Genji Japanese Restaurant

One of my favorite lunch time spots in downtown because the food is good, the service is quick and the place is always very clean. They have a cold deli with a selection of bottled drinks and small cold dishes to go. The menu is small but this allows them to make high quality meals quickly. The large windows make for a nice ambient lit room to have lunch in.

GInza serves reasonably good sushi at good prices near Jack London square. My friend and I dined here with our buddy from San Francisco. The basic spicy tuna roll was good, their Double Double roll was good if not great. My friend chriashi was pretty good but again not a stand out. I liked this place and would go back. Alas, I've yet to find an East Bay sushi place that can compete with what you get at Ebisu, Warakbune, Eiji, or many of the other sushi places in the City. So I would not go out of my way to eat here. I also noted that like many East Bay and Sacramento sushi places Ginza relies on a lot of fried rolls...you can certainly get away from those here but I've taken to use the number of fried rolls on offer as a barometer of overall quality...more fried = less likely to be truly superlative.

My favorite lunch spot. Very healthy, fresh food. Portions are perfect for me as it never makes me feel bloated. Delicious shrimp teriyaki and their miso soup is amazing. This is not a sushi restaurant - I've seen some people mistake it for one. They serve teriyaki bento plates with rice, protein, small cucumber vinegar salad and edamame. It fills me up for the day. Owned by the very sweet and nice husband and wife (chef and cashier). The line cooks are also super nice guys. Love this place very much!

I came here about 2 weeks ago for lunch and man was it delicious! I ordered a to go plate with Teriyaki chicken, Teriyaki shrimp, and brown rice but it also came with edamame and this tangy lime cucumber salad. I highly recommend this restaurant! My new favorite spot I can't wait to take my family here
