I just killed a Caterpillar roll, Special Mexican roll, Bebe roll and Ninja lobster roll with my family. It's the best sushi I had in the Tampa area. Supper fresh, full of flavor and superb service. Don't let the outside appearance fool you, you will not be disappointed. read more

Wife and I stopped in for lunch on a Thursday afternoon. Wasn't too busy. The service was quick an professional. The food was really good. We will return in the future. read more

I'm bummed writing this review. I used to love this place. Ever since they switched locations it's seemed like everything from quality to common sense has gone out the window. We came in this evening and ordered food as usual. The waitress left us for twenty minutes as we were waiting for drinks while there were only two other tables with people at them. Had to ask for a sushi menu and we were given one without a pen/pencil so we had to remember what we wanted to order before the waitress returned 20 mins later again. One dish was delivered improperly (we received a chirashi bowl with rice when we had ordered a spicy sashimi bowl with salad only) but we were hungry so ate it anyways and left the rice. Everything else was just bland and awful. Then my cousin pulls a HAIR!! out of her mouth after taking a bite of the chirashi bowl. The waitress said she'd remove the item from the menu...and goes to do so but removes the cheapest item. Asked her to correct it and she does so. I'd also might add that her hair was all up in her face and hanging over the front of her shoulders so I wouldn't be surprised if it were hers. We went shopping after and all three of us became violently ill, which had never happened before as we eat sushi once a week, at least. I'm so disappointed. I literally never right reviews but I'm just so bummed that I felt I had to say something. read more

No impressed... little to pricy bfor what you get and the service was very bad... it was dead and it still took over 10 minutes to get someone to take a drink order and we sat a the sushi bar,then it took an another 10 minutes for her to bring 2 beers... food was medicore at best.. I had high hopes for this place but I will not be back read more

My sushi was definitely overpriced but very tasty. The Korean dish my boyfriend got was extremely hot and seemed like a bit more food. The soup for an app had way to many onions. Overall the experience was average. read more

Visited a few weeks ago and while waiting for my sushi, I saw three roaches in the restaurant. One crawled up my leg. Also, the sushi chef was making his rolls right next to the trash can where there were a few flies. Raw fish is pretty temperamental anyway. No need to introduce filthiness as well. read more

If you like sushi this is one of the best places to go. Incredible variety of roles and their sushimi is as close ad it gets to Japanese authenticity. Having lived in Japan for over year I find this one of the closest places for authentic sushi still not quite as good as Being in Japan but it's pretty good. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a great variety of rolls and such. read more

Since my move to Tampa I have been hunting for a great sushi spot with amazing sushi and also with great service and I must say this place nailed it ! Not only do I enjoy each sushi I try their I also enjoy being with their staff and I must say they have gained a regular customer from me . A must check out pot read more

This is closer to a 2.5 star review but the good service kept me from giving it a 2. I think a huge redeeming quality about this place is that it has an enormous sushi menu with many interesting options. My absolute favorite is the Bahama cruise which has fried coconut shrimp and is topped with mango and a pina colada drizzle. The price can get very expensive for what I expect. Don't get me wrong, the sushi tastes great but the ambiance does not reflect the menu price. I also tried the udon noodle soup which was pretty disappointing as it was bland and lacked any special quality. The fried ice cream was not good either, but I have high expectations for fried ice cream so I'm not sure if that is fair (the quality of the ice cream tasted similar to an off-brand vanilla ones they sell in huge quarts at wal-mart). I wish they would put as much attention and quality to their other food items like they do their sushi, if they did that this place could be a solid 4. read more

Sushi Ninja - Brandon - Delicious sushi assortment, you must try the Bahama cruise, my favorite! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Brandon, Florida

See all

Pretty much the best sushi in Brandon. Friendly staff, relatively quiet location, interesting decor.

Good sushi... This is by far my wife's favorite. She likes tempura bagel roll the best.

