Ninja Sushi & Tofu

A late-night San Bruno Japanese and Korean restaurant serving fresh sushi, chirashi, tofu dishes, Korean BBQ, and izakaya-style small plates until 2 AM Wednesday through Sunday.

Ninja Sushi and Tofu at 681 San Mateo Avenue in San Bruno is a Japanese and Korean restaurant operating under new management, open Wednesday through Sunday from 5 PM to 2 AM, making it one of the few genuinely late-night dining options on the Peninsula. The kitchen spans two culinary traditions: a full sushi and Japanese menu alongside Korean-inflected dishes, with a particular focus on tofu preparations. The menu is broad and izakaya-leaning on the appetizer side, with standouts including grilled yellowtail collar, grilled salmon collar, baked mussels with house sauce, deep-fried soft shell crab, takoyaki, squid tempura, prawn tempura, and garlic soy chicken wings. The tofu program opens with deep-fried tofu in house sauce. On the sushi side, the kitchen emphasizes freshness, with chirashi, sashimi platters, and a full maki roll menu. Spicy tuna salad with tobiko rounds out the starters. Delivery and takeout are both available.
