I'm a bit flabbergasted by the 4 and 5 star reviews of this establishment, since my one experience dining here was some of the worst sushi I've ever had. Grab-n-go sushi that you can pick up at bodegas around NYC are better quality than this.

Well we were going to go to Tokyo alley but they were closed unfortunately. So, we thought we would try ninja because we had never been there before. Well, now I know why I never tried it and I now know why I will never be back. They only had one waitress, a bar that wasn't fully stocked and no bartender. We tried to order a crown and Coke but sorry no crown. And on top of it all the waitress was having to be a bartender and serve food. The salad dressing on the house salad was bland no taste at all. The sushi was horrible. You could tell it wasn't fresh. The quality just wasn't there. Someone in our party got the fire oysters and they did not even look like an oyster. They were so small...like tiny! They didn't look fresh either. My bet was they were frozen. No Japanese restaurant will beat Mikatas. Now they know what they are doing! Also the inside is just plain tacky. Cheap tvs hanging everywhere, they didn't have any ambiance music playing either. It was just silent. They have a tacky looking projector hanging crooked over booths as well. Is it a restaurant or a conference room? Honestly I don't know how they are still open.

The sushi was ok but the service was horrible. Stunningly HORRIBLE. We sat at the sushi bar. Saturday night, Feb 7th, our server was Jeff. Jeff came by and brought our beers, opened them and one promptly foamed up and spilled all over. He takes off, doesn't bring a rag, doesn't bring cold mugs. I see him passing by, flag him down, ask for a rag and cold mugs. He comes back and everything is ok for a while. We order sushi, then we get our sushi. We had no chopsticks, no napkins. We sit there, waiting, server is nowhere in sight. We ask the sushi chef if we can get chopsticks, he goes and gets them for us. Sushi was ok. The Salmon was good, the rest was just ok. I was in the mood for salmon skin roll, so we ordered that next and a couple more beers. When we were finished with the first plate of sushi, Jeff comes by and takes my husband's chopsticks and wasabi dish, which was right in front of him. My husband says, "I'm not done with those," but Jeff takes them anyhow, and does not return with new wasabi dish or chopsticks. Halfway through eating the salmon skin roll, Jeff comes by and asks if he can get us our ticket. I shit you not. We were NOT finished eating our food or drinking our beers and he's asking if we want to leave. We were sharing a pair of chopsticks at that point, and we had never seen a napkin the entire meal, so I said, "Sure. Why not?" It was an awful experience. $50 meal and we are being ushered out. On top of that, they weren't even that busy. When Jeff brings the check, I ask him if he noticed anything... he didn't get it. We ate our entire meal without napkins. Jeff apologizes and the sushi chef overhears this conversation and goes out of his way to grab us some napkins, but at that point it just felt like too little, too late. Even after the mention of this unsatisfactory experience to Jeff, he makes no effort to get the manager to talk us out of leaving, maybe throwing us a comped ice cream...nothin. Just a "sorry that the service is terrible. Goodbye." Never again.

Had a craving and this hidden little place certainly delivered! Teriyaki chicken was cooked perfectly, veggies wonderful, fried rice yummy, California roll was good, soup was not too salty and hot tea was just right. I'll be in town for work on and off over the next month and will definitely return.

Took my best friend here for her Birthday and we had to try the oyster sushi. Unfortunately we both had part of one piece that tasted off, well we both got very sick the next day. The other person in our party didn't have the oyster, and he was fine....

I'm actually concerned as to why people are so unhappy with this place. The wait wasn't that long and the server took my order with the biggest smile. The restaurant itself was nice and cozy, giving off a comfortable vibe and the food was good for its price. Some people might have had the worst luck with ninja but personally, as a visitor to Georgia, I would come back again because it was a very good experience.

