| - 2.5/5, +.5 for service
So I've been to Ginza a couple of times when I had to use the services beside this restaurant (acupuncture facility). This past weekend was the first time I went to the renovated Kaga. I wasn't expecting much; after all it is a Chinese run Japanese restaurant.
They have lunch specials here, however you won't see it in the website. It is a completely separate piece of paper on the menu, and can also be seen in the front door. I had the sushi set, since I saw some photos here thinking there would be diversity in the fish selection. My grandma ordered the veggie and mushroom soba.
The miso soup and salad that came with our meals tasted okay, though the enoki mushrooms were not of high quality. Meh, I kinda expected it.
The sushi pieces were salmon, tuna, shrimp, surf clam, crab, and abalone...so I guess they change every so often. Also included were 6 small pieces of salmon makis. The presentation was poor, particularly the salmon makis that were clumsily done. The food itself tasted decent, with the exception of the abalone that tasted like plastic. The salmon makis were okay aside from the fact the salmon was very thin. As for the veggie and mushroom soba, my grandma seemed to really enjoy it. I never had a sip so I guess I'll take her word for it.
We also ordered the two piece chicken skin robata-yaki, which was quite a mistake. It didn't taste like anything at all really. Save the $4 please.
I'll probably still end up dining here if someone in my family using the acupuncture facility beside this restaurant. Too lazy to drive anywhere else.
