Shinobi Sushi Japanese Restaurant in Maple Ridge

Amazing, I recommend this place Parking: Good parking Food : 5/5 |

Great experience good food

Another great dining experience

I ve been going here for years, not as good anymore. Service was terrible, new staff? Our waitress forgot about us and served our appetizer last. Our party was the only one left at the end of the night and the four waitresses didn t notice us at all. Time to try out the competition..

i didn t feel good after my dynamite roll i felt sick after it

Terrible service inside. Waitresses wouldnt even acknowledge us.

More than 2 hours to deliver

Waitress was very kind. Food was very tasty. Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian options. Food : 5/5 |

Dined here many times since we discovered it in 2017. Already well established by then. Impressive menu and well presented !!! Never a disappointment !

Kid-friendliness: Good. Food

Went with family for my birthday.

Shinobi has been a staple in Maple Ridge since I was a teenager. All of the staff are always so incredibly kind and welcoming, even under pressure with how busy their restaurant is! Especially with the reopening- they really make it look easy. I brought my 9 y/o niece in tonight to bring back some memories of our sushi dates here, and she was so excited to see her favourite waitress. And we saw her! She came over to the table and gave her the biggest hug and told her how beautiful she s grown. I truly teared up with happiness. Shinobi will always be a home favourite and if I could give it one million stars, I would! Thank you, Shinobi!!!

Server/owner was incredibly dismissive when I asked what gluten free options they had. No gluten free options whatsoever - said there was gluten in all their rices and sauces and the only thing that was gluten free was the sashimi Dietary restrictions: Only sashimi

Cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, amazing sushi

We had the deluxe sashimi creamy prawn salad Agadashi tofu

Actually not open until 10 and turn away customers.

Pleasant atmosphere and the service is very friendly! Food is great with good presentation

Worst experience

Reliably delicious. The Rainbow Roll is amazing!

This my absolute most favourite restaurant, I ve been coming here for a long time ! Great food ! Great service ! Great Miso soup ! Great staff ! Parking: Easy !

Adore this place! Best miso soup I have ever tasted. Large selection of traditional foods and rolls. Their sashimi salads are fabulous. Staff very friendly. We dined in this time, but have often done take out, too. Vegetarian options: Veggies rolls, tempera, salads. Dietary restrictions: Rice based food options, so good for celiac dining options.

Got the beef teriyaki lunch box with tempura, California roll and spring rolls for around $15. Excellent value and delicious!

Best sushi in town. Staff is fantastic! Christine is the best

I am a returning customer! At least 2-3 times in a month we go there to dine in or asking for delivery. Foods quality and taste are great,and staff are very friendly. Very recommended! Enjoy shinobi Kid-friendliness: My 7,11 years old kids love shinobi, both food and space.

Good was great. Dani is very nice and helpful.

We love Shinobi sushi! Delicious and easy he staff is always super friendly. Kid-friendliness: The staff are super sweet, my kiddo asks if we can go to the sushi place to see her friends Food : 5/5 |

We were told this place is really good. Ordered take out. Wait was really long. Food was terrible. The Chicken Teriyaki, Beef Short Rib & Beef bowl came with overload of bean sprouts & one golf ball sized undercooked carrot & one floret of broccoli. You get about 1/2 of one chicken breast. Food was bland and expensive for what you get. We will never go here again.

Ive been coming here for years and years, and it never disappoints. Christine always brings such a warm welcoming energy, as well as the other staff. Always a 5 star experience.

The food is always amazing, great service and extremely nice staff! Kid-friendliness: Great place for all ages Food : 5/5 |

The restaurant has a nice, cozy vibe to it and the food is good too.

The servers are so kind and gracious, and the food is delicious! Always a good spot in Maple ridge

Ordered a delivery, so this review is solely for the food. Ordered karaage, crazy roll and chirashi. Starting with good things, the portion of chirashi was very generous. A lot of varieties of sashimi on rice and personally liked some crunch of cucumber and takuan in the rice. But was not enjoyable overall. Karaage really isnt karaage, it was just tasteless flavourless chicken tenders, some of the sashimi for chirashi were very vinegary and I believe they use furikake on rice which was overpowering and totally ruining the balance of flavours. I ordered chirashi before and remember liking it so its either I was starving then or something has changed. I didint try crazy rolls so cant say much about it but either way I dont think we will go back.

