I love this place and it's an excellent choice after a long hard day. The family is always friendly and welcoming. I am a huge fan of their rainbow rolls! I'd highly recommend this place if you want to support local and receive excellent service and tasty food. read more

Why aren't you here yet? This restaurant is ran by a small family who truly bust their butts to provide amazing food and service. It's a husband and wife up front, someone in the back and their children sitting at a booth being good. We go almost every Friday and truly value the family atmosphere. The food is always great! My husband and I always order the sushi rolls and our kids get calamari, fried rice, and katsu chicken. Now in full transparency it is only the wife working the front so although surface may not be at the speed of lightening it is worth the wait. So go support a local family who is working hard, showing up every day, and bringing us amazing food. read more

We love this place !! The sushi is fantastic, the people who run it are so sweet, and it feels like we're visiting old friends every time that we go. I would highly recommend Niji for celebrations big and small ! read more

I have been here a million times and its time to leave a review. It is the best sushi I have had in Kansas. It is always quick and the orders are accurate. Love this place! read more

Food is always great and we feel we receive great value for what we pay. We haven't dined in since they closed the sushi bar, we always order takeout out. read more

Still a date night favorite! We always get the bento boxes (shrimp tempura and chicken katsu). Both are delicious and it really fills us up - especially for $14 each at dinner time. Miso soup is just right, and we love the Japanese salad dressing (just what I remembered when traveling through Japan years ago). Definitely stop by and check it out! read more

We love this place and are frequent regulars. We have never had a bad experience here and always crave it. It's our favorite sushi place! read more

The food is great and fresh definitely the best sushi place in Olathe. Never had a bad roll on the menu. The staff is fast and the ambiance of the restaurant is quite elegant. read more

Went in during the first hour of opening, got the lunch specials. The water tastes like it came straight out of cedar lake. Fish for the sushi was slimy and warm, Teriyaki chicken was rubbery and chewy, rice was old, soup was instant, and the salad dressing. What should have been a ginger dressing became Bigmac sauce with the incorporation of miracle whip; this on a child's size handful of white lettuce with 4 carrots straws. The 2 meals that were ordered were could only be described as completely inedible. Service was rushed to the point the food came out at different times and the check came 5-10 mins into the meal. Thank god for that because I could keep pretending to eat the food any longer without getting sick. read more

Food was okay. Waitress never smiled once--not at my table or at anyone else's table. Made me worried about the staff. Very odd.

I would like to say that I have been coming to Niji since I was very young! I've loved this place forever! I believe it is a family run business and the staff is always kind and efficient. The decor and atmosphere is also quite nice. The sushi is good. No complaints. Compared to my last two reviews, I would say it is nice. Sushi House still has the best tuna, Ika for the salmon. I would say Niji's hibachi style selections are AMAZING! I ended up with a fried roll this time, and I thought it held its crunch very well. Of course I will be back here again when I am in the area! read more

Decent for Olathe area! Ordered online, was told to come in 25-30 minutes later. Came in 30 minutes later and still had to wait another 5 minutes for my meal. Love, love the decor. Very kawaii with so much lucky cat art--and I'm a huge cat lover, so I loved the ambiance. I ordered the three roll lunch: salmon roll, tuna roll, spicy salmon roll--also salmon roe nigiri and a yellow tail and scallion hand roll. The salmon roe came as sashimi instead, on a cucumber slice. The roe was also... old. There were several eggs that were completely hardened, and should not have been used. If you looked, it was obvious that the middle portion of the roe was shadowed and hardened. I didn't think that the spicy salmon would have crunchies in it, ive not seen that before, but I should have asked. I do have a gluten sensitivity so I was on the toilet soon after my meal, sadly. Would definitely try the place again, there's not a lot of sushi places in this area. I'll be sure to ask about gluten in their food next time..... read more

Nothing special. Fast service and the jalapeños was good. Mediocre food at best, tried a few rolls and the taste was bland covered by sauces. Not what I am used to for sushi. read more

