The Story of hungry ninja

From Our Roots to Your Table, the story behind our ninja-inspired Japanese flavors

Hungry Ninja was founded by long-time Newton resident Yoko Bryden and her dear friend Shinobu Swindell, who met 20 years ago at a mom’s group. Their shared love for cooking healthy, delicious, and Japanese-inspired meals led to the creation of Hungry Ninja, where they combined their passions to bring fresh, nutritious food to the community.

While brainstorming, Yoko and Shinobu focused on three main elements: healthy, delicious, and Japanese-inspired. Both of them hailed from regions rich in ninja heritage, which inspired their use of ninja principles—such as a mostly vegan diet for stealth and health—in their culinary creations.

After starting Hungry Ninja together, Yoko has continued the vision of crafting meals that are inspired by ancient ninja wisdom, creating flavorful, plant-based dishes that nourish both the body and mind.

Welcome to Hungry Ninja, where the spirit of ninja wisdom meets healthy, vibrant food!

The vegan sushi bowls are absolutely delicious—healthy, satisfying, and packed with flavor in every bite! They’re hearty enough to make a perfect dinner. I also have to mention, the bowls are a true work of art—the presentation is just as beautiful as the taste.
I really enjoyed the hojicha drink too—it was so refreshing! I’ll definitely be coming back for more.

I usually avoid prepared foods, but the vegan sushi bowl from Hungry Ninja is sooo tasty, fresh, and unique. All of the ingredients are delicious and blend well together…perfect for lunch or dinner. I also love the iced Hojicha—very refreshing on a hot summer day.

It’s incredibly refreshing, and most importantly, it leaves you feeling revitalized and nourished after eating. The taste is so satisfying and delicious that you wouldn’t believe it’s vegan, and it becomes quite addictive.
