Little Ninja Hibachi Express Grill

Awesome hibachi shrimp & steak plates. It’s always fresh. I highly recommend checking this place out whenever you can. You won’t regret it once you go the first time. They provide fast service, good quality food, and also have a rewards program which is tracked through your phone number. So eventually, customers are eligible for discounts of or free items on the menu after accumulating so many points through purchases. The fruit smoothies are crazy delicious. They provide good quality customer service which is why I am a regular customer. The food is flavorful and just really darn good. I tried their new lobster 🦞 tail, shrimp, scallop, veggie combo plate which comes with fried rice, steamed veggies, and miso soup and it was really good. It was real lobster no imitation meat whatsoever. They remove all of the lobster meat for you from the tail and mix it with your other proteins, but they keep the empty lobster tail shell in your plate. So don’t be alarmed when you have an empty shell. I believe they do that just to show that the meat came from an actual lobster tail. 😮I literally thought they had given me an lobster tail with no meat in it, but they showed me that it was with the rest of my protein in my plate lol. 😋So, Thank goodness. I wouldn’t have even bothered getting this plate had they said it was imitation lobster meat. 🦞The food here is all economically affordable. So no worries about putting holes in your pockets from eating here. Another positive about this place is that they stay open pretty late whether you are dining in or out. So if you’re a late night diner or night shift worker, this is a good option for food. Hit them up, Give them a ring, order online, or walk in person.

This place was recommended to us by people who clearly hate us. The drinks had zero carbonation and tasted like pure syrup, an interesting choice. The men’s bathroom was out of order, so my husband checked the women’s restroom instead, where he was greeted by an overflowing toilet stuffed with toilet paper. Always a great sign. As for the food, flavor was clearly not invited. There was absolutely no seasoning on the rice, vegetables, steak, or shrimp. One person in our group ordered steak and couldn’t chew through it. He had to drown the rice in sauce just to confirm he still had functioning taste buds. I kept looking around wondering why people are even there. The lone highlight was the shaggy dog roll—it actually tasted like something, which made it the star of the night by default.

One of my favorite places, I go here all the time. It was amazing because after they made the mistake of losing my ticket they gave me a free boba to make up for it. I cannot explain how much I love this place, the food is yummy and the people are kind hearted. 10/10 one of my main places to get food late at night. They are open when no one else is and have amazing food.

Guest service comes first. The staff will do whatever they can to ensure you leave happy. I loved it, great job Little Ninja!

First, I have to say that the staff here are great. Very helpful and personable. Knowledgeable about the menu. The whole nine. Especially Roxanne. She even made me a drink off the menu that turned out fantastic. Her positivity and helpfulness were a blessing. The food is great and portions are huge for the price. Atmosphere and vibe are super chill Altogether 10/10

I ordered online to get the buy one get one free. I ordered edamame did get 2 with absolutely no salt. Ordered gyoza 2 for one, they were pretty good but had no sauce with them.Ordered the chicken katsu, boring fried chicken, again absolutely no sauce. I opened the bag while I was there and asked for some duck sauce or something the girl pointed to an obviously empty tray & told me they're over there. Another girl came over & gave me some sweet & sour sauce. That was nice of her but omg the sauce tasted like dirt mixed with sugar (seriously) I got a coconut smoothie it wasn't bad, but not good enough to ever re order. I may give the place one more try. But they either need to turn off the to go orders & do things right, or hire more people. Idk I was disappointed.

We’re from out of town, and stopped by based on reviews. It was pretty good food. The servings are generous and the price is not bad ($12-14 per main dish item). The self service kiosks to place your order didn’t work, and the young lady behind the counter just stood there staring at us until we went up to her to place our order. The kids really liked the food and tattoos they got. Overall, we may or may not stop by again

The steak and shrimp is spot on. Tastes as good as it looks on the pictures. Really liked the 2x1 boba drink special.

Traveling from Los Angeles to round rock we found this awesome restaurant! good food, quick service tasty and hit the spot! Order at the counter and take a seat no table service looks like Uber eats and DoorDash are popular here too! The restaurant was clean all the way around and helpful friendly staff!

