized, the eel wasn't cooked properly, the rice was grainy and ....it was just terrible. Never again. Ever. read more

Finally we decided to venture out to another Japanese restaurant instead of our tried and true neighborhood Japanese restaurant, Asia Star. We had passed the Ginza Japanese restaurant many times and thought "lets try it" and we did. It's a busy restaurant for in house diners as well as having a brisk business for take out. The staff is busy almost too busy as they seem oblivious to anyone coming into the restaurant. There is no greeting or recognition that you might want a table. We were seated without an exchange of conversation except follow me. My husband ordered a healthy meal i.e., Salmon Teriyaki. It came with miso soup, and a salad with a great dressing and broccoli. I ordered a "box." This came with beef teriyaki ,California roll and dumplings as well as miso soup and salad. Oh yes, deep fried shrimp and vegetables was also included. Lots of well prepared food by an excellent chef for a very reasonable price. But I did miss the warmth and friendliness of our neighborhood Japanese Restaurant, Asia Star Both restaurants, however, offer the best of Japanese cuisine. You can't go wrong with either of these establishments. read more

My favorite place to order hibachi, I can get two meals and it's enough to share w my whole family. Then we get a couple sushi rolls and they are fast and friendly!! read more

This is a great spot to pick up lunch for take out, etc. The sushi is very tasty and fresh. The price is very fair for what you receive. I had a nice interaction with the staff when I went to pick up my sushi. The woman was very helpful and upbeat. Overall, a positive experience and I hope to be back soon. read more

How the hell does this place have 3 stars? This is the best sushi on the Jersey shore!!!!! Where do I start? The fish always tastes super fresh. It's always the right temperature. I love the rice. I just ate a tuna sushi, which was probably the best I ever had in my life. If I had more money, I'd order another dinner tonight!!!!!!! I have no pics because we ate it all. Love love love ginza!!!!! read more

Put into Yelp a Hibachi place on our way home from the beach and this place came up. What a lucky find! The staff was so friendly, the food delicious, and their lunch specials were awesome! Definitely recommend and will be going back! read more

Sorry have eaten here since you opened. Tonight you fed me cucumber skins instead of actual cucumber in my sushi. I told the waitstaff. You should have taken it off the bill. Will not come back as I feel like you fed me what should have gone in the garbage and then would not make it right when I brought to your attention. Bad business model. read more

Good sushi, nice little spot and cozy inside. Love the lady (owner?) who works the front often. She's so nice and helpful, always takes care of you. Overall just a great place to get sushi. Always pretty busy so you know the turnover is good for food (aka fresh). Not sure what the one review that states "fish is fake" ??? The only fake fish on the menu is imitation crab meat, and if you only order California rolls then that's your own fault. Love ginza! Great lunch specials! read more

Best Sushi and Japanese food in NJ, hands down! I LOVE Japanese food. I eat it multiple times per week for the last several years. I've eaten japanese food all over NJ, NY, VT, and pretty much everywhere I've travelled. This place is phenomenal in every aspect. The wait staff is friendly. The owner is extremely nice. If there are any problems with your order (which is extremely rare) they are more than happy to correct them. The sushi is always super fresh & very high quality fish. They will make custom sushi (for example cutting a roll into 10 or 12 pieces - a request that many japanese restaurants tell me they CAN'T do, but Ginza does without a problem). They are also extremely reasonably priced. Their appetizers and main courses are just as good as their sushi. Everything is extremely reasonably priced and the presentation is beautiful. The pictures here on yelp is really what you get. Each sushi is presented as a piece of art! It's wonderful! All of their food is top quality ingredients. The beef is LEAN. It's fantastic. Not fatty at all. The interior of the restaurant is very pretty and CLEAN. They are constantly decorating. The restaurant is BYOB. Somewhat recently they put in a few hibachi tables. Their habachi is just as good (if not better) than anywhere else in the area AND it is significantly cheaper with bigger portions. They put on a great show as well. Some things I highly recommend ordering: Beef Tataki appetizer, Yellow tail avacado roll, Habachi fried rice, Edamame, Beef teriyaki bento box. If I could give this place more than 5 stars I would. I will continue to eat here multiple times per week for as long as I live in this area! read more

Very big menu sushi and hibachi. Sushi is good. The hibachi portions are generous. I wanted a small salad but was told they only served large ones. The service is fast. We had dessert and the fried ice cream cold have been more well done. Lots of parking. read more

Orders sashimi deluxe and they did not provide any wasabi or ginger. When I called back to have them address the issue they did not answer the phone. 5 calls no answer. read more

Great food, go to spot with friends. Sushi is incredible and so is the hibachi. Highly recommend going

Decided to go here on a Monday night. There was a line at the door, the hostess proceeded to greet the couple in front of me and the group behind me. She looked directly at me and proceeded to ignore me. Only go here if you like to be ignored or get food poisoning from their sushi pizza. Disgusting read more

I've been trying sushi restaurants around my New Jersey area since I moved here a few months ago. The only reason why this one doesn't get five stars is because the service was not very good. We had to go grab our own menus because the waitress wasn't. I haven't been to many yet but Ginza had to be my favorite so far! Their green salad dressing is very good and their bacon shrimp appetizer was so good!! Also I got the "Crispy Spicy Roll" and it was the best sushi roll I've gotten between the four restaurants I've tried. I really liked this restaurant. read more

Went with my fiancé last Friday night. We were greeted by a young girl, maybe 5? She brought us to our table and everything...probably the only awkward thing to happen all night. Pam (my fiancé) ordered the homemade strawberry bubble tea and we had the yakitori & edamame appetizers. After which we had some sushi, all of which was incredible (pictures have been added) - and the extra details on plating gave them that edge. Finally some tonkatsu & soba, most of which came home with us due to the large portions (not that I'm complaining!). All in all, very enjoyable and we'll most likely be returning - as long as next time we're greeted & seated by an adult (as cute as it was). read more

