Cool little neighborhood Japanese spot that is authentic and delicious. No frills, just great food. On a Monday night, the place was nearly empty and the service was quick. The dinner plates all come with salad, pickles, rice, and miso soup. I was delightfully satiated after my meal.

I’ve eaten there many times. Their pumpkin rice is very delicious. The ingredients are very fresh. I like it very much. The private room is also suitable for parties. It’s not too noisy and the service attitude is also very good.

One more star for the nice environment. It’s friendly, quiet and intimate.
1 star for the food. We had been here last year and it was almost 40-min wait. But the pumpkin fried rice was amazing and we decided to come back.
The pumpkin fried rice was delicious as always, however, I felt sick quite quickly and noticed there is a layer of oil with every spoon full of rice. It probably makes the food good, but it was so oily and we couldn’t finish it despite the size is quite small for two.
We also ordered soft shell crab tempura. Sounds good right? Well, there was four pieces of index finger size crab leg, and mostly breading. It was very embarrassing for $18.
We also ordered the special Matsutake mushrooms soup. (As shown in picture). I remember this being $18, and it has four tea cup worth of soup. Hello?
I loved the soup because it was packed with umami. However I started getting insanely thirsty and drank like 5 glasses of water. That makes me think it may have no small amount of msg. Not a problem, but if I’m paying good money for a dish that was supposedly to be naturally umami packed, this would’ve unacceptable. Hope I’m wrong.
Maybe they are just having an off night. I also noticed that today at dinner hour on a weekend night, there was no wait. Maybe the restaurant is taking a downturn.
I went back home and my gums are hurting. Don’t think we will come back, just because the food doesn’t seem to treat my body right, whether that’s the excessive oil or potentially msg.

Nevertheless, tonight’s service was unfortunately disappointing…it’s not that restaurant was understaffed, they were simply not caring too much of basic offerings filling the water, cleaning up the empty dishes or asking anything needed. It was also rude to deliver the check before our desserts arrived. When checking out, there was no shame by default to collect 18% of service tips that 18% was also on the WA sales tax as part of base amount.

Ginza Bellevue is hands down one of the most incredible and authentic Japanese spots around. It doesn’t feel commercial or overhyped — it feels real.
The fish is insanely fresh. Like, melt-in-your-mouth fresh. You can taste the quality right away, whether it’s sashimi, nigiri, or specialty rolls. Nothing feels heavy or overcomplicated — just clean flavors done right.
I also love how creative the menu is without trying too hard. There’s a really nice balance between traditional sushi and some interesting, thoughtful twists.
And honestly, the best part is the vibe at the bar. The chefs behind the counter are super friendly, welcoming, and clearly passionate about what they do. Sitting there, chatting with them, watching everything being prepared — that’s the experience.

Ginza is a hidden gem in old downtown Bellevue serving some of the best sushi in town! The sushi is incredibly fresh, and the friendly service makes the experience even better. The sushi chefs craft amazing sashimi and specialty rolls. It’s always busy, so be sure to make a reservation! Parking can be tricky, but free street parking and paid lots are nearby.

A hidden gem in Bellevue! Ginza is a small, family-owned Japanese restaurant with incredibly friendly staff and a cozy, welcoming atmosphere.
We stopped by for lunch on a weekday and were blown away by how delicious everything was. The Tonkatsu was perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside — the shredded cabbage and sauce on the side were the perfect pairing. We also ordered the Sukiyaki, which was packed with flavor and came in a generous portion. The California roll was fresh and satisfying — you could really taste the quality of the ingredients.
Don’t skip the hot green tea — it ties the meal together beautifully.
Highly recommend supporting this local spot. You’ll leave full and happy!

Ginza is a fantastic spot for gathering with family and friends. The sushi is always fresh, authentic, and absolutely delicious. We especially love the real crab meat, it makes all the difference. Whether dining in or ordering takeout, Ginza never disappoints. Highly recommend!

Located in the heart of downtown Bellevue, Ginza is your typical family-style Japanese restaurant. The fish is fresh, and they offer a good variety of fried and cooked dishes for those who prefer not to eat raw fish.
While the food was enjoyable, the service left much to be desired. The staff took our order, brought out the dishes, and ensured we received the bill, but that was the extent of their interaction. Water was never refilled, plates were not cleared until the end, and we had to go to the front to request an additional place setting.
My critical view of the service might be influenced by my recent trip to Taiwan, where every venue of similar caliber provided exceptional service without the expectation of a tip. Sometimes, I wish restaurants would simply charge more to include the cost of tipping in their prices, so I wouldn’t feel shortchanged by poor service and indifferent attitudes from the staff.

Christmas dinner – we were able to get a reservation the day before at opening time. After we started ordering, the place filled up fast! The restaurant may not be the fanciest place around but the food took me back to Tokyo. The servers were attentive and the Japanese food was great. Recommend sushi with cold sake, beer, and chicken karaage as starters. Nothing we ordered was a disappointment. Would love to return in the future when not visiting Japan.