Wishing we read more of the reviews before coming here. Our experience was very similar to all of the other poor reviews. Tasteless rolls with no flavor or sauces as described on the menu. Two of our rolls that included spicy crab was only dry, shredded, tasteless crab. The Kani salad was also tasteless and only had a couple pieces of cucumber. Service was terrible. Our waitress was short with us and inattentive. She did not get our order correct and forgot to bring us our side of fried rice. We had to wait an unreasonable amount of time to get anyone to come check on us while waiting for a box. We were the only customers in there at this point. The ambiance and decor was nice here. It'd be a great place if food and service were good. read more

Really love the customer service, can tell they really want to do a great job and strive for that! Very clean and nice restaurant! Food was amazing! Their lunch menu was the perfect amount!!! read more

Read other reviews as well! I would not recommend for lunch unless you like the basic of the basic rolls then this place is perfect for you. I asked for shrimp tempura during lunch thinking it had shrimp, avocado, cucumber, and lettuce. Nope just the shrimp and rice. All the other sushi was tasteless. The salad and mushroom soup were the best part of the meal. This place use to be five stars about 2 years ago. I'll have to try again on a different day! read more

We love swinging down the road to Niji. It's close and convenient for us so that's a big help. Add on how delicious it is, it makes it a fantastic spot for us. We've been calling our orders in recently and it's always ready within 15 minutes. Some of the rolls we've enjoyed include the dragon, saki maki, shrimp mongo, and the spicy scallop roll to name a few. All have been great. Definitely recommend this to anyone down in south Olathe. read more

This place is adorable and so Japanese in decor, I love it!!! The food is fantastic and did not disappoint. We had the yummy roll and it's my favorite roll of all time! It's a shrimp tempura roll that is delicious. The only knock I have against this place is a lack of alcohol. This meal would have been perfect with a little hot sake. read more

We just tried Niji for the first time this week. This family of four all agreed that Niji was the best sushi we have had in awhile. I had their Sashimi Deluxe which I believe included tuna, white tuna, salmon, red snapper, and yellowtail. It was all fresh and delicious. I will definitely order it again. read more

Meats dry. Sauce too sweet. Fish not fresh. Rice falling apart and not seasoned correctly. Just all kinds of no here. Avoid.

We ordered the vegetable yaki noodles (soba). We got udon noodles with a salad dumped on top. Literally, their side salad with iceberg lettuce and carrots , were dumped on top. Gross! I called them to ask them to make it right, they offered to remove that charge. They did not. In a crushing counter punch of culinary confusion - the sweet potato sushi roll was the best I've ever eaten! No picture as we are it too fast. I'm torn to order from here again...mulling over our options. read more

Niji Sushi & Steak - Lunch So Yum - Sushi Bars Near Me - Olathe, Kansas

I visited on a Saturday afternoon to grab sushi with a friend. The ambience was very dull and quiet since it wasn't that busy. As far as prices go, the sushi is cheaper in comparison to other places. I ordered the pick two sushi lunch special which came with a small bowl of miso soup, a small salad, and two rolls of your choice. The miso soup was yummy and so was the salad. I enjoyed the dressing they used; sweet and tasty. The sushi itself was good. I preferred the Eel Avocado roll since I love eating eel, but both rolls were good. Service on the other hand, was a bit iffy. The server rushed my friend and I into ordering despite the restaurant not being busy at all, which is OK. But throughout her service, she had a small attitude, probably thinking that we wouldn't tip her since we were students. Contrary to that popular belief, we do tip generously... treat us with more respect and your tip will reflect that! The server finally gave us a smile when she saw us place some bills on the table. I will come back for the good and affordable sushi, especially since this place is near home. Hopefully next time service will be much better. read more

Had the Las Vegas and salmon/avocado roll tonight. I'll be back to get more of those.

