Last Monday night we went out on a double date to Ninja. It is a really fun Japanese restaurant with a Ninja theme. When you walk in, it is very dark and you have your choice of paths to the main restaurant. We chose the dangerous path which was a dark maze we went through and you guessed it, Ninjas jumped out at us. The decor is amazing! They spent millions of $ to transform the restaurant into a Ninja castle.

We were seated in our own private dining area with low cushy seating, and sliding screens. Our waiters were dressed as Ninjas, they made Ninja hand signals to us. They had fun jumping out, shouting and waiving swords at us. Wow!

The food was very good. Each course was arranged in an artistic way. If a Ninja star is next to the item on the menu, chances are it will have a special presentation or surprise. My dessert had a rose in a vase with dry ice smoke coming out of it. My friend's dessert was magically transformed from a metal ninja star into a ninja star shaped chocolate cake.

If you are in New York City, and you like Japanese food, check out Ninja, if you dare!
