Ninja Ramen & Thai

"We got their ramen, fried rice,pad thai and. Service was quick but I would not recommend the food if you're looking for something good and authentic. Fried rice and pad thai was not good at all. The lady who took our order was rude and impatient with us even when we were ready to order when she came. Overall I will not go back."

"I dont know why but our experience with food here was really off! Nothing tasted like thai food. We used live in vermillion and drove to sioux falls just to have thai food but we were utterly disappointed."

"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!"

"First I want to say that the food tasted good. However, I felt rushed to my table and didn't feel the liberty to choose my seating although the restaurant was practically empty. I wanted a particular entree but instead of crispy noodles I wanted pad Thai noodles. They would not allow this. This was the first time a restaurant had refused such a request that I now of. This made me wonder two things: was the food already premade and briefly heated up or did they simply not like my request. They offered me to get a child portion of pad Thai noodles along with the entree I desired but I went with the pad Thai only. Then my wife ordered a dish but desired a child portion but they would not grant this to her. This was upsetting to me initially. Perhaps they had good reasons, not sure. Lastly, a friend ordered a chicken Thai noodle soup. It was fabulous!"

"Wonderful place for lunch or dinner. The service is always fast and they don’t rush you. The menu is more refined than many Asian restaurants, which offers some less traditional dishes that lend themselves to more creativity and fun flavors. Try the Mango Chicken…absolutely incredible. They do have some transitional dishes as well, but this is a perfect restaurant to find something you’re comfortable with or something completely new. A welcomed addition to the Sioux Falls food scene."
