Just go there. Just go. Seriously, go, and order the Flaming Heart Roll, and rejoice. The cocktails are pricy, but the sushi is perfect and affordable. You might find cheaper sushi, but not better for these sorts of prices. The atmosphere is nice, it's always busy (but never so packed you have to wait for a table). Being able to BYOB is great for large parties or cheap date nights. When the small parking lot is the worst complaint, you really can't go wrong.

Without a doubt my favorite sushi restaurant ever! I find myself at Ninja a few times a month as well as getting take out from there regularly. The prices are ridiculously cheap & the sushi is ridiculously delicious and fresh, it really does not get much better than that. I've got to say that the presentation isn't as elaborate as other places I've gone to, but when it comes to over all quality, other places don't even hold a light to Ninja. Rolls I Recommend: Star Roll Hawaiian Roll Spicy Girl Roll

This sushi place is totally adequate and definitely hit the spot while I was visiting Feasterville. My husband and I were a bit taken aback at the half-off prices. We assumed they were happy hour prices but apparently it's all the time?! I think places that do this are a bit strange. We ordered miso soup, edamame, and 3 sushi rolls. We couldn't finish it all. The edamame was a bit overcooked and the rolls were just ok -- nothing to write home about. I would try another sushi place in the area before returning to this one.

Giving Kyoto a run for their money. Like this place a lot. Stunning chandelier over the steps between the first and second floors. Fun lights but unfortunately the added these cheesy faux roses which now make the place look super tacky. Other than decor, it's a gem. The wait staff was super nice. Rolls are cheap and half price. Some of the vegetarian rolls are as cheap as $2.00! I didn't want rice and asked if they could just make it with seaweed. They couldn't for the peanut avocado rolls so they suggested I order hand rolls which they custom made for me. They were great. Crispy and fresh. But for some reason they cost double what the rolls would. Not sure why. They look like less work than sushi rolls and have less ingredients. Kinda weird. This place is a good option when in the NE. BYOB a and cheap.

This place has a nice and friendly staff and atmosphere. Gorgeous chandelier when you get to the top steps. The location is great, in the heart of northeast philadelphia, and nice off street parking. Ninja is a nice local easy place to eat out.

This is another half-off sushi joint that isn't bad, but isn't particularly good. The space is dark with a fun, young vibe. The service is good, with attentive waitstaff, and a hostess who seats you quickly. In terms of sushi, the fish is fresh, and the combination rolls are interesting, but the sushi rice is not good. Sushi rice is something that seems to fail at most establishments in the area (still looking for a place that makes good sushi rice). The "Japanese soda" is just Ramune, and it would be better if they labeled it as such. I guessed it was probably that, but just in case it was something different, I ordered it. How silly to not list it as what it is! This is not a place to go out of your way for, however if someone wants to go, it's not bad.

OK! So we've been coming here at least monthly since it opened - it's actually one of my favorite local sushi spots now. Just went again tonight and wanted to post an update since the first time coming here. The sushi is hands down on spot. It's fresh, nicely sized, and really well made. My favorites right now would be the Japan One and Flaming Heart rolls. However, every roll I've had to this point has been tasty. The staff are super friendly and helpful, just like the opening week. Really nice people. My only suggestion that I noticed lately is that the hibachi dishes have been slacking a little. The past couple times we've either had our dinners drenched in too much teriyaki or overcooked meats. But this is still my fav sushi spot nonetheless and still going to come back monthly :)

Grand Opening! Third half-price sushi/hibachi place to open in the area within a couple years. This place looks the nicest tho. Let's see how the food is... =} ...The food was amazing. My friend got five sushi rolls and they were all great. I got sashimi and the fish was like butter it melted in your mouth. This will be my go-to sushi spot from now on.

Mathew M.
Nice decor and atmosphere. Lots of servers and attendants made the service prompt. The sushi chefs are creative with their designs on the plates. Had a couple of regular rolls which were a bit plain but the sashimi and the sashimi roll were great and melted in your mouth! Mmmm

Veronica K.
I call this place douchey sushi, mostly for its outrageous decor and egotistic crowd. First the good; service is prompt and warm, meals come out in a reasonable amount of time. Plus this is now probably the cheapest Japanese joint in the area (8 bucks for a chicken hibachi platter ain't bad). Their sushi is decent, but others in the area have superior versions of the rolls I got. (One of my rolls had soggy, chewy seaweed which is the number one biggest sushi no-no for me). Plus the clientele on a Saturday was grating, there's nothing humble about this place, which is a trait I find endearing in food establishments. But to each their own. Not bad, just mediocre in the end.

BEST HIBACHI PLACE TO OPEN IN THE PAST 5 YEARS! My friend and I always go during the day time (Around 4pm-6pm) on any given day. The service, food, decor, and ambiance are impeccable. I am a stickler for customer service and never have I been willing to over tip so often. It is highly appreciated. We usually order Crispy Spicy Salmon Roll and Crispy Spicy California Roll. (Highly Recommend). Also the Shrimp Hibachi, and the Chicken and Steak Hibachi are worth ordering. The rice is cooked very well. I've been to about 11 Hibachi places from Langhorne's A1 Japanese Steakhouse and Arirangs all the way down to To-Kai and Ninja, and as far down as Hibachi Japanese Steak House on Penns Landing. Ninja is by far the best for all around service, experience and food.

Cute atmosphere, good sushi. A lot of Russians in this place so just a fair warning... Also they seem overstaffed. There were lots of waiters just standing around and seemingly confused, they were also trying to get us to leave fairly quickly. Not sure if it's just because we went when they first opened, but hopefully they've improved and gotten themselves together! It's not bad, but not the best. I might come back but not dying to.

