Ninja Sushi Hibachi

One of my favorite sushi/​hibachi places in northeast Philly. It’s BYOB, who doesn’t love gnat?! The food is delicious and always fresh. I am in love with their pineapple shrimp fried rice.

I was in the area, and found myself with a serious craving for some sushi. I ordered the crispy salmon roll, spider roll, and California roll. Everything was delicious. I especially appreciated that the texture of the rice was perfect for me — not gummy or too moist/​wet. I also ordered the chicken and vegetable tempura for an appetizer. It was also good. The dipping sauce that came with the tempura was just ok. I’ve had better. I also checked in, and got a free spring roll. I left completely stuffed. The service left something to be desired. The wait staff were polite, but didn’t seem to check on you to see if you needed anything. Ever. Despite the lackluster service, I will return for the tasty food.

Ok so I love this place … This is the best sushi place in NE Philadelphia if you want to get sushi closer then center city. Great prices… Amazing sushi and very clean compare to other sushi places here.

We used to be obsessed with this place when it first opened. Awesome food and the price is definitely right especially in the sushi world. Honestly, we haven’t frequented there lately and now I’m questioning myself why. Next time I get a craving though, this will be my go to. The staff is always friendly, courteous and professional. I definitely recommend this place!

I LOVE THIS PLACE! The atmosphere. The service. The price. THE FOOD! How is it possible to cover all bases? I love the 2 for $ 20. You chose between soup or salad. Chose an appetizer, then 2 entrees. You can even get 3 sushi rolls as an entrée. And, I’m not even kidding, I teared up the food was so good. From the soup (what I chose) to the steak and chicken hibachi, to the large selection of sushi rolls. AND, it was all for under $ 40! For 2 people! What the??? Listen, just go there. That’s all I have to say.

Been going to ninja since their grand opening. They have amazing sushi and hibachi. It’s always fresh food. The staff is very friendly and always so welcoming. Our favorite sushi rolls are black angel and crispy spicy salmon roll. Also recommend the shrimp and chicken hibachi. Also they have a GREAT 2 for $ 20 deal! Comes with a lot of food! We come here ALOT! 5 stars!!!

I was a bit apprehensive at the 2 for $ 20 sign they had advertised. I mean, what caliber of food were we going to receive that included an appetizer, salads, and 6 rolls… for $ 20? Well, granted… happen to stop by there coming back from King of Prussia, starving, and on the Saturday before Valentines Day. It seemed like every young teenybopper borrowed $ 25 from their parents to take their significant other on a date. Crowded. They definitely need to improve their system for getting their customers in and out. Finally make it upstairs and sat for more than 10 minutes without being greeted. (Again, customer flow system in need of revamp) Went to ask whom I presumed to be someone in charge with a walkie-​talkie and he promptly came over, was very apologetic. Comped up two drinks (wine) and had someone sent right over. I am so big on customer service, and this returned my smile.
Food came out. Salad was typical with ginger dressing. My cousin checked in and we had free spring roll. Fresh and hot! Then the sushi arrived. The rolls that they had on the menu were your pretty much traditional safe goto rolls. Taste was acceptable. Could not help but to look to the tables to the left and right of us, who definitely elected to not go with the 2 for $ 20. Their rolls looked so appetizing!
Would definitely come back and try other rolls again if in the area. Due to distance (45 minutes from home) would not go out of my way to return.
It is BYO, and people definitely bought and brought a little bit of everything. This party next to us had a 24 pack of beer. LOL. This might be why the wait time is so hard to control.

Often come here for sushi with friends, I like the out of control roll and spider roll. Always friendly service.

Ninja offers cheap prices including their 2 for $ 20 deal featuring an appetizer and two entrees for $ 20. The staff is also friendly and attentive, but not very coordinated. We were asked multiple times what beverage we wanted and informed different waitresses/​waiters that we had already been taken care of. I think they definitely need to work on coordinating tables.
The Asian food is definitely more accommodating to American palettes because it lacks authenticity. The pad thai was not made with the typical type of noodles and a bit sticky and unsatisfying in taste and texture. I also got the steak hibachi. The best part of that dish was the vegetables. The steak was firmer than I asked for and the rice was saturated in sauce. The restaurant is run by many Chinese workers and their lack of knowledge for the other Asian cuisines they serve is evident.
If you are not too picky about Asian food and want a good deal, Ninja is a good suggestion for you. The décor and atmosphere is definitely a selling point about the restaurant. However, if you are a little more snobby about Asian cuisine like me, this will definitely not be a satisfying experience.

