ginza japanese restaurant

so you wanna have some great sushi?. wellginzais the place for you! my father and i visitginzaat least one a month for their sushi combo plate. the sushi is fresh, thick cut pieces of fish on some of the best sticky rice i have ever tasted. the decor is absolutely charming and the owners are wonderful. my dad and i always joke that if we won the lottery we would pay the sushi chef to be our personal sushi chef and body guard. great place to eat but be warned, it is a little costly at night so i recommend going during lunch to save yourself some coin.

good food, slow service.ginzais not a restaurant to choose if you are in a hurry. the staff are very nice and friendly, but the service is slow. it's one of those things you just have to plan for.

the sushi chef, who i believe is the owner, does a great job. everything is nicely presented, and the ingredients are all high-quality. it's a little annoying that substitutions are not allowed (for example, the roll combo is a great deal, but you can't substitute regular tuna rolls for spicy tuna rolls -- so you're stuck with the spicy ones if you order the combo). but that's a minor complaint, really.

the other japanese dishes that i have tried (gyozu pot stickers, edamame, tonkatsu) are also good.

prices are moderate; dinner for two (without alcoholic beverages) will cost $30 to $40.

albany now has two sushi restaurants; i definitely prefer ginza. the sushi at momiji tasted ok, but not as good as ginza's.
