sushi ninja

this is one of my fav places to eat! the food is great! but what keeps me going back is the service. they really make you feel at home and go out of their way to treat you as if you are someone important!

just had the emperor special and it was delicious. great selection of food and so filling!!
staff were friendly and very helpful. strongly recommend trying this fantastic restaurant.

i had the worst experience. we were told to sit and wait to be seated to a table for 5 mins but took 20 mins. and yes, there were tables available. if we were told to wait for 20mins we would have gone somewhere else. then we finally got to order but the food had not come out for 40mins. we asked the manager and he says that we didn’t book so they are to serve the booking tables’ food first. what? and not one apology from them. he only says that he can’t do anything about it. maybe good food, but bad and the worst attitude. especially being a manager of a restaurant myself.

an awesome find in np!
fully recommend it to anyone who likes japanese.  have been here multiple times on my trips to np.... i recommend going with a few friends (or a group) so that you can try more of the dishes - and book one of the booths. 

the staff were great and the atmosphere is always positive.

the set menu is an absolute deal and the quality of the food was outstanding also really like the push button service

came to this place again after 4 years. not much changing，but the price. however the dragon roll finally convinced me that it was worth it. not a place if you are hungry，this is a fine dinning restaurant.

good food- the karaage chicken was well seasoned and the spicy karaage had just the right amount of spice. nice touch of seaweed on the rice. serving sizes good to share. ambience is very japanese style, just a tad too dark for my taste especially with the bright light outside. overall, great dining experience for our first time in new plymouth.

juicy prawn with cream mayo makes for a tasty bit of japanese cuisine in a comfortable environment, the restaurant is beautiful and vibrant. a genuine and fun experience in taranaki.

omg best experience and food ever. we stopped here on saturday went back on sunday and now im sad that we dont have a sushi ninja in hamilton. if you are visiting new plymouth this place is 100 percent worth checking out. the food was fresh and delicious the chicken bomb was my favourite plate but everything was tasty. the staff were happy and helpful. i would go early if you dont want to wait for a table as it can be quite busy. i hope this restaurant branches out to hamilton someday soon!

this is the best japanese restaurant i have been to... hands down!! prices are very reasonable, emservice is quick and friendly, beautiful environment and the foodnis incredibly scrumptious. the kids (miss 4 and master 5) loved it too). you simply cant be in new plymouth and not stop here. please franchise to auckland!

best sushi iv ever had. me and my wife both loved it and can't wait to go back. would recommend a visit. they did forget some of our order.

not as same as traditional japanese restaurant. it has nice quality ingredients, but total wasted during cooking. i even found fish bone in sashimi (salmon). slow speed, took us more then half an hour to wait for the entry. however, the guy served us are nice, and explained they were short of chefs. spend 80 dollars in total, yet we were still hungry. :(

one of the worst japanese meals i've ever eaten, terrible teriyaki chicken, worst value for money. got four thin slices of chicken on a heap of rice. you couldn't pay me to go back!

every time i go to sushi ninja it is an amazing experience! my favorites are the supreme chicken roll, the tuna sashimi and karage chicken. the staff is lovely- was served by a lovely young waiter named ryuki. food was amazing and left very satisfied! will continue to return on my visits to new plymouth!

when we arrived the closed sign was still swinging on the door, two minutes past 9.
yes we were a little late as we found ourselves nose deep in cheap icy cocktails a few doors down.
after struggling a little with which door was the main entrance, the foh said that we could quickly slide in a cheeky order.
the fit out is like any other japanese sake bar in nz. kimono and sumo and sake.
the staff were all smiles and konnichiwa and very prompt.
we order takoyaki, soft shell crab roll, sashimi (salmon, tuna, kingfish) and a hot pot of beef in beef broth.
the fish was fresh clean and the deep fried soft shell crab in the sushi was still warm and crunchy. taki-yaki was as it is in 90% of all other occasions i've eaten the dish and the thin strips of beef cooked in a beef broth were also very morish, if not a little salty.
a bottle of dry cedar casked sake to wash it all down was perfect and the plum wine was a fitting night cap.
we were the last in and last out,staff cleaning and shutting down for the night around us but never making us feel hurried.
foods good. staff are good and venue is 👍. it's a fun place. would be great for all ages and suits all group sizes.
