Food: 3/5 Medium, that is how I would describe this experience. Some of the food was good, and some…read morewas just ok. My husband liked his Chicken Karrage and he paid an up charge for fried rice. He said it was some of the best he has ever had. The sushi however was just ok. The overuse of condiment felt like a ploy to cover over lower quality fish. The flavor was just not that great. Also, charging for spicy Mayo feels a bit excessive, but hey, I get it. You have to pay for those fake little plastic bonsai trees somehow. Service: 3/5 Having to ask for plates when you get a sushi platter should not happen. My partner and I were sharing a platter and the waitress only brought us one cup for soy and no plates. Also, the weirdly plated sushi was gimmicky and difficult to share. Ambiance: 2/5 The music was ok but the plating of the food and lack of availability on condiments and mismatching silverware made it all feel cheap and tawdry. I probably won't be back, as there are equally ok sushi spots who don't rely on gimmicks to wow their customers. I would have preferred just rolls on a platter without the little wooden box with a pile of shaved radish covering two blinking plastic ice cubes with one of my rolls precariously squished on top. Also, having random piles of lettuce on the plate is so unneeded. Not to mention that the rolls themselves were cramped with all the extra fake decor that reminded me of what you would place in a fish tank. It's like they asked themselves what would a midwestern person expect in a sushi restaurant and then they made it a parody of that.

Our server was nice but not attentive enough and the food was just ok. We ordered one roll because we weren't sure we would like it just based on the vibes. We actually saw another couple just get up and leave without ordering anything l, probably for the same reason. I think it could be ok if they fixed the serious vibe problem.

Went for my birthday dinner on a Wednesday with my husband. Unfortunately, we walked into an open…read morefloor restaurant with warehouse vibes and zero ambiance. Think Costco-esque lighting. To be fair, we got there a bit past 7:30...maybe they were winding down? It felt like we caught them mid renovation or something. The service was the biggest letdown. Our young server was nice but her inexperience was painfully obvious as she nervously fumbled to answer basic questions about the menu. I'm not newbie shaming because we've all gotta start somewhere. But at least avoid putting anyone on the floor solo until they learn the menu. She had to summon another server a few times who looked overloaded herself. And our original server didn't stick around to shadow. My hubs ordered noodles which came 10 minutes before my rolls. After my rolls came, we were an afterthought. I had to wave the server down for pretty standard stuff like wasabi and a drink refill. We even ended up swiping napkins from another table because I was ov.er.it. Tempura appetizer and sushi rolls were good. I had the 911 and rainbow, both of which I recommend. As a San Diego transplant, I was happy with the quality and taste. The sake flight wasn't bad either. Perhaps they were understaffed or it was an off night but the dining experience overall was cringey. I fully planned on leaving with a solid birthday buzz but got a buzzkill instead. The restaurant is clearly hemorrhaging money from poor service. The bar area looked pretty cool though. If I do come back, I'll be in Vans having a drink waiting for my takeout on a non-birthday.