I went to Niji Sushi with my partner for the first time after hearing people say it is one of their favorite local places. It was not very busy when we arrived, and we were seated quickly. After that, the service was very slow. We ordered water, and did not get any refills during our entire meal. Our waiter was not attentive. When he brought out our rolls, he did not remember which roll was which. He brought us soy sauce trays, but was never around to bring us actual soy sauce. The restaurant was not busy, and things were quiet. The food was pretty good. The stuffed Jalapenos were delicious, as was my cup of miso soup. The rolls were good, though I would've enjoyed a little more flavor in the breading and bread crumbs. The wasabi paste was very dry, making it a pain to use it, so I passed on the wasabi. I'm guessing it was just an off night or a new server. Hopefully the next time I visit will be different. Still a good sushi place to grab some rolls and hang out with friends. read more

In the mood for some good miso, my husband and I decided to try out Niji during lunch time. We started off with an order of crab Rangoon which was your typical affair. For our mains, we ordered a bento box each; mine a salmon teriyaki and my husband's a chicken teriyaki. This was great value as we received salad, miso, sushi, and gyoza along with our proteins. The miso was excellent. The sushi was okay. Loved the salmon teriyaki with the onions. The staff was attentive and courteous. The ambience was nice. Very affordable lunch prices. All in all, we'd definitely come back again. read more

Yep that's the sushi and sashimi boat for two ($50)! My wife and I learned a while ago that when we go for sushi we go big or go home so we almost always get a boat because that is how we roll! Everything on our raw fish vessel was fresh and beautifully prepared. We had a great mix of sashimi, sushi and rolls. We were impressed with how quick our order showed up at our table but yet the presentation was great. Tasted as good as it looked! We will be back here again and I can't wait! read more

This was our first visit and we brought all of the kids for lunch on their way out of town after Thanksgiving. We were pleasantly surprised at how good everything was. It's located in a strip mall where the old DMV used to be and made us really hesitant to give it a try. I'm so glad we got over ourselves and went in! The decor is very welcoming and the staff was very helpful and friendly. We tried several rolls and hubby had the sushi lunch with spicy tuna roll. Their sense of presentation on all of our items was incredible. It really made for a fun lunch! We enjoyed the Ridgeview roll, the Crazy Tuna (strong wasabi flavor, but I liked it), the Out of Control roll (pretty sweet), and Diamond Roll. A couple of people tried the miso soup and thought it was good. I thought it was a nice touch that they brought us a free order of edamame. I also had their salad and was very happy with it. It was a good portion, fresh lettuce and a nice salad dressing. We thought their prices were reasonable and I can't wait to visit them again. read more

Olathe has a few good sushi places and Niji can be added to that list. Everything was amazing and delicious. The complimentary appetizer (I think it was spicy tuna and crunch wrapped in cucumber with seafood salad) was amazing. I could have enjoyed a few more of those and called it a day. I wasn't expecting it so it made it tough to finish the delicious items I ordered, but that isn't a bad thing! I tried the Ridgeview roll. I don't remember what all it had, but it was delicious. I would definitely recommend trying it. I also tried the salmon and tuna sashimi. The pieces were thick! And good quality. The presentation was gorgeous. They certainly take the artistic side of sushi as serious as the quality of their product. Sitting at the sushi bar watching the chef prepare the plate with care and precision was enjoyable. The place is clean and service is fantastic. The menu is big with plenty of variety to please everyone. I really appreciate that there is a good portion of the menu that is not fried, which seems to be the trend at a lot of sushi places. I also loved that they have a TV that displays the various rolls they have. Although they have good descriptions on the menu, seeing the roll prior to ordering is nice, especially for hesitant newbies to the sushi world. Another huge plus is that they deliver sushi. In a market that is sandwich, pizza, and Chinese as your only delivery options, this is a nice alternative! They are pretty strict with the 5 mile delivery zone which makes me getting delivery a no at 5.1 miles. That may actually be a good thing because after trying them, I could see me having to sell the pug to the circus to fund my sushi deliveries! Stop and give them a try, you will not be disappointed! read more

