The weekly paper reviews the Rosemont-area sushi restaurant.
A flashy sushi restaurant on Folsom Boulevard has won a Readers' Choice award from Rosemont Patch readers, and now it has received three and a half stars out of four from the Sacramento News & Review. Ninja Sushi was reviewed Thursday by the weekly newspaper. Reviewer Greg Lucas makes a special mention of the eatery's loud owner: "There’s nothing stealthy about Ninja Sushi," Lucas writes. "In fact, entry can give one a start as Julian, the effusive host, offers a loud and longish greeting in Japanese that drowns out the din of the other diners at this former drive-thru." He also notes that "a quiet corner can be elusive," and praises the many sushi roll options at Ninja Sushi. Click here to read the review in the Sacramento News & Review. …

Has one of my favorite golf courses and a decent grill, too. more ›