Fantastical sushi! Great inventive sushi. They have very fresh fish. I highly recommend this place! It's a Brandon hidden gem.

Went here for lunch for the first time and WOW everything was so delicious. All you can eat sushi for a good price, all fresh and great service. read more

1st time here. Great customer service sushi was soooooo fresh and yummy. Definitely will be back!

When we moved up to Tampa from the Keys we were worried that finding a sushi place worth a damn would be difficult. It was not, Sushi Ninja is excellent. Their portions are perfect and everything tastes spot on. The waitresses are very nice and remember us when we go in, great sushi place. read more

This is near my house and never upset to stop by. I love my tuna tataki and others roll from here. Always have a fresh sushi rice and sashimi. Just love this place no matter I ordered, always awesome. read more

I love this place! You can not go wrong with anything you order. They are a little pricey but SSOOO worth it!

The sushi is always fantastic and the rest of the menu is good too. I did not offer a 5 star because the service is hit or miss. If the owner is in the service is amazing, when she's not you can tell the difference right away . Slower to visit your table, have to ask for things twice. I still recommend people try this place because the sushi is that good. read more

Wow this is great sushi in a strip mall. Fresh tasty lots of new favorites. Crazy Ninja to die for. South Tampa is incredible Don't miss out on the Gem! read more

Love Sushi Ninja !! We have been eating here for 16 years. They opened the new location and it is even better!! A great date night spot!!

Great service, great experience and amazing sushi. Looking forward to coming back with Friends..

One of our favorite places to go eat in Brandon and I don't even eat sushi. From those who do it is the best sushi in the area. Its a small place and sometimes service can be slightly slow but I don't think we've had a bad meal here yet. read more

I have been here a few times. The last time was for my hubby's birthday. This place by far has the best sushi in the Brandon area! I like to start off with the tempura veggies which is always delicious! I think my 2 favorite rolls are the orgasm roll and the Mexican. I remember the first time I tried the orgasm roll and thought "what a funny name" but it suits it perfectly! Because it was my hubby's birthday we got a free roll which was unexpected but nice. Price was slightly expensive but worth it. The service was great. The location is very hidden and feels like a hole in the wall but that's ok. It's also pretty small so I'm not sure if there would be a long wait time if it was busy in there but each time we have gone it's been super fast and efficient. If you like good sushi I would highly recommend this place. read more

The best sushi place in Brandon and probably all of Tampa. I have not eaten at all of them yet. Prices have gone up since the last time I ate there but still well worth the money. I ordered the Tuna dinner with spicy tuna roll, tuna sashimi and tuna sushi. Super fresh and very well presented. The staff is very attentive and helpful. read more

Reasonable prices, great food; we have never been disappointed. My husband and I have been going here for years and this place is the best! The food is always fresh and the service, while not the fastest, is excellent. The food takes time to prepare as everything is made fresh. Try the TNT Mussels, Spider Roll and Screaming Orgasm (some of our favorites). read more

Was craving some sushi for lunch. Wait staff was nice, My wife played it safe and got teriyaki chicken while I ordered a Hannah roll and Ninja beef. Teriyaki chicken was really juicy and soft without being chewy. The Hannah roll had a sweet green sauce on top which was something new. The ninja beef was marinated well, the rice wasn't undercooked which I've seen at some places. Definitely recommend. read more

We really want to like this place. Really. It's just hit-or-miss too often. The good: (1) it's in a pretty easily accessible part of Brandon/Valrico next to the Publix on Bloomingdale and Bell Shoals. (2) It's never too crowded. (3) they have a HUGE list of available rolls with a large variety of fish and accompaniments. (4) The fish tastes pretty decent and fresh. The bad: (1) They frequently --- I mean so often you notice it! --- run out of rice. I mean, we have been there on at least 4 different occasions where they had no rice to make the sushi, and we had to wait an extra 30 minutes or so for food. (2) They do not wrap their rolls tightly. It's not "awful" but it is annoying to pick up a piece with chopsticks and it literally unrolls before you can eat it. (3) Their waitstaff...well, it's strange. They sit at the bar and talk and eat and play around with the sushi chefs while they make the food. I understand that they are friends, but I always feel like I am interrupting them if I ask for something. It's weird to watch your waitress eat while you are also eating. It feels unclean when she stands up, brushes her hands on her pants, and then serves you food. Again, this has happened more than once. If you don't mind easily waiting an hour for a couple of rolls, it's not a horrible choice. Just be prepared for REALLY slow service and "eh...it's not AWFUL" sushi. read more

