Ninja New York

A great place especially for children 7 and up. The food was good. From start to finish it was an enjoyable experience. The look on my grandson's face was priceless. We celebrated his 8th birthday in January.

Came here for a surprise party with group of 7 people. It was so fun!! Our waiter kept scaring the crap out of me bc I had my back facing the door way so I kept getting ninja'd. Their cocktails were ok, the caesar salad you need to stab lightly. I heard stab so I went at it with my chopsticks and the crumbs flew everywhere. Lightly stab and yell!

The food presentations were awesome, steaks on fire and sushi paradise all foggy and mysterious. Their steak butter was yummy and we had sides of potatoes, also yummy. After our meal we had a ninja magician do tricks with cups and balls, as well as card tricks.

My group had a blast watching me get the crap scared out of me by this one awesome funny ninja. Also we got stabbed a bunch of times while we were eating. Super fun time!! Read less

The ninjas were really nice and sociable and the magician was excellent. However, the food was beyond terrible. You can get better sushi at a gas station in the middle of Iowa. The ribs were cold and tasteless, the salad had no dressing and was soggy, and even the fries were bad. Who serves potato salad sliders? Yuck!!!!!! Dinner was over 300 dollars for 2 adults and 4 kids under 10. Not worth it. The kids had fun but gosh the food was so bad it was ridiculous. It makes airline food look like a 5 star meal. Why not just serve traditional chinese and japenese food? The restaurant is in one of the wealthiest areas of New York City and less than a mile from China Town, can't they get a decent chef.

Beware. There appear to be several good tables in the middle of action. Then there are tables that they craminto spare corners just to cram in more people to the restaurant. If you get one of those tables, then you are in a claustrophobic space away from all the action. Demand another table. We did not; it ruined our experience.

If you just stay in your spot, you get to hear all the fun that others seem to be having in the main area, while you are cloistered away. Extremely frustrating. Your overpriced meal is no less overpriced if you are crammed in one of those spaces. You are paying for the experience when you go to a place like this.

I'm extremely frustrated that this restaurant would do this to patrons. We made reservations weeks in advance.

I don't usually write reviews. No. What I meant to say is that I never write reviews. But my dining experience in this place was so bad, so rage filled, that I feel obligated to warn others.

I liked the idea of this restaurant and it's obviously aimed towards families with kids who enjoy the whole 'Ninja' show and special effects. I won't complain about that.

I am a Vegan. I've been Vegan for 3 years. I don't eat Meat, Dairy or Eggs. When ordering I made it clear to the waiter what are my dietary restrictions and he promised me that the (only) Vegeterian/Vegan option is dairy free and egg free. The 3 course meal, if you choose to call it one - since it could be easily bundled up into a single plate and called 'main dish' - consisted of:
1. Salsa with 2 tiny slices of avocado
2. Vegetarian sushi (5 pieces)
3. Mushroom Burger

The Mushroom Burger was horrible. It came with two tiny broccoli heads, two small carrots drenched in butter. Yes, BUTTER. And the hamburger bun was glazed with egg. After I let the initial shock sink in I started eating the mushroom burger with the bits of Broccoli which did not touch the butter. Midway the meal I felt like I was chewing on something gummy, almost cartilage like. I spit it out only to discover I was chewing on a bit of meat, seemed like a steak. I pried the 2 slabs of mushroom open only to discover additional meat bits in the mushroom, vegetarian hamburger.

That initial shock... Remember that one? Well, it quickly turned into panic, anger and disbelief. I immediately called the waiter and asked him to take the dish away. Letting him know there are bits of meat in my vegetarian meal. He gave a weak apology and promised I won't be charged for the meal which is priced at 38 dollars.

When the bill came I discovered that not only that they did not remove as the charge as promised but that they actually DOUBLE charged me for the meal. Maybe the confused my docile temper, or the 2 glasses of wine as an opportunity to take advantage of me. I notified the waiter only to get a 'fixed' bill where the double charge was removed but the original charge remained. I notified the waiter again only to have the bill corrected to $28, removing $10 for the main dish. Yes, $10 for the main dish. I was dining with friends and I did not wish to embarrass them so I did not say anything else and just paid my due.

I would not recommend this place to anyone. Never go there.
I would rather have spent my time at a dentist having him pull my teeth one by one with the Teletubbies playing in the background then going to this place.