Ginza. When you look where it's at it doesn't look like much but when you go in you are greeted with smiling faces from the hosts and the guests. Their hibachi set up is exquisite with great chefs. Their sushi bar is the best in town (it might not say much because it's New Jersey but I doubt you can find anywhere better) I have been going here for the past three years and it's only gotten better and better. Knowing these people and how they work it only gets more fascinating. Everything on the menu is terrific. It's hard to get off of 1 sushi roll but then you try the next and it just gets better and better. I can't wait for my next visit and I hope to see any of you there. read more

Ginza is hands down the BEST sushi in the area. Do not go anywhere else. Everywhere else is overpriced and not as good.

Terrible service!!! we weren't treated right but they ask for a tipaftee they left us and never come back

Worst all you can eat sushi place. They charge extra if you don't finish your food, which I completely understand for the sushi and fish, but when you have a very small amount of WHITE RICE left on your plate and they charge for that, it is unprofessional and bad business. They are always rude, never say hello when you walk in the door and I have seen less and less people coming here, which doesn't surprise me with the way they treat their customers. We will NOT be returning here. read more

Ginza Japanese Restaurant - The "extra" food they charged us for not eating - Japanese Near Me - Ocean Township, New Jersey

I ordered $50 of Sushi. We couldn't even eat ot bc it was extra fishy and smelled so bad. Put me off Sushi for awhile. $50 thrown.in the garbage. read more

The food here is great but the waitresses are rude. It's really bittersweet. You go and pay $21 a person for sushi and they take your order with an attitude. Over $100 for a family of 5. Then they check if you need drink refills constantly during your first plate. But then when you try to order your second plate the waitress takes forever to come over. They make no substitutions what so ever. Avocado comes in almost every roll. But if you ask for it in a roll that is doesn't come in, they just blatantly say no. There is no sense of hospitality or friendly customer service. read more

All you can eat is Sun-Tues only. But sushi was good. Great presentation on platters. Very nice atmosphere with awesome staff and terrific customer service. Sushi was priced between $10 - $20 per specialty rolls, there is hibachi as well. Fried rolls were light and all the rolls we tried went down smoothly with great taste. Definitely recommend this place! read more

The food was fine, but my biggest gripe is that my friend and I were treated like absolute garbage by the owner. As my friend and I were waited to be seated, two girls walked in behind us and asked for a table. They were immediately seated on a Saturday. We were completely overlooked and there were no tables left. We waited for another 20 minutes when the manager asked us to stop standing by the front desk because "we were blocking the entry" and relegated us to the lobby with a super nasty "thank you". I hope that she reads this to remember how to treat people who spend money at your establishment. read more

Awful service, very good food!!! We came with 6 years old kids and the main thing for as was the feed them. We were very hungry as well. My brother has been here before and ask about the same plate, for the kids, what was look like the sesame chicken. The answer was: it not a Chinese Place!!!!(With attitude, and walk away to chat with another waiters, next to our table..? How stupid the question is.). How ride is it!?! NICE :))) We ware ready to leave and stay just because of the hungry kids... We ordered chicken and noodles for the kids it is comes separately, first chicken 10 min later noodles... we ordered teriyaki and hibachi rolls and appetizers the firs what given to as was soup salad, in a couple of min appetizers with rolls for my brother when he was almost done with his rolls they bring plate for me, and 2 min later for my husband.... Terrible... By the way, food were very good, but we did not enjoy it because of the girl which served as. read more

I eat out often and very rare do I leave reviews but tonight I witnessed a family who was by far beyond rude to the servers. Never ending nagging and request to require fresh chop sticks, new sauce dish and mayo each time another roll came out and then to have the audacity to complain about every other dish that came out. I was a former waiter in college and maybe that is what pushed me to Log on and write this as I just can't fall asleep seeing what you did. I write this because from where I was sitting they not only put up with all your request with a SMILE but the one lady played with your not so well behaved children. You have every right to your opinion and review as we all do however to flash your yelp screen in the there faces when leaving clicking a one star review truly shows your level of class. Learn some manners and show some respect towards others. Learn to set a good example for your family because tonight you displayed a level of rudeness that no individual should have to be subjected to. I felt bad not only for the server but your family as well. - read more

Ginza is one of our go to restaurants when we want sushi, for dine in or takeout. It's casual, they're pretty quick in getting you in and out, and the food is delicious. We like it so much we've even been to their other location in Toms River a few times. I don't think we've ever had a roll we didn't like. We LOVE the ocean roll, the blue moon roll, and their all you can eat is totally worth it.The only downsides, keeping me from giving 5 stars, are the tables can be a little close together, and the staff can be a little abrupt. They're always busy so there's usually a wait, but none of these reasons have stopped us from coming back many many times. read more

All you can eat sushi for $21.95 on Sunday, Monday & Tuesday is amazing. Very fresh fish. It includes soup, salad, your choice of all you can eat appetizers as well as ice cream. Lunch specials before 3:30pm are probably a better value than all you can eat sushi. For $11.95 you get a bento box and they also have sushi roll combos pick 2 rolls for $8.95 or 3 for $11.95 read more

I don't know, man. I've had better sushi. Everyone always goes bonkers over how amazing Ginza is. I've been here twice now and each time I'm like, "Meh." However, I'll say that they have a rad deal for lunch where it's soup, salad (which is baller, by the way) and three rolls for like $10 and change. So, you know, I'd go for lunch for my cheap sushi fix, but that's about it. read more
