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. read more

Went to Ginza Sushi for a small (party of 6) family get together for a weekend dinner. The place is very nice, clean and decorated well. The prices here are very fair! Just a couple of hiccups, but I'm sure this is not the norm. The person taking our order was very nice, but she seems to have had a difficult time with organizing our orders. Part of the order would arrive, but many did not. About 5 minutes later, a couple more things would arrive. Then she wasn't sure what we ordered and brought us another tables food. Then, everyone's complete order arrived, except for 1. Server kept saying that the last item is on the way, and it finally arrived as noisy of us were almost done eating. The food was good, but the cooks need to time the orders (it was not busy) but who knows, maybe there was only one cook that prepared all the meals. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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). read more

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. 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

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

Ginza Sushi - Alaskan Roll and Spicy Ahi Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

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

Amazing service and delicious food! We made a reservation for 13 at another restaurant but there were some glitches in their system so they didn't receive our res but could seat us at a time that didn't work so we were looking for nearby restaurants. Ginza Sushi looked good so I called ahead and asked if they could seat 13 people and they were more than accommodating. 5 minutes after I called and walked over, we were already seated and taken care of. The food was absolutely delicious. This is the best and authentic sushi I've ever tasted. Definitely worth the price! Russel was an amazing server as well! Very fast and great personality. Really made the experience better. I will be coming back again for sure! read more

The service was amazing and the food was excellent would definitely eat there everyday.

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

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

The spicy hamachi was cool and luckily had the drizzle or it would have been bland but fish tasted fresh. The garlic crunch was different and good because of the texture but ebi-ten was my favorite.

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

Ordered the combination, unagi and butter fish plate. Kind of pricey. Had to park in the Whole Foods parking garage to pick up my order.

I stopped in to Ginza for a quick meal on a Friday night. I don't think many people know that it moved from Ward Village on Auhai St. to a location between Gentleman's Warehouse and L&L on Kamakee, across from Whole Foods. After perusing the menu, I decided on the Nigiri Deluxe set which included miso soup, pickled appetizers, Nigiri and sashimi. It was delicious. If you're hungry, I'd suggest that item. I will be back for more soon. read more

Food: We ordered the 3 choice combo of chicken karaage, mixed tempura, soba and an order of spicy ahi don. The karaage batter was a little different than I'm used to but it was crunchy and tasty with the sauce. The tempura was decent and went well with the fresh noodles from the soba. The combo also came with miso soup, salad and ice cream. My favorite was the spicy ahi don. The sauce had a nice kick and the fish was fresh. Overall it's solid place to get japanese food. Service: It wasn't too busy so the waiter was very attentive and the food came out very quickly. Price: Being in Ward the rent must be very high so it makes sense that the prices are a little elevated. Ambiance: We ate outside since we had our dog. There were a lot of flies that we had to keep swatting away, but other than that it's a great place to sit and eat with our dog. read more

Kiddo requested sushi for her birthday and, after reading the reviews, we decided to check out Ginza Sushi. Greeted when we arrived and staff were friendly. Kiddo ordered 2 sushi rolls - Dragon and I forget what the other one was. Hubs ordered the Twister roll. We also ordered 2 combo dinners. Each combo dinner comes with rice, miso soup, salad, and ice cream. We ordered fish katsu, misoyaki butterfish, chicken karaage (out of chicken katsu), and spicy ahi. Everything arrived pretty quickly. First of all, with the exception of the chicken karaage, everything else was very good. The fish katsu arrived hot and crispy. Great portion of the spicy ahi and so good with the rice. The butterfish was so soft and great flavor. Kiddo and hubs enjoyed the rolls. As for the chicken, unfortunately, it tasted overcooked and appeared to be more batter than chicken. That was the only item we didn't like. However, we'd return again. read more

Thank you so much to Isabella for her great service and her father for preparing a wonderful meal! This family-owned restaurant makes you feel right at home with their great flavors and some unique sushi offerings! We came in right as they opened around 5:30 and had the place to ourselves. Because of this, Isabella was able to give us great recommendations based on our likes and dislikes. We ordered the Giyoza for my toddler and he tore it up-- ate the whole plate! As a non "real" sushi person, I typically go for a California roll, but since Ginza had some different rolls, I opted to try the Down and Under (chicken teriyaki) roll and the garlic crunch. Both were very good ! The Down and Under basically tasted like a chicken teriyaki bowl in a sushi roll and the Garlic Crunch is only 1 of 2 rolls I've had with fried garlic on top and it was wonderful! Halfway through my rolls, I realized I didn't order one that had crab in it, which made me kind of miss the crab meat, but what I ordered was still great. We also got appetizers -- the Hamachi Carpaccio, the scallop butteryaki and the free mini appetizer of edamame and vinegary veggies. My husband loved the carpaccio, he said it had a good spice to it and we both loved the scallops-- they were indeed buttery! My husband also got Ginza special and he enjoyed it-- he wanted a spicy roll and this was one of the spiciest options, however he thought the hamachi was spicier. At the end of the meal we also got a little free dessert of Ferraro Rochers and fruit snacks for my toddler-- very thoughtful ! We loved the service here and the food! Definitely recommend it. read more

Got 2 rolls (Avengers and the Bomb) for takeout and really enjoyed both - this is the exact type of sushi rolls I like, with creative garnishes/toppings and all. I would definitely come back but dine in person next time. We were told when ordering that it would take 30 minutes but had to wait an additional 15 once we arrived which wasn't optimal since we were on a time crunch, but we didn't have other issues besides that. Can't wait to try more delicious rolls next time! read more

Ginza Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Initial thought: give this sushi joint a 3 star review, but the server was really nice and cracked a few jokes, so I'll add another star. We must've come at an off-peak time, because no one was seated when we arrived. After us, a few more tables were occupied, but it didn't get too busy. However, I will say that the noise from other tables tend to ricochet off the walls, so you'll definitely hear everything the people around you are talking about. I kind of find this factor to be quite annoying since I can't focus on my own table's conversation. The banquet section is a bit of a tight squeeze, especially with the back pillow. I get that they're just trying to add some additional comfort while sitting there, but it makes the space a bit too snug to sit down. We had to remove them in order to dine comfortably. Like I mentioned earlier, the server was very friendly and made us laugh a few times throughout our meal. I had the salmon lover and Alaskan roll, and while they were tasty, the slices of salmon and avocado were quite thin for the price you're paying. I'm glad I didn't get food poisoning from here, but I did feel a bit nauseous from the fish while walking around the shopping center after lunch. Price wise, I don't think it's worth a trip back. For lunch, our total came to $121 and some change...like what?! It's not like we're dining at a 3 dollar sign restaurant in Waikiki or Kahala. This was just for our meals, no beverages, apps, or dessert. I don't even want to think about how much it would have been for dinner. read more

Beautiful restaurant in the heart of a bustling area. Tell me on is very beautiful inside. A blend of darker colors, gold, browns, and blacks. The the staff was very helpful as well as attentive to our needs. The food was good. The appetizer of calamari actually was better than the sushi rolls that we ordered. It maybe because I've experienced some really good sushi, but that doesn't mean that their sushi rolls are bad. They're just not as good as some that I've had. read more

the service was horrible. we were skipped during seating and when we got seated it took over 30 minutes just to order, and over an hour to get our food. on top of that, stray cats were coming into the restaurant and were fed before me and my family were fed. i guess the strays mean more than the customers. the restraint was beautiful and the setting was admirable. but the service and cats alone ruined it for me and i hope everyone else has a better experience. will not be eating here again. read more
