Lucky NINJA — Restaurant in Christchurch

12 Nov 2018 - I was having a lunch at this caravan eatery located in the Cathedral Square on a Monday afternoon. This is the second time I dine in at this place, and it is a typical street food Japanese style. There is multiple menu boards written 📝 in English with pricing.

The food that they serve is simple and delicious 😋. Mainly hot food 🍜🍛🍲. When you spend more $10 or more, you can get the miso soup for free and unlimited servings. However, when it runs out, then there is no refill (which happened to me 😢😭😥)

I ordered a spicy ninja teriyaki chicken 🐔 don (rice 🍚 with a fried teriyaki chicken 🐔 garnished with shredded salad topped off with Japanese 🏯 mayonnaise) which comes with a bowl of free, bottomless miso soup. The taste was delicious 😋 and portion size is reasonable for the price.

This is a non licensed eatery and you can order non alcoholic drinks ☕🍵. There are tables, chairs and long stools at the outdoor [sheltered] area.

Street parking 🅿 only.

They accept cash, EFTPOS and credit card payments (yes, Paywave is available), for those who want to know.

Would I go back? Maybe 😏 Would I recommend? Yes 😊. Quick bite and reasonable pricing.

Food: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Can't go wrong with Japanese dishes. Tasty and delicious 😋. Ambience: ⭐⭐⭐ out of 5. This is a hawker style dining environment, and therefore don't expect too much. Price: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ out of 5. Slightly cheaper (pricing) compared to other...

This place serves the best chicken and chips in the world, offering an unforgettable culinary experience. The chicken is perfectly seasoned, crispy on the outside, and juicy on the inside, with a bold, flavorful kick that keeps you coming back for more. The chips are golden, crispy, and fluffy, perfectly fried and seasoned to perfection, creating the ideal pairing with the chicken. Whether dipped in their signature sauce or enjoyed on their own, every bite is a savory delight. With excellent service and a meal that elevates comfort food to new heights, this is the ultimate chicken and chips experience—once you try it, nothing else...

Right in the centre of Chch! I wish I knew of this wee place sooner. The food is amazing! I got the Karaage chicken, it’s so tender & moist 🤤 Some places have it so dry, like a super dry fried chicken, not there. The people are very nice & kind. Great value for money also with a free miso soup, probably the best miso I’ve ever had in my entire life (no jokes!). On a sunny day, you can sit anywhere in the sun, they’re like ‘street food’, in a small van, but there’s plenty of...
