Fantastic ambience and under new ownership so you know what that means! We were there for happy hour and we got the most thoughtful and kind service with wonderful recommendations from the manager. The best food & amazing drinks I've had at a sushi restaurant in a long time. I can't say enough great things about this place. It was so delicious, I honestly forgot to take pictures of the food. Not to worry I will be back!! I do recommend making a reservation, I have a feeling this place is going to run out of tables as it gains traction.

Getting lunch or dinner is always the big debate for my husband and me, but once we decide on sushi, which happens more often Niko Niko Sushi is one of our top places to go to. We absolutely love ordering from there. Recently, we decided to dine in since we finally had a free day away from work chaos, and it did not disappoint. Gary, their new manager, was incredibly welcoming and did a fantastic job recommending and introducing us to their new cocktail drinks. We were sold immediately. We always order the Oishi Roll and the Tijuana Roll (I love anything spicy), but over time we've tried so much of their menu the yakisoba, gyoza, salads, and this visit we tried the pork belly rice bowl. Everything has been amazing. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and consistently delicious. Gary truly went above and beyond with his customer service and made the whole experience even better. We'll definitely be coming back to dine in more often instead of just ordering takeout whenever we get the chance. P.S. I only took one picture of our food before it was devoured.

Thai Tea Macaron
Transon N.

We stopped by for the food, but we ended up loving the atmosphere, the service, and the food. We will definitely be coming back here again many times. With the new management, the place definitely changed a great deal for the better, especially since last year. Our waitress, Lynh, is so nice, friendly, and very courteous. The manager, Gary, is very nice and also very personable. We had the Spicy Seafood Udon, Miso Chilean Seabass, and Baked Salmon roll. The food is amazing. They also have the ice cream macaron in a refrigerator/freezer that you can get for dessert. I tried the Thai Tea Macaron, and that is amazing. Overall, great service, good food, pleasant atmosphere, resulting in an amazing dining experience.

This was our order for dinner. Sea bass on a stick, Salmon collar teriyaki with sauce on the side and some dynamic roll, tempura tasted good
Maui M.

Not sure this place only received a 3 stars on average. We went there last night and thought the place was really nice, service, staff and most important. The food was excellent. I definitely will go back here again. Thanks Niko for an wonderful experienced. The tempura tasted you are dining in Japan.

Tijuana (XXX)

Although this location (and the corresponding Yelp page) has been here for a long time, the business is under new management. You can tell how much they are trying to elevate the menu and experience, while introducing new items and flavors. I was initially attracted by the business owner's photos of the temari set and how full their rolls looked (my ideal kind of filling to rice ratio!). We ordered two special rolls and one regular one, along with the sashimi appetizer. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the fish. You could especially tell in the sashimi appetizer, which was a nice arrangement of red to white fish, topped with an assortment of flavor pairings like yuzu jam on the salmon (not my favorite, but appreciate the effort). The rolls were just ok for me. Despite having higher quality fish, I felt like the flavors were basic or catering too much toward a modern fusion. For example, I prefer when spicy tuna is more sesame/chili oil based instead of sriracha, which was overwhelmingly the main flavor. The spicy mayo and eel sauce we were offered to try also didn't add to the rolls because of how strong the mayo flavor was and how sweet the eel sauce was. They tasted straight out of a bottle, and not in a good way. Aside from the roll flavors, I'd say the experience was still a 3 to 3.5. I'm rounding up because the service was so nice, and they seem earnest about boosting their business after changing management. There's room to improve, but they're really trying by listening to people's input and trying new things.

Very nice restaurant with fresh and high-quality food. Everything we ordered tasted great, and the service was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was also comfortable and relaxing. Definitely a place I would come back to again and highly recommend to others!

This sushi is very fresh and delicious. I ordered the Tokyo sushi for lunch I am very impressed with how fresh and large it was. I had it delivered to work the packaging was perfect . It was delivered quickly This is the second time I ordered this restaurant is my favorite

Chicken udon
Francesca C.

Came here for lunch and had a great time! Gary was our server and explained the menu really well. They have some really nice seasonal cocktails. I had the matcha lemonade - super tasty and refreshing! The combination meal has so much food and definitely worth it! The garlic edamame was super flavorful! We even dipped our sashimi in the sauce when we ate all the edamame. Definitely recommend this place for the food and very friendly service.

Amazing service! Gary was especially kind and ensured we were well taken care of. The restaurant itself was cute and clean. Food was very delicious, everything was well seasoned and came out quickly as well. If I'm ever in the area again I will definitely be coming back!

California roll
Heather R.

I had walked across Niko Niko Sushi a couple of times and decided to finally try it out for lunch one day. Right as you enter, there is a tablet where you can order take out. A great option. Food took about 15 minutes to be ready. I ordered a California roll and a teriyaki rice bowl. Both were decently portion and tasted fresh. Overall, food is definitely good and worth a visit if you're in the area and craving sushi.

