    After a long day at Disneyland, I was starving and looking for some fuel. At first I thought this was associated with Niku steakhouse and all the chubby cattle brands but it is not. I called ahead just to check on the wait and was pleasantly surprised that it was actually pretty empty. There's plenty of parking and I saw quite a few folks pick up to go orders but I already had my mind set on AYCE. The service is kind and I always love siting at the bar and watching the chefs do their thing. This place was super casual with the tvs on. The sushi itself was just average. I can tell you I hated the chicken skewers and the oysters. The skewers had this odd flavor profile and the oysters did not taste fresh and were so rubbery that I spit it out. All of the other sushi was just decent and average. I wouldn't get the AYCE again but it definitely looks like there are some rolls which are done well so that's prob the way to go.

    Exhibit 1: Niku's past health code violations.
    Rebekah H.

    *NOT AUTISM FRIENDLY* This is not a bad review, just a warning to other parents out there. I wanted to treat my friend to sushi, and she has a toddler who can't eat new foods. I called ahead to ask about their kids menu, then picked up a happy meal at McDonald's since they do not have chicken nuggets. The host up front let us know that Niku had a strict outside food policy. He was very kind about it, but it was still shocking and even felt a bit discriminatory. I understand that restaurants are legally allowed to deny service since they carry all liability for any food consumed on the premise, but at the same time, people with disabilities are also allowed service dogs even though animals in restaurants are considered a health code violation. I guess the law just needs to catch up to include autistic people as well. Again, not a poor review. Just a word of warning. EDIT: Actually, just researched it!! It is in violation of ADA law. We did not bring in competing food (since it was a happy meal to a sushi restaurant), and we didn't ask for the kitchen to prepare the food (heat it up) in any way so no cross contamination. Hopefully, we can both learn from this experience. RESPONSE: Hi, Angela. Please research the matter fully before responding. This is not considered cross contamination since the outside food is not being handled or prepared by kitchen staff or even crossing into food preparation areas. It would be more of a violation if kitchen and service staff were eating in food prep areas. (And with all due respect, seeing as to Niku's past health code violations which are public information, outside food doesn't seem to be your biggest issue anyway.) Here's the bottom line: According to ADA law (please reference Title III) and California's Unruh Civil Rights Act, Autism is a disability requiring meal modifications. It is recognized that federal and state laws regarding equal access for people with disabilities supersede local ordinances. There is also precedent that "outside food" is a "reasonable modification" to accommodate an Autistic toddler. You may refuse service as you are a private business, but you cannot use OC Health Codes as the excuse. I am just here to warn other parents that this establishment is not able to accommodate these specific needs. In the future, I will advocate for my friend's son better than I did that day. I am also hoping that your establishment looks into this a little more carefully as this can open you up to statutory damages should an advocate have a little more time than I do. Here's a helpful quick sheet: https://www.caspcalifornia.com/resources/ada-compliance-restaurants-guide

    I've been passing this place for a while now and finally decided to give it a try. Did the AYCE deal and tried as much as I could the service was quick, the food was great. Only the Cajun tuna tasted a little lacking in freshness, but everything else was wonderful. I have been looking for a good AYCE place and I think this is it! Already hungry for more. We'll definitely be back with friends!

    Came here for lunch at 12pm. There's plenty of parking as there is a private parking lot for the restaurant which is always a plus. For $38.99 each, we got the AYCE sushi. You order on an iPad and they have a large menu of appetizers, nigiri, fresh rolls, cut rolls, and hand rolls. PROS: service was quick and friendly; the sushi is so fresh and so delicious (salmon roe, yellowtail carpaccio, and salmon carpaccio were the BEST); the restaurant is very clean; $39 for fresh and great AYCE sushi is awesome; the interior is cute and the sushi is made right in front of you; plenty of TVs to watch sports and shows. CONS: the nigiri options are limited, while the menu is packed with plenty of fresh roll options; the seating arrangement for lunch can be hit or miss. If you're in the Anaheim area, this is a must try to satisfy your sushi cravings! Our waiters were great and all of the sushi is so visually appealing. The restaurant is quite big as there are basically three different seating areas. There is one area for big parties, a middle hallway for two people seating, and a large mean area with the nice interior and design. Unfortunately, we were sat in the middle hallway area as that's all they seat during lunch hours until it get packed.

