NIJI Sushi & Steak 1811 South Ridgeview Road US, Olathe, KS 66062

"The sushi itself was delicious, as was the crab Rangoon. However, the hibachi dishes were mediocre, at best. The shrimp tasted boiled and the rice was bland. The shrimp still has the full shells on, making it difficult and messy to eat. The waitress we had seemed less than interested. Not recommended to visit in person. If you want sushi to-go, I would recommend that option."

"We had not realized that on-site dining was once again available (apparently since January) so it was wonderful to come in for lunch today and see Joy! The new decorations and booths add a nice touch and the food was wonderful. We will be back soon."

"Definitely, there is room for improvement with customer service. Sushi rolls are good, in general the rice is good, the fried rice a bit too greasy, flavors were there but very mild, I would come back, but it’s not in my list of favorite places for Japanese food."

"Pros: The price was very reasonable compared to other Japanese restaurants in the area. My wife placed an online order, so we didn't eat there, but the restaurant looked pretty nice inside. Cons: they were somewhat busy and appeared understaffed. Maybe the food quality is better when they are less busy, but unfortunately, our experience tonight was extremely disappointing. My wife ordered sushi and barely touched 2 out of the 3 rolls. She said the Philadelphia roll was decent, but the other two (spider/California roll) were not very good. I had their chicken hibachi meal, which was edible, but nothing that I would want to try again. I feel like that was cooked much earlier than the sushi, so it sat around getting cold/mushy while you waited to make the sushi for our order...likely because you had multiple customers inside also ordering sushi and again, seemed understaffed. They messed up and put yum yum sauce in my salad, so I ended up mixing that in versus the yellow dressing they had in the bag. My wife ordered the avocado salad and it was missing the cucumbers/carrots. The "clear soup" was brown...very different than any others I have had in the past. I also made the mistake of ordering the crab rangoons, which definitely were not cooked long enough and were still very hard (versus crispy). The fried rice was pretty good, but underseasoned. I see in other reviews that we could have come back and got a refund. But after waiting so long to get the food (took around 50 min...which I understand you all take longer to prepare food and that is totally fine), but after waiting that long I dont expect to have multiple issues with my food. After waiting, driving home, trying everything...I honestly don't feel like waiting another hour to get all the food re-made in hopes of it tasting better. I really wanted to like this place because it's relatively close to our house. But you guys missed the mark on basically everything tonight. I'm giving 2 stars because my chicken hibachi meal was edible, but again, nothing that made me want to come back again. I truly hate leaving negative reviews, but I also feel that I needed to give honest feedback based on our experience tonight. Edit - Thanks for the response. I understand running a business is hard. I also understand being busy and things taking longer. It just doesn't make up for the $55 we spent on a disappointing meal. It's Friday, it has been a long week and I was looking forward to some good food! I would have rather waited longer if that meant you had the time to properly make our order. I see other people like your food and had good experiences, but it is gonna be hard for me to ever want to come back and give you another chance. Again, not trying to be negative, but also want to be honest. I hope things get better for you all!"

"Wonderful sushi! Went there for the lunch special, $7.50 for 2 rolls. Excellent quality and easy access off 151st Street. Friendly staff, but it wasn't very busy for a Saturday noon. I figured this little place would be much busier given the quality and price of the meal. I hope this little gem continues to be open, I found my new go to sushi joint!"
