Ginza Maguro-ya

Small local restaurant serving high-quality sushi. Was recommended this place because you can watch the chef cut and prepare everything.

Reservations are highly recommended since it is small. It seems that they are very busy on Fridays and Saturdays (all-you-can-eat buffet during lunch). Came here on a Tuesday evening and there were only 2 other customers. The waitress speaks a bit of English and is very kind and helpful. If you can speak Japanese, the chef enjoys talking to the customers. The lunch menu offers more options, however, for dinner you can only order 1 set dish (3,500 yen) or a single sushi (around 400 yen/each).

Overall a great experience for foreigners. Lunch may be a better choice for those with more options.

Looking for All you can eat for ¥3500 for 90min? Would recommend to go there since it is good and all fresh! However, the waiting list queue is very long since they have a very limited seat. No table only counter in front of the Sushi Chef. They are very kind and too generous in rice which it will fill you up. You cant request to have less rice. I would recommend to come earlier to put your name and have a great time to visit the tsukiji market. Unfortunately they do not have a calling system which can let you know when it is almost your turn which is inconvenient but they do recall you if they have already skip you. You can get all kind of fish choice but the variety it is until there is no more stock. Better to come earlier. In my case, I register my name for 2 at 9:45am which the shop opens at 11am. There was already a big list. I was on the 33 reservations. After going there back and forth. We were able to seated at 1:30pm. As mentioned you can get as much as you want of fat tuna, uni, etc but you can expect the rice to be big and you cannot just not eat the rice. Would recommend for all sushi lovers and can eat a lot!

a very local and cozy sushi shop, offering sushi set, seafood don, a la carte sushi and all u can eat sushi (saturday only) manual. manual in japanese only, very limited kanji, but the shop chefs and waitress are very friendly and would help with your order as much as they can.

It's better if you can speak Japanese here,
Food here is superb 💞💞💞

Excellent. No English menu but staff was very friendly and we had no trouble understanding the lunch options and choosing a bowl and some nigiri sushi. Food was delicious. The restaurant is a long narrow bar but we just sat down with our baby on our lap and took turns eating. The chefs smiled at and entertained our son while they were working. Absolutely recommend this as a quieter option than the market across the street.