Kuan W.

Food was great! Service was fast and they were helpful with recommendations. Highly recommend!

April R.

Their sushi is pretty decent. They also have great bento boxes. This is a good place to bring people who like Japanese food but don't necessarily eat sushi. The place is casual, nothing fancy. Seating is very functional and decor is minimalist - very Japanese. Service was quick and warm. I'm a big sushi eater and the only reason it's not a 5-star rating for me is because I felt like the nigiri selection was limited.

Beyond the freshness, I loved the creative touches--they clearly put a lot of thought into the garnishes and sauces. The service was attentive, and the restaurant has a great energy.

Some of the fish is genuinely high-quality and worth the tag, but the cost across the board is what keeps it from being a perfect 5/5 for me. Pro Tip: They do validate parking, which is a huge plus! Beef Tantan Nabe -- 5/5 This was my favorite thing here! It's creamy, delicious, and I've never actually had this dish at any other Japanese restaurant. A must-order. Miyabi Tai Carpaccio -- 5/5 So yummy. It has a great combination of flavors and the fish was buttery, it literally melted in my mouth. Toro Roll -- 5/5 Super tasty. They put real gold on it, which felt so extra, but it was actually a great-tasting roll. Blue Crab Hot Pot -- 4/5 This was really good, and I especially loved the char on the rice. Maguro Kajime -- 3.5/5 This was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it felt a little expensive for what it was--taste-wise, it was just whatever. Final Thoughts: Overall, all of the dishes were solid, but you're definitely paying for the experience.

I'll be real, this spot wasn't in the plans for my girlfriend's birthday but schedules changed and…read moreso plans had to chance. Spent a good amount of time browsing Yelp and OpenTable to find a new spot to end the night. Came across TEN on yelp and I'm glad I found this spot. I made a reservation and was a little late due to a previous plan that ended a little later than expected. They sat us right away regardless and the owner greeted us. I asked Brian what his choice of drink is and the crazy thing is I scanned the menu and this drink caught my eye, which he then recommended as his go to, the Yuz it or Lose it. My girlfriend had the Lychee Rose. Started with the Chicken Gyoza and Japanese Nachos for appetizers and ordered the BG roll and Keoni roll. Throughout the night Brian would stop by and made conversation with us a couple times, super attentive and super friendly! At the end of the night Brian brought out a surprise Melted Chocolate Cake with Ice cream and chocolate drizzle & whipped cream on the side, along with what tasted like two shots that tasted like melon? I'm not sure but they were a 5/5! There is a good amount of seating inside and outside. The mix they had playing through the restaurant was absolute fire and it isn't too loud either, you can still hold a conversation without having to raise your voice. They have a parking structure and you'll receive a parking ticket which TEN validates. Yuz it or Lose it: 5/5 A very refreshing and balanced drink. Lychee Rose: 5/5 On the sweeter side but still balanced and the lychee garnish is a nice touch to end the drink Japanese Nachos: 5/5 I literally had to fight the urge to not share these with my girlfriend they're a party in your mouth. (We subbed the spicy tuna for regular tuna) Chicken Gyoza: 5/5 I'm normally a pork gyoza type of person but these were great, nice and juicy and whatever sauce they have at the bottom of the dish was bomb. I literally poured that sauce into my dipping cup instead of the soy sauce that is available BG Roll: 5/5 This roll is tasty and very fresh since there are no cooked items in/on it and the jalapeños on top are a nice touch as well, especially with a little of that sauce from the Chicken Gyoza dish Keoni Roll: 5/5 The eel sauce is a nice touch to this roll along with the jalapeño sauce that they spread on the plate. Shoutout to Brian again! You've earned repeat customers! We will be back

The restaurant atmosphere is very nice and great for date nights. The service was top notch as well.

Today we went there not knowing of the change. The food is now certainly "all you can eat" quality. We opted against the all you can eat limited menu, and ordered of the regular menu but the quality was terrible: 1. The toro nigri was chewy, very thinly cut, with a very small piece of rice. 2. We could not tell the difference between regular salmon and the salmon belly nigri they brought us. It looked and tasted exactly the same. Definitely not fatty salmon belly. 3. The yellow tail belly was chewy. 4. All the fish in their nigri sushi were thinly cut with very little rice. Definitely all you can eat amount of fish. 5. The rolls were small and for some reason all tasted the same with little flavor. If you like all you can eat sushi places which always offer low quality fish, you might like this place. We will miss sushi Imari and the great quality sushi they served.