I visited from New York City and i dont get why everyone is bashing this place. The sushi is pretty good and the owner is hospitable and kind. The sushi and fried rice is tasty. I would definitely come back before i leave Georgia

I was craving sushi so I decided to go here for lunch despite the reviews about their terrible service. I ordered two sushi rolls I did not enjoy either one. I order one tuna roll and it was plain. The tuna tasted a bit fishy like it was not very fresh. I ordered the eel sushi I forget what it is called. It had eel and avocado in it. It had some weird smoky taking ribbon like stuff on top it was odd and did not improve the flavor at all. Then it had some sauce on top that was blah. So disappointed!!! The everyday specials were all deep fried sushi rolls. O_O what are you doing people???? No no no you are destroying the sushi roll. UUGGH so very disappointed I couldnt even finish my sushi which really annoyed me since it was so pricey.

I've given Ninja a chance on a couple of occasions. Every time, the service was slooooow and rather terrible, and the last time I went, the bartender was horrific - who screws up a vodka martini???? The food, however, is decent... so they earn back a star for that. I've had friends who have also tried, on several occasions, to give Ninja a second (third, fourth,...) chance. Same result.

I went here today on the recommendation of a Korean friend who raved about the place, and because Tokyo Alley (right across the street) was so crowded. Next time, I'll just wait at Tokyo Alley. The service was lousy. I think the employees meant well, but they just didn't know how to run a restaurant. Aside from the man who seemed to be preparing sushi, all the other employees on the floor were running around serving as both waitstaff and cashiers, and not doing a very good job of either. After waiting an excessive length of time for our orders to be taken, we were moved WHILE EATING to accommodate another party, then we ended up getting our food to go because there was no time left for our lunch hour. The food didn't even redeem the experience (I had the hibachi chicken, which was tough and salty). There was one very apologetic server/cashier who said, as he was checking us out with our to-go boxes, that the kitchen had just gotten really behind. I can't accept this as an excuse. There were two in my party, and we both ordered lunch special combos (she had hibachi shrimp), which should have been easily prepared. It was during regular lunch hours on a work day, the life blood of Macon's downtown eateries. There were not that many people in the restaurant (you know, before the party of 8 that caused us to be moved arrived), and things just really weren't that busy. If there was a delay in the kitchen, we could have been told that BEFORE asking for to-go containers and paying. I'm glad my friend has enjoyed her experience there. She can eat my food, as I won't be going back.

Based on the previous 2 reviews, I *have* to think that we went on some sort of cosmically bad night. A group of 7 of us went to Ninja on a Saturday night in the lovely and exciting Macon... I expect to wait a little longer on a weekend, but this place made us wait: 1. 10 minutes for water 2. 30+ minutes for someone to take our order... and I had to go get someone, who gave me attitude b/c apparently it's insane to want to order food at a restaurant. 3. 1+ hours until all our food came out. It basically arrived piecemeal, with mine coming last, so everyone had to watch me eat! Ninja's food wasn't bad. In fact, for Macon it was quite tasty. The salmon nigiri was fresh and generous. I also ordered a rice-free cucumber role with salmon, tuna, and crab inside. Again, fresh and interesting and tasty. Unfortunately, no matter how good the food is I cannot justify returning until I hear from multiple people that they have sorted out their grossly deficient staffing issue. There was one sushi chef on a saturday night!! And one guy took our order then disappeared...turns out he was a chef just helping out. Then the "waiter" admitted he was new and didn't know anything about the menu! Umm, staff training anyone? This was quite the rant, and I hope Ninja reads this. Get your restaurant on point and patrons with discriminating taste will come. Oh, and get yourself a drink menu and a few more waiters and sushi chefs!

