I went to first time. And I ordered "Ninja bomb bowl". It's salmon and shrimp tempura bowl. And you can choose sauces. They said usually people add few sauces. So, I pick Ninja sauce (creamy sesame) and Yuzu vinegar sauce. Yuzu is Asian citrus. Kind like lemon and orange mix together. But more close to lemon taste. And this sauces they mix together with rice. I never eat like this style. Because always sushi rice is using rice vinegar and some seasoning. But it was great. This time I tasted only creamy sesame and little bit vinegar. So, I didn't taste of any Yuzu. Next time I will try Yuzu vinegar only. I think creamy sesame was strong that's why I can't taste Yuzu. Shrimp tempura was little bit soggy for me. Because I love crispy. But I enjoyed a lot. Looks was great too. They have day's special. It's couple dollars cheaper than regular price. So, if you find it your favorite bowl then just go to day's special time.

I'm so glad I found this spot so close to home. I would usually go all the way to Waterloo for poke, and it's nice to see I have a way closer option now. Hungry ninja has a 10x better price. I got the ninja bomb with an extra scoop of tuna added on for 18.10 after taxes. My one gripe was I wish the pieces of fish were cut a little chunkier. This spot is definitely gonna be my new go to poke spot.

Good, fresh and tasty. My daughters favorite place by far. Selection is a bit limited. Prices unless on special are a bit too high. Nice presantation and great service.

Great food, had the salmon and tempura shrimp bowl - absolutely delicious, very fresh with quality ingredients. Closest thing to poke you can get in the area to my knowledge. Cannot wait to go back and try some of the other many interesting options they had available there

I highly recommend. The good: - Fair pricing. Very filling. - Very unique menu. - They support e-transfer too! - The staff is super approachable - Cozy at night. - Music isn't loud. - Best Japanese food option in Cambridge. What could be better: - The Salmon bowl is filling but could include more salmon. - Interior decor could use more work.
