  • My last night in Phoenix, before going to Las Vegas to see my youngest son. My sister originally wanted to go to Naples Ristorante ( http://www.yelp.com/biz/naples-ristorante-chandler#hrid:aBzZ0Y_OGjtgh9P2AAEMpQ ), her favorite Italian restaurant. But, she noticed Ninja Japanese Restaurant on the way to Naples. Looks like Japanese tonite! Miso Soup (***) Small oriental-style bowl of over-Salted Miso Soup. Just too much Soy Sauce! Dinner Salad (***) Iceberg Lettuce with a unique Ginger-based Salad Dressing that was reminiscent of Thousand Islands. Benihana tonight... Teriyaki Steak (****) Not up to the quality of the Seafood, but tender nevertheless. Asked for medium-rare... got medium. Shrimp & Scallops (*****) The tenderest Scallops I've had in Phoenix! And the de-shelled Shrimp wasn't half bad either! Side of Vegetables (*****) Also grilled by the Benihana Cook... noticed the cook uses Butter in almost before grilling anything. Very, very good. Fried Rice (*****) Also a part of the Benihana experience. The Hispanic Benihana Cook had worked at Ninja for over five years; he said he started off as a Food Prep person and gradually acquired skills in Benihana Cooking and eventually became a Sushi Chef also. The Cook says it will take three months to acquire the knife-handling skills demonstrated at the beginning of the meal.... knife blades flashing all over, tap-tap-tapping of knives against the grill... pretty impressive, as I'm not a knifing expert! Lemonade (****) Never saw the bottom of the glass... cold and refreshing! Sake (****) My sister didn't want to try straigh Sake. I convinced our waitress to mix a Sake-White Wine Cooler! Worked out pretty well... not as strong as pure Sake, chilled rather than heated.... you can appreciate both types of liquor... chilled! Service (*****) Very friendly and outgoing waitress... who happened to be the sister of the owner. She was very accommodating to the least flexible and least experimental of the family... my sister. Ninja Japanese Restaurant has been at this location for close to thirty years... starting off as a straight Japanese dinner restaurant... adding Benihana Grills and Fans as that type of Japanese cooking became in vogue... then converting some space and adding Cooks for the Sushi craze in the last decade. Total tab: $53. The decor of the restaurant reflects the changing face of Japanese cooking the last three decades. In the main dining area... 70s style hanging round globe lamps... A more modern Sushi style bar area at the rear of the restaurant where it looks a lot more "fun" talking to the Sushi Chef and all that... To the right as you enter, a strictly dated and dark Benihana-style dining area with Grills that could accommodate up to thirteen people and as few as six. Why is it dark? When your Benihana Cook arrives with all the food... he / she gets highlighted by the built-in lamps embedded in the vents above him. Techno Japanese rap was played pretty loud throughout our meal! I guess this is an attempt by Ninja to attract a younger restaurant audience. Don't think the music is going to work, though!
