    Ninja's Family Boat
    Ayro P.

    I first want to point out that the staff here was very amiable, which was refreshing having just come from a failed reservation at another restaurant. This restaurant wasn't that busy in-house (7pm on a Saturday) so we were sat immediately. Since we couldn't decide on what to get, we ended up just ordering the biggest sushi boat they had on the menu. It took a little longer than our server quoted us, but we had some misos (lacked some stock/miso paste) and sake while we waited. I have to admit that the extra time the sushi chef put into it was noticeable. The fish was organized neatly in the boat, and all the different items were easy to navigate between. Decent quality fish and good assortment, but I wish there were more pieces of some of the sushi (makes it hard to split evenly when there are 5+ people sharing. Aside from the miso, what kept this from being a 5-star review for me is how long it took for the kitchen item that was part of the boat to come out. We were in a little of a hurry so we ate the boat quickly, but the teriyaki didn't come out until 10 minutes after we were already done with the boat. We ended up taking it to-go. In short, I would still come back here, and hopefully I'll have more time to enjoy it.

    My friends and I were here on a Friday night, and it was very quiet. Service was quick and friendly, and the sushi was pretty decent and reasonably priced. Their spicy edamame is a lovely appetizer. The dining room and restrooms were clean and uncrowded. Ninja Sushi is one of our frequent stops since it is close to us and usually not crowded. They do seem to do a lot of take-out orders, so that keeps them busy on the kitchen side. It's not fancy, but it's good. As others have mentioned, they now also have chicken options, but we haven't tried them yet.

    Saran wrap in the sushi
    Jay S.

    Definitely a 1-1.5/5 star spot. Came in here thinking I'd have at least a decent 3-3.5 star experience but no. It's really hot outside ,100+ degrees, and they didn't have their a/c on until we finished majority of our food. I found a piece of saran wrap IN the sushi because I know they use saran wrap to help shape it. They need to add more lighting to their sushi-making area so they can actually see it before serving it to their customers. They completely missed it, obviously because they added everything else (masago, sauce, etc.) on top of the saran wrap. I also think the quality of their sushi is questionable and also the rolls fall apart very easily. I know things happen. I really do. But what really set me off from this experience is that the chef KNEW about the plastic being inside the sushi because we saw the waitress informing him and they did not apologize or even acknowledge it. A partial refund would've but nice too but I honestly just wanted them to at least acknowledge and apologize but no, the chef just said bye and pretended like he didn't just serve us sushi with plastic inside that we could've ingested since it's hard to spot due to it being clear and also being coated with sauce. Definitely my last time here. Unprofessional.

    My beautiful Rainbow roll! I wanted light and simple and he made it smile for me!

    All rolls are made fresh to order and they don't mind a tweak if you need it! The service is friendly and helpful but the sushi chef is personable, friendly and very kind! Great personality! The ambience is upbeat and welcoming, just an overall excellent experience!

    Ninja Sushi is a staple in our family for good times! Our latest sushi night was to celebrate our son's 16th birthday. The sushi chef was amazing and put the birthday candles in a California roll for us and even joined in signing happy birthday! This night will always be remembered by our family! As always, the food here is great. We've never had a bad meal here. Even our daughter that doesn't like sushi still loves to join us and get a non-sushi item. This time around she got the chicken Ramon and it was wonderful! The next time you want sushi, I highly recommend you try out Ninja Sushi. It's our go-to place!

    Reasonable prices, friendly service and fresh fish. I only went with the kids, so we didn't order too many dishes, but we did enjoy what we did. The sashimi plate had a nice variety. The kids chicken teriyaki was a decent portion, but didn't include miso soup, which is always a hit with the kids, so that was a surprise. They also were out of several items that we really wanted to try, so that was a little disappointing. But overall we would come back if we were in the area.

    The Ninja Boat

    My family lives in Sac and I was visiting family. They brought me here the last time I was visiting on my last night and it was great. Well, I was back up this week and we came here again on my last night with the family! It was a great call! We ordered the boat! The owner is super cool and he knows my Cousin so he knew what we liked on the boat and boy, that boat was amazing! Sushi, sashimi, tempura, seaweed salad, baked rolls, and it goes on! Such a great place and that will always be our last place to eat every time we visit! Thank you!!!

