    Our favorite sushi. Come and find this little gem! Chef Jin is a master! You will not be disappointed.

    LOVE it! Small place but absolutely worth it! The service is fast even though there's only two waitresses. Super friendly. The sushi is fresh, big rolls, and not expensive at all. The salmon sushi was just fresh as could be. All the rolls we had were delicious! The gyozas were so crunchy and yummy.

    If you are ever in Ballwin, you need to stop at this hole in the wall restaurant. Located in a very small plaza you would never think this place is ever open, but it always is! My wife and I have gone here a handful of times and we thoroughly enjoy it every time. From the plethora of sushi offered to the Bento Boxes there is a little bit of everything for everyone! When you walk in, you'll find a quaint and quiet restaurant. The owner is very nice and was very attentive to us. I ordered the Salmon Bento Box and my wife ordered the Spicy Salmon Roll. Everything was delicious. For the price of food and the amount of food you receive is great! Make sure you stop by Chunmi when you're craving sushi!

    Service and Atmosphere were perfect! Great little sushi place. I'm quite picky about sushi so trying to be more objective. I had the gyoza, spicy tuna roll and rainbow roll. Gyoza was a little overdone and not as flavorful as I like. Instead of being more dumpling texture they were more crisp like crab rangoon. The spicy tuna roll was way too spicy for my liking and I love spicy! I think it would have had more flavor if less cayenne were used. The rainbow roll is always a favorite and this one did not disappoint. The various fish were all fresh and had great taste. I will definitely give it another try with friends to see if I'm just overly picky!

    It was difficult to see if this place was open due to the doors and windows being covered. The lady who served us was extremely nice! The miso soup tasted extremely fresh! Many places serve it when it's too old and you can start tasting the pot it sits in. Unfortunately the sushi rolls we got were simply subpar quality. Everything was too dry to work together. I would definitely pay more for a better quality product here.

    Big spider, good Idea, spicy tuna, fried Philadelphia and California.

    Yes, everyone is polite, no wait amd if there was I'd be happy to. Clean and quiet. Obviously the food is just on point

    If you're going out for Asian food or Sushi THIS IS THE PLACE! We started with Crab Rangoon which was warm flaky and amazing! The sushi rolls were large and delicious. The only thing better than the food was the service. The atmosphere is friendly, warm and charming. We will definitely going to make this a regular place.

We went this past week for my husband's birthday, and we had a wonderful experience. We were welcomed immediately upon arrival and sat. We ordered our drinks and received them quickly and then began to review the menu and try to pick out our favorites. My husband and I always go for the edamame as well as crab rangoon because why not? We each ordered a few rolls and all the flavors were fantastic, the presentation was beautiful, and the whole experience itself was perfect. Definitely would go back to this location and highly recommend others to go as well. Order the edamame with the addition of spicy & garlic - does not disappoint. I loved the Manhattan Roll, perfect blend of flavors and slight heat. My husband really enjoyed the Alaska and Fried Philly Roll. Service was top notch, much larger location than St Charles and there are options for lunch, happy hour and specialty items for all kinds of occasions.

We're long time Izakaya Ren fans and were very interested to see what the new ownership added to the experience...loved it! Chef Jimmy was great and has added some nice new touches to the menu. He also was kind enough to put together one of our favorite rolls from the past, thank you so much! We started with the seaweed salad and were pleasantly surprised by the addition of thinly sliced cucumber. What a nice addition and it made the salad just a touch larger in portion...very nice starter with great flavor. Then 3 rolls...crazy salmon, corona (our special request) and a rainbow roll. All were fantastic and yes, we also think they are larger in portion! This is the first time we've taken leftovers home and we were both stuffed (in a good way). No let down under new management at all. I anticipate there will be great sushi at Izakaya Ren for a long time to come. And, I can't finish this review without mentioning our server Erica...what a fun, engaging and friendly server. She really made our sushi experience complete. Great job Chef Jimmy, Erica and all the staff at Izakaya Ren...still our favorite sushi restaurant. If you are looking for a fresh take on a previously solid sushi restaurant please give Izakaya Ren a try.

    Tonight was a good night for family sushi night at Ninja…read more Our waitress was very helpful, and thorough, making sure the items we ordered had no gluten... apparently some of the eel and other fish might be marinated in sauces that might have gluten. Ninja does have gluten-free soy sauce, but you'll likely not want much soy sauce because you won't want it hiding the great flavors of Ninja's sushi. Tonight we enjoyed a variety of rolls, most chef's choice: - Kimi roll - Philly roll - Sumo roll - Salmon avocado - Dynamite (no crunch) - two... not one, but two Golden Dragon rolls... with curved slices of mango on top and a fantastic mango sauce Our waitress was intent to find a gluten free sauce for us and provided a combo sauce - half pink / half darker color (unsure the actual flavor but it was good). Before tonight, we have known that Ninja has the cook-at-your-table hibachi grill but we've only ever enjoyed their sushi. Tonight... I ventured to their hot food. I didn't have much to eat earlier in the day, so I ordered a side of shrimp fried rice and I'm very glad I did... great flavors egg and onions, and fantastic rice unto itself. Thank you, Nan

I didn't realize that they shut down at the end of lunch and open back up for dinner. With that being said they didn't rush me or make me feel uncomfortable. I wanted to be seated at a habachi table.

The clear soup was very good. The salad with ginger dressing was excellent. The chicken lomein was great too. The price was very good. There is plenty of parking in this strip mall. I love the atmosphere. I would love to come back for dinner.
