Ginza Gourmet Teriyaki House is a straightforward Japanese spot in Fresno that leans into home-style cooking with a relaxed, no-frills atmosphere. It’s a Mom-and-Pop feel that tends to attract locals looking for comforting, satisfying plates rather than flashy dining experiences. The setting is casual, ideal for quick lunches or modest dinners without the fuss of fine dining—perfect if you want something familiar and unpretentious.

The menu centers heavily on teriyaki and tempura dishes, with solid options like BBQ pork, chicken teriyaki, and shrimp tempura. Portions skew toward moderate size, fitting for fast but filling meals, though some visitors might wish for a bit more on the plate. The signature spicy crispy chicken and the vegetable tempura come up often as favorites, highlighting the kitchen’s strength in crispy, well-seasoned fried items. Sushi here is more about cooked varieties rather than raw fish, making it a good fit for those who prefer milder, straightforward flavors.

This spot works best for locals who appreciate classic, home-cooked Japanese fare without the polish or higher prices of bigger restaurants. The staff tends to be welcoming and familiar, contributing to a relaxed vibe where you can eat comfortably without feeling rushed. Midday to early evening times are practical visits, aligning with typical lunch and dinner hours in a casual environment.

In essence, Ginza Gourmet Teriyaki House balances quick-service with a taste of traditional Japanese-American dishes, appealing most to those who want a dependable, modest meal rather than trend-driven cuisine or sushi bar style dining. It fits neatly into the neighborhood’s diverse food options as a reliable spot for teriyaki and tempura lovers who value simplicity and flavor over formality.

Came here with my family because I was craving teriyaki. The lady who took our order was super friendly. I wasn't sure about the food at first, but once we had our plates in front of us it looked great. I ordered the BBQ pork and beef combo plate. The beef was a bit on the dry side for my taste but let's be honest the BBQ Pork was the star here. I honestly just needed more pork and rice on my plate. The salad was also nice too I liked that the dressing had a more subtle flavor than other restaurants. My daughter had the fried chicken teriyaki which she really liked. It was more of a Japanese style karrage than panko breaded chicken. Both are yummy but I appreciate the crunchiness that karrage style chicken has. My husband was super happy with his dish the pork and tempura. 10/10 coming again to try their Yakisoba.

It's a great Mom and Pop restaurant. They don't have raw fish sushi but the food is excellent. I'd rather come here than go to the other, bigger fancier restaurants because it's a lot more relaxed setting. I'm giving it 5+ stars.

Yum This place is awesome! As I drove by tonight, I saw the open sign on! I asked the girl that was mopping the floors, what was her favorite thing? she said the number 24, spicy chicken and shrimp. That's what I ordered and it was so good, plump juicy shrimp in an awesome sauce, mouth-watering chicken that was a little spicy but very good, rice and salad. The people that own it and work there are extremely nice. I love them all. We highly recommend this awesome place in the awesome people that own and work there.
