The atmosphere is fresh and elegant, the sushi made fresh to order with all of the sushi items capable of being gluten free (just ask) if not all ready. They also have gluten free soy sauce in packets, just ask. All their sauces are made in house and are free of gluten, including their eel sauce! A rarity in my experience. The service was excellent. I have several allergies and keep a business card with all of them on it, Becky took the card and checked everything I asked about for my allergens and made sure I didn't have any other common allergies. She was attentive but not too attentive. The sushi was delicious! I had the black widow roll and something else but that widow roll was where it was at for me! The Wasabi is good too. The prices are very reasonable. They even have a very affordable lunch option keeping this at the top of my list for a satisfying lunch. Their chopsticks were of good quality too, thick, smooth, and rounded with no splintering.
They have a drive thru option, just pull up just past the door. The drive thru can sometimes block the door a bit, depending on the car. I would recommend patrons be considerate of this when using the drive thru option.
Room for improvement:
The menu doesn't state anything about their gluten free options and doesn't say anything about it being available. This would go a long way in navigating the menu for such a common allergen.
None of the side items I inquired about were gluten free (including all of their salads and the miso soup, so sad about the miso soup!)
The acoustics make for a very loud experience with just one person talking. I would recommend padding their art with acoustics foam or adding art installations with acoustic foam. It would help it sound as intimate as it feels. Maybe even padded boards hanging above each table to dappen conversations and prevent them from bouncing around so much.
The parking lot is tiny and not well maintained. I hope they can negotiate something with the landlord because they deserve better. This isn't enough to keep me away from a new favorite spot tho!
Overall, I would recommend and will be going again!
Update 3.29.23
Brought my husband in today and Sushi Ninja did not disappoint! SO good. I had the tempura master roll, black widow roll and my husband had the crisp shrimp roll, Oregon roll, and double shrimp roll. The tempura master roll was hands down our favorite. Everything was so flavorful and fresh and well balanced that soy sauce was not needed. They did upgrade the gf soy sauce in a vessel they bring out to you, rather than the packets. I love this place. They also replaced the imitation crab with real crab to keep it gluten free. So good.