Finally trying Little Ninja after hearing good things for years. Very casual and quick! Open late! Basically a fast food version of a sushi restaurant! Order at the kiosk! They have a rewards system, so you can get points and offers towards future meals. Tried their spider roll, T.M.T roll, and California roll! Loved their spicy mayo. Yummy and the pricing is reasonable! Have yet to try their hibachi. Will happily come back to try more!

A great stop for something filling that isn't fast food on a long road trip. The food was flavourful and you get plenty of it for the price. They even offered sauces, which were all fantastic. The people that work there are super nice too. You'll be happy you tried this place.

First time coming here and it won't be the last! At first I was skeptical about the place but I did like the self ordering machines they had! Our food took a normal amount of time and it was definitely worth the wait! The amount of food you get for the price is unbeatable!!! The music was a vibe, loved the songs. Overall 10/10 !! Left with a full stomach and leftovers!!!!! If you love hibachi...this place is for you.

This was my first time here, it's not a great place to go late at night on Sunday. Might as well go to a grocery store. I waited about 25-30 minutes for the food. The sushi is decent. I drank about a third of the bubble tea and threw the rest out. It didn't taste too good to me. I got the buy 1 get 1 free, and gave the other one to a random person. The price isn't worth it for the bubble tea. If I go back I'll try the smoothie or just go with the old fashioned fountain drink or water. The ambiance isn't too bad, although there were a lot of people standing around for their orders.

I'm so sad this place doesn't get more love. From the food to the way they treat customers is top notch. I tend to stray away from eating out a lot but I'm so glad I decided to give them a try. I tried the general Tso which I only really disliked the amount of sauce but it was delicious. The spring rolls didn't left me happy as well. They were also very quick and pleasant.

Honestly it surprised me with quality. Clean and prompt staff. I always order ahead because they re upfront about the food being fresh made and taking 25-30 minutes. Definitely not fast food and I am OKAY with that!

They have Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle references all throughout the restaurant! Of course they get 5 stars! Oh, and the food is good too :)

Went to little Ninja over by Wingstop on the south side. Waited at least 45 minutes just to pick up an order. Everyone that came in after me placed orders and got them all well before I got mine. Worst experience at a restaurant in Abilene. After all the time I wasted waiting on the order, they forgot to give me the drink that went with the order, and all they said was sorry for the wait, after watching multiple people who arrived well after me get their orders quickly. Will not be back. If you decide to go, be prepared to wait and watch all the workers stand around and talk all for some sub par food at fine dining prices

The food was so good! It arrived hot off the grill. Food was ready sooner than estimated, but while we waiting, we were given free appetizers. It was such a nice gesture and unexpected. I ordered hibachi chicken and would definitely order it again. I had enough left over to take home for a 2nd meal. Though, I don't have a big appetite. We also ordered chicken noodles. It was fresh and hot, and you could tell it was all made to order. The restaurant was very clean and organized. I feel like the owners take pride in their restaurant, and we plan to return on a future trip to Abilene. On the last note, the yum yum sauce (that's what I've heard it called even though it might not be the real name), was delicious and not too sweet. It balanced out the hibachi meal very well. They should make it available to order by the cup or pint! Perhaps they do and I didn't see it :) We'll be back.

Fried rice was awful. No flavor. Waited 40 minutes and got a text it was ready, but wasn't ready. Would not recommend. Go to Hawaii Poke Bowl for fried rice!!!

My boyfriend and I are huge sushi critics. He's from California and has seen the world and when we travel, one of the first things we try in a new place is sushi. I'm an Abilene local and have tried sushi from every place that sells it. We have a preference to raw sushi and raw, fresh sushi is hard to find this far from the ocean. We got the Lava roll, Houston roll and the Sunrise roll and we were in AWE of how fresh and big the pieces and the fish were. Their sushi is better than anywhere in Abilene and we will NEVER get sushi anywhere else! As a side note, we are in our 20's and also loved the music and vibe in the restaurant as well and everyone was so kind!

HATE THIS PLACE! WROST PLACE EVER TO GO TO. I went with my 3 kids (6, 3, and 3 months) I'm a single mother, and all I wanted to do was get some bubble tea for my 6 year olds birthday. We ended up eating there for dinner since our flight was in 2 hours back to Orlando. What do I get for giving a tip for the food. A yell at by the fricking manager! All I wanted was to eat with my kids for my 6 year olds birthday.

