sushi ninja

Just a few weeks back I was finally able to try Sushi Ninja. It's been such a hype amongst friends and southern people in general, so I've been wanting to try the place.

Tsukiji Maki

I was surprised (in a good way) when this arrived because I didn't expect it to be a lot. I almost got this just for myself but it's a good thing Anton and I decided to share because it was more than I expected.

It consisted of 8 consistent rolls, all with the right amount of rice, tuna and cucumber. I love it when I receive food and see that hindi ako tinitipid. It's just sad when the rolls are small and are dominated by rice. Sushi pet peeve!

As a whole it was delicious, albeit a bit more spicy than I expected. I enjoy my wasabi a lot and can take the spice of it, but the spice from the mayo mix was a bit too much for me so I had to take breaks in between each maki just to make the spice in my mouth settle.

Spicy Salmon (Right)

Of course, it's never a Jap meal for me without my Spicy Tuna or Spicy Salmon. I must say that I'd consider this and Kessaku's spicy tuna to be my two favourites in Alabang. The fish comes in big chunks, the dish isn't too dry, the serving size is bigger than others and the flavour is just right.

Gyuuniko Sute-Ki Don

Once the steak dish arrived I was satisfied to see that it came with a good amount of rice and meat. I bit into the meat and found it too tough, probably overcooked a bit so it wasn't pleasant trying to eat the rest of it. The taste was okay but I was too bothered about it being tough so I didn't really feel like eating the rest of it. Anton though enjoyed his choice of dish (I forgot what, but it was meat too) and didn't experience the same thing, so it probably was just the one served to me.

Despite the disappointing main dish, I'd still go back to this place to experience the others they have on their menu. Their maki was delicious anyway, and their spicy salmon, one of my favourites!