It took some effort to convince my husband to try this place, given its odd location and name. But as soon as he walked in, his skepticism quickly faded. The decor is very nice and modern, and the people were very friendly. We spent a fair amount of time trying to decide what to eat, as they have the longest list of specialty rolls we've ever seen -- and almost all of them looked good! They were very creative. We made our selections (spicy crunchy tuna, spicy crunchy salmon, lobster dynamite and black angel) and waited to see if this place would be any good. We are definitely sushi snobs, so it could have gone either way. After finishing some wine (it's BYOB), the waiter brought a large plate of very nicely presented rolls to our table. We dug in and were shocked that all 4 of them were great! The fish was fresh, the flavors unique but delicious, and the presentation and quantities did not disappoint. We will definitely be coming back, especially at the 50%-off prices, as our bill for 4 specialty rolls was the best we've seen. Our recommendation is to get past the odd location and name, maybe even the crazy orange color of the building, and try it. You won't be disappointed.

Ordered their cooked salmon tempura roll, which was amazing and the best I've ever had. I also ordered the chicken Pad Thai just to see if it was better than what I have eaten before. The chicken Pad Thai was pretty good, but just fell a little short compared to what I've had in the past. I also think the prices are very reasonable for their huge portions. I will definitely recommend this place and surely come back!

This restaurant was DELICIOUS!!!!! The tuna pizza is so good. I highly recommend the Ninja Sashimi roll. My mom loved the teriyaki shrimp! We will definitely be coming back!!!

Inside of the building is much nicer than the outside. Bento box dinners are great. Tempura shrimp is light and crisp. It's made perfectly. Try their hot tea. We asked about the very subtle, grainy flavor in the tea that enhanced the flavor and they told us it's rice added to enhance. It really has a great taste. Wouldn't want to come on a crowded night, but it really is a very cool place to eat at during slower hours. It's a great place for a date night.

I went to Ninja yesterday to try them since my mom wanted to go there. Now, being sushiholic I am, I'm always up with going to a new sushi place. So my mom and I arrived there and was I surprised!!! When I saw the decor outside I was like 'oh, this place is not going to be like Akira or Sakura where they have more Japanese styled furniture' but do not be deceived, the inside is amazing!!! Very modern. Our waitress, Winnie, was amazing, the staff was super friendly! Now onto the food! I ordered a salmon skin salad, a Russian Dream Sashmi roll, a scallop tempura roll, and fried cheesecake(which I thought my mom and I could try) while my mom got the Avocado Blossom, a scallop tempura roll, and two other rolls which I can't remember the names of. My salad was amazing and I got to try my mom'a salad as well. I swear, that Avocado Blossom was heaven on Earth. Our rolls were amazing, perfect size. The fried cheesecake was delicious. Oh! And they had melon Ramune soda!!!! I will definitely come back here. Hopefully as my to go place instead of Sakura!

I went here yesterday to celebrate my birthday with my friends. Worst service I have ever experienced! Waited 30 minutes for someone to even come up to the table and ask what we would like to drink. The restaurant was not busy at all then once we order we had to wait another 45 minutes for our rolls and food. Not once did they apologize for the wait and not once did one of the waiters come up and ask if everything is okay. I will never go here again! Waste of my money!

Eh not feeling it. Came based on how many reviews they have. Got take out btw. Place has no parking whatsoever the inside is huge. 2 floors. Their menus is like a book! They dont have as much sushi as one expects. I thought they'd have a ton more like places in Bensalem do. It was ok not great. The chicken sticks were some of the best I've ever had. Very smokey and tasty. Also got the hibachi chicken and steak. Was ext land and tasteless way too many veggies with literally 3 carrots. The sushi wasn't really that good either. A little disappointing based on the killer lighting on the outside and the good reviews. Moving on though. Thanks Anyway.

If you're someone that wants quantity over quality then this is the place. If you're on a budget this is a great place for a date. I got a hibachi dinner and sushi for under 20 bucks. You cant get there anywhere else. The steak was a little bit chewy but the hibachi rice was on point. I was a little sketched out by the sushi but hey don't ever be a brat about 6 bucks sushi yanno? I would come back here if I'm ever running low on cash and want a smorgasboard of food

This is another addition to ever growing "50% off sushi and hibachi" restaurants that seem to be popping up everywhere lately, but better. Ninja has a really cool and hip atmosphere and the food was equally good. The sushi was good as well as the hibachi meal I ordered. The restaurant was also very clean and well kept. The only issue we had was with our credit cards. It took the waitress about 5 minutes just to bring our cards back to us and one of our friends for charged the wrong amount. I wouldn't put that against the place though. A lot of these "half off" places look and taste the same but I definitely put Ninja above the rest. *great places for groups!

Andrea M.
The environment is awesome I really love the upstairs it gives in a city feel. The service was excellent and friendly. I liked the menus, not only for what they had to offer but they were designed very well. I started off with something I've never had before, a seaweed salad. It was amazing!! The sushi was of high quality and inexpensive. I am excited to go there again.

The waitress kept skipping over people when taking their orders. Some people got their entrees before others had their order taken. My dad has his order taken after the second group of people got their entrees. Just weird. The food was underwhelming also. Had the rubber chicken pad Thai. Bad food, bad service. Not coming back.

Came here for a meeting of 5 guys on a slow night. We brought someone and ordered massive amount of sushi. For the very generous price and the amount of sushi that we received, I really liked this place. Its 2 floors and its a pretty good atmosphere. I dont know what a busy dinner night is like here but for less than $20/person you can have a feast.

If we can't have a Vic's in our side of town, then Ninja will do. Quite well, I might add. Appearance: I Iwas startled by the richness of the interior, which completely belies the building's forgettable exterior and location. The walls are slate-covered everywhere you look. The take-away waiting area is flanked by two comfy, leather-covered banquettes. And the first floor dining room is dimly lit--romantic even--and appointed with leather banquettes and leather-clad dining chairs. I, however, could live without the Christmas lights that are hung here and there. They distract from the "bones" of the space. Food: The sushi (all we've ordered to date) has been consistently terrific. The Mister's fav rolls include the yellow-tail scallion, shrimp tempura, white tuna and salmon avocado. Mine include the Philly (smoked salmon and avocado (cream cheese deleted)). We are not fans of any of the spicy rolls because the fish is ground up and mixed with the spicy sauce (it's an idiosyncratic textural issue rather than a freshness or flavor problem). Service: Service has been prompt and efficient. On a couple of occasions, we have placed in person our take-away sushi order, and in both instances, our order was ready to go in less than 15 minutes. Thanks to our friend Billy for pointing us in Ninja's direction.

WHAT A STRANGE PLACE! I am kind of embarrassed that I fell for the 50% off sushi sign hanging outside of Ninja Sushi. I should have known better, judging by all of the tacky neon signs that something about this establishment would be off. Everything on the menu has an extremely inflated price crossed out, and the half-price option shown. They also have prices for 5-piece and 10-piece sushi rolls, which the 50% off prices do not correlate. Christina V. and I noticed a lot of the same roll names that we have seen at To-Kai and Makiman. We were skeptical that some of these may be knock-offs and we were right! We ordered three rolls to start, the Hot Girl Roll, Romantic Roll and Russian Dream Sashimi Roll. The server must not have heard us because they only brought out two of the three. We had to remind them to bring out the Hot Girl Roll and to be honest, we probably shouldn't have because it was nothing to write home about. The Russian Dream and Romantic Rolls were pretty good, but nothing mind blowing. We should have stopped while we were ahead but we were still hungry after those three rolls so we decided to order the Lobster Dynamite Roll because that is Christina's favorite at To-Kai. Well, Ninja Sushi did not copy the "recipe" correctly, because this Lobster Dynamite was so bad that we each had one bite and didn't want anymore. We asked to send it back because we did not like it and our server got a manager whom gave us an attitude and told us that the chef's made it properly and that everything was fresh. We again, told her we did not like it and she stormed off. They took it off he bill in the end, but we were still annoyed by the poor customer service that we received. We both decided we won't be returning to Ninja Sushi. Maybe they should have put a little more energy into their menu rather than their obnoxious ninja themed decor and excessive accent lighting.

I never leave any opinion but this one deserves to be heard! Sashimi salad and tuna calamari salad are loaded with letter and charged at equally 15$ each.. Four piece of sashimi on a sashimi salad is a disgrace. Calamari in calamari salad has more bread on it then a calamari itself. Mango summer roll is topped what tastes like a purred baby food. We left hungry, overcharged, loaded on letters and disappointed second time around! Good luck!

The prices are extremely reasonable here, the decor is pretty nice, the food is kind of inconsistent. My boyfriend and I came for lunch and I got a chicken hibachi lunch special. It was delicious! So we came back for dinner with friends and I got the same thing and it was good but not the same. I came back the following week with my dad and it was slightly worse. I really liked it the first time and the sushi is good so I hope this isn't a trend.

I order take out from here quite a lot, they have never messed up my order and always ready when I'm there for pick up after they let me know when to come. The chicken teriyaki and fried rice excellent, but the steak gets a little chewy so I recommend eating steak there. Great place dine in or take out.

I thought this place was alright. I came in with the wife and the mother in law recently during the week for dinner. We enter and MIL doesn't have an easy time up stairs, so I ask if we can sit on the first floor, and apparently we can't. So we scale the 25 stairs or so up the stairs - which is no problem for an able bodied person. If you or someone you are dining with has a problem with stairs - be warned. We go upstairs and it is decorated very elegantly. It is surprising because it is much nicer than the exterior or even the first floor had led me to believe. We ordered a party platter for the three of us and an additional special roll and it was all pretty good. Most of the rolls did not have fresh fish, so it was tough to judge the quality of it. From what we did have, the tuna and salmon seemed OK, and the albacore was good. The cooked fish and seafood was very good, particularly the soft shell crab. They did put lettuce in a couple of the rolls, which I strongly dislike as I see it as cheap filler that does nothing to enhance the experience. So if you're like me and detest lettuce in sushi, make sure to order rolls without it and to the follow up with a question. Did not try their other food, so can't comment on that. The service was actually very good. They do a good job of using a main waiter for each table and then they have a busser type of person that helps out. It's a very good system and effective for creating a pleasant dining experience. The prices were very reasonable although do not be misled by their large 3.99 lunch special sign outside. I was surprised that they offered such a deal. While I visited, I was there for dinner, but curious about the lunch special deal as it seemed incredible. The lunch special is vegetable fried rice. That's not a lunch, that's a side. They had other lunch specials that were more than 3.99 and also more than a side dish. I would not be opposed to coming back here. They had a bunch of special rolls that looked very interesting that I did not try. However, with so many sushi-japanese restaurants in the area that have already won my heart and are wheelchair accessible, I doubt I'll be back anytime soon.

One of my favorite sushi places I go to. I go here at least once a month. Its BYOB!! Their deals are amazing and you dont have to spent more than $20 for two people with the 2 for $20 deal. You can get soup, an appetizer and two dishes (or 6 rolls). Highly recommend this place

WOW! This place will definitely be the next big sushi place among younger and older crowds. The environment is inviting, the sushi is fresh, the specialty rolls are unique, and the staff was engaging and receptive to customer needs. We sampled 16 different rolls and each was delectable. You also can't beat the prices; everything was a great deal. Look out Kyoto--this place has you beat.

Polar B.
My favorite sushi place as of yet! Been here twice now after the gym, and the place is VERY clean, fast service and cheap prices. For those who enjoy sushi I highly recommend eating here. The gf gets the Pad Thai which comes in a huge bowl (where she eats the other half the next day). This kicks butt on Sakura / Akira. Once you go to Ninja, you won't go back to those.

Because the rolls are fair and some are like a "salad" or sea leg crap -still the best deal way under $50:clean/sharp/tasTy and the service got way faster after the spring

Nancy I.
Decor is nice and all but the food is not that great. I'm not a sushi person so we only ordered their entries. I had the pineapple shrimp fried rice and my boyfriend had the steak and scallop hibachi. My fried rice was not delectable at all. The only saving factor were the pineapples, otherwise I couldn't eat the rice by itself. The scallops from the hibachi had a strong after-taste and were not savory. The steak was dry, despite the hibachi sauce and the fact he asked for medium rare. I'll stick to Ahi Sushi from now on.

Went as a party of four, on a Saturday evening with reservations. Upstairs was packed, with only an opening or two. Our waitress had the curious behaviour of disappearing into the kitchen for seemingly long periods of time. Combine that with an almost 30 minute wait between appetizers and sushi, and you might sense my displeasure. My rolls came to the table first, then the rolls for the other couple a minute or two later. My wife's sashimi roll came last, almost 5 minutes after mine -- of course, I waited before eating -- and she was disappointed at the small size of the 10-piece roll. While the fish is fresh, and presented nicely, I have eaten enough excellent sushi to know a properly prepared roll's texture and construction; 4 out of 5 rolls were not rolled but were seemingly squeezed to shape...they subsequently fell apart as you attempted to lift them. I can't say "Don't go!", but would recommend bringing your patience and maybe average expectations so as not to be disappointed.

Turned the eye sore of a corner lot at a busy intersection into a nice restaurant! The friendliest staff I think I have ever encountered. From the moment you walked in you were greeted with a warm smile and hello and it didn't end until you left. I have never felt more welcomed in a restaurant than this one. The food and prices were about on par with their local competitors but their staff has set them apart. I will definitely return with friends and family!

Myself and the girls from work order out from here on a weekly basis. Not once has there been a mistake nor have we been disappointed with our food, in fact we have been thrilled. They have several creative rolls and the 50% off menu makes it any easy answer to the lunch question. Crunchy spicy tuna roll is my favorite. We recently turned 3 sushi virgins into addicts. Well done, Ninja.

Venue - somewhere between classy and casual. The place looks a little tacky with all of the neon and lights all over the building, but the inside is really nice and clean. Good for dates, family, and friends. Service - our host and waitress were both very friendly and helpful. Food - I got rainbow, spicy girl, and spicy salmon rolls and my bill came to $15. All rolls are the size of typical spicy salmon or tuna (about 1" in diameter). This is good, but not incredible, sushi in general, but the price makes these rolls taste extra delicious. Don't forget it's BYO!

Was there last night for take out and had order some rolls and sashimi. Rolls: California-good Sweet potato-good Sashimi: Yellowtail-thin but still good Tuna- good but TOO small?!???!?? (Check out my picture) Take out was pretty fast. But as crazy as it sounds, I think the other place that I go to all the time has spoiled me!!

Just go there. Just go. Seriously, go, and order the Flaming Heart Roll, and rejoice. The cocktails are pricy, but the sushi is perfect and affordable. You might find cheaper sushi, but not better for these sorts of prices. The atmosphere is nice, it's always busy (but never so packed you have to wait for a table). Being able to BYOB is great for large parties or cheap date nights. When the small parking lot is the worst complaint, you really can't go wrong.
(5)Bri Q.
Without a doubt my favorite sushi restaurant ever! I find myself at Ninja a few times a month as well as getting take out from there regularly. The prices are ridiculously cheap & the sushi is ridiculously delicious and fresh, it really does not get much better than that. I've got to say that the presentation isn't as elaborate as other places I've gone to, but when it comes to over all quality, other places don't even hold a light to Ninja. Rolls I Recommend: Star Roll Hawaiian Roll Spicy Girl Roll
(5)Kristen B.
This sushi place is totally adequate and definitely hit the spot while I was visiting Feasterville. My husband and I were a bit taken aback at the half-off prices. We assumed they were happy hour prices but apparently it's all the time?! I think places that do this are a bit strange. We ordered miso soup, edamame, and 3 sushi rolls. We couldn't finish it all. The edamame was a bit overcooked and the rolls were just ok -- nothing to write home about. I would try another sushi place in the area before returning to this one.
(3)Sari G.
Giving Kyoto a run for their money. Like this place a lot. Stunning chandelier over the steps between the first and second floors. Fun lights but unfortunately the added these cheesy faux roses which now make the place look super tacky. Other than decor, it's a gem. The wait staff was super nice. Rolls are cheap and half price. Some of the vegetarian rolls are as cheap as $2.00! I didn't want rice and asked if they could just make it with seaweed. They couldn't for the peanut avocado rolls so they suggested I order hand rolls which they custom made for me. They were great. Crispy and fresh. But for some reason they cost double what the rolls would. Not sure why. They look like less work than sushi rolls and have less ingredients. Kinda weird. This place is a good option when in the NE. BYOB a and cheap.

This place has a nice and friendly staff and atmosphere. Gorgeous chandelier when you get to the top steps. The location is great, in the heart of northeast philadelphia, and nice off street parking. Ninja is a nice local easy place to eat out.

This is another half-off sushi joint that isn't bad, but isn't particularly good. The space is dark with a fun, young vibe. The service is good, with attentive waitstaff, and a hostess who seats you quickly. In terms of sushi, the fish is fresh, and the combination rolls are interesting, but the sushi rice is not good. Sushi rice is something that seems to fail at most establishments in the area (still looking for a place that makes good sushi rice). The "Japanese soda" is just Ramune, and it would be better if they labeled it as such. I guessed it was probably that, but just in case it was something different, I ordered it. How silly to not list it as what it is! This is not a place to go out of your way for, however if someone wants to go, it's not bad.

What they spent to get the two stories fixed up would better go towards better trained cooks.

OK! So we've been coming here at least monthly since it opened - it's actually one of my favorite local sushi spots now. Just went again tonight and wanted to post an update since the first time coming here. The sushi is hands down on spot. It's fresh, nicely sized, and really well made. My favorites right now would be the Japan One and Flaming Heart rolls. However, every roll I've had to this point has been tasty. The staff are super friendly and helpful, just like the opening week. Really nice people. My only suggestion that I noticed lately is that the hibachi dishes have been slacking a little. The past couple times we've either had our dinners drenched in too much teriyaki or overcooked meats. But this is still my fav sushi spot nonetheless and still going to come back monthly :)

Grand Opening! Third half-price sushi/hibachi place to open in the area within a couple years. This place looks the nicest tho. Let's see how the food is... =} ...The food was amazing. My friend got five sushi rolls and they were all great. I got sashimi and the fish was like butter it melted in your mouth. This will be my go-to sushi spot from now on.
(5)Mathew M.
Nice decor and atmosphere. Lots of servers and attendants made the service prompt. The sushi chefs are creative with their designs on the plates. Had a couple of regular rolls which were a bit plain but the sashimi and the sashimi roll were great and melted in your mouth! Mmmm

I call this place douchey sushi, mostly for its outrageous decor and egotistic crowd. First the good; service is prompt and warm, meals come out in a reasonable amount of time. Plus this is now probably the cheapest Japanese joint in the area (8 bucks for a chicken hibachi platter ain't bad). Their sushi is decent, but others in the area have superior versions of the rolls I got. (One of my rolls had soggy, chewy seaweed which is the number one biggest sushi no-no for me). Plus the clientele on a Saturday was grating, there's nothing humble about this place, which is a trait I find endearing in food establishments. But to each their own. Not bad, just mediocre in the end.

VERY underrated spot in bucks. Great food with even better prices. I love the atmosphere. The service is wonderful. Overall a great time.

BEST HIBACHI PLACE TO OPEN IN THE PAST 5 YEARS! My friend and I always go during the day time (Around 4pm-6pm) on any given day. The service, food, decor, and ambiance are impeccable. I am a stickler for customer service and never have I been willing to over tip so often. It is highly appreciated. We usually order Crispy Spicy Salmon Roll and Crispy Spicy California Roll. (Highly Recommend). Also the Shrimp Hibachi, and the Chicken and Steak Hibachi are worth ordering. The rice is cooked very well. I've been to about 11 Hibachi places from Langhorne's A1 Japanese Steakhouse and Arirangs all the way down to To-Kai and Ninja, and as far down as Hibachi Japanese Steak House on Penns Landing. Ninja is by far the best for all around service, experience and food.

Cute atmosphere, good sushi. A lot of Russians in this place so just a fair warning... Also they seem overstaffed. There were lots of waiters just standing around and seemingly confused, they were also trying to get us to leave fairly quickly. Not sure if it's just because we went when they first opened, but hopefully they've improved and gotten themselves together! It's not bad, but not the best. I might come back but not dying to.

It took some effort to convince my husband to try this place, given its odd location and name. But as soon as he walked in, his skepticism quickly faded. The decor is very nice and modern, and the people were very friendly. We spent a fair amount of time trying to decide what to eat, as they have the longest list of specialty rolls we've ever seen -- and almost all of them looked good! They were very creative. We made our selections (spicy crunchy tuna, spicy crunchy salmon, lobster dynamite and black angel) and waited to see if this place would be any good. We are definitely sushi snobs, so it could have gone either way. After finishing some wine (it's BYOB), the waiter brought a large plate of very nicely presented rolls to our table. We dug in and were shocked that all 4 of them were great! The fish was fresh, the flavors unique but delicious, and the presentation and quantities did not disappoint. We will definitely be coming back, especially at the 50%-off prices, as our bill for 4 specialty rolls was the best we've seen. Our recommendation is to get past the odd location and name, maybe even the crazy orange color of the building, and try it. You won't be disappointed.
(5)Charly M.
Ordered their cooked salmon tempura roll, which was amazing and the best I've ever had. I also ordered the chicken Pad Thai just to see if it was better than what I have eaten before. The chicken Pad Thai was pretty good, but just fell a little short compared to what I've had in the past. I also think the prices are very reasonable for their huge portions. I will definitely recommend this place and surely come back!
(5)Ellie T.
This restaurant was DELICIOUS!!!!! The tuna pizza is so good. I highly recommend the Ninja Sashimi roll. My mom loved the teriyaki shrimp! We will definitely be coming back!!!
(5)Rainy R.
Inside of the building is much nicer than the outside. Bento box dinners are great. Tempura shrimp is light and crisp. It's made perfectly. Try their hot tea. We asked about the very subtle, grainy flavor in the tea that enhanced the flavor and they told us it's rice added to enhance. It really has a great taste. Wouldn't want to come on a crowded night, but it really is a very cool place to eat at during slower hours. It's a great place for a date night.
(4)Vic M.
Great place, great service, great sushi. No complaints here. Nice to find a sushi place this good, close to home.
(5)Tina L.
Tried this place on Friday and loved it! Food was excellent, service was great, and the atmosphere is so nice. We will definitely come back for sushi!
(4)Tori B.
I went to Ninja yesterday to try them since my mom wanted to go there. Now, being sushiholic I am, I'm always up with going to a new sushi place. So my mom and I arrived there and was I surprised!!! When I saw the decor outside I was like 'oh, this place is not going to be like Akira or Sakura where they have more Japanese styled furniture' but do not be deceived, the inside is amazing!!! Very modern. Our waitress, Winnie, was amazing, the staff was super friendly! Now onto the food! I ordered a salmon skin salad, a Russian Dream Sashmi roll, a scallop tempura roll, and fried cheesecake(which I thought my mom and I could try) while my mom got the Avocado Blossom, a scallop tempura roll, and two other rolls which I can't remember the names of. My salad was amazing and I got to try my mom'a salad as well. I swear, that Avocado Blossom was heaven on Earth. Our rolls were amazing, perfect size. The fried cheesecake was delicious. Oh! And they had melon Ramune soda!!!! I will definitely come back here. Hopefully as my to go place instead of Sakura!

I used to hate sushi but one day one of my friends invited me here and thanks to the taste ,freshness of their food I changed my mind , now I can't stop eating sushi... Good service, nice place and atmosphere
(5)Steve B.
I like the ambiance. The food is great and the prices very reasonable. Make sure you try the sweet potato roll!
(5)Annarosa B.
I went here yesterday to celebrate my birthday with my friends. Worst service I have ever experienced! Waited 30 minutes for someone to even come up to the table and ask what we would like to drink. The restaurant was not busy at all then once we order we had to wait another 45 minutes for our rolls and food. Not once did they apologize for the wait and not once did one of the waiters come up and ask if everything is okay. I will never go here again! Waste of my money!
(1)Kev G.
Eh not feeling it. Came based on how many reviews they have. Got take out btw. Place has no parking whatsoever the inside is huge. 2 floors. Their menus is like a book! They dont have as much sushi as one expects. I thought they'd have a ton more like places in Bensalem do. It was ok not great. The chicken sticks were some of the best I've ever had. Very smokey and tasty. Also got the hibachi chicken and steak. Was ext land and tasteless way too many veggies with literally 3 carrots. The sushi wasn't really that good either. A little disappointing based on the killer lighting on the outside and the good reviews. Moving on though. Thanks Anyway.
(2)Chris S.
Great atmosphere, very good service and very good sushi at a great price. Not sure what more you could ask for. I highly recommend the lobster dynamite, it's probably the best that I have ever had.
(5)Joffy J.
The sushi here is great and the decor inside is amazing. The California roll and all the tempura rolls especially the chicken and shrimp tempura are very good.
(5)Jenny K.
If you're someone that wants quantity over quality then this is the place. If you're on a budget this is a great place for a date. I got a hibachi dinner and sushi for under 20 bucks. You cant get there anywhere else. The steak was a little bit chewy but the hibachi rice was on point. I was a little sketched out by the sushi but hey don't ever be a brat about 6 bucks sushi yanno? I would come back here if I'm ever running low on cash and want a smorgasboard of food
(2)Robert S.
This is another addition to ever growing "50% off sushi and hibachi" restaurants that seem to be popping up everywhere lately, but better. Ninja has a really cool and hip atmosphere and the food was equally good. The sushi was good as well as the hibachi meal I ordered. The restaurant was also very clean and well kept. The only issue we had was with our credit cards. It took the waitress about 5 minutes just to bring our cards back to us and one of our friends for charged the wrong amount. I wouldn't put that against the place though. A lot of these "half off" places look and taste the same but I definitely put Ninja above the rest. *great places for groups!
(5)Andrea M.
The environment is awesome I really love the upstairs it gives in a city feel. The service was excellent and friendly. I liked the menus, not only for what they had to offer but they were designed very well. I started off with something I've never had before, a seaweed salad. It was amazing!! The sushi was of high quality and inexpensive. I am excited to go there again.
(5)Them N.
One of the best places that has 50% of sushi in phila food and service is great. Been here couple of times now and was satisfied every time
(4)Alex G.
The waitress kept skipping over people when taking their orders. Some people got their entrees before others had their order taken. My dad has his order taken after the second group of people got their entrees. Just weird. The food was underwhelming also. Had the rubber chicken pad Thai. Bad food, bad service. Not coming back.
(2)Mike Z.
Came here for a meeting of 5 guys on a slow night. We brought someone and ordered massive amount of sushi. For the very generous price and the amount of sushi that we received, I really liked this place. Its 2 floors and its a pretty good atmosphere. I dont know what a busy dinner night is like here but for less than $20/person you can have a feast.
(4)Von M.
If we can't have a Vic's in our side of town, then Ninja will do. Quite well, I might add. Appearance: I Iwas startled by the richness of the interior, which completely belies the building's forgettable exterior and location. The walls are slate-covered everywhere you look. The take-away waiting area is flanked by two comfy, leather-covered banquettes. And the first floor dining room is dimly lit--romantic even--and appointed with leather banquettes and leather-clad dining chairs. I, however, could live without the Christmas lights that are hung here and there. They distract from the "bones" of the space. Food: The sushi (all we've ordered to date) has been consistently terrific. The Mister's fav rolls include the yellow-tail scallion, shrimp tempura, white tuna and salmon avocado. Mine include the Philly (smoked salmon and avocado (cream cheese deleted)). We are not fans of any of the spicy rolls because the fish is ground up and mixed with the spicy sauce (it's an idiosyncratic textural issue rather than a freshness or flavor problem). Service: Service has been prompt and efficient. On a couple of occasions, we have placed in person our take-away sushi order, and in both instances, our order was ready to go in less than 15 minutes. Thanks to our friend Billy for pointing us in Ninja's direction.
(4)Elaine M.
