Parking is a little difficult in this small plaza, you'll struggle getting in and out. They offer AYCE or a la carte menu (whole table must decide on one menu). Sushi took extremely long to come out, about 30-40mins and was loaded with way too much rice. Fish quality is fine but my rolls came out cold. Our waiter Henry was extremely inattentive and barely came to check our table. read more

My cousin, her husband and I tried this place out earlier this October. It was near my work and I've always heard great things about it so it was time to finally try it out. We did the AYCE and it didn't disappoint. It was nice and organized when it came to ordering our rolls and appetizers through the small iPad like device. They do give you a time limit of 90 minutes, but it was plenty of time to get the 3 allotted rounds in. I would definitely come here again! I recommend it to any one that's staying in Anaheim or coming from Disneyland and is craving AYCE sushi. read more

Came here on a Wednesday for lunch around noon. Parking was easy, but I can see it getting tough during peak hours. I ordered the bento box with beef bulgogi, salmon teriyaki, and California roll (4 pieces). It also comes with a couple pieces of gyoza (to my surprise), salad, miso soup, and white rice. It was about $20 since I did not get sushi/sashimi. Those are upgrades. The meal was tasty, although the portions weren't as substantial as I would have liked. The servers were nice, and the restaurant was quiet (non-peak hours). They also have an AYCE option, but we did not do that. read more

Niku Sushi - Bento box with salmon teriyaki, Bulgogi Beef, California roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Anaheim, California

Honestly, the food here is pretty good. They have a lot of variety, and there are just so many interesting and different things you can get here compared to other sushi places in the same price range. They have a wide variety of items that I haven't really seen at other sushi spots, and some of the dishes are things I've only seen at other regional cuisines, so it was definitely interesting to try. When we went, it wasn't too busy, so we were able to just walk in and get seated. Everything came out pretty quickly, so we never really had to wait long for our food. They also have a few non-fish options, so if you ever start getting a little fish fatigue, they do have some grilled and beef items as well. I thought that was a nice change and gave us a few more options to choose from. Overall, I'd say this is a pretty solid spot if you're looking for AYCE sushi with a lot of variety and some more unique options compared to other places in the same price range. read more

Update 8/9/26: Came back here for lunch and was disappointed with pretty much everything we ordered this time. My Anaheim Roll was less than stellar. First of all, I did appreciate that they replaced the eel with extra salmon without charging me anything extra. However, each bite had a weird taste that I couldn't quite figure out. It took me a few minutes to realize it was the crunchy topping they put on the roll. Normally, I'm a big fan of the crunchy stuff they put on sushi rolls, but this time it tasted old, funky, and stale. Unfortunately, it completely ruined every bite of the roll. My boyfriend also said the salmon and tuna in his poke bowl didn't taste as fresh as what he's had at other restaurants. And finally, my spicy garlic edamame had a sour taste to it, which I also wasn't a fan of. Overall, pretty disappointing meal this time around. Hopefully, it was just an off day because we've had better experiences here before. read more

First time trying Nikku Sushi, and overall, it was a good experience! I ordered the Las Vegas Roll for takeout, and it was tasty, fresh, and satisfying. The flavors came together nicely, and it made for a great sushi meal to enjoy at home. Takeout was convenient, and I'd definitely consider coming back to try some of their other rolls. A solid first experience! read more

Niku Sushi - Las Vegas Rolls (6Pcs) (x2) - Sushi Bars Near Me - Anaheim, California

