Bad times – As an restaurateur with over 30 years in the business I was shocked by my recent experience at Ninja New Orleans. I have eaten here in the past and had an over all good experience. Today I brought some family members to Ninja for a nice dinner and I was totally embarrassed. We had 2 hour of excuses and untimely service for meals coming out piece meal 1 or 2 at a time till the last meal arrived an hour & a half later & then was asked if we would like a doggie bag while the last meal was still being eaten. After di... read more
Best sushi ever! – I've lived in New Orleans for about 5 months now and I've lived in Baton rouge prior to that my whole life. I've been to every sushi restaurant in BR and Ninja doesn't compare to any of them. Ninja's sushi is the most fresh and well prepared sushi I've ever had. A lot of times I feel like I've been served sushi that has been made 2 hours prior to my ordering but at Ninja you know everything is made (quite neatly) after you order. I don't eat raw sushi so for the cooked stuff I recommend the BBQ Yellowtail ... read more
Best Sushi I have ever had!!! – I used to work at Ninja along time ago, and this is where I was introduced to sushi. They make everything in house (sauces etc.). Momo (the owner), is very strict about the quality of her food, and would often get on me if the rice was not made correctly (you wouldn't think it was that important, but trust me...it is). I heard her once say that she would rather not serve tuna (the most popular sushi) then serve fish that wasn't up to par, and that was on a Friday night! I have had American sty... read more
GregYoungster is Crazy – I dont know what ninja you went to but your view is horribly screwed up. If you go to any other major city restaurant you can easily pay 100 bucks for just one person and get a lower quantity of food. i just took 3 friends who are from all over the contry, one from houston another from maryland and another from denver and they all said that ninja was the cheapest sushi they had ever seen. They also said it was the best they had ever tasted. Anyways just to let people know, the dark dungenous feel of ... read more
Best Sushi I have EVER had – The sushi at Ninja is amazing! They can do everything from traditional Japanese fare to Japanese/Cajun fusion. One of the most innovative menus I've ever seen. The Wait staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. I definitely recommend sitting at the bar as the service at tables (as in most sushi restaurants) can be slow (when sitting at a table the food comes when EVERYTHING has been made, at the bar each roll comes as it is finished). The sushi chefs are friendly and they definitely know their reg... read more
Ninja rules! – And it's not clear soup, bro. It's miso, which is going to have tofu chunks in it wherever you go. Ninja has the best ingredients and best-executed staples of any Japanese place in town
From Purgatory to Heaven in one short flight of stairs! – When you walk into Ninja, you get a bad, bad feeling. No lighting, strange signs on the walls, cement floor, strange smell. No good. The pompous man behind the bar will watch you like a hawk to make sure you don't try to sneak upstairs. However, when he does escort you out of the hell-hole (with much hemming, hawing, pomp, and circumstance), you get your first glimpse of the upstairs dining area, and you hear an angelic chorus because compared to the entrance, this pl... read more
Best Sushi in town!!! – I have eaten at a lot of sushi restaurants in town and this is by far my Favorite!!! The staff is so friendly, prompt service, great amount of food for the price and the clock is fabulous. Be sure to stay a full hour so that you can see it! Best green ice tea and snowcrab rolls around!
Great sushi, reasonable prices, very friendly. – Wow, I just don't get that gregyoungster review! I've been going here for years, since before the move from Jeanette Street, and Kyoto, Hana, LIttle Tokyo, and Sake Cafe just don't compare for taste or value. I suppose my view of the friendliness is prejudiced due to my long patronage, though we're more monthly rather than weekly customers (well, we're sliding towards twice a month!). They've watched my daughters grow from 2'5" to 5'9", and in the early days post Katrina when ... read more
