One of my favorite Japanese restaurants in the US is in Boston, called the Ginza. I dearly miss the perfect soft shell crab there, the baked eggplant... and that's just from the appetizer menu!
I was excited to drive by a new local restaurant in Cary, with the same name. Taking a nice location near Henry's Gelato on Darrington Drive, I hoped for the best...
But unfortunately, got the worst. The restaurant is elegantly decorated, but that was about the extent of positives I could come up with. As sushi lovers should know, the rice is the most important part of sushi - in a word, the Ginza sushi rice was horrible. Pieces were even completely dried, rendering the sushi barely edible. For the price, you might as well enjoy Harris Teeter leftovers.
The noodle dish we tried was mall-like - maybe acceptable for a mall shop... but not for a stand-alone Japanese restaurant.
Don't even bother going - but just so you know where to avoid:
