Honestly, the food was amazing and would definitely go back. Additionally, the team working on the night of our visit were really helpful and informative in the selection of their food. We also had a laugh and made us feel like we were in great hands for the evening. It’s also halal!!!!!

Ginza was a great experience for Japanese cooking, and offered a nice choice of various set menus which had been worked out to give the best of Japanese. This is helpful because in Japan one apparently combines a lot of smaller specialities to create the perfect dinner, and whilst the experienced diner might know their way around the menu the full guidance from attentive staff was very useful! And here they had choice of seating at a teppanyaki counter or just at a table, and I asked for teppanyaki, where the cook prepares everythingp on the hot plate in front of the diner! This style included a set menu with wines paired with each course, which gave a nice selection of all things Japanese including the rice wine and some good red and white for the fish, vegetable and meat courses which all kept appearing. The menu concluded with Japanese dessert, and plum sake, and after all of this it was time to go back out into London and go home! The restaurant had very successfully cultivated a Japanese ambience which felt quite different from the city outside, so I felt it had been a good choice!

My partner and I had an amazing time at Ginza last week. We had a private dining experience at the sushi bar, tried food I’d have never thought to eat. Everything was super tasty, we had a cocktail flight that was divine. Our Chef (Alle) and the Manager were super attentive and amazing to speak to. Would 100% recommend if you are into trying interesting and incredibly well made food. My finance had a super special birthday and it made her day. We will be back, thank you to everyone at Ginza who made her day so special.
