Ginza Sushi - San Jose

Excellent sushi and bento! It's so good that I'm reviewing this place like a restaurant that would cost 40% more. Keep in mind that you should really try Ginza no matter my small complaints. The steak was nicely marinated, chicken katsu was very moistwith perfect breading, salad had great dressing, and even the soy sauce was deep and flavorful. My nigiri was mostly fresh,with some pieces practically melting in my mouth (salmon and shrimp) while others were merely adequate (yellowtail and flounde). The fsncy sushi rolls are quite extravagant and delicious. This sushi rice itself is a bit stale, and the California roll wasgood but not notable. The wait staff are friendly and helpful and the space feels nice and open. Although I'm a fan ofelectronic dance music, I'm not sure about playing it loudly during lunch.

Not sure how anyone gave this place more then two stars. I was looking forward to my sushi date after months of not going out. However this place left me unsatisfied and feeling ripped off. Some rolls priced at over $17 bucks came out tiny as if the fishitself was starving skinny. The salmon on top was cut soooo thinly you could hardly taste it. I know Covid is hurting a lot ofsmall businesses but charging more for less isn?t the way. Most of their restaurants still offer what they advertise and theyseem to be busier then ever. The edamame was over salted. The chicken karagge was dry dry dry. Served with ketchup! I havenever seen ketchup in a Japanese restaurant until now. On top of that it didn?t even taste like karagge it was just literallycup up chicken fried blandly. It?s a problem when you spend 60-70 on dinner and leave feeling hungry.

Friendly staff, a beautiful environment with internal and external seating. the quality of food is average for the price point, but there are not much better options in the opposite for Japanese food sushi.

Excellent sushi and benton! it is so good that I review this place like a restaurant that costs 40% more. remember that they really try ginza, no matter, my little ones complaining. the steak was beautifully marinated, chicken catsu was very humid with perfect brot, salat had big dressing, and even the soy sauce was deep and tasteful. my nitriri was mostly fresh, with some pieces almost melt in my mouth (salmon and garnel), while others were only sufficient (yellowtail and flounde). the fsncy sushi roll are quite extravagant and delicious. this sushi rice itself is a bit stale, and the California roll was good, but not remarkable. the waiting staff is friendly and helpful and the room feels beautiful and open. Although I am a fan of electronic dance music, I am not sure to play it loud during lunch.

I didn't have any expectations, but it turned out to be really good!! I am picky about the Miso soup, and this place made one of my top favorites in the area. The bento box with teriyaki chicken, rice, salad, and California roll was super tasty! My favorite was one of the bake rolls, it was SO flavorful and truly delicious! The service was great and we enjoyed how it it looked inside! Thank you!
