Ginger Sushi Bar & Lounge — Restaurant in Bucharest

We chose "Ginger" as a restaurant for dinner out of all of Bucharest and left quite disappointed - I have no idea how this place is ranked in the top places on tripadvisor.

The sushi is very, very fresh.

The food served to us was over salty.

The service is lacking - the waiters are not that kind. When we told one of the waiters that the food was salty, he replied: "You should have said that before" - when we told him that if someone had approached us we would have told him that, he had nothing to say about it.

The dessert with the chocolate and cottage cheese was very bad, as if the cheese inside was spoiled. When we asked to change the dessert to a caramel cake, we were told that it had just run out.

Even an average restaurant was better than what we experienced there.

We then approached the hotel staff to ask if the restaurants located in the hotel and the hotel itself (Radisson Blue) have the same management or a separate management? We were told that this particular restaurant has separate management.

Since we didn't see a restaurant manager, we couldn't share...

Best suchi in Bucharest - promised and delivered.

Usually I don’t go for Asian food if I don’t the place or if I don’t go with people who know what we eat.

This was a pleasant surprise.

Location: the heart of Bucharest, lobby area of Radisson blue hotel.

Atmosphere: clean, spacious, modern design, friendly staff.

Service: quick and very professional. Petru has an excellent customer service skills, friendly approach and patience. Great and honest suggestions and goes extra mile (as I wanted a desert from the bar, not from sushi place).

Food: amazing sushi. Can’t remember when I had such a good experience with Asian food. Desert was fantastic - light and delicious.

Price: as a hotel restaurant it is expected to have a higher price. So I assume it had its touristic moment, but as for the experience- totally fine.

Would I recommend it - we’ll...

This restaurant rates highly on Google and deservedly so. The dining area is spacious and clean, and the staff were very polite and efficient. We ordered edamame, the 17-piece Royal platter, salmon chirashi, and the beef sirloin. All of these dishes were fabulous. The sirloin was medium rare and very tender, while the sashimi literally melted in your mouth. My partner particularly liked the chirashi. We would have ordered one of the larger platters, but we wanted to try the other dishes, too. All this was washed down with a decent bottle of locally produced sauvignon blanc, and we finished the meal with a nice selection of mochi. Not the cheapest sushi restaurant in Bucharest, but we couldn't fault the place, and it was definitely excellent...