I absolutely love this place. Amazing sushi for incredible prices. I’ve never had a sushi roll here that I didn’t love. I’ve dined in and orders pick-​up. Easy process, friendly staff.
I ordered the chicken pad Thai once and was under-​impressed. And I would stay away from ordering the fried calamari for take out. It’s great in house, but by the time I picked it up, it lost its crunchiness.
My boyfriend loves the steak and shrimp hibachi.

As a Sushi carnosaurus rex, I can honestly say that this place is among my new favorites. The food is exceptional, the service is top shelf and attentive, and the sushi chefs are as professional as it gets.
The décor is beautiful and upscale, although it has a nice casual flare. It even offers flat screens TV’s with news and football in certain areas.
My wife and I ordered 5 sushi rolls. Each roll included different ingredients, and had its own unique presentation. The flavor was phenomenal and was not overpowered or lost in excess rice.
This place is must of your looking for ASIAN cuisine. So good we may come back, just to watch the football games.

I just love everything about this restaurant. I come here alot for lunch with friends during the work day. The hibachi is great and the prices are on point for lunch. It comes with miso soup and a salad to start. You can have a great lunch out for about $ 10. The décor in here is real funky and modern as well. I love the hanging roses all over the ceiling. Go here. Have lunch :)

I found myself in the area and have been craving hibachi for months now. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that they had a 2 for $ 20 special. Now I was dining alone after some retail therapy but I asked my waitress if I could partake of that special if it was only me. She was very accommodating and attentive. Y order was prompting taken with minimal wait for each course. You get an appetizer to share, each patron gets a full sized entrée and choice of either soup or salad. I ordered the Giza as my appetizer, told her to just bring me one salad as I had no desire to eat two (not much of a miso soup gal unfortunately). The salad was fresh and unlike other places I’ve been to, this salad contained more than mere lettuce. I had a grape tomato or two, couple slices of cucumber with an abundant amount of dressing. The gyoza came out next. They were as you’d expect… About average. Then the two entrees came out. #1 was the chicken and steak hibachi meal. This comes with veggies and fried rice. It was mouth watering scrumptious and absolutely on point. My choice for entrée #2 was a three roll special. Not being much of a seafood lover, I picked: sweet potato roll, chicken tempura and spicy tuna. The first twin were quite good. I was pleasantly surprised that they even had a chicken roll as that is rare among a lot of sushi places. The tuna roll was just ok, not enough of the spicy mayo I guess. All in all, between the pricing and the number of choices I will definitely be visiting this place.
Ps be sure to check out their ice cream truffles. The pictures made them look enticing, but even with a doggie bag worth of leftovers I just didn’t have enough space during my first visit. I’ll be sure to try them the next time around.

Ninja is a nice little spot I’ve driven past this place many times, we stopped here in beginning of March and I have to say it’s a nice little up and coming spot, they’re in such a good area because there are no other sushi places around the immediate area.
The atmosphere is really nice and romantic, my girlfriend and I sat upstairs, this was the first time we were ever here and we really enjoyed it. The service was a tad slow where we first walked in, but of course we’re patient so we didn’t have any complaints. We shared an appetizer which was the Pepper Tuna Tataki, we really enjoyed this it was a lot different than some Tuna Tatakis we’ve had before. I believe that they’re BYOB so make sure to bring a bottle of wine and enjoy some really good sushi. After we finished with the appetizer we both got a variety of different rolls, we each got a specialty roll which was the Hawaiian Roll, this is a must try if you like mango and shrimp tempura. I added a California roll and Shrimp Tempura roll with the specialty roll and I have to say they were great! I really will come back to this place and remember my bottle of wine to enjoy with dinner! Way to go Ninja A+ in my book.

Excelente servicio y un ambiente muy agradable la comida deliciosa.
En el piso superior se siente un ambiente moderno y con una decoración elaborada.

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 down the street a run for their money. We like this place a lot! A healthy, needed option for the area.
Rolls are cheap and half price. Some of the vegetarian rolls are as cheap as $ 2.00! The specially tools how we are standard price.
Stunning chandelier over the steps between the first and second floors. Fun lights, but unfortunately they added these cheesy faux roses which now make the place look super tacky. I just want to reach up and take them down. Other than décor is fairly nice.
I don’t always want rice on my rolls so I get the hand rolls which are beautiful and delicate. The AAC is a favorite. Asparagus, Avocado, Cucumber. They are great and are my new go to here as other places won’t alway make them for me. Light, crispy and fresh!
The service is hit or miss. We’ve had both extremes so that need some touching up.
This place is a good option for both large parties or small when in the NE.
Would I he’d up here just from the city for this place? No, but put it in your list when in the area. Maybe even grab takeout to go back into the city as you’ll never see prices like this there!
They cater too! I mean, who wouldn’t love a sushi filled party! Something different!
BYOB and cheap.
**dont forget your free edamame with check in!

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.
