If you’re used to a higher standard, the quality of the sushi isn’t the best. It just didn’t seem fresh and I think you can get better for a lower price elsewhere. The staff are nice though!

I recently dined at Ninja Sushi and I was blown away by incredible cuisine and chef’s exceptional skill. The food was fresh,sustainable ingredients expertly prepared. Sushi rolls were tightly wrapped. The salmon sashimi was fresh, buttery,melt-in-your-mouth. I have been to all the sushi restaurants in Ocala, and I can say this is the best sushi restaurant in Ocala! I will be absolutely return!!!

We use to frequent here often and the sushi was always perfect and delicious. Last time we came it wasn’t what we were used to from here and just figured maybe it was a bad day for the chef or something. Well today probably makes it my last time coming here. Every roll just fell apart and needed a spoon to eat them with and the Godzilla roll was so deep fried the sushi inside was all cooked into well done fish and that was just nasty. Sad to see how down hill this place has gone.

Very bland food and we ordered a large shrimp fried rice and it’s the smallest fried rice order I’ve ever seen.

We wanted to try a new sushi grill place today, and Ninja Sushi & Thai was open on Labor Day, so off we went. The restaurant is on the smaller side with about 15 tables. Parking was plentiful on a Monday evening, so we got a spot near the entrance. We seated ourselves in a booth since the hostess was busy and there were no "please wait to be seated" signs. Waitstaff was nice and polite, very accommodating (brunette with really nice nails - Crystal?). Our order was taken soon after we sat down, and food was served about 15 minutes after. Crunchy noodles and orange sauce were served as the free appetizer (the equivalent of bread and a pad of butter at American restaurants). Single-occupancy bathrooms were clean and stocked.
The order (in order of being served): • 2 hot green tea in a tiny metal teapot 4☆ • Miso soup plus salad with ginger dressing 5☆ • Sashimi (4.5☆; fish was fresh, just not as fresh as expected. 20 pieces, 4 each of salmon, maguro tuna, yellowtail tuna, white tuna, octopus) • Veggie roll wrapped in soy paper (4.5☆; last 2 rolls were loose/ fell apart before being eaten like there wasn't enough tightness to the wrap) • Filet mignon with noodles & veggies (3☆ this was my husband's order, and the lower rating was due to the overly oily taste / texture of the food overpowering the actual taste) • Takoyaki Balls appetizer (4.5☆, never tried this and thought I'd give it a try since I enjoy octopus. Crunchy on the outside, creamy filling, with fish flakes on top and some sort of soy sauce paste on the bottom.)
Overall, the service was excellent. The food, location, and pricing were just OK. No offense, but It feels like this place got its better ratings from people that haven't had sashimi or hibachi from authentic Japanese restaurants in or near NYC. People who are somewhat new to Asian cuisine and used to American food might like this place better than we did. Thanks for being our Labor Day 2024 date night place. ✨️
Love this rest. my favorite sushi in the area. Fresh, and good quality sushi. You will not be sorry you went.

My husband and I have been to MANY sushi restaurants and this one TOWERS above ALL from our server Chrystal who was just so sweet & helpful and cute as a button to the ginger dressing on their salads and the absolute BEST volcano roll ??
