Ginza Sushi
Last inspected: Mar 31, 2026
27
Score
Ginza Sushi appears in inspection records 15 times, starting in 2022. The newest entry in the record is dated Mar 31, 2026. The high risk label is a heads-up that the most recent visit didn't go well.
The picture has gotten worse over the last few visits, with the average climbing from around six violations to closer to 14 violations.
“Accumulation of black/green mold-like substance” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing seven times across the record.
That's lower than the typical Fort Myers restaurant, which scores around 80. The pattern in the record is worth a careful look.
