4 reviews for Ginbu 401
I was in the mood for sushi last Saturday night, so we decided to give Ginbu a try since we had a coupon. The outside and inside aren't anything that you'd "wow" over. They've definitely tried to create an Asian atmosphere, but it's not classy or even "fun" or lively. My partner thought the place used to be a bagel joint.
Our server was fantastic and attentive. Sure, it was a slow night, but we never had to wait for anything.
While the regular menu looked pretty extensive, the sushi menu was pretty short. We ordered several sushi rolls and all were good-sized and VERY delicious. The only bad thing was that they were priced the same as a fancier sushi place, so I feel that I didn't get the same value. The others offer atmosphere, so you don't mind paying the price. Ginbu, unfortunately, doesn't offer any sort of truly "wowing" atmosphere, so I feel they should compensate by lowering their prices on the sushi rolls if they want repeat business.
Food and service = excellent
Atmosphere = average
Pricing = a bit high for the atmosphere
This place and Dragonfly are the two places we order Chinese from. I have not tried the sushi here yet. I actually haven't been in the place yet either, although I have driven by it. As not many places seem to deliver to us, it's great that they have free delivery. The food is above average. Dan dan noodles are spicy and yummy, and the steamed potstickers were perfect.. My son loves vegetable fried rice, and this was a good one because it had big pieces of broccoli, carrot and snow pea in it, instead of the usual diced up bits of vegetables. The food is plentiful. and reasonably priced.
Ginbu is fairly simple, cheap and quick Chinese food and sushi. It's a good place for non-sushi-lovers to go, because I can get teriyaki chicken or mongolian beef while my friends order a variety platter of sushi. My boyfriend likes the spicy tuna or salmon hand rolls and the crab tempura maki rolls.
It's a good place to get takeout. Plus, they deliver.
GInbu 401 has become our #1 ordering place for Chinese take-out and Sushi. That's what's great about Ginbu: they have both, and it's pretty good.
I don't think too highly of Ginbu as an eat-in place, but it's always fairly bustling, so clearly other people think so. I love the dumplings and the Dragon roll on the Japanese side, and the Chicken Kung Pao on the Chinese side of the menu (order it spicy; it lacks flavor otherwise).
It's not the highest quality sushi fish, but it's good enough, especially for the price. The chinese food isnt anything special, but it's not bad--it's pretty run of the mill. When you order, it comes pretty quickly, which is why it's #1 on our rolodex.
