Ginza is the kind of restaurant that you begin to call 'your own.'  It's not designed to be a large, sprawling restaurant.  In fact, after dining there for a while, you'll begin to realize that it's really a place where you learn the first names of the management and wait staff.  After a while, they remember your personal favorites.  If you've ever visited Japan, Ginza will instantly remind you of the land of Japan - the small, simple wood-walled restaurants that become the nucleus of the area.  For that reason (and many others), we highly recommend Ginza for a great sushi meal - especially when ordering Scallop and Unagi.

Ginza Japanese Restaurant 5868 San Felipe Street Houston, Texas 77057 Website: None at this time Telephone Number: (713) 785-0332 Private room?  Various sizes for various groups Reservations: Only required for private rooms Parking: Limited.  We recommend visiting Ginza before lunch/dinner crowds to ensure a parking spot. Happy Hours? No, but daily specials on many items	One of the best points to Ginza is the instant you walk in the door.  Typically, you are greeted by the management.  How many restaurants can say that?  After being greeted, check the specials - you'll see them as soon as you enter.  Usually, Ginza provides great lunch, dinner and sushi specials every day. Look at the entire menu.  Ginza has a full lunch menu, full dinner meny and a full sushi roll menu.  Don't make the mistake of merely looking at one menu and assuming you've seen it all. If you love iced tea, order it.  It's freshed brewed, dark and delicious.
	If you order a Spicy Tuna Roll from Ginza, it's not what you might be thinking.  Most Spicy Tuna Rolls are small (uramaki - rice on the outside) and tasty but not enough to fill your stomach.  Ginza is different.  Order a Spicy Tuna Roll for about $6.00 and see if you are still hungry.  Many of Ginza's sushi rolls are wrapped differently (with the nori/seaweed on the outside) and the pieces are large (they truly care about you, getting a great value for the cost of your meal). If you dine alone, the sushi bar will be perfect for you.  If you plan to dine as a group, ask for a table.  Ginza's sushi bar might seat a maximum of 12 people and even when you sit there, the sushi chefs are really active at their stations.  Ginza also provides two small, private rooms for 5 and 7 people and one large rooms that can be divided into two rooms.   But always call to check on the availablity.  Ginza is a smaller than average restaurant so the potential to find a full private room is much more likely.
