Ginza...mmmmmm

Ginza was fabulous! After eating there I have been craving a "X-Roll". It was DELICIOUS! I was surprised that I liked it so well. The service and atmosphere was great, and company was phenomenal!

Our International Tour of Draper

I just noticed our theme and I love it! Seems we are doing our own little international epicurean jaunt without having to leave those hallowed boundaries of Drapertown. First we visited Italy (or a somewhat bastardized version of it), then Japan and next is Mexico. Good thing we have DeLaina to translate the languages for us!

Good Grief Ginza

I posted these comments under Laura's post, but then she helped me figure out how to do a regular post, so I thought I'd just copy these into a real, grown-up post of my very own.

The company at Ginza was spectacular! Great conversation and fun stories. And the service was terrific. It's hard to separate bills at a sushi restaurant, but our server did it anyway (with a little resistance.)

However, I'm a sushi LOVER! Given a choice between sushi and any other food I'd always choose sushi. In fact, I think even grocery-store sushi is usually better than many other choices. Because of my ongoing sushi craving, I've tried a lot of it. It's one of my major food groups.

My standards for sushi aren't incredibly high, but I do expect certain things. I thought the nigiri sushi at Ginza was good, especially the unagi. But the maki rolls were warm and loose and very sub-par. In fact, although I did help Bonnie eat her shrimp rolls, they were not very tasty at all!

The maki choices were limited and very Americanized. I was a little disappointed. I didn't try the sashimi, but because of the way the maki was served I might be afraid to try it there. I'm not sure I would go back to Ginza without the promise of interesting company because of the many other superior choices for sushi in the valley. I might have to drive farther, but I know the quality will be there at places like Ichiban, Samurai Sushi, and Kyoto.

Can't wait for the next girl's night out! Did we pick our next place?

Ginza...ooolala

I was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. I was expecting great company, and got fabulous food too!! The service was prompt and attentive. The atmosphere was very relaxing, and though it is a smaller restaurant, the use of space was very appealing. I ordered the X-roll, soup and salad, and let me tell you the X-roll is the BOMB!! Ever since eating there I have been craving the X-roll. Maybe is had drugs in it??? With pms I usually want ice cream and pizza, and now I badly want...sushi?? Something strangly odd about that! But, okay so if you want to try it out, I am ready to go! Yum yum!

I can't believe I didn't know this restaurant was in Draper and have never been?! Is it new?

I really loved this place, the food was wonderful. I am not a fan of seafood or by extension sushi. So I can't vouch for that specialty. I had the teriyaki beef and tempura. Wow! Seriously, it was fantastic. I figured I'd be getting the token Ceaser Salad or chicken strips that I typically do at a seafood place, so perhaps my enthusiasm was colored a bit in that light.

Service was even great. Friendly, happy, and did an order substitution for me with no questions (didn't want the shrimp tempura so they brought me extra veggie tempura).

I'd go back anytime, I really enjoyed the whole night. And as would be expected, the company was best of all!
