| When I really feel like I need raw fish, I usually go | | | | conveyor belts passing sashimi around for an |
| to Star Market at the Mililani Town Center for a | | | | hour--everything is made fresh upon demand. You |
| quick fix of poke. But one day, I remembered | | | | basically place your order like you're at McDonald's, |
| that there's also a sushi place at the Mililani Town | | | | but they take your name. They'll either call your |
| center called Ninja Sushi. At first glance this Hawaii | | | | name or serve you at your table. I only believe in |
| Restaurant is really clean and the photos of the | | | | giving tips at restaurants if the help actually waits |
| menu are enlarged and plastered all over the | | | | on me at my table, and clean up after me when I |
| restaurant. You are basically salivating the | | | | leave. So I've never left a tip at Ninja Sushi |
| moment you walk into the place. Not only do | | | | because that's not how the place is set up. On |
| they have large colorful pictures of their menu all | | | | the other hand, they do have a jar for tips at the |
| over the restaurant, they have a rather large | | | | front counter if you feel inclined to give a tip no |
| detailed picture menu at the take-out counter. I'd | | | | matter what. |
| say that the menu is at least one third the length | | | | I have written a lot about many Hawaii |
| of the counter. The only thing that I don't like | | | | Restaurants but now let's get down to the nitty |
| about the menu is that they don't have scallops! | | | | gritty-- the food. I've only been to ninja sushi |
| AHHH! Scallops are my favorite. | | | | Hawaii a few times, so I can only comment on a |
| Ninja Sushi isn't very big, I'd say they can seat | | | | few things. While I think they slice their fish on the |
| only about 40 people tops, typical for a mid | | | | thin side, the creativity of the menu was pretty |
| budget restaurant in Hawaii. But if you don't want | | | | amazing. My favorite thing to eat at their |
| to take up an entire table if you're sitting by | | | | restaurant is the Lion maki. I really liked how all of |
| yourself, they offer bar-style seating (but sorry | | | | the different textures come together for each |
| no bartender). The service is pretty good--I | | | | delectable bite-- especially the use of french fried |
| haven't run into a bad egg yet. There are no | | | | onions on top of the roll. |
