Nothing says welcome home like being able grab a quick lunch at Ninja Sushi after shopping at Costco! It was just what we needed to satisfy a small hunger pang. The service was so friendly and welcoming it was just like coming home to a family dinner! We got a chicken katsu bowl and natto roll so we wouldn't overeat before dinner which was just perfect! Not too big, not too small but just right! And it was all oh so ono too! Perfect katsu sauce flavor and the chicken was perfectly cooked. Parking is a little limited but it is right outside the front door. There are a decent number of tables in the dining room which seemed to be just right for the dine in patrons. There was a constant stream of takeout orders being picked up and or ordered so it is pretty obvious they've got a lot of regulars. I wanted to go back again before we left but just didn't have enough time... But I know we'll be back the next time we're out there! You should go check them out too! read more

Cashier needs training to give simple change. Food mediocre and went downhill, went previously couple weeks ago and had to skip even getting anything because the line never moved. Today Friday 5/23 service was quick thank goodness but the garlic Ahi I ordered... the fish is not fresh and stiff, way too much sauce, and rice is super hard. Super disappointed for 3 pieces for over $8 and I left a small tip so literally three dollars for one piece of sushi, unacceptable, mediocre. No wonder I haven't been back in ages. Have to skip this place from now on. The only saving Grace was the cashier was quick and efficient today. Amazed! read more

Update: I have been to both this location and the Mililani location several times since my last review. The staff here are awesome and quick! Not sure if they switched people with Mililani cause the last time I went there the guy at the order line literally rolled his eyes when I walked in.... I'm pretty sure it's a Gen Z thing or something cause I noticed almost everywhere they don't even tell you "Thank you for coming have a nice day!" They just give you your food with a blank stare. read more

Me: Did you want me to pick something up for us to snack on tonight while you out all of our kids to sleep? Wife: Yes, Ninja Sushi please. Me: *making sure they are open and is always nicely surprised they are open until 9pm* Also me: *the last customer that shows up right before closing* I always expect them to turn me down and say last call was 30 minutes ago but they don't! And the lady that works night on Friday's is friendly. Plus, that soft rock jams playlist they have on really brings it home. This place is a go-to for all your late night take-out sushi cravings. read more

First time at Ninja Sushi Waipio location. Staff was really nice and very helpful guiding us through their menu. Small and cozy dining room. Small private parking lot out front. Freshly made Sushi Bentos, combination Bentos, and an extensive menu of Nigiri sushi dishes. Very nice place for fast food sushi on the go. read more

Been twice and pretty sushi spot. Everything is reasonably priced. Great customer service and highly recommend.

My last visit here was a bit disappointing that I dumped half my meal having dry teriyaki that was just being heated up, and chicken being on the rubbery side. Jessie learned not to order those things. I figure to give this place another try looking like they did a rebrand serving alcohol on the other side. However I didn't see anyone there, but the staff seemed more energetic, and more welcoming. This time I tried there sushi and and two of there rolls. It wasn't as spectacular, but good enough to settle my sushi craving Overall it was a change for the better, and will come back again soon read more

I know times are hard, but come on. 5pc for $6.99. On a side note, my son said the calamari was fire, along with the rest of the sushi. read more

The family and I enjoy coming to this location because of the amazing Aloha and hospitality that Mindy has consistently provide to us every single visit. I'm telling you we come very often because of her genuine customer service. As soon as we and any customer steps foot in that door you always hear the welcoming Hello or Aloha from Mindy. Not to mention we enjoy the yummy bentos we always get or recommendations she suggests when we want to try something else. We appreciate you Mindy you make the ambiance very welcoming. Mahalo! read more

I love ninja sushi! It's such a fast go to for delicious to go sushi! I always order the spicy tuna salad, Kim chi udon and spicy tuna roll! They have so much other rolls as well but this order will leave you satisfied in every way! read more

I ordered online meaning paid for but had to stand in a long line to pick up I asked the cashier if there was a separate line for online and she said I had to stand in the line where customers were ordering and it was 1st come 1st serve. I won't order from here any more. That's the reason why order online so I can walk in pick up and walk out read more

The spam musubi is pretty good because it is made with sushi rice, and the spam is dressed with a nice thick teriyaki sauce. The gyoza wrapper is kind of thick, and a not too much filling. The dipping sauce tasted like straight up soy sauce, salty not a sauce ideal for dipping! read more

My significant other and I came at 2pm on Saturday, 10/28/2023. The aunty working the counter was nothing less than kind, friendly, and amazing. Her service was GREAT! I wish I got her name but I hope she gets to hear/see this review because she went above and beyond. And overall, maybe our dining experience perfect. Total for everything was $45, which is great for 2 people who are looking for fast, tasty sushi. I've always loved ninja sushi waipio, and I truly believe they are one of few places who works constantly towards better quality and presentation. They've made so many improvements. 10/10 read more

Awesome place to eat with the fam. We come here after our chiropractor appointment sometimes. Food is great.

