Ninja Japanese Restaurant — Restaurant in Chandler

Awesome sushi, friendly staff, and authentic neon Japanese feel.

This place has character... reminds me of the neon diners in Japan; truly authentic feeling and food if you know what you're looking for. The fish always tastes very good and my advice is to go with the "all you can eat" option. Take your time and enjoy with a nice sake bomb!

I typically love this place, service was off though, way off compared to the last time I went. I literally had to wait thirty minutes between rolls. They were busy but it seemed like the waiters were just being super flakey and there was a chef just sitting behind the counter staring off into space (literally, my wife pointed this out).

Normally I'm super forgiving, especially with places I like but between the wait and being made felt like I was given some huge favor by being let to take my last roll to go (was on the all you can eat), I have to downgrade to three stars because of the price. I made it through two hand rolls (these were very good) a chicken roll (terrrrrible, but my wife asked me to try it) and the final two rolls that took another thirty minutes - I just can't say I love this place like I used to.

$50 is fair for two or three rounds of rolls and an entree if service is at least decent, this night it was "okay" at best, even that's being kind of generous. Look, I run a business too and I know how hard food service can be, but a waitress shouldn't be flaking around talking about videogames with customers if you're so slammed it takes you 30 minutes to get out an order. I don't think I'm being too harsh. The food here is good, the price is fair but the service was poor, so I give you three stars. I've been coming to Ninja for like at least three or four years and it looks like a lot of new staff, please whip them into shape and maybe we can get you back up to a four or five star review. For now, I feel like I've got no choice but to take you down to three, sorry.

P.S. Please for the love of all that is good, take that terrible chicken roll off your sushi menu, it's the grossest concoction I've ever tasted and you're...

Edited again: took my husband in for his birthday today 12/26/24. Was sat immediately, then promptly ignored. Server walked by multiple times, never asked us for our drinks. We walked out, and was completely ignored by the hostess. I think I’m done giving you guys chances. I’ve walked out of your establishment THREE separate times, and was not acknowledged all 3 times. Shame on me for thinking the management woulda actually staff for a Thursday evening.

Edited: we came back again today 2/14/23, and they’re busy, as usual, it’s Valentine’s Day! We were sat well after another couple who came in after us. Their drink orders were taken and we proceeded to be ignored for 10 minutes. I made eye contact with 3 different waitresses who continued to ignore us. As we left not a single word was said, and that didn’t settle right with me. I went back in to speak with someone about my disappointment and they actively avoided walking back up to me. This was their last chance. I’m so disappointed. I’ve been coming here for 4 years and even continued to come after multiple long waits and poor service. Their food is SO good. I’ll be looking for a new go to sushi spot. I’m just done being disappointed by their cruddy service.

I normally love this place. I’ve been eating here at least once a month for the last two years. They were a rare spot that still sat during the pandemic. We did our best to support. Food is excellent, and the service usually is too. The last two times, it’s seemed they are wickedly understaffed for the amount of people they can seat. I’m okay with a wait, it’s sushi, there’s generally a wait. We’ve been here two HOURS now, an hour and a half just waiting for food. 2 rolls were completely forgotten. What was really wild, I still had a $60 tab. I’ll be giving this place another go eventually, but it’s going to be a while. I’m extremely...

First time ordering for delivery, As my usual sushi place was closed. The combination of sushi looked good and prices as well. So, I thought I would give it a try. sadly, When I received my order, every single role was unraveling. the roles also seemed smaller Than the pictures. especially that lovely sushi boat They have posted with large rolls. mine were maybe an 1 1/2 in width.

I initially tried the las vegas roll. I was taken aback by the large amount of California roll filling as it only states salmon, cream cheese, crab and avocado. i'm assuming they use the california roll filling, as it's already pre made instead of just breaking up crab mix independently. unfortunately, all I could taste is mayonnaise, which is why I don't usually order the california rolls.

I then tried the shake n bake roll. this comes with assorted fish, crab mix, cream cheese, and a garlic aioli. i wanted to try it, as i've never had a sushi roll with garlic aioli before. that flavoring was good. Unfortunately, the mixed fish was lacking in flavoring. So sadly, the aioli overtook the roll. it just tasted like I was eating that and rice. i've had rolls at other places with mixed fish and you could distinctly make out each flavor but I believe because this role was so small Those bits were small as well, which took away from the pairing of the flavors.

I had other usual rolls, spicy tuna, spicy, yellow tail, philly roll, and so on. those we're good, but nothing to write home about.

I think I would have liked some of the roles better if they weren't so small and weren't...
