Ginza Sushi

I come to Ginza Sushi a lot, mostly because of convenience. I live down the street and so Ginza is always the first option for a quick sushi stop.
Most of the time I sit at the bar with whichever friend I decided to bring with me that night and order the Killer Shrimp roll and green tea and fried banana ice cream.
If I want All-​You-​Can-​Eat, I usually go to a different sushi place, because Ginza isn’t super quality.
My favorite thing about Ginza is the music they play. A lot of times when you go into a sushi place, they play irritating American dance music. But usually when I come to Ginza, they’re playing Japanese or Korean pop music, which is really fun. This place definitely has the best ambiance from any sushi place I’ve been to, because most sushi places are too crowded, too loud, or too serious. Ginza is perfect for hanging out with friends.
The sushi owner is a really chill guy and all the workers there are really funny and friendly. Most of them know me by name, which is kind of sad, haha.
I always return back!

We have been eating here off and on for a few years. We used to love this place. What has changed? The quality seems to have gone down quite a bit. My wife likes saba but the last several times it has been over pickled and under cooked. I can almost say «nothing special here» except for the udon noodles!
I really like udon noodles and the tempura udon on the menu here is very good! It has big slices of shiitake mushrooms, rich broth and loads of noodles. It is why we still go to Ginza.

I used to come here two or three times a month. I usually go to Sushi Mon when I would visit Vegas, but their lunch all-​you-​can-​eat prices were a bargain. The first time I went here, we made chummy-​chummy with the owner. Really nice fellow. He hooked it up with the sake and beer. I walked out of the place full and buzzed. When we returned a second time, he totally remember us. The food is good. However, one complaint I have is a lot of the rolls are saucy. I can only eat so much mayo.
In summary, 2 stars for the food and 2 stars for the service.

The sushi was great up until the point where I happened to look over at the cook in the back kitchen spitting in plain view. After seeing that I was done.

When a 50’s diner mates with a sushi bar you get Ginza Sushi.
It has the ambiance of some of some crazy japanese animi movie.
My one recommendation is to just go ahead and get the all you can eat special.
I came in to eat a few rolls and for the price and quality there is no difference.

Yesterday we decided to stop in since we were in the area. This location has been many things over the years from a 50’s diner, to a wine themed restaurant to Ginza.
We were greeted by the the sushi chef as soon as we walked in. He was pretty cool. But thats where service pretty much ended.
Our server was this older Asian woman who just didn’t seem happy with her job. She greeted us and gave us menus. She came back a few minutes later to take our order but were weren’t quite ready. She kind of scowled at us and walked off. From there, we waited over 10 minutes. When she would walk by, I would try to make eye contact and even raised my hand, but to no avail. Finally she came by and took the order.
I had the All you can eat, and my gf had the vegetarian tempura and seaweed salad.
The miso soup was tasty. Her seaweed salad was great as well. I had a spicy tuna roll, the red snapper sashimi, octopus, philly roll, and the spider roll. The only stand outs were the red snapper and the octopus. The octopus was very tender. The snapper was very fresh. Everything else was, meh. The softshell crab in the spider roll was obviously frozen, not fresh and very fishy, on the brink of unpleasant.
In the end, there are many other places in the area that have much better sushi, service and ambiance. But you live and you learn.,

BEST SCREAMING ORGASM EVVVERR! The sushi is unique and yummy. The 50s dinner theme is odd, but staff is friendly. The food keeps me coming back every time I’m in town! Would defiantly recommend!

I don’t know what twilight zone people are living in. The first time I came to Ginza, I thought it was meh. But with so many stars, I thought perhaps I’d overlooked something. So I came back.
Are you freakin’ kidding me, Unilocal?Seriously? What planet are you 4 and 5 star people living in?
The fish was not-​so-​fresh. Not that it was to the point of being scary… but it didn’t have the fresh clean taste of high quality fish either.
The rice to fish ratio was vastly in favor of the rice.
In a world of limited opportunities to eat out, I can’t fathom why anyone would ever eat here.
I give it two big MEHs that aren’t far from a BLEH.

I love sushi. No. Really. I love sushi. I have dreams about it. Sometimes I wake up in the morning and wonder if the Japanese mayonnaise they mix with scallops and spread on a California Roll comes in gallons. Sometimes I go to sleep, giddy as a schoolgirl, knowing that the next day I will have a fresh, tender rainbow roll, smothered in Sriracha and wasabi to eat later that day. Yes, sushi makes me that happy.
So you can only imagine my disappointment when I went to Ginza today and got a rice ball. Not okay Ginza, not okay.
I love sushi because of the fish, the buttery flaky fish and the rich, horrific-​for-​you mayonnaise that reminds me why I work out six times a week. When you give me a simple roll that has more rice than fish or avocado, I get a little sad. Cue frowning face. Then I get excited because I had the second, 1000 calorie roll, to consume next and alas, the same problem. Way too much rice. It made a normally enjoyable roll too filling, not because of the rich sauce and scallop mixture, but because there was enough rice to feed a small country on the roll. I’ve also eaten here for AYCE and even though they have a great menu with many choices, the large amount of rice ruins the roll every time. I’ve only once gotten a roll, the White House roll, that was great and had just the right amount of rice.
The service is decent. I’ve had the same server the two times I’ve gone there and she had a bit of an attitude when (I promise) I was nothing but friendly and used the manners my parents thankfully taught me when I was a kid. I can definitely ignore mediocre service if the food is worth it, but unfortunately, it isn’t. Thumbs down to Ginza for ruining tonight’s sushi dream. Thumbs down indeed.

