Ok, I admit it. Ever since Hana Japanese Eatery opened up near me I have become a sushi snob.
But, we had been to Ninja a couple times before and it wasn't bad. They are reasonably priced and have specials. The staff is nice and friendly, decent atmosphere, fairly intimate and dark, a little loud sometimes, but ok.
So we were ok with it when our friends invited us out to Ninja for dinner.
They say the third time is the charm. Well, this time it wasn't.
The sushi was bland with a lot of rice. Too much rice. It was just about all you could taste. Mussel, calamari, tuna, etc., it almost all tasted the same. I had a hard time getting my mouth around some of the pieces. The rolls, too, we are rice, with about a third of the center being the ingredients.
Before Ninja was not bad. But this time it was.
