    Crazy Tuna
    Naomi W.

    I am so pleasantly surprised by this place. I've passed by multiple times and thought it was weird that they would serve both sushi and Thai food. Being from Okinawa, sushi is a staple in my world. I was shocked to find the ahi (tuna) very fresh and vibrantly red colored. The salmon on the other hand was on the verge of going bad in about 2-3 days. I recommend sushi that has ahi for the quality. The rice was dense and tacky which is not how sushi rice is supposed to be. But overall I would say this place and Sushi Tatsu in Fairview Heights is close if I'm just needing to satisfy my sushi fix close-by. I realize that I will not get true sushi unless I'm on the coast or back home but this place has a thumbs up from me. It helps that the owners are super nice; no complaints on service.

    Best sushi place in Belleville/surrounding areas and one of my favorite restaurants in town at that. We always come for lunch (buy 2 rolls, get 3rd free), and the sushi is always extremely fresh and delicious. Spicy tuna roll and spicy crab are my favorite, although everything I've tried is good. Their pineapple fried rice is also to die for. The owners (chef/server) are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet. Even when they're extremely busy, you will be in and out within 30 minutes with a gracious "thank you" from the chef. Ps. It's so good that I actually hate Sundays because they are closed.

    Sashimi for 1, notice the pepper flakes....spicy yeah!!!

    Went in for a quick lunch on Halloween day and had the sashimi for 1, the fish was fresh and tasted great. The meal came with miso soup and I ordered a bowl of rice on the side. I asked for some pepper flakes for my rice and what I got kicked the sh.t out of the usual stuff in a shaker. The pieces could have been larger but were cut thick. Will be back.

    If one were to assume this is a dump, they'd be so very wrong. If you've wondered about this place, I urge you to do yourself a favor and GO IN AND TRY IT!!!! I came in and Maureen greeted me. I asked a few questions about the menu and decided to go with the N Illinois roll and the Philadelphia roll, as well as a Thai iced tea. Little did I know, I could have gotten away with just the N Illinois roll. Now they offer both sushi and some Thai options. I came in specifically for the sushi this trip. The iced tea was delicious, the rolls were well prepared, beautifully presented, and tasted so good. The fish was fresh, there was a perfect balance of sweet and spicy with the N Illinois roll. After I finished, Maureen even gave me a to go menu and recommended a couple of rolls for my next trip. I'm excited to take my mom here. I know she'll enjoy it as much as I did.

    Great sushi. The pad thai is no bueno. The place is just a window off the sidewalk. There's no indoor dining.

    Great pad Thai. Also delicious spring rolls that are deep fried and have a savory dipping sauce.

    I go to this buffet a few times a year and I definitely think it's worth a stop if you're in the…read morearea. Lunch and dinner prices are under $20 and vary by day of the week and age. They also have a carry out and made to order menu but I've only ever been for the buffet. Stand-out items for me are their freshly made sushi, potstickers, honey chicken, black pepper chicken, and lo mein. I love that so many of their dishes have big pieces of broccoli, onions, peppers, mushrooms, etc. In addition to the sushi bar they also have a stir-fry bar where you can go through and select your own raw items (including eggs, meats, fish, veggies, & noodles) and they cook it up for you in the sauce of your choice. I feel like I haven't found the sauce I really love yet and stir-fry can be so filling that sometimes I skip this part to make sure I have enough room for sushi and my other favs!

    I think Ginger has descent food - it's all buffet and a wide variety. Traditional Chinese food,…read moreseafood, and a few American staples. I appreciate how clean the buffet is, well stocked and wiped down. I would eat here again, even if to ignore the not too friendly or welcoming staff. No one cracks a smile and it's a little uncomfortable. But the food is descent. Three of us ate for $53. If the service was more friendly, I'd feel better about leaving a tip & I do tip generously... I just don't think the staff is inviting or welcoming. If you can get past that, for Ginger a try if you're looking for a quick, sit down Chinese meal.
