Not great sushi, this is the first time I've seen a greenish color on tuna, I didn't eat it. I've kept trying this place through the years because its been one of two mainstream local sushi joints, but tonight ended it. Auburn needs a Mikuni ( high quality) sushi joint!!! read more

Do NOT go here if you like quality and attention to detail. I recently gave this place a second try after being thoroughly disappointed with a Chirashi a couple weeks ago (humongous, stringy, and warm pieces of fish slopped on a small portion of rice) and I was again EXTREMELY let down. I ordered a Fancy roll (it was okay) and two spicy scallop handrolls. The chef does not give a sh*t. First, he forgot one of the handrolls and seemed SO inconvenienced when the server politely made him get out of his chair (it was slow) and make another one. Okay, here's where I was irked. I spent some time as a sushi chef. It literally take a few minutes to put scallops in a bowl and mix together some ingredients to make a delicious handroll. This guy put raw, unseasoned scallops in a hastily assembled "handroll" (which promptly fell apart when I picked it up) and put a squirt of sriracha and a sprinkle of masago on top. THAT IS NOT A SPICY SCALLOP HANDROLL!!! That is flavorless crap that I paid WAY too much for. DO NOT go here expecting quality food. End rant. read more

I went on sat myself down and ordered. The atmosphere was great however we were two out of four people sitting. Service was great. I did notice imitation crab was mixed in with my food... and won't order anything with crab again. I will stick to the spicy tuna and salmon . I did feel rushed because it was near 3 and they close from 3-5 and mentioned it a couple times. We were in and out by 315. Didn't realize the hours. read more

One word "YUM"! I love this place. It is casual and the people are very friendly. The rolls are fresh and good sized. Great variety and my kids love it too. We go here on a regular basis. Highly recommend it! read more

Praying that we don't get food poisoning. Gross... and expensive. Half of what we ordered was not edible. The fish was low quality and not fresh. Rolls were sloppy and drowned in sickly sweet sauce. Never again. read more

I love this place and I come here all the time! The service is usually great and the food is AMAZING. I highly recommend the Spicy Big Mac roll. Tonight, however the service was awful. Being that it is Saturday night, they close at 10:00 p.m. Since I was running late tonight and I wanted a decent meal I decided this was the place to go. I arrived at around 9:30 and when I asked to be seated the waitress only responded with a blank stare and then proceeded to tell me that No, I could not sit down and I had to order to go. She was not nice in any way whatsoever, and I had to stand waiting for my order, wasn't even offered a soda or anything. Why are you gonna close at 10:00 and not let your PAYING customers sit down and enjoy their food. read more

This is just a average sushi joint. U have to order through the waitress, which I hate!!! Part of the sushi experience is talking with your chef. There is none of that here! The food was good and fresh, but nothing that will blow u away.... The decore is the usual sushi house stuff, nothing special. Overall this is just an average place. Nice place to cure a craving, but has the same ole sushi items! read more

One of the best sushi playes in a while all of the food is very nice and does not taste bland it taste very good with many flavors and will not disappoint really anyone and also the cost is good read more

This is where the locals go for their sushi. Why? Because unlike the other sushi place down the street, Ninja doesn't put a 200% markup on their prices AND the sushi is FAR better! Feeling a little wild? Try something on the specials board! I typically stick to the amazing California Rolls but my daughter loves the Dragon rolls, which are so very cleverly made and she absolutely loves them! My husband is more of a "cooked food" kinda guy so the dinner plates make him happy. Overall, probably the best sushi place in Northern Cali in my humble opinion. Oh and the place is cute as all getout! read more

The beef teriyaki was like beef jerky. The chicken teriyaki was skimpy on avocado. Both Rolls couldn't even be taken off the play without falling apart. I did enjoy The miso soup. The Gyoza was good also. read more

