Sushi is fresh and the food is very good. Staff is always helpful and friendly. Great lunch specials

This is the best sushi spot in the Brandon Valrico area. Very consistent. We have eaten here 50+ times and have never had anything shy of a great experience. read more

Make sure if you get take out to check it BEFORE you leave the restaurant. I ordered to go and as soon as I got in my car, I noticed The total was more than it should've been. I checked the receipt which showed some thing I didn't order and then check the bag to make sure it wasn't a mixup on the receipt. I didn't even leave the parking lot before I went back in and told them this is not what I ordered and I don't want it, I want what I ordered. The girl at the front counter try to argue with me and tell me that's what I ordered even though it's not at all what I eat she said the manager will not take it back because it "already left the restaurant" and If I wanted what I ordered, I would have to make another order and pay again. I told them I did not want what they gave me and they refused to give a refund because it already left the restaurant. They also refused to give me what I actually wanted and told me I would have to make another order and pay again. I didn't even take the food with me- I left it and they still wouldn't give a refund. I paid cash so unfortunately I can't dispute it. Which makes the whole experience more fucked up. I've gone here a few times, and my whole family goes here regularly, but after this experience, I will make a point for none of us to go again. i've never been to an establishment where a manager does not want to make something right for the happiness of the customer, especially something as little as getting a customers order right for something that their staff messed up on. It is just shitty ownership, management, and customer service! read more

Sushi is average and the service is terrible. I order to go and I sat and waited for more than 15 minutes without a server even acknowledging me. Several servers walked by multiple times, the hostesses were 15 feet away and it was as though I didn't exist. I ended up walking over to the sushi section and telling them I hadn't had service (even though they already knew that as they too had seen me sitting there). They told a manager that was sitting in the back and finally I had my order taken. Will not return. Too many other options. read more

Great sushi joint!! A bit pricey so this will be a once in a while visit for us. Everything was very clean and tidy! Love the crab Rangoon actually had CRAB in it!! read more

We've been coming here for years and it is always the best! Mimi cares about the quality. Not just an ordinary Sushi Bar. For those of you that want something different, try the Dan Roll. It's a sashimi roll, no rice just 100 percent Delicious! Or the Jamie Roll yes we designed them and They are some of the best on the menu. This Sushi Chef is very very picky about FRESH ingredients. read more

Well this place became instant favorite when we went there for lunch today. We will be frequently returning to this place I can tell already. And If I keep having great experiences like this I will be updating this to 5 stars for sure. First off our service was great! I think she was training but she was excellent and ready to go, and must of been a product of her trainer who was also very friendly and great with the service. They were on point and ready to help every moment we were there. We ordered some apps, she had the miso soup and I went with the ginger salad (our usually choices). They were both good, but wasn't my favorite ginger dressing ever. Probably next time will go with a normal dressing. The 2 sushi rolls we had were both definitely some of my all time favorites. We had the "volcano roll" which looked amazing and tasted just as amazing, it was just blasting with taste. The "screaming orgasm" was a new taste for me for sushi but was a new favorite. It for sure had us screaming for more! It was slightly baked and was just in its seaweed wrap. The sushi roll selection was probably one of the best I've seen. The amount of speciality rolls they have is overly impressive. Plus lots of regular roll options and lunch specials and combos. Safe to say I will be able to come back over and over again and still can try new rolls. One thing that always has me coming back for more is a great menu and options that leaves me excited to return and try more stuff. Another thing is a great experience with the item(s) you did order, especially if it was first time trying something This place certainly hits both things on the head and will have us returning soon to try more! read more

The best sushi place in Brandon and probably all of Tampa. I have not eaten at all of them yet. Prices have gone up since the last time I ate there but still well worth the money. I ordered the Tuna dinner with spicy tuna roll, tuna sashimi and tuna sushi. Super fresh and very well presented. The staff is very attentive and helpful. read more

Arrived on a Friday afternoon...the day after Thanksgiving. Thankfully there were tables. We were greeted by a young woman from the back of the restaurant who told us to "sit anywhere". Interesting greeting from the rear of the place, but none the less she was pleasant! She brought us our waters and menus and disappeared to fill sauce containers for a bit. We waited for her to return. Ordered was the following for three folks- edamame, two Ninja lunch boxes and Chicken Teriyaki with a salad and brown rice. The salad arrived. Quite typical and looked like a bagged mix with iceberg lettuce and the random purple cabbage and a few onions. The ginger sauce was a bit on the salty side. My compadre's Miso soups were reported to be delicious, but luke warm. They had preferred them to be a bit hotter. Edamame was edamame! Lightly salted and warm! The food arrived nice and warm. The chicken teriyaki was ok. The veggies were a bit overlooked but the chicken was tender. I am used to teriyaki having more meat than veggies and this dish was more likened to a chicken stir fry rather than teriyaki. The chicken was diced as well. The brown rice was mushy and not as light and fluffy as brown rice typically is that I have eaten. My friends enjoyed their Ninja boxes. Both were chock full of food. There was a plentiful supply of tempura but oddly each box had a fried onion ring...not battered like typical tempura, but perhaps frozen??? Sushi was delicious. All in all we agreed that the food was certainly palatable and filling but nothing outstanding or deserving of high praise. The pricing for lunch was a little on the high side, but we went away full! Pricing- $12.50 for each lunch box, $9.95 for Teriyaki and $4 for edamame. Total before tip was around $42. read more

