The chicken broth was SO good honestly, better than miso soup in my opinion! The rolls were delicious as well and surprisingly very filling. My waiter was amazing and provided great service throughout my visit. The ambiance inside was spacious, peaceful, and quiet, which I really enjoyed. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely recommend coming here! read more

It sets back in a strip mall if you're looking for it. When I came in I was immediately seated. Their booths offer a lot of privacy as gobble down your food. They have abnormally high backs. Service was QUICK! I ordered their krab rangoon and boy was it krabby. The imitation crab should have been chopped a but better as it overpowered the rangoon. I had a lunch special with a spicy tuna toll. It was good. Stuck to the basics. There was nothing that stood out but if you're in the neighborhood and craving sushi you can pop by. read more

We were seated quickly, and that was pretty much the only redeeming quality. The water tasted disgusting, worse than what a public water fountain would taste like. The miso soup tasted just like the water. Edamame was okay, but the most disappointing was the devil roll. It was dry and lacked any type of desirable flavor. We said we would like it taken off the check after one bite and the manager initially refused telling us we needed to pick something to replace it or similar price point. The water was gross, the sushi was gross, why would we want to order another roll? The decor is a bit outdated, as are the booths. read more

I had lackluster experiences the last couple of times that I visited. Something has definitely changed. My most recent experience was a sad one. I decided to drop in for lunch after shopping at Bealls. I immediately noticed that the booth seating across from the sushi bar had torn and tattered cushions. This is the beautiful bright green cushioned seating that I remember loving after the renovation. It was in desperate need of repair. What made it worse was that I was sat in one of these booths. I picked the side that was least torn. Yes, I could have asked to be seated elsewhere. I just didn't know if all the booth seating was the same way, so I went with it. The service was good. The passion fruit tea and the clear chicken broth soup were all good. It was the sushi rolls that left a lot to be desired. It wasn't the same quality that I remember. The rolls were small and falling apart. I'm sorry to say that nothing about this experience was happy. I just hope that the BYO poké bowls haven't changed. I'll order one the next time I'm in that plaza. read more

The music was so loud the waitress didn't hear our order and we didn't hear her when she read it back to us. Ended up being wrong and instead of them correcting it as they should have without issue the manager tells our server to tell us "this is a one time thing" for them to fix it. Yes, one time because we won't be back. Server was rude and manager should have stepped up and did their job better instead of hiding behind the server to speak for them. read more

My Poké bowl was really tasty. I got the large and it came out really really tiny. So that was a little disappointing not worth 20 bucks. The koko was a $17 specialty role very tiny covered in some crunch not a lot of flavor not worth it. The crab Rangoon appetizer was solid. I do recommend that. Waiter was nice and fast. The place was really well decorated. Had a nice theme. read more

Love sushi ninja! Was my first ever sushi experience back in the early 2000's. Glad to see the place hasn't just survived, it's thriving. The space is about 5 times as big as the original, w patrons waiting during peak hours for a table. Sushi was as good as ever. Will def be back soon read more

Food was ok. Had the friend Korean wings 7/10 And spider roll which was 3/10 Taste was ok, roll was only 5 pieces and absolutely falling apart. Couldnt enjoy it after waiting more than half an hour when its falling apart. Service isnt great. read more

I order from here quite often. However, this last time the order was significantly smaller and not the same. My rice was clumpy and hard. I called the store to notify the manager and she was not interested in my feedback whatsoever. That's too bad. Especially when you have repeat customers. You'd think she'd want to know if there was a change in quality and quantity to ensure consistency...but nope. Dismissive and not interested. read more

Had dinner at Sushi Ninja Brandon. I'm not a sushi person, so I went there for the other food they sell. I ordered some chicken fried rice and also 6-piece chicken wings (original). My wife had the Chicken Bulgogi. Now, she liked her order, I on the other hand was not impressed with mine. Now, I know I ordered the original chicken wings, but they only use adobo to season it, and its only on the skin, so after the first bite, the rest of the chicken really has no flavor. The chicken fried rice was not something I would go back for either. The place was very clean, plenty of parking since its located in a shopping strip. The other folks with us, had the sushi, and they seemed to have enjoyed it. I'm giving it a 4 start, because I was not impressed, but the other folks did not complaint and my wife was ok with her food. read more

Such good food. For a little while, the rolls were not rolled well and falling apart but they're back on their best sushi game. The caterpillar is my favorite but the okay roll is very similar if you are doing the lunch special. Service is sometimes good, sometimes you're left alone too long. And the place is so gorgeous including the bathroom. The booth seats are all ripped up tho and uncomfy and scratchy if you are wearing shorts :( read more

