The service and attention to detail given is the best thing about Ginza Sushi. We Always feel taken care of and have no worries with their service. It was a nice cozy spot in the corner of the restaurant with pleasant music as ambiance. We ordered rolls and they came out pretty quick to when they were ordered. The flavor for each roll was good enough to get us to come back again. They may not be cheap but the value was good enough. Looking forward to our next time ordering! read more

Wonderful service. Good food selections. Nice ambiance. The food was delicious. Our group of seven had sushi dishes as well as katsu dishes. Everything was prepared perfectly. The chicken katsu and tonkatsu were not oily and fried just right. Prices were very reasonable for portion size too. Hidden gem. 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

I'm being generous giving 4 stars mostly because I stopped here just a little hungry and just got a rainbow roll. The fish was fresh but my main issue was the size of the fish on each piece was so small. I know rent at Ward Center must be expensive but jeez disappointing. Some pieces were like the size of a nickel. I had the same roll last week at Chiba-Ken, yes $2 more expensive but better value as it had nice thick pieces of maguro etc. I don't plan on returning just based on the value. read more

Why do I keep coming back to Ginza Sushi? The food and convenience of course! Ginza Sushi has a lot of options. The menu is extensive and kid friendly. I find that a win for little picky eaters. I went for lunch and ordered the dragon roll, sushi special and uni nigiri. The rolls at Ginza Sushi are always filling and delicious. The menu has a lot of pictures, which is good for helping you decide on what to order. My kiddo likes to look and order based on the menu photos. I've ordered different rolls at Ginza before but I always come back to the classic dragon roll. The sushi special was so good. It was a nice mix of nigiri and sashimi. The hamachi tastes so fresh. I find the sushi special a good value. My picky eater likes to eat the salmon sashimi. The day I went, there was a special on uni nigiri. The uni was so fresh and mouthwatering. It was a perfect way to end my meal. But wait...there's more. The owner of the restaurant came by to close out our bill. He gave each person at the table a Ferrero Rocher and gummy snacks for the kids. I thought that was very generous. read more

Quality sushi with very approachable menu and super friendly owner and staff. Clean, cozy atmosphere and easy take-out option as well!

I ate at Ginza sushi many times at the old location. They were always nice and gave good service. But the new location has the worst service! I got there at around 750 the server took our order. My mom got her food, I didn't get mine but figured it was just taking longer. Come to find out the girl didn't even get my order!!! I didn't get my food till 840 and they didn't even bring my miso soup or salad till 10 min after they served my meal so I couldn't even eat I had to get it to go. I'm so upset I didn't even get to eat dinner tonight because I got home so late and they also got my mom's order wrong and they didn't even comp anything, not even my drink. The girl who took our order made a mistake but was nice about it but the Asian server was rude and unapologetic. I will never go back to support this business. read more

I gave this place five stars for their friendly service and attentiveness. I visited twice in one week because I wanted to try more items on the menu, and it did not disappoint. The only small suggestion I have is that the soba/udon broth was a bit sweet for my taste, but everything else was great. I'll definitely be returning often. read more

Unfortunately we didn't make it past appetizers. We waited over 45 minutes and our order hadn't come yet. When we asked our server repeated times it was always it's coming out, 5 minutes. We paid for the appetizers then left. read more

Their new location is a lot more spacious than the old one, and the food is still amazing. I usually dine in but you can also call to take out. There's a good amount of seating and if you're a rolls fan, for sure check this place out. The service is always good, the prices are affordable, and they're quick with the food when I go so 10/10. Keep doing what you're doing Ginza Sushi! read more

Solid sushi joint with prices that are fair and you feel satisfied when leaving. The customer service is so good, from the welcoming hello to the here is your check, you can tell he was genuinely happy. We had several different dishes and they were all delicious. The hand rolls are a great value, they don't just stuff it with all rice. The ikura hand roll was so fresh, I'd come back just for that. The rolls are also sized right, the rice and seafood ratio is on point. The tempura batter is light and crispy. Salmon teriyaki wasn't too sweet and it had a nice charred bottom. The gyoza was pan fried and filled with meat and veggies. I believe we had the ginza special roll which had poke on top, get it. The fish is all very fresh and you won't regret your choice. They gave us some complimentary green tea ice cream and we were happy campers. Park across the street in the free garage and enjoy! read more

I stumbled upon Ginza Sushi, attracted by very pleasant interior design. It was very inviting. I went in and food was delicious. Great service and very pleasant personal. read more

I'm typically steered in the right direction by my fellow yelpers, but this place was a head scratcher. The service was great and the waitstaff has a sense of humor , which was nice. The food however was nothing near the high ratings. There was nothing wrong with it, but there wasn't anything special about it. The seafood was of moderate quality, the portions were average and the rice they used wasn't the typical sweet sushi rice. It was thinner and fell apart. If I was just judging it on the price and quality of the omacase it would be a 2 star. But the service and hamachi collar were good, thus, the 3 stars. read more

