Let me say the staff is great. Refilling water, and smiling just makes your experience a whole lot better. The food was ok ... Not great but its good for a nice meal. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit, although the BATHROOMS ARE VERY VERY STRANGE!

My 3 friends and I went here last night, one of my friends has been here before. First of all, LOVE the atmosphere, the light wood and minimalistic decor are a perfect esthetic. The Host and bartender were prompt, polite and attentive, we had a short wait of about 15 minutes. The only unfortunate thing is that there isn't really... More

We love New Ginza and try and get there whenever we are near Watertown. The food is consistently good. I LOVE the bento box for lunch --and REALLY wish they offered it at dinner as well.

New Ginza is my go-to place for sushi near home. There's a sushi bar or cozy booths for dining in or you can get take out as well. My kids love the Udon/tempura soup and they also have cocktails/beer if you are so inclined. Definitely recommended if you are staying nearby at the Crowne Plaza it's a very short distance... More

The food is ok in this restaurant (not great or excellent). The place is small and if you want to try some Japanese food in the area this is not bad. The service is not great. The staff is efficient but not friendly.

The Sushi is fresh. The atmosphere is nice. Despite off a very busy street, a nice restaurant experience. I went for lunch and they had no problem me switching my California Maki for a Tuna Roll on their lunch special. The lunch special came with soup and salad. All in all, very satisfied. Have eaten here in the past and... More

Delicious sushi and perhaps the best edamame I've had in Boston. Waitstaff was also very attentive. Really great spot, I will definitely be back!
