Ginza Japanese Steak House & Sushi Bar

We happened to find this place accidentally on my sister's birthday a few years ago. The food has been excellent that time and ever since. The hibachi is awesome and their chefs put on a fun show. And their sushi is some of the best I have eaten. We live about 45 minutes away but don't mind driving as they beat any of the hibachi restaurants here in lake county.

Best hibachi hubby and I have found yet, but you'll really only get your money's worth at lunch. We've found that the portion of food they bring out to cook does not vary whether they are cooking for 2 or 6. There is also considerably more confusion later into the evening with certain cooks and variations to listed specials (such as double noodle instead of traditional noodle and rice) as well as mix ups with ordering all one protein versus the variety. Takeout is good, but generally slow. Haven't tried the sushi but later in the evening this area is generally quite busy as well, which tends to be a good sign.

Whether you sit in the bar/lounge and have it brought to your table already made, or at one of the cooking surface tables, Genza delivers on the hibachi style you're used to from competitors like Kobe Steakhouse, without pricing the maintenance for a massive koi pond into your meal. They even do the onion volcano at the cooktop tables.

I am an Orlando visitor, and came here cause my sister's birthday meal was here. The food was tasty. No doubt. The cook was hilarious. Drinks kept being refilled without thought of it. Salad... I was never asked if I wanted dressing on it or not... I like salad, but not salad dressing. Usually people ask what kind of dressing if any. Meat... Although tasty portion was low. The RICE was massive amount The cook buried my spoon in the rice on my plate. I dunno what that was about. People/Workers... Nice, friendly. Its not local (for me), it is affordable, but the chances of me coming back are slim as 2 other Japanese restaurant locations (One being more expensive) I would rather repeat then come here. This is NOT a steak house. Don't come here for steak people. This is a Japanese restaurant which specializes in sushi, interactive cooking and Japanese food. If you want steak go to a REAL steakhouse which specializes in STEAKS. Oh my MAIN reason for the 4 stars besides the salad/spoon/meat issue. The AC (Air Conditioning) is HORRIBLE in here. If this wasn't an issue despite the mishap of the spoon, and lack of meat and salad dressing issue I would of STILL given it a 5 stars. The AC made it feel like it was 83-85/F inside. This place in my humble opinion is better than Kobe due to the taste Kobe was a bit more interactive on the cooking, and has better AC Ginza has better prices then Kobe Meat portions are better at Kobe Kobe is more packed with people This place is a bit more quiet - So pick your poison wisely.
