Ginko Restaurant

The mixed sashimi plate and Horseradish Ponzu raw oyster plate (fried is an option) are pictured below from today. The menu was designed by the world famous chef of Nobu. To me, Ginko is still the premier sushi destination in Cleveland.

Best sushi I've had yet. Admittedly my sushi bar has been set pretty low as I've never been to a place of this caliber. That being said, I know enough to say with confidence this place is top notch. Service and staff are all friendly and excellent. Ask them for recommendations and try something new. The atmosphere iis really cool despite the restaurant's small size. It just had the right feeling for what that's worth. Sit at the bar and watch the masters make the food in front of you. It was fun watching all the different types of sushi being made. The seared salmon belly and seared scallop nigiri were excellent and easily my favorites. Try the salmon roe too. I was pleasantly surprised and roe has loads of good nutrients. All in all everything we got was excellent. It's easy to spend a ton of money but it was all worth it. Go give them a try.

After reading a review of Ginko and the mention of directly importing fish from overseas we were anticipating an above average meal: however, I wouldn’t say we were disappointed but at the same time, not overly enthused and ultimately learned that products are sourced at local wholesale providers conflicting prior information that indicated they personally had products directly delivered via air. The sushi was just average at best, the environment was stuffy with very little air flow due to the underground location and it was very hot, needed AC or outside air exchange of some sort. On the service end, I’ll give it a 6.5, somewhat slow and not paying attention to beverage refills, we had to ask someone other than our server, Nick, for refills. Drinks/wine = expensive with average pricing on popular rolls, some selections on the menu at a extremely high price point. We are pleased that we at least made the visit, however, we will not be returning. Some of the best sushi we’ve experience
