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

great all over – They cater for vegetarians here. You get noodles, and vege sushi options and tofu. They also have a great ice-cream dessert and have good carrot cake for a Japanese restaurant.

This active sushi bar turns out beautiful rolls and sashimi for crowds of loyal customers. – The Scene Ninja had to move out of its close quarters to accommodate the crowds that would gather for it's first rate sushi and other Japanese fare. Though things can still get crowded with students, Uptown regulars and young families toting small children, it's worth it. The Food The sushi bar dominates the house and the menu, but meat-eaters will also find a fair amount of traditional grilled teriyaki options, as well as tempura, d... read more
