After a really high-end steak dinner for his birthday, my son was feeling like Japanese food, specifically Sushi. He and his girlfriend took me to Gintaro, a very nice Japanese restaurant close to Edmonton. We decided to order a few items and share. We got an order of Chicken Karaage, a combination sushi/sashimi/roll platter, and a sashimi platter. It was all very fresh and tasty and the food came to the table so fast! The quality and freshness of the various pieces of nigiri and sashimi was excellent. The presentation was very beautiful. And the taste was incredible! I would highly recommend going the Gintaro and trying it out!
Literally one of the underrated Japanese restaurants out there and definitely deserves more attention. Food was amazing, and the service was very fast. The crunchy roll and yam tempura I ordered got to our table in less than 10mins. Of course it depends on what you order as some will take longer than that. Overall food quality is amazing. Food was absolutely delicious! 😋 As for the atmosphere it is not too loud nor too quiet. So having a conversation was easy. This restaurant deserves a 10/10 overall for me and would highly recommend! Will definitely come back in the future 😊
Nice friendly litlle spot, hidden out of the way. Have been a few times and its alway delicious. As a diabetic its hard to eat out with most meals heavy on carbs , Sashimi is a good option but need alot to fill up. The seafood salad is perfect mix of sashimi and a ponzu vinaigrette which marries well with the greens and earthy beet shreds beautifully presented
Incredible food, delightful staff, and calming atmosphere! I come to this restaurant often and it’s absolutely one of my favourites. It’s always clean, and the food is always so filling. The pricing is very reasonable and the food is to die for!!! I love the chicken don, crab salad snd spy roll. I always recommend this place to people.
Location was nice, and hidden from busy streets. Interior/Ambiance (4/5) Service was reasonable. (5/5) We ordered Sushi Sahimi combo (4/5) Gintaro Sushi (4/5) Grilled Squid (3/5) just bit lacking of flavor. Wasabi (3/5) wishing it was more spicier. Overall its a nice place.