We came here after watching a YouTube review by Rockstar Eater, so we were excited to give it a try. Unfortunately, we left a bit underwhelmed. The customer service was excellent. Our waitress was incredibly kind, attentive, and made sure to get our order in before happy hour ended, which we really appreciated. The food, however, didn't quite live up to the hype. While the seafood was fresh and the quality was decent, it wasn't anything we couldn't find closer to home in Garden Grove. During happy hour, the pricing is a great value--you can get two rolls for around $20--but my husband felt the portions were on the smaller side. We ordered the Alaska Roll, Crunch Roll, Rainbow Roll, and Dynamite Roll. The Dynamite Roll was our least favorite, as it was overly mushy and seemed overcooked. For appetizers, we tried the calamari and gyoza. The calamari had a nicely seasoned, crispy batter, but the squid itself was unusually soft and had a strange stringy texture when biting into it. The gyoza was perfectly fine, but fairly standard and nothing particularly memorable. Our total came to $73.60 for four rolls and two appetizers, including an 18% tip. Regardless of how we felt about the food, we were happy to tip because great service deserves to be recognized. Our waitress was friendly, efficient, and attentive throughout the meal, and she is the reason we're giving this restaurant three stars. read more

For a Saturday afternoon at 1pm, place was not busy! Service was ok, staff didn't come check on us or refill waters. Food was just ok. The tuna inside the Niku Roll had a funny taste to it. The salmon hand rolls were good, but the rice on the nigiri sushi was soaked with some type of sauce, maybe ponzu or something. Wasn't the vinegar typical rice. Alaska Roll had way too much crab meat. This place has better hand rolls and nigiri, but not great sushi rolls. Lunch AYCE is $38 and you can only order premium pieces, one order only! Have to wait 10 minutes before next order. They had too many rules on that tablet. read more

My friend took me here for a birthday lunch. We really enjoyed their AYCE sushi. The salmon carpaccio was really good and refreshing. The nigiri was really good too. The staff was friendly and the food came out fast. read more

Pros: -Quality: Fish and rice were both of decent quality. -Menu Highlights: Some neat local rolls with an excellent ratio of rice to other ingredients. -Ambiance: Clean, comfortable seating, and an overall pleasant environment. Cons: -Value & Limitations: For a $40 AYCE option, the restrictions are disappointing--no sashimi included, no torched sushi options, extremely limited seared offerings capped at two pieces per person, and no ice cream. -Service Issues: Service was notably slow. Staff blamed a nearby conference, despite there being no actual conference attendees seated in the restaurant. -Staff Knowledge: The staff appeared unfamiliar with the basic culinary concept of a torched sushi roll, confusing it with seared items. read more

He was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. Great food, great service, and definitely worth the visit. We'll absolutely be coming back! read more

The sushi was so yummy. The service was great, friendly staff, great ambiance. Our favorite rolls were the Kings Lion and the Orange Dragon but overall everything was delicious. There is plenty of parking on the premises and the restaurant is clean, music is not loud so I could carry on a conversation without yelling. Tea was hot and yummy. I'd come here again. Thank you . :) read more

*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 read more

Niku Sushi - Exhibit 1: Niku's past health code violations. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Anaheim, California

My family and I had the pleasure of dining here tonight and we had an amazing dinner! We were a bit upset that everyone at the table had to eat off the same menu (AYCE vs not AYCE) as we were with our two children (4 and 7 years old), but the AYCE price was very fair for both adults and children. We ended up paying less than our local sushi spot in the IE where my kids do not get AYCE. First of all, the food was amazing! Fish was fresh and there was a good balance of rice to fish. The riceless rolls were also very delicious! The only thing I didn't like is that I couldn't eat more! Yes, we had to order on an iPad but I enjoyed it as we were able to put in orders when we needed it. Also, there was a button on the iPad to request a server if needed, but it was not needed as the servers were VERY attentive. We loved our time here and cannot wait to be back in the area so that we can dine here again. Thank you for the wonderful experience! read more

-- Three stars because the food was great. I came in and told my waiter I wanted the all-you-can-eat special. He handed me an iPad to select what I wanted. The problem was that after I placed my order, I had to keep asking the waiter directly for the items I had already selected. I understand that with all-you-can-eat, they may wait until you finish one plate before bringing the next. That's completely reasonable. What wasn't reasonable was being left sitting there for 15-20 minutes with no food and having to flag down the waiter just to ask where my next plate was. The food itself was great, but the service really took away from the experience. I shouldn't have to repeatedly ask for food that I already ordered. read more

