Ninki Sushi

Went here based somewhat on the other review, got there to find that happy hour was for 20% off of maki and not the 50% we were expecting. Decided to give it a try anyways.
Average sushi with typical pricing. A few items especially on the appetizer menu seemed a bit pricey to me. Service was a bit on the poor side… Not to say that she didn’t try. A bit of a language barrier and inconsistency with knowledge of the menu and some of our requests.
But hey, if you stick to mainly maki items during happy hour. There is money to be saved on a decent sushi meal. Plus you get to draw a coupon from a jar for a discount or free item. We ended up getting free dynamite roll on our next visit. That being said, I don’t know if we’ll be back there anytime too soon. There are enough sushi joints in the city that I haven’t been to that I’d rather go try first.

Ninki Sushi is a great place if you’re looking for some really reasonably priced maki. Every day from 5:30 to 7pm they have their happy hour, which is 50% off all maki sushi.
The food is totally decent — not the best sushi I’ve ever had but quite good and enjoyable and they have a really good selection of maki sushi, including a lot of spicy rolls and rolls with mango, which I haven’t seen any place else.
Their rolls are tasty and a little on the small side compared to other places in town (though probably closer to the proper, traditional size of maki). I’d find them a little over priced for the size if I was paying full price (rolls start at $ 4.50 and go up to $ 14 or 15 for fancier stuff), but at 50% off I definitely feel like I’m getting my money’s worth.
We went tonight and got seven rolls (goma-​ae, chopped scallop, Philladelphia, white spider, dynamite, rainbow and mini pizza — all delicious, though I’d probably skip the white spider next time as I’m not a fan of chili sauce), two miso soups and two teas and got out of there for under $ 40 including tax and tip.
On my previous visit I also tried the crazy volcano and Macedonia roll.
I haven’t tried the appetizers here, as I’ve pretty much stuck to their happy hour offerings so far, though they look really good.
Presentation is nice and I like the atmosphere of the place — it’s cozy and plush and dimly lit, with a fireplace. The service was good — both times I’ve been we had the same server who is a really sweet and friendly lady who was fairly attentive.
Overall I’ve been really satisfied with my visits to Ninki and I’ll definitely be returning for their happy hour special in the future.
