Ginga Japanese Restaurant

The sushi train was not working. We ordered 2 x salmon teriyaki plates. It took a while. When it arrived the salmon was not cooked through and was cold in the middle. I’d say it looked as if it was pre-prepared and had been microwaved. We complained, the young waiter took it away and we didn’t see it again. We tried the gyoza dumplings, which were also cold in the middle and dry on the outside (microwaved?). After waiting about 15 mins for the salmon to come back we left. I said to the waitress on the counter I’d pay for my beer and one meal but not both. She apologised profusely and did

This place deserves 5 stars - staff were friendly and food was amazing. My new favourite sushi joint.

Good food, no sushi train running when we were there but there wasn't a long wait to order or to get our food served. Fresh and yummy with a large selection of typical Japanese. Licensed. Free 1 hour parking right out the front.

Waitress was more interested in talking to her friends rather than taking orders. Waited to long then got up and left. Will never go back.

We made a phone booking a few days ahead for a table for 5 and left a contact number. On arrival we were told that due to staff sickness they were only serving takeaways that day. No call had been received from the restaurant. Can’t comment on the food as we went elsewhere. Very poor customer service.

Awful. The salmon teriyaki was like rubber. The sashimi was cut in pieces far too large and did not melt in your mouth. Was over priced. Has gone seriously downhill in the last few years.

Nice sushi, I was a little disappointed but the staff are super friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is a little cold and clinical but that would be an easy fix. Thanks for a nice meal.

Food selection and quality is pretty average. Not a lot sushi on display at their sushi train conveyor belt. All you can see are plastic covered signs inviting you to pre order directly If we can't find what we want. This then defeats the purpose of the sushi train. Perhaps advertised for an ala carte menu.

Service was great, food was good. Would definitely recommend the wagyu beef option. The vegetable tempura is not as good as it used to be with no pumpkin or asparagus but mostly capsicum unfortunately.

Thought this will be open after 10:00PM from the Yelp data untill 11 PM. But unlike what they posted here it closed at 10:00PM.
Closing early is actually very bad mainly because people would come really hungry to the restaurant and when they find it closed it would be terribly disappointing. It would give the restaurant bad business karma.

Very good Japanese food good friendly service for the young waitress she was Korean but very helpful ...
Haven't had nice Japanese food like this since I was in Japan ..would go again recommend it to try and reasonable price 👍🏻 🇯🇵

The choice of food on the sushi train was outstanding. So much great food and nothing disappointed! Value for money too! It's a must in South Bank.

What I really like about Ginga sushi bar is that their Tuna and Avocado + Teriyaki Chicken roll's contain noticeably more meat than other sushi trains. They also have BBQ pork buns and wontons, which aren't available at most sushi trains. They also have a decent selection of desserts.

Some of their sushi plates are a bit different, such as a sushi roll that contains sausage and lettuce with melted cheese on top of it. It is the type of dish that you would try once for the novelty.

Their pricing is reasonable, they are centrally located in Southbank, right next to the movie theatre

Food is good and portion sizes are pretty large.
Unfortunately, for us, every time we go there, there is a large difference in time between when each person's mall is delivered. Some of our group finished eating before the other's food arrived.
Be warned, it may take a while between ordering and your food being brought out.

Situated next to the cinema in a busy location, this place is a convenient place to meet up with friends or go on a date. The staff are friendly and you are seated upon arrival. The place itself is very modern and comfortable. You can see the chefs cooking and the conveyor belt offers a large variety of foods. This includes sushi rolls, spring rolls, dumplings, pork buns and desserts. There is a menu which you can order off also and there is usually not too long of a wait. I would be inclined to try the larger dishes next time such as ramen, curries etc. however being in such a popular location

It's always time for sushi. I go here a lot after the movies, before the movies and on my lunch breaks at TAFE it's fast and easy and convenient for those on the go!

I've had previously a chance to dine at Ginga in Portside, Hamilton and was happy about the food and service. Looks like not every Ginga place is on the same level. Had a chance to eat in Ginga at Grey St recently and left hugely disappointed. For two simple soups we had to wait over 40 minutes and the place wasn't crowded. I was willing to leave after 30 minutes, but was so freakin' hungry that decided to hang in there to finally get my delicious soup. Unfortunately my patience wasn't rewarded - the soup was very average and the beef was so chewy I wasn't able to eat most

Dumplings tasted like sticky paste. And the tap water got strange smell. Never stepping back in again.

Don't.. just don't.
Terrible staff and the food is average.
Had my menu taken from me while I was still looking and half our table was cleared while the other had still not been cleared by the time we left.
In prime restaurant location but does not deliver.

Nice service BUT incredibly average Japanese; the curry could be from a packet mix and the omelette was dry and dull.
If you really need Japanese and everything else in the city is closed at least go to the take-away section and for half the price you can eat it in the park. $17 for these meals is absurd.
No a fan.

Food was really good, had different ramen style noodles.
Service was a bit slow and forgot the sushi we ordered...

The dangers of trusting a slippery slope can be dire! This is true of my experiences with Ginga. At once my evenings at Ginga were filled with the smiles and laughter that only good sake and sushi can bring, but now they are filled with the tears and tears alone.

A few years ago my family used to patron Ginga regularly. I had recently moved out of home and I suspect my mother enjoyed watching me fervently grab plates of sushi off the train and eat them with shameless delight. During these evenings we'd often drink a few pitchers of sake and watch a movie at the cinemas next door. The service

Ginga Sushi is in my top two favourite sushi places. Granted, I prefer to wander in and take advantage of their sushi train rather than the waiter service with cooked Japanese food by the order, but I've always found their food to be fantastic and their staff to be welcoming.

There's always a really great selection of fresh sushi rolls and fried dishes (yummmm) that are ready and waiting to be plucked from the conveyor belt. There are always new things coming around and your selection is never limited.

Your time however, is limited in that you cannot stay at the sushi bar for very long

Ginga is one of the few places in Brisbane that serves hot Japanese food as well as sushi. When you go in you can choose which you would like and be seated accordingly; the restaurant is halved with a sushi train on one side and traditional tables on the other. I have not had the sushi there, as I am a huge fan of all Japanese food and couldn't pass up the rare opportunity to have some of my favourite noodles.

We all know that sushi is incredibly popular and deserves to be so, but I think hot Japanese food has been severely underrated as it was somehow forgotten when sushi made it's
