| - First, I thought this was the Ginza from the olden days of Oakland...a land far far away. I got food poisoning once at that one, as well as delicious korean food on other occasions.
For those without reading comprehension, this is a DIFFERENT GINZA.
The plan was a hurry up offense, of watching Jiro Dreams of Sushi, and then getting sushi. I called an audible, as we had to wait until the next day to watch Jiro (and then wanted to go back!)
We with a few rolls, (eel, salmon, and spicy yellowtail) to test the waters. All were delicious. Simple, tasty, filling. I am not really a sushi guy either.
BYOB was a huge plus, and as per usual, I ended up drinking more than my fair share. The service was very attentive, and friendly.
After nom-ing on those rolls, we decided to try a main dish- The wasabi steak. I ordered it rare, they understood what rare mean. King Richard was pleased.
The wasabi sauce was almost buttery with a bit less kick than I would have liked. Overall it was pretty good, not breathtaking, but good.
The price is very reasonable, especially compared to other recent dining (Sausalido) that was far less yummy.
Ginza is going to find its way into my rotation like NOW that's what I call music volume 6. I'm serious!