WHAT A STRANGE PLACE! I am kind of embarrassed that I fell for the 50% off sushi sign hanging outside of Ninja Sushi. I should have known better, judging by all of the tacky neon signs that something about this establishment would be off. Everything on the menu has an extremely inflated price crossed out, and the half-price option shown. They also have prices for 5-piece and 10-piece sushi rolls, which the 50% off prices do not correlate. Christina V. and I noticed a lot of the same roll names that we have seen at To-Kai and Makiman. We were skeptical that some of these may be knock-offs and we were right! We ordered three rolls to start, the Hot Girl Roll, Romantic Roll and Russian Dream Sashimi Roll. The server must not have heard us because they only brought out two of the three. We had to remind them to bring out the Hot Girl Roll and to be honest, we probably shouldn't have because it was nothing to write home about. The Russian Dream and Romantic Rolls were pretty good, but nothing mind blowing. We should have stopped while we were ahead but we were still hungry after those three rolls so we decided to order the Lobster Dynamite Roll because that is Christina's favorite at To-Kai. Well, Ninja Sushi did not copy the "recipe" correctly, because this Lobster Dynamite was so bad that we each had one bite and didn't want anymore. We asked to send it back because we did not like it and our server got a manager whom gave us an attitude and told us that the chef's made it properly and that everything was fresh. We again, told her we did not like it and she stormed off. They took it off he bill in the end, but we were still annoyed by the poor customer service that we received. We both decided we won't be returning to Ninja Sushi. Maybe they should have put a little more energy into their menu rather than their obnoxious ninja themed decor and excessive accent lighting.
(2)Kristy Y.
Fresh, delicious, great quality sushi. And their lunch special prices are awesome. Wish it was a bit closer to me but it is worth the drive.
(5)Jessica S.
I've been here numerous times! Every time the sushi is fresh and tasty! We love the Byob feature. Who doesn't like 50% off sushi either! We will keep coming back!!
(4)Kat M.
I never leave any opinion but this one deserves to be heard! Sashimi salad and tuna calamari salad are loaded with letter and charged at equally 15$ each.. Four piece of sashimi on a sashimi salad is a disgrace. Calamari in calamari salad has more bread on it then a calamari itself. Mango summer roll is topped what tastes like a purred baby food. We left hungry, overcharged, loaded on letters and disappointed second time around! Good luck!
(1)Syvan T.
The prices are extremely reasonable here, the decor is pretty nice, the food is kind of inconsistent. My boyfriend and I came for lunch and I got a chicken hibachi lunch special. It was delicious! So we came back for dinner with friends and I got the same thing and it was good but not the same. I came back the following week with my dad and it was slightly worse. I really liked it the first time and the sushi is good so I hope this isn't a trend.
(3)SAMIRA G.
I've been there at least 20 times now since the very first day it opened. Amazing sushi selection, very fresh, and super friendly staff!
(5)Surge Y.
Amazing place, love the food and the staff is amazing also. 5 stars and it is very beautiful and modern. I go there all the time.
(5)Giao P.
Best sushi place with the best affordable price ever! Not to mention the service is really great!!
(5)Danish M.
Better than their competition Kyoto. Sushi is always fresh. The service is good. Overall it's s great place to have sushi at a great price!
(5)Jennifer S.
I order take out from here quite a lot, they have never messed up my order and always ready when I'm there for pick up after they let me know when to come. The chicken teriyaki and fried rice excellent, but the steak gets a little chewy so I recommend eating steak there. Great place dine in or take out.
(4)Elliot P.
I thought this place was alright. I came in with the wife and the mother in law recently during the week for dinner. We enter and MIL doesn't have an easy time up stairs, so I ask if we can sit on the first floor, and apparently we can't. So we scale the 25 stairs or so up the stairs - which is no problem for an able bodied person. If you or someone you are dining with has a problem with stairs - be warned. We go upstairs and it is decorated very elegantly. It is surprising because it is much nicer than the exterior or even the first floor had led me to believe. We ordered a party platter for the three of us and an additional special roll and it was all pretty good. Most of the rolls did not have fresh fish, so it was tough to judge the quality of it. From what we did have, the tuna and salmon seemed OK, and the albacore was good. The cooked fish and seafood was very good, particularly the soft shell crab. They did put lettuce in a couple of the rolls, which I strongly dislike as I see it as cheap filler that does nothing to enhance the experience. So if you're like me and detest lettuce in sushi, make sure to order rolls without it and to the follow up with a question. Did not try their other food, so can't comment on that. The service was actually very good. They do a good job of using a main waiter for each table and then they have a busser type of person that helps out. It's a very good system and effective for creating a pleasant dining experience. The prices were very reasonable although do not be misled by their large 3.99 lunch special sign outside. I was surprised that they offered such a deal. While I visited, I was there for dinner, but curious about the lunch special deal as it seemed incredible. The lunch special is vegetable fried rice. That's not a lunch, that's a side. They had other lunch specials that were more than 3.99 and also more than a side dish. I would not be opposed to coming back here. They had a bunch of special rolls that looked very interesting that I did not try. However, with so many sushi-japanese restaurants in the area that have already won my heart and are wheelchair accessible, I doubt I'll be back anytime soon.
(3)Cristina Z.
One of my favorite sushi places I go to. I go here at least once a month. Its BYOB!! Their deals are amazing and you dont have to spent more than $20 for two people with the 2 for $20 deal. You can get soup, an appetizer and two dishes (or 6 rolls). Highly recommend this place
