    Inside
    Stephanie W.

    Nestled in Bloomingdale Plaza for almost a decade, Sushi Ninja Brandon stands as a beloved gem, defying the odds in a world where restaurants come and go. What do I love about Sushi Ninja Brandon? - It's the sister location of the popular Sushi Ninja Tampa, bringing a sense of community. - Their incredible Korean specialties never fail to impress my in-laws - Unlike many places that have succumbed to the trap of online ordering and delivery, Sushi Ninja keeps it traditional. You call in your order, stroll in to pick it up, and enjoy the charm of old-fashioned service. What don't I love? - It does feel a bit odd in this digital age not to offer online ordering, but maybe that's part of the unique charm!

    chicken wings
    Max E.

    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.

    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.

    Hamachi Carpaccio
    Vi G.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    OK, I was spoiled in San Diego with Michelin Star Ramen, but this is the first spot since moving…read moreback to Tampa that I feel is on the same level as back in San Diego. Let's start with the ambiance. I have been at this location when it was previously another restaurant and the upgrades done are exceptional. Kanji is a perfect date ambiance. (bring a jacket though, it can get chilly). As far as service, I've never had bad service here, and the recommendations are truly to leave you satisfied, not just to pad the bill. THE FOOD. The spicy Tonkatsu, fried oysters, gyosa, fried rice...heck almost anything on the menu as been amazing and the Sushi isn't stingy. You might pay a little more but you get a lot more. Full bar selection and good bartenders are just the plus. Clean bathrooms, clean restaurant, great food, great service. Highly recommend.

I decided to go with 2 rolls for lunch; a basic yellowtail roll, and a spider roll, which comes with fried softshell crab. While I was waiting, the sushi chef provided me with a specialty piece of yellowtail that was amazing! My rolls came out quickly, and they were absolutely perfect. While less pieces than I'm used to, the yellowtail roll was packed with fish. And the soft shell crab was perfectly cooked, plus I love that they provided the deep fried legs, too. Everything I received was beautifully plated on slate dishes, which is always a nice touch. Yes, I do think its more expensive than other sushi places ($4 for a soda, come on?!) but it was really excellent sushi. If I'm ever in the area again (which, honestly, I hope not to be), I would definitely return.

We came to celebrate my friend's birthday. They don't take reservations, and we walked in with a party of five. Right away I noticed none of the tables had hot pot or KBBQ setups, which confused me. Turns out this isn't traditional hot pot. You order it and it comes out already prepared in a bowl with a small gel burner underneath (bright purple/fuchsia fuel). They use way too much fuel, and the flames come out the sides. The bowls are visibly burnt, and at our table a napkin caught fire because it was too close to the flame -- not exactly comforting. This is also a buffet, which I personally don't love. There are a lot of options, but most of the food was either too salty, too bland, or after a while everything started tasting the same. Another thing that stood out was our server's attitude. It was a little too much for my liking and made it feel uncomfortable to ask for anything. I hate when service comes off that way -- especially when your job is to serve and help the table. On the plus side, the place is new, clean, and reasonably priced. If you're with friends, really hungry, and just want a quick, casual spot, it works. Just don't come in expecting a real hot pot or Korean BBQ experience, because that's not what this is.

Guaranteed -1-2lbs a weeks 0-50 carbs a day n it just falls off by itself. 2+ if working out. I will be coming back later since im working more now that i can and om usually around here after work. I can just eat just the fish n side salads it be bueno. ***Would love to see a keto roll like; substitute the rice for riced cauliflower. The madam that had use was nice n attentive. very pleasant.

The sushi was good but did get a couple stringy fatty pieces in the tuna roll. Overall, definitely would try them again.

    I was absolutely blown away by this place!…read more I was staying at the hotel next door and didn't feel like getting ripped off by Uber Eats, so I decided to venture over to the small plaza next to the hotel. There were several spots there, but this one immediately caught my attention. Small, tucked away, and with the words "Sushi" and "Ramen" on the sign. That was all I needed to see. I walked in, picked up the food I had already ordered, and headed back to the hotel. I was too tired to sit down and enjoy my meal there... maybe I should have. Maybe next time? The ambiance is great! The wall art was fantastic, and it felt like a small izakaya straight out of Japan.