    Continuing our search for a decent AYCE sushi place in OC, we made the 40 min trek out to Anaheim to check out Niku Sushi. We decided to go early for dinner (4pm) to avoid any potential crowds. Upon arrival, we were pleased to see that they had free parking. There are several other businesses in the area, along with residential condos right across the street. As we entered, we were surprised at how large the restaurant is. We sat in the front near the entrance, but there's a huge area in the back that can accommodate many people. As soon as we sat down, we were greeted by a friendly employee who explained the AYCE sushi process to us. Basically you order everything on the iPad that they give to you. This is an efficient method because you send your order directly to the kitchen, however I actually prefer having a paper list so I can see everything on one sheet, instead of scrolling up & down. There are limits to how many pieces you can order: Order Limit (per person, per round): * Up to 10 pieces of sushi nigiri * Up to 3 orders of soup & salad * Up to 3 orders of appetizers * Up to 2 orders of rolls (4 - 8 pcs per order) * Up to 2 orders of no-rice rolls (2 pcs per order) This makes me wonder why they call it AYCE if there are limitations. Also you must finish in 100 minutes. The AYCE price for dinner is $38.99 pp, which is lower than most AYCE places that we've tried. The fish to rice ratio was appropriate and the nigiri seemed pretty fresh. The rest of the items we ordered were not as good, such as the salmon skin hand roll (tasteless), the baked oyster and mussels (rubbery) and hubby didn't care for the Alaska roll. He said the crab part tasted funny. Overall, we would not return primarily because everything was just average and it's quite further for us to get there than other AYCE sushi places near us. Great job to the friendly staff though! They were fast and efficient.

    Reasonable AYCE prices, good service, and lots of menu options here at Niku Sushi. My only complaint was the quality of the salmon (my favorite fish) was lacking - dry and not as buttery/rich. Perhaps an off day? Ikura was fishy too. However the samurai no rice roll was good along with the apps (tempura, baked mussels). Decent fish to rice ratio as well.

    Fast service, fun ambience, staff was very attentive and fun to interact with. Came here on a Saturday during around 3 PM, no wait time. Premium dinner AYCE $38.99 The premium options included were delicious!!! Ordering on the IPad was fun and easy, 10 minute cooling off intervals but you CAN queue up for your next round. Dessert is not included

    So many rolls, all are fresh. Made it to 2 rounds.
    Tracy R.

    Peter is absolutely amazing! From the moment you walk in, Peter makes you feel welcomed and taken care of. The service is friendly, attentive, and you can tell he truly cares about his customers. The sushi is incredibly fresh and beautifully prepared. Every roll we tried was delicious, and the quality of the fish really stands out. You can tell a lot of pride goes into the food here. If you're looking for great sushi and a welcoming atmosphere, this place is a must-visit. Peter runs a fantastic restaurant and we'll definitely be coming back!

    Niku Sushi in Anaheim is hands down one of my favorite AYCE spots! The all-you-can-eat menu is the bomb -- super fresh fish, generous portions, and they even include premium options that are actually high quality (not the tiny, "just okay" kind). Everything tasted so fresh and yummy -- you can really tell they care about what they're serving. Honestly... this was even better than the AYCE spots in Little Tokyo -- fresher fish, better variety, and overall just a more satisfying experience. Clara was AMAZING -- so friendly, attentive, and on top of everything without being overbearing. The ambience was great too: relaxed vibe, not too busy, and perfect for actually enjoying your meal without feeling rushed. Tons of choices, great service, and fresh fish every time. Definitely coming back!

