Ninja Sushi & Dining

I have visited this place a lot!
I am finally writing a review because of our experience the other night.
Rachel, our server was absolutely great! She is friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. The quality of our sushi is top notch every time we visit. Very fresh. That’s «kinda» important when sushi is involved. (sarcasm)
Place is small but very clean. Next time we visit we are going to try the Korean Bar-​b-​Que.
Please give this place a try. You will not be disappointed!!!

Allow me to recommend the Korean BBQ! I have had the sushi, and while it is pretty good… There really isn’t anything to separate it from the other sushi restaurants in town. The BBQ on the other hand is another story. For $ 20 you can have an all you can eat lunch with a wide variety of different cuts of meat! There are better places down south if you want some really good KBBQ, but this will definitley hold your cravings over until you can make that trip!

Arrived at 12:45 for lunch for a to go order by 1:00 made my order and did not leave until 1:35. We watched people come and go. Terrible wait time.

My first time and my it lived up to my brothers hype. The greeting is awesome. Service was great. The food was delicious. I had sashimi, a salmon terayaki combination that was more than filling and can’t forget the sake!
The send off off was cool too.

We went by Ninja last night for an early dinner, our first time. The location is in a little strip mall and it was almost empty. We were pleasantly surprised to find out that happy hour is until 5 and its 20% off everything. We ordered the spicy tempura tuna roll (very good), the Bakersfield roll (best!) and the small spicy tuna (meh) The waitresses were helpful and quick, knowing we were eating and drinking to beat the happy hour deadline! They were so funny! I enjoyed them. I noticed a lot of take out customers, which I think is a great option. If Ninja business is slow for any reason I would assume it’s not a real schmooze atmosphere like say Kan Pai. But the sushi is good. The fancier rolls are better than the smaller rolls. My opinion is it is really dependent on which rolls you order.

A really good local sushi place. We ordered a sushi mix for the whole family. Everyone, including me, enjoyed it. The sushi did take a while to get into our hands but it was worth the wait. Overall a very good sushi place’

These people are awesome. They are always polite and professional. The food is excellent and always fresh. Haven’t had the Korean BBQ yet but that’s coming soon! Try the Mexican roll and Ninja roll, they are great!

Went here for my friends birthday dinner. I was welcomed with this loud «Hi», that almost made me jump. Lol. I was automatically sent to our reserved table and the waitress asked what drinks I want, came back with it after a minute and started asking questions about our party (if we want to split bill or not). I like that their staff were efficient. She was asking questions about our party to be ahead of the game.
For our dinner, we did chose the regular dining and ordered a variety of food for us to share. We ordered their bulgogi, bbq ribs, tempura plate, fried rice (with all meat options), and different rolls. Their plates are good. The bulgogi, bbq ribs and the fried rice are my highly recommended plates. Their rolls were OK, not great, but OK.
The entire time we were there, my friends and I were singing along with the music. They were playing good 80’s and 90’s music here and we were really entertained. One time, the owner (I assumed) was singing with the people that were dining by the sushi bar, it was so funny and entertaining.
My overall experience here is a very good one and I’m definitely coming back and hoping that the owner will consider our suggestion of putting a karaōke machine. :-) (hint! hint!)

I was in a hurry as they took care of me and stuff… Great Sushi and the staff are very helpful on getting me the right food to eat!!! I just wish I would had spend more time at this place as the place looks very inviting and a good place to dine at!!!
Keep working hard in getting to that 5 star!!! I would recommend everyone to try this place out!!!

Like that they have happy hour on sushi rolls from 2−5ish. The shrimp roll (has shrimp on top and inside) was my favorite. Good service. Would like to return to try their BBQ.

My bf and I went in for lunch on a Sunday. The staff was friendly and the place was clean looking. I ordered the shrimp lover tempura roll and it was delicious. My bf ordered the teriyaki beef and when our waitress brought out the food it was chicken. I would come here again just for the sushi.

This review is strictly related to their Korean bbq. I called ahead of time to see if they were able to accommodate my party of 10, to which they said yes. Drinks and side dishes were served in a timely manner. There is a 2 hour limit for the kbbq. When asked what meat we wanted, it would take about 10 – 15 minutes to get the order. If there’s a 2 hour limit, those minutes matter especially since we are cooking it ourselves. That was the only down side to our dinner. Other than that, staff was very friendly. Bulgogi is not your typical style that you may be used to, but my husband and kids still liked it. Brisket and spicy pork belly is awesome!

Best sushi in town! My older children do not eat fish, so they opt for the teriyaki and it’s delicious as well! Always enough for lunch the day after too! They are always family friendly and help me make little servings of rice and avocado for my baby even. We don’t eat any other sushi in Bakersfield!

I was pleasantly surprised when I decided to order the Korean BBQ. I had never experienced grilling my own entrée. Each person can grill what ever meat you are preparing. I was with a friend and we both enjoyed the whole experience. Be sure to go there hungry because you will not be able to finish it. This was an all you can eat deal. I wish I hadn’t eaten breakfast.

We finally decided to try the Korean BBQ. The Korean BBQ part has been open for 5 months according to our waitress. First, who uses Electric Grills!?! We waited for about 15 minutes for our first cut of meat which was Brisket. The waitress brought all the sides dishes before the meats which is right but also brought the egg soup and soy bean soup which you are suppose to bring at the end. Why would I want to eat sides dishes and soup and get full before getting to taste the Meats! Hello it’s Korean BBQ! Not stuff my face with sides and soups. The meats do not cook nicely on the electric grills. The meats took too long too cook and then the meats tasted chewy and overcooked. Not happy! LA KOREAN BBQ KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE DOING TO SATISFY OUR KOREAN BBQ FIX ! It’s worth the 2hr drive.

I had the the bulgogi. Super good! Loved it! Would go back again. I want to try the All You Can Eat BBQ. A+
Daughter (3) and son (1) shared a teriyaki chicken kids meal. They loved it and ate everything. A+
Hubby had the Ninja Sushi & Sashimi plate. He liked it. Said it was good but not as fresh as he likes it. B+

If you want the best Sushi in town come to Ninja’s, fresh and so good. If you like really spicy food order the Fire chicken and the spicy potstickers. My favorite roll is the Caterpillar but there are so many good rolls like the Mexican, Las Vegas and the Bakersfield. The servers are all friendly and it’s a family atmosphere.

Very dissapointed on their korean bbq. We ordered pork belly and we got served that looks like a sliced pork shoulder meat. Pork belly should look like a thick bacon. For $ 25 dinner AYCE korean bbq is not worth it at all. I asked the waitress if that is a pork belly meat and she said yes. And it all went downhill from there. She doesn’t know what she is serving. For a $ 25 price for a AYCE korean bbq should be a top of the line usda prime meat and served with tasty banchan in 15 varieties. I thought that bakersfield will have the first kbbq that will surpass the latest los angeles kbbq’s for a $ 25 price. But we were wrong. We will not be hesitated to drive to LA for $ 10 – 20 as most of the kbbq lovers in bakersfield do it anyways.

We always get great sushi & excellent service here. The waitresses are awesome, Jason is always friendly & the sushi chefs know how to roll! Our favorites are the «Hello Hi» and «Ninja Turtle» rolls. Make sure to give a big «hello hi» to Benny back in the kitchen!

Was my favorite place till I found out about their work ethics. Not paying employees job training, no breaks and paying employees under the table. Dishonest business and I will no longer support them or eat here.
If they are dishonest with the irs and labor laws what about food handling? I cannot trust this company with my food and health now. Such a shame update employees do not wash hands nor is there a hand sanitation area. No food handlers license for cooks either. Very unsanitary.