Well, interesting experience, amusingly scary at first but it came out well in the end. This place is on the very cute Mulberry Street Lane, which I find to be the most charming place in Macon, not to mention the site for some of the best food you'll find there. I must admit, I was more than a little put off when I asked the waitress about the sushi roll menu, which included predominately cooked seafood with very little sushi. Cooked seafood and California rolls do not sushi make, people! She replied that most of their clientele don't like raw seafood. Really? I'm confused. This IS a sushi place. Right?? Next, they only have one kind of bottled sake, which they failed to mention was ume...horrid. Too sweet, don't do it if you prefer dry and are a sake purist at all - go for the house hot or cold, it can only be an improvement. Next, when I asked about chirashi, which I only found in a tiny corner of the sushi order sheet, the waitress said she'd never actually had a customer order it. Huh? At this point I figure, what the hell?! What have i possibly got to lose (other than my stomach contents and a day of work)? I go for it. Best decision ever, saves the whole experience. Beautifully assembled, lovely little variety of sashimi, very fresh, unexpectedly delightful. My compliments to the chef, whose pleasure at finally crafting the dish could not possibly have equalled my relief at winning the gamble with my stomach contents! Ive even convinced friends who signed off and warned against this place to give it one more try - chirashi, chirashi for everyone!

While the restaurant looks nice, and Macon surely needs more classy restaurants, Ninja is not a good restaurant overall. It's relatively expensive, the food is not good, and the waitress got the prices of our bill wrong. The softshell crab was bland; it lacked any seasoning or flavor whatsoever. The rice was poorly cooked. The only thing that was right was the sushi because you really can't get sushi wrong.

My husband and I LOVE Ninja and wish it were more popular. The atmosphere is old-fashioned and lovely - the strains of Ella Fitzgerald are a pleasant accompaniment to a delicious meal. The entrees are very good, especially the teriyaki steak, and my sushi aficionado husband says that this is his favorite sushi restaurant in Macon. I give it 4 stars instead of 5 because they stopped serving liquor, but they have sake and I recently discovered that they have the lesser known Korean soju, as well, which is well worth trying. This was our favorite affordable date night restaurant - intimate and romantic.

Love this place. We usually go here with big groups. They Are very accommodating and take care of us very well. Staff is very nice.
We eat there quite a lot and love the sushi. The prices are pretty great for the quality of food you get as well. We have never really had any problems with service. If you are in a hurry, order to go. It usually only takes about 10 min to be ready for pickup.

The food was great, but the service was TERRIBLE. A group of 6 of us went for dinner on Saturday night. We waited 20 minutes after ordering waters, and when he finally brought the sixth water he realized he didn't have a straw in it and decided to take it all the way back to the kitchen to get a straw. 10 minutes after he took it back to the kitchen, the water came back. An order of fried rice never came, and when we told the waiter, he brought out steamed rice. At the end of the meal, the fried rice was still on the ticket, and when we asked to remove it, the waiter brought a calculator to the table to remove the fried rice value from the ticket. Very unprofessional. They made a completely wrong sushi roll. There were only 2 waiters working on a Saturday night, and it looked like they were also cooks and hosts. All in all, the food was great, but the poor service has turned me off for future visits. Hope the management can get it together before another restaurant bites the dust in that location. Good luck, Ninja.

I'll be in town for work on and off over the next month and will definitely return.

Took my best friend here for her Birthday and we had to try the oyster sushi. Unfortunately we both had part of one piece that tasted off, well we both got very sick the next day. The other person in our party didn't have the oyster, and he was fine....

I'm actually concerned as to why people are so unhappy with this place. The wait wasn't that long and the server took my order with the biggest smile. The restaurant itself was nice and cozy, giving off a comfortable vibe and the food was good for its price. Some people might have had the worst luck with ninja but personally, as a visitor to Georgia, I would come back again because it was a very good experience.

I visited from New York City and i dont get why everyone is bashing this place. The sushi is pretty good and the owner is hospitable and kind. The sushi and fried rice is tasty. I would definitely come back before i leave Georgia

I was craving sushi so I decided to go here for lunch despite the reviews about their terrible service. I ordered two sushi rolls I did not enjoy either one. I order one tuna roll and it was plain. The tuna tasted a bit fishy like it was not very fresh. I ordered the eel sushi I forget what it is called. It had eel and avocado in it. It had some weird smoky taking ribbon like stuff on top it was odd and did not improve the flavor at all. Then it had some sauce on top that was blah. So disappointed!!! The everyday specials were all deep fried sushi rolls. O_O what are you doing people???? No no no you are destroying the sushi roll. UUGGH so very disappointed I couldnt even finish my sushi which really annoyed me since it was so pricey.

