Ninja Japanese Restaurant — Restaurant in Sydney

I visited here with my husband and my daughter, we were celebrating her 5th birthday as she wanted sushi. I was left Absolutely violated and quite shaken after being threatened with the police from the owners and made to pay for a dish that was still being made in the kitchen 10 mins after we had finished our dinner. Not only were we the first in the restaurant we were still waiting for our mains after 4 other tables had been served first so had assumed the sushi dish had been forgotten. Sushi. Non cooked dish. The service was woefully slow and really bad. The owner threatened to call the police and got his phone to call them, he had the audacity to educate me and tell me that they are not MacDonalds who serve fast food when I refused to pay for a dish that wasn’t even finished by the time we were leaving. I was literally not allowed to leave without paying for the sushi. Held to ransom. Then told I would get 10% off but that didn’t happen. I was so upset I felt I had to write this review. Appalling customer service and treatment. They refused to let me pay the balance without the unmade sushi and wanted to argue in front of all their customers inside and waiting. So I caved in and paid as it was a Mexican stand off. I am so utterly disgusted with how they treated me...

Local Favourite in Avalon — Excellent Food, Just Bring Your Indoor Voice or ask for a seat outside when it's warm enough!

This little Japanese restaurant in Avalon Village has been running under the same owner and chef since 2004, and it shows in the consistency and quality of the food. We’ve been back multiple times, and it never disappoints.

The chicken karaage is a standout, crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, packed with flavour. Gyoza looked a little dark but tasted spot-on. One heads-up: the seaweed salad is mostly lettuce, so ask for pickled seaweed if you’re after proper wakame.

The only drawback? It gets really loud inside. Not the best spot for quiet conversation, but we keep coming back because the food is...

Always enjoyed eating at Ninja Avalon, the host is very polite and always welcoming. Even though I am a regular, I scrutinise every dish I order and the joint has never let me down. The top dishes are Gyoza, the Tempura Prawn is cooked to perfection, Udon is good too but a special order, lady knows us and always says yes!! The Karaage(fried chicken with mayo and salad) is the best of all I have tried outside of Tokyo. Why you may ask, well, they slice chicken thigh skin-on and fry it so well your taste buds will thank me for it. This is Japanese at its best and most authentic! Its our regular jaunt...
