HIYAH! This place is the perfect to go for a group outing! Whether it's your kid's birthday party or a night of drinks with your friends, this place will keep you entertained. After coming off the elevator, you are ushered through an underground ninja village, to your group's private dinning area. The ambiance is absolutely perfect and the entire staff are dressed like ninjas and they try to startle you at any given moment.
Really great drinks and... really, really, some of the most creative food presentations I have ever seen. Not to mention, everything is actually quite delicious. Sushi, shrimp, calamari, chicken, and perfectly cooked steak.. there's really something there that everyone can enjoy.
And finally, you top the night off with a fun and interactive close-up magic show.
Here's the thing.. it can be quite expensive. I said 'HIYAH' when I saw the bill in the end. But you know what, you really get so much when you go there, and it is such a blast. I give it 4.5 ninja stars!

Love this place! So entertaining and fun. Great if you have kids or just want a fun and different dining experience with friends. A tip about the food: the dragon roll is huge so that can be shared among many people. Also, get the miso lobster bisque - great soup! Be prepared to be delighted!

I went into Ninja Sushi expecting a gimmicky themed restaurant with mediocre, overpriced food but figured it could be fun nonetheless. I'm really glad to report that I was very pleasantly surprised!
The ambiance was fun, the service was great, the price was factually rather affordable, and the sushi was genuinely delicious! The ninja shtick was actually really fun and light-hearted. The tables are also partioned off from each other giving your group more privacy, which is a pleasant rarity I'm not used to finding in New York.
My group ordered several rolls, drinks, and appetizers and we genuinely liked everything we ordered. The Ninja Martinis were delicious, the Dragon Roll was as tasty as it was visually appealing, and the free dessert they gave us for my friend's birthday was an extremely nice touch to an overall great experience.
This is a fun restaurant that is definitely worth trying when you get the chance.

The service was excellent and the experience was a LOT of fun. I won't share pics of the inside, because I don't want to spoil it.
The food was great, and the presentation was spectacular. Unlike expensive places with small servings, the servings were generous, yet were presented like gourmet food.
I can't wait to go here again!

Absolutely amazing venue and staff. Walking through the restaurant feels like adventure. We got the beer tower and sake combo. The strawberry sake was delicious! The steak was very good and the sushi rolls were solid, but bit the best I've ever had. Its absolutely worth the experience of this restaurant.

The staff were in full character from the moment you go down the elevator. The food was very good and they were super conscious of allergies. A great family restaurant with surprises at every step of the way.

When I entered the restaurant, I was automatically greeted and taken care of . My date and I were sent down a few floors into a creepy tunnel , which had twists and turns. The waiters / waitresses can make or break your experience. I was fortunate enough to have encountered a few amazing severs . They had great enthusiasm , and they made it there business to make sure my date and I had a wonderful Ninja experience, right down to the last minute. The food is okay , but constant ninja attacks make this restaurant really fun . My favorite dish was the macaroni and cheese with mushrooms and bacon. This restaurant does not skimp on the food , so be prepared to get a plate that will definitely satisfy you. I had the treat of a magician visiting my table . He was amazing , and hilarious at the same time . Fun experience, I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who has kids, or to anyone who is looking to having a thrilling experience.

The overall experience here was great! The theme works seamlessly throughout the restaurant and the service staff appear to all be very coordinated. The cocktails were solid and the happy hour provides a great deal. I loved the food as well, miso lobster bisque and the sushi rolls were on point! In my opinion you might wanna stay away from the meat options like the lamb or steak as I found it was probably their only weak point. 10/10 would go back when visiting New York.

Amazing experience and the best part was the magician in the end. It's the best place for kids and a semi fun for adults. The presentation of the food was really well.

Very entertaining place to visit. We have visited this place for many years and every time we enjoy a lot. When friends and family members visiting NYC, especially from overseas this is one the best place for sushi. Very creative presentation of meals and desserts. Also as an option they have talented magicians who will make your stay enjoyable. My 3 year daughter very liked her order on kids menu, they brought in very cute Japanese style castle. If you're looking for nice sushi with entertainment, this one is highly recommended.

Wonderful “experience” and delicious food! The place was nicely decorated with different locations available for seating. We sat in the “Rock Garden” area and had an area that felt semi- private tucked away in a corner. Plenty of entertainment and noises to keep our kids entertained and not affect other parties.
The presentation was the most fun part of the meal. We ordered both versions of the kids meal- one in a three tiered pagoda style building and the other presented with smoke (dry ice in water). My prime ribeye was presented with a “Ring of Fire” and the Ninja Star cake was presented in a fun and interactive way.
Food overall was delicious. Sushi was very fresh, the steak was perfectly cooked served with a slightly spicy sauce (definitely recommended).
The price is a little on the higher end but nothing out of the ordinary for downtown prices. I think the experience, presentation, and quality of food definitely make Ninja NY a tremendous value and worth the visit.

It's a little overrated but everyone should try this place at least once! There's a lot of jump scares!! If you don't like being put off guard with a sword in your face while you're eating this place probably isn't for you!

This place was so so fun. I took my bf there as a surprise for his bday. He's Asian decent and loves the culture. He wasn't expecting it and loved everything about it. He and his friends enjoyed the ninjas jumping out and everything. The food was delicious. Very authentic Japanese cooked. I had the salmon and we had a few appetizers among us and my bf had the steak. Everything great. I would recommend anyone to go there. Just be cautious if you scare easily.

Service experience is very original!! The free (tip) magic performance is worthy!! Loved the food and the place!! Deco is stoned rustic and dinner well presented !! Five stars!

I didn't know what to expect and this restaurant blew my mind. The entire experience was phenomenal. The commitment to the bit on behalf of the servers and wait staff, the quality and portion sizes of the food was magnificent. The magic show at the end was INCREDIBLE, we filmed one of the tricks and STILL don't know how he freaking did it!!!! I can't say enough good about this place. Not a single detail ignored, and every single morsel of the food delicious. AND THE TOILETS, imported from Japan and the most comfortable throne you will ever sit on! We don't come to NYC often, but this is a place I will come to every single time. Book a reservation ASAP, it'll be one of the most enjoyable meals of your life! (So upset that I left my bent quarter from the magic trick there, I wanted to keep that as a token to remember the evening by forever)
