Been here many times before, but it had been awhile. Today came for lunch with one of my close church member. She had Chirashi and I had two items lunch special, sashimi & beef teriyaki. We also ordered mix tempura as appetizer. Sashimi was fresh and beef teriyaki was cooked nicely tender with lots of sauce. Mix tempura was light & crispy. Portion, Quality and Price were very reasonable. Everything was Great & satisfying but towards the end the bill came out during middle of our meal. When we were still eating so felt we were rushed. Other than that, the service & food was Great !! read more

美味しい! delicious! we were craving for sushi tonight so we went to one of our favorite sushi restaurants called Ninja Sushi. We ordered the following items: -Weekly dinner special with Unaju (eel over rice うな重/鰻重), vegetable tempura, chawanmushi (茶碗蒸し), seaweed salad, and 5 pcs sashimi (tuna and salmon) $23 -rainbow roll $16 (8 pcs) -salmon roll ($7.25 six small pcs) -tuna hand roll ($6.5) -deluxe chirashi bowl ($37 mixed sashimi slices on rice, ginger and sesame seeds), I like my weekly dinner special because it came with so many different food in one big tray with nice presentation. And it also served with miso soup and salad. I like my chawanmushi (Japanese savory steamed custard). It served in a cute cup with a cute small wooden spoon and it had some ingredients inside such as fish cake. The egg custard was very delicate and solidified. The Unaju (eel over rice) was also delicious. It topped with grilled eel brushed with a sweet-savory sauce! It came with 5 pcs of tuna and salmon sashimi. The quality of the tuna and sashimi were so fresh! For the price of $23, it was a good choice! The deluxe chirashi bowl was truly amazing and the portion was big enough and their sashimi slices were so fresh and delicious. This is very authentic Japanese restaurant even though the restaurant is small inside, you won't regret to come here because their food taste great and you and your tummy will be happy. Highly recommended! P.S. I suggest to go there earlier before 6:00. We got there when they opened at 5:30 for dinner so we beat the crowd. It was all packed after 6:15p.m. And we saw many people were waiting outside. read more

I got their food to go, and it was still delicious by the time I got eat it. They have a weekly lunch special that is always really worth it in my opinion because there are such a variety and they change it up every week. It's a smaller mom and pop feel for the sushi restaurant and the servers are super kind even if they can be a little bit busy sometimes. read more

Came here a few more times with friends. It does get busy weekends dinner time. The tonkatsu is the bomb! So crunchy on the outside but super moist in the middle. I usually get the dinner combination. Great value for the prices (around $23). You get 2 main dishes plus soup, salad, pickle side dish, and rice. Also add 4-pc California roll for $2. Always have left overs to take home read more

came here twice on different occasions. cute sushi restaurant with reasonable prices for great quality food! nice menu selection (could go for sashimi to rice) service is fine and this is arguably one of the best sushi spots in the area :) a hidden gem read more

this was the perfect spot for a late night dinner! my brother and i got the yellowtail carpaccio (absolutely delicious with a fresh flavor from the blanched/pickled onions), ramen bowls (forgot the name of the dishes but absolutely amazing taste & quality, noodles cooked to perfection), fried oysters (amazing breading), and our favorite...the toro sampler. It had the absolute best flavor profile with the highest quality fish. the service was super quick and everyone was incredibly sweet to us. 10/10 would recommend!! read more

High quality fish, friendly service, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere: this place is my favorite sushi place in the area! I've only had their sashimi and nigiri, but the quality of the fish vs the price is an insane deal! The cuts are generous compared to the rice ratio, and everything is just fresh and tasty. The rice is well seasoned: a good balance of vinegar and softness from the rice. Will definitely be back to try more of their menu. I'd highly recommend the lunch deals as the portions are large and the prices are fair: what a deal! read more

Food was ok. Service was great. But what the hell is wrong with their receipt? I have to guess what item costs what (see pic). If I'm gonna be paying over $100 I like to know what I pay. This is unacceptable. Also their name of the restaurant is "ninja sushi" but the store front sign is "sushi" wtf? I won't be coming back. read more

