I found Ginza while out on business in the Central Valley looking for some deals on Upside. This place intrigued me as I was going to be in the area Friday and I needed meatless or fish items. This place can be a little tricky to find if it's your first time going here, but it's easy on and off.This store reminds me of places like Hibachi Express that are more quick-serve than full restaurant. That said, the atmosphere is nice for for a hole in the wall restaurant.The food was good, though it could use a few tweaks to make it awesome. I had the "scampi" shrimp with tempura shrimp and veggies plate and a bowl of miso soup. The soup came out piping hot a d freshly made and for the most part tastes as miso soup should. Service for the main plate had prompt, but also as if made to order. The plates come with a scoop of steamed rice and a small side salad. The rice was just right and fresh, the salad was nothing home to write about. It was good, bit didn't stick out. The tempura batter was light and crispy, but the sauce served with the tempura didn't add much for me. This might be a case where a different dip/sauce would come in handy. The other small critique is that I'd like to see at least two pieces of tempura shrimp for that particular plate. Felt like it was mostly tempura vegetables to me. The real highlight was the scampi-styled shrimp. The sauce they used was very flavorful (you can also request to adjust the spice level, too). The shrimp was cooked very well and the main dilemma was that I wanted more of it.Most folks will like spend at least $15 for a meal (entrée and drink); the cheapest dish is around $12-$13. If you want sides or eating with family, definitely expect about $15/adult. While a fast-service restaurant, I had a good experience with the service. The front of the house was attentive with my order and also took care of the soda refills. They were also very personable as well and an overall experience.If you're looking for a relatively fast-service Japanese restaurant in Fresno, Ginza is a good choice. I believe they just need a couple tweaks and they would be a great place to go.

Great food! Everything I've had is fantastic! I've eaten here for more than 25 years! Both the original owners and the close friends who they sold it to are Terrific! They work daily at the restaurant to ensure every order is prepared with love! Service is terrific and although the ambiance is more ouster the appreciation of the owner(s) for your business far outweighs the lack of fan fare of the basic tables/chairs. Highly recommend this place!!!!

Absolutely wonderful and tasty meal!We got the spicy crispy chicken, beef bowl, miso soup, and gyoza. Everything was tasty and homemade (even the gyozas!).The woman working the front was so sweet and hospitable. They have a stream of steady customers coming in and majority from what we noticed were regulars. She even remembers their regular customer’s orders, impressive!I wish this was near where we lived, I’d be a regular too!

Walked in for the second time and they make me feel like family. Very clean very friendly, so many great options. Beef teriyaki is my go to!! You can get a bowl or a few dollars more a plate with a salad, I'm so glad this place is near my work.

I love this place! I have been coming here for years and years, and their food is always good. My favorite is the teriyaki chicken bowl. An amazing family runs this amazingly delicious restaurant, they are kind and welcoming. All 4 of my kids enjoy the food and that is a hard accomplishment for all of them to agree to a place and love the food. You can even order over the phone and have it ready by the time you pick it up.Kid-friendliness: My kids love it!
