    The chicken Katsu was old and not fresh. One waitress was nice the other a Zombie. Also, they close after lunch so you better shove the food down the gullet. They are not shy to tell a patron they close in 2 minutes. The culture is suppose to be Japanese, but there are no Japanese working there. Anyway your clients are American and we are not on the Tokyo time clock.

    I have gone to Ginza for dinner and drinks several times recently to celebrate with friends. Food is wonderful. Staff is friendly and excited to be there. Yang is the best! This is some great chicken katsu in the city!

    Been here twice to celebrate an event with friends. Delicious food. I highly recommend the chicken katsu. Equal to the food is the amazing staff. Yang and Holly are awesome! Very friendly and always take the time to get to know their customers.

    When my husband and I went for dinner, we had a positive enough experience that I had to give them 5 stars. The food was great, the service from wait staff was excellent, and the general environment was friendly and relaxed. If you want to try one of their cocktails, I recommend the Sake Sawa. The bartender, Yang, makes one heck of a whiskey drink! Worth the price.

    It pains me know to give such a low rating for this long time Memorialish establishment. Been going here for years and have always considered it Five Stars. Recently ownership has changed hands. The staff is very friendly still and service is still very good, but there have been some changes for the worse. #1 atmosphere. Management replaced the tables and chairs that were in there before. They were never the best but it had charm to it. The artwork has been replaced with blank white walla. The tables are now a cheap fake wood top that are too high. The layout is just bad now. What used to be a lively place on a Friday night now has the vibe of a Chinese takeout restaurant. Food: My favorite roll the "Hi Five" roll has done two things. 1) gone down in quality(sushi is less quality and the rice isn't as firm" 2) the price has gone up. I understand this but it has become more expensive than upscale sushi restaurants without the same atmosphere. Probably could have gotten away with it of they hadn't eroded the previous atmosphere the restaurant had. One bright spot was the fried rice. wasI'm It excellent as usual. The drinks were cold, but ising beer glasses for water is not the atmosphere I'm looking for when paying blue fish pricing. It also seems like the menu has shrunk down quite a bit. Bottom line is what made this place special is gone now. New ownership is definitely doing their best, but I believe they vastly underestimated the client basis. We gave the restaurant a second chance because we came after the new management took over, but not much has changed. I hope things improve or it will fall in line with fountain view Cafe and La Visita. Will note that the manger is very nice and attentive. Rooting that it gets turned around.