Lovely small, hole in the wall sushi place. Really got the welcoming mom & pop shop vibe here. We cam here on a weekday, before the lunch rush. There's not many tables and only some sushi bar seating, so it DOES get packed. I know this place is my best friend's favorite stop and where her family goes often. I've only gone here once before but was glad to try it out with my brother again. We got the: 1) Chirashi: -Big heaping bowl with a variety of fresh fish. -The sushi rice is seasoned perfectly and was at a good temperature. -Some of the fish included slices of salmon, tuna, tako, ika, tamago, some white fish and clam among fish roe and others. -Definitely enough to serve between 2 people so there was enough to share. 2) Special Salmon: -Melt in your mouth salmon nigiri with some thinly sliced red onions and bonito flakes on top. -Not sure if they marinated it with a special sauce but we liked this one. 3) Fatty Salmon: -Had to be our favorite sushi of the day. -Very buttery and melt in your mouth. -Rich and fresh, I would definitely order this again. 4) Nigiri Sushi Assortment: -It's 6 pieces of mixed nigiri and a tuna roll. -Some of the nigiri included were salmon, tuna, shrimp, and unagi. -Good fish to rice ratio, fresh fish. -Delicious and hits the spot if you want sushi. Great small, hole in the wall that I will for sure return to in the future. read more

Lunch time... Co-worker referred and I am happy I took a chance. Very small inside but clean and friendly wait staff. Everything was so fresh and good tasting. No wait time during the 12pm lunch hour so that was cool. Food came fast. No complaints here. I had the lunch combo entree with miso soup and salad included. Teriyaki salmon, veggie/shrimp tempura; hot tea and I'm a satisfied woman! read more

I've been wanting to return to this little hidden gem in walnut for quite sometime. Believe it or not I used work here as a server and sushi back in the early 90's during my college days....brought my wife here for an early wedding anniversary celebration. Walked in and the place looks almost the same as it did 30 years ago. We sat at the sushi bar and ordered many of their sushi specials. All of the sashimi were super fresh. The ponzu, garlic, yuzu added some extra flavors. The wait staff was super friendly and attentive. I started talking to the sushi chefs and told them I use to work here. It turns out one of the sushi chefs was one of the owners. I asked him if he knew the original owner Terry. He said he's heard of his name but has never met him. The restaurant probably had a few different owners since I worked there. The chef ended up giving me one of their commemorative shirts celebrating 20 years since they've owned the restaurant I will definitely be returning since I know the current owners have carried on the legacy and maintained the quality of the original Ninja sushi .... read more

Amazing service, felt like family. They let my boyfriend and I eat before closing and were so courteous and patient. Their langostino roll was so delicious, we got 2! I'll definitely be back. The environment was peaceful as well with great music. read more

This small neighborhood restaurant has been around for a very long time. We came here for dinner on a Saturday night and were quickly seated as it was just the two of us. Larger parties had to wait as the restaurant was packed. The service was fast, friendly and efficient. All the waitresses work together so we were well looked after. We ordered the Nigiri Deluxe and their Short Ribs Bento Box special. Thoroughly enjoyed the Nigiri. Plenty of food and a variety of fish was fresh and delicious! The Bento box on the other hand had a variety of different items including sashimi. Everything was good except for the Short ribs. Will definitely be back for the next sushi craving! read more

Ninja used to be my favorite place for sushi. I usually order the Deluxe Chirashi bowl, but it seems like the quality is getting worse each time. The pieces of fish is getting smaller and smaller. You barely get any uni, tuna, or salmon. The rice was also not prepared properly. It was like eating glutinous rice, because whoever cooked it used too much water. I'm sad to say that the next time I come back, I will no longer order the chirashi bowl. The price doesn't justify it. Instead, I would get a la carte sushi. The positive I can mention is that the lady who served us always provides good service. She filled our water without us having to ask, and she checked on us a couple of times to make sure everything is okay. read more

So happy to find out this great Sushi place is open till 12pm every Frid & Sat. Husband and I wanted a late nite sushi Ramen snack and this place delivered. The sushi was amazing and fresh & the Ramen hit the spot! There service was excellent & everyone was so attentive, friendly and polite. Will definitely be back. read more

Food was really good. Sushi/sashimi was very fresh. Service was excellent. We didn't have to ask for water refills. They cleared our plates immediately. Food came out fast. A little on the pricey side but worth it. Restaurant was nice and clean. read more

The food was delicious, the prices were reasonable and the staff was very friendly and attentive, but not overwhelming. I would recommend.

The food and the staff are amazing, have been going to Ninja Sushi for over 22 years. The albacore is amazing.