It is good but sometimes they have off days,and one time we ordered a roll with lobster in it and it tasted like vomit. So it was expensive and we could not eat it,but other times the food has been good. We recommend it if your in the area. read more

Sushi ninja is absolutely beautiful, no doubt about it! the atmosphere and the environment is quite nice and calm. The hospitality is welcoming and everyone is on top of their work making sure to give you good customer service. Though the customer service is good-great the food is okay. I was a little disappointed when i had ordered the first time because the potential for the food could have been great! for the pricing, i did not feel as if it had met the right point for what was served. I think Sushi Ninja has great potential but i think the prices should either be lowered a bit or some things should be changed about the food. I usually order sushi and i would recommend it to friends and family if they wanted something for a night out without worrying about spending. read more

This place is a gem. They have recently moved into a brand new AMAZING space in the same shopping center. The food has always been great, but now the atmosphere is equally as impressive. Totally check them out. You will not be disappointed. read more

My family love this restaurant! I like sushi my hubby likes noodle and my sun likes pork cutlets.It's very fantastic expirience-!!!!!!

I've been coming to this restaurant for at least 7 years. The fish is very fresh, and there are myriad rolls to choose from. Mimi, the owner, is wonderful. She invents rolls to send to my table when I'm celebrating a birthday or milestone at Ninja. She remembers everyone's names, occupations, kids, etc. it's like Cheers with better food. read more

Sushi Ninja is at the top of my list when it comes to sushi restaurants. The sushi rolls are diverse, original, and absolutely delicious. It is a small place, and the staff is fantastic. The waitresses are very friendly and attractive too. The only negative is the price is a bit on the higher side. However, it is well worth it. My personal favorites for rolls are Mt. Fuji and Fish Hawk. However, every roll is above average! read more

Love this sushi place! Have ordered to go many times and also eaten in. Very fresh and delicious and a very good variety of choices (both cooked and raw)! The Fishhawk is unlike anything I've ever had and one of our favorites. read more

I really like this place. The food is really good we had four rolls and two hand rolls. The price was average for good sushi. The only thing I had issue with was the service, the girls were all sitting at a table looking at their phones and talking. If I owned this business my first rule is NO PHONES!! They were very nice just preoccupied with socializing with each other. Our food came out fast but was missing the appetizer. When I asked about it she just seemed like it was no big deal that she did not put it in. Nothing here that could not be corrected by management. They could get that fifth star easy!!! I will go back like I said the food was really good. read more

I go here often and it's great everytime. The selection is great and has many rolls you've probably seen before (California, Spicy Tuna, etc.) and many ones that are more local, (Tampa, FishHawk, and various ones named after people.) The ingredients in the rolls are fresh and if you're not a sushi expert the people can help you. The service is great and everyone is friendly. In my opinion, best sushi in the area. read more

Best sushi around. Mimi is great to talk with and always so nice. Vivian is friendly and very friendly. love eating here.

Best sushi and our favorite place! Mimi and her staff make some pretty fabulous rolls!

Delicious sushi! And the decor is beautiful! My friend took me recently and I was blown away! So much selection and prepared so well!

This is a little known secret in the Brandon, Florida area. There isn't a lot of seating, but is not typically very crowded. They have excellent sushi - I've been to many more expensive places, but their quality is superb ! The waitress/waiters are always friendly & the cost is reasonable - read more
