Editorial Review for Ginza Japanese Cuisine and Sushi Bar – by Virginia Rainey
The Scene
The interior is basic and spare, decorated with sleek, modern light fixtures and an L-shaped sushi bar. There are plenty of tables with comfortable chairs, but if you sit at the bar, you can watch the chefs in action.
The Food
The various types of sushi and sashimi are always fresh and fine. When soft shell crab is in season, order it. Crackling crisp on the outside, tender and delicate on the inside, it's artfully presented. Rolls can seem a bit pricey, but every bite is worth the cost. The house special is Tokyo-style sukiyaki. It consists of tender, thin-sliced beef, tofu, shiitake mushrooms and Napa cabbage, all swimming in a broth of sweet rice wine and soy sauce. It's more than enough for two people and reasonably priced--an excellent choice.

My husband and I went to the Ginza in Draper tonight - totally disappointed. Food: We each ordered miso (which is usually a telltale sign when you start off with bad miso soup) We also ordered a few sushi rolls(which were $13.95 a roll) When they came to the table they looked and tasted pretty dull. For that amount of money - I would have expected something better than $35 worth of sushi crammed together on some salad plate. It just did not look appetizing at all!! Service: I was still eating and the waitress reached over and tried to take my plate! She asked "are you all done or are you still picking at that!" My husband and I just stared at her - what? The description for my roll said it was topped with eel sauce - nope! nothing. (had to ask for some) My husbands roll was supposed to be topped with mint leaves -nada. (not that it would have improved the taste) Anyways - if you are looking for decent sushi - STAY AWAY FROM GINZA!! I cant imagine how this location is still in business with how expensive and disappointing the food was. I'm going back to Suehiro in Ft Union. At least you can expect decent service and a lot better food.
Pros: nothing
Cons: overpriced food, presentation was NOT good, food tasted pretty dull, Serive was rushed

I always drove by Ginza with wonder. From the outside it doesn't appear to be the most chic place, but it truly is. The interior is beautiful, and much more spacious than you would assume from its facade. I am not a sushi expert- but have consumed my share of it, and was impressed with the rolls. I had the X-roll, and the baja roll, which was creative, spicy, and totally satisfying. Most assuredly would reccommend to savvy salt lake citizens!!!
Pros: Great selection of sushi/beverages, cheap, all around awesome
Cons: none, totally AWESOME