I can't Judge the Food because I never received it. This place is more of a fast food / takeout Sushi joint, not a sit down with wait service. No Beer or Saki available. I placed my order and sat down, 30 minutes later I had to ask at the counter and it still wasn't ready, my order was just 1 roll, soup and fried rice. I asked for my money back. The place appeared clean but the music was Loud and annoying. Not going back..

The food is awesome. The atmosphere is place is top-tier for me because it's not pretentious but it could be because the food is that good. I love these people. I'm so glad they're here and they're open till 2 AM. It's like getting sushi and hibachi in Dallaswithout having to live in the metroplex definitely 5 star rating for me like I love this place. Everyone should try it. The food is awesome.

The food amazing The prices are really got I got steak and shrimp hibachi and it was 17 with tax and it comes with 2 free egg rolls. The service was quick and simple I called in and they told me 10 minutes. Got there and it was all ready and the ambiance of the place is nice hip but really authentic food.

Excellent fast, fresh food served by nice folks. I recommend the chicken hibachi with garlic sauce and chili oil. Was exactly what I needed. Will definitely stop by next time we're passing by Abilene while storm chasing! Thank you!

I was so excited to try it for the 1st time, but they disappointed. I ordered the steak and salmon hibachi dine in. They wrapped it up to go. They stapled the bag so I didn't open it there. Took it back to the hotel and it was 1 small portion of salmon and 10 small cubed pieces of meat over veggies. Seemed like a lot but it was the veggies underneath. They didn't include napkins, spoon or soy sauce. Besides the small quantity of protein the flavor was bad.

This is a nice quiet place that is underrated. Good service and food. I usually get the ramen but today I went with hibachi shrimp. The spring rolls are good too.

Good little find. Self order kiosks are a nice touch. The employee was very friendly at the register as he gave us our food. The food was good and we ordered a variety. Would come here again!

We love little ninja their food is so good and they always give you plenty! We get takeout there all the time and it is always something all of us can agree on when we literally can agree on nothing else lol

I had been here once before and hadn't returned in a long time. I remember it being better than this experience. We ordered the spring rolls, chicken hibachi, steak ramen and the volcano roll and 2 fountain drinks. Price was $37.45, a little steep for the quality. To start, the service was great. We got our food really fast. The spring rolls were crispy and hot. Little ninja told us they didn't have sweet and sour sauce to dip them though so that was a bummer. We had to use duck sauce. The chicken hibachi was alright. Nothing great, nothing bad. Just okay. My husband got the steak ramen and that was completely bland. He had to add soy sauce and a ton of sriracha to get any sort of flavor. The tempura volcano was the best thing we got. It was a 8/10. Overall, the experience was mediocre. I probably won't return.

This is a great though small Asian restaurant with a great food selection. The food is always freshly cooked and for the money you get a LOT! I order the beef but my wife gets chicken. Plus bubble tea! Stop in and you will agree they are very tasty!

Place was clean, and lady at the front was nice, but the food was very mediocre. Flavor was bland for both the meat and the rice. We added more soy sauce but it didn't help much. Rice was also very sticky and wet still (so was more like just doing white rice instead of fried rice). Boba was alright, small in comparison to what you can get at other places for the same price.

The teriyaki chicken was great! It came with an equal amount of vegetables to rice with a generous amount of teriyaki sauce and a spring roll. It was all delicious, at the right temperature, and satisfying. The honey green tea was also delicious. It didn't take long for them to freshly make my order. The restaurant is clean and modern. I'm likely to return to try another item on their menu.

Great hospitality. Food is really good and portions are big! Clean tables and everything.

Order is always perfect, great service! I'm pleased every time. 10/10 would recommend!

Large portion of food that is decently priced. Doesn't make me feel like I need to pour out my wallet. Service was quick and friendly.

The restaurant itself is nothing special. There's not an atmosphere that is created here. But their food is really good. Their rolls are well made. Maybe not fancy or the absolute highest quality sushi, but their prices and service are UNBEATABLE. They do a decent job of getting things done on time. I will go back, and I do recommend it.