I am a big sushi fan and thought I would give it a try despite the low ratings. Mistake! Ratings are accurate. Nice restaurant, good service but poor quality sushi.
(2)Matthew S.
I've given Ninja a chance on a couple of occasions. Every time, the service was slooooow and rather terrible, and the last time I went, the bartender was horrific - who screws up a vodka martini???? The food, however, is decent... so they earn back a star for that. I've had friends who have also tried, on several occasions, to give Ninja a second (third, fourth,...) chance. Same result.
(2)Staci C.
For the money I would rather go elsewhere. Small portions of the Teriyaki Chicken and it wasn't that great!

I went here today on the recommendation of a Korean friend who raved about the place, and because Tokyo Alley (right across the street) was so crowded. Next time, I'll just wait at Tokyo Alley. The service was lousy. I think the employees meant well, but they just didn't know how to run a restaurant. Aside from the man who seemed to be preparing sushi, all the other employees on the floor were running around serving as both waitstaff and cashiers, and not doing a very good job of either. After waiting an excessive length of time for our orders to be taken, we were moved WHILE EATING to accommodate another party, then we ended up getting our food to go because there was no time left for our lunch hour. The food didn't even redeem the experience (I had the hibachi chicken, which was tough and salty). There was one very apologetic server/cashier who said, as he was checking us out with our to-go boxes, that the kitchen had just gotten really behind. I can't accept this as an excuse. There were two in my party, and we both ordered lunch special combos (she had hibachi shrimp), which should have been easily prepared. It was during regular lunch hours on a work day, the life blood of Macon's downtown eateries. There were not that many people in the restaurant (you know, before the party of 8 that caused us to be moved arrived), and things just really weren't that busy. If there was a delay in the kitchen, we could have been told that BEFORE asking for to-go containers and paying. I'm glad my friend has enjoyed her experience there. She can eat my food, as I won't be going back.

Great food and awesome service by the employees. The food might come out a little late but it's all done out of love. Def will come back.

Average food, a bit overpriced for local Japanese fare. Service was friendly and pacing was appropriate.

Based on the previous 2 reviews, I *have* to think that we went on some sort of cosmically bad night. A group of 7 of us went to Ninja on a Saturday night in the lovely and exciting Macon... I expect to wait a little longer on a weekend, but this place made us wait: 1. 10 minutes for water 2. 30+ minutes for someone to take our order... and I had to go get someone, who gave me attitude b/c apparently it's insane to want to order food at a restaurant. 3. 1+ hours until all our food came out. It basically arrived piecemeal, with mine coming last, so everyone had to watch me eat! Ninja's food wasn't bad. In fact, for Macon it was quite tasty. The salmon nigiri was fresh and generous. I also ordered a rice-free cucumber role with salmon, tuna, and crab inside. Again, fresh and interesting and tasty. Unfortunately, no matter how good the food is I cannot justify returning until I hear from multiple people that they have sorted out their grossly deficient staffing issue. There was one sushi chef on a saturday night!! And one guy took our order then disappeared...turns out he was a chef just helping out. Then the "waiter" admitted he was new and didn't know anything about the menu! Umm, staff training anyone? This was quite the rant, and I hope Ninja reads this. Get your restaurant on point and patrons with discriminating taste will come. Oh, and get yourself a drink menu and a few more waiters and sushi chefs!

