| - Ah Ginza. You were once so fresh, so new, so completely next-door to my office, and your lunch specials were so outrageously priced it was almost more expensive for me NOT to frequent your establishment.
When it first opened, I was there. 6 bucks for miso, salad, edamame, and a bento or sushi combo or sashimi bowl. Then it was 7. Then it was 8. Now, the lunch specials average around 11 dollars, and the lunch AYCE is 13.99 Should you pay the extra 3 dollars? Yes. The AYCE menu includes a few Dim Sum options, all the appetizers, all the sushi and sashimi. It also features a few thai selections. My advice is to either prepare yourself to eat all that you can, or go somewhere else with cheaper lunch specials (Sushi Club on Charles perhaps?)
The sushi is above average quality - not as good as Wow! (but who is?) but far better than a lot of the yorkville/bloor station area alternatives. There are cheaper AYCE places in the neighbourhood (Natural, Aji Sai to name a couple) but Ginza's fish is tastier, their rolls are better made, and their selection is superior. The service tends to be sparse around lunchtime, but you can still get in and out, fully satisfied in an hour.