    Super Dragon Roll

    This was my first time eating at Niku Sushi located in Anaheim, CA. I'd really wanted to like the place but some of their food fell short. After very disappointing, mediocre mexican food from last night, this was 5 times better but with a few flaws. 4/5 Good -Free refills for the Arnold Palmer was on point. -Grilled shrimp tasted fresh, not the frozen mushy ones. -Service: I had like 3 different servers getting my drinks refilled and some were attentive and some kinda clumsy, dropping the ipad on the table. Some of the food took longer than usual, and I had to flag the staff, but overall service was good. -This place has a lot of seating and outside seating is available too, I think. Parking is good and not too narrow like other places for your vehicles. 3/5 OK -Shrimp tempura was soggy, not crunchy. -Miso soup tasted a bit salty. -Super Dragon Roll tasted ok but I had a lot better in LV and other AYCE sushi places. -Side salad has a good ginger dressing but no tomatoes or cucumber on it. 2/5 Bad -Their beef ribs had small bone fragments. I bit on something really hard twice, and I had to spit it out on a piece of napkin SMH. Also, the marinade and taste it's not Korean style, it's more like a south-east asian flavor. -Chicken wings that were undercooked had to be sent back. -Fries were small bits and pieces. I think these are curly fries. -I wasn't really impressed with some of their sushi rolls and I think the rolls are a bit too big. I really like Unagi (eel) but, for some reason, their Unagi quality wasn't up to par with LV or other AYCE sushi places. -The Salmon collard came out the very last out of all the appetizers and, for being this small, it shouldn't take that long. -Desert wasn't included on the AYCE dinner menu. You would have to shell out another $1.99 or more. I wasn't really mind-blowing dining here at Niku Sushi. Another AYCE sushi place has a lot more to offer and a bit cheaper and dessert is included. Niku Sushi, I wish you guys nothing but the best and your continuing success.

    Overall, a good experience. Staff was helpful (it was our first time at this location), and service was pretty quick. It wasn't too busy. The rolls were fresh, and we ordered our money's worth. On some of the rolls, the sauce/toppings either made it better or made it worse. I was scraping off some of the heavy sauce from some pieces. Oddly, I enjoyed the Orange Chicken and the Chicken Katsu more than some of the rolls I ordered. We were in the area to take care of some business, so I'm not sure I'd be going out of my way to go back.

    Dined here last night with a bunch of friends, and we had a blast! The all-you-can-eat price is a bit steep at $40 per person, but to be fair, the menu is massive--tons of hot food options that make it hard to complain. What really surprised me was that they actually let you opt out of AYCE while sitting at the same table. I didn't even know that was allowed at AYCE places--felt like I discovered a secret menu setting. Our waitress was amazing. She handled our big group like a pro and still made sure I was taken care of even though I wasn't doing AYCE. When I went to pay, she even double-checked that group gratuity wasn't added to my bill, which I really appreciated (don't worry, I still tipped her well!). Overall, great service, great food, and a fun time with friends. I'll definitely be back for AYCE next time I show up really hungry.

    Absolutely astonishing, boys smacked a 9000 calories for the three of us, definitely better option than shawarma if you're actually hungry.

    [Food] Takeout - Curry Pork Cutlet ($20.95): Comes with…read morerice, salad & dressing, miso soup, curry, side of edamame and spicy pickled radish. There were two portions of pork cutlet which were nicely battered and crispy. Happy that they also included tonkatsu sauce! Curry was hearty and delicious! [Service] - Fast, friendly, helpful [Overall] - I ordered over the phone for pickup and felt so bad that I was 20 mins late past their lunch closing time. I made sure to let them know that I'd be late and if that'd be ok and thankfully they waited for me! - Love at how big the portion is and definitely coming back!

    I came here earlier in the evening with my boyfriend since we've been craving gyu katsu for so long…read moresince we went to Japan. We came the last hour of closing and there was still a couple of tables eating inside still. We were greeted upon arrival and we didn't need them to tell us how to order as the only thing on the table was the ordering tablet (self-explanatory). We ended up ordering the premium gyu katsu set along with the curry pork cutlet set that comes with rice and sides along with some beer. The drinks and food came out fairly quick and were steaming hot. I like that the curry came on the side so the pork cutlet wouldn't get soggy and you could pour over as much as you want over the cutlets. The veggie sides were a nice touch and complemented the meal well. The gyu katsu didn't taste like Japan to us, but it was still good especially with the wasabi and sweet soy sauce that came with it. If I came back here, I would give the beef tongue a try along with the creamy udon because those also seemed like a favorite for customers. Service here was friendly and we were checked up on multiple times without having to flag someone down.