We've always passed this place but always wondered how it tastes. Smallish little restaurant with two tables to eat outside, which is nice. Lovely service! Thank you so much! We got the Spicy salmon poke and the Lunch nigiri set. Sushi is fresh and rice was great, not hard. Simple and fresh flavors. The spicy salmon poke was very flavorful and not too spicy. I might get that dish again. read more

This place was surprisingly hard to find (Google maps did not make it easy - it is on the outside of the mall!). It's a smaller restaurant and it was surprisingly pretty empty for a weekend, so I was hesitant at first. The servers were very nice and helpful (I had a lot of questions). The sushi was all fresh and very tasty. The only item we weren't a huge fan of were the fried gyozas which were included with Yelp check-in, and they are really skimpy on the avocado in the rolls (my cali roll had barely any). Despite that, if I lived here it would definitely be a regular sushi spot. read more

Parking at Ward is the best because it's free but you have to be skilled because the spaces are tight. Overall meh and I would not come back. Ginza is cute and I wanted to like it. It wasn't crowded at 11:30 and pretty sweet to find a table on a Saturday without reservations. But the rice is not Japanese rice, it's not seasoned, and the rolls are not very flavorful. Agedasgi Tofu: probably the best thing we ordered. Crispy rice flour batter and tasty sauce with bonito flakes Namasu Pickled Vegetables: too much on the sweet side Miso Soup: white miso like it came out of a packet Temaki hand rolls: too much mayo sauce Rainbow Roll: fish was jus okay The kicker out of the experience was the price. We could've eaten at Genki and gotten similar or better quality for cheaper. Or we could've eaten at Merriman's for nearly the same price. It was nice to support a little business but now we know. Also the chocolate and fruit gummies for kids is thoughtful but not every family wants to give their kids this kinda stuff so ‍ read more

Amazing place congrats to Russell. The food is always fresh and delicious and authentic... With visiting for superb dinner read more

Love their new location...beautifully furnished, great food and wonderful staff makes this a regular place for my wife and I...

Sushi here was 10/10. The fish was very fresh and I loved that the rolls had fresh ahi inside. The fish just melted in my mouth and every roll I tried had its own uniqueness to it. To top it off they have a tempura ice cream dessert that satisfies my craving for something sweet and savory. read more

Great accommodating and attentive service. We brought our pup and sat outside. Our waiter came and checked in on us and helped us with grilled Salmon for our . Chicken karage was juicy and flavorful, Omakase chefs choice was a nice selection of tuna, salmon , tako, shrimp, it came with miso soup. Note to self, try the Hamachi Omakase. And we had the twister, spicy Hamachi roll lunch special. read more

Ginza is a convenient Japanese restaurant located in the heart of Ward Village with ample parking and a menu that has something for everyone. I recommend their lunch specials during the weekday that are a great deal and come with a generous portion of food included in the meal. I ordered the Ward Special where you pick two selections from their makimono specialty rolls list (a few are excluded but most are available for this offer) and you get four pieces of each for a perfect mix and match. The combo also comes with salad, miso soup and edamame to start with. The lunch nigiri set is also an awesome option. The quality of this sushi gets the job done if you're having a craving like I did today! Russel, the owner, is so hospitable and friendly. The ambiance is quaint and cozy and it's a great spot to grab a quick bite after running errands and shopping around the neighborhood! read more

Came on a Saturday evening, maybe an hour and a half before closing. Super glad there was a table that was available. We parked across the street. There's no bathroom in the restaurant, but there's a place you can go to and they just give you the code for it. Staff were super friendly. The server though, he was really nice, but he looked confused. But yeah, he was pretty nice still. As for the food, 9.5/10!!! We ordered: *Calamari -- it was okay, I've had better calamari elsewhere. *Fried Oysters -- delicious! you can never go wrong with fried oysters! It came on a shell too. Great presentation! *Garlic Crunch -- probably my favourite one out of the three sushi rolls we ordered!! This is a must try! *Bomb -- too much going on, but still delicious! *Emperor -- love love the cream cheese! The rolls we ordered had 8 pieces each. We were so full. I'm really happy we finally got to try this place. And after our meal, they gave us ferrero rocher! I wanna try more of their rolls! Look so delicious! Give this place a try! You won't regret it! Don't forget to check-in on Yelp for free gyoza! read more

Since my bestfriend Michael showed me Ginza sushi about 10 years ago it's been Decade of Unbeatable Sushi & Service We've been coming to Ginza Sushi for the past 10 years, and it's safe to say, this place never misses. Russell, the owner, is not only a master at his craft but also one of the kindest and most attentive restaurant owners we've ever met. His dedication to quality and hospitality is a huge part of what keeps us coming back. The Avenger Roll is my go to. This is Russell's masterpiece. The roll is perfection with every bite--the fresh tuna, crispy fried onions, and just the right amount of spicy mayo create a flavor profile that's absolutely addicting. The way the textures blend together is something you can only get from someone who knows sushi like Russell does. Philadelphia Roll substitute the salmon with ahi and this is our friends go to. The cream cheese, fresh tuna, and avocado are perfectly balanced, making each bite creamy and rich without being overwhelming. This is comfort food at its finest, done with finesse. Miso Soup and edamame and seaweed salad are the regular apps we get. Every meal here is absolutely fire. Beyond the amazing food, what really makes Ginza stand out is the service. Every time we visit, we're treated like family. Russell and his team go above and beyond to make sure every experience is top-tier, and it's that level of care and attention that has made us loyal customers for a decade. If you're in Honolulu, you can't miss out on Ginza Sushi. We will be back next week!! Thanks Alvin for all the lemons and the great service! read more

