“Took a day trip to Aurora Fossil Museum and headed over to New Born. My family and I ate at Morgan’s and I would recommend it to anyone! They have delicious bread, but it came with honey on it. Our server asked us if our littlest was too young for honey and then brought him his own piece without honey. Waitress was attentive and helpful. The food was delicious. Everyone on the staff was nice. The bathrooms were nice, they even have a doggy menu!“

“Good food, friendly staff and nice atmosphere. My husband and I went on Thursday night for dinner as we have many times in the past. My only complaint was everything was overly salted. We removed the breading from the calamari, his tuna didn't have much flavor only salty. My crabcakes were as good as always! Maybe they should cut back off on the salt, you can always add more at the table.“

“I love a bento box. Not too many places carry them so when I see the option I have to stop and try it. Ginza Japan is a place I’ve passed many times and never thought to go in. It is a small place, limited seating but there’s enough booths, tables and bar seats they make it work. I went around 3:45 and couldn’t believe how busy it was. Always a good sign. The wait staff is super attentive and helps you as soon as you’re ready to order which I appreciate. The menu is great for sushi and hibachi and the bento boxes come with numerous choices. I went with the shrimp tempura and fried rice. You get 3 gyoza and California rolls, soup and salad. It is alot of food. It arrived in a timely manner and everything was so fresh and well made with quality ingredients and flavor! The shrimp came with tempura mixed veggies which was a nice suprise and as someone who doesn’t need a ton of shrimp having the 2 shrimp tempura was actually the perfect amount with the veggies. Those ordering shrimp tempura and expecting 4 or 5 shrimp tempura only may be disappointed. I ate it all because it was that good. I’m still stuffed 4 hours later writing this review. I wish they served alcohol then it would be truly perfect. I look forward to coming again when the opportunity arises. Oh and all this food came to $15.95. Can’t beat that!“

The vegetables were undercooked. They did bring it from the back a few minutes later and filled the sauces after we finished eating. Never got the hot sauce that I asked for thrice.
It was painfully. Evident cook was new.
Overall I would go back and give them another try.“