I went with my boyfriend last week for lunch. I knew this place before because I went 2 times already in the past year. I liked the outside decoration…
We ate the all you can eat lunch. I ordered some seaweed salad which was not that fresh in my taste… we ordered the Happy Ending but it was disgusting, too much garlic!
Later on that day, my boyfriend and me were not feeling really good…
He vomit before going to work. Moreover when I was working at my job that night I had to vomit many times and was really sick…
We both understood we had a food poisoning thanks to this restaurant!
I am just sad we spent more than $ 50 on unfresh food…
I even called and let them know what happen the following day but they did not care at all!!! Isn’t it a good service?!
DO NOT GO TO THIS RESTAURANT! it is not worth it!

We decided to have dinner here since it’s pretty close to where I live. As we walked into this dark and eerie restaurant, we were greeted by a friendly waitress. As I am flipping through the menu, my eyes started hurting… the menu has a black background with gold/​yellowish font. Gosh that’s terrible on my eyes. Then as one waitress came to see if we were ready to order after we politely asked to give us a few minutes, another one came and ask the same question. This occurred a couple of more times throughout our dinner. My friend ordered the spicy tuna plate and I still cannot decide. Then each one of them took turn and revisited me to ask if I was ready to order. My friend added an order of edamame to his order.
I tasted his food to see if I should order. and glad I did because I ended up not ordering anything. The spicy tuna was eehh, and the edamame was a bit overcooked for my taste.
Needless to say, I am not coming back. I would rather drive the distance to my favorite AYCE sushi place, ISLAND SUSHI.

This place is close by my house so my roommate and I thought we’d give it a try. We went ahead and got the all you can eat sushi ($ 25 for Dinner). I went ahead and tried the screaming orgasm, which is a salad of sorts… this was amazing!!! (and the only reason this place is getting three stars). After that we tried multiple rolls and I was honestly disappointed with each one. They were… meh. They weren’t bad, but they weren’t great either. Any roll that had crab in it didn’t really have crab at all, it was the fake crab crap. I thought that was unacceptable being how pricey this place was if you didn’t get the all you can eat. Anyway, this place was nothing special. Service was quick but I would much rather spend my money somewhere else.

I am not sure if I went to Ginza on an off-​night, but my experience there was pretty bad. First of all, I would like to point out that the restaurant itself is a converted Five-​and-​Diner with an exterior that was made to look like like an old-​fashioned soda shop. Ginza has thrown a gaudy, green neon sign on the chromed-​out edifice of the old restaurant. I would not have stepped in to the place based on looks, but because it was the only sushi restaurant identified on Unilocal to be near my location at the time, and because it had a four-​star rating, I decided it was worth a shot.
I sat at the sushi bar. The chefs seemed disinterested if not depressed. I am used to sushi chefs who are anxious to make me something, yelling out «What’s next?» At Ginza, they seemed almost intimidated by the customer before them: me. The food was so-​so. I was disappointed by the portions. The sushi was sliced so thin I would call it «miserly.» I could understand if I had ordered all-​you-​can-​eat, but I was eating a la cart.
One test I have for a sushi restaurant is to see how fresh the mackerel is. Mackerel is a very fishy fish. I know this. I feel that if you do not have fresh mackerel you should not have mackerel on your menu. The mackerel at Ginza was extremely fishy and almost acidic as though it had been cured. Maybe that is a way to serve this type of fish, but I have never had it that way before and it was unpalatable.
Once again, maybe I was there on an off-​night. The only reason I would go back there is under the confidence of a trusted friend who knows sushi.

