Tonight was my first experience at Ginko. I have never had sushi, dessert, or service as great as I did!! The food was phenomenal. The sesame ice cream was insanely delicious. And Nick, our server took extra care of me with my gluten allergy. He checked on everything with the chef before I ordered! I Was will for sure be back and will recommend this restaurant to EVERYONE!!

Stumbled upon this little gem, I love the stairways downstairs entrance reminds me of a lot of cool little spots back home in BK and then it has a secret restaurant upstairs called Dante’s. We had the pleasure to have an amazing server called Joey. He went Above and beyond with service. Joey gave us A tour .
I would definitely plan ahead and reserve a table in the vault. I love it here. It reminds me of my favorite restaurant back home in Brooklyn, New York.
