Ninja Ramen & Thai

Dined at this Asian restaurant during a trip to Sioux Falls. The service was initially good and our order was taken quickly. They have a nice variety of dishes and our orders were served quickly after placing them. We ordered a spring roll appetizer and they were good, hot, and fresh once they were delivered to our table. I ordered the pad see ew and it was a good dish. The other dishes my table ordered were also good as well. Why did I deduct a star? Once we were served our food, we were rarely checked on and drinks got low and we had to call the server over to get those types of tasks done. I wish my dish had a little more of the sauce included in it too. It was not a bad restaurant however and I would eat here again if I was visiting the city and somebody wanted Asian cuisine.

Had a date night here and it couldn’t have been better. We tried the Panang Curry and the Spicy Tonkatsu Ramen. Both were excellent. The curry was creamy and comforting and the ramen had just the right amount of spice. Great spot to share a meal together.

1st time here with my family. It was pretty good. We tried a variety of foods from the menu. My daughter enjoyed the seafood ramen and my the edamame appetizer. I only wish we would have ordered the drunken noodles more spicy.

Found another Ramen restaurant! This makes my 4th to review and I’ve got to say, as far as the food goes, I’m glad I found it! It’s no secret that Ramen Fuji has been my favorite Ramen joint, that’s basically what I’ve been comparing all others to. I’ve been trying to decide if I like this better but both restaurants have their pros and cons, I think I’ve got to say that they both tie for first place. The first thing that sets this place apart is the dining experience. Most Ramen eateries that I have found are fast food style, meaning you order and the counter and refill your own drinks. This is a full dine in experience, although, kind of a lackluster one, I’ll get back to that. The food here is really good. The meat in the Ramen was not as tender as it usually is at Fuji but the thing I like better here is when they say something is spicy, it’s got substantial heat! I’ve been disappointed every other time I’ve ordered a "spicy" dish at one of these places but NOT this time! Both the Ramen dish and the Spicy Basil Fried Rice did not disappoint. For that reason, as far as food goes, I’ve got to give the edge to Ninja Ramen & Thai. Really nice work! Getting back to the dining experience. Service was a little slow but not horrible considering there was only one waitress covering the whole restaurant. We were not checked up on as often as we should have been, refills were definitely on the slow side. Drinks and entrees were auctioned off (I explain this better if you have read some of my other reviews but this meaning they had to ask who got what, a no no and a pet peeve of mine). Food came out super fast but did not all come out at once, my wife and my son got their food within 10 minutes but that was several minutes before I got mine and I noticed the same thing happened to an older couple sitting next to us. This should not happen at a dine in restaurant! Even at McDonald’s they give you all your food at one time. Finally, it took a while to get our check. I was starting to wonder if we paid up front, another pet peeve of mine. Nothing worse than not knowing how to pay your bill and if it’s a dine in experience, the server should take care of you at the table. I’ve never understand why places like Frying Pan wait on you, bring you a check, then make you check out at a register. Hate that! However, the waitress did eventually bring our check and we did take care of it at the table. I think the dine in experience could really help set them apart as a Ramen restaurant in addition to their legitimately spicy food but there is definitely room for improvement in that department. I don’t see it as a benefit as it is now, if you’re going to do dine in, you’ve got to do it right! If not? You’re better off following suit and turning this into a order at the counter like the other places. A sub par dining experience won’t do anything but hurt you, no matter how good your food is!

Very good, great presentation and flavor. The Kimchi ramen is perfection. Update, went back a week later and it was even better.

The food is absolutely amazing. I can only attest to the Japanese side of dishes as that is mainly what I've ordered from here. The ramen is delicious, and the broth tastes authentic. The Donburi dishes are also top tier. The chicken cutlets are full of meat and not like some other places where there is more breading than there is chicken. The staff is friendly and very responsive.

The food is always great. I actually feel like the food heals me, a little bit! Services is always immediate and our server never has us waiting. Always a great experience!