The only reason I am giving this place a 2 is because their wait/service staff was very pleasant and accommodating. They shouldn't be held accountable for the product they have to bring to your table. A friend invited me to dinner at this place, said he had been there before and it was good. At the end of dinner I asked him if he had been "smoking" the last time he came here. You can get sushi at Publix for half the price that is twice as good. Ordered 3 separate rolls of differing varieties, couldn't even get through half of them. Tossed the rest to the 3 feral cats that live in my backyard. They seemed to like them. The crab and shrimp they used in my rolls was not fresh, you could tell it had been frozen and defrosted, and had a strong "fishy" smell and taste to them. Honestly made me a bit queasy when I got home. Prices are very high ($14-$16 per roll) and they are not justified by the quality. Won't go here again. Valrico/Brandon misses Pacific Grill, that place used to have legendary sushi. read more

Went here tonight for a birthday party. We started out with a sashimi appetizer and a vegetable tempura. Both were delicious and I would order them again. We then ordered two rolls which were fresh but a little small and were a little blan on taste. Overall the service was great from our server but at the end they brought us the bills with a automatic 18% gratuity added with the minimum option of adding an additional 20% if we wanted to. I consider myself a great tipper when the service warrants it which normally means I tip over 20%. But when a tip is forced upon me and no longer based on service rendered I simply stop at their lower amount. For this I removed a star . Have faith in your product and services rendered or I will choose to go elsewhere. read more

If you're looking for great sushi in Brandon with an unexpected surprise of equally delicious Korean - Sushi Ninja is the only place for you

Before entering, they do ask to take your temperature. They are still continuing to give customers distance, which is amazing. Specially the booths, definitely felt like we had privacy. Leaving us with great ambiance. The Hamachi Carpaccio as an app, is delightful and refreshing. Served with radish and yellowtail, yum. Our main sushi plate, consisted of the basics - rainbow roll and Cali. The Crazy Ninja Roll, a slight hint of that spicy kick, I loved it. The fried shrimp, Alaskan snow crab, spicy tuna within the Crazy Ninja Roll, all worked well together. Husband also had chicken fried rice, per usual! read more

We had egg fried rice and the Jamie rolls, both were delicious. Our waitress, Maria, was very attentive and had great customer service. The decor was was really neat and everything was nice and clean. We came back the next night and Olivia was our waitress. No personality, poor customer service. The food was still 10/10 though. We will just get Maria's work schedule and go when she's there lol read more

So happy to have a Korean/sushi spot right in my neighborhood! I have been on the prowl for some "hwe dup bap" ever since moving from one of the biggest Korea towns on the east coast. It's not advertised as hwe dup bap but when I saw the "spicy sashimi bowl" description, I knew it was meant to be. Only complaint is wish they would use a little more greens variety with the dish, and wish it came with some banchan (side dishes) for paying the price of 19.99. BUT what it lacked in greens it made up for in delicious fresh salmon, tuna and and whitefish. Will definitely order again! read more

Star was very friendly, but forgetful. Had to wait for 20 minutes for a boba tea that was incredibly sour and was not drinkable. No soy sauce and had to scavenge for some on my own. Food was very mid-range. The menu is very clearly non-threatening sushi: almost everything was fried, had "krab", or had asparagus. There were only a handful of non-fried, non-"krab" rolls out of around 40 to choose from. $11-$14 per roll. Great place to go for people who want to say that they've had sushi. read more

The decor inside is very nice and relaxing. The Ginger salad had a very creamy ginger dressing, not a huge fan but def not bad (just personal preference). Just different texture than I'm use to. The gyoza was really really good! Fried to perfection in my opinion. It comes with the usual dipping sauce that they call "Ninja Sauce". Very good. The actual main entrees themselves took quite a while to come out but it was definitely worth the wait. Idk he lunch box I ordered was huge, I tried to include the chopsticks so you can kinda get a good reference point as to how large it was. Great great chicken teriyaki! Maria was our waitress she was very nice and quick with anything we needed. We'll definitely be coming back. Pics below! read more

My son was in town and we decided on Sushi Ninja in Brandon after reading other Yelp reviews and seeing photos. The service was great, food came out quick, and everything was delicious. I was stationed in Korea for a year and this was a great meal and something different than what I would normally get at a sushi place! The Jenny roll and Katsu rolls were so good that we almost ordered a 2nd round of them but opted we should probably save room for dinner. I plan on bringing my boyfriend back here asap! read more

I had lunch at sushi ninja the other day and was a great deal for lunch. It is located in an unassuming strip mall, once you enter it has a great Asian vibe. I had the white sangria and my friend got the red sangria, both were delicious. As appetizers we got the Crab Rangoon and TNT mussels. The Crab Rangoon was great, the TNT mussels weren't my favorite but if you like a baked creamy mussel the you may right up your alley. I had the Katsu chicken bento box for lunch. It was a great deal and plenty of food for $13. My friend had the south Tampa roll, which she raved about. Our server was Lizzie and she was wonderful, very attentive and answered all of our questions. If you're in the Brandon area and looking for a lunch spot I encourage you to check this place out! read more

