Welcome to the new Tribeca Japanese theme restaurant based on the partly fictional story of ninja history. The space is dramatic and incredible. There's no dining room -- instead, follow a dark and labyrinthine path manned by wait staff in full-on ninja garb to your table, housed in a private dojo, where you'll choose from tasting menus featuring dishes like cream-cheese tofu, monkfish liver salad or sushi with caviar. There is a la carte menu too for the lease daring. Reservations a must!

I work at this restaurant. It is bad. You would be so disgusted if you knew how your food was handled. The ninjas are all crap because the manager is not experienced and has no idea what he is doing....
