Absolutely wonderful. Service is fantastic, food is stellar. It's a quiet izakaya that doesn't muss about with frivolity but does everything with intention. Big menu, something for everyone. Everything from big rice or noodle dishes to small tapas style dishes to sushi. Highly, highly recommend.

This Japanese restaurant has a timeless interior and staff that reflect its long-standing history. The menu is thoughtfully designed with smaller portions at reasonable prices, allowing us to try a variety of flavors in one visit. Though the seasoning leaned a bit salty, the portions were just enough to satisfy without feeling heavy. A well-balanced dining experience — both flavorful and light.

Ginya Izakaya is a must-try if you’re looking for authentic Japanese food in Atlanta. The food was excellent and the fish was incredibly fresh. The inside has a very authentic izakaya vibe that really makes the experience feel genuine. The service was very good, and a lot of the staff are older Japanese employees—which really shows in the quality and authenticity of the food. You can tell there’s a lot of experience behind what they serve. I ordered the spicy miso ramen, and the spice level was absolutely perfect—flavorful without being overwhelming. We also got the spicy kimchi, which was really good, and the Ginya Don, where the fish was almost perfect and clearly high quality. We started with the sashimi appetizer, and the fish was extremely fresh. On top of all that, the prices are very affordable and not overly expensive for the quality you’re getting. Great food, great service, and a genuinely authentic atmosphere—definitely a place I’ll be coming back to.

Awesome place, great friendly staff gives you the real Japanese Izakaya experience right here in the ATL. Everything I had from the Kushiyaki menu was delicious! (Chicken & Scallion, Chicken wing, shiitakes, the pork dumplings and the sukiyaki croquettes)