    Worked a 10 hour overtime shift and had to treat myself to the best sushi in Sacramento! Their fish is amazing and fresh! The flavors of all the rolls I had made my palette smile! I ordered the Golden Scallop roll and it did not disappoint. The tuna was bright in color, the crabmeat is always delish and the grilled scallop on top with the special sauce and green onions just make that roll pop! Second roll was the 5 Star. It was impeccable! Comes with albacore, tuna, salmon, white fish and deep fried shrimp is an amazing combination so it was incredibly scrumptious! Last roll was the Ninja King Roll...so yum!!! It's a heck of a roll with tuna, yellowtail, salmon and red snapper that meshes so well together. I am full and fully satisfied!

    Under new management and service is great as both chef and staff is attentive. Portion, price, and taste is great! Place is spacious and clean with amble parking.

    I recommend Ninja Sushi. The food was good and the service was great! The moon rolls was my favorite sushi roll. Pepperfins were really good! The tempura was fresh! The server was very quick with everything! I will definitely visit again in the future.

    All the sushi taste the same, yet has different names. Rather bland and boring rolls. Have had far better sushi.

    Ask the Community - Ninja Sushi

    Do they have any rolls made with-/or/ the option to replace white rice with- BROWN RICE? Or even NON-rice rolled sushi//gluten free options?

    Better to simply eat sashimi. Or a cucumber rolled roll.

    Does this place still do the buy one roll, get the other free?

    But 2 get 1 free.

I also have to give a huge shoutout to Raef, who made our experience even more special! He was the friendliest and most attentive server we've had so far. He was on top of everything, constantly making sure we had everything we needed and that our drinks and food were coming out on time. His service was truly exceptional!

I walked inside having no idea that it was going to be a top quality experience. The restaurant was huge and it was packed at 5 PM. We couldn't get a table so we sat at the sushi bar, and there was plenty of room there. Plus watching all of the chefs put together the Omakase offerings was really cool. We opted for the Japanese cauliflower curried soup, the black cod special, the king Roll, the watermelon and mint salad and the shrimp and corn dumpling. Every single dish was FIRE!!! The flavors were delicate and nuanced and perfectly balanced. Even the frisée lettuce on the watermelon and mint salad was a flavor explosion. We found ourselves drinking the sauce out of the bowl from the shrimp and corn dumpling. The croutons in the curried cauliflower soup were crispy on the outside and buttery on the inside. The black cod was the texture of a scallop and the squash purée set it off just right. The king Roll was a marvel to see and absolutely a delight to eat. I loved that little hint of lemon that accented the crab and lobster flavors. 1000% recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys really damn good food. Craziest part of the meal was the cost, it was incredibly reasonably priced, not overpriced, like most restaurants of this caliber. We will definitely be back. Thank you Kru for making my special occasion even more special!

Warmed my hands like you'd want after walking in from a cold walk in the snow. The Uni tasted like I'd been walking in my boots on Kodiak Island and picked up a sea urchin to dig out the eggs and ate it on the spot Uni was from Japan, but it tasted as fresh as I've ever had while walking a beach in hip boots. I wish I lived in Sacramento. I would be here regularly. It's sad. I'll probably only get here once a year. Bonus! I read the history of the restaurant And it warms my heart to know that I patronized a place that has a history of personal sacrifice and Toil to make a wonderful place for people to congregate and enjoy a fantastic meal Again, I appreciate it that is less American and more Japanese at the bar Thank you.

TT stood out because it was fresh, tasty, and a good portion size. Some places make small pieces or use way too much rice. Not here. We started with the Special Scallops appetizer. Lots of fresh scallops in a little bit of chili oil with micro greens. The scallops were real scallops and not the small, chewy bay scallops. The texture was great and the scallops were fresh and the dab of chili oil brought out that yummy flavor. We ordered 4 rolls and were stuffed. We all thought they were a great value because of the size, the fish to rice ratio, sauce that accented the fish instead of replacing the flavors, and just a good value for the price. I really enjoyed them all but the soccer named CR7 and Very Messi rolls where my favorites. East Sac and Sunshine are refreshing with a touch of lemon. Of the two, I enjoyed East Sac more. The restaurant was packed even for a Saturday lunch. Good thing we made reservations. They are on the AMEX Resy app and it is definitely worth making the reservation if you get the credit. They don't take same-day reservations. They have a patio, dining room, and sushi bar. We all loved it and it was approved by my two high school daughters. We'll be heading back.