Here on business and our client raved about this place and heck I'm always up for sushi. The decor was atypical of sushi restaurants as the interior was a dark crimson red with a mod feel. The portions are very large! On top of the hamachi and tuna we ordered, we each ordered the sushi lunch special which consisted of an embellished California roll (had a mayo based sauce over it) and a spicy tuna roll with a tempura coating. The consistency was just right and it had a spicy bite to it. I was very full when we left. I did notice that one of the pieces of sushi was a bit stringy. Overall, I left very satisfied. It doesnt have the ambience of a typical sushi bar but I can imagine the place would be more rockin' in the evenings. The menu has a large range of unique rolls I've never heard of and this is a good place to bring a novice sushi eater too. The only disappointment was they didnt have green tea. read more

Sushi rolls were good, we ordered Auburn rolls, Saki sushi, Maguro sushi. Also miso soups, edamame and a poke salad. It's a big disappointment of the poke salad. Cost 13.95 for few tuna chunks but lots of Costco type bagged sweet seaweed salad plus few lettuce mixed together. It's extremely sweet, thick syrup sauce. Boyyyy...I almost got sugar a attack after few bites. I ate poke salad at different places before, this is the worst ... read more

As I first walked in, we were greeted and told to seat ourselves. It was about a half full restaurant and we were greeted immediately at our table. Extremely fast service and great food!! The miso soup and edamame are free while waiting for the main courses which are also a great price. I ordered a golden California and a black ninja. Both delicious! Great prices, service, and food. No disappointments the two times that i've been here. read more

This place is decent. The service was good. The hostess was nice. We had Flaming dragon roll, which has an unique presentation. They wrappedff foil around it and have a fire burning around it. So we had that roll, Pepperfin, sashimi plate(salmon, tuna, hamachi, yellowfin), Oyster shooters. The roll was good, it tasted similar to a spider roll. The sashimi could have been better. The fish was not the freshest. I want to say it had a fishy aftertaste, but after all it was sashimi. I can't really describe the aftertaste. The same is the same for the pepperfin. The oyster shooter was excellent. Went down smooth. I couldn't taste the alcohol or the oyster. The location is in the older part of Auburn, CA. The location is kind of hard to find if your not local. All in all had a decent visit. read more

Very friendly people, but the place was not very comfortable. My Miso soup was forgotten first, but then I received it with a nice smile. The california rolls weren't that good but the nigiri I had were fabulous. read more

Auburn is not known for its ocean cuisine, but walking into Ninja Sushi, you know they're going to have good quality, good service, and a good experience. We usually have a ridiculous group of about 10 people when we go, and 4 out of 5 times, we end up scoring free sake bombs and the whole restaurant starts cheering you on. The food is reasonably priced and their staff actually understands you when you order so you don't look like a chump trying to explain 15 times your allergic to something or other. read more

Good for the sushi beginner, bad for the raw fish expert. Service is friendly, but slow, and the restaurant is pretty cute and small. I had the Sari's Special roll, which was a goo combination of flavors, but the fish on top wasn't great. Not bad or anything, just didn't taste super fresh and delicious. Other than that, we had the edamame, gyoza, and miso, which were all good, and the people I was with had the freaky David roll and the David's special roll, which they both liked (especially freaky David) but I'm lactose-intolerant so I stay away from rolls with cream or cheese. Overall a fine place, but I prefer Hanami read more

Not the best sushi in town, but they offer a wide variety of sushi rolls, most of them the Americanized, way over-board type. Almost everyone of them has something fried in it and way too many things in them to enjoy the flavors. read more

I love these guys. The staff is really friendly and accommodating and not to mention very quick service. Brian the sushi chef is really great - Seems to always remember a face - A very nice personal touch. Lots of choices, enough to make your head spin, but everything we've tried has been great! My only complaint would be the sports on the TV and the lack of mood lighting - Kinda messes with the vibe, but not enough to knock a star off of my rating. Ninja Sushi, you're holding it down in Auburn - Thanks! read more

It's been years since I've eaten here and I wasn't that impressed this time around. Too much mayo and poor ratio of rice to fish. They have a large selection and a nice enough staff but the food is average. read more

We had a great experience tonight, our first time here. The seafood was fresh and delicious, the sauces were classic but had a unique individuality, and the service was excellent. We'll be back. read more

Typically really like this place. Food is consistently good. Have had a few service issues before but nothing to prevent me from coming back. Also It would be nice if they opened on time! read more

