Ninja Japanese Steakhouse

Date of visit: November 20, 2024I hadn't had hibachi in easily a decade, but then found myself having it twice in a month's time; first with Benihana downtown and then here at Ninja Japanese Steakhouse in Menomonee Falls. In all honesty, I had never heard of Ninja and had to look up where it was, my visits to the Falls mostly consisting of Costco as of late! The location near the freeway makes it easy to get in and out of, which was a nice plus.The place was steady but not super busy on this Wednesday evening, but I think that helped us out a bit as we were able to sit and enjoy our meal, but also ensured that the timing of the food was a little faster than it can be with hibachi given the limited grill capacity, especially with what I experienced at Benihana.Another plus for Ninja was the price, this was a more affordable meal than Benihana, but not by that much, surprisingly. Charging two dollars for the rice is disappointing, though I certainly could have just stuck with the noodles as those were surprisingly tasty. Service was good and the chef did some fun tricks for the table, including flinging food into mouths (which I passed on). The flair was not at the level of Benihana but was still appreciated.If you have a hankering for hibachi, Ninja will get you there for a bit less and a potentially more convenient location (with free parking) than Benihana downtown will.

One of my favorite sushi spots I have ever been to! (And I've been to A LOT)Their sushi is consistently wonderful, flavorful, and fresh. I have never had a bad meal! Presentation is always perfect. My favorite is the firefly roll!Always have great service. My go to spot in the area!

Ninja is the best sushi my husband have ever had! The service is excellent, and ambiance is warm and welcoming. We have been going here for 10 years and it just keeps getting better!

The Best sushi place Been going for a year never had anything bad. This is a GREAT restaurant. Waiter's and waitress's are wonderful.!!!!

It was Sunday. I tried to go to two different restaurants before landing here (one was closed, the other was curbside only).I was hangry.And, honestly, since it was my third choice for the evening, my expectations were low.I was beyond pleasantly surprised. Ninja has some of the best sushi in the Milwaukee area. Their fish is so fresh you'll wonder how it's even possible with our proximity to the ocean. Like straight-out-the-water-fresh.One side of the restaurant is hibachi. Since we were looking for sushi, we sat on the opposite side. The atmosphere is clean and casual. It's not the sort of place you frequent for the ambiance. But, for the sushi, sashimi, and nigiri? Yes, yes, and yes.Since this was our first time here, we ordered their love boat for two, figuring it would give us a nice sampling, which it did. It comes with a salad, which was basically iceberg lettuce dressed with a lovely ginger dressing (simple but tasty). It also comes with a bowl of miso soup (just ok). As for the love boat itself, our least favorite thing on the board was the spicy tuna roll (definitely not like it was bad or anything) and our favorite was literally everything else on the board.They have a full bar and specialty cocktail menu, though we didn't partake this time. The service was incredibly prompt and friendly. The prices were about what you expect to pay at similar spots in the area (which is to say high, but not unreasonably so).Get to it!

If you're looking for this while driving, as I was, the large signage on the building says HIBACHI SUSHI! 5-Stars, all the way for my sushi and sashimi lunch with great service. I had a few pieces of sashimi, along with the Kyoto Maki rolls which were excellent. Service was pleasant and on it. Would stop here again when I'm in the area.

We came here on a whim for my son's 7th bday. He loves sushi and since moving to the area 9 months ago we haven't found a sushi place we were married to. We popped in and we were seated right away, our server took our drink order within 2 minutes, and was back very quickly for our food order. The fish was SO fresh and really tender. We've lived all over the country in a lot of big and small cities and this has to be a top contender. Nicky our server was so kind, provided excellent and prompt service, and spent a lot of time talking with us and making my kids laugh. She brought a stuffed animal from the claw machine to my son for his birthday (a green puppy who was instantly named edamame) and ice cream for dessert! We can't wait to come back!

Food was yummy wasent busy and I loved it all in all. we got our food for within 10 mins def coming back

I am giving this a 3 only because of the Good Service. Our waiter (Rob) was great. The Nori on the sushi and rolls was TOUGH... you could not cut it with a fork.. and chewing was impossible. The salmon in the sushi looked worse than the Gas Station variety. Tempura Seafood... the breading tasted weird.. almost chemically and left an odd aftertaste. This was not our first time there... but things seem to have slipped in the last year. This will be our last visit to Ninja.

Food fresh, teriyaki dishes were overly sweet. the sauce is poured over your meat of choice. The one star is for the server adding a 18% gratuity option. My wife and I discussed retur in until we got our check. We tip well and won't support this business going forward due to this practice.