Food is always good! Servers are nice esp. Christine!

Gyozas were cold and hard. The pickled ginger had a distinct smell of being off. I called to make an order, once I asked for the total they already hung up. I arrived, big attitude and a cold welcome. Also didnt take my order correctly. The bag used to take my take out was charged, without my consent. Dont get me wrong, many of these things to you may be trivial. However eating out aint cheap, and to get this poor experience... I think asking a customer if theyd like to add an extra $ for a take out bag is just a consideration.

Great service and the food is delicious

Our experience with Shinobi has been always been a excellent experience the food is always good. The servers know what we like. They know about my husbands condition and are good with him. One of the servers, Jennifer, is so lovely and very kind to us. I give her a also Christine, I give her a she is very attentive to my hubby. The ambience is good.

Shinobi is a great overall dining experience. Great location and good ambiance. It s always busy so it s always fresh. Creative menu. If you like sauces, this is the place. I like the Toro Chop nigiri and all of the salads ( they almost all have pickled asparagus, which is unique). The spicy sauce is legit. Staff are all great. They re like a family and treat me well and know my name. I like that. Jennifer is my best buddy there. Come on by. You won t be disappointed. Super busy Friday and Saturday nights. Cheers!!

We have been coming here for over 10 years and it s always so nice to see Jennifer and Christine over the years. The food is great, the service is friendly and the interior is spacious and clean.

Hey I love this place, it s a hub of action, always busy but you never have to wait long. These folks hustle their buts for you. I love the special rolls section of the menu. After a couple years I m still working my way through all the choices.

Everything was so great. Staff are kind and friendly, food was delicious. Only thing was the temperature - we were very cold sitting at our table. Would definitely come again. Parking: Easy to find a spot on the street on a Friday night.

Best sushi in town! But even better service, always so friendly and kind!

Food is always amazing! My favorite sushi. Tastes fresh.

I ve been a huge shinobi fan for many years! Cant get fresher sushi! Highly recommend! Jennifer and Christine are amazing!

Always amazing place for sushi and service. The sushi is always so fresh The servers are amazing. Christine and Jennifer are so, so good. Friendly and attentive. This is our go to sushi place.

The best sushi in town!

So tasty! The beef oshi was amazing! Owner was so kind and friendly.

Great food and staff!!

Food freshly made and staff very courteous and friendly . Price reasonable!

Fast and friendly quality food

Shinobi is our go to sushi joint in Maple Ridge. Eat in or take out Shinobi is consistent and always has very good food. Prices are on par with other local restaurants and are reasonable. The menu is like others, and the quality of ingredients is good. Highly recommend Shinobi to satisfy your sushi cravings.

Food is great and the service is amazing! Jennifer and Christine are so fun and friendly!

Best sushi in town Vegetarian options: Good Parking: Lots Kid-friendliness: Good

We have always loved eating at Shinobi! The service is always excellent and the food consistently good. Boxes are our favourite. The only little issue to mention is that if you want to sit on anything soft bring a cushion. Nothing else is amiss. Parking: Good

Parking: General speaking good foodie Food

Lunch set was abundant for the price. Very delicious options of salad, tempura, nigiri and sushi roll. Service was exceptional thanks to Jennifer and others for the wonderful experience!

Simply put...very very good sushi experience. Been eating sushi in Maple Ridge for over 15 years now and this place cannot be beat. Great service, friendly staff...awesome experience.

The best sushi in the lower mainland! The service is always friendly, efficient and never a complaint. We absolutely live this restaurant.

Its our favorite place to go eat

Best sushi at Maple Ridge, my daughter is a super fan since she was 2 years old

Been coming here for over 10 years off and on and the wonderful lady who has been her all that time always remembers my name even if it s been a year or more since my last visit. Great service and food!

Always a friendly face that remembers us and food is always superb!!

The food here is amazing! And, Jennifer and Christine always make us feel so welcome. 5 stars, always and we highly recommend eating here!