Not good at all. Barely qualified as sushi. Restaurant itself was very gross, staff were rude and the sushi was not fresh and unappealing to look at, couldn't even finish and felt sick afterwards. read more

Great service and excellent sushi, not to mention friendly greeting. Always a good treat for some Ono sushi.

Stopped I here while I was waiting for an appointment in the same center. I was looking for something vegan and I figured Ninja would likely have something. Store was very clean and there were a few patrons already enjoying their meals. A small family was ahead of me and were quite undecided about what they wanted and had even more questions and it was about ten minutes in total. The guy helping them was patient and wasn't frustrated or impatient with them. That's speak volumes! The other help behind the counter was also friendly and one was also vegan and knew just what the offering were. I ordered Veggie Tempura Maki and Shinko Hosomaki (Oshinko Maki in Japanese). Both were very good and I especially enjoyed the Shinko. The vinegar/pickled taste was so good. I will be visiting them again soon! read more

I like here because it opens at 10am and that's very convenient for me. It has unique sushi rolls and nice bento and donburi. I like garlic hamachi. It tasted so good. It's $7.99 and has 3 pieces. Some rolls has half & half set (Maki-mono Combo Specials). The base roll is the same but topping is different. You can enjoy two types of roll half portions in one order. I like to variety of flavors so I like this combo. Combos are mostly $9.50 about $1 more than regular rolls but you can enjoy or try 2 flavors. Their spicy ahi is not that spicy but it was good. Staff is always nice and friendly. Store is clean so I feel safe. read more

Came here while waiting for some car service being done nearby. There is still COVID cautions being taken here, but is still offering dining-in.

A friend wanted sushi from here...having never tried it I figured I'd get something basic. Ahi nigiri and spicy ahi nigiri... Customer service was good for the limited interaction I had with the cashier... ...got home and opened my food. It looked okay. Super frozen looking, but again it's fast food sushi. Texture of the fish was weird. Kinda too firm compared to what I'm used to. Would probably opt out next time as it wasn't for me... read more

My son wanted sushi for his birthday so I told him to research where he wanted to pick up from in the leeward area. He decided to order from ninja sushi because he said from more then a year ago, he remembered he liked their sushi. We looked online for a platter, and from experience with other sushi places we thought only 1 platter wasn't enough so we ordered both the ono and o.l.t.d. set and was way more than enough, we could only finish 1 platter. All the sushi in the platter tasted so ono with a blend of different ingredients. One of the best I've eaten for a reasonable price. This ninja sushi is also so convenient because I could shop at Costco waipio while waiting for my order since they are right across from Costco, next to ups and starbucks. Because of covid, they offer take out only. I noticed if I order online, there is a 10 percent surcharge. I called and they said not supposed to have, but to avoid the surcharge I ordered by phone and paid at the restaurant when it was time to pick up my food. Definitely will order from them again. read more

My friends and I were looking for a small place that was quiet and had great food. We stumbled upon Ninja Sushi and lucked out as there is such a variety of items- more than just sushi. It made it difficult to decide what to order. The bonus was the friendly service. Mindy has got the right personality to be at the "front line!" Not to mention that the service is also quick. There was a steady flow of customer traffic; which is a great sign! Though we appreciated the fact that there were an ample amount of tables for us to choose from to sit and enjoy each others' company. We will definitely be back! Cuz there's still a lot of things I want to try! How about some veggie tempura? read more

Their sushi is pretty good, so many styles to choose from, from the simple nigiri kine to the more involved and pricier maki kine. Not gonna go into detail for each one I've purchased as sushi is sushi and Ninja gets you exactly that with no frills and nothing overly amazing. It's party sushi, lunch sushi, nothing fancy, but they hit the spot. And it's very easy to order online. My concern is with the lack of service. Every time, and I mean every time (this is at the Mililani location) I've walked up to the register, the reception is cold and not friendly (each time was with someone very youthful). If I'm buying several stacks of sushi and whatever else that turns out to be a big order, at least show a little appreciation for supporting your business, rather than make me feel like I'm inconveniencing you because you have to bag plenty stuff. And don't throw the shoyu packets in the bag either. Not a good look. So, please work on that, guys. Thanks. Other than that, keep pumping out enjoyable sushi. read more

Value: Depending what you order it could be good bang for your buck but keep in mind that the fish is not fresh. Service: mediocre service both over the phone and in person. Food: I personally normally only eat fresh fish but in this area there isn't much selection. grandma was craving sushi and wanted some thing simple which is why we came here after doing our grocery shopping at Costco. this was Grandma's first time trying their spicy Aji on for someone who can't handle heat she said that this was something she'd order again. I on the other hand, do you prefer it a little hotter and the texture of the non-fresh fish was a little off-putting. overall, for about $12.50 a bento, it wasn't a bad deal for sushi. Parking: This is located in the small lot next to Costco Waipio. depending on the time of day, you could get a front stall parking or you may have to do around. The stalls are tight so I always like to park on the end because my car has gotten scratched in this lot before. read more

Ninja Sushi - three trays of different types of sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Waipahu, Hawaii

