Ginza sushi & Cajun seafood — Restaurant in City of Poughkeepsie

OK, I rarely leave reviews because who has the time? But we three went to Poughkeepsie last night and decided to take a chance on sushi (of all things) in Poughkeepsie (of all places). I hate restaurants in general but the good reviews piqued my curiosity. We've had some really bad food locally so we lowered our expectations. Plus, the restaurant looked closed (on a Saturday night!) but we went in.

Inside was a cheery place with a big table of young people chowing down what looked like pretty awesome food. We sat down and ordered the rolls (my hubby is a white dude) and some pork Donkatsu (my friend, also a white dude) but as an Asian American woman who's eaten a lot of sushi and have also made sushi, I was really impressed with the quality, quantity, and value of the food. The miso soup and mushroom soup were perfect on a cold night and rolls were gloriously huge and extravagant and delicious, in the style of Haru Sushi in NYC, all freshly made to order. I wish I took some photos but I am not a millennial so I don't do that. I just wish we were hungry enough to go for the all you can eat for $34.95.

I gave 5 stars for ambiance because we loved the kids doing homework while the parents made the sushi and served the diners--a true family run business. We will return with bigger appetites next time.

ps- put some pretty string lights on the windows to let people know you are open...

Delicious. Affordable and Seating is Always Available.

My friends are regulars here and brought me for the first time.

Very understated exterior facade but as a sushi and sashimi lover who’s tried it in several different countries, the rolls here are top tier. While eating there was a nonstop flow of persons coming in to collect take out orders. That says it all!

Many places have a greater rice to fish ratio than it should. Here, as you see from my spicy tuna roll photo there is way more fish and filling than rice- it’s how it should be. Everything served quickly, the order was correct and all our food was great. I loved my sashimi ‘bouquet’. Portions were just right.

Next time I’m in town I...

I travel for work and im on the road two thirds of the year all over the east coast (primarily) and this is the best sushi ive had so far. Its so good it inspired this review which is rare for me but I felt compelled! The mango tuna wrap came out with one of the most stunning presentations ive ever seen and tasted better than it looked. The spicy tuna rolls are rich and not too spicy. The miso is the perfect amount of salty and rich and well as the Edamame was perfect! My girlfriend got the California dynamite roll and a chicken hibachi and the hibachi was far eclipsed by the sushi which actually complemented the sushi...
