Ginza Japanese Restaurant

My wife and I goes to Ginza usually every fortnight for a weekend dinner and we have been doing this for the last 6 months since we have moved to the area. Sushi / sashimi are all very fresh and tasty; we rotate around the menu and try different dish each time! I also enjoy the eel rice as well which i ordered every time!

Its run by chinese but the food is reasonably authentic and for the price they charge i reckon its pretty good value.

We went at a quiet time on a Sunday afternoon; the staff were extremely attentive (almost too attentive- as we were the only people there). I think they like you to book, even when they are not busy. The surrounding were japanese styled and quiet- sat at front of restraunt in booth- quite private.

The menu was strange (two menus), one was all written the other all pictures. Anyway, we weren't sure how big some of the dishes were and ordered quite a lot- and we were surprised to be served huge portions.

The raw fish was all superb- I ve eaten at yo sushi, and this tasted and looked fresher (all sushi served on ice). The sushi was just totally delicious. Also ordered fried dumplings- yum! Also some seafood rice- not so good, but OK.

We returned another time, and at a busier time; had the same dumplings and sushi and shared a rice box this time- absolutely yum, and quite fillings. Look forward to going back. I find sushi fairly pricey but this place is great value for money.

After horrible experiences eating raw fish in another Japanese restaurant, it should have put me off for life. None the less, I was persuaded to give it a try again at Ginza in Greenwich. What can I say? The food was delicious! The sashimi was served on a boat, cut beautifully and placed on a bed of ice to keep it cool. The fish (tuna, yellowtail, scallop, swordfish) was very fresh and tasty, not slimy and fishy as I had eaten before. The restaurant chef was not stingy on the crab roe when sprinkled on the dragon or california roll.

Don't order dishes all in one go, the portions may look small but it really does fill you up!!!! I love the take out option too, i would use it but i find that sushi does not taste as good (or look as good since i bash it about as i walk/drive).

Although a slightly expensive, it was worth it due to excellent customer service from the waiters and the freshness of the fish. Ginza has restored my faith in eating raw fish!! I'll definately be back again...

Went there this afternoon with my wife and generally surprised by the quality. Very tasty and very fresh indeed, with a good selection of sushi, sashimi and small dishes. Not cheap for the area it is situated in but well worth the money for an occasional visit. The two of us spent £35 including drinks and service charge . Would definitely return again!

I took my boyfriend to Ginza for his birthday. From the outside it doesn’t look that great. But when we walked through the door and noticed that this restaurant had it’s fair share of Japanese diners, we knew we we’re probably onto a good thing. And we we’re right.

The food was very good. The fish was fresh and full of flavour, the dumplings we’re the best I’ve had and the tempura was also absolutely lovely too.

And what’s more the service is fantastic, the staff are nice and friendly and will go out of their way to be of service to you. Making it a truly enjoyable evening.

If you like Japanese food you will like Ginza.

A somewhat westernised menu in parts, but generally a surprisingly good place, with decent food, a nice dining room, charming (if not universally anglophone) staff and reasonable prices.

Daunted by a long menu, we plumped for a set meal, featuring course after course of sushi, sashimi, salad, deep fried stuff, some cooked meat and fish courses and a dessert. All well executed, and a total cost, including a couple of beers each, of less than £60 per head.

The general quality is all the more surprising given the insalubrious neighbourhood. East Greenwich needs more establishments like this as an antidote to the proliferation of third rate takeaways and fried chicken joints, and so I would not only recommend the food, but also urge any locals who care about what's on their doorstep to get down to Ginza and support this encouraging development.