Order some items for take out to bring to the airport. I ordered the Superman Maki, Spam Maki and California Maki. All the dishes were freshly made, tasted good and probably a lot less cheaper than buying food at the airport. I would recommend this business and will definitely frequent it again. read more

Decent sushi for a fast food type sushi chain. I like their Dynamite Sushi. Cashier seems customer service oriented. Prices were reasonable. No dine in allowed at this time. Nothing really to complain about except for the parking lot which is usually congested. Tip#1 There's a little known parking lot exit behind Fatboys to get to Uke'e street if you want avoid the traffic getting out of the lot. Tip#2 Avoid entering their small congested parking lot in the first place and park by Costco instead. read more

Good food Always friendly customer service Love goin to this ninja sushi Thank you read more

My favorite Ninja Sushi location. Hands down. I love that you can place a phone order, or even better, you can order takeout or delivery through Yelp! This location also has tons of parking. I decided to come here consistently before I wrote a review because fast food sushi scares me. Sometimes you get what you pay for and sometimes you hit the jackpot. Here, I feel like I hit the jackpot. Quality sushi every time I come here. Every. Time. The fish is always fresh and it's consistently fresh, no flukes here. I'm so surprised to see such low ratings for this place. My favorite thing to get is the spicy ahi. Who doesn't love spicy ahi?! I've ordered the spicy ahi salad, spicy ahi donburi, and I've ordered lbs of the spicy ahi just so that I can make my own spicy ahi bowl at home or at work. I may have an addiction problem and I ain't mad. If you love spicy ahi, you won't be disappointed! Pinky promise. read more

Ninja Sushi - Spicy Ahi Salad - Sushi Bars Near Me - Waipahu, Hawaii

This is my fave Ninja Sushi location. The service is always great and the food is prompt. I love their spicy ahi salad and bento. The salad dressing is super good, like a sweet chili mixed with a creamy sesame seed. You get both in separate containers and I love to mix them. My kids love the tamago. I also appreciate how they switched to takeout so they didn't discriminate against people based on their medical choices. I am very mindful of where I spend my money and support businesses that continue to practice aloha through all these discriminatory mandates. read more

Costs have gone up, but they have fast, friendly service and a good selection. The quality is good and if I'm ready to splurge a little and am in the neighborhood, I'd choose this place again read more

I go here at least once a week. They pack their sushi which you can't go wrong with a stuffed portion! I love their lobster maki. Staff is always friendly, it can get a little busy during the 11-12:30 lunch window though, so calling may be hard to get through, otherwise worth the wait! read more

First time here. Mindy was so nice and welcoming! The menu is a little different from the location I usually go to so Mindy explained the menu and portion sizes. The portion size was good as well as the taste. read more

This place is nice to go to if you're looking for a quick sushi fix. I came here on a Monday night to catch up with a friend over dinner. It was pretty empty so it was a good place to just sit, talk & enjoy a meal without feeling rushed. I ordered the tiger roll which had shrimp tempura, spicy ahi and masago for $10. I enjoyed my roll for the most part, it had the right amount of spice. I can see myself ordering it again in the future. read more

Ninja Sushi - Tiger roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Waipahu, Hawaii

I've been here a couple times and all times have not been a disappointment. I actually enjoy their food here! I'd even say they're a bit better than Genki Sushi and even a bit cheaper. I love the option Yelp has that allows me to order take out through their app! Its so convenient and gives accurate pick up time. Also, the prices don't change much for the service. I've ordered their spicy ahi poke bowl and shoyu poke bowl. The portion size is just right for its price point. The spicy has a kick to it the more you eat it which I thought was great. Their nigiris are served in threes which I thought for the price was reasonable in comparison to other sushi spots. We've had the salmon and ebi (shrimp). Both yummy! All which satisfies your quick sushi cravings. I think this place is underrated and hasn't gotten its credit where its due. I love the fast service and friendly atmosphere. Will be back here again when I crave a poke bowl. read more

Ninja sushi is definitely my go-to when I cannot figure out what to eat. I always get their spicy ahi donburi. There is a good amount of sauce on it, however i've noticed the rice to fish ratio is a little off as there is a bit too much rice compared to fish. My boyfriend got the dynamite chicken donburi and for him, there wasn't enough sauce on it. Also, there was a lot of rice compared to chicken as well. However, both were still very good. The dynamite maki was pretty good & had a good amount of sauce! read more

I'm warning any future customer of the "shady/sketchy" practice when placing an online order with Ninja Sushi. Upon placing my order in the cart, I gave my tip and hit "place my order." Without any indication anywhere, I was hit with a "service charge." This isn't for using a credit card but for ordering online. When I arrived, I asked the staff behind the counter about the service charge, she wasn't aware of any. I was referred to the manager who also wasn't aware of any service charge. He asked for my name and number and said he'll get back to me - that was 4 days ago! So basically if I called in my order and paid at the store, I wouldn't have been charged a "service fee." Never ordering from Ninja Sushi again! read more
