Review from Jeff N.

3/6/2011 1 Check-in Here
We went to the Chinook location. Service was prompt and friendly. We started with the pork goyza (fried pork dumplings). Great flavour, nice thin dough crust .., yes we were fighting over who got the last one.
I had combo B (chicken) and my wife had combo C (salmon). There was a lot of food. The tempura was nice, although I've never been a fan - this was actually pretty good. The chicken was really good as was the California rolls and rice. I'm afraid to report that I didn't finish my dinner, it was just too much (sorry Mom).
I'm sure we will be back! -

My sister loves this place, so I went with her and my nephew one day to check it out. Their vegetarian combo platter had a sushi roll with eggs in it, so I asked if they could just replace it with an avocado roll. The waitress told me she'd ask the chef, and when she came back, she told me they wouldn't do it because they "don't do swap-outs" for the combo platters. I lied and told her I had an egg allergy, so she asked again and they complied. When the food came out, it was very ho-hum. Huge amounts of rice and the tiniest hint of a vegetable in the middle. Superstore has better portioned sushi.
Another time, we came in with my parents, and my Dad asked if he could have a fried egg with his dish. The waitress said she'd ask the chef, and when she came back, she told him that the chef refused to do it because they were too busy for special requests. I looked around, and there were only 2 other patrons aside from us.
The Willowpark location is MUCH better, with a better menu and more accommodating staff. I'm told the Chinook location's service has improved considerably since my last 2 visits, but I don't really want to deal with a place where the chef refuses to do special requests of any kind. -

I have been going to Sushi Ginza - both this location and the one in Willowpark - for several years now. I am sad to say that my experience has become increasingly dissatisfying with each successive visit.
The place was bustling when my companions and I arrived. We understood that service would be a little slow until the supper rush cleared. However, service remained slow even after the first rush cleared out.
Two of my companions and I each ordered a Sushi Combo B while the fourth member in our party ordered a Tonkatsu Curry Rice Bowl.
It was mediocre. Actually, it reminded me of the sushi take-out you can get at Sobey's. Only I would have paid $9.99 instead of $14.95. The California Rolls were passable but not great. The Tako sushi made my tummy roll over while the Tuna sushi remained as mushy as the last time I ate a tuna sushi there.
As for the Tonkatsu Curry, my friend said that it wasn't exactly bland. "Flavorful but not spicy" enough for his liking.
We never did get our water.
There are definitely better sushi joints in town. As for Sushi Ginza, the days of long ago when the tonkatsu was plump, juicy and flavorful; the service attentive and the parking was stellar are just a fading memory.
Minus 1 star for mediocre food. Minus another for mediocre service, although I get the sense some of my companions might even deduct another 1/2 star.
