Ginza Sushi

Ginza Sushi & Asian Cuisine Review

Recently, Yuta and I went out for sushi.  Now, I have never really liked a lot of types of sushi, because I'm not one for most seafood, or the texture of raw fish, but I was craving me some sushi something fierce!  So while trying to figure out which restaurant to go to, my mother made a suggestion about Ginza Sushi & Asian Cuisine on Lauzon Rd (the old Murphy's pub).  She told us it was all we could eat, and that pretty much made our mind up for us!  We also searched the menu online so we knew what we were in for.

When we arrived, the place was DEAD.  There was only 1 other couple sitting in the restaurant.  It was also a Wednesday night, if that matters.  The dècor was nice and quite lounge-y feeling with dark greys and bright reds, contrasted with blue blue boat and orange abstract paintings on the wall.  We were greeted by a fairly shy Chinese waitress (I know because I heard the waitresses speaking to each other) and were put in a booth.  It was our first time there so she went over how the all you can eat works.  You get a piece of paper and a pencil, and then you just check off how many of each item you want, with the option of adding more later if you want!  So we checked off things like wonton soup (so good on a cold night!), bean curd sushi, teriyaki chicken sushi, a cucumber hand roll and some other things that we thought were definitely going to be enough for us to eat.  with each order they brought, they would check our sheet for more ordered items.  When we did order more food, I accidentally ordered Yuta a beef Udon instead of just a beef Don....Whoops, but he ate it anyway!  Most of our food came quickly and was pretty good, except for our forgotten yakitori.

We were putting on out coats, and I think they then realized that we had yet to receive our chicken skewers....so they threw them quickly on the grill and gave it to us before we left, cause DAMN that chicken was NASTY! It tasted raw and I had trouble eating the one piece off the skewer I took.

Overall, it was a good experience, with an average price point ($20/person plus drinks).  I would probably go again, but now I know NOT to order the yakitori!
