The food was very subpar. The kimchi jigae was pretty sour and did not have a pleasant taste. The service was also extremely slow despite the restaurant being completely empty. I just think it was very expensive for what it was.

I ordered pork belly and the wait time was ridiculous. When the meat finally arrived, it wasn't even fully thawed, which clearly shows they just pulled it out of the freezer after I ordered. It had a gamey smell that made it very hard to eat. I also ordered Takoyaki, but it was only warm on the outside and still frozen/cold on the inside. This place is definitely not worth the price.

I've never eaten in the restaurant so this review is purely based on the food. I've been getting sushi to go every few weeks for the last 7 months. It is great quality fish for a reasonable price. The veggie rolls are some of the best I've had anywhere. Tonight we got several of the BBQ dishes to eat family style and try several at a time and they were AMAZING! The kimchi was crunchy, spicy, and delicious.

Have dined here ever since they opened and the quality, presentation, service and freshness is superb. Although we miss Jon, Don does an equally excellent job of preparing and making of menu offerings and presentation is top drawer. Keep it going Don! (Side note: Spray bottles with sanitizing solution and CLEAN towels needs to be routine cleaning standard for all tables before seating guests.)
PS Softshell Crabs are to die for.

Charged me an auto gratuity when 2 of the guest were babies. Said they auto gratuity with parties of 6. She would’ve gotten a better tip than insulting me with auto gratuity thinking she wouldn’t get a tip. DNR
3 sides for banchan and the kimchi tasted sour.

Thank you sir
We were greeted warmly, sat at our table in mere seconds, and the staff was so nice and friendly. They explained the menu and possible combinations. ( We had small children and they got them what made them happy).
Pricing was fair and the food was delicious.

Unfortunately not the best KBBQ in the area! Pricey small portions and not the best flavor.

Lauren was awesome. Food was great. I’m from Miami so I’m used to good sushi but this was VERY GOOD sushi! Got the bulgogi as well. Overall great experience, definitely VM recommended and would come back when I get the chance!

Amazing food and great service. We went to Alabama for a vacation and this place hit the spot. We forgot our headphones there and didn’t realize until we were on the way to Florida. We contacted the staff about it, and they handled it very well and shipped it back to us. The staff is very friendly and the place is very eye pleasing. Would definitely recommend this for anyone in Alabama

We love Ginza! It’s a go-to spot for us to meet up with my family for dinner. Both the sushi and Korean bbq are awesome, the prices are great, and the service is wonderful. They always make sure we have a great dinner!
