Ginza Sushi & Izakaya

This is one of the best Sushi restaurant in Tucson. Service is excellent. A wide variety of Sushi options. I personally like the Udon. Located in the foothills of Tucson. Worth the visit. Reservations are highly recommended as it gets very busy

I returned to Ginza in Tucson with a critic’s memory and a parent’s schedule. Last time was a late-night romp with friends—cold beers, reckless sushi, a blur of excellent bites. Tonight, earlier, the desert air ran soft, so we claimed a table outside with the kids and let the evening unspool. Japanese beers beaded with promise. We ordered like joyful bandits—almost half the menu—yet clarity arrived with the yellowtail sashimi: cool, lunar slices, silken and bright, the kind of purity that hushes a table. Gyozas followed, pan-kissed and juicy, snapping with that perfect edge. A seaweed salad—feather-light, mineral, lively—proved that restraint can sing louder than spectacle. My wife’s ramen—broth deep as a drum, noodles with a springy grin—was a quiet thunder; I’ll claim it on my next visit, which won’t be far off. But the truest seasoning was company: dear friends, laughter folding into the dusk. Ginza doesn’t just serve dinner—it frames memories and lets them glow.

First time here, but it sure won't be the last! Everything was fresh, beautifully presented, and the service was outstanding. We ordered a Philadelphia Roll, the Mango Roll, the Heart Attack and the Baked Scallop Roll. I can honestly say we did not have one bad or mediocre thing. Favorite though? The Heart Attack. Drinks were equally as good. The Cherry Blossom & Typhoon are pictured here & were so good we had a second round! The chefs were amazing to watch in action & friendly. We will definitely return & spread the word!

Expensive for the quality and quantity. It was better than mediocre, and we paid over $90 for 5 smaller than average rolls and shrimp with noodles. For that expense, I would have expected some complimentary mizo soup or edamame. It was rated #1 on Yelp for sushi (the whole reason we went), and honestly I've been to better places in Tucson for sushi. There were lots of people there. It's small inside, the bathrooms were cute with the rock displays on the floor, but out of soap. The atmosphere was nice, dimly lit but very loud and our waiter spoke quietly we couldn't hear him. I don't think it'd go back. Not anything special and overpriced. The specialty rolls... weren't much better than the regular rainbow and dragon rolls. Not impressed, but it wasn't bad. If I went again I'd try a sushi boat... but may not be anytime soon.

The best sashimi we've had in Tucson! Get there early or make a reservation - it fills up fast. Don't skip the yellowtail, toro and albacore.