I really enjoyed our date night at this sushi restaurant! Overall I felt like the sushi was…read morehigh-quality and had a lot of unique flavors that kept things fresh and exciting. You won't find your typical rainbow rolls at this restaurant (I do love a good rainbow roll though). The rolls we ordered were the Snowflake (which was flavored with yuzu), the Lobster roll (which was so much more than a typical baked lobster/langostino roll), and the Are You Kidding Me roll, which was big on truffle flavor and came topped with fried onions. I thoroughly enjoyed the Snowflake roll. It had multiple types of fish inside, and the yuzu flavor added the perfect fresh citrusy touch. It also came dotted with a tiny bit of sriracha (or some other spice) but it was just a hint and it's easy to wipe off if you don't want any spice. The Lobster roll was the star of the show. I give it a 10/10 for presentation, and it was also the best tasting one in my opinion. It was plated with a shelled lobster tail, which looks visually pleasing, but the most impressive part was right before serving, the waitress lit it on fire and handed it to us, as if it were flaming creme brulee or something. The flame actually wasn't on the roll itself, but was on what appeared to be a trail of salt (presumably soaked in some kind of alcohol to make it burn). It definitely was a cool effect and I've never seen anything like it in a sushi restaurant! Lastly, the Are You Kidding Me roll - this was my third favorite out of the three we ordered. It was pretty good but I think the truffle flavor was a bit strong. I'm also personally not a huge fan of fried onions on top of sushi since I think it clashes a bit with the freshness of the fish, and gives me too many bar food vibes. But it certainly was flavorful and my husband and I still finished it. We shared these three sushi rolls between the two of us and it was just the right amount of food to leave feeling full. Besides the food, the restaurant itself was nice although I'm not sure they really needed to have a live DJ there as opposed to having a Spotify Playlist. Didn't bother me but I don't think it really added much to the vibe. I would definitely eat here again!

Celebrated our anniversary !…read more Service was good and friendly. The flavors were beautiful! We sat like in the center of the restaurant. It's one of my fear LOL. But the flavors of the dishes eased my fear. It was delicious. I love salmon and uni when it comes to sushi and I would recommend others to try this place! Several people already saw my instagram post and asked the name of the restaurant! I'm very happy that the food turned out phenomenal! Toyko nacho (recommend) : it was messy to eat and had a kick of spice. I didn't mind the mess though. Lots of different flavors. Uni hotate yuzu: scallops topped with uni. Eating it was like butter. Sour flavor profile from the yuzu. A bit overpowering. And the maldon sea salt was interesting. So you get the texture of buttery soft from the scallop and uni and a crunch factor from the salt. 5pc Salmon nigiri: so fatty and buttery! If you love salmon then definitely get this. The presentation was so cute. It lays on a bed of ice. And throughout the dinner the pieces of salmon were chilled. Monster nigiri (recommend) : I don't think anything about this when my honey suggested order this. But once it got to the table and we ate it. Wow! This dish flavors stood out to me. The crispy sweet onions and sauce perfected the meal. Dragon: It was pretty tasty and decent. I know my honey liked it a lot. He prefers not to eat raw fish, so this was to his liking (I recommend to those who don't eat raw fish). Truffle essence (recommend) : The taste of truffle is weirdly addicting. The presentation was eye catching because the candle is keeping the truffle butter warm. The concept of dipping or pouring the truffle butter onto the roll was a fun way of eating. Snowflake roll: A lot of reviews mentioned this was a popular dish. I can see why it was popular. It's literally a bunch of fish in a roll! Haha, fish lover this would be perfect to order. Crunchy roll: It was a decent roll, but a bit dryer than I expected. Orders and ratings: Tokyo nacho 9/10. Uni hotate yuzu 10/10. 5pc Salmon nigiri 10/10. Monster 11/10. Dragon 8/10. Truffle essence 9/10. Snowflake roll 10/10. Crunchy roll 6/10. Thank you!

Great portion size. Each katsu order includes cabbage salad, rice, pickles, sauces and the entree and miso soup. (Soup is only for dine in only - must order as an add on for to go orders) Attention to detail - katsus are on little cooling racks on the plate to prevent the from getting soggy, great to-go boxes, branded plates, and nicer chopsticks that won't leave you fearing splinters. Nice assortment of appetizers and sides to choose from although haven't tried them since the katsus are so filling.

I had to call in my order (they are on Doordash but the prices are lower if you call). It would be nice if you could order through their website, but it's not a big deal. We got shrimp tempura, chicken katsu with a side of curry, and an Alaskan roll. The food was all delicious! My daughter could not get enough of the Alaskan roll. It's simple and classic, especially if you love salmon. The chicken katsu was really good and I enjoyed dipping it in the curry. They don't offer potatoes or carrots in their curry sauce like some other Japanese restaurants do, which was a small disappointment, but I still really liked the curry. It had that "spicy" but not spicy flavor that comes from all the flavorful spices like ginger that are in the curry, but it wasn't hot (we ordered mild). The chicken katsu was a good portion side and it came with a side of rice and angel hair shredded cabbage. Cabbage isn't the most exciting vegetable, but I'll take it. The shrimp tempura was great too. The takeout bag was packaged really nicely and the katsu came in a fancy little box, so even though we were eating at home it felt a little more upscale. But the prices were pretty on par with other sushi restaurants around here, so it's definitely affordable!