I debated giving this place 3 or 4 stars. I went with four because the people were very friendly, but it could have easily gone the other way.
I ate at Ginza twice in one day, once alone at lunch and again with someone else during the late night ‘happy hour’. If I would have just had lunch it would be four stars, if just happy hour three, or maybe even two. First, the quality of the sushi is decent. Not amazing, not bad, just down the middle. Some pieces taste fresher than others. I didnt have a few pieces that seemed a bit dry on the edges which isnt a good sign.
For lunch I had a special that was fairly reasonable about $ 17 that included miso, salad, a sushi (both nigiri and sashimi). Everything was fine and I believe fairly priced. The people were friendly. The atmosphere was a bit odd with R&B club music playing a bit loudly, but whatever.
Happy hour was a different story. I came back for happy hour because I had seen a sign on the door stating that everything was 50% off after 9pm (except AYCE and sashimi). When I got there I realized there is actually a small menu of happy hour items and those are the only things that were 50% off. None of these were particularly appealing to us, but we ordered some anyway. By memory some of the happy hour items included: california roll, cucumber roll, tuna roll and a slew of spicy rolls like salmon and tuna. Honestly I did wonder if there were so many spicy rolls because they were trying to use older fish and hide the taste with spicy sauce. Besides the spicy rolls there were only about four normal rolls that could be ordered for happy hour. The ones we ordered were again fine, not amazing, but we were turned off by what we saw as a sort of false advertising.
In the end I think the quality of sushi here is fine, the service is very good, the people are friendly and the prices are reasonable. I would return if I were in a pinch, but Ill be looking for other sushi places.

Ginza Sushi is a sushi bar that is next to Sweet Tomatoes on the corner of Steph/​Warm Springs in Henderson. It looks like a 50s kinda diner from the outside. We’ve always wanted to try this place and finally did a few friday nights ago. We went with the AYCE Sushi for $ 25/​person. It was really good.
Granted we ordered the standard fare rolls which isnt smart if you’re eating ayce and the waiter let us know. he was like??/ why are youordering California Roll, Spicy Tuna roll? you need to order like Volcano roll, baked salmon roll… so u know what? we did.
we ordered both along with phili roll, screaming orgasm roll. I enjoyed the screaming orgasm roll and the baked salmon roll (although the last one is very messy) but I dont think I’d have ordered those if I wasnt on the ayce meal plan.
Id def. give this place a try. Its cheaper than sumo sushi but the service @ Sumo & atmosphere was a lot better.
If you want to save a buck maybe just order the rolls you really want.

I love Ginza and the idea of a sushi bar in a pseudo dinning car. I mean it makes sense. Japan grew to it’s world status by copying American processes and refining, how more Americana can you get than a chrome dining car that failed as a retro 50s diner?
Sushi, as I have been lead to believe, is a communal /​social endeavor. At Ginza, it is hard to do with the loud Japanese pop music. I prefer my sushi with more soothing music or at least with music at a volume that you can carry on a conversation. Maybe I am the exception and not the norm.
I love the food and the service is good and friendly and, as previously mentioned, there is no better place to celebrate a birthday. I recommend you to find out yourself. It is awesome!

A friend had been going here for a while and couldn’t stop raving about her favorite sushi place.
I have pretty low expectations and they failed to meet them. And it’s no longer my friend’s favorite place to visit when she goes to Vegas.
The food was ok… three stars.
There was no one else in the place.
The attitude from the younger sushi chef was unbelievable… we should have walked out. What an a-​hole.
The waitresses stood about 2 feet away from us the entire time. Awkward.
My friend who LOVED going here and has brought several people, said she’s never going back.
Don’t waste your time or money.

WORST SUSHI EVER! Just ate lunch here today and I could not finish my food. I am pretty sure the fish had gone bad. Really disappointed because I was looking forward to sushi today. Service was mediocre and there was only one other person in the restaurant. (that should have been a sign on a Saturday)
Would not eat here again… now off to let my tummy heal :(

I don’t even eat sushi, but this place is great. The people are so friendly and the staff is beyond excellent. They always greet my girlfriend by name, and they know what she wants to drink before she orders.
My girlfriend says that «Moonshine» is the best sushi maker EVER! (LOL).
This place used to be a 50’s diner, so it is BEYOND weird that it is now this weird pseudo 50’s diner /​japanese restaurant hybrid.
Bottom-​line is that the staff rocks. Were it just for the food, I’d personally give it 3 stars, but the efforts that the owner and his excellent staff put forth are worth the extra star!

Ohhhh, old 5 & Diner. You’re much, much better now.
I passed this place a few times, but never went in because they didn’t have all you can eat at the time. Finding an AYCE sushi place in Henderson is pretty difficult — especially finding a GOOD one.
My friends and I went here for dinner to see what they offered on the AYCE menu.
They have some of the best baked rolls ever, and the fish is SO fresh.
I will say that the Japanese Lasagna is kind of hard to eat. They use a whole friggin block of cream cheese! The cream cheese doesn’t soften. But it’s yummy.
We ordered a bottle of sake for $ 25 (which sucks, because the same bottle is $ 10 at Lee’s — ahh!).
I would order 20 Screaming Orgasms and be in heaven. They have the BEST Screaming Orgasm ever.
But the one thing they do better than ANY restaurant I’ve seen is…
Well, you’ll just have to go there for your birthday and see. Seriously. Tell them it’s your birthday — someone, ANYONE’S BIRTHDAY! Prepare to be amazed! And super happy.
