I must be one of the luckiest guy around. In conjunction with my unceremonious birthday, I had a total of 6 free meals from my closest friends. Steamboat from Suan, late night porridge from ST & Kim, Wendy’s thanks to Douglas, Zanmai from Ringo, lunch at Ah Yip soup place from Lorna, and last but not least, Ninja Jones courtesy of my ex-housemate Kerol. What more could a man ask?
Wait, it’s actually 7 meals altogether with Eiling’s pre-birthday dinner at Il Divo Italian restaurant, which I have yet to blog.
beware of the automatic sliding door!
Anyway, we went to Ninja Jones on a weekday evening. The restaurant is located at NorthPoint, just across Mid Valley Mega Mall, you have keep to the right and go into NorthPoint’s parking lot lest having to walk all the way from the main mall via the not-so-well constructed pedestrian bridge.
The restaurant is located on the ground floor, with a pair of automatic sliding door leading to the dark but very well decorated interior. We were seated on the first floor. There were really some waiters dressed up as Ninjas, though none of them looked remotely Japanese.
chawanmushi, salad, soup, tofu
The menu is rather extensive, you can find kobe beef, sashimi, sushi, noodles, sake, and many set meals as well. I also like the fact that most entries in the menu is accompanied by a photo.
We ordered two set dinners for the night. Kerol had the Ninja set while I chose something that is priced just below RM 50 with a name that escaped me.
grilled chicken on hot stone, beef cubes, sashimi
Kerol’s set came with a lemon soup served in a teapot, soft shell crab salad, grilled chicken on hot stone, tofu, tempura, smoked salmon, and some sushi roll (my camera ran out of battery when they were served).
The soup carries a slight lemon taste to it and were pretty unique and refreshing, and I really love the grilled chicken. It was done in a minimalistic way and yet very very delicious. Of course, smoked salmon with vinaigrette never disappoints.

The set that I had came with salad, chawanmushi, miso soup, sashimi, rice, and grilled beef cube. The sashimi was fresh and really good, especially fatty cuttings they gave for the salmon.
However, the best item on my set had to be the beef. They were really succulent and carried none of the foul smell. I can only imagine how the Kobe beef version would taste like if this version is already so good.
Ninja Jones is located at North Point
The total bill came to slightly above RM 100. It was good ambiance, good food, and good company. A place worth revisiting

been heard bout this Ninja waiters/waitresses restaurant quite some time dy..i heard it’s a bit hidden and if you really dunno, you wouldnt know it’s a restaurant?
me too lazy now to update blog . . . .u r having good life eh ?
Angie Tan,
Hahaha do it!
Yatz,
Well, there’s this huge menu outside the door though. ๐
foodcrazee,
Life, well, is pretty busy but can’t say I have anything to complain. ๐
Automatic sliding doors are scary. Especially if they don’t have proper sensor alignments. I was stuck between the closing doors of a lift when I was a little kid. Scarred me for life. ๐
Lucky you. So many people waiting to buy you dinner. Lucky I didn’t disappoint you with my introduction of a new makan place for you eh… Anyways, the jap food looks good. For RM100, I’ll still prefer to stick to Jogoya for now till the promotion ends. Lol
This place is exclusive and hope to visit it soon ๐
Huai Bin,
Hahaha, I know your weakness then!
eiling,
Jogoya? Different type of experience maa, the sashimi in Jogoya aren’t exactly good IMHO. ๐
Foodpromotions,

Went there last week. The food is good, service is superb (can even see the Ninjas running around serving food). A bit pricey but worth it. Tried the beef cubes and love it.