(5)Katya P.
The decor is great and tastefully done. But the place is always packed. The food quality is no better or worse than any other sushi place I have been to. It's BYOB so beware of the many Russians who come to get drunk.
(3)Joey R.
WOW! This place will definitely be the next big sushi place among younger and older crowds. The environment is inviting, the sushi is fresh, the specialty rolls are unique, and the staff was engaging and receptive to customer needs. We sampled 16 different rolls and each was delectable. You also can't beat the prices; everything was a great deal. Look out Kyoto--this place has you beat.
(5)Polar B.
My favorite sushi place as of yet! Been here twice now after the gym, and the place is VERY clean, fast service and cheap prices. For those who enjoy sushi I highly recommend eating here. The gf gets the Pad Thai which comes in a huge bowl (where she eats the other half the next day). This kicks butt on Sakura / Akira. Once you go to Ninja, you won't go back to those.
(5)steve e.
Because the rolls are fair and some are like a "salad" or sea leg crap -still the best deal way under $50:clean/sharp/tasTy and the service got way faster after the spring
(3)Nancy I.
Decor is nice and all but the food is not that great. I'm not a sushi person so we only ordered their entries. I had the pineapple shrimp fried rice and my boyfriend had the steak and scallop hibachi. My fried rice was not delectable at all. The only saving factor were the pineapples, otherwise I couldn't eat the rice by itself. The scallops from the hibachi had a strong after-taste and were not savory. The steak was dry, despite the hibachi sauce and the fact he asked for medium rare. I'll stick to Ahi Sushi from now on.
(2)Ron B.
Went as a party of four, on a Saturday evening with reservations. Upstairs was packed, with only an opening or two. Our waitress had the curious behaviour of disappearing into the kitchen for seemingly long periods of time. Combine that with an almost 30 minute wait between appetizers and sushi, and you might sense my displeasure. My rolls came to the table first, then the rolls for the other couple a minute or two later. My wife's sashimi roll came last, almost 5 minutes after mine -- of course, I waited before eating -- and she was disappointed at the small size of the 10-piece roll. While the fish is fresh, and presented nicely, I have eaten enough excellent sushi to know a properly prepared roll's texture and construction; 4 out of 5 rolls were not rolled but were seemingly squeezed to shape...they subsequently fell apart as you attempted to lift them. I can't say "Don't go!", but would recommend bringing your patience and maybe average expectations so as not to be disappointed.
(3)Priya M.
Prompt service! Nice decor! Pretty good sushi rolls and sashimi! Sweet prices! Tried their all sushi roll meaning no rice in the roll! Finally a true low carb option! Will def go back!
(4)Josh S.
Place is great. You would think the half off sacrifices quality but it doesn't. Some of the best sushi around. The specialty rolls are amazing! Came here twice this weekend.
(5)Sonja S.
THE best sushi in the northeast. Fresh and delicious. The atmosphere is pretty and it's very clean. Worth a visit!
(5)Tom C.
Turned the eye sore of a corner lot at a busy intersection into a nice restaurant! The friendliest staff I think I have ever encountered. From the moment you walked in you were greeted with a warm smile and hello and it didn't end until you left. I have never felt more welcomed in a restaurant than this one. The food and prices were about on par with their local competitors but their staff has set them apart. I will definitely return with friends and family!
(4)Marie S.
Absolutely delicious, fresh and creative rolls. Awesome atmosphere You won't go anywhere else after being here, trust me!
(5)Shawnne H.
Myself and the girls from work order out from here on a weekly basis. Not once has there been a mistake nor have we been disappointed with our food, in fact we have been thrilled. They have several creative rolls and the 50% off menu makes it any easy answer to the lunch question. Crunchy spicy tuna roll is my favorite. We recently turned 3 sushi virgins into addicts. Well done, Ninja.
(4)Andrew J.
Best half priced sushi around. Decor is great rolls are delicious. Waiting times are not long. Service is great. I would recommend anyone to go here if they are looking for great half off sushi.
(5)Megan K.
Good place to go for cheap sushi. Inconvenient because they do not deliver and it's not a good place to take the kids. What's the point of packing the kids up just to go pick up some sushi? Good 50% off deals though.
(4)Karla L.
This place is awesome. Good food, great prices, and it's really nice inside. Perfect byob sushi joint hands down !
(5)Jocelyn L.
Love love ninja!! The moment you walk In till the time you leave, everyone is so attentive, welcoming and the sushi and sashimi are yummy!!!
(5)Angela H.
Venue - somewhere between classy and casual. The place looks a little tacky with all of the neon and lights all over the building, but the inside is really nice and clean. Good for dates, family, and friends. Service - our host and waitress were both very friendly and helpful. Food - I got rainbow, spicy girl, and spicy salmon rolls and my bill came to $15. All rolls are the size of typical spicy salmon or tuna (about 1" in diameter). This is good, but not incredible, sushi in general, but the price makes these rolls taste extra delicious. Don't forget it's BYO!
(5)Liz N.
Was there last night for take out and had order some rolls and sashimi. Rolls: California-good Sweet potato-good Sashimi: Yellowtail-thin but still good Tuna- good but TOO small?!???!?? (Check out my picture) Take out was pretty fast. But as crazy as it sounds, I think the other place that I go to all the time has spoiled me!!
