Fun place to dine. Food was very fresh and. Had the hibachi chicken and salmon. Salmon was delicious. Also had dumplings and edamme. Cooks were very interactive and grandchildren loved it. Great family place!

One of the best neighborhood dining experiences. You get to have the best of two outstanding cuisines. Hibachi, and Sushi. The sushi is always fresh and delicious. Fair and reasonably priced. The Hibachi is fantastic. All the food cooked on the flat-top was perfectly seasoned and packed with lots of flavor. The noodles were soooooo good, we had to order another round. Can't wait to go back and have more. Only thing, I wish the chef that we had was more into the act, vs just going through the motions. The routine seemed a bit stale. Aside from that the my experience was great. Love dining in and to-go options. Always ready when they say it is.<br>See you again soon!

It's very good.<br>I have a hibachi place next to my house but the actual show the chefs put on is so basic that it's not worth going even though the food is good.<br>Nikko hibachi has both good food and decent hibachi presentation.<br>Would recommend

After going a few times, this has become one of my favorite hibachi spots.<br>The food is always good, the show is fun, and the vibe is great.<br>The staff is friendly too 😊<br>Definitely a place I’d come back to. 🍣🥢

Terrible! The bartender Tony asked me for my tip! How rude. He pulled me aside from my group and told me my friend did not tip him appropriately- not 18%. We gave him 15%. I would fire him. It’s illegal to ask customers to pay lot star they want to! Nikko has good food but poor service

Love this place, the food it’s amazing, the atmosphere is nice for family, friends, or a date is something for everyone, I recommend the habachi table is fun, just go there and enjoy.

Food was great, unfortunately service was not. We are a party of 15 and even though we made a reservation we had to wait over 30 minutes for a table, and once we got sat we were rushed. The waitress went as far as asking us several times if we needed a “to go box” while half of the party was still eating. While the prices are good, I would not recommend if it is supposed to be an important occasion, considering it’s my friends birthday.

Nikko is an amazing place to dine for hibachi. I visited this restaurant twice. The food is tasty. Excellent service; I felt very welcomed. This was actually the best hibachi restaurant I've ever been to. You will have an entertaining experience!

Fun and entertaining hibachi dinner. Went for a birthday celebration and the chef sang happy birthday, which was very pleasant 🎂<br>Generous portions of food for hibachi. The chef was skilled not just cooking but also with tricks, humor, and balloons! An all around good time for all.

The ambiance is nicely done, and the chefs are well-trained in their trade.<br>The atmosphere/vibe is suitable for children, too.<br>There is no accurate info online about their updated menu and prices.<br>So, I took the challenge of finding the menu and converting it to a viewable file for everyone to see what's available.<br>There is no such thing as five stars!<br>Everything and anything can & should continually improve.

This time I think Nikko's deserves 3 stars. We were able to be seated right away next to some really entertaining folks in the hibachi area. Food was excellent as always. The ONLY one downside to the evening was that we felt rushed after paying our tab for us to leave the hibachi area. I think after spending almost 300 for a group of 4 people you should at least be allowed to enjoy your stay without having to be rushed.<br><br>Update: tonight was great. Food was delicious. The Kani Salad needs some work.

Delicious family fun place! The food is so very juicy fresh and was one of the best hibachi I’ve had. The chef was very funny & interactive (remember at end of his performance, tip the chef a couple extra bucks in his hand) The service was great, everyone very nice, the place was very clean. Place is very well designed & bathrooms r very pretty. Prices were good. We went for lunch at 1pm on a Saturday & was nice & quiet still, with 2 chefs out doing there cooking for guests & so if your looking for a quieter time this may be perfect for any celebration or just lunch. They also automatically charge tip of 18.25% to the total on check so everything is taken care of in one shot, up to you if you want to add extra % tip for great service. One tip: on their dessert menu they offer a fried ice cream w/a selection of flavors but if u want just ice cream without the fried dough on top they subtract $2 (which is not mentioned but reflected in your bill, went from 6 to $4) & it came w/whip cream & sprinkles & was perfect for me & it’s a good portion for 2 to split. A must go!

The service was mediocre and a little lacking. The waitress was not very attentive and the prices were on the high side. They were also out of a few Ramune soda flavors. On top of that, I had just graduated from St. John's University nearby and was still wearing my gown and I found it strange that nobody said congratulations or offered a little dessert or had any sort of special for graduates. I only bring this up because there was an Italian restaurant nearby that actually had a chalkboard sign outside that said "Congratulations St. John's University Graduates!" I have attended many graduation dinners before where the table has always been offered SOMETHING by the restaurant so I just find it strange that it wasn't the case here. It felt like the staff were just happy to get the extra money from the influx of graduates coming through the door.<br><br>As for the actual food, the filet mignon was one of the best I've ever tasted. I probably have to thank a lot of butter and salt for that, but I'm not going to complain about calories at a hibachi restaurant. The salad and soup were also very delicious. As for the desserts, although they were very good we ended up getting one dessert instead of one that we actually ordered but we were fine with it so didn't bother to make a complaint. The desserts were good too, but again, on the expensive side.<br><br>Might return here if I'm in the area, but wouldn't make a special trip for it.

I’m somewhat disappointed. The food was okay, the presentation was great, but there is a lot of room for improvement. For what I’m paying, I think I deserve glasses made of glass instead of plastic. The bathroom soap dispenser was totally empty. I would have appreciated better lighting in the bathroom . It was really dark . As of 10/19/20021, the cleanliness of this restaurant was the letter ( B ). When it receives an (A) grade, I’ll be back to review it again and I hope to change my review.