Nice little hole in the wall. Not much aesthetically inside or outside but the food was great. My kids got California rolls and Dragon roll, miso soups, I got the ginger salad which was full or veggies like edamame, carrots, lettuce and a generous helping of ginger dressing. Food was fast, and delicious. I topped off my order with the sweet chili salmon poke bowl that was amazing. Try it for dine in or take out. Super good!

The food is always consistently delicious. I also get a mango drink with boba! I love it.

We loved the food and was super impressed on the cleanliness of the place. It was near closing time and we watched a worker clean the soda machine. She was very meticulous and impressed us.

The food was really bland. Really nice customer service just not the best hibachi I've had

Enjoyed everything we tried. Really enjoyed the he boba and the 4 rolls we tried. Would stop again next time we are driving through.

We love going to little ninja. The hibachi steak and chicken are amazing and this is the best place to get reasonably priced sushi!

I got the teriyaki chicken and it was quite a let down. The fried rice was also quite bland. The staff was quite friendly though.

Always good,fresh,,friendly. Good prices , great time.friendly environment. Kids welcome

Real basic "ok" sushi. But we got our eel rolls and food we ordered right away (cooked..) and the kids had to wait another 20 minutes for their (uncooked) California rolls. So they ate most of my food. The bubble teas were pretty bad. Watery and flavorless. Service was friendly enough, but we won't be back.

Love the shrip tempora, lots of good veggies with it. Crispy, large portions and the sauce is spot on.

Where's the shrimp? Oddest shrimp tempura roll I've ever had. There wasn't any shrimp or at least none worth mentioning. The outside of the roll that was supposed to be crispy was doughy. The roll was only $7 compared to $12 at most other places I have ordered but the quality matched the price. The spring rolls were very tasty. They were small but had well favored veggies in the middle. My recommendation if you just have to have sushi while in Abilene, hit Market Street grocery on Buffalo Gap. Better quality overall.

Great food and wonderful customer service!!! Calm quiet place where you can enjoy good food with friends or alone.

The place was clean and the girl who took my order friendly. She followed up several times. I thought the food was a little bland. The mushrooms looked like they were canned.

The owner is soooo super sweet. Very good people. Clean restaurant and delicious food. Highly recommend if you're in town or passing through.

With not to many sushi options around here, it's so nice that Little Ninja is that beacon of light that satisfy our cravings. We got the Dinosaur rolls delivered and they we're fantastic! Delivery came with status notifications and was made in 30 minutes which was fast and exceeded expectations!

This is one of three places I go every time I go to Abilene to visit family. The food is always served hot, and is always plentiful. All meals are a good value. We mostly order the steak or chicken with rice and vegetables. We are also big fans of the sushi, but because we don't like seaweed, we get the soy paper, which is great.

Ok, I'm very torn and on the fence about writing this review because as much as I love the food, the boba and the lady who works there, they just simply lack the presentation, which greatly affect the overall feel of the experience. Let me break it down. Their ramen is the best one you can find in Abilene. But when you have to eat it from a plastic bowl with a tiny soup spoon, it just ruins it. Same with their sushi. They serve it crammed in a to-go styrofoam container and you mix your soy sauce/wasabi concoction in a tiny to-go sauce container. Everything in to-go containers. So imagine getting a take-out but eating it there in the restaurant, that's how it feels like. It's very unfortunate because this place truly has a potential. Like mentioned above, they have some of the very best Japanese dishes in Abilene.

A wide variety of sushi options, and they're all REALLY good. I feel like it gets overlooked a lot, but don't sleep on this restaurant, it's delicious, authentic, and the staff is always so polite

We ordered the sushi and an hour later I start feeling really hot and just uneasy. My stomach rumbling and I almost lost it on myself. Needless to say it didn't take long for my body to reject it. I was starving and thought why not give it a shot. I know what to tell people when they ask. This place needs to be inspected by a health inspector. their sushi was even plain, no sauces on top to compliment the fish or rice. The service was horrible. The woman that took out order just didn't have a good attitude and I feel like she was annoyed.

Cozy and easy-going little joint. Absolutely the best sushi I've had in years. For great prices too! Most simple rolls are around $4.50, spicy rolls at $5.00. They don't skimp out either, they are fairly sizable rolls. There are also speciality rolls, and a large selection of different types of boba and pudding teas! Top notch food for a hell of a price.
