Ginza Gourmet Teriyaki House — Restaurant in Fresno

I found Ginza while out on business in the Central Valley looking for some deals on Upside. This place intrigued me as I was going to be in the area Friday and I needed meatless or fish items. This place can be a little tricky to find if it's your first time going here, but it's easy on and off. This store reminds me of places like Hibachi Express that are more quick-serve than full restaurant. That said, the atmosphere is nice for for a hole in the wall restaurant. The food was good, though it could use a few tweaks to make it awesome. I had the "scampi" shrimp with tempura shrimp and veggies plate and a bowl of miso soup. The soup came out piping hot a d freshly made and for the most part tastes as miso soup should. Service for the main plate had prompt, but also as if made to order. The plates come with a scoop of steamed rice and a small side salad. The rice was just right and fresh, the salad was nothing home to write about. It was good, bit didn't stick out. The tempura batter was light and crispy, but the sauce served with the tempura didn't add much for me. This might be a case where a different dip/sauce would come in handy. The other small critique is that I'd like to see at least two pieces of tempura shrimp for that particular plate. Felt like it was mostly tempura vegetables to me. The real highlight was the scampi-styled shrimp. The sauce they used was very flavorful (you can also request to adjust the spice level, too). The shrimp was cooked very well and the main dilemma was that I wanted more of it. Most folks will like spend at least $15 for a meal (entrée and drink); the cheapest dish is around $12-$13. If you want sides or eating with family, definitely expect about $15/adult. While a fast-service restaurant, I had a good experience with the service. The front of the house was attentive with my order and also took care of the soda refills. They were also very personable as well and an overall experience. If you're looking for a relatively fast-service Japanese restaurant in Fresno, Ginza is a good choice. I believe they just need a couple tweaks and they would be a great...

Amazing food, heartfelt service, and a local gem worth every visit! Ginza Gourmet Teriyaki House serves some of the best teriyaki we've ever had. The portions are generous, the flavors are spot on, and everything tastes fresh and made with care. The staff is incredibly friendly—you’re treated like family from the moment you walk in.

That said, for a $75 dine-in meal, being served on Styrofoam and paper plates with plastic utensils was underwhelming. The tables are a bit old and sticky, and the atmosphere doesn’t reflect how good the food is. It feels more like a takeout spot, which clashes with the pricing.

Still, the food and service make it hard to stay away. We love this place and truly hope it thrives. With a few upgrades to the dining experience, it could easily become a standout restaurant in the area. Highly recommended for the flavor and the...

First time here. I thought the food was good enough to warrant another visit. I came with my colleagues who all like the food. A lot of us had the teriyaki chicken or beef. Then for the sides we ordered the gyoza, calamari, and egg rolls. They were all very tasty. The price is a little high for the portion size and the location is kind of in an average location. They did use styrofoam ware for all the food so if you’re environmentally friendly then this place may not be for you. I recommend the spicy teriyaki chicken or beef. The gyoza was subpar and a little or priced but they were homemade. Each plate was served with a salad with miso dressing. It’s a nice casual place to bring a family of 4. You won’t over spend. They do also serve basic sushi rolls and inari which is the raw fish over rice. All in all it’s worth a visit and I will be back...
