Ginza Sushi & Korean BBQ 5291 Valleydale Road, Birmingham, AL 35242

"Very good food! Love the cook it yourself style restaurants! Service was great, though they forgot to add our sushi onto the order (they added it later on). Over all, very delicious and has great service! Would definitely recommend."

"Absolutely amazing experience so much fun! Perfect for a fun night for groups of two to four. The hot pot tables are only four tops so your larger parties do get a little separated, but it was still so much fun! The whole cooking experience was exciting. I will Def be going back for date nights and even going to take my mother to try it for the first time. Food was 10/10. Price is perfect for everything you get! Will be back! Get there early so you are guaranteed a table top"

"This was my first time here. My waitress helped me understand the menu to get best bang for my buck. I ordered the Tako-su appetizer (thinly sliced octopus- super fresh!) and the Korean entree with bulgogi and samgyubsal (marinated thinly sliced ribeye and pork belly- great cuts of meat loaded with flavor!). You can't have KBBQ without soju, and the banchan (side dishes) were refreshing."

"Some of the worst food I've had in the city, very disappointing. The spring rolls were cold and the cabbage inside was complete mush. The California roll was clearly premade and just taken out of the fridge. The bibimbap was served cold and not well prepared. The tofu was unpressed and completely unseasoned. The radishes had almost no flavor except for spice. The only thing I ended up eating was the squid salad which is premade everywhere you go so it tastes the same everywhere. Service was not good either, we had to ask multiple times for silverware and had to get our server's attention multiple times for things like water or to take our dishes away. To top it all off, the server and the manager tried to argue with us and told us we don't know how to eat and we don't know what good food is, and refused to take the food we didn't eat off the bill. I'm very disappointed because I heard good things but it seems they changed their menu and chef."

"The sushi is fantastic. The crunchy shrimp is awesome. This place is never very busy and they have attentive service. I tried the Korean BBQ (which is not a plate of meat with sauce on it). They sit you at a table with a grill in the middle and you cook your own food. Only give this a 4 as I am not a fan of cooking my own food but it was a fun experience."
