   The food is always fantastic with very attentive service. We celebrated NYE at Niku, and it did not disappoint. We were lucky enough to be seated in the back room. Thanks again Niku!!

   We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Niku Steakhouse. We enjoyed sitting at the chef table. Everything and everyone was top notch. We started with a fabulous cocktail. The Chicory salad and beef tartare were so delicious ! Then we had the wagyu tasting, the petite filet, ( with the wine pairing) the Wagyu fat potatoes and ended with …. Wagyu fat brownie. Decadent and exemplary in every way. We’d highly recommend and look forward to going back.

   My experience was a let down if I am being honest. First of all, the menu is EXTREMELY limited for a steak house! As if that’s not enough, they use peanut oil for quite a few items on the menu, there by taking away options from the already limited menu! My guest who is severely allergic to peanut couldn’t have much at the restaurant. In this day and age, that is a complete NO NO! Also, the portions were VERY SMALL!! Definitely not a place you go if you are very hungry. The drinks were okay, service was very good. I won’t be going back. Not a bad restaurant just not for me. The experience I had was disappointing. Going to Nikki left me apologizing to my out of town guest profusely, even after spending more than $700 there! Unacceptable

   We went there for my husband's birthday, from our arrival to the moment we left, the personnel were very attentive and cared about every detail. We had the crispy pork ear, which was a little too sweet for my taste, but still good and delicious bone marrow to start. After that we had the tomahawk, it was really tender and juicy (you can easily share it among 3 - 4 people). Drinks are also 👌. To finish we had the lemon chiboust dessert as recommended by our waitress but we were not sure about the combination between cilantro and ice cream. Great experience in general.

   We went for my wife’s birthday and had a very nice time. The food was exceptional and the wait staff was an orchestrated ballet of impeccable service. Everything from the appetizers, the main courses and the desserts were all rock solid. I expected at least one of these categories to be a little weak (as they are with most restaurants) and I was continually pleasantly surprised by the dynamic flavors and incredibly well-prepared, and well-seasoned food overall. My only critique would be that the broccolini was undercooked for my taste and a little too heavy on the garlic, and the porterhouse rolls were slightly disappointing — they were made of some kind of wheat dough with an added aromatic that wasn’t needed in my opinion. I was hoping for the classic buttery white bread porterhouse rolls! But if you are looking for exotic flavors, and open to things being a little different than expected, there’s no shortage of that at Niku. The ambience was modern, tasteful and chic. The music was a little loud, but that helped to provide a very immersive experience. After a few drinks you don’t notice as much lol. They have three different seating options: bar, tables, and chefs counter. This was not as clearly explained as it could’ve been on their website or on OpenTable. The pictures I found online didn’t give a clear enough idea of what the different seating options would look like, so that made planning a special occasion a little difficult. Otherwise, I couldn’t recommend this place enough.

   Best steak you’ll have your whole life but be sure to bring your savings and get the A5 japanese wagyu! It’ll be worth it!