Well, interesting experience, amusingly scary at first but it came out well in the end. This place is on the very cute Mulberry Street Lane, which I find to be the most charming place in Macon, not to mention the site for some of the best food you'll find there. I must admit, I was more than a little put off when I asked the waitress about the sushi roll menu, which included predominately cooked seafood with very little sushi. Cooked seafood and California rolls do not sushi make, people! She replied that most of their clientele don't like raw seafood. Really? I'm confused. This IS a sushi place. Right?? Next, they only have one kind of bottled sake, which they failed to mention was ume...horrid. Too sweet, don't do it if you prefer dry and are a sake purist at all - go for the house hot or cold, it can only be an improvement. Next, when I asked about chirashi, which I only found in a tiny corner of the sushi order sheet, the waitress said she'd never actually had a customer order it. Huh? At this point I figure, what the hell?! What have i possibly got to lose (other than my stomach contents and a day of work)? I go for it. Best decision ever, saves the whole experience. Beautifully assembled, lovely little variety of sashimi, very fresh, unexpectedly delightful. My compliments to the chef, whose pleasure at finally crafting the dish could not possibly have equalled my relief at winning the gamble with my stomach contents! Ive even convinced friends who signed off and warned against this place to give it one more try - chirashi, chirashi for everyone!
(3)Chris C.
Very good food. Had no idea this existed but glad I found it. my new sushi spot.
(4)David C.
While the restaurant looks nice, and Macon surely needs more classy restaurants, Ninja is not a good restaurant overall. It's relatively expensive, the food is not good, and the waitress got the prices of our bill wrong. The softshell crab was bland; it lacked any seasoning or flavor whatsoever. The rice was poorly cooked. The only thing that was right was the sushi because you really can't get sushi wrong.
(2)Bucole G.
Disgusting. The salmon roll had salmon skin on it that was so tough that I couldn't even chew it. The salmon was also off and and chewy. The avocado was brown too. I won't be going back to this place.
(1)Jim B.
Had a wonderful lunch there. The food was delicious.
(4)Anastasia B.
My husband and I LOVE Ninja and wish it were more popular. The atmosphere is old-fashioned and lovely - the strains of Ella Fitzgerald are a pleasant accompaniment to a delicious meal. The entrees are very good, especially the teriyaki steak, and my sushi aficionado husband says that this is his favorite sushi restaurant in Macon. I give it 4 stars instead of 5 because they stopped serving liquor, but they have sake and I recently discovered that they have the lesser known Korean soju, as well, which is well worth trying. This was our favorite affordable date night restaurant - intimate and romantic.

Love this place. We usually go here with big groups. They Are very accommodating and take care of us very well. Staff is very nice.

I lived in Japan for 13 years so I know quite a bit about sushi. The quality of the sushi at this place was not that bad, typical of ¥100 sushi shops in Japan but not high end by any means. Which is to be expected since they can't get fresh food or high quality Japanese rice easily. However for only six small pieces of sushi it ended up costing me $20. That is ridiculously overpriced for that quality and quantity. I had Maguro, Unagi, and Ikura (which was misspelled on the menu) The same sushi would've been better in Japan and cost me three dollars at a conveyor belt style shop for the exact same items. If they could simply lower their prices to more reasonable level it would be a great place to eat. Paying $20 for essentially an appetizer and leaving very hungry is not a good thing. This is Macon not Atlanta or New York. If you lower your prices or include 4 pieces instead of 2 for $6 then maybe I will come again. Far too expensive for the tiny amount of food your receive, cut your prices in half, include free green tea and miso soup as well and say "Irashaimase" which means welcome in Japanese when customers enter. Also, lose the tacky made in China pseudo-Japanese décor.
(2)Will R.
We eat there quite a lot and love the sushi. The prices are pretty great for the quality of food you get as well. We have never really had any problems with service. If you are in a hurry, order to go. It usually only takes about 10 min to be ready for pickup.
(4)Michael S.
Delicious sushi and sake in a secret location down the Macon alley. Drink specials during the week.
(4)Kim B.
The food was great, but the service was TERRIBLE. A group of 6 of us went for dinner on Saturday night. We waited 20 minutes after ordering waters, and when he finally brought the sixth water he realized he didn't have a straw in it and decided to take it all the way back to the kitchen to get a straw. 10 minutes after he took it back to the kitchen, the water came back. An order of fried rice never came, and when we told the waiter, he brought out steamed rice. At the end of the meal, the fried rice was still on the ticket, and when we asked to remove it, the waiter brought a calculator to the table to remove the fried rice value from the ticket. Very unprofessional. They made a completely wrong sushi roll. There were only 2 waiters working on a Saturday night, and it looked like they were also cooks and hosts. All in all, the food was great, but the poor service has turned me off for future visits. Hope the management can get it together before another restaurant bites the dust in that location. Good luck, Ninja.