Sushi ninja has been my favorite Asian restaurant and all of Brandon since they opened. I think it's been like 20 years. Never disappointed in a meal. Try the Okay Roll... and ask for ninja sauce with your sushi.... trust me! read more

I think the picture says it all! Make a stop and grab a roll or two or three. It wasn't too busy for a Saturday night/evening. The waitress was both bartender and server. She did a fantastic job. Although $19 for a margarita was very steep for what we got. Now she did say she was the bartender as well but in a way I will try my best can't say it will be perfect. The sushi was on point absolutely delish. We had several rolls but the one that stuck out was the special Mexican and the Caterpillar roll. It was just a sushi kinda night so no other entrées were tasted this night. Look forward to visiting again but for now I'm loving it! read more

Hands down my families favorite place after a long day at work! The Spicy Pork Bugolgi is my husband and I go to as well as the Mexican roll and crazy ninja roll! Our littles even love it!

We always have the best service and it always seems to get busy late at night. But we never have a super long wait. read more

Visited for lunch with my daughter & granddaughter. The atmosphere was beautiful, service was good and the sushi was delicious! The lunch special was a great deal, my daughter and I got two okay rolls and clear soup. The clear soup was the BEST I have ever had at a restaurant. The okay roll was so delicious; it had fried crab and cream cheese together which was just perfect, on top was crispy tempura chips with spicy sauce and a yummy sweet sauce that also balanced each other out so well! I will definitely get this roll again especially on the lunch deal, can't beat it! We also ordered a specialty roll called Rising Sun which was great as well but I thought the flavor profile of the Okay roll was better. The Rising Sun Roll had Alaskan snow crab, cucumber and crispy smoked salmon skin inside and on top raw white fish, spicy mayo, eel sauce, yum yum sauce, scallions and red tobiko. The salmon skin was the best part about the roll, it was so good and different. It had a great crispy texture and smoky flavor that went together amazingly with the sushi dipped in soy. Can't wait to go and try allot more of their rolls! read more

In the continuing search for calming Japanese ambiance alongside quality food and presentation, i chanced another visit to Sushi Ninja. Fail. Weirdly designed, one tends to feel hidden in the booths to the side where there is no view of the remainder of the restaurant, your server, or much of anything. Shakes arrive in a plastic takeaway cup; sunomono at ten bucks was tasteless. Meanwhile, get blown on directly at Arctic levels so you can freeze while enjoying - or not. The taste is much better at Sunflower Cafe, though both places are variable and often service is poor. Sigh. Not planning on returning. read more

Great sushi, friendly and fast service, nice clean restaurant, cold drinks and great place for a meeting

My daughter chose the little place off of Bloomingdale road. It is nice inside with unique decorations and they serve Sushi as well as other dishes . We had Krab Rangoon and Chicken Teriyaki. The meals come with salad and soup which was a good addition to the meal. The ginger dressing was very good and the chicken broth was flavorful, just needed to be warmer. The portion of Chicken Teriyaki was bigger than I expected. We both have half for tomorrow, next time we will share. Pretty nice dinner overall. We will be back. read more

Though I've only dined in once, the food was great. Since this one experience, I've ordered take out countless times.

Restaurant was clean, we were seated right away, our server was efficient and friendly and most importantly the food was delicious. The restaurant was pretty busy so it was a tad louder than I'm used to, but it was a Saturday. Usually on the weekdays it will be a quite calming, quiet and a peaceful atmosphere. You need to look up the menu using your smartphone. They have a QR Code that takes you to their menu, here: https://irp.cdn-website.com/db083f8e/files/uploaded/Binder4.pdf We ordered the chicken teriyaki, which came with a salad in a yummy dressing and a bowl of chicken broth soup. Then, the chicken came with white rice and cooked veggies (onions, zucchini, carrots & broccoli). We also ordered a Special Mexican Roll and a Rock'n'Roll. Chicken Teriyaki .... $13.95 Special Mexican ..... $7.95 Rock'n'Roll ............... $14.95 I definitely recommend giving this place a try! * I am editing this review because I saw other reviews mention social distancing and temp checks. I went on 9/18/21 and I didn't mention anything about Covid checks or anything because there was nothing to report. The distancing is gone, no masks are required, and they did not perform a temp check. Not only that, but we in fact left the restaurant early because they seated an obviously sick woman about a booth down and across from us. We heard someone coughing about 3/4 the way into our meal and my husband said he could see who was coughing and that the lady LOOKED sick. So we decided to box our stuff and leave and as we left, I took a gander and she absolutely looked sick with a cold. Red nose and coughing continuously. I cant believe someone would still go out in public like that. I wonder how they felt serving her after seating her. We left. read more