Best sushi place around

We come weekly and have an amazing experience each time!

Absolutely love ordering from here. Food is always fresh and tasting great

Always a great place to get to go or to enjoy inside . Very friendly staff and fresh food

I enjoyed coming here, the food is delicious

Amazing food and service. Definitely worth coming here :)

1st time back since they renovated. Looks nice, but seating is crammed in, and theres no privacy. You can hear everyones conversations around you. 4 or 5 servers, not super busy, but we found ourselves still waiting for menus, drinks, order, etc

It gets pretty busy here for good reason. I have ordered for take away both by phone and online and I have eaten in store and the food is always good. Pretty good value for money. Service gets a little slow when they re busy but that to be expected. Staff is always friendly.

This used to be an absolutely amazing sushi place to go to in Maple ridge and it has gone down significantly. The service was horrible, the vegetables on our teriyaki plates tonight or even cooked they were hard as rock. Just a major huge let down tonight. Wont be returning here will go to far superior sushi restaurants with better service, fresher and better cooked food. The beef teriyaki didnt even have barely any sauce and no flavour! Shame. Used to love this place. Anyways had a nice time with my parents though so thats a plus

Great lunch place!!! The food is great and the staff are just lovely. I usually have their lunch specials.

Best place for sushi in maple ridge . Jennifer is the best waitress ever !!! Vegetarian options: The best Food : 5/5 |

Consistently provide good service and great tasting food. I don t think I ve had a bad experience at Shinobi! Take outs are packaged really nicely and they even offered me tea while I waited for my order. Will definitely be ordering from them again!

Food is excellent. Service is good but the servers are so busy they sometimes dont get everything. They could benefit having a person that helps them a little. Vegetarian options: Good vegetarian options. Lots of variety.

There are various reasons why the rice is hard or doesnt taste like sushi rice. Sometimes its just delicious The taste is inconsistent

We ordered delivery directly from the restaurant (not Skip or Doordash). Free delivery with $40 purchase. Delicious and fresh tasting sushi. Definitely our new favourite sushi place in Maple Ridge!

Great food and great service

The love boat is my go-to with all my favourites! Sometimes service can take some time as it can get busy, but it s for a good reason. This is my all-time favourite spot for the best fresh sushi!

Best sushi ever

We love this place! The best sushi place in town. Also, the staff are so nice especially Christine!

My favorite sushi spot hands down

Busy place but food is always great. Our favourite Japanese food in Maple Ridge.

Great place for sushi.

Overall a great restaurant with wonderful service! I feel like you can t go wrong when you eat here.

I recently tried it and was thoroughly impressed. The food was delicious, the service was top-notch, and the overall experience exceeded my expectations.

The food took a long time to arrive and the server did not apologize for the delay. The server was not friendly or professional. We observed a senior citizen waiting to pick up his food at the pickup counter. He waited about 15 minutes. The server totally ignored him. I was appalled to see the server, an angry older woman named Jennifer, push this mans phone off the counter with a food tray and tell him not to put his phone on the counter afterwards. She had about 6 feet of counter space upon which she could have put the food tray, instead of pushing his phone. He had to grab it quickly before it fell on the floor. Then we were further shocked and dismayed to see this woman push a food tray into his elbow and order him to take his elbow off the counter. This was totally uncalled for. There can be no justification for her actions. Her hostile and aggressive behavior was shameful and disgraceful and we definitely wont be going back to that restaurant ever again!

Best Japanese food in BC hands down. Quick service quality food reasonable cost and beautiful restaurant. My partner says the best ever!! Hes a foodie.

Christine, Connie, and the rest of the staff are so welcoming here. We went for our Anniversary dinner and loved every bite. Vegetarian options: There are many options here to choose from.

Maybe you should try putting more sauce in your packages. My building can t get enough of it. Love doing some community service before dinner.

Food was ok. Service seemed overwhelmed and robotic.

