New Ginza is a cute place - nice atmosphere. The sushi is very good and the waitstaff are attentive. They have a good selection of maki rolls. I think they are a little overpriced, but the quality is very good.... (more)

I think a mistake was made from the previous post. The waitresses in New Ginza NEVER wear kimonos. They wear white shirt, tie, and black pants all the time since the very beginning. rocca44 must have been to a wrong... (more)

I went to this place after hearing all the great reviews, but was very disappointed. First of all, the place smelled as I entered with my friends (we all noticed it). The service was not impressive and was very slow. The... (more)

Some of the best waitstaff I've had at a sushi restaurant. Very relaxed atmosphere and pleasing decor. Food was a bit pricey, but good. The presentation was exceptional, though I'd rather skip that and save on price.... (more)

We just happened to drive by it when we fist moved to Boston from Atlanta, and to our surprise it is the best Japanese food we've had so far. Every time we eat there the food is consistently fresh, the wait staff is... (more)

New Ginza is excellent! It is the best sushi outside of Boston. The wait staff is so friendly, and they are great with children. The manager knows the names of all his regular customers and makes it a point to make them... (more)

The New Ginza is a dleightful experience. The location is probably what keeps it from being more crowded, because the food is delicious and the decor is attractive. The Bento Box is really enough for two, starting... (more)

New Ginza is located strangely but it's so worth it once you're inside! The sushi is perfect my favorite is the Fashion Maki. Their lunch special sushi boat is very generous too much for one person I recommend... (more)

New Ginza is open until 10:30 on the weekend, which is great when you want a sushi fix and the Porter Exchange has been closed for an hour. Everything here is quality. Look for the appetizer of strips of raw beef with a... (more)

I was at New Ginza about a year ago and I still remember the taste. I am an avid sushi fan and have had sushi from all over. THIS IS MY FAVORITE PLACE EVER. We need a New Ginza here in New York and New Jersey!... (more)

I'm a picky New Yorker and an admittedly harsh restaurant critic. We've gone to all the best-rated sushi restaurants in Boston, and think New Ginza is the best. It has a great variety of both basics and creations,... (more)

I go as often as I can. I usually end up getting takeout nowadays, but the decor is always clean and contemporary. I usually sit down only if I happen to be there for lunch these days, as it starts to get a little more... (more)

I get take out from Ginza once or twice a month since they've first opened. The food is always so so fresh. Although you have to wait in a small hallways it's worth it. They often will offer you hot tea while you wait for... (more)

Fantastic sushi that rivals, if not surpasses Oishii, great service and no wait!!! Only regret is that it is in Watertown, but that should help keep the crowds at bay. (more)

New Ginza is by far the best Japanese restuarant in Boston. The quality of the food at New Ginza is complemented by the creativity in its innovative dishes while the service is just impecable. The staff is friendly,... (more)

New Ginza serves up some of the best sushi I've ever had (every time I visit!). I'm constantly impressed with the food, service, and even presentation. Price is typical, but is a value when you sample their high... (more)

Went there new year's eve, when we were kept waiting for more than half an hour despite having reservations. The sushi turned out to be bland and flavorless with a tiny selection of options. [The cooked food may have... (more)