I'm a bit flabbergasted by the 4 and 5 star reviews of this establishment, since my one experience dining here was some of the worst sushi I've ever had. Grab-n-go sushi that you can pick up at bodegas around NYC are better quality than this.
(2)Brent D.
I don't eat sushi. I only eat lunch here. The service can be slow at times. Other times its spot on.. The Japanese food is good. Service fair Prices good.

Well we were going to go to Tokyo alley but they were closed unfortunately. So, we thought we would try ninja because we had never been there before. Well, now I know why I never tried it and I now know why I will never be back. They only had one waitress, a bar that wasn't fully stocked and no bartender. We tried to order a crown and Coke but sorry no crown. And on top of it all the waitress was having to be a bartender and serve food. The salad dressing on the house salad was bland no taste at all. The sushi was horrible. You could tell it wasn't fresh. The quality just wasn't there. Someone in our party got the fire oysters and they did not even look like an oyster. They were so small...like tiny! They didn't look fresh either. My bet was they were frozen. No Japanese restaurant will beat Mikatas. Now they know what they are doing! Also the inside is just plain tacky. Cheap tvs hanging everywhere, they didn't have any ambiance music playing either. It was just silent. They have a tacky looking projector hanging crooked over booths as well. Is it a restaurant or a conference room? Honestly I don't know how they are still open.

The sushi was ok but the service was horrible. Stunningly HORRIBLE. We sat at the sushi bar. Saturday night, Feb 7th, our server was Jeff. Jeff came by and brought our beers, opened them and one promptly foamed up and spilled all over. He takes off, doesn't bring a rag, doesn't bring cold mugs. I see him passing by, flag him down, ask for a rag and cold mugs. He comes back and everything is ok for a while. We order sushi, then we get our sushi. We had no chopsticks, no napkins. We sit there, waiting, server is nowhere in sight. We ask the sushi chef if we can get chopsticks, he goes and gets them for us. Sushi was ok. The Salmon was good, the rest was just ok. I was in the mood for salmon skin roll, so we ordered that next and a couple more beers. When we were finished with the first plate of sushi, Jeff comes by and takes my husband's chopsticks and wasabi dish, which was right in front of him. My husband says, "I'm not done with those," but Jeff takes them anyhow, and does not return with new wasabi dish or chopsticks. Halfway through eating the salmon skin roll, Jeff comes by and asks if he can get us our ticket. I shit you not. We were NOT finished eating our food or drinking our beers and he's asking if we want to leave. We were sharing a pair of chopsticks at that point, and we had never seen a napkin the entire meal, so I said, "Sure. Why not?" It was an awful experience. $50 meal and we are being ushered out. On top of that, they weren't even that busy. When Jeff brings the check, I ask him if he noticed anything... he didn't get it. We ate our entire meal without napkins. Jeff apologizes and the sushi chef overhears this conversation and goes out of his way to grab us some napkins, but at that point it just felt like too little, too late. Even after the mention of this unsatisfactory experience to Jeff, he makes no effort to get the manager to talk us out of leaving, maybe throwing us a comped ice cream...nothin. Just a "sorry that the service is terrible. Goodbye." Never again.
