What People Are Saying About New Ginza Japanese Restaurant

Featured Review

The Scene – With a comfy, contemporary setting (think blond wood ceilings and tables) and an innovative sushi menu, New Ginza offers a slightly more interesting dining experience compared to the acclaimed Ginzas of Chinatown and Brookline (with which it's loosely affiliated). An army of quiet, knowledgeable waitresses serves as a direct link between diners and the master chefs that man the sushi bar. – – The Food – New Ginza's kitchen does wonders with Japanese favorites like salmon teriyaki and shrimp tempura by preparing the freshest ingredients available in artful…

Incredible Food and Atmosphere

by mlamlaihi at Citysearch

My husband took me out to dinner for my birthday on 10/19. I checked through the internet for this restaurant. I made a great choice. We ordered Sashimi, which my husband said was the best grade of fish he has ever tasted, it was so fresh. The Beef Negima and Vegetable/Shrimp Tempura were superb. The Tempura was cooked at the correct temperature so that after taking it home, it was not soggy with oil. The presentation and service were impeccable. The waiter was personable, cordial and was not condescending when questions were asked. This is a great pick, and which you won't be disappointed in. The menu has something for everyone, and is printed so that you can understand exactly what ingredients are used, which is great for any first timers.

  • Pros: Food and Service is the best
  • Cons: None that we noted

Great place for dinner

by chiungypoo at Citysearch

I tried New Ginza after the fabulous reviews I read, and I was not disppointed! The food is delicious, be it sashimi, maki rolls, california rolls, noodles, everything. I've dined there 4 times so far and have never made a reservation and never really needed to. We were always seated pretty quickly, I think the longest wait I had was 10 minutes. The staff is very curteous, and very attentive. I've only been there on Thursday-Saturday night, and our food was always fresh. I think this place is moderately priced, but worth it for the freshness, selection, staff attitude, and general atmosphere and dinner experience. The tables generally seat 2-4, and about 15 seats are available at the sushi bar.

  • Pros: Prompt seating, fresh food, great selection
  • Cons: Parking's sometimes iffy.
