Central PA Sushi Meetup

There's an extra Friday in August?!? Let's go get some sushi! In the theme of excess I chose Ginza which is admittedly my favorite sushi restaurant in Lancaster. They've always treated us so kindly and who can get upset over their AYCE offering 6 days a week? They also have some pretty interesting rolls like the Shaggy Dog Roll, Christmas Roll, and Valentine Roll. Ginza is BYOB. Come hang with us and enjoy the extra Friday with the group!

Hokkaido is a northern Japanese Island famous for hot springs and volcanoes! Somewhat like its namesake Hokkiado the Japanese restaurant has its unique volcano roll which is served complete with a little flame in the center and is delicious! Hokkaido features a large variety of sushi rolls, sashimi, Chinese fusion, bento boxes, and hibachi. This restaurant is BYOB. Our last trip to Hokkaido the restaurant was incredibly busy so please be respectful and update your RSVP if your plans change. Come join us for a flaming good time!

“And I like large parties. They’re so intimate. At small parties, there isn’t any privacy.”

Step into an evening that promises the timeless charm of camaraderie and the exquisite pleasure of good taste. We’re gathering once more — not just to dine, but to delight — at the ever-gracious Genki Sushi & Grill, a place where artistry and appetite intersect beneath glowing lights and clinking chopsticks.

✨ The Affair

Expect elegance without pretension, where laughter is easy and the sushi arrives like small jewels on porcelain. Genki’s offerings span the traditional and the daring — from salmon sashimi that melts like a whispered secret to rolls as decadent as Gatsby’s soirées. Their menu reads like a love letter to the East, with detours through hibachi heat and Korean spice.

Dress well or don’t — but bring your appetite and your sparkle.

“Let us toast to fine flavor, good company, and adventurous palates.”

Step into Jino Sushi, where the lanterns glow softly over tables spilling with vibrant rolls, spicy bowls, and the promise of community. Though I’ve yet to learn the meaning behind Jino, the name has become synonymous with bold culinary fusion — where Japanese artistry meets Korean zest.

✨ The Experience

Jino’s menu is a curated spectacle: Spicy Tuna Avocado Rolls, Volcano Rolls, and Tempura Shrimp Rolls make repeat cameo in local favorite lists  .
For those craving Korean flair, indulge in Bulgogi Ramyun, Beef or Pork Bulgogi Bowls, or their crispy Secret Spicy Sauce Mandu—a DoorDash darling that diners claim “addictive” .
And don’t miss the poke bowls, richly topped and customizable with mango, seaweed salad, sweet soy or spicy mayo .

Expect an ambiance that’s neither rigid nor rushed — intimate yet inviting, full of laughter, flavor, and potential friendship at every roll.