Great ambiance, staff, and food! Sashimi were kind of frozen but still delicious. No disappointment at all. Chef even gave us a free special roll. The green tea Mochica ice cream is a must try! The BEST thing on the menu is the sea urchin, freshest I have ever had! Totally worth it! Go Tampa :) read more

I could never get tired of this restaurant or it's employees. Great food no matter what you order and staff is always pleasant.

Don't know what happened but went there for dinner and everyone in my party got sick to their stomachs. More like poopy ninja would not go back as the food must've not been cooked properly read more

Service was good. Seats were worn and need updated Rolls were small Just average sushi My search for excellent sushi in Tampa continues. I am running out of options. I know sushi, LA, Seattle, Dallas and Salt Lake, yes Salt Lake crush Tamp. Help me Yelp me read more

This place never disappoints! Today we had simple rolls since I was eating with the youngster. California Roll, Spicy Tuna Roll and Crunchy Spider Roll. Delish as usual. You gotta come here and try the Buccaneer roll. They have specialty rolls named after all different Tampa places! They have a menu of other items as well. We started out with a bowl of Miso soup! Good service, decent prices and great sushi. This place is a staple on my list! read more

Sushi Ninja does not disappoint. The service is typically on point (not overly friendly , aside from Hannah) but definitely nothing to frown at . The food is amazing , genuinely my favorite Sushi place in the area or perhaps Tampa as a whole. The paradise roll is to die for & super fulfilling ! The fried lobster on top really sets it off . Always a win at sushi Ninja ! read more

Our server took forever with everything, food sucked, brought out my Boba tea with no Boba and no Boba straw after bringing the Boba

VERY pricey and OK. We've tried several of their menu items and have only found a couple of rolls that we like. The fried rice is not yummy at all, very disappointed. We've tried going back a few times but have not been impressed. The price to taste is simply not worth it. We do NOT recommend this restaurant. read more

Everything we ordered for pickup (5 rolls, soup, several fried rice orders and kids tempura chicken) were ready in 25 minutes. Fast, friendly and food was excellent. We will be back, highly recommend! read more

This place just had a remodel and its gorgeous inside! It makes me feel like Im in a Disney resort themed restaurant. Also the sushi is on point! Spicy octopus is my favorite! read more

Great and tasty sushi for good prices I recommend the rainbow, Tampa and Mexican rolls Especially if u don't like the added sauces, spicy Mayo, to sushi rolls. read more

This place was phenomenal. Great vibe and great customer service. The price was just right and the sushi tasted great. I got the okay roll and spicy crunchy salmon on the lunch deal for only $10. They also enforce masks very well, temperate check at the door, and offer hand sanitizer. Staff was also very safe. I will be coming back often! read more

Down to earth excellent restaurant tucked in a Publix shopping center. However , don't let that fool you. The food is excellent. read more

We had been to this place more than 5 years ago but thought the food was ok, not great. We thought we'd give it another shot especially now during the time not a lot of restaurants are open. However, it was another disappointment. The food was eh (kind of bland). read more

Now my favorite sushi place!!! The octopus was tender and the crazy ninja roll was amazing! Our server, whose name I can't remember, was really good. Attentive but not overbearing.

Updated: service has been better every single time since. I haven't had any issues. This is still the best sushi in brandon. Will be coming back for sushi again! read more

Took FOREVER to get our food. Our server didn't address it either. I swear ever since covid the quality of service has gone down. Our table wasn't even wiped before hand either, that's something you shouldn't have to ask to be done either. However, the sushi was yummy but the presentation was sloppy. read more

Always a treat. Have Sushi ninja in my cell phone so we can place a pick up order. Yummy every time.

