“Fresh, Fast, and Absolutely Delicious

I had an incredible experience at Ginza Japanese Restaurant, and this picture says it all. The sushi was not only beautifully presented but also unbelievably fresh — every bite tasted clean, vibrant, and full of flavor.

The service was impressively fast, yet never felt rushed. The staff was attentive, friendly, and always checking in to make sure everything was perfect without hovering. It’s rare to find a place that balances speed with genuine care, but Ginza nails it.

We also ordered the gyoza, and they were amazing — perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and absolutely delicious. A must-try appetizer!

The prices are very competitive compared to other sushi spots in the area, especially considering the quality. You’re getting top-tier freshness and amazing presentation without overpaying, which makes this place an easy favorite.

From the delicate mango-topped roll to the crunchy tempura and the spicy rolls packed with flavor, every single piece on the plate was outstanding.

If you’re looking for delicious sushi, fast service, great value, and a place that truly focuses on freshness, Ginza is absolutely worth the visit. Highly recommended!“

“The best Takoyaki we've had since we had it in Osaka. Really delicious food!“

“Best sushi restaurant in the Bay View area. The most friendly service, employees can actually have a conversation. Great food and always consistent. Very clean and great atmosphere. This place is a gem that is being overlooked, give them a chance and you won’t regret it. Great food, great price, and great service is always hard to find.“

“They have the best ramen that I have ever had. I don't eat pork, so it can be hard to find pork-free ramen that's flavorful. This bowl is so tasty on its own that you do not need to add any meat (or tofu) to it. I've ordered other things, but usually wish I had just stuck with the ramen cuz it's that good. Unless you can stand a lot of heat, go with the mild which is still pretty spicy. And I grew up eating Indian food, so heat is something I'm used to. And: Help support small businesses like Maki Yaki during this difficult time! You can get the ramen as take out...“

“The best sushi in MKE! Service, atmosphere, quality, and location 💯🔥👍🏼“

“RuYi never disappoints. The quality of the food is always excellent. Portion sizes will please everyone. They have expanded RuYi's into two locations within the casino. The old Buffet area has been converted to a RuYi and Fire Pit combo to-go service or pick-up and dine-in this large area. While the long lines were worth the wait, you no longer have to stand around in the lobby. Simply order At the front register and then go in and grab a seat, and get a free soda, visit with your friends or family, and it will bring it to your table. Check out these photos.
