Reviewing after trying this spot under new ownership! The owner was very kind. She spoke with myself and my mom, asking about how the food was after we had finished. The servers were friendly but a bit slow in regard to requests unfortunately. The restaurant was clean but a bit dark during our visit. As for the food, the sushi rolls were good but nothing special. My mom unfortunately didn't enjoy the sukiyaki and found the flavor wasn't quite as strong as others she has tried. Overall, I would it here again but I'm not sure I'd go out of my way for it. Especially since I don't live in the Gilroy area. If you haven't tried it yet, I would definitely give it a chance!

Molten lava cake ...
Cathy H.

Came in Friday night place was hopping, got a seat at the sushi bar. They have the Freshest sashimi melts in your moth like butter, the octopus is so fresh. Each fish is so fresh you can taste all the different flavors. Fresh wasabi, plating was beautiful and generous portions. Waiting for my molten lava cake dessert now !!

We went here for lunch to check out changes with the new owners. A good variety menu and enjoyed the food. Very nice lady that took our order. The floor smells of bleach which hits you hard when you walk in. It wasn't appetizing but I guess it's a good sign they cleaned.

Cold frosty Draft Beer! What a head...
Mark R.

This wonderful Sushi and Japanese restaurant is the best in the entire South Bay! It has been there for over 20 years! Super fresh top-grade fish only, daily specials, the best appetizers, excellent very cold Beers on tap, many specialty drinks, and delicious sakes! Very reasonable prices too.... Big screen HD TVs everywhere.

Teriyaki Chicken Bowl (boiled flavorless chicken)
Freddie U.

Ninja sushi was the only place in Gilroy to get real Japanese food, I raised my Daughter on their food . I worked late so i decided to pick something up to take home , now I can't believe what I got when i ordered a simple Teriyaki Chicken Bowl .The chicken was either cooked in a microwave or boiled with NO seasoning at all NONE! the rice wasn't any better it was flavorless and just a thin layer under the terrible tasting chicken with some sesame seeds scattered on top I'm so disappointed , I hear it's under new ownership so I guess this is what to expect here, if the rice bowl is bad I can't imagine eating raw fish here . If i could give it less than 1 star that would be too much!

Spicy sashimi salad
Malory M.

I had an incredible dining experience at Ninja Sushi. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and beautifully designed, setting the perfect mood for a great meal. The sushi was exceptional--fresh, flavorful, and expertly prepared. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients in every bite. The service was just as impressive as the food. The staff was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu, offering great recommendations. I highly recommend trying the spicy sashimi salad. it was a perfect balance of flavors! If you're a sushi lover (or even new to sushi), this is the place to go. I'll definitely be coming back soon! Meet the new owner Rita :)

1st time here Honestly great food and amazing service. Nice big place for everyone. Servers are very helpful and friendly. Steve is amazing person. Definitely will be back and tell friends to check out this amazing sushi place.

Doesn't get better than this!

The sushi is good but too big for one bite. Service is nice and helpful. Family friendly. The tempura doesn't always seem fresh.

Sushi is decent and fresh. Service is always slow. The bar is nice, but small. There are other sushi places around for better service.

Very mediocre. It's edible, but not somewhere I'd go to again. The rice wasn't really even sushi rice. :'(

Buffet? Oh yeah! I love them. I also get kinda ill afterwards. Why do I still do it? Why? I…read morelike variety. A little of this, a little of that. In that sense, (this) Asian Buffet hit the mark. While they didn't have crab legs for lunch (dinner?), they had clams, mussels, fish, and all the usual suspects for chinese food, and even, a half dozen types of sushi. $22 with tax and tip, I got my fill and more.

Been here a couple of times when I'm in Gilroy. $14.99 for lunch is a great value for all you can…read moreeat. Seniors get a dollar off. The sushi selection is small, 5-6 basic rolls but good enough as an appetizer. The hot foods were a hit or miss. The best were the bbq ribs, which were hot when I ate there at noon. It is the Chinese barbecue kind, not fall off the bone but tender. The sweetness was just right for me. The teriyaki chicken was good too, albeit not as hot as the ribs. They weren't dry and not saucy either. The chow mein noodles and fried rice weren't good or bad. The noodles were soft and not overly oily. It had a little bit of veggies but pretty much a base for the other dishes. Like the fried rice it needed extra seasoning/soy sauce and other dishes to pair with. The salt and pepper shrimp were decent size and were cooked right as the shell didn't stick to the shrimp. I had extra helpings on those dishes. Dessert had fresh fruit, canned fruit, jello and snack cakes/cookies that are standard at other Chinese buffets. The soft serve ice cream weren't creamy kinda slight on the icy side. I like to pair it with the sugar donut. As a buffet lover, this place gets a pass. Will continue to come if I'm in the area.

The restaurant was very empty. There was only one other couple here. It was very nice to have the…read morespace but makes you worry about why there aren't more people eating here. We ordered basic egg roll, the dim sum sampler, combination chow mein, and Shanghai Noodle Three delight. The egg roll came with 2 rolls. They were the perfect amount of crispy and flavor. The dim sum sampler was mostly average. The only piece we could not eat because we found it disgusting was the chicken mochi. My partner said the chow mein was something he would come back for. If that was the only thing he ate it would be 5 stars. I ate the Shanghai Noodle Three delight. It was not a delight. It advertised having items like noodles, bean sprouts, onions, chicken, egg, shrimp, and calamari. After ordering I found it is supposed to come with 3 pieces of shrimp and 3 pieces of calamari. My plate only had two pieces of calamari. At first I was disappointed there wasn't more calamari, but then I tasted it. The calamari tasted rubbery, tough, and no good flavor. When I brought the problem of only having 2 pieces of calamari and they only said it usually tastes like that and I should have gotten three pieces. (So no solution.) My advice to the restaurant, if you know the majority of your customers think the calamari is disappointing, don't serve calamari. The dish would have been much better if you put more shrimp and deleted the calamari. (Without up charging customers.) The servers were kind and friendly. It did seem weird how busy they were when there were only two tables eating at the place. We barely saw them but they did fill up our drinks before we thought to ask.

The only truly edible things are the dim sum ... which I'm pretty sure are not made on site but…read moreheated up on site from frozen. And it is very pricy. The fried rice is mushy and overcooked, the hot and sour soup is not hot nor sour ... in fact it didn't even have salt. The sweet and sour pork was overcooked and hard. The shrimp and chicken were mostly cooked properly if utterly unflavored. The squid was so hard you could not even cut Into it with a knife... i had to discard all pieces with squid or calamari. The vegetables have little to no flavor at all. Egg rolls were under cooked so the insides of the egg rolls were chilly and mushy. The sauces they send with the dim sum are non existent or so minuscule that one person may could dip two pieces (that's being generous). I think this last food order will be my last... i kept going back after some time thinking it would be better ... but after eating food from here seven times in past five years. The cost of eating out is just too dear these days to keep hoping for something better from a place that has a proven record of only becoming worse.
