Ninja Steak and Sushi
By: Heather Cole
Braselton's newest location is making a hit. For all of you who live in our area, as you know the Ninja Steakhouse
locations are well known for superb food and entertainment. The owners and brothers, Steven and Edward Sun,
have done an excellent job bringing the best restaurant to our area. They also have the famous Iron Wok in Dacula.
All of these restaurants have a great reputation and taste authentic for their regions.
As you walk in, you will feel what a relaxing atmosphere it is for everyone. Ninja Steakhouse's newest location in
Braselton is much bigger with several
more hibachi stations. Even on a Tuesday
night you will most likely find this new
restaurant busy. I would recommend
making reservations for any given night.
Edward and Steven are very family
oriented, as both have children Their staff
really goes the extra mile to make sure
the children enjoy themselves from
the entertainment at the grill to taking
their picture on their birthday, which they
receive upon leaving after they have
enjoyed some birthday ice cream. They also
offer the coolest Japanese soda for
kids, called Ramune, which is equivalent to
our Sprite. This drink has a marble on top
inside that can't go thru the opening.
Watch out Sushi lovers; with 27 sushi selections on the list it was hard to make a decision. We started out with a Shrimp
Tempura roll. It's topped with a fine crunch and eel sauce. Spicy sauce is served on the side of this beautiful plate
presentation.
The Crunchy Tuna is raw spicy tuna rolled in eel. The Spicy Tuna was rolled in eel also. Both were excellent. From the
California roll to our area's Famous Hamilton Mill roll, all sushi is served with Wasabi and their special soy-ginger sauce.
Steven and Edward have always had some of the freshest sushi in the area.
Upon moving from the sushi bar to the hibachi table, our chef arrived and a salad was served. This salad had ginger
dressing, which was light orange in color and had a small amount of onion and soy sauce in it that was favorably mild.
Next our chicken broth soup was served, which had thin mushrooms and green onions on top. Our Chef fires the grill
up and cracks a few eggs for the crowd. Finely chopped bacon, onions, soy sauce, salt and pepper were added to make
the fried rice. It's so good, I could live off this alone. So many different variations are offered for lunch and dinner, from
chicken to filet and lobster. Vegetables are also cooked on the grill before your eyes; these include broccoli, mushrooms,
onions, zucchini and carrots. Two sauces are brought out to compliment your meal. One is a soy sauce mixed with a
little water, ginger and sesame seeds. The other sauce had a mustard and mayo base with a little soy. All of the
vegetables and meats come in fresh daily with only the highest quality brought in house.
Beverages include 13 beers which are domestic, imported and Japanese. The house wine is Ecco. Wines include 10
whites, 2 blush and 9 reds from Austria, California, and Italy. Black Oak Select Vineyards is also offered in Chardonnay,
Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon. If you are interested in mixed or specialty drinks, they have a stocked bar with several
Daiquiri specials and Bacardi Martinis.