We were craving sushi for dinner and stopped by this place after our shopping. We were greeted immediately by the staff, seated, and ordered our drinks. We placed an order for 4 rolls and a calamari appetizer. They had a complementary appetizer of edamame and pickled radishes. The calamari was good and I really like the size of each calamari. The rolls were good, but I felt like it wasn't the best I've had. Fish was fresh and we didn't get sick after it, which is always a good sign. read more

Had a few lunches here and didn't realize I haven't written up a review, which is an injustice to this awesome establishment. The customer service is on point and the ambiance gives a more intimate feel as it only sits a handful of tables so you don't get lost in larger floor plan. The sashimi is fresh! And the price is right. I can't complain that it's walking distance from my office and next door to my favorite coffee joint, Ali'i Coffee. Auuurrriiii! read more

We stumbled upon this location while looking for late night sushi spots to get a quick bite before heading out for the night at the bar. A lot of the locations near by were already closed, we saw how this place was still open and wanted to do take out anyways. Chef Russell was the kind guy who took our order, I enjoy his personality from what I've witnessed while my other half placed the order. While we were waiting outside another couple had arrived at this location by Uber and wanted to dine in but they were told that they could only do take out. They were waiting about 10 mins when chef Russell had offered to still take their order so they could at least get food and said that it was okay to do so because they still had to clean up inside anyways, still the couple declined but to me it just showed how nice this owner is. The food itself, we had ordered the Ebi Ten Roll, unagi nigiri & spam nigiri. We had also ordered the Moana Roll and lychee Sake (Not pictured). Everything was good and kept us contempt for the night. The experience was so nice that we will definitely be coming back to dine in. read more

One of my go-to spots for sushi with friends and family! The fish is always fresh and high quality. I've tried so many different rolls here--all delicious. My favorite items are the hamachi carpaccio, ahi tartare, and agedashi tofu. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. I even ventured out and tried their steak once. Perfectly cooked medium rare and seasoned just right. Even my dad, who's hard to impress when it comes to food, gave it his seal of approval. Highly recommend if you're looking for consistently great sushi and Japanese food. read more

We came right at opening (5pm) and were sat right away, with a smile! Clean restaurant with friendly staff. Husband and I kept saying how great the food was! Their sushi is fresh! We will definitely be back again. We were also gifted chocolates at the end of our meal... so that's a plus and absolutely 5-star worthy if you ask me, haha! read more

This was one of my favorite meals we had in Honolulu! When we stopped by the area around Ginza was quiet and calm compared to other areas in Waikiki and perfect for a nice quaint dinner outside. The service was quick and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. We order hot sake, miso soup and a variety of sushi rolls including a California roll, Ebi-Ten Dragon, Emperor and Aloha. All of the roles were super good and fresh and we would 100% order them again. I'd recommend checking out Ginza Sushi! read more

Parking is plentiful. The lady who was working was nice and welcoming. I ordered takeout. Captain crunch (5/5): crunch crunch. This roll really lives up to its name. The cucumber added additional crunch which was welcomed. Gyoza (5/5): super crispy and crunchy outer shell. Dragon roll (5/5): not to drag on this review but it was very flavorful. The sticky rice and the crunchy cucumber gave good texture. The wait for the food was a quite long I have to say. Overall Ginza Sushi is a great place for some bomb sushi. I highly recommend this place. read more

This place was really good! Let's start w/ the service and then we'll get to the food! Service: The service was absolutely exceptional! I got seated immediately and I feel they spaced out the seating due to COVID and I really appreciated that. They were super attentive, quick, and very friendly such a great vibe! It's a small place, but it felt cozy. Food: The food was fresh and awesome! I like a little spicy and so I got the Moana roll, which is a spicy tuna and spicy mayo sauce! It was so savory and delicious and very fresh. I also got the Aloha roll with w/ seared salmon which was good too! I also start my meal with some nice gyoza which were fried and delicious! Also got miso soup. Overall: Great sushi, great service, Go go go! read more

Their staff are friendly and have good customer service skills that are consistent. Their rolls are so yummy and they have such a diverse range to select from.

First time coming here since was hungry and looked good! Got the lunch special of butterfish was amazing. Melted in my mouth. My friends got sushi and looked really yummy.

I never really noticed this place before but my friend took me here. It was definitely worth it! The restaurant is a bit on the smaller side, so you might want to come during non-peak hours to avoid waiting for a seat. The food was great. Everything was tasty. My favorite was the garlic crunch roll that they had - tempura and cucumber on the inside with some sauces and garlic chips on top. The ahi tartare was pretty good too but it comes with rice (the picture on the table made it look like it was all fish). I liked everything that I ordered and the portions are pretty typical of a Japanese restaurant (so not too large, except for the rolls). read more