We celebrated our son's 18th birthday at Niku Sushi, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish! The sushi was absolutely delicious and incredibly fresh, with so many great choices that everyone in our family found something they loved. The AYCE option was perfect for a birthday celebration, and we really enjoyed being able to try a variety of dishes together. What made the evening even more special was the friendly and welcoming service. Everyone was so kind and attentive, and they helped create a fun and memorable atmosphere for such an important milestone in our son's life. Thank you, Niku Sushi, for making our son's 18th birthday celebration extra special! We'll definitely be back! read more

One of the better AYCE AYCE AYCE sushi spots I've tried. About 10 minutes from Disneyland in downtown Anaheim. There's free parking and a big restaurant with a lot of tables and bar seating. We came in for dinner, $38.99 PP. 100 minutes time limit, order via tablet and you can order every 10 minutes (wait every 10 minutes to place an order). Plenty of time. The specialty fish and dishes were delicious. 1 per person, Salmon, Yellowtail belly, Hotate (large scallop), carpaccio, etc. the nigiri sushi was outstanding, fresh, not a ton of fish and rice (loved their different sushi), appetizers and dishes abound. The service was also awesome as the wait staff checked on us often. Water and soda were always full. Great time, great sushi, definitely be back after my next Disneyland trip again! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Restaurant is in a cute area. Service was fast, the nigiri and handrolls are tasty. The edamame was a little over cooked but still tasty.

I have dined at this restaurant many, many times and have always experienced top-tier hospitality and quality-forward dishes, which is why this visit was particularly disappointing. I actually attempted to call twice before writing this review because I wanted to give the restaurant an opportunity to address my concerns directly. We dined in on Sunday evening, and I completely understand that it was busy. In fact, we love seeing small businesses thrive and attract support from the local community. We waited patiently, and after about 15 minutes, we were seated. Once seated, we understood the tablet ordering system and were able to place our orders without an issue. Unfortunately, the service began to break down from there. Our server forgot our beer order, which by itself was not a big deal. However, we were also not informed that Salmon belly Sushi was unavailable until 15 minutes after. More importantly, our first two rounds of sushi never arrived. The main waiter was not around, so we weren't able to communicate that we were getting to the point where we were considering leaving. Fortunately, Patty, who I believe was the lead on shift, noticed that we had no food in front of us and stepped in. She brought out a round of sushi and continued checking on us throughout the remainder of our visit. Unfortunately, we experienced the same issue again--our additional sushi orders never arrived. At that point, it was simply too late. We canceled the remainder of our orders and just wanted to pay and leave. I do want to give Patty credit because she genuinely tried to recover the experience. She was attentive, checked on us repeatedly, and clearly recognized that something had gone wrong. She even offered a dessert as a gesture, but by that point, we were more interested in leaving than continuing the meal. Overall, this would have been a one-star experience based on the service and execution alone. The only reason I couldn't bring myself to give one star was because of Patty and the effort she made to take ownership of the situation. I hope management takes this feedback seriously. When a restaurant is busy, I completely understand that things can take longer. What matters is communication, awareness, and making sure guests aren't left wondering what happened to their orders. I truly hope this was just an off night because I have had many wonderful experiences here in the past and would love to see the restaurant get back to the level of hospitality I've come to expect. Also, please tell your sushi chefs to not chew gum while preparing Guests' sushi. read more

Stopped by Niku Sushi after Disney for Mother's Day and it was such a good choice. We did the all you can eat sushi and everything tasted super fresh. Even the short rib surprised me -- super tender and packed with flavor. The sushi itself was really well balanced too. A lot of places overload the rice, but the fish-to-rice ratio here was perfect and you could actually appreciate how fresh the fish was. Huge shoutout to Christopher, Clara, and Kevin for taking amazing care of us the entire time. The service was attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience even better. The only small downside was that my son only ate plain rice and we were charged $3 per bowl for it. I totally understand policies, but since he wasn't really eating from the menu otherwise, it would've been nice if there had been a little flexibility there. Overall though, the food and service were great and we'll absolutely be back whenever we're in the area again. read more