Ninza Sushi East was one of the best sushi places I've tried in Wichita! I was really surprised by…read morehow fresh all of their sushi was. My boyfriend and I came because of their grand opening promotion, and I'm really glad we gave Ninza a try. The restaurant was super cute and nicely decorated. I especially loved the bar area. I liked my first visit so much, I came a second time within the week with another friend and she also really enjoyed their rolls. --- Fresh Rolls: -Alaska Roll 5/5 ($11.95): This roll is probably my favorite out of all the rolls I had at Ninza (so much so, that I got it again the second time I was there). I'm a sucker for salmon, and the salmon combined with the fresh avocado and crab meat was to die for. The sauce wasn't too overwhelming either, so the freshness of the salmon was able to shine through. Alaska rolls are pretty classic at every sushi restaurant, and Ninza does their Alaska roll so freaking well. If you're a fan of fresh salmon, I'd definitely recommend getting this roll! -Red Fantasy Roll 4/5 ($13.95): The Red Fantasy consisted of crab, avocado, asparagus, fried garlic, eel sauce, and was topped with fresh blue fin tuna. This roll was also very fresh and tasty as well but I felt like the eel sauce was a bit overpowering. I like to be able to taste the fish, so I wasn't a huge fan of the amount of sauce in the roll, but other than that it was really good. Tuna isn't usually my favorite, but the blue fin they used was really delicious. --- Tempura Rolls: -Spicy Tuna Tempura Roll 2/5 ($13.95): I'm honestly not the biggest fan of fried rolls or tempura rolls, since I like my sushi raw and fresh. I feel like tempura rolls are too heavy and greasy, but that's just my personal opinion. The Spicy Tuna Tempura had deep fried spicy tuna, avocado, and shrimp tempura. The roll itself was huge and definitely very filling. The first few bites were really good, but I got sick of it afterward. My boyfriend and I also agreed that the texture of the spicy tuna was a bit off. It was sort of rubbery and eraser-like, but if you ate it all together with the roll, the other ingredients masked it (he was dissecting his last piece and only eating the tuna because he was too full lol). For people who don't like raw fish, tempura rolls are a good option, but they're just not for me. --- Sashimi: -Combo D Platter 4.5/5 ($15.95): I judge sushi restaurants by the quality of their sashimi, and Ninza's sashimi is definitely one of the best I've had in Wichita. The Combo D platter consisted of 5 pieces of nigiri (raw fish on rice) and 6 pieces of sashimi that are chef's choice. I wasn't too sure what all of the fish were, but they were all delicious, and the salmon (especially!!!) was so fatty and high quality. The fish didn't melt in my mouth like other places I've tried, but it was close to it. I highly recommend getting their sashimi if you're a fan of raw fish. The presentation of the fish was beautiful too, with all of the pieces were cut thickly and nicely. The rice to fish ratio for the nigiri was perfect as well. There wasn't too much rice and you could still taste the fish. --- Happy Hour (3-6pm) Specials: -Spicy Tuna Roll 3/5 ($4): The spicy tuna roll was pretty basic and similar to spicy tuna rolls I've had at any other sushi restaurant. It wasn't amazing or spectacular, but it was still yummy and definitely worth the $4. --- Daily Specials (Tuesdays/Thursdays): Their cocktails (5/5) were really delicious as well. All of their cocktails are $5 on Tuesdays and Thursdays, which is such a steal! I forgot which one my boyfriend and I got, but it had lychee, pineapple juice, vodka, and peach sake in it. I really recommend that one (and the bartender did too)! --- Overall (4/5): I eat sushi pretty often and at a variety of places in southern CA, and I was VERY pleasantly surprised with how good Ninza's sushi was since I've been disappointed with so many other sushi places in Wichita. Their fish was fresh and didn't seem to be too obviously frozen. The fish quality wasn't the best I've had, but it was still delicious. The presentation of their sushi was gorgeous, and as someone who loves taking pictures of their food, I really appreciated that. The overall service was also very friendly and prompt, and the restaurant was located in a strip with plenty of parking which was nice. The menu was pretty big and I definitely want to try some of their appetizers or desserts. We recommended the restaurant to several of our friends, and everyone who tried it also had really enjoyable experiences as well! I can definitely see myself coming back many more times for sushi when I'm in Wichita.

The menu is pared down from what it used to be, but we were still able to find our favorites. Service: Lost a star on this one: It wasn't bad per se, just unprofessional. Though I am sure the server felt it made her sound sophisticated to include herself in the group "Where would we like to sit?" and "What are we having?" followed up with "How was our food?" and "Did we save room for desert?" at this point "we" had had enough and were ready to get out of there. Instead of coming across as sophisticated it made her sound more like a nurse aid at a poorly ran nursing home. "And how are we doing today?" This may sit with a younger crowd, though I did not hear her addressing other tables in this manner. Older persons are offended by this condescending speech. The food, as always was up to great standards, price point was still stable. Service--"We" were not amused.
