I've been to Ninja City Kitchen many times in the past. I've never eaten inside and I've always ordered to go. I do want to plan a time to dine-in with friends for dinner one day. STEAM BUNS (5/5 stars but slightly expensive) -- Normally, I order their steam buns ($16.50) which come with four small pieces of steamed dough with your choice of protein. The steam buns are small enough where you can hold it in your hand and they are sooo tasty. Protein choices are chicken, tofu, shrimp (+$1), steak (+$1), or pork. The buns are topped with pickled carrot, radish, jalapeño, cilantro, scallions, and chili aioli. I normally get the steamed buns with shrimp which cost a $1 extra because of the shrimp. Take a look at my photos of the steam buns here on the Yelp page (the steam buns photos didn't link to this review for some reason). FRIED RICE WITH SHRIMP (2.5 or 3/5) -- For my most recent visit in June 2024, I ordered the Fried Rice ($16.50) with Shrimp (+$1) which cost $17.50 plus tax. I love fried rice and shrimp (fish) in general but this one here from Ninja City tasted very burnt. It was strange. I'm not sure if they used old ingredients when cooking this dish but something wasn't right at all. Maybe the soy sauce, if there was soy sauce in this, was different somehow? I remember biting into the fried rice and thinking how I would finish it when I didn't like the taste. Since this was a takeout order and I was already back in my car, I didn't want to turn around to return to the restaurant to complain so I ate as much as I could. I won't be ordering the fried rice again.The amount of food (little) you get compared to the price (high) may turn you off but try the food first -- I am referring here to the steam buns which are $16.50 plus a $1 if you add shrimp. I definitely recommend the steam buns with shrimp though but I don't recommend the friend rice with shrimp.****GOAL of 150 reviews in 2024- 85/150 total reviews in 2024- 735 total overall Yelp reviews- Reviewed on 10 August 2024

My friend chose this place for lunch. She had been here before and loved it! We sat in the outdoor patio since the weather wasn't too bad.We shared togarashi tots and both got hot green tea and the Vietnamese noodle salad. Hers had tofu while I chose the vegetable spring roll. Loved it! It's one of the better vegetarian noodle salads I've had. Very flavorful and refreshing to eat. It was a lot of food! We both had leftovers to bring home.The tots were good. Didnt taste much from it but it did taste salted.The menu had a lot of options, especially for vegans and vegetarians. It's a fusion restaurant so I wouldn't expect authentic. But I did like the comic book design of the menu.Our server was nice. Came to fill our waters a lot.It wasn't busy for lunch during the day but I'm sure they're busier in the evenings.I found free parking behind the building, but there's a lot of parallel parking spots on the street.

Fun place to relax & enjoy modern takes on Asian food. Service was good & we were well taken care of. First time for eating a Korean corn dog. Yummy! Really liked the crunchy coating. The cocktail I ordered complimented the food I ate. The Holy Kumquats!!!! Sangria was a perfect choice for the foods I tried tonight. My friend & I split a few dishes so that we could save room for dessert. Glad we did! The fried ice cream was amazing! They have perfected the fried ice cream in my opinion. The food quality is awesome! We also enjoyed the Pad Thai & lettuce wraps. Will definitely eat here again! The prices are good here too.

Oh man, not sure if I just came on a bad day but tried this at the Van Aken Market and ordered the Miso Ramen. The noodles were so mushy and overcooked I couldn't even get through my meal. The toppings were cold as well, the mushrooms were raw. The broth was okay but on the saltier side. It's kind of like the person who made this never had a ramen in their life. Someone else in my party got the pho and also said their noodles were way overcooked. On top of it, their price for these noodle soups are expensive. Hopefully the other items on their dish are better..

Second time here, and I'm not sure I'll be back! Both times I've come here, my food has been pretty flavorless. I got the Miso Ramen Noodle Soup and it tastes like water. :( But the tots and ginger ketchup were great! My husband got the sandwich again and loved it! However, our water glasses were empty most of our dinner :(

Ambiance: This place has a cool comic-book vibe with a pretty wide smattering of Asian influences including chinese, korean, vietnamese and japanese cuisines. The staff are friendly and our food came out in a reasonable amount of time. They will text you when your food is ready so it's easy to roam about while you're waiting.Food: We ordered maybe some of the more fusion-centric items including the bahn mi which came with the togarashi tots, steamed bbq pulled pork buns, and a brown sugar bubble tea. The bahn mi gets some things right such as the do chua pickles and butter-mayo but uses a denser hoagie-style bun and roasted honey ham in it which is a little weird. It did not feel very "classic" despite being labeled as such and was inferior to the cold cuts or chashu of what you could get elsewhere. The side of tots were deliciously crunchy and the mild spice of the togarashi very enjoyable, however ours didn't come with the ginger ketchup of the full order (see pics) which made for a very dry experience. The steamed buns were the stronger dish with texturally-perfect pillowy buns, spicy jalapeno, and tasty pulled pork. The main complaint is that you only get about 2 teaspoons of pulled pork and it makes for a much less filling meal compared to the equally-priced bahn mi. Our bubble tea was the worst part of the meal, it tasted like watered down milk without any tea flavor or sweetness of brown sugar. The boba was also skimpy and overcooked. Inedible. Overall our meal was pretty lack-luster, I would have much rather gotten a bahn mi and steamed buns from Asia Town Center for a fraction of the price. I would be open to trying some of the more traditional items on the menu such as the rice and noodle dishes but am admittedly wary.

~ gluten-free review ~I have grabbed takeout from Ninja City before however I wanted to compare that to the in person experience at the restaurant. Overall the space is cute and usually can sit down quickly. The staff is attentive and friendly as well which is great.I ordered the chicken pho and it was some of the best that I've had in Ohio! The togarashi tots were crispy and had good flavor and the ginger ketchup was yum. The only reason why I gave them 4 stars is because my friend's fried rice was very undercooked.

Great portions of food! They have soup, sandwiches, dumplings and more! The service is fast and easy and not much of a wait to get food. It's located in Van aken market hall so there is ample sitting inside or out. I loved everything I have gotten from here you just can't go wrong! Parking is easy, dog friendly and has good hours!

3rd visit to this establishment and on a Saturday evening. We were seated immediately. Efficient service. Asian fusion. Had the bento box with spring roll, edamame and dumplings. Chilli garlic wings were flavorful and luckily didn't have the sweetness to the spicy sauce. The fried chicken was cooked well and went well with the spicy Mac and cheese. The red curry with shrimp was tasty. Pad Thai was a huge portion. The chai tea Manhattan drink was strong and the lychee mojito was not overtly sweet

Expected worse, got about average. Nothing bad, but I think there can be potential! Ramen was just about good
