Never disappoints! I do not generally like sushi but enjoy the raw fish here because it is so fresh
Not the best Japanese food. Their yaki udon was super dry. The sushi was ok and their best dish was their sesame chicken.
Our spot for Japanese. Best one around with reasonable prices.
Was very sick after eating lunch there March 2025. Smelled clorox or something like it walking into restaurant and a chemical taste in Sushi.
I went here with my son and his girlfriend. They have been here before. It was my first time having Japanese food. It couldn’t hand worked out any better. I’ll be back.
Excellent food and service.
Great food, service ambiance, its a regular for me.
Was not a fan of the sushi, fish quality was lacking, and too much rice used for rolls. Hibachi was lackluster along with a very lightly fried rice that was lacking flavor. Had high hopes, not sure I would return for a 2nd visit. Service was good.
I stoped by Ginkaku today after work try to have some sushi since I just had lunch a hour ago. And I found that they just put their Ramen on the board as new special. So why not . It was tasty and the portion was good, presented well and I finished it . I guess I just found myself another noodle place in the cold winter days.
I went here today during lunch hours. The service was excellent, and the food was amazing. They rotate specials every couple of weeks, and this week’s special is the ramen with chashu. It’s flavorful and definitely worth trying.

The sushi is delicious ! However when we went the temperate inside was freezing, definitely 60 or colder and unsure why. It was unpleasant to eat our food.
Great sushi. Not a fan of the pad thai
This is one of my favorite restaurant. The ambiance was warm and inviting, with a modern yet traditional Japanese touch. The sushi was absolutely incredible—fresh, flavorful, and expertly prepared. The chef’s selection of nigiri and sashimi was outstanding, and the variety of rolls offered something for everyone.
The service was with friendly staff who were attentive without being intrusive. They took the time to explain the menu and offered great recommendations based on my preferences. The attention to detail in both the food and the overall dining experience was evident
Whether you're a sushi aficionado or a first-timer, I highly recommend this spot.
Served my husband edamame with the fried rice after my husband told the waiter 5x he’s allergic (carries an epipen for anaphylaxis). Do not come here if you allergies- they will kill you.
We went to this restaurant not knowing what to expect. The food was excellent, and the server was absolutely the best. We can't wait to go back!