Staff forgot about my order, even though I had paid. I ordered pickup. They told me it d be ready in 30 min. I showed up and paid, at which point they said they needed 10 more minutes to complete my order. No big deal. 20 minutes later, I inquired about my pickup order to which everyone seemed confused about it. An hour after my order was placed, and having waited in the front, watching 20 other orders picked up. I was told that again, they needed ten more minutes again. I reminded them, I had been waiting for over an hour at this point and was getting sick of waiting. Within 5 min of this comment, they brought out my full order, but offered no apology, no refund or anything of the sort. The food was good, but the lack of care for their patrons won t have me returning anytime soon.

Great food and atmosphere. I was happy to finally be in a Japanese restaurant with Japanese music instead of american pop. Everything was amazing, but I really wish they stopped using plastic cups. I know this is very common amongst oriental restaurants, but it has to stop. It makes me think less of the food been served, although food quality is impeccable.

Nice menus

Being seated and then being completely ignored for 10/12 mins isn t very good service- you guys have done better. We went elsewhere.

Great service and quality, probably the best sushi/Japanese place in Maple Ridge

We came here for lunch, was my son s first time coming and he said it was the best he s had. (Hard kid to please but he loved it) he says get the lunch box if you ever come!

Food is good, staffs are friendly and price is so cheap $130 for 8 peoples

First time ordering here last night after someone told me it was good, i got real bad food poisening thanks alot.

My girlfriend introduced this place to me and omg, this is the best. We love this restaurant. The staff is amazing, the food is delicious

We had the Boat, Mackerel, Chicken Teriyaki. Out of this world!!! I so recommend this restaurant.

The food and service here is always the best. Weve been coming here for years and its consistently great. Rexy loves the food here too

Excellent spot for a lunch special.

5 Stars all around. The food was so fresh and enjoyable as well as the presentation was outstanding. First time here and will definitely go back.

Only received potatoes for veggie tempora. No other veggies from these guys. $14.00

Came to pick up my order 10 min past the pick up time. Still had to wait 20 extra minutes on a dirty chair for my order. Wont recommend unless u have a lot of time to waste

Awesome place for sushi in Maple Ridge. The Oshi choices were so good! Give it a try

Very nice restaurant, I was in the area visiting and stopped in for lunch. Service was friendly and sushi was fresh and delicious.

Love this little gem. Had the lunch special for 12 bucks and it was huge. Soup, spring roll, beef teriyaki on veggies, salad, rice, and a California roll! Enjoyed tea with my meal and this has turned out to be the cheapest meal Ive eaten in 3 years!!! Service is excellent and fast too. Had gyoza and tempura on a prior visit and they were large portions for a very fair price.

Pleasantly surprised to discover Shinobi Sushi. Don t usually venture into maple ridge but today I was in the area and walked by this great restaurant. Food was delicious, very well presented and the service was excellent.

My family has been getting sushi from them every friday for last 2 and a half years. Truly amazing no matter if you are dining in or take out, do try volcano roll if you are a fan of something a bit more spicy.

Weve gone to Shinobi for years. The food and the service has always been top notch. Weve tried other Japanese restaurants in Maple Ridge over time and Shinobi definitely has the best sushi and rolls in town (and anywhere) for a long time. Another fantastic lunch there today. Always fresh. The best california roll and tempura. We always compare anything anywhere else to Shinobi. Thank you for amazing food for years.

Food is great. Kid-friendliness: Offer candies. Food : 4/5 |

Very good

Excellent food. Hands down the best sushi in Maple Ridge

Delicious unagi don!

Great place if you want the feeling of getting away..... terrific freshly made roles.....

They greet every customer that comes in. My favourite Sushi restaurant in Maple Ridge.

Excellent for party trays.

I am giving this restaurant 1 star because of the portion size. Feels like you are getting scammed when you payed 105$ for a family boat for them to give you half a chicken breast on top of cheap veggies. It s fine won t be coming back. Everyone is struggling with inflation it sucks when small shops take advantage of the situation.

Really enjoyed the food and service, especially the chicken teriyaki, which was above and beyond expectations.

Very good.

Rolls were one note, not balanced flavors..salmon sashimi was really good bit was the shining star of the dark night this place turned out to be for my experience. Its not cheap..then they charge 1$ for spicy may sauce in the roll..then I had to have basically an argument to get them to make the roll woth the sauce inside...not impressed with experience at all

Always reliably good.