I am a long time resident and have trying to find the best sushi spot in Brandon/Riverview/Valrico and I think I've found it. Sushi Ninja hits the spot in so many ways. Ambience: I love the new location and remodel. There are tables, sushi bar, and booths. There is a separate wing for poke bowls and boba which is a nice touch and the high seats for the booths provide an intimate and private atmosphere. Food: I wasn't sure what to get so I went with my usual, Mexican Roll, Volcano Roll, and a wild card recommended by the sushi chef...Godzilla Roll. My God did he do an amazing job, my senses were tingling as soon as our waitress brought it to the table. The presentation was beautiful and it just as flavorful and tasty as it looked. The quality of fish, shrimp, and roe were on-point. I couldn't have asked for a better set of rolls for dinner. To complete dinner, I finished it off with a Taro boba, it was the perfect way to complete the night. I've been to many good sushi places all around the country and this is my new go-to spot in Tampa and I'm just happy it's in my backyard. Mad props to our sushi chef (Cris) on making some of best sushi I've had. A+++++ read more

We had the highest hopes for this place after reading the reviews. And the decor is definitely a cut above. But the food doesn't live up to the hype. Anyone giving this place 5 stars must have just had the sushi. The sushi is good. Not great, but good. There are any number of sushi places that are as good or better in the area. Outside of that, this place doesn't even live up to the quality and taste of mall Japanese food. When we walked in, no one welcomed us, even though there were three hostesses standing at the host's podium. I was a little worried at that point, but the decor put me at ease. Everything is really nice inside. Unfortunately, we don't go to restaurants for what they look like, but what the food tastes like. Things started with the soup and salad. The soups were served moderately warm. Usually when you get the chicken broth soup at a Japanese restaurant, you have to wait for it to cool down. Here, it was gooey and the mushrooms weren't even cooked all the way. The salads were okay, but otherwise completely forgettable, except for the server's hair my wife found in hers. Yes, a hair. In the salad. The hair was around a foot long, and after my wife put it on a plate, the waitress looked at it every time she walked by. But she never asked about it. Several times we saw her run her hands through her hair, and her hair was not pulled back. We were going to speak to the manager about it, but we never saw a manager. The entrees were the real failures. My wife had the chicken katsu, and it was fried. That's the good of it. The bad is that the chicken was rubbery. For these prices, I'd really expect fresh, not frozen chicken. So much for expectations. I had the chicken teriyaki. According to the menu, the chicken was to be "stir fried" with vegetables. Nope. The vegetables were in the bottom of a cast-iron skillet and overly soft. They were obviously pre-cooked and then heated up. The chicken was grilled (pro-tip: stir fry doesn't leave grill marks), sliced and then laid over the vegetables with more teriyaki sauce drizzled over it. And like the katsu, this was frozen chicken. Both of us left almost all of our chicken. This isn't five-star quality. This isn't even mall restaurant quality. Hospital or airplane food, maybe. Definitely not worthy of the price. In fact, as I looked at my sad, pathetic, frozen chicken teriyaki, I actually had a moment where I wished I was at the mall so I could have some of that chicken teriyaki that they're always giving samples of. That chicken teriyaki is light years better than what you get here. I like to leave a positive note to my reviews, so I will say that the white rice was cooked well. On the way out, we passed the host's station again, and again, three people standing around and no one said "good bye" as we left. It's the little things. This place is a definite pass for me. Even though the sushi was good, it wasn't good enough. I really wish I had the last thirty minutes of my life back. But at least now I know that I'll never have to come here again, and that's a good thing to know. read more

Customer services were slacking a bit and the server was forgetful and unpleasant. Forgot straw, forgot fork, forgot spoon, and other things not worth mentioning. Horrible flavors for food and lack of quality in their choices and freshness. Small pieces for specialty rolls was not worth the prices. read more

Top tier sushi in Brandon, Tampa location is great too. I tend to get the same stuff each time - Volcano Roll & Special Mexican Roll, soooo good read more

great sushi need I say more tried just about every other in town always great fresh. The staff is nice food comes quickly to go is the same.

Stopped by between lunch/dinner hours and the place was reasonably busy, not enough for me to not have a booth though which was nice. I decided to go with the classic California Rolls and ordered three. They all came out very fresh, the rice had a great texture and the avocado was perfectly green and soft, the smelt roe was fine on top. The crab meat was pretty delicious too. They didn't take too long to bring out my big order and their soda wasn't flat. The waitress was attentive, but quick to keep things moving. Overall, a cool little sushi place with a pretty neat name. read more

This is my favorite sushi restaurant! The staff is friendly and helpful. The restaurant is clean and really complies with CDC recommendations. Most importantly, the food is fantastic! I highly recommend the fried rice, Bebe roll, Krazy Krab roll, and ginger salad. The bubble teas are great too! My husband says their poke bowls are the best he's ever had. You really can't go wrong here! read more

The décor is a bit weird and the place wasn't super clean, but not dirty either (minor things most people probably wouldn't notice like an incredible amount of dust on the decorations and awnings over the booths). The waitress we had was a bit forgetful but sweet. Allot of their rolls were similar but overall it was delicious, even the simple rolls and not over priced either. read more

This place is the best I have tasted yet! I'm definitely a foodie and hands down this place takes the prize. The only down fall was the wait was way to long to be a small place. But people were nice. read more