I hesitate to write this review because I don't want people to find out about this great hidden gem but do to my hippocratic-Yelp path I feel obligated. Located in a little plaza this Japanese restaurant serves delicious sushi at an even more amazing price. All their sushi is fresh and delicious and they portions are surprisingly good. I can honestly it gives it's neighbor Ootoro a run for their money. When I got here it was already packed and I'm glad I ordered beforehand at lunch time. The deluxe chirashi and sushi come with a great selection of fish. The beef tataki is a flavorful appetizer and cooked very well. The soba and udon we ordered were cooked decently and overall every dish was good. The miso cod was great as well with the buttery sweet flavor. It's a quaint Japanese joint that gets busy very quickly. The Japanese server ladies are very cute and polite with their old lady demeanor. The only thing I would change is the name because I first read Ninja and thought it was some non-Japanese owned business. Actually keep the name so people don't find out about this place. Your welcome. read more

It's hard to find places run by the OG's. You know their chefs are taught the best practices. I find that the non Japanese owned spots just do mainstream basic quality foods so I come here for top tier food. Before you read that review below me complaining about the receipt, do you not see their systems and the age of these women? I imagine a complaint about a receipt coming from a 10 year old who's never seen a receipt without the name of the dishes. This place is a no frill establishment with long wait on weekends and peak hours. Guests are all friendly neighborhood people who know's about the consistency of the quality and taste from this restaurant. I can't imagine trash talking a mom and pop shop... go to a $300 omakase spot if you want premium stuff. This place is the best at its price point. read more

I've been coming here since they opened in the 80s. They don't skimp on the food. The beef Teri is ribeye. The sushi is fresh. Always my go to spot when I don't want to drive far for Japanese food. read more

Heard about a japanese owned spot in Walnut. So I decided to stop by after the gym. It was crowded but small. The prices were reasonable. The california rolls were good and different ,salad was good and big portion. I opted for chicken and beef teriyaki. It was a huge portion . Service was attentive. There is not much of a waiting area! read more

Giving a shoutout to my hometown Japanese restaurant. The food is always fresh and delicious, the sauces delicate, the salad crisp. You have to earn the right to eat here because they don't deliver and you can't order online. They also have working hours that maybe annoying to demanding entitled customers but is probably conducive to work life balance. And isn't that what we all strive for? So to be deserving of fresh food with fresh ingredients and a tantalizing demitasse scoop of potato salad, you have to show the fork up. read more

I have been coming here for many years. It's nice to see that they're still open for business during the COVID-19 pandemic. They're currently only doing take-out orders. They have their phone number in very large font on the front of their restaurant. Smart. Just give them a call with your order. Along with your order, they'll just need your name and your phone number. They'll provide you with an estimated time to show up. You can pay when you get there. Once you're there, you'll notice that they've blocked the entrance into the dining area with a couple of tables. They have plenty of signs up with their COVID-19 protocol and also provide hand sanitizer. You'll pay and pick up your food at this table. As for the food, the quality has remained the same. Everything still tastes great and the food is well arranged. Now we just have to enjoy it at home. They'll provide plenty of chopsticks, napkins, and soy sauce. read more

HII YAT! (ninja face) This is a family owned restaurant and we always try to support local businesses as much as we can. They are sweet and give great customer service. Here are our orders: Nigiris Salmon Belly Yellow tail Belly Uni - not always the freshest. Last time was pretty sad, 2 of them were fresh the other 2 were brown, sour, stanky and it just aint right. (*Cry Sob). Halibut Tuna otoro Scallop Sweet shrimp with soup heads H&d roll We order the udon for our kids and they love it! The fish is usually really really fresh and they do a good job with balanced portions with the rice and fish. I just wish they had more unique garnishing flavors that compliment the fish and also that their prices are not as high. read more

So, within this tiny restaurant is the most abundant, flavorful sushi in the neighborhood. The food is fresh and authentic. I ordered the deluxe mixed sashimi (I have a hearty appetite).

I came on a Tuesday afternoon and this is a solid lunch option. I ordered from their "special rolls" menu and had no idea how much rolls were. It just had descriptions but no pictures. I love ordering by photo at Sushi spots. Staff was fantastic and was the perfect blend of attentive and absent. My water was always full and I was able to enjoy their food in peace. The chefs were quick and precise. Overall a tight experience and worth a second visit. Would recommend if in the area. read more