Shinobi is a place I had really been looking forward to and while I wasnt disappointed per say, it just wasnt as good as the sushi places I like in Coquitlam, Burnaby, or Vancouver. The staff is very friendly but not overly attentive (they seemed to be extremely busy running around) so I wouldnt knock them too much for that. But I did absolutely feel like their take-out orders took up way more attention and focus than the dine-in customers. They must have made 30-40 take out orders while we were there, which again, is fine - Make your money. Now to the sushi itself: The rolls were average in my opinion. Like a lot of places, the rolls were saucy and sweet which Im not interested in. The hand pressed rolls were good and the sashimi was high quality and the thing I enjoyed the most. Its not bad at all - in fact its probably the best sushi in maple Ridge, for what thats worth. I will reiterate: the staff was extremely friendly and helpful - just seemed to be overwhelmed by the mass of take-out orders while trying to serve a dining room at the same time. Parking: The Wal-Mart parking lot across the street has plenty of free parking if the street is busy

UPDATE - Please, please change your seating! Those wooden booths are so uncomfortable need some padding on them. My back was killing me after lunch yesterday (12/28/23). My favourite sushi place in Maple Ridge. Great service and food!

Food is good. We ordered a love boat which is supposed to serve 2 people. Maybe our family has small appetite generally. We all think just the love boat can feed a family of 4. So, we ended up ordered too much and packed up food to home. Service is ok. Some people want Japanese chefs for authentic Japanese foods. If you are one of those, you will be disappointed. Im not very fussy about that and will say the portion and the quality worth the money in general. There is a parking space at the back. But its full of puddles in a rainy day.

Believe me or not, I have tried one time in my entire life and it was really delicious!! I tried sashimi, Alaska rolls and avocado rolls, tastes fantastic

WOW This place is amazing. Great food. Good service. Best Ive ever had.

This is by far the worst Japanese food I have ever eaten, and the service attitude is also extremely poor. When they heard that I was speaking Chinese to my family, their faces were full of disgust and impatience; the Western foreigners sitting at the next table smiled and nodded. I dont know if thats the waiter or the owner. I will never go there again with such an attitude.

This is usually our go to sushi restaurant BUT tonight everything was off. The prawn tempua.under cooked, the California roll was fishy and smelled off , and tasted worst. The teriyaki was tough. Won t order from here again

Amazing good and service...

This place has very big rolls, big portions and yummy dishes! A little pricey, but so worth it for the value! I highly recommend the gomae here! Parking: Right across from free mall parking lot, or there s paid street parking right in front!

Food was delicious

The staff is really rude. When I wanted to pick up my order, she just said you come here too early. Actually I came there on time. It is not rush hour. I dont know what is going on? I had to sit on the dirty chair to wait for my order for another twenty minutes.

I have been there for few times .Food were OK with that price.. but the service there , just my opinions were getting worse. Couple service ladies were quite speaking harsh with poker face... Too bad in a well reputation restaurant around this sub city..

We waited a long while for our order to be taken. There doesnt seem to be a standard courtesy of first come first served. A large group of 10 came in after we had been seated for a while and had their order taken first. We had the same server. I also ordered the sashimi boat. This place is neat as they actually serve it in a big wooden boat. My order was served in a round tray. I ordered the 70 dollar boat because I wanted the boat. Not a tray. It also took me 15 minutes to finally get the waitress to bring the machine to pay. Food is good, but staff isnt attentive or quick. Expect people after you to be served before you. And pay as soon as she brings the bill. Not sure if I will go back.

Our fave sushi place! Love the ambiance The food is DELICIOUS and the staff - specially Jennifer and Christine are so lovely and sweet Even though we moved away from the lower mainland we always make a point to stop in when we are in the area!

Top-notch sushi restaurant in the Lower Mainland. This is our go-to place for spicy salmon sashimi. The salmon is always so fresh, and the portion is huge and comes with some fresh veggies. We always make the effort to visit this place on our visits to BC from Toronto and have never been disappointed.
