| - I was forced to come here, I must say to begin with. After I found out My niece's Birthday dinner was going to be here I checked it out with the Yelpers and found a lot of disappointing to downright awful reviews about this little corner strip mall Japanese restaurant.
I hemmed and hawed a lot! I must say it was not half bad. We had the Teppanyaki which, it appears, most reviewers did not experience.
To begin with, there were 9 of us filling up our Teppan table to the max. The room was clean with some typical Asian style decor strewn about.
It was 5pm and the dining room was quiet still. A very nice woman took our drink order. She was very friendly and recognized my brother and a couple of other diners from our group. That was very nice of her. She made small chat with them and made them feel welcome. Very cool. She admitted that she did not make very good margaritas and just left it at that. She did not offer, really, that someone else could make them. Not so cool. I mean my grandma wanted to get her margarita on and she just said, "Margarita-very-I make." Luckily for Grams, the other woman who brought my iced tea and my brother's Kieran's said she made excellent Margaritas.
The menu was a little challenging for Grandma and I. Neither of us had done Teppanyaki before. With help we made our choices. I had safe terriyaki chicken and she ordered chow mien. The rest of the group ordered more adventurous fare even some sushi rolls. The edamame was very nice. My iced tea was refilled in a timely manner.
the restaurant quickly became busy. Our dinner arrived promptly as well beginning with the soup. It definitely needed spicing up. Not my favorite. The salad came next, and while it looked like a cafeteria salad with it's iceberg lettuce and faux wood bowl, it was very flavorful. This was solely due to the powerful ginger dressing making even iceberg lettuce delicious.
Then the real fun began. Our Teppan chef was great! he showed amazing skill and organization combined with artistry and showmanship. It was his flair and the taste of his works that truly made this dinner memorable- oh yeah then my grandma said, "You need to lose some weight! You're getting FAT!" I will not soon forget that!
Thanks Grandma, have another Margie!
Overall, Ninja was unexpectedly good. The service was genuine and friendly. The prices seemed fair and the Teppan show was truly amazing.
