You don't need to be a die-hard fan of sushi to appreciate this place. There is probably no other basement space better utilized in the multitude of restaurants in our fair city. Ginko transports you away to Tokyo, and seems to do so in a genuine way. Not that I would know for sure, seeing as I've never been east of NIagara Falls, but I digress.
The staff was especially friendly and patient in answering our flurry of questions, so don't hesitate to ask. The shrimp tempura, miso soup, and Spicy tuna that I tried were all the best that I'd ever had of these familiar names seen on any menu featuring east Asian cuisine in the United States. Next time I will need to branch out more. There is an endless variety of raw seafood in sushi form on the menu.
Ginko is a great place to stop with friends, and maybe a nice change of pace for something new in Tremont. After all the times you've undoubtedly passed it without realizing, you will not regret stopping into this special hideout.