Stopped here for lunch today to check it out, alerted by a 4.5 composite Yelp review (sample of 18 diners). I prefer it to the Sake Lounge in every aspect (ambiance, food, and service) , previously the only other purveyor of sushi in Olathe, since Sushi House's Olathe endeavor was unceremoniously (and unfortunately, for sushi lovers) run out of town from neglect by a populous that seems to generally prefer quantity to quality on the restaurant front (see "Golden Corral", the most successful eatery in town). My Niji Sushi experience, in a nutshell: - sat at the sushi bar, and ordered up the sushi and sashimi lunch special, an apparent bargain at 11.95 for miso soup, salad, 5 nigiri sushi pieces, 5 sashimi pieces, and a california roll. - sushi chef #1 of 2 presented me with a complimentary appetizer, which could loosely be called an amuse-bouche by virtue of its whimsy. On a bed of shredded daikon, three pringles potato chis were topped with a pinch of seaweed salad and a pinch of crab (with a c, not a k) to keep me busy while the salad and soup were rustled up. Sounds odd, and largely enjoyable on the palate. A lovely gesture :) - soup and salad arrived, a respectable cup o miso and a bowl of very freshly spun iceberg with a thick, creamy dressing dolluped on top, scented with a hint of sesame. I would have preferred the salad be lightly tossed in the dressing, rather than having to consume it in such a way to evenly distribute the dressing between bite, a trifling concern in the grand scheme of the experience. - sashimi (3 white tuna and 2 salmon) was chunky, fresh, and delish, excellent. - sushi (1 yellowtail, one tuna (maguro red), one white tuna, one salmon, and one butterflied shrimp. The fish was sliced too thin, but presented beautifully and quite tasty. - california roll was heavy on the avacado, and made with krab (feaux crab), and missing the cucumber necessary to give it the proper crunch and overall freshness quotient. Also, regrettably, it was not sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds or roe. Absent ideal crunch, moisture was delivered by the generous blob o avacado. - sushi rice was bland (light on vinegar), too cold, and a bit on the dry side- about a 7 of possible 10 - service was cordial, attentive, and spot-on low key - atmosphere was intimate/clean/comfy, appropriate for the target market Niji Sushi, I shall return. I love you just the way you are, delivering a fine value and solid overall suburban sushi experience, and you are just a few little tweaks away from being the first five star Olathe Sushi joint since Sushi House (sigh). read more

So...the service here was terrible. The lady didn't smile, spoke shortly, and just looked so unhappy to be here. When she dropped off the sushi, she used the PLATE to prod my shoulder and said, "Move. Plate coming." Then the order was wrong. We ordered a sweet potato roll and she brought us a sweetheart roll. It's double the price. Her: "Oops. My mistake. Will you take this?" Me: "Um, no. I don't want this. I ordered sweet potato." Her: "But we made this already for you." Me: "I don't want it." Her: "...Ah........" Me: "Fine. I'll guess we'll eat it... Will the sweet potato roll take a long time?" Her: "Oh, you want to order the sweet potato roll on top of this?" Me: "...Uh, that's what I wanted? You know what. Just cancel the sweet potato roll..." She charged me full price for the sweetheart roll...that I didn't want and ate one piece of. I will never go there again... read more

Since Wasabi Cafe closed I have longed to have a good sushi bar closer. Niji Sushi delivers on service, taste and variety. Prices are reasonable and the staff is attentive and friendly. Wife had the bento box with shrimp tempura, I choose the 3 rolls option for the Maki lunch. Both are under $10.00, includes soup and salad. I just hope my budget can handel a good sushi bar so close to home. read more

This place is amazing! I do live close so there's the convenience. But the food and service is on point. I've ate more expensive sushi bars and this holds a candle to most. This is a great place for the casual sushi fan, for lunch and supper. If you want some place with more ambience, go pay more somewhere closer to the city. Just keep in mind that the sushi will be just as good here! read more

This is our go to spot for sushi when we want to grab some for lunch. They have good lunch specials (we choose the three roll special which comes with miso soup and salad for $11.50) and everything always tastes good. Another go to is the gyoza appetizer, always hits the spot and the amazing crab appetizer is drool worthy. I'm taking one star away because of the experience we had today... we got our normal lunch special, no issues there. The issues I had were with the appetizers we ordered. The gyoza (which is supposed to be pan fried/steamed) we're completely fried but I don't mind that too much, just not what I was expecting. I also ordered the Kani salad for the first time today, and while the flavor was delicious, the portion size was unexpected. They charge $4.95 for the kani salad and there was barely anything! I probably won't order it again, even though it tasted so good - amount wasn't worth what they charge. Overall a great little place, but maybe they are starting to go downhill? read more
