    I have always and will always love this place. The staff here are so friendly and always make sure you get seated reasonably fast. We always come here for birthdays or any special occasion because it is delicious! I highly recommend this restaurant, you will leave feeling full and with a bag of leftovers for tomorrow.

    Ninja remains a favorite, even as neighboring businesses in the shopping center have come and gone. I am glad to see this local gem continue to thrive. The hibachi experience here is always a highlight. The chefs are not only skilled but also entertaining, turning each meal into a delightful show. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff strives to provide attentive service, enhancing the overall dining experience.

    Miso Soup & House Salad
    Ruby S.

    This place is just your average hibachi. As others have said not allowing reservations is a huge challenge as I feel all Japanese Steakhouses can get very busy. We opted to come early to beat the Friday night rush, but it definitely started filling quickly. The soup here isn't very umami-rich, instead is rather bland. I also don't care for the salad dressing - to me it tastes more mayo based. It's not ginger or sesame. The hibachi itself is fair, nothing is wrong with it, but it's also not the best I've ever had. They won't seat you until your whole party has arrived, but there is a bar you can wait at & a small seating area as well.

    The food is absolutely delicious! One of the few places in the area that actually puts eel sauce ON the rolls. I love that!!! The service for pick up is always fast and fresh. I haven't come in to dine, but the ambiance seems great for a night out or special occasions. This is my go-to spot for sushi regularly so I will be back!

    Service and food was amazing!! I have found my new favorite place since moving here!!! Yummy!!

    We had two birthdays to celebrate, and they did not disappoint! It was also the first time our kids had the Hibachi grill experience.

    This is one of the best Japanese Steakhouses that is in this part of the Hampton Roads. Food is great. Chef was great. Staff is nice and very attentive. I highly recommend this place.

    This strange piece was in my wife's salad!..

    Let me start off by saying this review is based solely on my opinion and my opinion alone!. So they are now open for indoor dining,but you still have to wear a mask whether you're fully vaccinated or not! My wife and I order a dinner for two at the Mongolian grill,the lady takes our order and brings out a salad for us. My wife noticed something weird in her salad and puts in on the table to show me,it was something of weird texture and we couldn't figure out what it was. See photo below and/or in the pictures! This is not a deal breaker because I will be back because the food is delicious!..

    Love it! Always a good time, and good food. And right here in our neighborhood in Harbour View! Awesome.

    Shrimp & Chicken Hibachi with broccoli only
    Carla A.

    This is a nice clean and good restaurant to visit for lunch or dinner. Nubia is great bar tender who's very attentive and spot on when it comes to taking orders, mixing drinks and exhibit good customer service. I'm always pleased when I visit. It would be ideal to offer an happy hour people would be more willing to come frequently for a good discount drink/cocktail!

    Hibachi Rice

    I have no desire to return to this establishment. The food was subpar, the sushi was falling apart on the plate, the ginger was not fresh and smelled funny, the wasabi was not hot. Why two stars? Because the water was cold! Here is the major problem we experienced, our server was rude, impatient, and carried what seemed to be a major attitude. We noticed on the QR code menu that this restaurant has a no refund/money-back policy right at the top of the menu and plastered all over the restaurant. This should have been a red flag! It did not take us long to find out why. We were seated at the hibachi grill and there was just my wife and I. (let me back up, the only reason we were here was that Gianna was closed for the holiday) When we were seated for about 15 minutes, the hostess came and asked us to move to accommodate sitting a party of three with us. My wife said, "I want to stay where I am, but the host insisted, so they didn't have to break up the party of three. This was the beginning of a bad experience for my wife. Then our server had a bad attitude/ "What do you want to drink?" "Soup or salad?" Ok, and proceeds to walk away before we can tell her we wanted an appetizer! I call her back and tell her about the appetizer, and she walks away again before I can say to her we want sushi too.I had to call her back and told her what sushi we wanted. She walked away a third time before we could tell her our entree, and at this point, my wife was ready to leave. I should have listened...but we stayed and ordered, and our experience just went downhill from there. No refills on water, salmon overcooked, steak undercooked, never saw the server again until she brought the bill, and to add insult to injury, my wife got sick immediately after she ate her meal (which she couldn't finish ) Ok, after all that. The attitudinal server brings the bill...for a party of two, $75 (lunch) they automatically added a 15% gratuity charge to the bill. No wonder they gave such poor service,she was going to make her tip regardless. Needless to say, we will never come back here again!

