| - Ok, let's be completely honest. Chandler does not have the greatest sushi restaurant selection. We've tried several non-chain restaurants in the area with a sense of defeat and remorse being the shared feeling of the group at recounting our ordeal.
However, when visiting Ninja Japanese, we were pleasantly surprised. Truth be told - if compared with the best of the best sushi and teppanyaki places on the planet Earth, it would fall mid to bottom of the scale (authenticity and fresh out of the water tasty goodness with the perfect pairings and accompaniments is truly hard to find). BUT if you are in the east valley, this is definitely worth a visit! We were big fans of the following:
* FANTASTIC SERVICE. Our waiter (I WISH I could remember his name for a proper shout-out) was amazing - attentive, professional, prompt and knowledgeable of the menu's choices. What else could you ask for?
* YUMMY SUSHI ROLLS, SASHIMI & SAKE. Everything we ordered tasted fresh and delicious. Again, I wish I could remember exactly what we ordered (too much sake maybe). We did take the waiters suggestions on a few selections and they didn't disappoint. A non-sushi believer in our group even ordered a chicken teriyaki plate that they seemed to enjoy very much as well.
* UPBEAT/MODERN ATMOSPHERE. There was fun music playing in the background, clean and contemporary decor and although you could definitely wear a nice top and jeans, I felt completely comfortable in my dress and heels.
We'll be back!