Ninja Sushi is our favorite in town. We went there for Valentine's Dinner. We had the Caterpillar and the Freaky David. The Freaky David comes to the table on fire. We also love the Rock-n-Roll. read more

Whoa.. I really thought that there was no such thing as bad sushi and I was wrong. Rice was dry, fish tasted off and even the service was meh. I would pass on this one. You have been warned. read more

I love this place. The owner is awesome and loves to give out Sake Bombs and the staff is sooo nice!! The Kayla Special roll is my favorite, yummy!! I recommend this place if your in Auburn and looking for good sushi. read more

This place was amazing. Simply put amazing. Coming home from a vacation in Tahoe we decided to stop here and try it out. We were in for a great meal. The waiter was very friendly and all the food was incredible. Highly recommended. read more

Ninja Sushi - This is the ocean roll. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Auburn, California

I come here all of the time! Love the auburn roll and the crunch dragon! Amazing service, great people, and priced fairly! Love this place!

Fantastic prompt service, very fresh, and skilled sushi craftsman.

Ninja Sushi is very delicious. The atmosphere is very pleasant and relaxed, and they show sports, but without the sound. Their sushi is amazing, and they offer as many different kinds of rolls as I have seen. Their sushi chefs are friendly and fast, but the rolls and nigiri do not suffer. They do not have much beyond sushi, but what they do is also very good. I have gone several times over several years and never had a bad experience. read more

I have made this my go to spot for sushi. The fish is fresh, the service is great and everyone makes you feel right at home. The new owner, Jay, goes out of his way too be sure everything is right and to make it an enjoyable experince. After reading the reviews it makes me wonder if those people are ever satisfied or if they just slam everyone. read more

Oops, called ninja sushi at closing time. Not only did they answer the phone, they gladly took my order,and stayed around until I picked up my order nearly 20 minutes later. My sushi was wonderful as always, highly recommended!!!!!!!!! read more

I am always looking for a good sushi restaurant. Living in Auburn I have not been so lucky. Ninja Sushi in downtown has a great menu and seem to be the best in town. The rolls I have had were complex and delicious, but short and sliced so thin they were almost impossible to eat. When you try to pick them up with chopsticks they fall apart and cannot be dipped. Eating with a fork what mess you are left with seems to be last resort.. read more

Under new ownership again. But this time, it is different. The new owners are awesome! They seem to be a husband wife team and they are very involved and the sweetest people ever. The menu is new and the food has improved. The rolls here are large and fancy. Sometimes on fire, always tasty. I personally prefer a more traditional style sushi restaraunt with simple flavoring in the rice and very fresh ingredients. Also, I am a sucker for ume shiso rolls and they do not have that. I like smaller bites. But they do have a good miso soup, salad and kids meals are only $5! We go here a lot. read more

Servers are so nice, best customer service. So many rolls to choose from. The rolls and portions are big and filling. I highly recommend eating here!!! :) read more

Good service, but less than quality sushi. I'm giving it one star because of the overpricing along with the bad sushi.

Soso. Food is fine. Service is blah. Environment is a 2

Another fantastic meal at Ninja Sushi last night. We've tried the other sushi places in Auburn several times, but we always end up back here. Jay and the whole staff are great! Always attentive and friendly. The fish is always fresh, delicious and presented beautifully. Portions are good. They offer a great selection of rolls. I've never ordered anything here that was not excellent! IMHO, Ninja is the only choice for sushi in Auburn. read more

Well I don't know what kind of experience everyone else had but mine and my wife's was beyond great! The stuffed jalapeños were by far the best appetizer I have ever had. Then to follow we got a massive amount of sushi all of which was great! The owner was extremely nice as well! Definitely going back! read more

I love this please but, there is no menu online for take out orders, and EVERY time I call to place a pick up order, no one answers. Especially on sundays. Really annoying. But, their rolls are bomb. read more

Fresh, tasty sushi in a town where that seems hard to come by. Very friendly staff, they never seem to mind the sprinkling of rice my son leaves on the floor. I agree with other reviews that the menu is way too long. My eyes glaze over and I end up ordering the same things every time. My fave is the crunchy dragon roll. read more
