Sushi Ninja Brandon

While there are many excellent sushi restaurants in the Brandon, Riverview, and Valrico areas—each with its own unique charm—Sushi Ninja stands out with its offerings of boba milk teas and smoothies, as well as a customizable poke bowl menu. They feature a wide selection of sushi rolls, many of which are specialty rolls. If you're a fan of cream cheese, you'll find it prominently featured here. One of my personal favorites is the Ninja Lobster Roll, which is fantastic! The baked cheesy lobster topping elevates it to another level. Some might find the rolls to be on the smaller side compared to others they’ve tried, but I don’t mind—I actually prefer them that way since oversized rolls can be difficult to handle. I have several other favorite rolls, including the New York Yankee, Rising Sun, and Dancing Eel rolls. I also enjoy the eel, scallop special, and salmon nigiri, which are consistently excellent. Let’s not forget the appetizers! The TNT Mussels are particularly delicious, featuring a delightful mix of Japanese mayo, wasabi, and masago. Everything I've tried tastes amazing. I also love building my own poke or bibimbap bowl. The ingredients are fresh and the variety of toppings is impressive. I often opt for a salad base when I’m in the mood for something healthier. Their house poke sauce is a must; it makes the bowl perfect every time. Service can be a bit hit or miss at times, but usually it's quite good. I enjoy trying different items on the menu and haven’t yet sampled their Korean dinner options, but I plan to do so in the near future, confident that they will be just as wonderful as everything else I've had.

I had the calamari appetizer, and it was quite disappointing. It looked like onion rings and the taste was lackluster. However, the combination fried rice was really good; I shared it with a woman, and the portion was huge—enough for two!

I really enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere of the restaurant, and I appreciated its unique setup. It doesn't have the typical sushi restaurant vibe; instead, it feels much warmer and more inviting. The tables are fantastic—very artistic and intriguing. The Rind-Ninja rolls with cream cheese were delicious. The service was great too. I was pleasantly surprised to find that they would leave a tip without me having to ask.

Very good place we were very surprised. The place is larger inside than expected with cozy stands. Weaked. They have ice-cold Sapporo and Boba tea. Sushi was decent and the fried rice and Teriyaki Steak was great. They had fried ice cream birthday cake!!! Family loved!

Very delicious sushi! The fish was fresh and tasty. It?s a busy place so I would recommend making a reservation or trying your luck with the bar. Will be going back next time I?m in the area!
