Miraculously it was the only place open at 9 pm!Very friendly people and the sushi was great.We both got bento boxes, around $16 each. Parking is a little difficult. Lots of tables, and good food.

They don’t give you utensils u less you go into notes and specifically request it.Then had the audacity to blame Uber for stopping them fromIncluding utensils.I asked them if they were brand new restaurant and this was a beginners mistake and they didn’t like that

I’ve been here a couple times, and staff has been wonderful each time. Good portions, and good quality sushi as well. Bonus for being open late for customers!

Bento box was really good. A lot of bang for the buck. Spicy Tuna Roll was just okay though for a sushi place. But it did look delicious.

I love coming here for a nice, intimate dinner with my friends. It’s usually quiet and quick service.

Very nice sushi restaurant that opens very late!! A plus for that. Ninja is right across the street from Artichoke Joes, but if it’s late, street parking is pretty easy. The nigiri is very good as is the special rolls. We got the chef’s sushi special that included the California roll and 6 pieces as well as a big special roll. It was good but the shiro maguro was somewhat fishy and mushy. In the future we’ll stay away from that and order our own nigiri pieces.

Some of the best sashimi I have ever had. The customer service was super helpful & sweet & they also had good music playing. It’s awesome they’re open til 2am

Food was not good at all. Only thing that was okay was appetizers. After we told them we didn’t like something they still charged us for it. Need better service for sure.Go to the place next door instead. Better food and better service.

Tried several Japanese restaurants and this is the BEST we’ve tried in the entire area! Food was AMAZING!!!! We had a huge Dragon Roll, Chicken Teriyaki dinner and a Bento Box (Tuna Roll, Chicken Teriyaki). No skimping on food here! Even had to take home leftovers! Very reasonably priced! Highly recommend and they have late hours too!! Already told them that we are their next regulars!!!

There was a piece of plastic in the salad, and the soup had homeopathic amounts of tofu & seaweedThe waitress was probably on methThe tonkatsu was meh, the sauce was terrible

Ordered on Uber eats, made a few substitutions in the special instructions. The substitutions were perfectly followed and the total was adjusted accordingly. Food was delicious, well priced and came in good packaging. Very pleased to find a good go to sushi when traveling to the area.

This has always been my favorite local spot for lunch and late night dinners. Their special sushi roll selection is unique and delicious, their 49er Roll is my favorite. Ive been coming here for a few years and their food is delicious and consistent in addition to friendly staff.

Amazing that they are open past midnight but the food is pretty average. They also have Korean food on the menu.

This place is absolutely phenomenal. The staff and owners are some of the nicest most hospitable people I have ever met. & the food? Bruh.... My tummy didnt hurt afterwards. Its one of the most enjoyable and pleasant experiences that you could ever allow yourself to enjoy. SO DO IT. AND TIP PHENOMENALLY. WORTH EVERYTHING.

Very good selection and fair pricing. There is a casino across the street id you are feeling lucky after getting full. Very polite and friendly staff and calm dining atmosphere perfect to take your significant other for dinner.

Parking is just street parking, can be quite difficult during busy hours.Decor is quite appropriate, good atmosphere... though its quite forlorn without much customers.Service is adequate, though I expected it to be faster than it was since we came in at a time without many other patrons.Came for the happy hour 20% off of the special rolls. Ordered the Volcano roll, which, while spicy, is not specially flavorful. Also ordered the Lion King roll, which tasted much more unique, though the congealed mozarella made it hard to separate.All in all, adequate quality and service, for not-too-expensive happy hour prices.

Been here many times. This is one of our Sunday date night places. Now only take out is available, I like to support my favorite places. After all the years we been going here, this Sunday they made their first mistake on one of my dishes. I found hair in my salad, tossed it out. I dont think this one mistake will keep me from going back.

Love to come here with my friend late at night when we’re craving some good food. This is a great place for a meal at 1 am and everything else except for fast food is closed. It’s pretty quiet late on a weekday but can get packed on the weekend. The same chef and waitress are always nice.We always share the original tofu soup ($12.95) and a 4 piece order of sake shashimi ($6.95). We also like their firecracker roll ($10.95).

2021-11-09 01:42:17

OMG! Terrible! Horrible! What kind of restaurant is? All three of us get diarrhea after the dinner. To be honest, the restaurant smells badly and the environment I could tell the hygiene is unacceptable. The food doesnt taste good. Go any Japanese restaurant except this one. If you go, God bless you.

Review №27

2017-04-08 06:49:58

My friend and I arrived for a very late dinner, and were helped by friendly staff despite the hour. We had an assortment of sashimi and sushi (some regular and some specialty rolls) and some seaweed salad, all of which were enjoyable. We accompanied our meal with some sake and some beer, both of which were fine but nothing to write home about. Overall, a good experience, but compared to our other options at that hour, it was super awesome.

Review №28

2019-09-28 08:15:16

The food was okay and the service was slow. Only one server during the late night shift. If youre looking for a quick bite or quality food this isnt your place.

Review №29

2018-03-23 05:19:45

The fried tofu and fries oysters are ok. Nothing too special.

Review №30

2019-04-16 14:35:14

Good food, good prices, great staff. It was nice to find the Bento box for dinner, some other places Ive been to dont have Bento boxes for dinner and some not at all. There was a local place I use to go to that had the Bento box with your choice of two or three items and even came with California Roll, here the Roll would be one of your choices. This is my only gripe.

Review №31

2018-08-21 20:17:30

Always a pleasant experience here. Open late, good food and prices. The staff has always been the same when I have ate here 9pm-1am or so. If youre looking for something good late at night, I recommend Ninja.

We had an amazing experience in this restaurant. We loved the superb ambience and the meals. The waiters were very affable. I’m happy we finally decided to try this restaurant.

Review №36

2019-12-20 06:46:28

If you’ve never had sushi before, this place will be the reason you don’t try it again. And if you have had sushi before, you won’t come back here. I’ve been to many sushi places in town, Amami is the best..this place is the worst, and I had the nigiri, regular and specialty rolls. The fish tasted fishy and the rice wasn’t seasoned well, but fortunately there was so much rice it overpowered the fish..not a compliment. Won’t waste my money here again, please don’t do the same.

Ok. Food ok. Service super slow. Only one waitress for all the restaurant. Midnaigjt time. 30 min waiting for food. It’s good but not the best. Good for eating but not for a fast dinner waitress not friendly at all. She always on a rush. Only one person taking care of everybody. Ready to be slow service. 20 tables one waitress not good.