    Kids chicken tenders
    Brandy A.

    Came here for family dinner. We usually go to a place in greenbrier but decided to try one closer. Food and service were good this was my first time having noodles and rice We ordered 1 kids chicken tender, one kids shrimp with fried rice and 3 adult meals - salmon & chicken, steak and chicken, and shrimp. The food was delish. They automatically add 20% gratuity for all guests and there are signs all over the front. They let you know the drink menu prices are not current. We will definitely return.

    This is a solid restaurant!…read more I can't give it five stars because this is not amazing enough to put ahead of others that are my absolute favorite but the few times that we've visited here within the past year and this year it's never busy so there's always a seat for us. The cooks are pretty much uniformed while there is some more interactive than others which is fine especially when I come and I'm hungry I don't like a lot of playing here and there especially when it comes to the rice give me all the rice ASAP:) This is a decent spot if you like Hibachi I believe they have sushi as well that's made fresh. My only side... When you walk in you smell an overwhelming scent of grease/oil in the air. I don't know if it's from the carpet that should be replaced or removed or a better ventilation system is necessary but if you can get past the smell then you should have a great experience. The food is good and you do get a lot! Our last visit we definitely had food to bring home so no complaints there. Plenty of parking as it's located in a shopping center so even if you finish eating and want to walk or continue your night... You can browse around to other shops... Dollar Tree within walking distance or decide to have drinks at the bar located either at the Outback or AJ Gators both within walking distance. Try them out if you're in the area! Have fun and enjoy life :)

No complaints except some of the scallops were more chewy and didn't have a nice sear. My cucumber avocado roll was nice and fresh. The soup and salad were flavorful and fresh. Not bad for the price. Keep in mind, there is an 18% service fee. FOR ANY SIZE GROUP. The place is a bit outdated. I'd eat there again , probably. But not a place I'm excited to go back for more.

I thought that was a pretty good deal and the miso soup tastes awesome. They have a really big menu with lots of options for specialty rolls. There is a few reasons why I didn't give them all 5 stars. First, the spicy tuna roll is just okay. Compared to the other restaurants around, this one lacks flavor. Not great, would not recommend. Secondly, we spent about $25 more dollars here than we do normally on the exact same rolls at other restaurants. The specialty rolls are definitely more pricey for the same quality. Overall, good experience and good sushi but much more pricey for no apparent reason.

When the dish came out, it was basically a 50/50 split of salmon and tuna. Most other restaurants usually include more variety in their sashimi deluxe, such as shrimp, yellowtail, tilapia, or even krab, even with a substitution, so I was already a little disappointed. Overall the tuna looked quite gray in color, and the salmon was noticeably dry. Definitely not the quality I expected for the price. What really upset me was the bill at the end. The menu listed the sashimi deluxe at $25, but my check showed $33. I politely pointed this out to the waitress, and she said she would speak with the manager. When the manager came over, I was told that the waitress was new and that there is an extra charge for substitutions. The problem is that neither the waitress nor I was informed about this beforehand. What made the experience worse was the manager's attitude. She came across as rude and completely unconcerned when I explained why I was frustrated. I understand businesses have policies, but customers should be informed about additional charges before ordering, not surprised when the check arrives. I'm sharing this review so future customers are aware to ask questions about possible hidden or unexpected charges before ordering. Also, I just want to make a note that I have been coming to Nana, since Panera Bread was still next door, so this change in food quality, prices, and service is very disappointing.

The waitress greeted us as soon as we sat down and took our drink and appetizer orders. I got a water and California rolls. The California rolls came pretty much 5 minutes later. I didn't want to get too full before dinner so I shared them with my friend. Very tasty and very fresh. Now here is where the night took a slight turn, after getting sushi and our drinks no one came back to us for another 15 minutes. And I am not exaggerating, I checked the time. When we inquired with the hostess she apologized and someone came to our table to take our orders for food immediately. But then it took another 10 minutes aprox to get our soup and/or salad. I don't understand where the disconnect was because they didn't appear to be busy at all. Once our cook arrived the experience got better. He was entertaining and full of energy. We all loved him.
